| The Hidden Cost of Being the Strong One: Money, Stress & Mental Health with Mandi Woodruff-Santos | 03 Nov 2026 | 01:04:27 | |
Feeling overwhelmed by stress, financial pressure, or the demands of everyday life? Explore hol+ mental health services to learn about personalized support for your emotional well-being. She built a successful career, started her own business, and became a mother. So why did everything start to feel overwhelming? Dr. Taz welcomes award-winning financial journalist, career coach, and Brown Ambition podcast host Mandi Woodruff-Santos to explore how financial stress, career pressure, and the expectation to hold everything together can affect women's mental and physical health. Mandi shares what she's learned from helping women navigate money challenges, career transitions, and the pressure to succeed. Together, they discuss why women often struggle to ask for what they need, how financial shame can undermine confidence, and the additional challenges women of color face when advocating for themselves at work. Dr. Taz reflects on the stress she sees among women who carry financial responsibility for their families, as well as her own experience growing up around money anxiety. Their conversation explores the pressure to be the strong one, the connection between financial security and emotional well-being, and why success doesn't always protect us from burnout. Mandi also opens up about her personal experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, the challenges of building a business while raising young children, and the circumstances that led her to seek inpatient mental health treatment. She introduces the idea of a mental health emergency fund, explaining why having trusted people and professional support in place matters before a crisis occurs. Drawing from her upcoming book, Brown Ambition: How to Reboot Your Money and Career When Life Throws You Off Track, Mandi shares how women can move beyond shame, navigate unexpected setbacks, and pursue financial success without losing sight of their health and happiness.

| Your Body Remembers: How Past Trauma Can Still Affect You | 29 Oct 2026 | 00:06:21 | |
What if experiences you thought you'd moved past are still influencing how you feel, react, and connect with others? In this episode, Dr. Taz reflects on her recent conversation with trauma expert Dr. Gillian O'Shea Brown and shares what stood out most about the connection between emotional trauma, physical health, and the nervous system. Dr. Taz explores how past experiences, including smaller, often overlooked microtraumas, may shape our stress responses and relationship patterns. She also discusses EMDR, somatic healing, attachment styles, and why learning to recognize our emotional patterns can be an important part of healing. Drawing from her own life, Dr. Taz opens up about the time she spent alone in her twenties and how that period of self-reflection helped her better understand herself, break old patterns, and prepare for healthier relationships. This mini solo is a reminder that understanding your personal story can be just as important as looking ahead. Sometimes the patterns we want to change begin with experiences we haven't fully understood. In this episode, Dr. Taz reflects on:

| Unresolved Trauma: Why We Repeat Painful Relationship Patterns and How to Begin Healing with Dr. Gillian O’Shea Brown | 27 Oct 2026 | 00:56:00 | |
Different person. Same painful pattern. Why does it happen? Dr. Taz welcomes psychotherapist and complex trauma specialist Dr. Gillian O’Shea Brown to explore how unresolved experiences can shape our relationships, our reactions, and the beliefs we carry about ourselves. Dr. Gill describes trauma as the past intruding on the present. Together, they discuss how childhood coping strategies can follow us into adulthood, why familiar dynamics can influence attraction, and what it can mean to recognize yourself as the fixer, the caretaker, or the person who puts their own needs last.
They also introduce EMDR therapy, the importance of preparation and professional support, and Dr. Gill’s perspective on emotional and somatic healing. Drawing from her book, Psyche’s Awakening, Dr. Gill brings together psychology and Greek mythology to explore self-compassion, psychological safety, and the possibility of choosing differently.

| Microinflammation: The Slow Burn Behind Symptoms You Can’t Explain | 08 Oct 2026 | 00:08:20 | |
What if your fatigue, achy joints, brain fog, stubborn weight, skin issues, and frequent illnesses aren't six separate problems, but different signs of the same underlying pattern? In this episode, Dr. Taz explains microinflammation, the chronic low-grade inflammatory activity that can quietly affect multiple systems throughout the body.

| 6 Signs Your Thyroid Is Struggling Even If Your Labs Are “Normal” | 01 Oct 2026 | 00:12:36 | |
If you’ve been told your thyroid is “fine” but you’re still exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, feeling cold, constipated, or struggling with brain fog, there may be more to the story. In this episode, Dr. Taz explains why a single TSH result may not capture the full picture of thyroid health, and why symptoms can sometimes appear before traditional lab markers begin to shift. She breaks down six common warning signs of thyroid dysfunction and explores the factors that may be driving them, including Hashimoto’s, chronic stress and cortisol, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, blood sugar, and environmental exposures. You’ll also learn which thyroid markers can help provide a broader picture, including Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, and why looking at patterns over time can be just as important as looking at a single number. In this episode:

| Fatty Liver Can Be Silent: What to Check and What Actually Helps | Dr. Taz | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:06:16 | |
Fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms. So how would you know to ask about it, and what can you do if it shows up on a test? In this short episode, Dr. Taz explains the connection between fatty liver and metabolic health, including insulin resistance, blood sugar, muscle, and everyday habits. She also discusses clues that deserve a closer look, why mildly elevated liver enzymes should be followed up, and practical steps such as reducing sugary drinks, strength training, and walking after meals. Fatigue or belly weight alone cannot tell you whether you have fatty liver. If you have concerns about your liver enzymes or metabolic health, talk with a qualified healthcare provider about which tests and next steps make sense for you.

