Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND - Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, PMDD, PMOS and Postpartum Hormones
Women are often told that painful periods, irregular cycles, bloating, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, postpartum symptoms, and hormonal shifts are “normal.”But common does not mean something should be ignored.In this episode, Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND joins me for a practical deep dive into female-specific conditions that are too often missed, minimized, or treated in isolation, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMDD, PCOS/PMOS, fibroids, postpartum thyroid changes, and the gut-hormone connection.Dr. Brighten explains why endometriosis is not just a reproductive condition, how adenomyosis differs from endometriosis, why PMDD is not simply “bad PM...

Dr. Izabella Wentz: IBS Root Causes, Leaky Gut, Autoimmunity, and How To Start Healing Your Gut
Less than 25% of people with IBS get real relief from conventional medicine. That number tells you everything about how the current approach is failing.Most people with IBS have been told it is stress, told to take medication, and sent home. But irritable bowel syndrome is not one condition, it is a label applied to a cluster of symptoms that can have 20 to 40 completely different root causes. And left unaddressed, it is one of the most reliable predictors of autoimmune disease down the line.In this episode I sit down with Dr. Izabella Wentz, clinical...

Dr. Scott Sherr, MD: Why Stress Blocks Healing: Mitochondria, Immune Aging, Hyperbaric Oxygen, and Methylene Blue

Prof. Belinda Beck, PhD: Bone Health: Building Strong Bones, Preventing Age-Related Loss, And Reversing Osteoporosis With Evidence-Based Exercise
Most women are not thinking about their bones until a fracture happens or a scan comes back alarmingly. By then, the window for the most impactful intervention has often been narrowing for decades. Bone density peaks around age 18, not 30 as widely believed and the slow decline that follows is largely silent until it isn't.Professor Belinda Beck, PhD has spent more than two decades studying exactly what it takes to stop and reverse that decline. She is a professor at Griffith University, founder of the Bloom Clinic in Brisbane, and the principal investigator behind the LIFTMORE trials...
