| Bio-Hacking Longevity with Deuterium-Depleted Water, CEO and Founder of LiteWater, Victor Sagalovsky | 11 Sep 2024 | 00:52:04 | |
Humans are so full of water that we are like a walking ocean, but did you know that the water inside of us may be prematurely aging us too? Victor explains that this is because deuterium, a heavier form of hydrogen that has been proven to shorten lifespans, is found in most water. After researching deuterium’s effects for decades and visiting communities where people drinking water without deuterium enjoyed a longer lifespan, Victor concludes that deuterium is key to aging and should even be classified as a disease. Those in the blue zone may encounter less deuterium, but it’s their daily longevity habits that supercharge their ability to ward off its effects. Because they feel safe, not stressed, and have a strong sense of belonging, their parasympathetic nervous system tends to be more activated. Victor offers fascinating insights into quantum entanglement, water as a universal consciousness, and the intelligence of this amazing substance. He sheds light on deuterium’s origin and how it came to play the role on earth that it does today. If you’re interested in naturally boosting your energy levels, don’t miss this episode.

| The Importance of Oral Health and Habits on Your Health with Jessica Lederhausen | 15 Jul 2024 | 00:30:27 | |
Your health starts in your mouth. Jessica shares her expertise as a former dentist, oral health expert and health coach, highlighting how oral health impacts your overall health. You may have heard of leaky gut, but are you familiar with leaky mouth? Your mouth has a microbiome just like your gut. Jessica offers practical tips about eating habits that allow saliva to do its job correctly and her other pillars for maintaining excellent health, sleep, breathing, and movement. Oral bacteria infection impacts your brain and heart health, and prioritizing the mouth is just as important as prioritizing good sleep. Jessica shares her unique perspective as a Swede living in the USA and how the cultures differ around eating. We discuss the American phenomenon of snacking and how the digestive system, along with the microbiome of the mouth, prefers time in between meals and eating to reset for optimal function and health. The functional nutrition rhythm is eat, digest, rest. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.

| Redefine Aging with an Original Biohacker, Marie Helene Roussell | 25 Jun 2024 | 00:32:13 | |
Marie Helene is a true innovator in the wellness space. We discuss Marie Helene’s early years working in dolphin rebirthing therapy. Part of the healing comes from the environment of being in the water, which is like being in the womb. There are so many lessons communicated through nature that are not available in most normal modern environments. Wild environments truly bring wild experiences! Dolphins aren’t always immediately available, of course, and we discuss an immediately accessible technique for reconnecting with nature called the sit spot. Reconnecting with nature is essential to reconnect with our essence. This is the path to aging with grace and part of Helene Marie’s mission to re-educate people about aging. Instead of experiencing aging as approaching the end of life, it’s the time when we can experience the most beautiful aspects of life and expand into who we’ve always wanted to be. Marie shares a powerful practice for redefining your purpose and bringing your real motivations to the surface so they can be celebrated or worked on. Attitude is everything when it comes to aging, and I hope this episode inspires you to lean into your age, whatever that may be! Special thanks to listener GabyUSA10 for their five-star review and tuning in each week!

| Celebrating the Life Cycle of a Woman with Amy Boyle | 06 Jun 2024 | 00:24:40 | |
After catching up with my friend Amy Boyle recently, whom I’ve known since 2010, I felt compelled to share her full circle story and how it relates to a woman’s lifecycle. Amy’s story reminds me of how remarkable women are. At every stage, from mom to caregiver, from artist to teacher, from professional to being in service, women have the capacity to shapeshift to whatever situation presents at any given time. Amy vulnerably shares how the experience of caring for her mother as she prepared to transition became a treasured gift of service. Instead of halting her career or fighting what was happening, she simply allowed its trajectory to shapeshift. There’s so much wisdom in allowing for life’s great unfoldings. As a photographer, Amy recalls that the lens is an extension of her heart. Through it, she sees and captures the goodness, beauty, energy, and spark of the world. Her vision is contagious! She then walks us through how she decided to take a leap into journalism, first as a student and now as a teacher. The story of the courage and curiosity that runs through Amy’s family, from her mother to her son, will warm your heart. Don’t miss this positivity boost! If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends. We are jugglers, seers, and feelers. We are shapeshifting experts, and our bodies are literally designed to expand, contract, give birth, and repeat.

| Resilience: Navigating Stress in the Modern World with Katie Richardson | 15 May 2024 | 00:47:24 | |
When was the last time you felt stressed out? How about real inner ease? Katie Richardson joins me on Vitally You® to talk about how we can feel at ease in stressful situations. Today’s episode marks the beginning of Vitally You® conversations around building resilience, calm, and inner ease. Stress isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it is when allowed to stay past it’s welcome.

