Episode 265: Uterine Health: Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and beyond

Do you deal with endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful sex or period drama? Often we only think about the uterus, or womb, as the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. But various forms of autoimmune, inflammatory, hormone imbalance, and even conditions such as thyroid problems can drive problems in this important organ. Learn about endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful sex, fibroids and more.   In this episode, we discuss the symptoms, diagnosis and root causes of endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and beyond. Learn how oxidative stress can play a major role and how antioxidants like curcumin and n-acetyl cysteine can play a major role in reducing symptoms. We share our best supplement strategy for endometriosis, discuss how toxicity and microbiome play a role, and of course discuss food-as-medicine recommendations for managing pain and resolving from the root cause.    Also in this episode: Women’s Wellness Workshop Become a Client Episode 106: Birth Control Part 1 Episode 107: Birth Control Part 2 Episode 48: PCOS Part 1  Episode 49: PCOS Part 2 Episode 145: Endometriosis and Infertility Episode 121 Keto and Women’s Hormones Episode 232: Period Drama and Birth Control updates Anatomy of the Uterus Symptoms of Adenomyosis vs. Endometriosis Diet and Lifestyle Approach The Impact of Oxidative Stress on Endometriosis Supplement StrategyMultiDefense with Iron MultiAvail Mama Thyroid Optimizer Bio-C Plus EPA DHA Extra  Super TurmericCurcumin inhibits endometriosis endometrial cells by reducing estradiol production Women with endometriosis improved their peripheral antioxidant markers after the application of a high antioxidant diet - Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology Cellular AntioxA Promise in the Treatment of Endometriosis: An Observational Cohort Study on Ovarian Endometrioma Reduction by N-Acetylcysteine Vitamin D Balanced Blend25-Hydroxy vitamin D levels in premenopausal Turkish women with uterine leiomyoma Vitamin D Blood Spot Test Calm and ClearStress Exacerbates Endometriosis Manifestations and Inflammatory Parameters in an Animal Model Relax and Regulate Foria CBD Suppositories The Impact of ToxicityEpisode 264: Are There Toxins In Your Cleaning Products?

Episode 262: The Keto-Immune Connection and Natural Immunity Updates

Did you know that a ketogenic diet can support immune health? Beyond its tried and true benefits of weight loss, fertility, and enhanced neurological health, keto has multiple mechanisms that reduce inflammation in the body. In fact, keto can reduce certain inflammatory chemicals including inflammasomes, it can enhance cell membrane health and can even reduce CRP by 35-40%. What’s more, there is a direct relationship between ketones and T Cell function including enhanced production and specificity of these long term players of the immune system.    In this episode, we unpack the many benefits of the ketogenic diet on the immune system and get into the nitty gritty research of how a ketogenic diet can be used as a clinical tool for restoring and maintaining metabolic and immune health. We also unpack the taboo topic of n@tural immunitee (did you know it is a banned hashtag?!) Learn how to rev up your immune system using keto along with targeted supplementation and how you can make your terrain resilient to whatever viru$ comes our way next!   Also in this episode:  Next Level Keto - starts 10/27 Women’s Wellness Workshop 12/4 - Tickets Available Soon!
