In this episode, I am doing a deep dive on cholesterol and the many different things it does in the body as well as how it impacts our hormones. I’ll also be covering how certain minerals can impact cholesterol and go through some things to consider when looking at your cholesterol lab test results. This podcast episode is for informational purposes only. While I will be discussing lab tests and possible interpretations for results, you can’t interpret a lab completely without having a whole person to compare it to. If you have concerns about your cholesterol, please share them with your doctor or medical provider. Links/Resources:Free thyroid training: https://bit.ly/3uDbDBi Free Training: Optimizing Hormone Health with Mineral Balance: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMk Mineral Imbalance Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h Gallbladder episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gallbladder-health-your-hormones-with-olivia-haas/id1568547321?i=1000582123453 Iodine episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/iodine-the-miracle-mineral/id1568547321?i=1000560008653 Top 5 Nutrition Myths: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/top-5-nutrition-myths/id1568547321?i=1000526229343 Macro Minerals episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/minerals-101/id1568547321?i=1000527073902 Copper and Iron episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-connection-between-copper-iron/id1568547321?i=1000528570432 The Salt Fix by Dr. James DiNicolantonioReferences: Steroid hormones: https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-7075-7-47 Cell membranes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6383291/#:~:text=Cholesterol%20is%20the%20major%20sterol,the%20lipid%20bilayer%20on%20average. Myelin: https://www.nature.com/articles/nn1426#:~:text=Myelin%20cannot%20be%20synthesized%20without,limiting%20factor%20for%20myelin%20growth. Bile acids: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2712638/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2712638/#:~:text=Bile%20acids%20are%20synthesized%20from%20cholesterol%20in%20the%20liver

In this episode, we are focusing on postpartum exercise with Dr. Lindsey Mathews Cantu. Lindsey is committed to supporting women in the various seasons of their lives. She started BIRTHFIT in 2013 with a deep belief that movement can be the bridge to cultivate our own intuition and a trust in our bodies. Lindsey is a Nervous System Based Chiropractor, Mercier Therapist, Birth Doula, NLP Practitioner, and Strength and Conditioning Coach. Through all the hats she wears in this world, she created BIRTHFIT as she saw a huge gap for sustainable, nervous system based movement and training for women in all chapters and cycles of their lives, specifically cycling, preconception, pregnant, and postpartum women. Beyond BIRTHFIT, Lindsey works in her chiropractic wellness practice, Willow Haus, that she co founded with Dr. Bria and Matt Mutch. Majority, if not all, of her clientele that she sees in office are women and pediatrics. In her spare time, Lindsey enjoys connecting with her husband Lance, working in her garden, and taking long, slow walks. Lindsey’s core values are LOVE, FREEDOM,  and CONNECTION. Links/Resources:Free Training: Optimizing Hormone Health with Mineral Balance: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMk Mineral Imbalance Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h Check out the Birthfit website: https://birthfit.com/ Visit Lindsey’s practice: https://willowhaustx.com/Listen to Lindsey’s podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-birthfit-podcast/id1086509138 Follow Birthfit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/birthfit/ Follow Willow Haus on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willow_haus/ Follow Lindsey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindsey_m_cantu/ Birthfit youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BIRTHFIT Hemorrhoids blog: https://birthfit.com/blog/hemorrhoid-relief 

In this episode, I am breaking down how the copper IUD works and how it impacts different aspects of our health. When I posted a question box for this episode in my stories a couple weeks back I got a lot of questions about how the copper IUD can impact the thyroid, hormones, if it can cause copper toxicity, and more so I’ll be covering all of that too! As always, this podcast is for informational purposes only. Please make sure you talk with your medical provider about what’s best for you. Resources:Free Training: Optimizing Hormone Health with Mineral Balance: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMk Mineral Imbalance Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h Copper Deep Dive episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/copper-deep-dive/id1568547321?i=1000586081883 Minerals 101 episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/minerals-101/id1568547321?i=1000527073902 Free Thyroid Training: https://bit.ly/3uDbDBi Fertility Awareness Method podcast episode with FAM instructor, Nina Boyce: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fertility-awareness-method-with-nina-boyce/id1568547321?i=1000536700075 Castor oil packs blog: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/castor-oil Instagram post on how to know if you’re eating enough: https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQdhd2gODJ/ Learn how to use the Fertility Awareness Method: https://bit.ly/3AKQuq2 Copper IUD History:https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/copper-intrauterine-device-iud https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12266319/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010782476800054 Copper Spermicide:https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/copper-nanoparticles-an-effective-spermicide/ Copper IUD & Hormones/Fertility:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18338309/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17241835/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19685012/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/13625187.2015.1010639 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0015028216419503 Copper IUD & Minerals:

