SHE Talks Health | Thyroid Health Tips, Functional Medicine, Hashimoto's, Hypothyroidism, Gut Health, Hormones, Holistic Healing – Details, episodes & analysis

Today, we have an exciting topic lined up for you — magnesium. Yes, that essential mineral that our bodies need in so many ways! In this Thyroid Thursday Q&A, we're going to explore why magnesium is so vital for your health. We'll dive into the specifics of what magnesium does in the body, including its role in hundreds of enzymatic and biochemical reactions.

I'll also cover the best forms of magnesium you can incorporate into your diet and how much you should be aiming to get each day. Magnesium is one of my favorite minerals, and it's tied with potassium in terms of the benefits it offers. In this episode, you'll learn why I hold this mineral in such high regard as an essential mineral for supporting our overall health.

If you have a question you’d like me to discuss on the next Thyroid Thursday, please email me at podcast@shetalkshealth.com or sophie@shetalkshealth.com or DM me on Instagram @shetalkshealth. Enjoy this short and sweet episode of Thyroid Thursday!

Welcome back to another episode of the She Talks Health podcast! I’m thrilled to bring you a conversation with Ricardo Miranda, CEO of MTHFRdoctors.com, where we get to nerd out about the MTHFR gene and how much it affects different functions in the body. We dive deep into MTHFR gene mutations, and its significant impact on health conditions like thyroid disease, anxiety, cortisol, and detoxification issues. 

Ricardo shares his knowledge on how the MTHFR gene controls our body’s ability to break down folate, and the importance of distinguishing between folate and folic acid. We discuss how these MTHFR genetic mutations can be tested, what the results might mean for your health, and practical steps you can take to support your methylation process. 

If you’ve been diagnosed with a thyroid condition or are dealing with symptoms like anxiety, brain fog, or insomnia, or simply want to understand your genetic blueprint better, this episode is packed with in-depth explanations behind the correlation between methylation, detoxification, and gene expression. 

Understanding and testing your MTHFR function can provide critical information to manage your health more effectively. Don’t miss out on this science-y conversation that could be a game-changer for your wellness journey.

Every woman in my practice has a messed up gut - whether it presents itself as GI upset symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, pain, bloating, gas or equally as often, it presents as a downstream symptom like migraines, brain fog, joint paint, heavy menstrual cycles, autoimmunity, insulin resistance and weight gain.

Gut health is the root cause of many symptoms and diseases - to discuss this insane interplay I've invited none other than Kimberly Kaye onto the show. As a survivor of a deadly chronic illness she is truly a walking example of how integrative nutrition and functional medicine can reverse even the most dire situations.

10% of ALL women have PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It is the most common female endocrine disorder and the #1 cause of infertility. Once a woman has PCOS it can set off a cascade of issues - NOT JUST REPRODUCTIVE.

This syndrome can cause acne, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disease and heart disease. There is A LOT of mis-information, over medication and lack of education about PCOS which is why I asked Dr. Felice Gersh to come talk to you about it.

Dr. Gersh is quite literally one of a kind, as a fellowship-trained, double board-certified Integrative OB-GYN. She uses the best of lifestyle, nutrition, targeted supplementation, acupuncture, massage, IV therapies, mind body medicine and exercise in her practice.

Check out her books:

• PCOS SOS https://integrativemgi.com/about-dr-felice-gersh/pcos-sos/ PCOS
• SOS Fertility Fast Track https://integrativemgi.com/about-dr-felice-gersh/pcos-sos-fertility-fast-track/

Autoimmune disease is a silent epidemic that currently affects approximately 50 million Americans, 80% of which ARE WOMEN. More women are diagnosed each year with an autoimmune disease than breast cancer and cardiovascular disease combined.

World wide, Europeans and Scandinavians are already at the rate as Americans. Autoimmune disease occurs when the body’s immune system becomes misdirected and attacks the organs it was designed to protect.

In this episode we dive into how the body starts to attack itself, aka the ROOT CAUSES of Autoimmunity, why it affects women more than men and how my guest & I go far beyond managing our Autoimmune Disease.

We are both THRIVING and now teaching others how to thrive even when you’ve been told, “You will have this forever, there’s nothing you can do about it”. If you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and are interested in lifestyle interventions THIS IS YOUR EPISODE.

How does the modern woman navigate a Health-FULL life? COVID-19 has shown the world that your health is not a cost, it’s investment and you have to make it - but where do you start?

With diet alone there are proponents for seemingly opposite philosophy’s from vegan diets to carnivore diets. And we can’t stop with the food we put in our mouth - health goes far beyond diet alone.

In today’s episode we dive in deep with Paleo f(x)™ co-founder, Michelle Norris, to hear her philosophy on the 7 pillars of health. If you are exhausted, bloated, overweight, not sleeping, having mood swings, awful periods, acne breakouts, aches and pains - these are the signs of DIS-EASE. Tune in to learn how to turn dis-ease into health.

Solutions for women’s reproductive & sexual health is a growing business because unfortunately there is a growing demand due to the overwhelming amount of women’s health issues. From infertility, to menstruation, birth control, pregnancy, menopause, a woman’s body goes through incredible changes throughout her lifetime. Sometimes these changes and symptoms like incontinence, menstrual cycle issues and weight gain can really mess with our day to day life.

The upside is that there are dozens and dozens of Vagipreneurs creating solutions for these big problems and sharing them with the world.

In this episode we talk to an expert on the business of women’s sexual health & reproductive health. Throughout her career of championing women’s health, she has worked with an impressive list of FemTech and SexTech companies that offer help, support, devices and tools to improve women’s quality of life! We’ll be going through some of these innovative resources created for women, by women.

Ladies, your pain is valid and although common, excessive period pain is NOT something you have to put up with every month for half your life.

I work with women all over the world who come to me because they have been told it’s normal to suffer every month to the point where they are doubled over in pain, nauseous, vomiting and have to reschedule their lives around when they are menstruating. Well enough is enough.

In this episode we dive deep into period pain, where it comes from and what YOU can do about it. Because you are listeners of this radio show, I was able to negotiate 10% off of Elix’s herbal medicine to menstrual health.

To claim your 10% of my favorite period pain support go to https://bit.ly/3cxt4ZJ and type in SHE10 at checkout.

Ever wonder “WHY CAN’T I LOSE WEIGHT- I’m exercising, I’m eating well, I’m sleeping, I’m managing stress why isn't the weight coming off??” Or why YOU can drink the same amount of wine as your friend but you end up with a hangover? How come you have frustrating hormonal conditions and symptoms when your friends barely notice their period coning?

I have brought on an EXPERT in Genetics to explain how much our genes have to say about how these traits show up in our lives AND what YOU can do about it.
