    If you've been taking probiotics but still struggling with bloating, food sensitivities, anxiety, or stubborn gut issues this episode is going to change how you think about your microbiome. I'm joined by gut health experts Dr. Oscar Coetzee and Danielle Arnold from the supplement company Designs for Health, and we're diving into the next generation of probiotics and why most women over 40 have been missing a key piece. We cover: Why traditional probiotics often don't "stick" The real reason your gut may feel worse after protocols How your microbiome impacts mood, hormones, and metabolism Why diet alone isn't enough anymore The rise of keystone bacteria + anaerobic probiotics What to do if you've tried everything and still have symptoms NOTE: If you're navigating perimenopause, digestive issues, anxiety, or food sensitivities, this episode will give you a completely new lens on healing.   What You'll Learn ✔️ Why probiotics are temporary (and what actually lasts) ✔️ The difference between traditional vs. next-gen probiotics ✔️ How your gut bacteria influence serotonin, dopamine & mood ✔️ Why "killing bad bacteria" may be making things worse ✔️ The connection between low diversity + hair loss, fatigue & hormone issues ✔️ How to rebuild a resilient gut ecosystem (not just patch symptoms)   Key Takeaways: Your gut isn't broken it's often underpopulated (too sterile) Bloating can be a sign your gut is trying to heal not failing Restrictive diets may slow your progress long-term You need both: The right bacteria (seeds) The right foods (fertilizer)   Why Most Probiotics Fail Traditional probiotics: Don't colonize long-term Work only while you take them Don't rebuild the ecosystem The future of probiotics may be = keystone strains + anaerobic bacteria These help: Restore gut environment Improve immune balance Crowd out harmful bacteria naturally Gut + Hormones + Mood Connection Your gut directly impacts: Estrogen metabolism Neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine) Nutrient absorption (iron, B12, amino acids) Which means it influences: Anxiety Sleep Weight gain Perimenopause symptoms   Where to Start If you're overwhelmed, start here: Support digestion first Chew thoroughly Consider digestive enzymes Increase food diversity Aim for more color + fiber Avoid long-term restriction Rebuild your gut ecosystem Focus on foundational bacteria (not just random probiotics) Be consistent Gut repair = ecosystem rebuilding, not a quick fix Who This Episode Is For? This is for you if you: Are 40+ and feel like your body has changed Struggle with bloating, food sensitivities, or IBS symptoms Have tried probiotics but saw little or no results Deal with anxiety, mood swings, or low energy Want a science-backed, realistic approach to gut health   Resources From The Show Designs for Health Anaerostipes Beneficial Bacteria

    Ep 602: Healing Lichen Sclerosus Naturally with Autumn McLees

    In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Autumn McLees to discuss her powerful journey navigating Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many women but is rarely talked about openly. After experiencing painful symptoms and receiving conventional treatments that focused primarily on symptom management, Autumn began questioning whether there might be deeper root causes behind her condition. Her search for answers led her into the world of holistic health, functional medicine, and lifestyle-based healing. Autumn shares how her autoimmune diagnosis became a turning point—one that shifted her perspective from seeing her body as broken to recognizing it as a messenger asking for change. Throughout the conversation, she discusses the dietary and lifestyle shifts that helped reduce flare-ups, the mindset required to stay committed to healing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with practitioners who focus on root-cause healing rather than symptom suppression. Autumn also opens up about navigating new health challenges along the way and how staying proactive with nutrition, gut health, and vaginal microbiome support continues to play a key role in maintaining her progress. This episode offers hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or unexplained symptoms, especially women who may feel dismissed or unsupported in traditional medical settings. What You'll Learn in This Episode What Lichen Sclerosus is and why it can be so uncomfortable and disruptive Early symptoms many women overlook, including tearing and irritation Why conventional treatments often focus on symptom management rather than root causes How holistic and functional medicine approaches can help address underlying imbalances The role dietary changes play in reducing inflammation and preventing flare-ups Why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term symptom management How mindset and motivation influence the healing process The importance of identifying dietary triggers How probiotics and microbiome support can benefit vaginal health Why sharing personal health journeys empowers others to advocate for themselves Key Takeaways Lichen Sclerosus can cause severe discomfort and symptoms like tearing and irritation. Holistic approaches may provide additional tools beyond conventional treatments. Dietary changes can significantly impact inflammation and symptom flare-ups. Long-term management requires ongoing attention to lifestyle and stress. Healing often begins when we start listening to our bodies instead of ignoring symptoms. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing root causes. Support from knowledgeable practitioners and community can make the healing journey easier. Awareness of food triggers can help prevent symptom recurrence. Vaginal microbiome health is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle. Sharing personal stories can inspire others to take control of their health. About Autumn McLees Autumn McLees knows firsthand what it's like to feel stuck in a cycle of searching for answers in a system designed more for symptom management than true healing. After receiving an autoimmune diagnosis, she began questioning conventional approaches and exploring holistic alternatives. Through that journey, she realized her body wasn't failing her—it was asking her to pay attention. Today, Autumn helps others understand that healing doesn't require perfection or permission. It begins with the courage to question the norm, clean up lifestyle habits, and seek out practitioners who focus on the root causes of illness. Her mission is to empower people to reconnect with their bodies' natural ability to heal and provide the tools, resources, and support needed to make lasting transformation possible.

    Ep 600: You're making the effort, doing the hormone Balancing & you're still waiting to feel amazing with Jay Campbell

    In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.   Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.   Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.   The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!   Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.   Resources From The Show: Jay's Website - https://jaycampbell.com/ Jay's Peptide Company - https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Jay's New Book - Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides Dr. J's March 18th, 2026 Workshop: 5:30p PST/7:30p CST (register to get the replay if you can't make it live) - The Art of Staying Your Sport or Hobby and Being Adventure Ready at Any Age
