These medications have been incredibly successful at helping women lose weight, quiet food noise, and feel in control of their appetite. They have also had some other benefits such as lowering inflamamtion, improving joint pain, and clearing brain fog. There is also some evidence they decrease risks of certain cancers. With all of these benefits, some women may choose to stay on them long term while others, for a variety of reasons, want to transition off of them in time without losing all of their progress. In this episode, I cover what we need to test before, during, and after using GLP-1s to get optimal results that last.

There's so much debate on whether functional testing like the DUTCH test is helpful for women trying to sort out their hormone issues. I use it frequently, but like serum testing, it has its place and it's limitations. However, the biggest thing that burns me up is when a woman goes out of pocket for this test and then have so much info misinterpreted or merely just left on the table. This means you come away with way less value than you should have - I hate that! In this episode I talk about what I see most often missed or misunderstood on the DUTCH test.
If you've ever had a DUTCH test, have it in hand for this episode! And if you're thinking about getting one, listen to this first.

Some of the more frustrating symptoms of midlife hormone decline and perimenopause is stubborn fat loss, weight gain, and fat redistribution around the midsection. HRT is often part of what's promoted to manage these metabolic changes, and many women expect to lose weight when they start it. While replacing hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone can help with fat loss and muscle gain, some women will experience weight gain for a variety of reasons when they begin using hormones. In this episode I cover the five biggest reasons this happens and what you can do about it.

Most women underestimate the bizarre, surprising symptoms that can crop up during perimenopause — such as itchy ears, voice changes, and even unusual body odors. If you thought menopause was just hot flashes, sleep issues, night sweats, zero energy and weight gain, think again. In this episode, we'll unpack some of the lesser-known signs and symptoms that hormone shifts are taking a toll on your body — and the more burning question... just what the heck can we do about them?

Often, when symptoms or side effects arise on HRT, the immediate reaction is to adjust the dosage. In this Q&A episode, I cover what irregular bleeding, GI symptoms like nausea and joint pain might indicate when you're on HRT and options to feel better that go beyond just a bump up or step down of your dose.

Whether age, experience or tough times - sometimes you just "get something" in a way you didn't before. There are a few popular, Instagram-meme-worthy concepts that have taken on a deeper meaning for me lately. I'm sharing how I understand ideas like forgiveness, boundaries and the every popular "choose yourself" in this rather personal episode. I hope this helps if you're going through something really big or just the daily self love and kindness that we often struggle to do.

Magnesium is likely in your supplement regimen right now, as its benefits are widely known. However, many of us take one form, such as citrate or glycinate, only and miss out on other important forms of magnesium that benefit our vessels, heart, and energy production. As well, most of us, even with supplementation, might be dosing too low for our needs. In this episode, Wade Lightheart, co-founder of BIOptimizers joins me to talk about the creation of Magnesium Breakthrough and the science that sets it apart fom most magneisum spplements out there.

Women today are becoming more aware of the value of both strength training and HRT on their bone health. Most screening, though, takes place much later and often when osteoporosis and osteopenia have already set in. In this episode, I challenge the ideas that bone loss is only a symptom of osteoporosis, we simply need to take more calcium to build bone, and that HRT alone - or even strength training alone - are all we need to think about when it comes to protecting and rebuilding our bones. Other hormones like cortisol and thyroid, oxidative stress and inflammation, and other nutrients like protein, fiber, magnesium, and vitamin D are all crucial to address as well. Learn why we need to reconsider how and when we test for bone loss, how specifically we are lifting, and what we can eat to improve our bone health.

Most women in midlife feel exhausted, and fluctuating hormones certainly plays into that via impacting neurotransmitters, energy production and disrupting sleep from symptoms like night sweats. However, HRT is merely one piece of that puzzle. It's important to look at a bigger picture not just in terms of hormones and deficiencies but also how much this time of life and the transitions we go through impact our emotional well-being. It can be a rough transition, this episode will help.

Probiotic supplements abound, but is the latest, fancy-pants strain the answer? In this episode, I talk about how to think about using probitoics, what they can do and whether or not you need a supplement or can you get what you need from foods. I also cover dosages and strengths, gut testing and how probitoics help common conditions like leaky gut, constipation and even SIBO.

In this episode, I talk about using birth control instead of HRT during midlife. There are times when this option makes sense but it is important to know these hormones are different types, dosages, and come with different risk factors and are formulated for very different goals. Oftentimes they are a starting place instead of beginning HRT when a women enters perimenopause. It's important to know what your goals are during this phase of life, how birth control options may fit in and when they are clearly the wrong choice.

Testosterone for women is among the most over AND under prescribed hormones out there. Women in their 40s and 50s are suffering and struggling to get treatment OR they are being given dosages high enough to cause potentially irreversible side effects. On the other hand, women in their 20s and 30s are prescribed testosterone with little to no attention paid to diet, stress and exercise first. I cover the importance of thorough testing, how to target nutrition and lifestyle for better testosterone output and the best options, dosages and cadence for women if they are going to start taking testosterone. Share this one with a woman who needs it!

In this episode, I am asking a question I get daily in my practice from women taking HRT: do I need to be cycling my progesterone? Or is OK to just take it every day? How about estrogen, does that need to be cycled too? It's a good question and one that experts do not agree on. As I always say though, HRT can't be one size fits all and it's worth understanding why cycling might be better for you - or at least another option! I'm sure you have a friend with this same question, so be sure to forward this episode.

Trend alert: weighted vests. These low-weight vests are all the rage in the midlife/perimenopause space right now. The menopause experts say to wear these babies every day, all day, and for every exercise. The fitness experts say there is a whole lot of problems with wearing a weighted vest for long durations and with certain exercises. I break it all down and go over the most commonly touted studies on bone density and fat loss. I cover some times they definitely aren't a good idea and how to avoid the biggest mistakes if you do choose to use a weighted vest.

Nervous system regulation is all the rage and it is so important to so many symptoms and health conditions. When you have an overactive and highly sensitive system, it might not be enough to take a deep breath or trigger your vagus nerve with singing or cold water. Those tools are powerful and you should know how to use them but for many of us the ultimate root cause of mast cell activation, autoimmunity, chronic issues like long covid, POTS, etc. is deeper trauma that created a lack of safety and we need to address that before gut health, hormone balance, or other triggers can be safely dealt with. If you or someone you know is chemically sensitive, can’t tolerate many foods or supplements or feel like you are spinning your wheels with chasing inflammation or histamine problems, don’t miss this episode!

Whether you are cycling and have symptoms or are on HRT and having issues, the ratio of these two hormones can be a real indicator of issues like low progesterone, estrogen dominance or estrogen metabolism issues. You can calculate this ratio from values on your serum testing or urine testing such as the DUTCH test. In this episode, I talk about what this ratio should be, how to calculate it (units matter!), what you can glean from various types of testing (i.e. urine shows you something different than serum, both matter) and what to consider to feel better if your P:E2 ratio is off.

However, with so many new, compounded hormones easily available on the internet, you may be wondering if you should be taking oxytocin.

Part II of this two-part episode series on the "other stuff" about midlife. In this episode, I get into the tangible system I created to tackle the stuff that HRT doesn't fix — my 3G + 4R Perimenopause Process. There is both perspective and habits as part of this system to help you know what to do - and actually be able to do it! If you missed Part I, where I shared more of the somewhat ugly background of how hard this transition has been for me, you can listen to that here.

Personal episode alert….this one is a bit different than most. It’s not science based and there is no tangible system taught - BUT there is next week so stay tuned! This episode is simply me sharing the nitty-gritty, personal, exhausting, ugly, humbling, guilt ridden, heartbreaking experience that has been perimenopause for me the past 5 years. From this though something new and powerful was born and I wanted to be totally transparent because I felt so alone going through this and I hope no other women struggles the way I did.
Next episode will be the how to, the tangible tools to tackle the stuff that HRT doesn't fix. It's my 3G+4R Perimenopause Process, but this week is how I got there.

There is a huge divide on using compounded pharmacies vs. your standard local pharmacy. On one hand many things compounding is the only way you can get bioidentical hormone therapy and on the other hand there’s a ton of fear around using these seemingly “unregulated” facilities and formulas. As always, the truth is in the middle and I cover the myths about regulation, what the role of these types of formulas are and much more in this episode!

Endometriosis can be debilitating for women and not only is treatment somewhat hit and miss, many women go undiagnosed for years. In this episode I cover some new areas of research and potential root causes of endometriosis. As well, when it comes to hormones there is a shift away from focusing only on estrogen dominance towards local estrogen activity in endometriomas and progesterone resistance. This episode will give women a more holistic view on this condition as well as several new ways to think about treatment.

HIgh doses of naltrexone are used for certain addiction treatments, but lower and mid range doses have been shown to have hormonal, anti-inflammatory and weight loss benefits - with relatively few side effects for most women. In this episode I talk about using naltrexone with conditions such as Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune and how it can play into cravings and weight loss success. With all that in mind, it has uses in a variety of symptoms of midlife as well.

Oh, juicy one, right? While there are some that say they are all garbage and others that say they are the same as taking hormones, it's no wonder it’s a confusing topic. In this episode, I share how to think about most female hormone balance supplements: what the ingredients do, is there enough of anything to produce that effect in your product, and how to know what products may or may not help you.
I also created this FREE guide to help!

Candida is probably the thing women come most often with thinking that they have. Part of the reason is that the symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and sugar cravings are so common. In this episode, I cover sussing out if this is really behind your symptoms, testing (pros and cons) and how to work with both supplements and the candida diet. As well as the most important part: why do you have this opportunistic infection in the first place? Is it the microbiome, hormone shifts, blood sugar, etc? We always want to be solving that problem as well as clearing any candida infection if present.

Often referred to as simply really bad PMS, PMDD is really its own thing and can be much more severe and debilitating than the usual PMS symptoms - though it can include those things too such as bloating, changes in digestion, fatigue and cramps. It’s a complex issue and if you’re suffering from it, it’s wise to explore several facets such as inflammation, histamine, etc. as well as understanding how hormone fluctuations might be the biggest driver of this condition. I cover all of that in this episode, please share if you know a woman that needs this info!

Progesterone gets all the love for being a sleep helper but estrogen is really important too! So whether your hormones are low due to not ovulating for some reason in your 20s or 30s such as PCOS, stress, etc. or you’re in perimenopause or menopause, both of these hormones play a huge role in falling and staying asleep. In this episode, I cover exactly how estrogen and progesterone impact neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA as well as impact circadian rhythm, your vagus nerve and inflammation which all affect sleep.

Progesterone is often an absolute godsend making us feel calmer, less bonkers, able to sleep and simply like things are gonna be OK. It is an important part of an HRT regimen, yet some women do not feel much of a benefit from it and yet others feel mild to severe anxiety, irritability, insomnia or even panic from it. This episode talks about the reasons why you may not be tolerating progesterone and what you can do about it.

