    Breaking Down Homocysteine: Homocysteine and Brain Health, Adrenal and Thyroid Considerations, Sexual Dysfunction, and More!

    Breaking Down Homocysteine: Homocysteine and Brain Health, Adrenal and Thyroid Considerations, Sexual Dysfunction, and More!

    Today's episode covers an underrated lab marker that I wanted to cover in depth and that is homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid. Vitamins B12, B6 and folate break down homocysteine to create other chemicals your body needs. High homocysteine levels may indicate a vitamin deficiency. Without treatment, elevated homocysteine can potentially increases risk for dementia, heart disease and stroke. We'll discuss homocysteine from a variety of aspects along with client considerations. Topics include:
     
    - Discussing Homocysteine
    - What is Homocysteine?
    - Homocysteine and High Blood Pressure
    - Homocysteine and Brain Health
    - Sex Hormones and Sexual Dysfunction
    - Adrenal and Thyroid Considerations
    - The Client’s Mental State
    - Creatine Supplementation

All Time FAV

Super long, overdue review - definitely my fav podcast! I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2020, when I was at the beginning of my online coaching career. I’ve really enjoyed the episodes because he breaks down the science into very tangible pieces of info to take away for yourself/clients. There’s a lot of information out there in the health space and can be super overwhelming when you are trying to further your education. But this podcast specifically hits on functional health and how to address both basic and more in depth health focuses for my clients. There are a ton of topics on here that are helpful for both a business and educational perspective as well - so it’s nice to occasionally get the marketing/coaching tips as I have continued to keep up with my own functional health education. I’ve been able to make a lot of changes within my 1:1 coaching program and for protocols with clients in regards to bloodwork, supplements, nutrition and my structuring of check ins.

Allon Health & Wellness ,

Great podcast!

Sam Miller’s podcast is informative details and sensitive to the needs of all kinds of people. I value the Contant as a personal trainer for the perspective he gives and how it further helps my clients. Podcast topics are always timely, I have found when I have a question about something. Usually that topic comes up next in my feed. I highly recommend this podcast.

texas-girl-29- ,

My favorite!

Wish this guy was taking new clients because he’s a breath of fresh air for everyone, but especially the functional medicine/overall health approach that comes super helpful to females.