Katie tells the story of how she took hold of her life and business piece by piece, learning to intentionally create herself. Her experiences in business, moving around the world, and as a busy mother have shown her that in order to move forward in our lives, we must establish the truth of our present reality. By walking toward what feels scary or sticky, we become someone stronger and changed in the process, and that’s where the real magic of growth lives!

| Poetry and Life with Michelle Delaine Williams, Author "Good Work for Small Hands" | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:45:54 | |
My childhood friend and accomplished poet, Michelle Delaine Williams, joins me on Vitally You® to talk about her poetry chapbook, Good Work for Small Hands. Her book centers around her childhood in Missouri and her relationship with her mother. She shares that reflecting on those memories was profoundly cathartic, which really comes through in several of the poems she recites for us. Michelle’s poem, Sprout, which she reads beautifully, transports the listener into a young person’s world of feelings. Sprout invites a conversation about taking responsibility for our own lives no matter how they began. Since becoming a grandmother twice within the last 18 months, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we come into this world and the importance of our upbringing in shaping our future. Michelle’s poems are portals to reconnecting with our younger selves and learning the ways that they wish to be present in our lives.

My friend and colleague Deepa Keenan joins me again on Vitally You® to share how to apply Ayurvedic principles that support rebalance in the body, especially during the perimenopause and menopause stages of life. Deepa is a renowned Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, Ayurveda Practitioner, author, and yogini.

In our conversation, Deepa provides a summary of Ayurveda and the Ayurvedic perspective on common symptoms of nervous system dysregulation and adrenal dysfunction. One symptom that I know a lot of women over 40 experience is waking up between 2am and 4am. Deepa shares strategies to sleep deeply through the night, including increasing healthy fat intake and incorporating grounding rituals into your daily routine. She also expands on the Ayurvedic practice of abhyanga, also known as an oil massage, and why it’s such a powerful therapeutic tool for deep healing and optimal sleep.

| The Heart-Brain Connection: Your Emotions Impact More Than You Realize | 27 Mar 2024 | 00:32:16 | |
Did you know that your “vibe” is a real, palpable thing? This week, I'm sharing how you can neutralize triggering emotions and calm your body when you feel anxious, stressed, and depleted using very simple science-backed breathing techniques. Your heart is so smart that it knows your feelings based on the vibration broadcast throughout your body. All feelings either fuel positive or negative charges in the body. How people experience you is through this vibration; the energy that is broadcast emanates from your heart rate variability. I share the story of how I first discovered this connection and how healing the heart has more to do with the mind and emotions. This ultimately led me to discover the HeartMath®️ Institute. Through HeartMath®,️ I discovered their scientific breathing techniques that taught me how to calm triggering emotions and restore coherence throughout my mind and body system. HeartMath® techniques neutralize triggering emotions during stressful periods, which will otherwise negatively impact your heart rate. This is important because the brain decides the next best action based on your heart rate. The techniques restore coherence between the heart and the brain rhythms by promoting positive emotional states such as appreciation, compassion, and gratitude. I then introduce the emotional compass, which illustrates how certain emotions impact the nervous system. This framework gives a deeper understanding of how, why, and when the brain releases either stress hormones or happy hormones. To encourage the happy hormones, I offer detailed instructions on how to perform three HeartMath®️ breathing techniques: Heart-Focused Breathing®, the Inner Ease®, and the Heart Lock-In®. Our nervous system can get stuck in flight, fight, or freeze, and can potentially compromise our health and immunity. I leave several questions for listeners to ask themselves to gain deeper insight into their own connection between heart and brain, as well as breath, body, and emotions.