Aging is a part of life, but our cells don’t always complete their normal life cycle so well due to a host of factors in our modern world. When cells don’t go through a healthy life cycle process they become what are called “zombie cells” - nonfunctional and unhelpful but still sucking up resources from the healthy cells around them. This process of senolysis can be aided by key ingredients found in Neurohacker’s amazing product: Qualia Senolytic. Clear out those dead cells and see your brain, skin and body come back alive.

We talk a lot about how hormones and the gut are very interconnected and in this episode, I take a deeper dive into how the changes in estrogen and progesterone in midlife impact our microbiome diversity, the integrity of our gut lining and more. And it’s a mess (much like midlife) in that hormone shifts impact the microbiome and microbiome shifts impact hormones. But the good news is that gut health is an area where you can intervene and have big impacts in how you feel and your overall health.
Stay tuned for the next episode as well where I will be answering questions on hormones and digestion taken from my Facebook group!

It’s the time of year when your inbox is flooded with both the push to make sweeping big changes and “make this your year” AND make small changes to your habits for more success. There is truth in both of these approaches and in this episode I talk about how to utilize them both with a better understanding of when you need more grace and when you need more grit. As well as a fresh take on looking at what to do with those daily habit and weekly goals when you’ve had a really tough week and feel like you failed on both the short term and longer term goals.
Happy 2025!

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

NAD levels start to decline by up to 65% between ages 30 and 70 and this can lead to more signs of aging, less energy and worse recovery. Qualia NAD+ is formulated to target the entire process our cells undergo to make, use and then recycle NAD+ for optimal results that you can see and feel. With so many NAD boosting products out there, what sets Qualia NAD+ apart is that it uses three different precursors to support the various ways our cells make NAD+ and its very holistic formula supports this production pathway from start to finish with enzyme cofactors as well as raw materials.

Dr. Sara Naseri joins me on this episode to talk about the exciting, at home, affordable, easy to use, hemoglobin A1C testing her company QVin has developed that utilizes menstrual blood. Throughout this episode I just kept saying: why weren’t we always doing this??!! But the wait is over as QVin can send an FDA approved, CLIA certified and easy to collect test right to your door. H1C is a test we all need and may get pushback from our providers or our insurance about routinely checking it so it’s win, win, win, win and has some exciting prospects for future testing on other hormones and possibly even screening for conditions like endometriosis.

Castor oil packs have been around for a very long time but historically have been a bit messy and cumbersome, but Dr Marisol flipped that idea on its head with her Queen of the Thrones brand organic, easy to use castor oil packs. Did she make castor oil cool and sexy? Somehow, yes! Many of you know this brand as I’ve recommended it for years but finally I got Dr. Marisol on the show to talk about castor from energetics to practical use.
And Queen of the Thrones has some great holiday and Black Friday sales going on so check them out with this link!

Should ovarian health be considered a marker of longevity? Yes. Our ovarian production of adequate hormones impacts us on a daily basis including effects on cognition, energy, mood, sleep and metabolism. When our production of these hormones are low we can deal with cyclical symptoms and PMS, infertility and a more difficult struggle into perimenopause and beyond. In this episode I talk about the biggest impacts I see in my practice on our ovarian health and what we can do to improve our sex hormone output and balance whether you want to feel better, get pregnant or just optimize your health overall.

Dr. Zach is back to talk about something very cool: ZBiotics new probiotic product that turns sugar (sucrose) from your diet into fiber. Sounds like magic, right? Almost. This probiotic strain normally found in our gut and on our food has been engineered to produce an enzyme called levansucrase which will produce a unique fiber rarely found in our daily diets. All of this lends to better microbiome diversity and gut health. We cover how Sugar to Fiber works and how easy it is to add to your busy day on this episode.

In this Q&A episode I cover all manner of aspects of this soothing, helpful hormone. Progesterone can start to dip as early as our 30s creating more problems with mood, sleep and periods as the years go on, but even in our 20s we can experience low progesterone due to PCOS, stress and other reasons as well. I talk about how to naturally raise progesterone as well as how to know when to use herbs or HRT to support your progesterone levels.
I reference in this show a past progesterone Q&A from 2023, here is that show as this episode covers other aspects of progesterone as well:

Is it the baby blues? Exhaustion? Expected overwhelm with a new baby? Or is it something more worrisome? In this episode I talk about the hormonal changes postpartum that can lead to anxiety, depression and sadness and what to look out for, when to get help and simple suggestions for nutrition, exercise and supplements that can help. I also cover a lesser talked about mood issue for breastfeeding moms known as Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex. I also talk about how to be a good support person for a new mom beyond offering to hold the baby - but who doesn't want to hold a new baby?! I hope this show is helpful for partners, friends and family as well as new moms to please share!

A daily multi to cover your nutritional bases seems like a good idea right? Our soil is depleted, our life is depleting and many of us are dealing with some sort of chronic issue, making extra support something to think about. On the flipside, many are dealing with supplement fatigue and it’s worth talking about if a multi is worth it at this stage in your health and healing. As well, some women’s multis are severely lacking in what women need yet others are full of things you do not need. In this episode I talk about what to look for in a multi that that suits your hormones and health goals.
In this show I talk about my women’s multi that includes optimal doses of what women need for blood sugar balance, better energy, brain health, optimal aging and hormone balance. I put my balanced+beautiful multi on sale this weekend only with code BEAUTIFUL15 at checkout.

If you’ve ever googled a troublesome symptom, then I’m sure you’re getting fed ads for a supplement to fix it. I see it every day posted on social media as people crowd source for solutions or I’m asked on a call with a patient: should I take X for my Y? They’ve heard it’s good for hair loss, weight loss, hot flashes, brain health, energy, etc. so they are wondering if it will work for them, makes sense right?
In this episode I talk about why we need to know why. We need to know WHY our hair is falling out or we are tired in order to choose supplements, protocols and procedures that might help. Most of the time, if a supplement isn’t effective it’s also likely harmless but it can be a waste of time and money to be taking things that don’t address your why. Other times a particular supplement is the absolute wrong thing for your why, yet you have no idea. Still other times you have a clear why for your symptoms based on testing or working with a provider but in the sea of products you’re unsure which one is best for you.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Collagen is not a new supplement but there are new collagen products on the market daily and most every woman I talk to is taking collagen or feels she should be. It’s generally a scoop added to their morning coffee or post-workout shake in hopes of better joints, healthier hair and glowing skin. Most women aren’t aware however that joints need different collagen support than our hair so it’s important we know why we want to take collagen and then to be sure our supplement is doing just that. In this episode I talk about the difference between collagen and collagen peptides, what type of collagen is needed for hair vs. joints and how you can dose your collagen to get the results you’re after.

You’re seeing ads pop all over your phone and social media feeds for “natural ozempic”. Supplements that are said to work just like GLP-1 agonist medications, but is this true? In this episode I cover the most commonly marketed products to boost GLP-1: berberine, akkermansia and other GLP-1 probiotic blends and sodium-butyrate. I cover how these compounds work, how they impact GLP-1 and if the data holds up on these claims that they are the same as medications like Ozempic.
In this show I reference a couple of past episode of the Dr Brooke Show: Dr Brooke Show #373 Akkermansia: Hope or Hype
Dr Brooke Show #341 All About GLP-1 Meds
As well, here are the products mentioned as well that I use in my practice:
Butryate product: Enterovite

What test is the most accurate assessment of your blood sugar, insulin resistance or glucose variability? I cover the lab testing that you would get from your doctor: fasting glucose and Hemoglobin A1C as the most common ones, as well as Fructosamine and Glycomark. As well testing you might not be getting that you could easily request such as fasting insulin or C-Peptide. And there is testing you likely have like LDH that you didn’t know was related to blood sugar levels. Lastly, how does at home monitoring play in for you in terms of using a glucometer or a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).
Which test is best? I cover what these tests tell you, why it’s key to know what you’re looking for, what might be covered by insurance and where you fall on the blood sugar problem spectrum: looking for optimal health and prevention vs. prediabetic or overt insulin resistance.
And the newer question we need to be asking: is it just high blood sugar we need to worry about or is glucose variability where it’s at?

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times.

Recently, I had that experience we’re all looking for: the satisfaction of seeing that hard work we put in on ourselves show up in a very real way in my life. I have explained the 5 Different Stress Responses in an episode from spring 2023 and last week in spring of 2024 I saw my understanding of this really kick into action - and it was brilliant! I saw my traumatic stress response of fawning in full force play out before my eyes and because of knowing these various types of stress responses and what triggers them I was able to not go too far down that road, resolve the stress in my body and make a better choice with my stress response. A choice that left me more empowered, able to be more gentle on myself and move forward in a productive way - and you can learn this too!
Understanding these various stress responses is key in making cha+nge to how stress impacts us and this goes far beyond traditional ideas of “stress management” - these are stress skills. Skills that will actually change how you respond to and experience stress - and that helps all of your hormones!

NAD supplements are all the rage in the anti-aging and longevity community, but just how effective are they? As well, if you compare various products there are a variety of ingredients and you might be wondering which are the most effective. I wanted to invite Dr. Gregory Kelly, ND from Neurohacker Collective on the show to take a deep dive into how boosting NAD levels is helpful for us in healing and aging as well as to really look at these supplements and understand how ingredients like NMN, NR and vitamin B3 perform in these NAD boosting supplements. We covered how well these absorbed, when to consider dosing these nutrients, what to look for in your NAD boosting products and how to know if taking them translates to you feeling and aging better. It was a great discussion!
Neurohacker is a long time partner of the Dr. Brooke Show so of course I also wanted Dr. Kelly to take an in depth look at their NAD+ product (the one I take!) that he helped formulate so we covered this formula as well!

You may have heard lately that it’s not a “lower metabolism” that causes weight gain and more body fat around the middle during midlife. While this may be what research is showing us as not a mechanism, many of us have found our pants are indeed not fitting so great so what IS causing the weight gain? Is it hormone changes or slack habits? Is it something we need to take HRT to get on top of? What exactly will the popular fitness advice of eating enough protein and lifting weights really do for our mid-life bodies? I cover exactly what the shifts in hormones do to your motivation, mood and metabolism in this episode as well as the one thing NO ONE is talking about…and it’s not really solved by taking hormones or strength training.
Tune in and please share this with a woman who needs this info!

Encore Episode! This is a dicey subject for sure and I’m certain it will have a lot of you rethinking your supplement regimen. Iodine is most often used to improve thyroid or breast health but it’s important to understand the whole story about how these recommendations came about and why more iodine can actually be bad for both.
Iodine is an essential nutrient that we absolutely need for thyroid function as well as other systems in our bodies, HOWEVER, it’s a Golidlock’s nutrient if there ever was one. When you look at how our bodies manage iodine and what our actual need for this unique trace mineral is you can see that we need to be a bit more careful with higher doses of iodine. This episode explains exactly why we need enough and not too much (and of course what the doses are that is just enough for general health, thyroid, pregnancy, etc.), what research shows us in terms of the fall out of too much iodine (hint: oxidative stress, thyroid problems and a rise in autoimmunity) and when to consider lowering iodine intake to see if your thyroid and breast health improves. I also cover how to assess and test for iodine status and some real problems with the rationale used by high iodine advocates in the health space.

