  • Welcome to today's episode where we focus on the world of bone health, specifically conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis. In this episode, we discuss the importance of maintaining strong bones and how to prevent fractures.

    We clarify the difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis, their prevalence, and how to identify if you're affected by them. We also talk about the risk factors for these conditions, such as age, gender, and lifestyle choices.

    A common misconception about osteoporosis is that it only affects older women. We debunk this myth and explain that osteoporosis can happen to anyone, regardless of age or gender.

    We discuss standard treatment protocols for osteoporosis and why they may not be sufficient. We offer insights on medications commonly prescribed for osteoporosis, including their impact on bone physiology and the risks and side effects that many people are unaware of. We stress the importance of a holistic approach to bone health, incorporating lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, and alternative therapies.

    We also highlight the connection between gut health and bone health, sharing insights on the ideal diet for osteoporosis. We recommend specific foods that can be beneficial additions to a bone-healthy plan, such as calcium-rich foods, vitamin D, and magnesium.

    Exercise plays a significant role in bone health, and we discuss whether having low bone density guarantees a fracture. We explain the importance of weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, and strength training in promoting bone density and preventing fractures.

    Family history and genetics don't paint the complete picture when it comes to osteoporosis. We discuss the importance of understanding your individual risk factors and taking proactive steps to prevent bone loss and fractures.

    To wrap up, we provide a stronger bones plan that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and bone-building supplements. We remind everyone that osteoporosis is not an inevitable part of aging and that there are multiple ways to improve bone health and prevent fractures. Armed with the right knowledge and tools, we can all take control of our bone health and live life to the fullest.

  • Hormone balance is key for a healthy menstrual cycle.

    In this episode, we talk to Lisa Hendrickson- Jack, an expert in women's health, to discuss the significance of a healthy menstrual cycle and optimal hormone balance. We explore several important topics that shed light on the role of menstruation in a woman's overall physical, reproductive, and emotional well-being.

    One of the key insights we discuss is the concept of viewing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign. Just like other vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, the menstrual cycle provides valuable information about a woman's reproductive health and fertility. We emphasize the importance of paying attention to the characteristics of the menstrual cycle to gain a deeper understanding of hormonal balance and overall health.

    We also talk about what a normal menstrual cycle should look like. Lisa guides us through the different phases of the cycle. By understanding what constitutes a normal cycle, women can identify any irregularities or abnormalities that may require attention or medical intervention.

    We go on to explore the most common health conditions that can disrupt the menstrual cycle. Lisa shared her expertise on conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and thyroid disorders, explaining their potential effects on menstruation and overall health. This knowledge enables us to recognize potential signs and symptoms, leading to early intervention and appropriate medical care.

    By considering the menstrual cycle as a vital sign, understanding what constitutes a normal cycle, and recognizing the impact of common health conditions and birth control methods, we can take control of our reproductive health and make informed decisions for their overall well-being. Tune in to our episode for a wealth of knowledge and insights into this crucial aspect of women's health.

    ABOUT OUR GUEST:

    Lisa Hendrickson-Jack is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception and monitoring overall health. In her bestselling book The Fifth Vital Sign, Lisa debunks the myth that regular ovulation is only important when you want children by recognizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign. Drawing heavily from the current scientific literature, Lisa presents an evidence-based approach to fertility awareness and menstrual cycle optimization. She hosts the Fertility Friday Podcast, a weekly radio show devoted to helping women connect to their fifth vital sign by uncovering the connection between menstrual cycle health, fertility, and overall health.

  • This episode is for you if you have ever experienced trauma. Which to some degree or another is all of us. Today we discuss the distinction between stress and trauma responses with Dr. Aimie Apigian.

    Stress begins with a startle response, leading to a high-energy stress response that mobilizes the body into action. On the other hand, trauma responses involve freezing and energy depletion. Trauma responses can result in a shutdown of the body, affecting physical health and causing inflammation and other biological effects.

    We also discuss the role of cortisol in the stress response, emphasizing that cortisol supports the high-energy state. However, in trauma responses, the emergency brake is pulled alongside the accelerator, leading to confusing messages within the body. This can result in chronic conditions and symptoms, which are often rooted in past traumas and overwhelm.

    We then talk about how working with trauma responses requires a specific sequence to shift the body's programming. The first step is establishing safety, both in a felt sense and by changing the biology to a state of safety. Dr. Aimie explains somatic work, such as somatic experiencing, to help us become aware of their nervous system and track our stress and trauma responses. By using gentle tools to shift our state, we can move towards healing and rewiring trauma patterns.

    Overall, Dr. Aimie's insights shed light on the biology of trauma, the impact it has on physical health, and the importance of understanding the distinction between stress and trauma responses for effective healing and well-being.