| Unlocking the Secrets of Heart Health: Expert Insights & Actionable Tips | 06 Mar 2024 | 00:51:06 | |
Taking leadership of your heart health is a key to longevity and vitality. In this episode, I provide a framework for heart health beyond the conventional model that is reliant upon medications. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the U.S. and is the leading cause of death globally. The conventional model relies upon medications to manage blood pressure and cholesterol. If you are willing to take leadership over your heart health, lifestyle and stress management modalities can change the trajectory of your heart health. When it comes to taking lifelong blood pressure medications, my advice is to question if you want to be on medication for the rest of your life and alternatives for balancing blood pressure. that protocol. Research supports health coaching as a viable option to positively impact blood pressure without medication. I provide specific nutrient and mineral deficiencies to consider. Additionally, HeartMath® breathing techniques and LifeWave’s light therapy patches support heart health. It’s important to understand cholesterol beyond the traditional simplified labs that measure HDL, LDL, and the ratio between the two. In this episode, we take a deep dive into cholesterol and its role in healthy hormone production for peri and menopausal women. I introduce ApoB, which is an important marker if you have high LDL. ApoBis a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. If ApoB levels are too high, statins may be prescribed. Stains block an enzyme in the liver called Coenzyme Q10. I then review the many potential and likely side effects of statins, again encouraging lifestyle shifts as an alternative. Lastly, I give my top tip for what to address first for heart disease or metabolic chaos and then wrap up with my three-part framework for a heart healthy lifestyle. A heartfelt thanks to listener cocofrosty7, who left the show a glowing review of Vitally You®: “Trailblazer in wellness, always ahead of the curve when it comes to wellness, and thought-provoking wisdom and guidance.” Your review is deeply appreciated, cocofrosty7, and all reviews as they help keep the podcast going.

| The Power of Pattern Recognition to Release Emotional Suffering | 14 Feb 2024 | 00:29:53 | |
Do you recognize any patterns in your life? As a human being, I’m sure the answer is a resounding yes. When you find yourself defaulting to an unwanted pattern, you can choose to ignore it or do the work to clear it. In this episode, I unpack the deep connection between thoughts, beliefs, and actions, as well as what I do when I start reliving old patterns that don’t serve me. In the past few months, I found myself believing that no one understands me, I don’t have room in my personal life for my work, and that the people I love the most don’t respect my career. The busy holiday season brought me back to the years when I was raising my children and supporting my husband’s career. It’s been a long time since these thoughts have come up, but it was an important reminder that life is about presence, not perfection. When I found myself feeling depleted and stagnant, I took an honest look at my sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindset. I leaned into the practices that have supported me in the past, such as doing my sunrise and sunset routines, getting on my Power Plate, and mirror gazing. Most importantly, when I felt resistance or constriction, I became really curious about it and worked to reframe the thoughts that would appear in those moments. Listen in to hear how you can cultivate space to release unconscious thought patterns and create a strategy to free yourself from the beliefs that hold you back.

| Three Coaching Tips to Thrive During the Holidays | 19 Dec 2023 | 00:23:35 | |
In today's episode, I share three coaching tips to help you thrive during the holidays and explore how these self-care strategies can raise energy, shift perspective, and promote healing. I also provide specific examples to help integrate these tips into your daily life beyond the holiday season. Tip #1: Give yourself permission to take timeouts when with extended family or during large gatherings. Carving out time for yourself will keep your energy tank properly refueled. I detail why I call these the “islands of respite.” Tip #2: Practice a 12-hour fast and be mindful that your daily habits include consuming protein, fiber, and fat. Also, make sure you’re staying hydrated and properly digesting and eliminating. I illustrate how this allows the body to properly reset and heal throughout the day and night. Plus, I detail an exciting health tech startup called The Metapause that wants to change the menopause narrative and experience for women. I share how my own menopause story was related to my 2011 health crisis involving a pacemaker, various doctors, and learning the role of hormonal health beyond our physical structure. I want to invite you to evaluate every aspect of your life in support of an easier menopause transition and healing in a healthy way. Listen to this episode for three coaching tips to help you thrive during the holiday, plus information on an exciting new health tech startup that wants to change the menopause narrative. How do these tips land for you? I would love to hear your perspective. If you are enjoying these conversations, help me hit 100 reviews in celebration of my 100th episode!

