Menopause is a natural transition that every woman will experience, yet it remains shrouded in misinformation and misunderstanding. Hormone pharmacist Steve Goldring is here to shatter the myths and empower women to take control of their menopausal health!
A compound pharmacist, like Steve Goldring, with over 25 years of experience, is uniquely positioned to offer authoritative and trustworthy insights on the effective management of hormone-related conditions.
Importantly, pharmacists are considered one of the most trusted healthcare professionals by both patients and other providers! As medication experts, they play a crucial role in helping patients and prescribers select the appropriate hormone products and delivery methods based on the individual's symptoms, adverse effects, and other factors.
In this insightful interview, Steve sheds light on the often-misunderstood world of menopause. He addresses the recent Lancet article that criticized the "overmedicalization" of menopause, which he found to be a flawed and misleading perspective.
Steve delves into the complexities of hormones and the various solutions available to women during this transitional phase of life. He explains the differences between the hormones used in the controversial Women's Health Initiative (WHI) studies and the bioidentical hormones that are often a better fit for menopausal women.
You will gain a deeper understanding of the flaws in the WHI studies, and what you need to know to make informed decisions about your hormones and health.
He also discusses the importance of testosterone therapy and the challenges of progesterone intolerance, providing valuable insights for women navigating the often-confusing landscape of menopause management.
This interview offers a refreshingly honest and empowering perspective about menopause and hormone therapy! Steve's expert insights will help you answer the question, "is hormone therapy right for me?"

Understanding the thyroid is one of the most important things women can do, especially in perimenopause and menopause. There are so many misconceptions surrounding the thyroid, including appropriate testing, supplements, medications, diet, lifestyle, the different causes, and contributing factors to thyroid dysfunction.
The guidance people receive from their healthcare providers often leave them confused, and often they still don’t feel well and symptoms persist despite being on medication to treat their thyroid disorder.
Dr. Mazza is triple board-certified in endocrinology, internal medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. She is the author of the recently released book, “Thyroid Talk,” and the owner of the Metabolic Center for Wellness in Florida. She uses a unique, integrative approach to managing and treating thyroid and other metabolic disorders, and she is only physician in Central Florida who can perform a safe, non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure for thyroid nodules!
In this conversation, Dr. Mazza dispels thyroid myths, discusses needed testing to appropriately evaluate thyroid function, answers the most commonly asked questions about Hashimoto’s disease, explains why autoimmune diseases increase with age in women, new research on selenium, why women in perimenopause and menopause struggle with weight loss, use of GLP-1 medications, and she provides actionable steps one can take to improve their thyroid and overall health.

New to me, The 5-Minute NP?
Hello! I'm Kimberly, and I am a family nurse practitioner (FNP)! In my last year of FNP school, I was in the worse shape of my life mentally and physically! My joints ached all over, and I had severe back pain that made it difficult to get through my clinical rotations! I had three spinal injections that were of little help! I was stressed out, sleep deprived, depressed, and my body was full of inflammation! Once I completed school, passed my boards, I realized I had to try to get my health back! I changed to a plant-based diet, starting walking, completed a 100-mile, 10- day challenge, started sleeping, changed my mindset, and through it all, I found my purpose (other than being a mom to four beautiful children)! Everything I was learning about health, wellness, mindset, & longevity, I wanted to share with everyone else, so I started The 5-Minute NP. I realized small, incremental health changes were actually life changing!
Welcome to The 5-Minute NP Podcast

Dr. Robert J. Davis, author of Supersized Lies, joins me in this episode to share some of the research that he reveals in the book. Dr. Davis, a.k.a. The Healthy Skeptic, is an award-winning health journalist who has been featured on multiple media outlets, such as , CNN, CBS, PBS, WebMD, and in The Wall Street Journal. He has previously authored three health books, and hosts The Healthy Skeptic video series, which he dissects the science behind popular, main-stream health claims.
We are constantly being bombarded with advice on diet and weight loss, such as eat less, exercise more, cut carbs, drink more water, skip meals, take supplements, drink apple cider vinegar, and more, but in his book he provides what the science really says about nutrition and how to lose weight! He explains practical, time and money saving strategies on what actually works, and how & why we have been led astray.

In this episode, I was fortunate to interview Brian Ferguson, the founder and CEO of Arena Labs, a company pioneering the field of high performance medicine, which brings the science of world-class performance, creative mastery, and elite teams into modern medicine. They take collective wisdom and power of people with deep experiences doing hard things under pressure, then focus that in the field of medicine!
Essentially, Arena labs focuses on the human element of being a front-line clinician by equipping them with the tools and technology to improve their performance, emotional intelligence, manage their sleep, stress, and health, and ultimately helping them improve patient safety and outcomes.
Brian spent a career in national security prior to founding Arena Labs. His drive to take his knowledge and experience into the medical field came from his mom who was a nurse. I personally spent 15 years working as an ER nurse prior to moving into the urgent care, so I know the effects of stress and the toll it takes on the body working in such a demanding area. In this episode, Brian discusses Arena labs, its goals, mission, resources, and how it can be integrated into individual lives of frontline workers or as a team. We discuss physical and emotional effects of stress and burnout. We discuss the impact on team members when leadership is not managing their stress, and much more!

