How does it impact our health, and how can we reduce our insulin and prevent insulin resistance? What is so great about this interview with Megan is the practical steps she gives us to get our insulin levels balanced, but also her easy to understand explanations our how our bodies work with our hormones that supply energy.

S3 Ep. 22: Let's Review Bloodwork! What Tests Should You Be Asking For?

You may have heard that changes occur for women after the age of 45, and that some of these changes may not be positive. Well, there is truth to the first, and as far as the second, health and body changes become a manageable life skill as  women after 45 still can live their best life in optimal health.  The focus needs to be the long game, not the short game, and reasonable goals that are appropriate for where our lives are going 45 and beyond. Jamie & Teresa will dive into this issue and specifically address concerns around weight management during the 40's and beyond, around exercise, nutrition, stress & sleep, which are essentially the 4 pillars of health we all need to be focusing on, no matter what age we are. 

Jamie & Teresa are not going to claim to have some magic pill, or magic diet, or protocol that is the right thing for every person, but hopefully you will take away some empowering tips and helpful advice that will allow you to make the best individual decisions for you health today! Enjoy and share with a friend you love.

S3 Ep. 24: Spotlight on Weight Management & Optimal Health for 40's and Beyond

Jamie & Teresa wanted to squeeze in one more nutrition with the menstrual cycle episode this season! This episode will focus on the principles of fasting and incorporating this as a tool to help our bodies and our hormones. The inspiration behind this episode came from Jamie reading the book by Dr. Mindy Pelz called 'Fast Like a Girl', and how it inspired Jamie to really think about how fasting could potentially be a helpful tool for some women to implement. We realize that anytime we bring up nutrition and ways to eat, it can be triggering to many so we want to be sure you know that our goal is to just inform, and we do not want to push any sort of dietary intervention on any woman who feels that it could be harmful to them in anyway. This is why we want you to learn for yourself, talk to your doctor, and healthcare providers about your unique situation and make sure you feel called to any nutritional approach you take for your body. 

What Jamie & Teresa love is learning ourselves, and we love sharing what we have learned with you our listeners. So consider this a fun interview about what we learned from Dr. Pelz and our own knowledge about the cycle and how we can optimize our nutrition to help our hormones, help our menstrual cycles and performance on so many levels of life. We hope you enjoy this episode and share with your friends!

S4 Ep. 1: We're Back! Summer Fun, Updates & Menstrual Cycle 101

Jamie & Teresa want to empower women to be the genius of their own hormones! Part of that mission is helping women know the side effects of synthetic hormones, and especially the lesser known side effects of hormonal birth control. We will take a dive into some of these lesser known effects and make sure you can make an informed decision around taking these medications into your body. Hormonal birth control effects every system in our bodies, and in many ways is the most direct endocrine system disruptor that we put in our bodies as women.  Our understanding of how these hormones effect us is ever evolving in science and medicine, but we know for sure that women themselves know how they feel when they take these medications, and many times the stories of women on the hormonal birth control are not heard! Well we want you to know that we understand that your experience taking birth control are real, and are experienced by many women across the globe. Unfortunately, many doctors do not listen to women, and often keep telling women that these side effects are not important and they dismiss them. It is time to start listening to women and to start giving women options for safer ways to plan their families, to also give them treatments that find the underlying root cause of their period problems and not just band-aid over our menstrual problems. You deserve this, and in fact all women deserve this! Reach out to us and let us know your experience around taking hormonal birth control, was it postive or negative? Do you feel like your medical provider listened to you regarding the symptoms and side effects you were/are experiencing with hormone birth control?

S4 Ep. 3: Pietra Fitness; The Benefits of Stretching for Mind, Body and Soul

For most women, I don't think we think about losing our lives to  heart disease. I think many women worry more about cancer? As a nurse practitioner, I see this every day with my patients, most of them fear breast cancer more than a heart attack, yet heart disease kills women at a rate seven times higher than breast cancer. In fact, one in all female deaths, is due to cardiovascular disease CAD. In general, Cardiovascular disease accounts for more deaths than cancer, accidents, and chronic respiratory issues combined. In The U. S. there are 2200 deaths a day due to CAD which is 1 death every 40 seconds. Needless to say, all of us need to perk up our ears, and our heart and have a better awareness of the risk factors that could impact our own heart health, and what we can do to modify those risks. Literally, our heart beats without resting a moment for each of us. It is the vital organ constantly pumping life through our arteries and veins every second, every minute of the day, so let's take a few minutes to have an awareness of the impact of heart disease particularly in women. Let's start a conversation with ourselves, our healthcare providers, and our loved ones about what steps we can take to keep our hearts pumping happily and healthily for a lifetime!

S4 Ep. 15: Learn About Marvelous Magnesium with Jamie & Teresa

Here is why we are doing a Hormone Genius Podcast solely on the benefits of sleep for your health!
The reasons are numerous but some of the most important are:
-Improved immune system
-Improved hormone regulation
-Decreased stress
-Improved emotional stability
-Brain detoxification
-Improved daytime energy, mind clarity, and daily performance
-Reduced chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease & obesity

Sleep at many points in life has been hard for us to attain; think college, having babies, working shift jobs, or just trying to fit too much in during the day. 