| Book Chat Series, Part 3 of 6, Love is the Most Powerful Medicine, "The Well-Lived Life, by Gladys McGarey, M.D. | 24 Oct 2023 | 00:29:42 | |
Thank you for joining me last week for Part 2 of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 3 of the book where Gladys writes that love is more powerful than any medicine you can take. I share personal stories about love from my own upbringing and the greatest unconditional love story ever told. I end the episode with Gladys’ Love Yourself Into Healing visualization practice to give space for love to trickle in. My “head start” in life wasn’t in a wealthy or influential family. It was in love. When I experienced a family crisis while a freshman in college, I still knew that I was loved and valued. Even in feelings of loneliness, the love remained. I share the greatest love story ever told, Jesus, as a true model of unconditional love and our connection to Divine Source energy. Gladys writes that the power of love is undervalued and overlooked. Love has guided my own life, toward self-forgiveness and in release of rage. To illustrate the vibration of love, I tell Gladys’ story about the Carlsbad Caves and how one small light can dispel the darkness. Love is what can breathe life into any emotionally helpless situation. I share Gladys’ Love Yourself Into Healing visualization practice in honor of embracing the journey toward love. There is transformation when we can get quiet, listen, and be compassionate with ourselves. This is where we have dominion and power. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. Let love be the trickle to guide you along the journey of life. Check in with your heart.

| The Well-Lived Life by Gladys McGarey: A Six-Part Series on Happiness, Health, and Longevity | 17 Oct 2023 | 00:28:52 | |
Thank you for joining me last week for Part One of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 2 of the book where Gladys writes about “the trickle” and three hindrances to confront in order to realign with life. I share how emotional pain is related to forgiveness and shame and the ways it can hold us hostage from our fullest range of life force energy. I end the episode with Gladys' movement practice for letting go and turning our attention back to love. During my marriage crisis, I aligned with the energy of my family to see the trickle moving through the flow of life and our commitment to our children. When we’re in pain, we tend to stop moving, but in reality, movement is the solution to keep our energy system flowing. I share Gladys’ specific practice with hand gestures to deal with blockages and alleviate emotional pain. In order to navigate the pain and find the trickle, we must move something in our life. For a true release in support of your life force, I share Gladys’ process for letting go and letting energy flow. I recently used this process to work out my feelings about the U.S. medical system. I stretched, I danced, I pounded, I jumped — and I felt amazing. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. Let movement guide and revitalize your life force energy. Is there something in your life that’s asking to be moved? I would love to hear from you.

| The Well Lived Life by Gladys McGarey, M.D. a Six Part Book Chat with Dana | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:27:30 | |
Thank you for joining me for part one of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 1 of the book where Gladys writes about "turning towards life" regardless of the circumstances and using your desires as the impetus to move through challenging seasons. I share Gladys' concept of finding your "juice," a term she uses to describe your vital life force or soul's purpose. I end the episode with Gladys' process for discovering your juice when you feel detached from it. I have always believed that health is deeper than the physical body, which is why I love the full mind-soul-body, functional medicine lens. Everything is woven together and connected to and through us, from the inside out. When the electrical conduction of my heart burned out, I learned how every experience teaches you something along the way. When things get messy and chaotic, Gladys encourages us to “turn towards life,” a time to find our life force and access our “juice.” I also share how I was recommended to go the pharmaceutical route during my health crisis and how all areas of our lives must be taken into consideration. For a life filled with true vitality and longevity, I illustrate Gladys’ six-step system filled with wisdom for taking slow, gradual steps toward finding your juice. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. What did you discover this week about your juice? I would love to hear from you.

| Relationships and Longevity | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:23:30 | |
You may have noticed there wasn’t an episode last week. That’s because I’ve spent two weeks working on this topic: relationships relative to longevity. I share how relationships seem fractured since the pandemic and my own challenges connecting. My perspective feels rocky, but there is a desire to lean into human connection with each of you and continue sharing in hopes of strengthening community and our bond to one another. While the national mood and media would have us focus on our differences, our humanity invites us to lean into our commonalities. In this episode, I talk about the Blue Zone communities around the globe, where humans have the most longevity and lifespan. I also detail a Harvard study on adult development which says that relationships are the key to happiness — not professional success, wealth, or education.

| A New Approach to Reducing Osteoporosis and Reducing Fracture Risk with Dr. John Neustadt | 23 May 2023 | 00:38:15 | |
A woman's risk for an osteoporosis fracture is greater than her combined risk for breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer, but it doesn’t get nearly enough attention. I’m joined by Dr. John Neustadt, Naturopathic Physician and Integrative Medical Expert, to discuss what we can do to help maintain and improve bone density as we age. As we lose mobility, our vitality absolutely diminishes. The conventional healthcare model focuses almost exclusively on bone density testing, which measures calcium and other minerals in your bones to predict the likelihood of a fracture. John highlights the limitations of these tests and suggests we shift our focus to modifiable risk factors like diet, functional movement, and supplementation. In our conversation, John shares advice for anyone who feels overwhelmed with their osteoporosis diagnosis and the options for improving bone health. He also expands on the benefits of calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as what to look out for when experimenting with different protocols.