Hello! I'm Kimberly, and I am a family nurse practitioner (FNP)! In my last year of FNP school, I was in the worse shape of my life mentally and physically! My joints ached all over, and I had severe back pain that made it difficult to get through my clinical rotations! I had three spinal injections that were of little help! I was stressed out, sleep deprived, depressed, and my body was full of inflammation! Once I completed school, passed my boards, I realized I had to try to get my health back! I changed to a plant-based diet, starting walking, completed a 100-mile, 10- day challenge, started sleeping, changed my mindset, and through it all, I found my purpose (other than being a mom to four beautiful children)! Everything I was learning about health, wellness, mindset, & longevity, I wanted to share with everyone else, so I started The 5-Minute NP. I realized small, incremental health changes were actually life changing!

"Beyond the thinking mind, there is a place of calm and silence"
Jimmy Wightman, largely known on Instagram as, "That Meditation Guy," joined me on this episode to share more about his passion, transcendental meditation. The benefits of meditation are well researched and evidence has shown it can reduce stress, improve sleep, mental, and physical health, improve our relationships and sex life, and help us live longer.
Jimmy suffered for years with insomnia robbing him of his joy and decreasing his quality of life. He had heard that mediation was a scientifically proven way to treat his insomnia problem, so tried to learn everything he could about it. He took courses on mindfulness, read books, and listened to guided meditation CDs, but he never found that deep inner place he had heard about, and his insomnia problem wasn't fixed. That is until he found a teacher from the ancient Vedic tradition, and after four days of solid meditation training, his sleep problems, and his life journey had been discovered. After years of training, he now teaches busy people the most powerful, transformative meditation technique there is for connecting to "deep inner silence and stillness." He shows you how to get into this state in just 20 minutes, and once you've mastered the skill, it is with you for life.

Dr. Millie Lee, Integrative cardiologist and author of the best selling book, "Your Heart Is In Your Hands, spent over twenty years practicing interventional cardiology before she realized the chronic nature of heart disease and there was a need for a more holistic approach. She transitioned to integrative cardiology to help her patients get to the root cause of the disease and to give them hope that heart disease can be prevented and even reversed.
In this episode, she shares her expertise in cardiology and functional medicine to give a better understanding of what she calls, "the heart matrix," the five elements that correspond to dysfunction in the five major body systems that are interconnected to the heart, the immune system, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine, and genetics. These elements are correlated with the five root causes of chronic disease, inflammation, insulin-resistance, stress, genetics, and our microbiome, and they influence one another.
She discusses what we really need to know about cholesterol, stress, and inflammation, and provides simple lifestyle strategies we can start making today.

Way before COVID-19 came around, Dr. Stasha Gominak was discussing the role of vitamin D for our sleep, mental well-being, immunity, microbiome, bone and skin health, and prevention of chronic disease. Dr. Stasha Gominak is a Neurologist who left her practice to focus solely on treating neurological illness by improving sleep. Our body repairs itself through sleep, yet sleep problems have become an epidemic since the 80s when everyone started wearing sunscreens and started spending more time indoors. Vitamin D is well-known as the "bone vitamin or the sun vitamin," but in reality vitamin D is a hormone that affects multiple parts of our body, but we do make it through sun exposure. Dr. Gominak provides a thorough understanding of the correlation between vitamin D, vitamin B , the microbiome, and sleep disorders.
You may discover that your insomnia, fatigue, nightly leg pains or burning, weight gain, mood or memory problems, high blood pressure, reproductive or fertility problems, or autoimmune disorders, are the result of these vitamin deficiencies, gut imbalances, and poor sleep! She also discusses that the similar issues are happening in childhood resulting in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and even autism. She discusses some interesting findings related to the neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine, as it relates to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest system), nicotine, and its role being a inflammatory pathway.

It was my honor to interview Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn! He is well-known for his role in the Forks Over Knives documentary and his revolutionary, scientifically proven book, How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, both advocate for whole foods plant based diet to prevent and reverse disease. Dr, Esselstyn is an American physician who has been associated with the Cleveland clinic since 1968, and presently directs the cardiovascular prevention and reversal program at The Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute.
In this episode, he explains the underlying cause of heart disease, and all underlying vascular diseases, such as diabetes vascular dementia, high blood pressure, and Alzheimers. It is well-known that most diabetics die from heart disease rather than diabetes itself. He says it is damage to the endothelial vessels and loss of nitric oxide that contributes to these diseases. Based on the evidence he has seen, he is strongly against oils that are touted as beneficial, such as olive oil. He explains in his article, Is Oil Healthy? Dr. Esselstyn shows that cardiovascular disease is not malignant, and it can be reversed through a plant-based diet. You will leave this interview empowered knowing you have the power to change your health and your life, you don't have to be a victim to your genes or chronic disease! Enjoy the podcast!