Covered a whole lot of ground on this episode! I love these Q&A shows because I can get into so many topics. On this one I talk about what to do when you’re getting repeatedly sick (hello 2024!) both to treat a cold/flu and to get sick less often. I also talk about what symptoms in your luteal phase indicate low progesterone and how to address various “types of PCOS” and why I don’t totally love those categories. I also cover what to do when you’re lifting and feeling like you’re gaining weight - what it means and what you can change if that’s not the goal!

I am thrilled to have KION founder Angelo Keely back on the Dr. Brooke Show to discuss some powerful new research on amino acids. It’s kinda funny that protein is something I talk about allllll the time on the show and amino acids are not new supplements by any means BUT new research helps us understand just how powerful this simple supplement can be. And we discuss some unique ways to use them in order to harness their power even more.
In this episode we talk about a new ISSN statement that shows a 6X benefit of amino acids alone vs. a protein powder. Which is not only fascinating but also amazing in that so many of you struggle to find a protein powder that works for you! Angelo and I cover the findings of this paper as well as some powerful ways to use amino acids throughout your day - including with meals which is brand new info so you’ll want to check this episode out!
Get your KION essential amino acid blend with 20% off subscription orders and 10% off one time orders with this link or at getkion.com/bettereveryday!
If you missed my last interview with Angelo you can hear that here as well as these two other episodes referenced in the show:

If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how?

Encore for this amazing episode because even if you never have a sip of wine this interview is fascinating! Zack is a wealth of knowledge about the microbiome as well as how to “teach” a favorable, safe bacteria that’s already in our gut how to metabolize a breakdown product of alcohol through genetic modification. It sounds like science fiction - and it sounds scary. I mean GMO right?? But it turns out how bacteria are modified is very different than modifying plants in our food source for a couple of reasons making this FDA regulated product very safe and without immune or inflammatory consequences that could come from changing the food we eat (i.e. GMO soy or hybridized wheat).
And this product is very effective! I share with Zack in the interview how skeptical I was of ZBiotic having any effect on how I felt the next day after having a glass of wine. Truth be told it was like it never happened. So I was thrilled to have Zack on the show to talk about how this product works and how they created it.

We all know the downsides of alcohol, but it is still something many decide to enjoy on occasion. Most of us also notice that especially as we get into our 40s and beyond that one glass of wine feels like way more than a glass the next day. If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how? The yuck the day after having alcohol is due to a buildup of acetaldehyde (a byproduct of alcohol metabolism). ZBiotics is a probiotic formula that helps you break down acetaldehyde in the gut so you can have a great workout and a great day even after a drink the night before.

WHIP: walking, heavy weights, intensity and plyometrics. That’s my system for the four things we need to have covered with our training program as women. This system becomes more important with every passing year - and for a variety of reasons, it can be harder and harder to do! It may be finding the time, lack of know-how or fear of injury, waning motivation or simply not understanding the benefits these four aspects give us.
I cover all of that in this episode including how to know if your weighs are “heavy enough” and a phased approach to incorporating plyometrics - and how that move in particular can really enhance our livelihood as we age. It’s all about power and agility and we need that more and more yet many of us are lacking this aspect from our training. Share this episode with a woman who needs it!

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Can we all believe it’s been 5 years since this book came out??? I can’t! She was a labor of love and years of experience that we attempted to distill into a simple framework that didn’t create more stress and overwhelm. It also had to be one that honored all of our hormones lest we follow one a bit of advice for one hormone that throws another hormone out of whack…and it had to be customizable right down to the workouts. But I think we did it! What I wanted to do in this episode is revisit those 5 Habits from the book and see how they hold up all these years later and share what I’d change if I wrote the book today.

Meet your new personal trainer: CoPilot! Strength training is ALWAYS a part of the treatment plan in my office but if you aren’t working with me directly it can be hard to find the right person to be your coach and trainer and let’s be real, personal training is traditionally quite expensive. Maybe you’ve explored a program online but it feels so cookie cutter or you don’t want to be on a zoom class and honestly, online training has a lot of drawbacks compared to working with someone one on one.
Until now, I didn’t have a lot of great solutions - especially if you are new to lifting - which is why I was so thrilled to find the CoPilot App. First, it’s not just an app because you are actually working with a real, life person and the tech that allows them to interact with you as they would in real life is kinda amazing. And it’s very affordable!
I am so happy to have one of the creators of CoPilot, Matt Spettel on the show to share how and why they created this program AND my own coach/trainer, Kathryn! You’ll hear from both of them about what it’s like to work with the CoPilot app and coaches.

Anxiety is a complicated issue and in various episodes I’ve discussed how the gut plays into mood, stress and anxiety as well as different types of stress responses and stress management skills. In this episode however, I’m going to dive a bit deeper just into how cortisol plays into anxiety and fear - and it’s a lot more complicated than “high cortisol makes you feel stressed and anxious”. Cortisol metabolism, inflammation and the cortisol awakening response (which indicates our ability to recover from stress) all come into play and I cover that all as well as also how we assess these various aspects and which supplements and lifestyle habits will help.

When it comes to taking hormones, attention often goes to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone but there are two other hormones to consider: dhea and pregnenolone. These are usually thought of as “precursor hormones” that can be taken and then turned into estrogen and testosterone - and they can be. However, they both have actions and benefits of their own specifically with regards to comes to memory, mood and energy/stamina so they may have a place in your regimen. They do though convert to other hormones so testing is important and side effects can certainly arise.

Unlike most health conditions for women which have multiple layers of screening and various tests to assess risks and progression, breast health is generally a yearly screening mammogram with little to no conversation about other ways we can improve the health of breast tissue and what other markers beyond a mammogram tell us our risk for breast cancer and generally the state of affairs in our breasts.
In this episode I talk about how to get a much broader view of your beast health and risk using tests for hormone balance vs. just levels of hormones, oxidative stress markers and even how your circadian timing and cortisol impact your breast health and breast cancer risk. There is so much you can do for your breast health! I hope this episode leaves you very empowered to get that info and take some lifestyle steps that make a huge difference and understand how targeted supplements can help when you know exactly what you need to shift things more favorably for your needs.

In this episode I have an amazing conversation with Dr. Karin Luise an expert in change and transformation. We talk a lot about becoming better after loss including after losing relationships such as a marriage. She’s gone through a very public divorce and ultimately wanted to help women go through the evolution of ourselves as our identity changes from in a partnership (friendship, business partnership or marriage) to on our own. We also talk about spiritual awakenings when you’ve come from a religious background where things can get a little messy as you grow and expand your spiritual practices. It’s a juicy one and covers a lot of ground I’ve not discussed in previous shows.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

It’s the annual Thanksgiving episode! In this episode I talk about all the “big feelings” that can come up during this holidays that can not only derail our enjoyment but they can shed light on old hurts or disappointments that need to be healed, past traumas can get triggered and our quest for perfection with this season that can be simply too much to live up to - especially when we have to factor in all the other family members or other people that are part of our holidays. I also talk about how while we have plenty of data to support a gratitude practice being overall a very positive habit there are times when gratitude may not work well for us. When we are overwhelmed or burnt out, gratitude can instead of helping lead us to feeling guilty and have us skipping over processing important but often hard emotions. I hope this episode helps you have much happier holidays!

My friend and colleague Steph Gruenke, formerly with Whole30 and WholeMamas joins me to talk about a more sane way to approach getting back to your health and fitness during postpartum. As my OB said to me once, “Our bodies are forever changed by our babies” it’s so important to understand how to approach this new phase through a lens of what’s new, what’s shifted and how can we honor all of our new priorities, schedules and goals in the best way with a balance of grace and grit. It’s all about doing more of what you can and letting go of what you can’t. It’s a wild ride and I hope this conversation helps.

We all know the downsides of alcohol, but it is still something many decide to enjoy on occasion. Most of us also notice that especially as we get into our 40s and beyond that one glass of wine feels like way more than a glass the next day. If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how? The yuck the day after having alcohol is due to a buildup of acetaldehyde (a byproduct of alcohol metabolism). ZBiotics is a probiotic formula that helps you break down acetaldehyde in the gut so you can have a great workout and a great day even after a drink the night before.

You know melatonin as the sleep hormone but it does so very much more than that. In this episode I’ll cover the many actions of melatonin because it’s a very interesting hormone and antioxidant. While it’s so powerful and has clear benefits and a great safety profile, should everyone run out and grab a bottle? I will get into dosing, side effects, who should avoid it and how to consider whether something that seems to be good for everything (such as melatonin) will be beneficial for you. As well, I will give you plenty of lifestyle considerations to boost your own production of melatonin.

In this episode I tackle a few very big questions from you all when it comes to stress. The bulk of all of our concerns come down to something along the lines of: how do I find the time, money and energy to take care of myself and my family/friends/loved ones? With so much information about stress and so much “how to '' available to us for meal prep, various hormone and sleep hacks, workout tips, here we are: despite all our stress management tools we are still very stressed about how to get it all done and find some joy in doing it.
In this episode and the upcoming #359, I dig into the why behind us still feeling so stressed, how mindfulness actually works, where we have control and how to intervene and how to create a compass to guide the choices that stress you out.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones, and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety, or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Grab your notebooks, this episode is jam packed with information that will help you make sense of when to use prebiotics vs. probiotics, how antibiotics and probiotics differ in efficacy of treating common gut infections like H.Pylori and if you should really take antibiotics and probiotics together. Most importantly this episode will give you a roadmap for how to think about utilizing these various options when one isn’t working well for you right now. As well I get into stomach acid, or HCL, and how to figure out what dose is best for this widely available supplement.

We all know the downsides of alcohol, but it is still something many decide to enjoy on occasion. Most of us also notice that especially as we get into our 40s and beyond that one glass of wine feels like way more than a glass the next day. If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how? The yuck the day after having alcohol is due to a buildup of acetaldehyde (a byproduct of alcohol metabolism). ZBiotics is a probiotic formula that helps you break down acetaldehyde in the gut so you can have a great workout and a great day even after a drink the night before.

Root cause medicine is all the rage if you follow any functional medicine experts and while that is an important part of treating you as a whole, root causes are not the only thing we need to think about. My guest on this episode, functional nutritionist Andrea Nakayama, so beautifully talks about the roots but also the branches, the various systems and terrains of our body and lifestyles. She also shares the developing science of omics, the reason some of us react differently to foods, medicines, supplements, viruses, etc. than someone else. Andrea also shares much of her journey with her own health as well as the loss of her husband and how her experiences with autoimmunity and her husband’s cancer have shaped the way she sees functional medicine and health.

Aging is a part of life, but our cells don’t always complete their normal life cycle so well due to a host of factors in our modern world. When cells don’t go through a healthy life cycle process they become what are called “zombie cells” - nonfunctional and unhelpful but still sucking up resources from the healthy cells around them. This process of senolysis can be aided by key ingredients found in Neurohacker’s amazing product: Qualia Senolytic. Clear out those dead cells and see your brain, skin and body come back alive.

Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t fully or adequately address their needs (prenatals that have missing ingredients or nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.
I was thrilled to have the time to talk with Julie Saway, one of the founders of Needed about all of these issues and how they were able to formulate better products for moms - truly the products I wished I had when I was in this amazing phase of life!

Fall is in the air and often with a change of season or the end of summer fun we feel the need to “get back on track” or hit restart. Some of you may also be feeling like you’ve been meaning to get started for a long time now but just can’t quite make it happen. This is usually the time when we want to grab a quick fix or a 30 day plan or do a juice fast or a detox. All of these things can be helpful but they can also be overwhelming or not quite what you need for the longhaul. Let’s face it, we’ve all done a lot of 30 day plans! In this episode I go over the easiest ways to get started or get started again, the habits that matter the most and small, low effort shifts you can make for often better results than a full diet and lifestyle overhaul.

Focusing on simply “reducing your stress” can end up leaving us feeling more stressed out because the truth is, there are some stresses you can’t just opt out of, stop or reduce. I talk a lot about those in various episodes of the show, but this episode is about stresses you CAN do something about. Sometimes it’s about getting help or gaining better stress skills to manage the stresses that you can’t totally get rid of, but many things that are stressing you out may not be things you think of as stress at all. Things like infections, oxidative stress, blood sugar imbalances, hormone disruptors or nutrient deficiencies. In this show I break down a number of stresses we can absolutely take off your plate and they don’t involve a housekeeper, nanny or personal assistant. They are all within your physiology and we can resolve or much better manage all of them.

I try not to play favorites with my episodes, but this is going down as one of my favorite episodes to record because I have found this framework so profoundly helpful. On this show I talk about letting go of the idea of striking a balance in life because this notion is nonsense and leave us always stressed and guilty because the truth is every day one are of your life will demand more of your time and attention. Sick kid? Deadline? Going through a divorce? Up for a promotion? Training for an event or managing a flare up in your health? You have to be able to direct your resources where they are needed BUT to avoid the guilt of neglecting one area of your life for too long you have to have a system in place with checks and balances so that everything that matters to you gets your care when it’s needed and can sit on the back burner when something else needs your focus. The idea of the four burners is what I share in this episode and it’s the antidote to the stress of “balance”. Please share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it!

Low back pain can be so disruptive to your training, your sleep and your hormones given that inflammation from nagging injuries can impact hormones across the board. One of the key aspects of treating this condition is knowing where you need to be stronger and where you need less focus on strength and more on flexibility. Megan covers all that as well as her favorite - and least favorite - core strengthening exercises if you’re dealing with low back pain. We talk as well about changes during perimenopause and menopause that impact joint health and injury healing.

Even if you never have a sip of wine this interview is fascinating! Zack is a wealth of knowledge about the microbiome as well as how to “teach” a favorable, safe bacteria that’s already in our gut how to metabolize a breakdown product of alcohol through genetic modification. It sounds like science fiction - and it sounds scary. I mean GMO right?? But it turns out how bacteria are modified is very different than modifying plants in our food source for a couple of reasons making this FDA regulated product very safe and without immune or inflammatory consequences that could come from changing the food we eat (i.e. GMO soy or hybridized wheat).
And this product is very effective! I share with Zack in the interview how skeptical I was of ZBiotic having any effect on how I felt the next day after having a glass of wine. Truth be told it was like it never happened. So I was thrilled to have Zack on the show to talk about how this product works and how they created it.

I often say if you can’t fix sleep problems, you can’t fix any hormone problems. Sleep comes up in a lot of my podcast episodes for that reason! However on this episode I’m joined by Dr. Valerie Cacho to talk about several things I have covered less often on the show including sleep studies, sleep apnea and other medical issues that can impact our sleep. We touch on various types of sleep studies as well so you can know if you’re really being evaluated the way you need to for your unique sleep issues.
Learn more about Dr. Val and her company Sleephoria which focuses on helping women sleep better so they can be engaged, confident and supported in their wellbeing.

This episode is a Dr. Brooke Show Greatest Hits! It was one of the most downloaded episodes of 2023 so if you missed it, now's your chance. If you loved it, enjoy all the new nuggest of wisdom you'll catch this time around.
Get your notebooks out cuz this episode is jam packed with info about one of my favorite topics that always deserves more attention and unpacking: protein. I’m joined by founder of KION, Angelo Keely and expert in all things amino acids. We discuss precisely why protein is so foundational for aging and metabolism and the unique considerations for women.
We also make sense of the myriad of powered options you have from protein shakes to collagen peptides to branch chain amino acids, as well as what you need to know about animal vs. plant protein sources - and it's not just about a complete vs. an incomplete protein! Angelo also shares how we can use a complete amino acid blend to up our daily protein intake, support our workouts and a ton of other benefits from supporting mood, balancing hormones and helping with cravings.
This is an episode to tune into and share! The protein conversation is rife with myths, fears and a whole lot of marketing.

I put a call out for podcast questions in my free Facebook group (join us here) and there were so many on HRT specifically that I did an entire episode on it. I cover delivery methods, what bioidentical HRT actually means (hint: it is not the same as compounded and they do not have to come from a functional doc), how to know when your dose is just right and when is the ideal time to start and stop HRT. As well, I talk about what your other options are besides HRT or in addition to HRT. Women do not have to choose one or the other, in fact, many herbs and nutrients will actually improve your experience on HRT - especially those that support hormone metabolism and gut health. It’s a big episode, please share it with another woman that needs clarification around this confusing topic!

We all know the downsides of alcohol, but it is still something many decide to enjoy on occasion. Most of us also notice that especially as we get into our 40s and beyond that one glass of wine feels like way more than a glass the next day. If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how? The yuck the day after having alcohol is due to a buildup of acetaldehyde (a byproduct of alcohol metabolism). ZBiotics is a probiotic formula that helps you break down acetaldehyde in the gut so you can have a great workout and a great day even after a drink the night before. Click here to save 15% off ZBiotics. Oh, and they do have a money back guarantee, so why not?

Oh if I had a dollar….honestly…I hear this literally every single day. I hear is so often that I decided to dedicate an entire episode to it! So many of you have a body comp or weight loss goal - this applies to working on a chronic health issue too - and you feel like you’re doing so much and when you describe your efforts you can’t understand why, for all the energy, time and money you’re spending, you aren’t getting better results. Most of us feel like we are doing everything right and can feel frustrated or confused why things aren’t improving as quickly or as profoundly as we want them to. In this episode, I break down the most common reasons “doing all the right things” isn’t working and what to do instead.

Originally intended to treat type II diabetes, these injectable drugs are now widely available (and quite pricey) as medications for weight loss - and they do produce weight loss! However, because these medications work on hormones that are secreted from the digestive tract, they of course have a host of gastric side effects that can make them unpleasant but again effective. When you look a bit closer though at the quality of the weight loss we see it isn’t such a magic bullet after all. This means we are losing as much muscle as body fat, in some cases more and that’s about the last thing we want - especially as we get into our 40s. In this episode I talk about how these medications work, what can be done to counter this unwanted consequence or what to consider if you’re thinking about taking these meds. As well, I talk about a few other effects of these meds that we need to keep an eye on such as lowering HRV and raising resting heart rate. These meds are definitely an options for a certain population but with women everywhere flocking to docs for GLP1 agonist prescriptions, it’s important to see past the number on the scale and understand what’s happening with your physiology. Finally, if these meds are right for you or you’re already on them, I cover the importance of having an exit strategy or next steps in mind for when you come off them as we clearly see weight regain when these meds are stopped. It’s a big episode!

With more and more of my patients testing positive for mold derived mycotoxins in my practice, I wanted to welcome back to the show environmental professional Michael Schrantz to answer specific questions about how to take the next steps. When we find mycotoxins on a urine test in my practice, the next step is trying to figure out where the mold is coming from in the patient’s environment. This is often when things get very overwhelming! And potentially, very expensive.
With the wide variety of mold testing you can do in your home, how do you know what to trust? Which test is best? Should you even open this can of worms that may involve remediation of your home which is emotionally and financially taxing? I trust Michael and really wanted to have him back on the show to specifically answer testing on what tests are the most accurate and your next best steps to investigate mold sources in your home.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Britt’s work on Instagram and I’m so glad I did because after I devoured her book (The Science of Stuck, Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward) in a day, I asked her to be on the show! We’ve all felt stuck at one time or another and it can leave us asking disempowering questions like “what's wrong with me” or “why can’t I do what I need to do” that leave us more stuck and anxious than we already were! In this episode, Britt (a licensed neuropsychotherapist) helps us ask the right questions to produce forward progress, get moving with “micro-yeses” and to honor and understand ourselves better - turns out we may be stuck because somehow we feel it’s the safe place to be. I shared my story of being super stuck about a year ago and how I fell precisely into this trap of doing a lot of the wrong things to get unstuck and how I’m using these tools to keep moving forward.

This is a dicey episode for sure and I’m certain it will have a lot of you rethinking your supplement regimen. Iodine is most often used to improve thyroid or breast health but it’s important to understand the whole story about how these recommendations came about and why more iodine can actually be bad for both.
Iodine is an essential nutrient that we absolutely need for thyroid function as well as other systems in our bodies, HOWEVER, it’s a Golidlock’s nutrient if there ever was one. When you look at how our bodies manage iodine and what our actual need for this unique trace mineral is you can see that we need to be a bit more careful with higher doses of iodine. This episode explains exactly why we need enough and not too much (and of course what the doses are that is just enough for general health, thyroid, pregnancy, etc.), what research shows us in terms of the fall out of too much iodine (hint: oxidative stress, thyroid problems and a rise in autoimmunity) and when to consider lowering iodine intake to see if your thyroid and breast health improves. I also cover how to assess and test for iodine status and some real problems with the rationale used by high iodine advocates in the health space.

With Marth’s recent Sports Illustrated cover, the internet is ablaze with opinions on women, beauty standards and how we should look in a bathing suit in our 80s. Much of this unrealistic standard of beauty is not now, like not new at all, but what was interesting to me is that most of the comments about this cover shoot were from women. Whether you’re in the “she looks amazing for her age” camp or the “this is absurd, no woman in their 80s would look like this without a lot of money and intervention” camp, this episode will give you a LOT more to think about.
Aging is a dicey subject for women. We feel like we are obligated to look as young as possible for as long as possible and we are also wondering where our line in the sand is about aging naturally: a little botox but not going under the knife? Dying our hair but no fillers? There is more to aging than deciding if we do it au natural or not and I think the most important thing about this pic of Martha is what it stirs up in us- and that can give us a whole lot of insight into what we need to unpack to actually “age gracefully”. Share this episode with a woman who would be helped by this conversation! We need a new approach to aging and I hope this episode helps us find that soft spot in the middle between pressure to look younger and grace to age in a way that feels just right for you.