| Cancel "Cancel Culture" with Dana Frost | 09 May 2023 | 00:23:00 | |
After being cut out of someone’s life recently, it got me thinking about the state of modern relationships and this culture of excommunicating anyone that we don't agree with. In this episode, I share three frameworks for restoring harmony and healing relational wounds. Cancel culture plagues our world with depleting emotions like fear, distrust, and anxiety. It might seem easy to block someone online or in real life, but in reality, when that negative energy gets trapped in the body and manifests itself in other ways. Of course, there are situations where it makes sense to uphold boundaries and protect yourself, but when you simply disagree with someone, there are alternative solutions to canceling them. I’ve witnessed the power of forgiveness first hand, and I share two ways that I practice forgiveness for myself and others. I also try to incorporate transparent, authentic, and open communication skills into everyday life and stay grounded in Don Miguel Ruiz’s teachings about The Four Agreements. Listen in as I unpack the reality of cancel culture and how we can all become more compassionate communicators.

| An Introduction to Stem Cells with Dana Frost | 02 May 2023 | 00:27:11 | |
Stem cells are the building blocks for the human body, and without stem cell activity, the body can't repair, regenerate or renew itself. Stem cell activity decreases as we age, but there are several ways to reverse the effects of that biological process. In today’s episode, I share simple, cost-effective wellness protocols that can help you create a healthy environment for stem cells to thrive. There are three main types of stem cells and different therapies associated with them. But, before you go down the path of procedures that cost tens of thousands of dollars, there are things you can do everyday to optimize healthy stem cell activity. Between your diet, exercise, and stress management, your experience of aging is within your control. One of the tools that has been instrumental for me in my journey of feeling younger while growing older has been using LifeWave patch technology. In this episode, I unpack the benefits of these patches and announce a giveaway I’m doing so you can try them out. Here’s how to enter to win a 30-day supply of LifeWave X39 or X49 stem cell activation patches:

| Interior Design and Wellness with Nicholas Moriarty | 25 Apr 2023 | 00:35:43 | |
The mind-body system is always getting feedback from the environment. I’m joined by luxury interior designer Nicholas Moriarty to explore that intersection of health and design. He shares his perspective on how we can build a cradle of support in our spaces and use interior design to inform healthy habits and rituals. Because Nicholas works in the luxury design space, he’s witnessed firsthand the importance of energetics in a home. In his words, you can have all the visual beauty in the world, but if you're not fixing what's happening internally, then it doesn't matter what’s manifesting on the outside. We discuss how this concept has shown up in both of our lives, and specifically for Nicholas, how it’s infomed his career as a designer. Nicholas also shares small design elements that you can edit and change to make each space in your home more purposeful. His goal is to educate people on how to live with more intention and pursue what feels good, particularly when it comes to the built environment.

| Gwyneth Paltrow's Wellness Routine & The Dark Side of The Wellness Industry | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:31:32 | |
When I saw Gwyneth Paltrow was featured on Dr. Will Cole’s podcast The Art of Being Well, a show that I enjoy and respect, I was anticipating a lively and educational conversion. Instead, I was alarmed by the comments that the Goop “wellness guru” made about fasting, nutrition, and aging. In today’s episode, I unpack the routine that Gweneth Paltrow described on The Art of Being Well and highlight how her habits reveal a darker side of the wellness industry. I share my personal approach to chasing better outcomes than my ancestors, including how I work on supporting a healthy immune system, optimal mind, and strong body. I find most women are chasing the image of their younger selves, and I’ve even found myself doing the same thing. But when I bring my focus back to the present moment and who I am today, this is where the real wellness journey is happening. I want to encourage you to block out the unrealistic standards and airbrushed photos that wellness “experts” sell to us, and instead feel the power that is rooted inside of you and allow yourself to express it out in the world.