| Your Body Detoxes Itself. That’s Only Half the Truth: Liver Detox, Juice Cleanses and Natural Detoxification | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:18:12 | |
Join The Circle (use code PODCAST): ➡️ https://holplus.co/circle/ Detox has become one of the most controversial ideas in health and wellness. On one side, there are juice cleanses, detox teas, fasting programs, and liver cleanse supplements. On the other, we are told that the body detoxes itself and needs no additional support. The truth sits somewhere in the middle. Your body has natural detoxification pathways, but their ability to function can be influenced by your nutrition, hydration, digestion, movement, nutrient status, and environmental exposure. Supporting detoxification is not about periodically putting your body through an extreme cleanse. It is about creating sustainable daily habits that support the systems doing this work continuously.
The goal is not to find the most aggressive detox cleanse. It is to understand which pathways may need support and build a personalized plan that works with your body.

| How to Become the Person Who Can Create the Life You Want | Jim Curtis | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:59:58 | |
What if the life you want is possible, but your current beliefs are keeping you from becoming the person who can create it? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Jim Curtis, author of The Book of Possibility, to explore how the subconscious mind, emotional regulation, and the stories we tell ourselves can shape our identity, health, relationships, and future. After developing a lesion on his spinal cord and struggling with chronic pain and mobility, Jim began searching for answers beyond the conventional medical system. His experience led him to study belief patterns, visualization, self-hypnosis, and the connection between our emotional and physical well-being. Jim also guides Dr. Taz through a powerful live exercise to uncover one of her own limiting beliefs. Together, they reveal how greater awareness can help you release an old story, align with a new possibility, and begin acting as the person you want to become.

| Dr. Sue Morter: Energy Blockages, Nervous System Dysregulation, and Why Healing Gets Stuck | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:56:58 | |
Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ In this episode Dr. Sue explains how energetic blockages can show up as a lump in the throat, tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, chronic tension, anxiety, digestive issues, allergies, pain patterns, and other symptoms that often appear disconnected from the deeper root cause. Dr. Sue shares how the flow of energy through the body acts like a master system, influencing the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the body’s self-regulating capacity. When that flow becomes blocked by unresolved emotions, survival patterns, stress, fear, or disconnection from the self, the body may move into dysregulation and lose access to its natural healing intelligence. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Healing is not just about treating symptoms. It is about understanding the deeper patterns beneath them, including stress, emotional suppression, nervous system dysregulation, breath, posture, self-compassion, and the relationship you have with your own body.
Dr. Taz and Dr. Sue also discuss why affirmations and manifestation practices may not work if they are coming from the protective or performing personality, why posture and breath can help shift the body into a different state, and how reconnecting with the true self can open the door to healing, creativity, safety, and wholeness. If you’ve ever felt stuck in chronic stress, disconnected from your body, frustrated by symptoms that don’t fully resolve, or curious about the connection between energy, emotions, and physical health, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, we cover:
This is not just about energy healing. It is about understanding the body as a connected system, learning how stress and emotion shape your physiology, and remembering that healing often begins by returning to yourself.

Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ What if looking fit on the outside is hiding how much your body is struggling underneath? Cameron Mathison was known as the healthy, camera-ready guy on television. Behind the lean physique, however, he was under-eating, overtraining, living in a constant state of stress, and dealing with reflux, bloating, low energy, and bloodwork that did not make sense. When Cameron could not shake the feeling that something more serious was wrong, he advocated for an MRI. It revealed kidney cancer. In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, the Emmy-nominated actor and Emmy-winning television host shares how listening to his body helped detect his cancer before it spread, what recovery taught him, and why looking healthy is not the same as being healthy. Cameron and Dr. Taz explore how functional health coaching helped him rethink nutrition, recovery, gut health, hormones, blood sugar, cortisol, sleep, and movement. Cameron also shares the personalized protocol he followed with professional guidance, how meditation became part of his healing, and why he now feels stronger and healthier in his 50s than he did at 30.

| Your Ovaries Control More Than Fertility: The Missing Link to Metabolism, Inflammation & Aging with Dr. Piraye Beim | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:57:15 | |
Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ Dr. Beim explains why the ovary should be understood as a metabolic, immune, and endocrine organ that communicates with tissues throughout the body. She reveals what may happen when ovarian function begins declining, why perimenopause can feel so sudden, and how those changes may influence weight, insulin signaling, inflammation, and healthy aging. The conversation also explores AMH and ovarian reserve, the overlooked 300-day process behind egg development, and the experimental treatments scientists are developing to regulate ovarian function and potentially extend ovarian health. Dr. Beim also shares practical ways women can support the ovarian function they have today, including reducing smoking and toxin exposure, managing inflammation, protecting sleep, getting appropriate morning light, exercising, and supporting metabolic health. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why ovarian health affects much more than fertility The AMH-mimicking treatment discussed in this conversation remains experimental and is still being developed. Dr. Taz and Dr. Beim also discuss PCOS, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, fertility treatments, and the overlooked 300-day process behind the development of an egg. Dr. Beim shares how Celmatix is developing an experimental therapy designed to mimic AMH and potentially regulate how quickly ovarian follicles are used over a woman’s lifetime. If you have struggled with fertility, PCOS, painful periods, perimenopause, menopause, unexplained weight changes, or low AMH, this conversation offers a new way to understand the connection between your ovaries and your overall health. The AMH-mimicking treatment discussed in this episode is still under development and has not been proven or approved to extend ovarian function in humans. About Dr. Piraye Beim: Dr. Piraye Beim is a reproductive biologist, women’s health innovator, and founder and CEO of Celmatix. For more than 20 years, she has worked to advance the scientific understanding of female biology, fertility, ovarian aging, and reproductive health.

Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ Your children do not just hear what you say. They can also sense your stress, anxiety, and emotional state. So how can parents regulate themselves before that stress spreads throughout the family?
Katherine shares how introducing meditation into her morning routine helped her feel calmer, become less reactive, and better handle whatever the day brings. She emphasizes that the solution will look different for every parent, whether it involves meditation, walking, exercising, asking for help, or simply creating a few quiet moments before the day begins. Dr. Taz and Katherine also discuss: • Why children often absorb and respond to their parents’ stress Katherine also shares how she and her husband, Chris Pratt, navigate parenting as a team. Rather than expecting each other to instinctively know what is needed, they focus on honest communication, regular check-ins, and clearly asking for support. If parenting sometimes leaves you feeling overstimulated, anxious, or stretched beyond your limits, this conversation is a reminder that you do not need to be a perfect parent. Finding your own calm, accepting help, and reconnecting with the people around you can create a positive ripple effect throughout your family.

| Dr. Judith Joseph: High-Functioning Depression, Anhedonia, and the Cost of Being the Strong One | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:54:14 | |
Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ What if being productive, successful, and dependable is not proof that you are okay, but the mask hiding how much you are struggling? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, board-certified psychiatrist and High Functioning author Dr. Judith Joseph explores the hidden patterns often described as high-functioning depression. These are the people who continue working, parenting, achieving, and caring for everyone around them, even while feeling emotionally empty inside. Dr. Joseph explains why depression does not always look like sadness, how anhedonia can leave you feeling disconnected from joy, and why people-pleasing often comes at the expense of your own mental and physical health.
• Validation: acknowledging and naming what you feel Dr. Taz and Dr. Joseph also discuss how culture shapes mental health, the effect of toxic relationships, nutritional psychiatry, why children and teenagers are struggling, and how families can create more open communication and emotional connection at home. If you are always “the strong one,” but privately feel exhausted, numb, or disconnected, this conversation may help you recognize what has been hiding beneath the surface.
Dr. Judith Joseph is a board-certified psychiatrist, researcher, speaker, and author who works across pediatric and adult mental health. She is the author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy, which explores the hidden emotional struggles experienced by people who appear successful and capable on the outside but feel numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. Through her clinical practice, research, speaking, and educational content, Dr. Judith focuses on making complex mental-health concepts understandable and helping people develop practical tools for greater emotional awareness, meaning, and joy.

| What Mammograms May Miss: What Every Woman Should Know About Breast Health and Early Detection with Jasmine Khorsandi | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:56:10 | |
Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, ultrasound sonographer and SonoBreasts founder Jasmine Khorsandi discusses dense breasts, automated whole-breast ultrasound, early detection, and the gaps she believes exist in conventional breast screening. Jasmine explains how SonoCiné automated whole-breast ultrasound captures thousands of images that are compiled into a moving view for review. She compares the experience with handheld ultrasound and mammography and explains why she advocates greater awareness of supplemental imaging, particularly for women with dense breast tissue. Dr. Taz shares her own experience of finding a lump and moving through a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy over six months before learning that the finding was benign. She and Jasmine discuss the anxiety, confusion, and logistical challenges women can encounter while navigating breast imaging. Jasmine also shares stories from her practice, including a young woman whose persistent breast pain led her to seek additional evaluation. She explains why women should learn what is normal for their breasts, pay attention to physical changes, understand their personal risk factors, and ask more informed questions about screening. The conversation expands beyond imaging to explore stress, burnout, emotional health, feminine energy, intuition, and community. Jasmine describes the physical burnout that forced her to change how she operated her business, accept help, and make more room for rest, spiritual practices, and connection. In this episode:

| Tamsen Fadal on the Menopause Symptoms Women Aren’t Warned About: Brain Fog, HRT, and Reclaiming Midlife | 20 Aug 2026 | 00:39:11 | |
Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ Tamsen Fadal was an experienced news anchor when heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fog left her on the bathroom floor of her newsroom. Despite spending decades in the media, she had no idea she was experiencing menopause.
Tamsen reflects on losing her mother to breast cancer and later realizing that her mother had experienced medical menopause following chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. Nearly 28 years separated their experiences, yet both women suffered without the information or support they needed. That realization inspired Tamsen to step away from a three-decade career in television journalism and devote her work to menopause education and advocacy. She explains how social media revealed the scale of the problem and gave women a place to share symptoms and experiences that had been ignored or dismissed. Dr. Taz and Tamsen also discuss the confusion surrounding hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized care, barriers to finding informed doctors, and the role telehealth may play in improving access. They explore how brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, and other symptoms can affect women’s confidence, careers, relationships, and sense of identity. Tamsen also shares the story behind The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. After being told there was no audience for a menopause documentary, Tamsen and her partners self-funded the project, brought together leading experts and women’s personal stories, and ultimately secured national distribution through PBS. The conversation turns toward reclaiming menopause as a powerful stage of life rather than a period of invisibility or decline. Tamsen discusses her book, How to Menopause, and the practical lifestyle changes that have helped her take better care of herself at 54. In this episode:
About Tamsen Fadal: Tamsen Fadal is a 13-time Emmy-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, podcaster, and menopause advocate.

