Root of the Cause Radio Root of the Cause Radio

Part 2 of my discussion with Roxanne Grobbel, leading expert in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Listen as Roxanne demystifies EMDR and teaches us just how effective and well researched this treatment is.
Roxanne is a certified EMDR therapist and consultant. With a career focused on trauma-related issues, she is widely considered one of the leading experts on EMDR today. Roxanne is also an EMDRIA-approved EMDR instructor, teaching clinicians both basic and advanced EMDR courses and traveling around the country conducting workshops and lectures. Roxanne currently provides intensive trauma treatment at the 11th Hour Trauma Retreat in Denver, Colorado.

In this episode of Root of the Cause Radio, I’ll be covering the good, the bad and the ugly of estrogen metabolites: the more benign 2-Hydroxyestrone, the duality of the 16-Hydroxyestrone and the dreaded 4-Hydroxyestrone.
1:53 - Phase 1 estrogen detoxification and estrogen metabolites
2:47 - 16-Hydroxyestrone, the impact, risk and reasons for high levels and the possible downsides of very low levels
4:06 - Can Estriol convert into anything harmful or helpful?
5:40 - The bad and ugly of the 4-Hydroxyestrone and how methylation plays a critical role
7:42 - Phosphatidylcholine and how it can indirectly help to neutralize the 4-Hydroxyestrone metabolite
9:23 - What happens to the 4-Hydroxyestrones that don’t get methylated? Hint: DNA damage
9:42 - How sulforaphane stimulates glutathione S transferase and quinone reductase to mop up DNA damaging quinones
11:12 - Can you measure quinone levels? Can you measure DNA damage from oxidative stress (8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine)?
12:00 - How glutathione is made and the critical nutrients necessary
13:49 - How glutathione and sulforaphane impact estrogen metabolites that don’t get methylated

Today’s episode is part 2 of my 3-part series on estrogen, where I’ll be covering the nuts and bolts of how we properly eliminate estrogen from the body, what’s needed to do so and some reasons for why that process may become suboptimal. I also discuss the timing of testing as well as how and why that detail can render greater value for some people.
2:58 - Does the day of the month you test for estrogen matter? If so, when should you test and why
4:52 - Mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and its importance with estrogen testing
6:24 - Estrogen clearance 101
6:52 - The gallbladder’s, liver’s and bile’s impact on estrogen clearance
7:53 - Bile production, bile flow, bile acids vs. bile salts and glycine/taurine and how they all impact estrogen clearance
9:50 - Phosphatidylcholine, PEMT gene and their impact on bile and the gallbladder
11:13 - Gut dysbiosis
14:11 - Calcium D-glucarate
15:29 - Some potential reasons for high estrogen in men

Today begins part 1 of my 3-part series on estrogen.
I believe estrogen to be a very misunderstood hormone in the body, which is why I decided to use this platform to break down the finer points of estrogen, not only for women but for men as well.
2:30 - Estrogen basics in women
4:12 - Estrogen, bone density and PTH’s (parathyroid hormone’s) interplay
5:05 - How estrogen is made in men
6:18 - The aromatase gene (CYP19)
7:07 - Effects of high and low estrogen in men
10:16 - The 3 main estrogens and the pros, cons and limitations within the various testing methods
14:35 - SHGB (sex hormone-binding globulin)
19:42 - Estrogen metabolites (2-, 4-, and 16-Hydroxyestrones) and the value of knowing your levels

In this episode, we cover leaky gut, immune modulation, cancer, IGF1, growth hormone, pathogens and liposomal delivery systems, just to name a few.
My guest today is Douglas Wyatt. Doug is the founder of Sovereign Laboratories, which provides the most efficacious bovine colostrum for immune resilience and maintaining homeostasis. Colostrum has been shown to help restore gastrointestinal damage caused by leaky gut, a primary cause of chronic disease. As Director of Research for the Vibrant Life Institute, Doug is the leading expert in colostrum and is credited with reintroducing bovine colostrum for human use.
Mr. Wyatt is also a proponent of colostrum’s unique and powerful bioactive components that show incredible promise for turning the tide on the prevention and treatment of the world’s increasing chronic disease epidemic.
2:10 - Doug’s story of his serendipitous discovery of colostrum and how he became a leading authority on the subject 
12:08 - What is colostrum? What is its biological purpose and function for a newborn child? 
17:05 - The effects on infants who do not receive colostrum and what can be done to remedy that
19:33 - What else can colostrum do other than what it’s most known for – healing leaky gut? Contains lactoferrin (antimicrobial, inhibits viral replication, iron sequestrate), immunoglobulins (aids in fighting pathogens), polypeptides (immune modulatory)
29:48 - Colostrum…immune “booster” or immune modulatory and what the difference is 
35:20 - Liposomal turmeric and vitamin C 
38:56 - What liposomal is and why liposomal colostrum is superior
44:00 - Leaky gut. Is it real? If so, how to test for it? 
48:59 - Secretory IgA (the gut’s immune system) in the context of colostrum
51:33 - The IGF1/growth hormone with colostrum, cancer and if there are possible concerns
