575. Controversial: Can You Cure Your Pain or Chronic Disease with Your Mind? Explore the Power of TMS

Pain isn’t always physical, and the cause might not be what you think. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Daniel Brown for a mind-expanding conversation that challenges everything we think we know about chronic pain and disease. Daniel shares how he went from battling an “incurable” autoimmune condition to being completely pain-free after uncovering a powerful connection between buried emotions and the body’s physical symptoms. We unpack the work of Dr. John Sarno and the concept of TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome), a theory that our subconscious mind can create real, physical pain as a distraction from unresolved emotions. It sounds radical… until you start seeing how many people have healed just by understanding this link. Daniel and I explore how emotional pain shows up in the body, why logic and science can’t explain everything, and how simply shifting awareness can unlock deep healing without medication, endless therapy, or surgery.

574. The TRUTH About Your Labs: What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You with Dr. Ken Berry

Are your “normal” labs keeping you sick? Most doctors say your labs are fine… but what if “normal” isn’t actually healthy? In this conversation with Dr. Ken Berry, we dig into the truth behind standard lab ranges, why your symptoms matter more than your numbers, and how to become lab literate so you can finally advocate for your own health. We unpack the lies that keep patients stuck, the pharmaceutical influence behind lab ranges, and the one “nuclear option” you can use when your doctor refuses to order the tests you need. Dr. Berry and I also break down what optimal really looks like and why it’s time to stop settling for “average.” If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or told your labs are “fine” when you know something is off, this episode will change the way you look at your results forever.

573. Stop Meditating! Calm Your Nervous System in 2 Minutes and Reset Your Hormones with Dr. Melissa Sonners

How much of your fatigue, anxiety, or hormone imbalance is really about your nervous system and not your thyroid, diet, or workouts? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Sonners to uncover how chronic stress and constant “doing” can keep your body stuck in survival mode, even when you’re doing everything right. We talk about how to microdose calm throughout your day, retrain your nervous system to feel safe in stillness, and use simple two-minute resets to transform how you think, feel, and function. Dr. Sonners shares her own powerful story and explains how nervous system regulation became the missing piece in her healing. If you’ve been pushing harder but feeling worse, this conversation will show you how to create real change by finally aligning your body, mind, and hormones.

572. THE Training Episode of the Year: How to Find Balance Between Life, Training and Hormones with Sal DiStefano

What if your drive to “do more” in the gym is actually the thing holding your health back? In this conversation with Mind Pump host and fitness expert Sal Di Stefano, I dive into the often-overlooked psychology of overtraining and how self-punishment disguised as discipline can wreck hormones, metabolism, and mental health. We talk about the fine line between pushing your limits and pushing your body into dysfunction—especially for women navigating thyroid issues, hormonal shifts, or autoimmune conditions. Sal and I unpack why chronic stress and over-exercising can trigger thyroid problems, why your body clings to fat when you’re doing “everything right,” and how to spot when fitness has turned from self-care into self-sabotage. We also get real about the emotional side of body image, aging, and learning to train from a place of self-respect rather than self-criticism. This episode is packed with breakthroughs that could completely change how you view fitness, health, and your relationship with your body.

571. When Perimenopause Kicks Your A$$ and What To Do About It

What if everything you’ve been told about perimenopause is incomplete or flat-out wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mariza Snyder, bestselling author of The Perimenopause Revolution, to uncover what’s really happening during the hormonal shift that too many women are told to simply “push through.” We break down the chaos of fluctuating hormones, why symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, and how you can take charge of your health long before menopause officially begins. We talk about what’s actually happening in your body during this transition and how to spot it early. Dr. Mariza shares why perimenopause is the most critical time to act, how hormones protect your brain, heart, and metabolism, and why waiting until menopause to intervene can cost you years of vibrant living. This conversation will change how you see your body, your energy, and your future health.