| Why Women Shouldn’t Work Out Fasted: Cycle Syncing, Blood Sugar, and Hormones with Alisa Vitti | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:50:43 | |
Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if the fasting, workouts, and eating patterns that are supposed to improve your metabolism are actually working against your hormones? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, women’s hormone expert Alisa Vitti explains why women in their reproductive years have a second biological clock that most health and fitness advice completely ignores. Known as the infradian rhythm, this approximately month-long cycle affects metabolism, cortisol, immune function, brain activity, energy, appetite, and exercise performance. Alisa breaks down the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phases and explains how nutritional needs, metabolism, and stress tolerance change throughout the cycle. She shares how the Cycle Syncing Method can help women adjust their food, exercise, recovery, and daily routines to better support these biological changes. Dr. Taz and Alisa also challenge some of the most popular advice given to women about intermittent fasting and fasted exercise. Alisa explains why she believes women should fuel before working out, why glucose is needed to build lean muscle, and how combining carbohydrates with protein and fat may support blood sugar stability and workout performance. Alisa shares her personal experience with PCOS, maintaining a significant weight loss, losing additional body fat by eating more, and intentionally building muscle as she approaches 48. She explains why blood sugar regulation is the first step she recommends for women experiencing PMS, PCOS, infertility, fibroids, perimenopause, or other hormonal concerns. The conversation also explores progesterone, estrogen dominance, cortisol, HRT, ovarian aging, hot flashes, strength training, environmental exposures, and the habits that may help women protect their hormonal health throughout every stage of life. In this episode:

Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if chronic disease, declining energy, cognitive issues, and fertility challenges are not isolated problems, but signs of a deeper disconnection from the natural world? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Dr. Zach Bush explores the relationship between human health and the health of our environment. Drawing from his background in internal medicine, endocrinology, cancer research, and hospice care, he explains how his search for the root causes of disease led him from the hospital and laboratory to the microbiome, soil science, and regenerative agriculture. Dr. Bush describes mitochondria as essential generators of cellular energy and explains how the microbes living within and around us help support metabolism, immunity, neurological function, and communication throughout the body. He shares his perspective on how chemical agriculture, declining biodiversity, and changes in our food systems may be affecting these biological relationships. Dr. Taz and Dr. Bush also discuss the rise of obesity, insulin resistance, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Dr. Bush presents his theory that these conditions may be connected through a broader decline in metabolic energy and our increasing separation from nature. The conversation ultimately turns toward hope and practical action. Dr. Bush explains why restoring soil, supporting regenerative farmers, growing food, strengthening local communities, and spending more time in direct contact with nature may help rebuild both human and planetary health. He also shares how something as simple as growing a mint plant can begin restoring a family’s relationship with living food. In this episode:

She explains what it meant to become the CEO of her health, find doctors she trusted, explore integrative care, and change her relationship with food and her body. But Kris’s biggest turning point came about 10 years into her journey. Despite good scans and a thriving career, she realized she still felt like a failure because she had not made cancer disappear. That moment led her to distinguish between curing and healing, and to begin caring for her mind and emotional life as intentionally as she cared for her physical body. Kris and Dr. Taz discuss grief, fear, anger, trauma, perimenopause, gut health, stress, supplement overwhelm, and the five foundational wellness pillars that can make healthy living feel more practical and accessible.

Join The Circle (use code PODCAST): ➡️ https://holplus.co/circle/ In this episode of Hol+, Dr. Taz examines what she calls the modern cortisol crisis and explains how chronic stress can affect the body far beyond your emotional health. You’ll learn how cortisol is supposed to rise and fall throughout the day, what can happen when that rhythm becomes disrupted, and why screens, artificial light, processed foods, caffeine, overscheduling, isolation, and poor sleep may keep the body in a prolonged stress response. Dr. Taz also walks through four commonly described stages of cortisol dysregulation, from elevated daytime cortisol to feeling wired at night and eventually completely depleted. She explains how cortisol may interact with blood sugar, weight, inflammation, reproductive hormones, thyroid function, mood, and cognitive health. The episode concludes with practical ways to support a healthier stress response through consistent sleep, morning light, balanced meals, nutrient support, time in nature, intentional recovery, and stronger family connection. In this episode: How cortisol functions as part of the stress response The symptoms discussed in this episode can have many possible causes. “Adrenal fatigue” is not recognized as a formal diagnosis by major conventional medical organizations.

| How Grief Affects the Body: Physical Symptoms, the 6 Stages of Grief, and Finding Meaning After Loss with David Kessler | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:54:21 | |
Can grief cause physical symptoms? Learn how loss may affect cortisol, inflammation, hormone balance, heart health, sleep, energy, and the nervous system. Grief is not only an emotional experience. It can affect the brain and body, yet many people feel pressured to stay strong, move on, or process their loss alone. In this episode, grief expert David Kessler explains what grief does to us physically and emotionally, why grief must be witnessed, and how meaningful healing can begin. We explore the five stages of grief, why they are not linear, and the misconceptions surrounding denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. David also shares how losing his 21-year-old son led him to identify meaning as the sixth stage of grief and explains why meaning is not found in the tragedy itself, but in what we choose to do afterward. David and Dr. Taz discuss the physical symptoms of grief, broken heart syndrome, post-traumatic growth, isolation, grief in men, and what to say when someone you love is grieving. They also explain why grief can result from divorce, betrayal, job loss, illness, lost identity, or the loss of the future you expected, not only the death of a loved one. This conversation is for educational purposes and should not replace individualized medical or mental health care. Chest pain and other concerning physical symptoms should always be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.

