#368 - Healing Begins in Your Mind: Food, Training, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves With Jen Ismar
Most women think they just need more motivation.But the truth is your body can not heal in a mind that is constantly attacking itself.This week’s episode with NuStrength Coach Jen Ismar is a powerful reminder that healing does not start with the perfect meal plan or the perfect training plan.It starts with the stories you tell yourself.It starts with identity.It starts with choosing a new internal reality so your body finally feels safe enough to change.Jen shares her journey through emotional stress, hormone chaos, digestive issues and the moment everything shifted once she began healing her mind, not just her body.This conversation will hit home for so many women who feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated that they “know what to do” but still can not follow through.If you want to understand whyyou self sabotageyou struggle with consistencyyou keep repeating the same patternsand how to finally step into the woman you want to becomeyou will love this one.RESOURCES + LINKSMetabolic Reset ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldJen Ismar @thisisthenextjenAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

#367 - The estrogen therapy debate. The FDA’s removal of black box warnings vs what the studies actually show. Prepare to be shocked with Kate Deering
The FDA recently asked drug companies to remove the black box warnings from estrogen therapy..and the internet exploded.Suddenly everyone is saying“Estrogen will protect your brain”“Estrogen prevents dementia”“Estrogen saves your heart”“Every woman should be on it”But when you actually look at the research...the story is very different.In the latest episode with Kate Deering and we unpack👉 Why observational studies make estrogen look safer than it is👉 What randomised controlled trials show about dementia👉 Why the heart health claims fall apart when you look at absolute risk👉 The truth about estrogen and bone density👉 Why symptom relief gets mistaken for disease prevention👉 The real risks no one is talking about👉 What actually drives hot flashes and how to fix them without jumping straight to hormonesWomen deserve the full picture not fear based messaging.If you want to understand the FDA decision and what the evidence really says, this episode will give you more clarity than any headline ever will.STUDY LINKSThis is the study the FDA references to say women who do not take hormones have a 35% greater risk of Alzheimers. This was a retrospective case-control study within a retirement community in Southern California.Paganini-Hill A, Henderson VW. Estrogen replacement therapy and risk of Alzheimer disease. Archives of internal medicine. 1996 Oct 28;156(19):2213-7.They compared estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) use among cases vs controls (i.e. users vs non-users). They found a significantly lower risk of Alzheimer’s-related dementia in women who used ERT (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.49–0.88). This design only shows associations not causationHowever, lets look at the other case-control studies done more recently:1.Pourhadi N, Mørch LS, Holm EA, Torp-Pedersen C, Meaidi A. Menopausal hormone therapy and dementia: nationwide, nested case-control study. bmj. 2023 Jun 28;381. Conclusions: Women n combination therapy had a significantly higher rate of dementia The risk increased the longer they were on the therapy2.Vinogradova Y, Dening T, Hippisley-Cox J, Taylor L, Moore M, Coupland C. Use of menopausal hormone therapy and risk of dementia: nested case-control studies using QResearch and CPRD databases. bmj. 2021 Sep 30;374.Conclusions. Short term use no association with dementia. But, longer-term use WAS associated with increased dementia3.Savolainen-Peltonen H, Rahkola-Soisalo P, Hoti F, Vattulainen P, Gissler M, Ylikorkala O, Mikkola TS. Use of postmenopausal hormone therapy and risk of Alzheimer’s disease in Finland: nationwide case-control study. bmj. 2019 Mar 6;364.Conclusions: Systemic hormone therapy was associated with an increased risk of Alzheimers4.Sung YF, Tsai CT, Kuo CY, Lee JT, Chou CH, Chen YC, Chou YC, Sun CA. Use of hormone replacement therapy and risk of dementia: a nationwide cohort study. Neurology. 2022 Oct 25;99(17):e1835-42.Conclusions: Hormone therapy was associated with a significant increased risk of dementiaRCT on dementia1. WHIMS from WHI-- on women 65-79Those on estrogen and progestins had increased risk of dementiaEstrogen only --somewhat of an increase with estrogen only--estrogen DID not protectlimitations--age of women2.

#366 - The risks, the realities and the possibilities of GLP meds for women with Dr Dwayne N Jackson
A lot of women are confused about peptides and GLP-1 meds right now and for good reason.There is hype everywhere, fear everywhere and almost no grounded, evidence based guidance from someone credible.This episode brings clarity. Dr Dwayne N Jackson has a PhD in Neuromuscular Physiology and has done extensive academic research on peptides, metabolism and hormonal regulation. I spent over 2 hours chatting with him and absolutely loved this conversation. We went deep on GLP-1 meds and so much more.