I’m joined by Heather Hasuman, a personal trainer with extensive knowledge of Rife technology, to discuss how this framework has not only transformed her life, but also the lives of her clients. As a child, Heather was diagnosed with a host of food and airborne allergies, which became more aggressive and all-encompassing as an adult. When she started working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner, a biofeedback scan revealed that Heather had been unknowingly fighting off parasites for nearly her entire life, which resulted in hormone imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders. We can tap into what’s going on underneath the surface by using energetic frequencies. In our conversation, Heather explains how Rife technology works by delivering a low energy electromagnetic frequency into the body. She also shares an overview of the history of this protocol and examples of incredible success stories. Listen in to learn more about the possibilities that exist within the realm of frequency healing.

| 77. A Framework for Healing Fatigue | 28 Mar 2023 | 00:29:33 | |
Have you ever felt that unrelenting, bone-tired fatigue? Between healing from a parasitic infection, supporting my mom with her cancer diagnosis, and celebrating my daughter’s engagement, I have not felt this tired since 2017. Because I’ve experienced adrenal fatigue in the past, I want to share my framework and tips for getting back to a regulated, optimal state. First and foremost, we have to look at the thoughts and beliefs that we have about our fatigue. It’s normal to resist it, feel shame about it, or just plain hate it. In my experience, once you start to express gratitude for your body and its internal messaging system, it creates a welcoming environment for healing. In this episode, I highlight certain lifestyle and diet factors that tend to trigger adrenal fatigue, including poor sleep hygiene, nutrient deficiencies, and exercise patterns. I share simple steps that help address those factors and support your journey to feeling energized again. Listen in to learn more about adrenal fatigue and how to heal from it.

Bringing purpose and ritual to the start of each day is a powerful elixir for the rest of the day. Today, I introduce the practice of "Quiet Time," a daily ritual in my life since I was a teenager. Through the decades, it's become increasingly valuable and how I access my wise inner teacher. I’ve worked closely with today’s guest, Linda Neff, and introduced her to quiet time and tuning into the innate wisdom within. In our conversation, we discuss how our quiet time rituals have evolved over the years and why it’s something that we continue to show up for daily. We’re all inundated with outside influences and noise, but when I have my morning quiet time, I find that I can move through life more intuitively and connected. In this episode, Linda and I look back on periods of our lives where quiet time really shifted what we were feeling and provided us the space to proceed in a more aligned way. Linda and I share some of the props and elements of our routines that have been supportive throughout the years, such as journaling, reading, or sometimes simply sitting in silence. Linda also opens up about what’s been coming up for her in quiet time during this season of her life. Listen in to learn about what quiet time is and why it's where I start with my clients.

| 75. Happy Healthy Hormones with Dr. Daved Rosensweet M.D. | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:41:16 | |
Dr. Daved Rosensweet is the Founder of The Menopause Method, a comprehensive approach to treating the many symptoms and physical changes of diminished hormones that women experience in midlife. Dr. Rosensweet is a leader in the bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) field. In our conversation, he debunks the common myths that many women and physicians believe about BHRT and unpacks where most of the misinformation stems from. In 2002, there was a government-led study known as the Women’s Health Initiative which claimed that hormones for postmenopausal women are harmful. Years later, that conclusion was proven to be false, but the damage was already done. Dr. Rosensweet and his team at The Menopause Method are on a mission to show women that they can have dominion over their wellbeing and thrive in menopause. Dr. Rosensweet highlights incredible success stories of women treated with bioidentical hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. He shares his recommendations for finding the right physicians and nurse practitioners who are also dedicated to advancing women’s medicine and resisting the one-size-fits-all approach. Listen in to learn more about how to increase vitality and improve health outcomes in menopause.

| 74. A New Perspective in the Treatment of Parasites | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:26:09 | |
We all have parasites, but not all of them actively cause symptoms. I’ve experienced several bouts of parasites that have caused unwanted and destructive symptoms. I’ve been reflecting on how we can naturally balance our internal ecosystems harmoniously versus the conventional model. Parasites don’t always go away when the immediate symptoms end, and in fact, there are many long-term health outcomes if you don’t seek proper treatment. When something enters your bloodstream that's not meant to be there, your immune system activates and attacks the foreign pathogen. Just because symptoms subside, you cannot be guaranteed that the parasite is gone. This is what I experienced when I contracted a parasite in 2019, while traveling to Morocco. Unfortunately, our traditional healthcare system is at war with our physiology. The collective bacteria that resides in all of us needs to be protected and healed, not automatically destroyed by antibiotics. In this episode, I share the restorative protocol that’s been working for me and what this experience has shown me about feeling younger while growing older. Listen in as I explore an alternative solution for recovering from parasites and other potential pathogens.