What if breast cancer risk is not determined only by your genes or family history? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with double board-certified breast cancer surgeon and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Kristi Funk to discuss why breast cancer is becoming more common, especially among younger women, and what women can do to better understand and potentially reduce their risk. Dr. Funk explains why 95% of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a BRCA mutation and why 87% do not have a first-degree relative with the disease. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Funk explore how food, alcohol, exercise, body weight, stress, inflammation, environmental toxins, sleep, and hormone therapy may influence breast health. They also break down some of the most confusing questions surrounding breast cancer screening and treatment. Do mammograms cause cancer? Is ultrasound a good alternative? When should women begin breast exams? Are some cases of stage zero breast cancer being overtreated? And how much does menopause hormone therapy actually increase breast cancer risk?

| The Testosterone Problem in Men: Dr. Brandon Smith on Low T, Sleep Apnea, TRT & What Men Need to Know | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:43:12 | |
What happens when men’s health gets reduced to one testosterone number? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Brandon Smith, MD, a conventionally trained physician practicing at hol+, for a practical and eye-opening conversation about men’s health, low testosterone, sleep apnea, TRT, GLP-1s, muscle, stress, hormones, and why so many men are waiting too long to get proactive about their health. Together, they explore why men’s health needs a reframe, especially in a medical culture where many men are taught to only go to the doctor when something is clearly broken. Dr. Smith shares what he sees in the exam room, from younger men asking about testosterone before starting a family, to men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s realizing they have spent years pushing through fatigue, stress, brain fog, weight changes, low libido, poor sleep, or changes in performance without knowing where to start. Dr. Taz and Dr. Smith also unpack why low testosterone is not always a simple testosterone problem. Dr. Smith explains the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone, why one lab number is only a snapshot, why testosterone can fluctuate throughout the day, and why morning testing matters. They also discuss why symptoms, context, body composition, sleep, stress, inflammation, chronic illness, and lifestyle all need to be part of the conversation before jumping straight to testosterone therapy. This conversation takes a closer look at one of the most overlooked drivers of low testosterone: sleep apnea. Dr. Smith explains why disrupted sleep can create a stress signal in the body, why men may not realize they are waking up throughout the night, and why the body may lower reproductive hormones when it does not feel safe, rested, or recovered. They also discuss how fasting, chronic stress, high cortisol, poor recovery, and underlying medical conditions can affect hormone levels. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Men’s health is not just about testosterone, TRT, libido, or muscle. It is shaped by sleep, stress, metabolism, body composition, inflammation, blood sugar, chronic illness, movement, recovery, hormone signaling, and the way men are often conditioned to ignore symptoms until they become impossible to avoid. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Dr. Smith look at men’s health through a whole-body lens, where the goal is not just replacing a number, but understanding why the body is responding the way it is. Learn more about support related to this conversation: Hormone Imbalance: Dr. Smith shares why most testosterone deficiency is often secondary, meaning the issue may not start in the testes, but in the brain’s signal to the testes. He explains how sleep apnea, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, infections, stress, and poor recovery can all push testosterone levels down. He also explains why a more complete workup may include LH, FSH, sleep history, body composition, lifestyle patterns, symptoms, and a deeper look at what is getting in the way of healthy hormone signaling. Dr. Taz and Dr. Smith also discuss the different approaches men may hear about, including testosterone injections, creams, pellets, Clomid, lifestyle changes, and GLP-1 medications. Dr. Smith explains why the right path depends on the individual, including whether the biggest barrier is sleep, weight, joint pain, libido, motivation, metabolic health, or body composition. They also discuss why strength training, muscle mass, and movement are essential parts of the men’s health conversation, especially for long-term resilience and aging. If you are navigating low testosterone, low libido, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, sleep apnea, high stress, low motivation, muscle loss, GLP-1 questions, TRT decisions, or the feeling that something is off but you are not sure what to test first, this episode offers a more complete way to understand what your body may be trying to tell you.

| Chinese Medicine Explained: Dr. Jordan Barber on Qi, Acupuncture, Herbs & Why Personalization Matters | 23 Jun 2026 | 01:00:39 | |
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a different way to understand the body, especially when it comes to chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, stress, digestion, anxiety, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, and unexplained symptoms. In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Jordan Barber, clinician, educator, published researcher, licensed acupuncturist, and author of Thinking in Chinese Medicine: A Patient’s Guide to Acupuncture, Herbs, and Healing, for a grounded conversation about what Chinese medicine actually is, why it has been misunderstood in the West, and how it can help us see chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, stress, symptoms, and whole-body health through a more connected lens. Together, they explore why Chinese medicine is not just acupuncture, herbs, or “energy work,” but a way of thinking. Dr. Barber explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the whole person, including sleep, digestion, emotions, stress, relationships, movement, pain patterns, and the way someone experiences life. He also breaks down how the word qi became simplified into “energy,” why that translation can be misleading, and why Chinese medicine is often more practical, physiological, and science-informed than many people realize. Dr. Barber shares his own path into Chinese medicine after working in IT, living through 9/11 in New York City, and experiencing chronic health issues that conventional care did not resolve. After trying acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and dietary changes, he saw a major improvement in his recurring sinus issues and began to understand health through a completely different framework. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “My symptoms feel connected, but no one is helping me connect the dots,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Chinese medicine is not just about needles. It is about patterns, relationships, the nervous system, circulation, metabolism, pain signals, emotional stress, and the body’s ability to return to balance. In this conversation, Dr. Taz and Dr. Barber discuss why chronic disease is often connected to the mind, why stress can reshape the body, and why patient agency is such a central part of healing. They also explore how Chinese medicine approaches chronic pain, including biomechanics, inflammation, central sensitization, scar tissue, nerve entrapment, neuromodulation, dry needling, electroacupuncture, and vagus nerve stimulation. Dr. Barber explains how acupuncture may help regulate pain signals and support the body’s ability to shift out of a chronic stress state. Dr. Taz and Dr. Barber also take a deeper look at pelvic floor dysfunction, a condition that can affect both women and men in ways many people do not recognize. They discuss hidden signs such as urinary leaking, pelvic pain, pain after bowel movements, tailbone pain, hip pain, back pain, erectile dysfunction, painful sex, and symptoms that may be dismissed or misunderstood for years. This episode also explores why TikTok herbal advice can be risky, why Chinese herbs should be personalized, and why the question “What are the best Chinese herbs?” is often the wrong place to start. Dr. Barber explains why ginger may help one person and aggravate another, why formulas are traditionally customized, and why Chinese medicine has always been rooted in matching the treatment to the person. If you are navigating chronic pain, pelvic floor symptoms, stress, nervous system dysregulation, digestive issues, unexplained symptoms, or curiosity about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this episode offers a grounded, science-informed, and deeply practical way to understand what your body may be trying to communicate.

