  • BONUS: Optimizing Adrenal Health: The Power of Lifestyle Changes with Dr. Izabella Wentz

    BONUS: Optimizing Adrenal Health: The Power of Lifestyle Changes with Dr. Izabella Wentz
    Feb 17 2025
    I’m delighted to connect with Dr. Izabella Wentz today! She is a PharmD, an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist, and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease. She is also the author of three books. Her most recent book is The Adrenal Transformation Protocol. Dr. Wentz joins me to dive into how to identify what is going on with our adrenal health and why adrenal issues tend to occur along with thyroid issues. We speak about her background and how it influenced her life’s work, the myth of adrenal fatigue, and HPA dysfunction. We also discuss the physiology of the adrenals, acute versus chronic stress, signs of a dysregulated HPA axis, lifestyle, the impact of trauma, and how Dr. Wentz’s protocol works. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Wentz explains what led her to write The Adrenal Protocol. What happens in the body when we experience significant amounts of fatigue? How the physical impact of acute stress differs from that of chronic stress. Symptoms of adrenal dysfunction (other than chronic fatigue). How does sleep apnea tie to Hashimoto’s and mitochondrial health? Lifestyle factors that may contribute to adrenal fatigue. Adaptogens and supplements that can assist in balancing cortisol levels. How to know when to cut back on exercise. Foods that support thyroid and adrenal health, and foods that could negatively impact thyroid and adrenal health. What is molecular mimicry? How does trauma impact adrenal health? Dr. Wentz talks about her latest book, The Adrenal Transformation Protocol. Something you can do right now to improve your adrenal health. Bio: Izabella Wentz, PharmD, FASCP, is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto’s: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto’s Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Dr. Wentz currently lives in Texas with her husband, Michael, and their son, Dimitry.

    Ep. 440 Why Less Than 3% of Women Use HRT: Myths, Labs & Lifestyle Jackie Piasta, RN, MSN, RNFA, WHNP-BC, NCMP
    Feb 15 2025
    I am excited today to connect with my friend and colleague, Jackie Piasta. Jackie is Vanderbilt-trained and has been board-certified as a women’s and gender health nurse practitioner. She has been practicing since 2010. She serves on medical advisory committees for several foundations and co-hosts the justASK Podcast. In our conversation, we dive into the challenges and complexities surrounding menopausal hormone replacement therapy and FDA-approved formulations, looking at the minute percentage of women currently on menopausal hormone replacement therapy. We discuss supraphysiologic-dosing of hormones and lab work strategies regarding prescribing lifestyle, and Jackie clarifies how she differentiates hypoactive sexual disorder from low libido and dysfunctional uterine bleeding from early menopause. We explore IUDs, ablations, and other long-term bleeding therapy options, explaining how endometriosis can impact the onset of menopause. Jackie also shares her approach to managing patients who have had ablations or are using IUD therapies and not getting regular menstrual cycles, helping them to determine when they transition into menopause. This conversation is full of valuable insights, and we look forward to having Jackie back for a further deep dive into this pivotal stage of women’s health. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Jackie compares the varying information and lack of a one-size-fits-all approach in HRT with that of other medical treatments. Overwhelming options and fear surrounding HRT can make it challenging for clinicians to prescribe those treatments. How compounded HRT formulations differ from commercially available formulations The difference between a normal physiologic and a supraphysiologic dose How low libido differs from hypoactive sexual desire disorder Challenges of diagnosing menopause in women who have had ablations or hysterectomies or use long-acting reversible contraceptives Importance of evaluating postmenopausal bleeding to rule out endometrial cancer Transparency and open communication with patients about the benefits and risks of HRT Other health interventions to be addressed alongside HRT How endometrial biopsies confirm the presence of uterine disease rather than ruling it out Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Jackie Piasta On her website My Monarch Health on Instagram Jackie on Instagram The justASK Podcast

    Ep. 439 AMA #11: Supplements & HRT for Balanced Hormones with Cynthia Thurlow, NP
    Feb 12 2025
    Welcome to today's special AMA episode, where we dive into questions from listeners regarding supplementation to support hormonal health, hormone replacement therapy, and the specific circumstances surrounding perimenopause and menopause. We have included the relevant research links with actionable information to take to your providers. We will also happily share the provider PDF we compiled featuring experts across the United States who specialize in perimenopausal and menopausal hormone replacement therapy and links to MIDI Health, a telemedicine company I find beneficially conservative in that they can provide access to appropriate FDA-approved options to help women use their insurance to gain access to estrogen patches, oral micronized progesterone, and compounded options inexpensively. I know you will find all the information about hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause, menopause, and targeted supplementation invaluable, and please keep on sending us your questions. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: What are the benefits of DHEA for pre-menopausal women? Why the keto lifestyle and cardio exercise may not be giving Mary her desired results Amanda asks about incorporating estradiol into her hormone replacement regimen The difference between micronized and compounded progesterone Can Jody start HRT at 72? The symptoms of estrogen dominance What are the optimal estrogen and progesterone levels for brain, bone, and heart health? The importance of cardiovascular risk assessment for women on HRT The complex interrelationship that exists between hormones and neurotransmitters Is HRT safe for women with a family history of cancer? Why strength training, quality sleep, and stress management are all essential for menopausal women Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com
