In this episode, we delve into the topic of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and explore why it may not be necessary for everyone. We discuss the alarming statistic that 56% of people currently on TRT don't actually need it, and provide insights into how to naturally optimize testosterone levels. Join us as we uncover the 10 testosterone killers to avoid and take control of your hormonal health.

Show Notes:

1. Understanding Testosterone and TRT
   • Testosterone is a hormone responsible for various functions in the body.
   • TRT is a growing industry, but not everyone needs it.
   • Overprescription of TRT is akin to the opioid epidemic; we need to address root causes.
2. How Testosterone Is Produced
   • Testosterone production involves the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonads.
   • Micronutrients like vitamin D play a role in boosting testosterone naturally.
3. The Ten Testosterone Killers
   • Vegetable Oils: Avoid them due to their impact on hormone regulation.
   • High Stress and Anxiety Levels: Chronic stress leads to increased cortisol, which lowers testosterone.
   • Excessive Alcohol Intake: Consistent alcohol consumption affects testosterone levels negatively.
   • Refined Carbohydrates and Sugar: High-glycemic diets lead to temporary drops in testosterone.
   • Dehydration: Proper hydration is essential for optimal testosterone production.
   • Excess Body Fat: Obesity reduces testosterone and converts more to estrogen.
   • Lack of Exercise: Physical activity helps maintain healthy testosterone levels.
   • Medications: Some medications, like statins, can lower testosterone.
   • Triclosan and Triclocarban: Found in certain soaps and products, these chemicals disrupt hormone balance.
   • Xenoestrogens: These chemicals mimic estrogen and can be found in skincare and personal care products.
4. Taking Action
   • Live a Life by Design: Become aware of your habits and behaviors and make intentional changes.
   • Cellular Testing: Consider micronutrient testing to address deficiencies and customize supplementation.

Taking control of your testosterone levels doesn't necessarily require TRT. By understanding the 10 testosterone killers and making lifestyle changes, you can naturally optimize your hormonal health and improve your overall well-being.

85% of women have hot flashes. They are generally accepted as part of midlife. However, there is a reason for hot flashes and ways to deal with them. In this episode, we unpack WHAT hot flashes are, WHAT triggers them and WHAT you can DO about them.

Hot flashes can start as early as late-30’s through your 50’s and possibly into your 60’s. They are annoying and difficult, but you do not have to sit by and take them. Triggers include alcohol, spicy, some medications, plus a whole lot more!

There are SO many holistic solutions, and we want to bring your the best of the best. In this episode, you'll hear about mindfulness, acupuncture, cooling foods, plus, essential oil blends, herbs, and bedtime routines.

It's the SEASON FINALE and there's no other way to go out than talking about what everyone apparently wants to know; when you are getting pregnant. 

(GASP - she's over 30 and single, whatever will she do?!)

We're joined by Naturopathic Doctor and Birth Doula, Dr. Jessica Dupont, who maintains a general family practice with a focus on hormonal regulation, women’s health (PMS, fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, etc.), fertility, and perinatal care. Dr. Jess gives us the real deal about 'geriatric pregnancy,' egg quality, and what your 30's mean when it comes to fertility and family planning. Don't think any of you men are off the hook! There are some key takeaways for you to lean into as you are also a major player in the process. 

Our hormones play a critical role in how we feel; from sleep to temperature regulation to clarity, if they are out of balance you won't feel your best.  Dr. Valerie Bonnett uses functional medicine to treat patients so that your whole self is feeling its best rather than masking other symptoms.

This week I talk with Dr. Valerie Bonnett about balancing hormones in all stages of life, particularly mid-life and beyond.  She shares how taking a tissue-level test is the ideal way to measure hormones in your body and some indicators as to what an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone and testosterone in your body may look like.

For a list of these indicators, visit the show notes page.