| The No. 1 Rising Cancer in Women: Dr. Kemi Doll on Uterine Cancer, Fibroids, HRT & What Women Need to Know | 16 Jun 2026 | 01:03:53 | |
What happens when the womb is treated as separate from the rest of women’s health? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll, double board-certified gynecologic oncologist, equity scientist, researcher, coach, and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, for a powerful conversation about womb health, uterine cancer, fibroids, HRT, health equity, and why so many women are still being taught to normalize symptoms that deserve care. Together, they explore why womb health is not only about pregnancy, fertility, or menopause, but a lifelong part of women’s physical, emotional, hormonal, and whole-body health. Dr. Doll shares how her grandmother’s death in childbirth, her mother’s near-death experience, and her own work as a gynecologic cancer surgeon shaped her mission to bring the uterus back into the center of women’s health. Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also discuss why uterine cancer is rising, why Black women are twice as likely to die after a uterine cancer diagnosis, and how gaps in research, screening, and diagnostic tools may leave women of color especially vulnerable. They unpack the role of ultrasound, endometrial thickness, post-menopausal bleeding, and why women need clearer conversations with their providers when something feels off. This conversation also takes a closer look at the explosion of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, and the questions every woman with a uterus should be asking. Dr. Doll explains why estrogen without proper progesterone protection can increase uterine cancer risk, why some women may not understand the role progesterone plays, and why monitoring the uterus matters when using hormones. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Womb health is not just about periods, pregnancy, fibroids, or menopause. It is shaped by hormones, stress, inflammation, medical history, race, research gaps, diagnostic bias, body literacy, emotional suppression, and the way women are taught to silence or normalize pain. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll look at the womb as a vital part of women’s health that deserves attention across every stage of life. Learn more about support related to this conversation: Dr. Doll shares why fibroids often begin earlier and become more severe for Black women, why many women are not believed until symptoms become unbearable, and how chronic stress, anger suppression, vitamin D deficiency, and delayed care can all become part of a larger womb health crisis. She also explains why some women may still have options beyond surgery, while others need honest, compassionate conversations about myomectomy, hysterectomy, fertility preservation, and quality of life. Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also explore the connection between traditional medicine, Chinese medicine, science, and what Dr. Doll calls “womb suffering.” They discuss why women need better language for their symptoms, why bringing an advocate to medical appointments can help, and why prioritizing your womb in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond may change the trajectory of your health. If you are navigating fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, pelvic pain, post-menopausal bleeding, HRT, menopause, hysterectomy decisions, fertility concerns, or the feeling that your symptoms have been dismissed, this episode offers validation, education, and a deeper way to understand what your body may be trying to tell you.

| 36 Doctors Missed It: Amy Kurtz on Lyme Disease, Medical Trauma Brain & Healing After Chronic Illness | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:57:57 | |
What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal. Together, they explore Amy’s 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself. Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system. This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.
Healing is not only physical. It is shaped by the nervous system, emotional safety, medical experiences, self-trust, community, trauma, hormones, inflammation, and the way the body and mind learn to feel safe again. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Amy look at healing as a whole-person process, especially for people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told “but you look fine.” Learn more about support related to this conversation: Amy shares why chronic illness can create an “illness after the illness,” why recovery often brings up grief, and why so many patients feel lost once they are expected to simply get back to normal. She explains how Medical Trauma Brain can show up as fear of relapse, obsessive symptom checking, anxiety, hypervigilance, and feeling physically better but emotionally stuck in survival mode. Dr. Taz and Amy also explore the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, why patients need to feel believed, and how reclaiming agency can become a central part of healing. They discuss practical tools for calming the nervous system, including orienting, CBT-based stress checks, walking, rest, breathwork, meditation, exercise, and learning to pause before reacting to every internal alarm. If you are navigating chronic illness, Lyme disease, invisible symptoms, medical gaslighting, nervous system dysregulation, fear of getting sick again, or the emotional aftermath of a long health journey, this episode offers language, validation, and practical tools to begin rebuilding trust with your body.

| How to Rebuild Intimacy in Long-Term Relationships: Caitlin V on Sex, Hormones, Communication & Connection | 02 Jun 2026 | 01:04:16 | |
What does it really take to keep intimacy alive after years together? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Caitlin V, sexologist, educator, coach, author, and host of Good Sex, for a candid conversation about sex, connection, hormones, communication, and the relationship patterns that quietly shape long-term intimacy. Together, they explore why many couples start to feel disconnected over time, especially through the pressures of marriage, parenting, midlife, stress, changing bodies, shifting hormones, and unspoken resentment. Caitlin explains why intimacy is not something couples are simply supposed to “know how to do,” and why learning to talk about sex, desire, needs, and repair can completely change the direction of a relationship. Dr. Taz and Caitlin also discuss the role of men’s health, testosterone, cortisol, perimenopause, menopause, performance pressure, emotional shutdown, and the invisible load that many women carry. They unpack why both men and women can check out of a relationship, how resentment builds, and why emotional distance is often one of the earliest signs that a couple needs support. This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at how couples can rebuild closeness, not through pressure or blame, but through communication, curiosity, physical connection, appreciation, and a willingness to keep learning each other. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Intimacy is not only about sex. It is shaped by hormones, nervous system stress, emotional safety, communication patterns, body changes, desire, identity, and the way partners repair after disconnection. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Caitlin look at intimacy as a vital part of health and partnership, especially during midlife and beyond. Learn more about support related to this conversation:
Dr. Taz and Caitlin also explore the pressures men often face around masculinity, performance, sexual confidence, and providing, as well as the ways women can support connection without shrinking themselves or taking on all the emotional labor. The result is a more balanced conversation about how both partners can participate in rebuilding intimacy together. If you are navigating changes in desire, emotional distance, midlife hormone shifts, stress, resentment, communication breakdowns, or the feeling that your relationship needs more intentional care, this episode offers language, perspective, and practical tools to begin repairing connection.