Ep. 26: Stop Smoking Now & Forever, with Allen Carr's Easyway, Natalie Clays, Therapist, Director & Facilitator at Allen Carr's EasyWay USA/ANZ. Natalie is the quit smoking therapist that people have turned to, so they can kick the habit once and for all! Natalie was addicted to smoking from the age of 15 and carried on for years! Like so many people, she had tried every method available to stop, but nothing worked! That is until she attended a one day Allen Carr seminar, which would change her life forever! Not only did she stop smoking, but the experience impacted her so much that she left her job and trained to become an Allen Carr therapist, where she could help others break free from the addiction! She went on to expand in Australia, New Zealand, and just recently, the United States!
This conversation is like no other I have had about smoking. We all know smoking is bad for us and leads to premature death, but Natalie explains that for smokers, that is not what it is about. She provides great insight to the mind of the smoker, internal battles they face, and why they often feel their life will no longer be the same or enjoyable without smoking. This discussion isn't about the health detriments of smoking, but it is about the mental aspect of smoking. She says that addiction of any kind is 99% mental, and 1% physical. She changes the way you view the cigarette, and how you can gain your power back from it. She explains why Allen Carr's method is so different and successful than other methods. This method also comes with a money-back guarantee, so it is very low-risk to give it a try in hopes of breaking free from the bondage of smoking! Natalie is awesome and so relatable, and I know you will get great value from this conversation! Enjoy the talk!

Ep. 24: When I wanted to learn more about the nitric oxide as it relates to aging and disease, I did not realize I was consulting with the world's leading authority and expert, Dr. Nathan Bryan! Dr. Bryan is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. In addition, Dr. Bryan was actually the first person to describe "nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health!" He has spent 20 years in nitric oxide research, and he shares how the loss of nitric oxide production is recognized as the earliest event in the onset and progression of almost all diseases! The loss of nitric oxide can occur also due to stress, sugar diet, smoking, aging itself, diabetes, lack of exercise, and many other factors! Dr. Bryan says we are as old as our arteries, and discusses how changes can start taking place in childhood when kids eat a poor diet. He talks about his latest book, Functional Nitric Oxide Nutrition, which is all about what we should be eating, like a lot of green leafy vegetables. He also talks about big nitric oxide disruptors, such as the use of mouthwash and proton pump inhibitors, which an estimated 15 million Americans are taking on a daily basis for gastric reflux! These and other factors lead to loss of nitric oxide contributing to disease, loss of sexual function (he said erectile dysfunction is one of the earliest signs), and early death. Nitric oxide even plays a role in the outcome of COVID-19. Unbelievably intelligent man, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview him! He literally shares life-changing information!

His story speaks to the power of lifestyle changes and a strong will to live because 17 years later, he remains cancer free! Chris has his own podcast, Chris Beat Cancer, and he has made many appearances on television and radio shows, podcasts, and he was featured in the award-winning documentary film, The C Word.
In this episode, Chris shares his new book, Beat Cancer Daily: 365 Days of Inspiration, encouragement, and action steps to survive and thrive! He talks about his Beat Cancer Mindset, and how practicing gratitude and forgiveness are crucial to staying cancer-free. Chris inspires and empowers countless people to take control of their health and reverse disease through a radical transformation of their mindset, diet, and lifestyle!

He ignited his love for athletics by becoming a coach and an athlete again himself by becoming a Paralympian! He competed in the 2018 Paralympic games and is currently training for a spot on the 2022 US Paralympian Team for curling!

The 5-Minute NP Podcast, Episode 15: Marta Zaraska, International Best Selling Author joins me on this episode to discuss her findings on how we can "Grow Young," and it doesn't include superfoods and excessive exercise! Her book, Growing Young, has become an international best seller! Her book is backed by science, and has received some major endorsements, including Dan Buettner from the Blue Zones, and Joshua Becker, minimalist and author of The More Is Less! Marta shared her purpose for writing the book, "I wrote Growing Young out of the belief that in the deluge of reductionist wellness news, we've somehow lost the big picture, ignoring the things that matter MOST for longevity: relationships, emotions, and psyche. She discusses how modern day "miracle" therapies and pills won't work, and should actually be avoided, and why the mind-brain connection is so important to understand! This is such a great, informative interview, and I learned so much from it, and I know you will too.