That’s a tough question, right? It can be tricky to know if you need to give yourself grace or a kick in the pants. It can be especially tricky if you have ever pushed yourself too hard. We are experiencing a real push back to hustle culture and the idea of #noexcuses and this is a really good thing. But sometimes we do need to push ourselves to get a workout in or to finish that task and with all our internal chatter and conditioning it can be hard to know when you’re treating yourself with respect and listening to your body and when you’re making an excuse that really doesn’t serve you.
In this episode I talk about tried and true tools that will help you know when to push and when to rest, when to hustle and when to give yourself grace. Share this with a woman who needs this!

Oh my do I open a can of worms on this episode…..but it’s an important topic for many reasons. We do not all need all the things all the time and we do want our regimen to change with our changes needs in most instances. And we can’t expect a supplement to always get us out of hot water if we continue with habits that don’t work for us.
However, a popular IG account made a reel saying that your body can heal completely without the use of any supplemental support ever, ever. Worse, the tone of the video seemed to imply that if you are relying on a supplement or medication as part of your healing then you aren’t really doing all the necessary work. I call BS. Total and utter BS.
First, there are situations such as anemia or certain infections as examples where a medication or supplement I think are very, very important as part of healing. Next, there are countless examples of a supplement providing assistance to help you through a tough or challenging health condition such as autoimmunity or a period of ongoing stress - or certainly for female hormone issues like PCOS, endometriosis or perimenopause. The list goes on and I cover instances where an intervention with a medication or supplement may be exactly the right thing and other times when you can likely do it without.
But most importantly with this episode I wanted to clear up any notion that you are in any way weak or not doing enough for yourself if you have decided it’s best for you to utilize a medication or supplement that makes sense for your unique situation. It just isn’t always possible for all of us to remove all barriers to healing while we aim to live our lives and uphold our many obligations, and I wanted to be sure someone tells you that’s absolutely OK. LIkely we are all doing our very best right now so no judgment needed for you to do whatever is best for you.

This was a really fun episode! Sugaring is a unique hair removal process that tends to have way less pain and skin irritation compared with traditional waxing. Historically though, you had to go to a spa to have it done but with Sugar Sugar Wax you can do it at home! This product is just so cool because you can use it anywhere on your body, it’s organic, it’s biodegradable and it’s compostable. And perhaps most importantly, once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy to use and bonus: not messy at all!.
I’m really in love with this and I have to say, I was very, very skeptical because my skin reacts horribly to waxing. There was a bit of a learning curve but it wasn’t steep AT ALL and Sugar Sugar Wax has incredible customer service to help you through any number of issues you have with the product. I was quickly sold so I reached out to Salome to come on the show and share the wonders of Sugar Sugar Wax.

I’m so excited to welcome back fellow ND, Dr. Sara Defrancesco to talk all about IBS: irritable bowel syndrome. If you’ve ever struggled with this issue only to be met with an elimination diet you won’t want to miss this episode. Elimination diets can be helpful in the short term and can help you fine tune your triggers but a much bigger impact can be made with tending to the microbiome, clearing up gut infections, supporting your immune system and more. Dr. Defrancesca is a wealth of information on gut health and I’m so grateful to have her back to take a deeper dive into IBS.
Check out her Freedom From IBS program here.

In this episode I give you the rundown on ten different hormones that directly impact metabolism or they profoundly impact appetite and cravings. With the internet ablaze with the ongoing argument of: hormones don’t matter, only calories in/calories out matter vs. the “no all you need to do to lose weight is balance your hormones”, I’m sure you’re confused and worse you may feel lazy or shamed for wondering if your hormones are to blame.
I hope this episode helps you understand that both camps are right and both are wrong and most importantly, your hormones do influence behavior and metabolism directly so YOU are not wrong nor to blame here.
Metabolism alone is insanely complicated and that’s made more complex by female hormone fluctuations week to week or even day to day and certainly decade to decade. Add to that disagreement between medical professionals for how to best assess hormone dysfunction vs. overt hormone disease and compound it all by the effect hormones have on your ability to stick to any plan given how much they influence energy, appetite and cravings and we’ve got a lot to unpack.
All that said, this episode wraps up with super simple advice that will support all 10 hormones on the list AND will help you balance that calories in/calories out equation in a way you can better adhere to.

This episode is a fascinating interview with fellow ND and Bastyr graduate, Dr. NIck Bitz who is now part of product formulation at Neurohacker. We talked about my current favorite nootropic product Qualiamind BUT also we talked about the emerging concepts of aging. Nick does a fantastic job of explaining what exactly is cellular aging and what are the hallmarks of this process. We talk about zombie-like cells that are known as “senescent” cells that can’t quite complete their life cycle and rope other cells into this unhelpful state. New research on aging points towards a few key compounds found in plants known as senolytics that will help clear up these senescent cells. As well, Dr. Bitz and I share our favorite senolytic lifestyle and nutrition habits as well to help us all age better. We wrap up the interview with exactly how to dose these senolytic compounds and supplements, which is unlike any vitamin you’ve ever taken so be sure to tune into this one!

This episode is a bit ranty, which is not usually my style! But I just had to say a few things about social media and what’s going on out there with experts because it hurts my heart (and my head) for you all. I wish I had an answer of how to make this medium a better place for nuance and thoughtful discussion but it’s just not. Yet, we all turn to social media for information, for solutions to our problems and in search of ways to feel better so I felt it important to address this issue on the podcast. I hope this episode is helpful if for nothing else that for me to say a big “I’m sorry that it’s like this and I hope most of us are trying to do better for you all.” Social media started as a place to connect and share and I hope somehow we can get back to that.

To get more willpower and discipline you have to understand how they work and to appreciate they are a finite resource. This means that if you’re low on willpower it’s not because you are weak it’s because you need to find ways to preserve willpower and ways to build your reserves of discipline. So many of us know a lot of what we need to be doing more of or less of, yet we struggle to stick with things that help us and skip things that don’t make us feel great. In this episode I teach you how to harness willpower, stop your discipline leaks and quick simple things to build up more willpower so you can more easily do what works for you.

NYTimes best selling author Dr. Izabella Wentz is on the show to dig into her new book that is all about adrenal health. We get into the misnomer and myth around “adrenal fatigue” discussing what it is and what it isn’t. As well she talks in depth about a real passion of mine which is setting the record straight that cortisol isn’t all bad and stress is inevitable, so why does all this stress have us feeling tired and with a host of hormone symptoms? And most importantly what we can do to build more resilience to stress and what we can do to heal from chronic stress that may already have us feeling burnt out.

This episode is juicy! So many great questions from you all about all things progesterone and I was able to cover so many aspects of this “everything is gonna be OK hormone”. Our progesterone levels start declining in our mid 30s and we feel all sorts of symptoms from this including anxiety, irregular cycles, worsening PMS, anxiety, depression and insomnia. This of course worsens during our 40s, under high stress, aren’t ovulating due to PCOS or HA or as we get into perimenopause. In this episode I cover the difference between low progesterone and unbalanced estrogen and progesterone (known as estrogen dominance), how to support your progesterone (i.e. can you do it with food, what supplements help, etc.), various considerations for using progesterone as part of HRT and even the less common occurrence of progesterone sensitivity.

I’ve mentioned EMDR on several episodes when I’ve spoken of stress and trauma as it’s been one of the biggest needle movers for myself and my patients when it comes to behavior change. However, it’s often hard to find an EMDR practitioner in your location, that has a convenient time to see you or that’s in your budget -I certainly struggled to find someone and I know many of you have too! Enter Virtual EMDR that can be done from your laptop at any time that’s convenient for you. And most helpful in my opinion is that you can go to it when you’re in th thick of a tough emotion or a trigger, in real time and process it right then and there. I found this resource online (by mistake actually, I share the story on this episode) and have been so helped by it that I knew I wanted to have creator Jeff Tajeck on the show to share with us how to use this software, how EMDR works and how easy it is to incorporate this profound tool into our lives.
I hope this episode gets this technology in so many of your hands! Please share this resource with any woman you know that’s struggling with past trauma, stress, anxiety or feeling triggered by the many stresses we face in our everyday lives. Learn more and get signed up for Virtual EMDR here.

We’ve come a ways from the “salt is scary” nutrition mindset of the 80s but many of you are still wondering if higher sodium intake is actually helpful or even necessary. What’s interesting is that sodium is actually a vital mineral for our brains and nervous system in terms of how it conducts information. It’s also of note that sodium is an important player in mood, energy and inflammation. In this episode I break down how our nervous system utilizes sodium and how it impacts how we feel each day whether that’s low energy, sugar cravings or low stamina to workouts. I also cover what nutrition strategies or hormone imbalances may require extra sodium - as well as when we need to be mindful of getting too much.

You’ve likely heard a lot about gut health and how it is a key foundation to your health and it’s absolutely true that gut health directly impacts hormone health. In this episode I get into the exact interplays between estrogen and your gut, how the microbiome as a whole impacts estrogen and a subset of bacteria known as the estrobolome have an even bigger impact on your estrogen levels. I discuss knowing tested values like beta-glucuronidase which needs to be just right, not too high and not too low, in order for you to have healthy estrogen levels. As well I dive into how the gut and both thyroid hormones and cortisol interact. And because so many of us are dealing with diagnosed autoimmunity or have a positive family history of autoimmune diseases, I cover specific infections that are seen on functional stool testing that can be potential triggers for various autoimmune issues.

I’m thrilled to have Mae Steigler of Organifi with me on this episode! We talk all about the company’s start, its mission and how they formulate their incredible line of wellness support. It’s so fun when I can interview partners of the show and hear how much care goes into the products.
I love Organfi’s greens and have been using them for the past couple of years and I credit this superior antioxidant formula with getting my exercise motivation and stamina back after being wiped out from repeated viral infections, high stress and well, everything the Pandemic brought us.

Wellness on the internet is shiny. It’s perfect. It looks like, if we do those same things in such a seemingly effortless way, we’ll look and feel great too. But real life isn’t perfect or shiny all the time, some days it’s messy and can on occasion be downright ugly. The perception of what it takes to be well and healthy these days has a lot of us feeling like we can self-care and health to the list of things we are not able to pull off, that feel utterly overwhelming or one more reason to beat ourselves up.
In this episode I talk about what real wellness and real self care come down to - it’s literally one thing. Just one thing, and though it’s hard to do, if we can get this right more often than not the rest falls right into place.

You’ve likely heard about glutathione, a key compound in your body known commonly as your “master antioxidant”. It’s vital for managing inflammation, regulating your immune system, dealing with oxidative stress making it important for most health conditions including autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, exercise recovery and any chronic health issue.
In this episode I talk about the most important daily habits to boost your glutathione as well as (and perhaps even more importantly) not deplete it. I also talk about various supplements that will support glutathione synthesis and recycling (a key second step that’s often overlooked) and how to know which one is the best for you to take (i.e. NAC, liposomal glutathione, etc.).

