In this episode, Dr. Lovat discusses the frequent mismanagement of thyroid conditions, explores the role of insulin resistance in various health issues, and examines the use of medications like semaglutide and ketamine in contemporary healthcare. Join us as we delve into these critical topics. Dr. Lovat, the owner of Firefly Medical, discusses her journey from working in a large hospital setting to opening her own hormone clinic.

Optimizing hormones is crucial for achieving overall health and well-being. The mismanagement of thyroid conditions is common, and dosing should be based on symptoms rather than numbers. Insulin resistance plays a significant role in various health issues, and addressing it through lifestyle changes and medication can have a positive impact. The use of statins should be carefully considered, as they can have negative effects on hormones and overall health. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide can be effective in promoting weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity. Ketamine drips can be used for the treatment of mental health conditions, and they have shown promising results in reducing symptoms.  To Visit FireFly's Website Click HERE Victory Men's Health  For questions email: podcast@amystuttle.com Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

PCOS Treatment | What To Do When Your Levels are "Normal" In this episode, Amy interviews Angie Nichols from Tier 1 Health and Wellness about women's hormones. They discuss when women should start considering optimizing their hormones, symptoms and diagnosis of PCOS, recommended hormone testing, the effects of low testosterone levels, preferred delivery methods for hormones, concerns with testosterone pellets, optimal levels and delivery methods for progesterone and estradiol, and addressing concerns about hormone therapy and breast cancer. The conversation covers topics related to synthetic hormones, birth control, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and hormone treatment options. Angie provides insights into the differences between synthetic and bio-identical hormones, the risks associated with synthetic hormones, and the impact of birth control pills on hormone levels. She also discusses the symptoms and diagnosis of PCOS, as well as various treatment options, including thyroid medication, progesterone, metformin, and spironolactone. Angie shares her personal hormone routine and expresses concerns about the mismanagement of hormone therapy and the influence of big pharma in the healthcare industry. Takeaways Synthetic hormones are chemically altered and not bio-identical to the hormones produced by the body. They can have more side effects and may increase the risk of certain health conditions. Birth control pills can affect hormone levels, including reducing testosterone in women and potentially impacting athletic performance. Diagnosing PCOS involves evaluating symptoms, hormone levels (such as FSH, LH, and testosterone), and using diagnostic criteria. However, there is a need for updated and standardized diagnostic criteria. Individualized hormone therapy can help manage symptoms and improve overall health, but there is a lack of awareness and support for this approach in mainstream medicine. There are concerns about the mismanagement of hormone therapy and the influence of big pharma on healthcare decisions and access to treatment.