I have another deep dive episode for you! In this episode, we are focusing on copper. I have a podcast episode that I did in season one that’s all about the connection between copper and iron, but copper deserves its own episode. I will also do a separate deep dive on iron in season 4 of the podcast next year where I will be doing all deep dives for one season. Just a reminder before we jump into today’s episode. This podcast is for informational purposes only. I will be mentioning some lab values, foods, and supplements surrounding copper, but it’s important you talk about any changes you’re considering with your medical provider. Resources:Free Training: Optimizing Hormone Health with Mineral Balance: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMk Mineral Imbalance Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h Strands of Health by Rick Malter, Ph.D.The Mineral Fix by Dr. James DiNicolantonioMetabolic Type Podcast Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-metabolic-type-on-an-htma/id1568547321?i=1000527836892 Free Thyroid Training: https://bit.ly/3uDbDBi The Connection Between Copper and Iron episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-connection-between-copper-iron/id1568547321?i=1000528570432 Adrenal cocktail blog: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/adrenal-cocktail-recipes Scientific Studies:Metallothionein: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12022471/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11803037/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14627437/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4942874/ Excess copper/exposure:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15621934/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2626984/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3181/00379727-92-22512 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12011-009-8475-xhttps://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4612-5829-2_3https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10383875/ Copper water bottles/pots/pans:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3312355/ Copper deficiency:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15762288/

Delving into histamine intolerance, this podcast explores the role of histamines in immune responses, gut health, and hormone balance. It emphasizes a holistic approach to managing intolerance, including stress management and nutritional support. The interconnectedness of nutrients, hormones, and digestive health is highlighted, along with personalized approaches for addressing histamine issues.

In this episode, we are focusing on the gallbladder and how not only can it impact your hormones but how hormonal changes can impact your gallbladder function as well. I have Olivia Haas also known as the Gallbladder Nutritionist on Instagram with me today to dive deep into this topic. Olivia is a board certified nutritionist specializing in all things gallbladder health. Her personal journey with digestive issues, hypothyroidism and gallbladder disease is what has led her to start her private practice helping individuals who are trying to keep their gallbladder or people struggling with digestive issues after gallbladder surgery. Along her way, she realized there was a lack of education regarding this condition, what caused it, how diet and lifestyle impact this disease and how to best support the body without a gallbladder. Through her experience she grew a passion to help other individuals with gallbladder disease feel supported, gain nutrition clarity and help teach them how to be advocates for their health. Olivia takes a root cause approach with her clients. She looks beyond the gallbladder to bring the body back into balance and helps clients create sustainable, long term healthy habits every step of their gallbladder journey.  Links/Resources:Free Training: Optimizing Hormone Health with Mineral Balance: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMk Mineral Imbalance Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h Free healthy period guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guide Follow Olivia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gallbladder.nutritionist/ The Gallbladder Removal Reset: https://olivia-n-haas.mykajabi.com/the-gallbladder-removal-reset Visit Olivia’s website: www.honoryourcore.com New Gallbladder Nutrition website: www.gallbladderdiet.com Birth Control episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-impact-side-effects-of-hormonal-birth-control/id1568547321?i=1000535965830 How To Transition Off Birth Control episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-transition-off-hormonal-birth-control/id1568547321?i=1000556141689 Free thyroid training: https://bit.ly/3uDbDBi Copper and iron podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-connection-between-copper-iron/id1568547321?i=1000528570432 Dr. Jacobi Ileocecal valve massage: : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATmSVdeSo_U