Paleo, AIP, Carnivore, Keto, Low Histamine - what is best for you? Dietary elimination of certain types of triggers can be a really important part of your health journey but there are so many out there AND most importantly, they are meant as a tool and not meant to be a diet you live on forever - for the most part - or even meant to be the only tool you use. They are a great way to uncover sensitivities, decrease inflammation and relieve symptoms but again, they should ideally be part of a more holistic plan to heal so that ultimately you can get back on a more diverse diet without symptoms. Because eliminating an entire food groups (i.e. carbs, gluten, grains, etc.) or larger amounts of types of foods (i.e. lectins, high histamine foods) is not only logistically and emotionally challenging, strict diets that are not diverse in various foods can impact our microbiome negatively as variety is key.
So understanding how and when to use various elimination diets, how to come off of them, what you should be doing in conjunction with an elimination diet and which one of the plethora you have to choose from is exactly what I cover in this episode!

Changing our approach to stress has been a big part of my message these past few years because stress is inevitable - and some stress is even good for you. The problem many of us have is of course, unrelenting, continuous stress without recovery. As well our only response to a stressful situation is fight or flight, full sympathetic mode fueled by adrenaline and cortisol. What most of us don’t know is that fight or flight is just one of our possible stress responses that we can have. Sometimes it will take therapy or treatment (of a variety of types) to be able to make a more conscious choice to respond to stress differently, but the first step is knowing that we have options. And some of those options are a really powerful move for you that will allow you to grow from stress, create something from the stress and allow that recovery post stress that we all need. In this episode I cover five different types of stress response, the particular biochemical and hormonal cocktail they release and ways to be more intentional about way we respond to stress.

I cover how autoimmunity gets undiagnosed so easily, what’s really going on with your immune system with autoimmune (over active, underactive or unregulated), why we’re at risk for developing multiple autoimmune diseases and everything we can do to both prevent and manage autoimmune issues as they are so very common in women these days!

Autoimmune is a big topic and women often fall into two categories: not understanding what they can do to impact their immune system and autoimmune issue OR they’ve been promised a cure or have been lured by a “root cause” and end up frustrated and still feeling badly. In this episode I talk about signs of autoimmunity that might surprise you, the three stages of autoimmunity (hint: early detection and intervention is ideal!), why there are almost always multiple root causes as well the biggies in terms of diet, lifestyle and exercise when it comes to living with autoimmunity - and how to use them to feel better!
This episode is followed up by a Q&A episode and my top ten reasons why your autoimmunity may not be improving despite your efforts - so tune in to the next episode as well!

The title of her new book, Feeling Seen really says it all! Whether it be due to social media, social distancing or just all our past heartache and trauma, most of us feel disconnected these days. With all the ability to connect right in the palm of our hands, why does it feel so hard? It seems to get that true connection where we feel heard and seen and understood is a tall order, but in this episode we talk about how regulating our nervous system, focusing on clear communication and “walking each other home” can help us see and be seen with those we love.

As a follow up to episode #311, on this show I’m getting into the details of various hormone conditions that make fat loss a more frustrating battle than usual. These include autoimmune or chronic infections that generate a lot of inflammation and fatigue. As well I talk about dealing with low thyroid and thus a slow metabolism, hypothalamic amenorrhea and some strategies to think about finding your perfect calorie or macro number. And of course, I get into one super juicy question about the exact hormone changes that occur in menopause/perimenopause that we need to work with so differently when it comes to our metabolism than we did in our 30s. With all of these issues it can be harder - but it is not impossible! I cover a few levers to pull to move you toward you fat loss goal without wrecking your hormones.

Let’s end the debate: which matters, calories or hormones? And dig into why they both matter and some strategies that actually work when you’re trying to lose body fat with wonky hormones.
Now I’m not going to say it’s always easy or it is always even worth it to you, but there are a few things that we want to remember if we’re frustrated trying to move the needle with our weight loss goals. In this episode I talk about the biggest mistakes I see women (including myself) make when it comes to estimating their calories or macros, why just addressing calories or macros alone doesn't work well for many women (and what works better) as well as some tips and tools for both nutrition and exercise to work with particularly challenging hormones issues like cortisol, thyroid, insulin resistance and of course perimenopause/menopause.
And tune back in for the next episodes where I answer questions on fat loss from you the listeners! In that episode we get into more nitty gritty when it comes to Hashimoto’s, low thyroid, insulin and of course that frustrating decline of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone that comes in mid-life.

This episode is about loss and grief and the ways we keep people we’ve lost living on with us. Do you have a special object or small item that reminds you of someone you love that you’ve lost? I have a lot, a whole lot! I’ve often said I’m the most sentimental person in the world but turns out writer, former editor of O the Oprah Magazine, Ms. Debora Way has me beat!
After leaving the magazine world, Deborah combined her passion for writing, for stories and for sentimentality in a new project that lives on Instagram called The Keepthings. Her project collects stories of everything from a guitar pic to a recipe card to a flash drive to a special fork (the gravy fork, one of my fav stories) and what they meant to the people that just had to keep them.
What I love most about these stories is how they connect us all in a shared experience of losing someone we love. As well, with these stories we keep those we’ve lost alive in some way and allow others to know them as well. And all this connection and nostalgia boosts my favorite hormone, the antidote to cortisol: oxytocin!
In this episode, we discuss our favorite keepthings. I share my story of a sardine can from my grandparents farm as well as some other gems that Deborah has collected thus far.
Keep up with The Keepthings project here and DM Debroah if you’d like to submit a story of your own about something special from someone special.

Hot flashes are often thought to be synonymous with perimenopause and menopause and while fluctuating and decreasing estrogen levels can be one cause of hot flashes and night sweats, it’s far from the only thing to cause them.
And even the role estrogen plays with these symptoms is more complicated than just a lower estrogen level, as it can be complicated by low progesterone and how well you metabolize your estrogen. But we often forget the impact that blood sugar, stress and even thyroid hormones play in hot flashes. And what’s more: of course you can have more than one of these things going on! I cover it all here and help you make sense of all these variables so you can deal with this pesky symptom.

Very vulnerable episode alert! This is not my usual style of show that typically has a deep dive into the physiology of how your hormones work or an interview with an fellow expert or a how-to episode that gives you lots of tangible takeaways. While I always strive to give you the answers to the questions you have, this episode is more observations and a whole lot of questions vs. advice.
The midlife conversation currently is about hormones (to take them or not), how to look younger and the almost completely contradictory advice to embrace aging, age gracefully and simply be grateful for making it this far. This is not only contradictory but it is absolutely incomplete.
Arriving at the middle, in my late 40s has felt confusing, surprising, disappointing in some ways and incredibly stressful. I felt utterly unprepared to deal with the emotions and challenges of a new stage in my life, in my family’s life, in my parent’s life, in my career, in my body….all of it. So many questions and as I struggled I found that there is sadly woefully inadequate support out there and those how-tos that we all need to be able to navigate this immense transition. It felt like I stood in the precipice of this huge change and I was forced to jump in without a net.
Yes there are some things that are clearly a whole lot better than my 20s but there’s a lot that wasn’t quite like I expected and a ton that wasn’t prepared to handle. So on my birthday I recorded this episode of my observations, the challenges and the questions I intend to find answers to so that we can all have the middle me magical and way less stressful.
This is an episode I’d love your feedback on! Please reach out via email, Instagram or in Facebook group. I would love to know what your concerns, worries, fears and insights are around this dicey time!

What if perfectionism was your greatest superpower instead of your biggest weakness? I’ve often called myself a “recovering perfectionist” but I won’t use that term again after reading Katherine Morgan Schafler’s new book! This insightful book will let you breathe a sigh of relief because turns out your perfectionism isn’t necessarily something you need to fix after all. In this episode we cover a whole new way to view this tendency, how to stop it from being a maladaptive trait and use it to your major advantage and an entire reframe on how we view our right to joy and pleasure and satisfaction. Hint: you don’t have to be perfect to earn it.
This is an amazing episode and I hope you share it with every “recovering perfectionist” or type A friend you have!

When it comes to protein, some women simply need to focus on it as a staple in each meal and other women are mindful of protein but are often quite surprised they are eating about half of what they need per day. When it comes to wanting to build lean muscle mass, boost your metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity (thus overall hormone balance) or just have more energy we need our lean muscle. Because of this we lift weights and eat protein right and it turns to muscle? Not quite. Turns out triggering muscle protein synthesis (AKA building muscle) requires us to be a bit more precise in how much and how often we eat protein - but once you know this, it’s actually quite simple to get it done!
In this episode I talk about the leucine trigger for muscle protein synthesis, dig into what all this protein looks like in real meals like soups or stirfrys or chili vs. a chicken breast on a salad and when during your day you can capitalize a bit extra on building more muscle.

So 2022….you were a year that felt like six years. The biggest highs, the lowest lows. So many of us slid into the end of 2021 on fumes and ran towards 2022 full steam as we tried to make up for lost time. We were sprinting to catch up on all the things: school, work, relationships, our health. The year where everything was supposed to be “back to normal” but it was weirder than ever. In this episode I share a few lessons learned, reflectionons on this bonkers year and why I am in so many ways no more the wiser for surviing 2022 but I am still showing up every day.
Happiest of New Years listeners, you are why I do this thing and I’m so grateful for you.

As a parent, children growing up is oh so bittersweet. I am just now starting to adjust to the idea that I’m the mother of kids that aren’t babies or toddlers anymore. While my kiddos are not yet flying the nest, many of you have expressed anxiety and sadness about the upcoming transition for your parenting to kiddos leaving the house. In this episode I’m joined by journalist Celia Dodd, author of “The Empty Nest: Your Changing Family, Your New Direction” and “All Grown Up: Nurturing Relationships With Adult Children”.
We cover this issue from so many angles from how this impacts you, your spouse, your adult child, a sibling still at home, how this is different for a single vs. a married or partnered parent and more. Celia approaches this subject with compassion and we discuss how to handle the myriad of emotions from sadness to fear of the unknown to anxiety that your child may be farther away than they’ve ever been from you and the excitement for getting in touch with other aspects of yourself beyond being a mother.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, although I’ll admit this interview made me anxious about my future for sure! Pointing towards work I need to do within myself to ease this transition for myself and my family - and illustrating that it’s not too early to listen to this episode! Even if you feel this phase of motherhood is a long way off.

I’m joined for this episode by Galina Denzel, author of the amazing, interactive book “Peace with Self, Peace with Food: A Trauma Healing Approach for Emotional Eating”. We dive into how past events can leave us vying for distraction, safety and even control when we experience everyday stresses from the big to the small. Many of us soothe that stress with emotional eating, never fully understanding that it’s not a lack of willpower or acknowledging that nothing is wrong with us, we are unhealed in some way and self-medicating or self-soothing it with food, wine, etc.
In this show we talk about how your brain gets a bit rewired from trauma and how certain aspects of eating, like crunching (who knew??) can be so stress relieving making it no wonder so many of us turn to food to feel better when we’re under stress, in pain or otherwise hurt or out of sorts.