| How to Exercise in Midlife Without Burnout: Strength, Cardio, Pelvic Floor & Hormones with Megan Roup | 26 May 2026 | 00:55:41 | |
What if the best workout for your body is not the hardest one, but the one you can actually keep showing up for? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Megan Roup, founder of The Sculpt Society, celebrity trainer, mother, former professional dancer, and creator of a movement method designed to help women build strength, confidence, and consistency without burnout. Together, they explore why so many women feel overwhelmed by midlife fitness advice, especially around strength training, cardio, cortisol, pelvic floor health, menopause, and body composition. Megan shares why extreme, all-or-nothing workout plans often fail women in real life, especially during midlife when hormones, sleep, stress, family responsibilities, and energy levels are constantly shifting. She explains how shorter, well-programmed workouts can still support muscle, bone density, cardiovascular health, mobility, and emotional well-being. Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss pelvic floor function, progressive overload, cardio myths, GLP-1 medications, body image, intuitive movement, and why body confidence does not come from being thin. Megan offers a more realistic, joyful, and sustainable way to think about movement as medicine, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, postpartum recovery, and the constant transitions of life. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like fitness became another source of pressure instead of a path back to themselves.
Learn more about support related to this conversation: Megan also explains why cardio still matters, why pelvic floor release is just as important as pelvic floor activation, how progressive overload actually works, and why women should not abandon movement just because they are naturally thin, on a GLP-1 medication, or not trying to lose weight. She also shares how tools like sleep, energy, HRV, and readiness scores can help women choose the right workout for the right day. Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss body neutrality, intuitive eating, food freedom, postpartum recovery, cycle syncing, and how women can stop using movement as punishment and start using it as medicine. They explore why thinness does not equal confidence, why body image struggles can show up at every stage of life, and why daughters are watching the way women talk about their bodies. If you struggle with all-or-nothing workouts, midlife weight changes, high cortisol, body image pressure, pelvic floor concerns, menopause fitness confusion, fear of strength training, or feeling like fitness has become one more thing to “get right,” this episode will help you find a more realistic and supportive path forward.

| Your Attachment Style Is Running Your Relationships: Thais Gibson on Core Wounds, Ghosting & Rewiring Your Subconscious Mind | 19 May 2026 | 00:59:49 | |
What if the patterns in your relationships are not just about communication, compatibility, or choosing the wrong person, but subconscious wounds your nervous system learned years ago? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Thais Gibson, PhD, bestselling author, counselor, speaker, attachment theory expert, and founder of The Personal Development School, to explore how attachment styles, childhood conditioning, core wounds, subconscious programming, and nervous system regulation shape the way we love, fight, connect, and pull away. In this episode, Thais explains why the conscious mind often cannot overpower the subconscious mind, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns even when they know better. She breaks down the four attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant, and explains how each style can show up in adult relationships, dating, marriage, family dynamics, conflict, ghosting, love bombing, emotional shutdown, clinginess, and the painful push-pull cycle. Dr. Taz and Thais discuss why affirmations may not be enough to heal deep core wounds, why the subconscious mind responds more to emotion and imagery than language, and how childhood experiences can become the lens through which we interpret adult relationships. Thais also shares a practical 21-day rewiring exercise using memory, emotion, visualization, and repetition to help shift core wounds like abandonment, betrayal, shame, unworthiness, and fear of being trapped.

| Your Genes Are Lying to You: Dr. Florence Comite on Longevity, Sleep & the Biomarkers That Predict How Fast You Age | 12 May 2026 | 00:52:11 | |
What if your genes are not your destiny, but a set of clues your body has been giving you all along? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Florence Comite, endocrinologist, clinician scientist, longevity expert, and author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, to explore how biomarkers, genetics, hormones, sleep, metabolism, and family history shape the way we age. In this episode, Dr. Comite explains why longevity is not just about biohacking, supplements, peptides, or the latest wellness trend. Instead, she shares why true healthspan begins with understanding your own body, your own patterns, and your own family story. She explains how changes in blood sugar, fasting insulin, free testosterone, cholesterol risk ratio, sleep quality, muscle, and metabolism can reveal early signs of disease risk long before symptoms fully appear. Dr. Taz and Dr. Comite discuss why “normal” lab ranges are not always the same as optimal health, why some people begin showing signs of metabolic disease decades earlier than expected, and how family history can act as a powerful roadmap for prevention. They also explore how genetics, lifestyle, hormones, wearables, continuous glucose monitoring, sleep, movement, protein, and personalized medicine may help people change the trajectory of their future health. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Longevity is not just a biohacking story. It is a family story.