570. The #1 Hack for Muscle, Skin and Hair and How to Avoid GLP Muscle Loss

What if the real reason you’re tired, losing muscle, or struggling to heal has less to do with hormones and everything to do with protein and amino acids? In this episode, I sit down with Angelo Keely from Kion to unpack the science behind muscle preservation, recovery, and aging—and why most women (especially in perimenopause and menopause) are severely under-fueled when it comes to protein. We dive into what happens to your body under stress—from surgery to dieting to GLP-1 medications—and how essential amino acids can change the game for your energy, metabolism, and longevity. You’ll learn how to heal faster, lose fat without losing muscle, and protect your body as your hormones shift. We break down how much protein women actually need, the truth about plant vs. animal sources, and why pairing aminos with your protein powder can supercharge results. If you’ve ever wondered why your energy crashes, your hair won’t grow, or your body feels weaker with age, this episode will completely change how you think about protein—and how you use it to feel strong, lean, and alive again.

569. Testosterone Breakthrough: A New Testosterone Solution Rocking the HRT World with Shalin Shah

What if everything you thought you knew about testosterone therapy was wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to explore a groundbreaking oral testosterone therapy that’s changing the way we think about hormones. For decades, we’ve been told that oral testosterone is dangerous, hard on the liver, risky for the heart, and only meant for men. But what if there’s a safer, more effective option that benefits both men and women, protects long-term health, and actually mimics the body’s natural rhythm? We dig into the myths that have held testosterone back, why it’s been unfairly stigmatized, and how this new therapy could reshape the future of hormone replacement. If you’ve ever struggled with low energy, brain fog, weight gain, or lack of motivation (or if you’ve wondered why so many doctors still hesitate to prescribe testosterone) this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible.

568. How to ACCURATELY Test Your Thyroid: Timing Meds and Labs the Right Way

Have you ever been told to test your thyroid levels a few hours after taking your medication? What if I told you that one small timing mistake could completely throw off your results—and lead to the wrong treatment plan? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and costly) thyroid testing mistakes: drawing your labs at the wrong time. I explain why testing “at the peak” doesn’t make sense scientifically, how it can create false high readings, and what actually happens in your body when you take T3 or NDT medication. You’ll hear real examples from my own experiments and patients so you can finally understand what those lab numbers really mean—and when you should be testing for an accurate picture of your thyroid health. If you’ve been told your labs look “fine” but you still feel tired, foggy, or stuck with symptoms, this episode will make it all click. I’ll teach you the timing strategy that can completely change how your medication is adjusted and how you feel every day. Don’t miss it!

567. NDT or T4/T3? Breaking Down the Thyroid Medication Debate

What’s the best thyroid medication to be on — NDT, T4, T3, or a combination? And how do you actually know what’s right for your body? In this episode, I’m breaking down the nuanced art of thyroid optimization — from natural desiccated thyroid (like Armour or NP) to biosynthetic options such as Synthroid, Tirosint, and Cytomel. I explain why there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment, what to consider if you have Hashimoto’s, and how fillers, conversion issues, and reverse T3 can all impact how you feel. You’ll learn how to spot when your thyroid meds need tweaking, why “natural” doesn’t always mean better, and how to use your labs and symptoms together to guide your treatment. If you’ve ever felt confused about which thyroid medication is best or frustrated that your current dose isn’t working, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and questions to bring to your next appointment — so you can finally get the right combination, in the right dose, for you.

566. How to Rebuild Muscle and Relieve Pain Without Hours in the Gym

Is muscle really the secret to aging well—and could new tech make it easier than ever to keep it? In this episode, I sit down with Alex Birks, a muscle tech innovator, to uncover the surprising truth about muscle health and why it may be the most overlooked key to longevity. We talk about the ways muscle connects to everything from hormones to cardiovascular health, and why losing it accelerates disease, injury, and aging itself. You’ll also hear how Alex’s own devastating injury led him to create a breakthrough wearable, now used by professional athletes and everyday people alike, that makes building and preserving muscle faster and more accessible than ever before. We go deep into the science of targeted compression training, what it actually does inside your body, and why it can mimic the effects of high-intensity workouts in just minutes. You’ll learn why muscle isn’t about looking bulky, but about living independently, avoiding chronic pain, and keeping your hormones and metabolism in balance. From perimenopause to post-injury recovery, from busy professionals to aging grandparents, this conversation will open your eyes to how muscle health is the missing piece you can’t afford to ignore.