“Tis the season to be busy and surrounded by foods that may not work so well for you. Should you go all in cuz it’s only once a year? Swap out the sugar in your pumpkin pie for stevia and coconut sugar? Indulge and then beat yourself up for not having more willpower? Or simply say, whatever, I’ll try again January 1?
As you may imagine, I’m gonna say “it depends!” It really does. It depends on how easy it is for you to sidestep things that don’t work for you, your history with dietary restriction, how much they wreck you and why you want them in the first place.
In this episode I walk you through the questions you can ask yourself to get #curiousovercritical about your draw to and cravings for certain foods, how to know if moderation or avoidance is best for you and how to enjoy them when the #joyfactor is high and skip the ones where it is low.

Recently a study - and subsequent headlines - came out saying that we should no longer be testing vitamin D levels or supplementing with vitamin D. In this episode I talk about what they evaluated in this particular study and the conclusions we can and can’t draw about vitamin D supplementation for conditions like osteoporosis, autoimmunity and other chronic conditions. As well when we need to think past a lab value for vitamin D to see what may be driving the level low and supplementation may not be the thing - or at least not the only thing - to do.

On the heels of the last episode on breakfast, I put together and entire episode on morning routines. So much of what you read about morning routines are very complex, specific and time consuming leaving most of us feeling like we fail before we even get our day started. Not at all how we should feel going into our day! And in the wellness space your morning to do list is no better: light exposure, meditate, cold plunge, exercise, fasting, delaying caffeine, etc.
In this episode I talk about how to figure out which morning habits will give your hormones and physiology the most benefit and which ones you can save for later - if at all. I also talk about knowing what is your “one thing” that you should aim for even if the rest of the routine falls apart - as it inevitably does! And I share my “one thing”, why I think it’s more about how you feel than what you do first thing in the AM and the importance of letting your routine evolve as your goals/priorities change.

I get this question daily: Dr Brooke, what are good breakfast options? Given that breakfast sets the nutritional tone and hormonal balance for the day, the old adage that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” does hold some weight. Some of the biggest issues for women include getting adequate protein to not perturb insulin and blood sugar for the day and get a jump on that 1g per kg body weight of protein goal for the day; as well as needing quick options and also how to deal with low appetite (particularly for protein) upon waking that can be due to cortisol, blood sugar or inflammation.
This episode will help you understand why this meal needs to be optimized for your hormones, some easy options and of course, what I do too to make this happen in my busy life. Hopefully by the end of this episode you’ll think of breakfast as less “special” with its unique foods and have some easy ideas to make your first meal of the day a great one.
At the recommended 1g per kg of body weight, most women struggle to get in adequate protein each day or aim to supplement with products that are not the right blend of essentials amino acids to get the job done (i.e. collagen, bone broth protein, BCAA powders, etc.) With your body being 50% amino acids plus the uphill battle most women face after age 30 to hold on to their lean mass, using a properly blended, complete amino acid blend like those from KION will be a game changer for your health, energy and metabolism.

Dr Brooke Show #292 Collagen, Beef Based Protein Powders, Plant Based Protein Sources & More Protein Q&A
As a follow up to episode #290 (All About Amino Acids with Angelo Keely of KION) I asked women in our private FREE Facebook group (you can join here) what challenges they had to getting adequate protein during their day, what questions they had about their protein sources including protein powders and what other nitty gritty they needed to know about getting that 1g per pound of body weight.
Now these questions were great! So many questions about the logistics of “What if I eat soup or chili with protein, how do I know how much I am getting?” and “How to account for the protein in collagen and bone broth proteins”. In this episode I also cover the idea of using plant based proteins to count as a veggie as well as a protein and what it really means when you see a protein powder is “beef based” or “hydrolyzed beef isolate”.

Get your notebooks out cuz this episode is jam packed with info about one of my favorite topics that always deserves more attention and unpacking: protein. I’m joined by founder of KION, Angelo Keely and expert in all things amino acids. We discuss precisely why protein is so foundational for aging and metabolism and the unique considerations for women.
We also make sense of the myriad of powered options you have from protein shakes to collagen peptides to branch chain amino acids, as well as what you need to know about animal vs. plant protein sources - and it's not just about a complete vs. an incomplete protein! Angelo also shares how we can use a complete amino acid blend to up our daily protein intake, support our workouts and a ton of other benefits from supporting mood, balancing hormones and helping with cravings.
This is an episode to tune into and share! The protein conversation is rife with myths, fears and a whole lot of marketing. This conversation with Angelo will help us all feel more informed and on our way to living a longer, healthier life that’s full of fun - which is in fact the mission of his company Kion. So good! Can’t wait to hear what you think.

Functional nurse practitioner turned coach Victoria Albina joins me for this really great episode - I mean I really loved recording this with her! She goes in depth on how our nervous system is responding when we find ourselves people pleasing, outsourcing our emotional health to others (i.e. needing approval to feel OK) and oftentimes asking ourselves “Why am I responding this way to this smallish thing like it’s a freakin’ huge thing?”
She shares some practical, tangible tools on the episode that you can start using right away to not only calm your nervous system, but actually start to HEAL it. This distinction is a key takeaway from this show. I know you’ll find this one super helpful!

There are many reasons why you aren’t able to recover between workouts and lacking the steam to keep at it with any consistency. I cover several of them in this episode including lifestyle habits that are absolutely key (although perhaps boring) to recovery including sleep, hydration as well as how oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial health and several hormones will impact your ability to repair, reset and get ready to workout again. I also cover the difference between latent and immediate recovery and how lack of one vs. the other indicates different issues. And of course I give you some suggestions for things that help all of us recover better such as cold exposure.

Why is it so hard to change? Is it because you don’t want it enough? Or don’t have the willpower? According to Dr. Shauna Shapiro and the research: the answer is no. Turns out it’s a lack of self-compassion that makes change and living more of the life we want to live so elusive.
I’m thrilled to have Shauna back on the show to talk about her new companion journal to her book “Good Morning, I Love You” which is a 3 month journey of creating more self-compassion with morning and evening practices and weekly deep dives.

I get asked this question almost more than anything, still after close to 20 years doing this work. When it comes to snacks and what makes a good one, we need to be clear on why we are snacking. Is it habit or boredom or necessary cuz we can’t maintain our energy and blood sugar levels? What do we need to accomplish with a snack: fuel, workout recovery, more protein? I cover all this and give you some of my fav high protein snack options in this episode.

If you’ve wanted to say “Uncle” at any point in the last two years, you are not alone and honestly, who could blame you? It’s been a lot. And then it has been a lot more! Not only have we had repeated stressors one after another - and big ones too like a pandemic, warring countries, racial and political tension and a looming recession - but there has also been ongoing uncertainty and overwhelm hanging over us like a big, gray storm cloud.
The stressors keep coming and we have had no time to recover before the next blow, it’s no wonder we are seeing more anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues and a host of inflammatory issues and of course our female hormones are caught in this crossfire as well. In this episode I talk about why we need to prioritize and literally run to our self-care practices, shore up any stresses we can and find ways to recover from this ongoing stress. I also share some lesser known options for your stress response beyond the common fight or flight such as the Challenge Response and Tend and Befriend. We have choices and we have more power than it seems.

I’m just gonna come right out and say it: I stink at accepting help from others. I also know, I’m not alone in that! It can bring up feelings of guilt that we can’t do it all ourselves, an uncomfortable sense of “I don’t deserve help” or “I don’t want to put anyone out” or even “I don’t want to owe anyone anything".
However, when we don’t accept help from others we are furthering our mistrust that we can be cared for by others safely and we are denying those that love us the chance to boost their oxytocin and give to us. It’s good for our self-compassion, self-love and connections to others to be helped so I dedicated some time to talking about why it may be hard for you and how to change your outlook on it for healing and getting some help when you need it!

That stack of papers to file, the list of phone calls to make, the light bulb that needs to be changed, that conversation you’ve had in your head a hundred times but are avoiding having in person, that list of things you need to get to but it just seems to awful you keep pretending it will go away - did you know those are impacting your brain and your hormones?
Our brain will continue to keep these undone tasks as an “open loop” and sucking up your mental energy and willpower until it’s done. Draining dopamine which can certainly impact you motivation to workout and have you craving sugar and things that don’t work well for you. As well your cortisol will be on the rise and impacting your anxiety, sleep and of course, your other hormones like progesterone and thyroid.
I talk about how this all works in your brain and some strategies to clear your desk, handle that mental clutter and keep it from getting built up again in the future to decrease your overwhelm and make your hormones a bit happier.

This is the final show of my three part series on food sensitivity testing where I answer your questions on these tests. If you want to know what these tests can and can't tell you and what labs and methodologies to use and which to avoid be sure to listen to parts 1 and 2. In this episode I am answering questions from our Facebook group that cover when to do an elimination diet vs. getting testing, when to see an allergist for testing vs. more functional medicine sensitivity testing, what symptoms like bloating may be telling you (hint: that can be a food sensitivity but can be a whole lot of other things too and so other testing or strategies may be better), when you should retest and much more!

This episode is the second of a three part series on making sense of food sensitivity testing. In the first episode we covered the basics of what food allergy vs. sensitivity means when it comes to your immune system. In this episode I dive into the types of testing available to you and what they are actually testing for. Currently there is a wide array of labs, methodologies and even at home tests you can order and this episode will help you know what’s accurate and what’s not, if a finger stick vs. a blood draw is a good at home option and recap what types of food reactions you won’t see on a food sensitivity test and some easy things you can do to remedy those.

I get asked this question daily, both in my practice and in my online community. It’s a great question because it seems like the perfect answer to alleviate digestive symptoms, skin troubles, low energy, blood sugar and hormone problems right? Just take a test and tell me what to eat! I get it and they can be really helpful BUT there are a ton of problems with these tests.
You need to know what type of reaction you’re actually testing (allergy vs. sensitivity), the labs need to be using the proper methodology (hint: most of them are not), they can’t test for every type of food reaction (i.e.bloating can be caused by a gut infection, low HCL or a food sensitivity and only one of those will show up on a test) AND you need to understand where food sensitivities fit in your overall treatment plan. Food Issues do cause a host of inflammatory issues but they are often a symptom and not a root cause so just “getting your food sensitivities” checked and get off that food forever isn’t usually the best approach.
I will tell you all about why in this 3 part series!

I don’t know about you but feeling unseen or misunderstood is very hard for me. In this episode of #ALittleBitBetter I share a current experience where I am navigating this super uncomfortable space of feeling like someone just doesn't “get you” or worse, sees you in a light you know not to be true.
I talk about how I’ve experienced this in the past and how I’m handling it totally differently now and give you several tools to do better with this tricky situation including the right and wrong assumptions to make about where someone else is coming from, the power of focusing on how you show up and what you can do to meet your own emotional needs when someone isn’t able to have the hard conversation with you.