| Toxic Friendships, Social Rejection, and the Hidden Health Cost of Mom Groups - Ericka Sóuter on Motherhood, Connection & Emotional Wellbeing | 05 May 2026 | 01:00:37 | |
What if the stress you feel around certain friendships is not just emotional, but something your body is carrying too? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Ericka Sóuter, journalist and author of How to Have a Kid and a Life: A Survival Guide to explore the hidden health impact of toxic friendships, toxic mom groups, social rejection, motherhood, loneliness, and the deep need for real connection. In this episode, Ericka explains why toxic female friendships can leave women feeling anxious, rejected, drained, and unsure of themselves, and how social rejection can activate the same neural pathways as physical pain. She shares how these dynamics often begin early in girlhood, continue into adulthood, and become even more complicated when motherhood raises the stakes of belonging. Ericka and Dr. Taz discuss why so many women stay in social groups that do not feel good, often because of proximity, fear of rejection, their children’s friendships, school communities, social pressure, or the emotional cost of leaving. They also explore the different roles that show up inside toxic groups, including the queen bee, flying monkey, emotional arsonist, silent stabilizer, and disruptor. Trying to conceive?

| Why Men Don’t Talk About Their Pain - Men’s Health, Emotional Repression, and the Hidden Cost of Silence - Fortunate Sons Creators on Trauma, Addiction & Healing | Peter Jones & John Bard Manulis | 28 Apr 2026 | 00:58:20 | |
What if the pain men carry is not always obvious, but quietly shaping their health, relationships, addiction patterns, and ability to feel connected? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with producer John Bard Manulis and Emmy-winning filmmaker Peter Jones, creators of Fortunate Sons, a documentary following the 1974 class of Harvard School for Boys, to explore men’s emotional repression, family secrets, addiction, father wounds, vulnerability, and the healing power of honest conversation. In this episode, John and Peter share how a group of former classmates reconnected during the pandemic and began having conversations they were never taught to have as boys. Raised in a culture of achievement, leadership, privilege, silence, and emotional control, many of these men went on to experience depression, addiction, burnout, broken relationships, hidden family trauma, and deep personal reckoning. The conversation explores how emotional repression can show up through addiction, anxiety, depression, inflammation, cortisol dysregulation, hormone changes, disease patterns, and disconnection from the self and others. Dr. Taz connects these patterns to the broader conversation around men’s health, family health, and the physical cost of keeping pain buried for too long. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body or my family system, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Healing is not just about fixing symptoms. It is about understanding the deeper patterns beneath them, including shame, stress, emotional suppression, addiction, family secrets, unresolved trauma, nervous system dysregulation, trust, boundaries, and the ability to be honest in the presence of people who can truly listen. Learn more about support related to this conversation:
If you’ve ever loved a man who shuts down, worried about a son, struggled with addiction in your family, carried unspoken pain, or wondered why men often suffer in silence, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, we cover:
This is not just about men opening up. It is about understanding the hidden emotional architecture beneath men’s health, addiction, family dynamics, and generational pain, and remembering that healing often begins when someone feels safe enough to tell the truth.
Peter Jones is an Emmy-winning filmmaker whose work includes documentaries, television projects, and storytelling centered on people, history, and identity. After making Fortunate Sons, he began pursuing a master’s degree in psychology, inspired by the healing power of listening and helping others find their voice. John Bard Manulis is a producer and filmmaker whose work with Fortunate Sons has helped bring the documentary into communities, schools, nonprofits, churches, and family systems as a tool for meaningful conversations around men’s emotional health.

| Energy Medicine, Nervous System Healing, and the Body’s Hidden Signals - Dr. Sue Morter on Bioenergetics, Breathwork & Self-Healing | 21 Apr 2026 | 00:56:58 | |
What if the symptoms you feel in your body are not random, but signals of something deeper happening in your energy system? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Sue Morter, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening, to explore how energy medicine connects to the nervous system, chronic stress, emotional patterns, and the body’s ability to heal. In this episode Dr. Sue explains how energetic blockages can show up as a lump in the throat, tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, chronic tension, anxiety, digestive issues, allergies, pain patterns, and other symptoms that often appear disconnected from the deeper root cause. Dr. Sue shares how the flow of energy through the body acts like a master system, influencing the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the body’s self-regulating capacity. When that flow becomes blocked by unresolved emotions, survival patterns, stress, fear, or disconnection from the self, the body may move into dysregulation and lose access to its natural healing intelligence. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Healing is not just about treating symptoms. It is about understanding the deeper patterns beneath them, including stress, emotional suppression, nervous system dysregulation, breath, posture, self-compassion, and the relationship you have with your own body.
Dr. Taz and Dr. Sue also discuss why affirmations and manifestation practices may not work if they are coming from the protective or performing personality, why posture and breath can help shift the body into a different state, and how reconnecting with the true self can open the door to healing, creativity, safety, and wholeness. If you’ve ever felt stuck in chronic stress, disconnected from your body, frustrated by symptoms that don’t fully resolve, or curious about the connection between energy, emotions, and physical health, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, we cover:
This is not just about energy healing.

| Weight Health, GLP-1s, and the Gut Connection - Ashley Koff RD on Metabolic Health, Food Noise & Hormones | 14 Apr 2026 | 01:06:35 | |
What if weight loss has never been the right goal in the first place? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD, author of Your Best Shot, to unpack why the conversation around GLP-1 medications is much bigger than Ozempic, Wegovy, or tirzepatide alone.
Learn more about support related to this conversation: Dr. Taz and Ashley also discuss when GLP-1 medications may be useful, why low dose use is often misunderstood as “microdosing,” the importance of preserving muscle and digestion while using these medications, and why a truly personalized, holistic plan matters far more than chasing a number on the scale. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by belly fat, food noise, weight regain, or confusing lab results that say everything is “fine” when you know it’s not, this episode will help you understand what may actually be going on.