Don’t miss this episode if you’ve ever felt guilty or ashamed that you’re not in perfect health, free of flares, have an ideal body composition, totally symptom free or ever had a back slide after making progress. Or if you’re a recovering perfectionist like me that needs to be reminded of the bigger picture from time to time. Also, if you need some tools for more self compassion when you’re in that gap between where you expected or wanted to be and where you are now.

In this episode I answered questions right from my Facebook group (link below!) and I covered a whole lot about cortisol testing: which type of test is better, do you really need to get one at all, what I see getting missed ALL THE TIME on these tests, how testing compares with online symptom based quizzes and more.
In this episode I also talk about how long you need to workout to keep or build strength, to maintain and build muscle mass and lose fat if that’s your goal. Lots of gems in this one!

Holy smokes y’all, my life got turned totally sideways the past few days and it’s been a true test of all the tools I’ve been teaching you all. It’s been tough, I’ve had moments of nothing but tears. I’ve doubted it all. I also found hope.
And most importantly, I got through. Now I want to share it all with you.
What I learned was that practicing mindfulness and stress skills is like working out, when you’re doing it it’s always super hard but it’s never as hard as the first day. We all have to put in our reps.
Tune in to this episode and hear the recent drama and how my tools held me together and the lessons learned.

My space profoundly impacts my mood and emotional state so of course I think of creating my space as a major part of my overall health and hormone balance. Our productivity, creativity, sense of peace, motivation and joy can all be influenced by the space around us and with so many of us spending even more time at home in the last few years, creating a space that gives you the vibe you’re after can be one more little thign you do to support your health and wellbeing.
My dear friend Margo joined me on this episode to give us some amazing advice from color psychology to where to spend your hard earned money to how to find a middle ground between needing to spruce up a room NOW but not able to do a full renovation.

In this episode I talk about why I’m such an advocate for both strength training for women - and it’s not just about body composition and preventing osteoporosis. Muscle mass is your metabolism to a large degree and it’s a key player as an endocrine and immune organ. You read that right! Muscles make hormones called myokines that have a huge impact in systemic inflammation thus are key to your overall health and hormone balance.
But how about if you’re wanting to lose body fat, should you be focusing on cardio or weights? While cardio does burn fat during your session it’s a lot more complicated than that so I cover how to strike a balance but most importantly why you can’t rely on exercise alone for fat loss. We must get rid of the idea that exercise can simply just “burn it off”.
Lastly, I cover the barriers we have to lifting weights be it know how, logistics or of course: not enough time!

Probiotics are sorta the OG of favorite supplements, most everyone has taken one yet there is still so much confusion and marketing hoo-ha, it’s no wonder I still get asked “what’s the best probiotic to take?” and “should I take them with food or without?” and of course, “is it best to take probiotics when on antibiotics or after or should I even bother?”
I cover all of these questions and give you some guidance on how to choose a probiotic supplement, how to spot problems with probiotics so you can choose more quality formulas and just how much difference you can expect in your health and hormones if you’re taking probiotics.
Also there is an exciting announcement at the end of this episode!

Calling all entrepreneurs or anyone who is trying to up their game with their work and creativity! My good friend Terri Trespicio always has a fresh approach on things and in her new book Unfollow Your Passion she teaches us what we need to focus on to be more creative, more successful, to find our groove with work and most importantly: to create a life that matters to YOU.
In usual Terri fashion, it’s not the same old simplistic hustle harder advice you’ve heard before. In this episode we talk about why your comfort zone may be exactly where you need to be and the advice to “step out of your comfort zone” is outdated and not ideal for women, what you should follow instead of your passion and a load of other amazing tips for women entrepreneurs and creatives.

Stress, it’s terrible right? Yes…and surprisingly, no. Turns out while chronic stress is of course really hard on our health and our hormones, much of the daily stress we experience could be transformed by taking a different perspective on stress. Our mindset when it comes to the stress of daily living and even the big stresses will profoundly impact not only our physiology around stress but our day to day experience of overwhelm vs. contentment.
In this episode I share the cocktail of hormones that is released when we’re stressed and what we can do to harness growth, connection and meaning from our stressful experiences vs. feeling like a failure because we still have “so much stress” in our lives. There’s an upside to stress and we can’t eliminate all of our stress, so let’s learn to get better at it.

In this episode I tackle a few very big questions from you all when it comes to stress. The bulk of all of our concerns come down to something along the lines of: how do I find the time, money and energy to take care of myself and my family/friends/loved ones? With so much information about stress and so much “how to '' available to us for meal prep, various hormone and sleep hacks, workout tips, here we are: despite all our stress management tools we are still very stressed about how to get it all done and find some joy in doing it.
In this episode and #255 I dig into the why behind us still feeling so stressed, how mindfulness actually works, where we have control and how to intervene and how to create a compass to guide the choices that stress you out.

She gives us so many actional takeaways including three things we can just let go of as parenting including the idea that we will be perfect grown ups all the time. She also shares with us the key things we need to do when we aren’t perfect such as how to repair after a “Oh I wish I wouldn't have handled things that way moment” and how often we actually have to get it right to be good parents (it’s less than you think!).

She’s back! Well just for this episode, but still a big cause to be grateful! Sarah joins me today to share an update with how she’s been since she stepped away from our podcast and our other projects to tend to her health, her family and her gym in Chico, CA. We open up about how we both wished we could’ve done better with the changes this all brought to our friendship and partnership, how hard the past couple of years have been and how we’re now, finally thriving on the other side of it.
It was so fun to have Sarah back! Give a listen and know we are both so grateful to have had you all along for this wild ride that was the Sarah & Dr Brooke Show and Hangry. And I am even more grateful for sharing with you all whatever comes next!

I thought I understood Paleo and ancestral health until I recorded this episode! I’m joined by anthropologist Bill Schindler to talk about his new book Eat Like A Human and we talk all things evolution and nutrition from an ancestral perspective. This chat goes beyond romanticizing our Paleo ancestors and really shows how the technological advances of our species were the key movers in how we changed our diet and subsequently our health. We also talk about the Dr. Schindler’s big idea that it’s more about how we eat than what we eat. Don’t miss this show or his book!

Many of us deal with lingering aches and pains, chronic injuries or inflammation that derails our activities, our training and adds stress and hormone chaos over time. Dr. Perry is a wonderful doc that has some unique perspectives to help us resolve nagging pain and is a true root cause practitioner.

Those are just a few of the gems we cover in this episode, I know this one will be super helpful for us all.

Be your best friend is the 4th pillar from my book Hangry and it’s one that’s elusive for many of us when that internal critical voice is so much louder than our inner best friend voice. And sadly, I rarely meet a woman that isn’t in need of more tools to be kinder to herself. This great conversation with yoga therapist Erica Mather will give you some new tools and insight to improve your friendship with your body. Such a great episode!

So many women I talk to feel that they are doing everything “right”, eating so “healthy” and yet not losing any weight. While weight loss and fat loss are not everyone’s goal, for some of us that is the goal and frustration can mount when you’re seemingly doing all the things but getting nowhere.
In this episode I cover why calories matter, why hormones matter too (and perhaps more), the problem with apps and trackers and give you some simple, easy ways to lower or manage calories and certain macros all the while honoring your hormones and not making yourself miserable and obsessed with calorie counting. Totally win-win.

Whew, this last year was HARD. So much change and so much stress - both good and bad. I could see myself staring down the barrel of total burnout but was able to avoid it by taking a fresh approach to stress and revamping some of the tools that no longer worked for me. I share the biggest needle movers for me in this episode that I believe helped me avoid a big crash with both my hormones and my happiness.
This was a very personal episode, but I truly hope these perspectives and tools are life changing for you!

You’ve heard me say it a million times (and other experts too, I’m sure): gut health is so important! The health, diversity and robustness of your gut microbiome profoundly impacts your immune hormones and vice versa. In fact, there are several hormones made right in your gut! And the hormones made elsewhere like in your adrenals, thyroid or ovaries have a bidirectional communication with your gut microbiome.
There’s so much we don’t know about the microbiome and it’s easy to get off in the weeds focusing on one particular strain of probiotic or one common gut disruption, but the truth is we do know a lot and most importantly we know the key things to focus on to improve your gut and thus your hormones. In this episode, I dive into how your gut health and hormones interact when it comes to metabolism, estrogen balance, thyroid hormones and more.

In this show we talked about using resentment as a key insight into where you’re losing energy and stamina for your life (this was mind blowing), how to be more resilient and turning some common self-care adaages like “fill up your cup first” and “just change your mindset” on their head. So good.

From castor oil to lemon water to fasting and cold showers, these habits and remedies have stood the test of time. Some have solid, current scientific backing and others... not so much. What works, what doesn’t and the why behind them is all covered in this episode, along with a few of my personal stories of gallbladder flushes, enemas and cold hydrotherapy. Yikes!

I’ve used this formula to help my patients change their habits for nearly ten years and I’m super excited it to break it all down for you in this episode. Habits are like reps at the gym, you want to do them right and keep putting in the time. It’s like a bank account of self-trust and mini-results - which is a hard sell in a quick fix world. I also touch on the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which is an easy framework for habit change as well.
So tune in and learn how a habit works, where to intervene in the habit cycle or loop for better success and tips and tricks for getting more willpower.
And if you want to have me help you fine-tune and create what works for your hormones with the 5 Habits from Hangry get registered here! We start in just 2 days!

2020 has brought with it so many changes and not the least of which was to shine a bright light on the dark spots in the fitness and wellness industry. From body type to skin color and all manner of differences between us, fitness and wellness are predominantly white and thin and has failed in many ways to be more inclusive to people of all body types, socio-economic status, and skin color, to name a few.
Coach Crissy King joins us in an important, and at times uncomfortable, conversation about race, inclusivity and how we can be better humans.

Having studied bereavement and even doing her master’s thesis in it, Christina Rassmussen thought she knew grief. Then the tragic loss of a child and then her husband to cancer and being left with the loss of a future and a young family to tend to, she found herself not finding answers or help from traditional therapy so she returned to her studies and found a new way.
She describes grief as a gap you can get lost in, between your past with someone and your future without them. The way she speaks of the experience of loss is like no one else, blending personal experience, neuroscience and hope. If you’ve lost someone or know someone who has, this episode will open your eyes to healing and a whole new way of processing grief.
Christina is working on her third book but you can learn more about her other books: Second Firsts and Where Did You Go as well as her Life Reentry Institute and her podcast, The Dear Life Podcast on her site ChristinaRasmussen.com.

Right now the world feels very polarized on so many things including the longstanding debate on red meat being dangerous, what are the best protein sources for humans and how much do you really need per day, as well as if meat and cattle can be part of a regenerative and sustainable food and farming system.

Friends, we are here for you. We know how overwhelming and scary the world feels right now amidst this COVD19 pandemic. If you’re like us, you’re probably experiencing a vast array of emotions that are all over the map in the course of a few minutes - feeling optimistic only to feel overwhelmed and frightened five minutes later. Some of you may be reeling with panic over your business, community or vulnerable family members. Some of you may be feeling anxious about being isolated. We get it.