According to the CDC:

70 million Americans have chronic sleep problems (CDC, 2017).
1 in 3 U.S. adults regularly don’t get enough sleep  (CDC, 2016). 
Insufficient sleep is experienced by about 30% of the general population that’s over the age of 18 (CDC, 2018).  
48% of Americans report snoring during the night (ASA, 2021). 
88% of American adults reportedly lose sleep due to binge-watching (American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2019). 
If you are between the ages of 18 to 65 you need on average 7 to 9 hours asleep. 

Best Tips to get the needed 7 to 9 hours of sleep:
-Get up at the same time every day.
-Within the first 2 hours expose your skin to 20 minutes of sunlight, and try a second time during the day to get another 20 minutes of sunlight on your skin. 
-Avoid caffeine after the early morning, or at least 8 to 10 hours before sleep. 
-Avoid napping during the day, and if you must keep it to 45 minutes or less.
-Avoid bright lights after 8 to 10 pm, especially artificial lighting, all digital/screen lights ( get blue blocker glasses if you must use screens). 
 -Keep your room as dim/dark as possible during bedtime hours. 
-Keep your room 1 to 3 degrees cooler while sleeping
 
-For those who struggle with anxiety, or trouble falling asleep, consider adding 200 to 400 mg of magnesium glycinate, and/or 3 to 5 mg of melatonin, and/or 200 mg L-theanine 20 minutes before sleep. 

We cannot stress how important sleep is, the closer you get to 9 hours a night, the more you erase years of lack of sleep and its toll on your health. You cannot continue to rationalize that you must get up at 5 AM for working out, for meditation/prayer/quiet time, or any other reason if you do not get a full night’s sleep. In the end, you will suffer the effects of lack of sleep and you will not make the progress you want to make.

S4 Ep. 16: The Importance of Sleep for Your Health

Jamie & Teresa had the great pleasure of doing a LIVE version of The Hormone Genius Podcast for SEEK24, a faith based conference hosted by FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). This event was attended by over 20,000 people, most being college students, and we were able to speak to hundreds of them about the awesomeness of their hormones. 

Jamie & Teresa reviewed the basics of fertility & hormones, the cycle as a vital sign of health, relationships, birth control, and much more. After the event we handed out 150 copies of Teresa's book The Happy Girls Guide to Being Whole and we answered many questions from women and men we spoke to during the SEEK24 event. 

We are releasing this podcast in hopes it will be a great refresher in content, but also inspire you to continue to empower yourself with information about your feminine design and share it with others. 

Please continue to share our podcast, leave a review, and help other women be empowered to become the genius of their own hormones.

S4 Ep. 18: The Importance of Sexual Health for Women with Sarah Bartel PhD

Welcome Jennifer Winkler to the Hormone Genius Podcast! Jen Winkler is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach based out of Phoenix, Arizona. She received certifications such as Master Health Coach through Primal Health Institute, Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist through Fundamenta Wellness, and Hormone Coach through Fiat Institute. She is a wife and mom to an awesome 7 year old little boy, and resides in Arizona. 

In Jen's own words, "After suffering for many years with epilepsy, insulin resistance, PMS, PCOS, anxiety, panic attacks, and signs of inflammation, I was tired of dealing with it all. I began to immerse myself in hundreds of podcasts, blogs, and books regarding healing through nutrition and lifestyle. I wanted to find healing without the horrible side effects of medication.

And I did it! By lowering my carbs, prioritizing protein, and consuming healthy fats, I was able to get off the majority of my medications, lower my insulin level, balance my blood sugar, clear anxiety, and rid myself of painful periods and PCOS symptoms. Many family and friends asked how I did it. I began helping them to reverse their symptoms as well. This led me to realize this was my new calling in life: to help coach others on what true healthy eating is so they can experience the freedom I did!"

S4 Ep. 19: Tripping Into Truth; A Nutritional Approach to PCOS, Epilepsy & More with Jen Winkler

Are you getting enough Omega 3 in your diet? Do you know where Omega 3’s come from and what the health benefits are to you and your family? Today on the hormone genius Jamie will ask Teresa questions about this topic and we will deep dive into what you need to know to understand the benefits of Omega 3 to your overall health and longevity. We will also go through how to choose a good fish oil supplement that will be safe and quality for your body.  

Examples of sources of Omega 3 fatty acids include: 
The Marine sources EPA/DHA (salmon, mackeral, anchovies, sardines & hering). The Plant sources ALA (Flaxseed, Chia, hemp, walnuts & algae) Omega 6 fatty acids include: corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil & soybean oil. Omega 9 fatty acids include: Sesame oil, avocado, olive oil & peanut oil. By the way Omega 3 & 6 are poly-unsaturated fats and Omega 9's are a mono-unsaturated fat!

We will put some links below that were brought up during this podcast including Omega Quant to be able to test your Omega 3 levels in your blood. Pertinent research including the Reduce it trial and other research that has been done on Omega 3, plus the brands of fish oil and links to check if your brand is certified by a quality 3rd party research organization.

S4 Ep. 20: Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Why You Need More of Them!

Our topic today on The Hormone Genius Podcast is PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric disorder. This particular form of severe PMS effects about 5% of the female population. It happens in the week before menstruation, but can range from 2-3 days before menses up to even 10 days before. It is marked with more mental and emotional changes that are moderate to severe and effect a patients relationships and quality of life. These symptoms often include irritability, depression, anxiety, mood swings, crying, even anger or rage, and many other physical and emotional changes.
It is important for us to understand why PMDD occurs but also treatments and solutions that help women who suffer from this more severe form of PMS. This of course always starts with a woman learning and understanding how to track the symptoms of her body to her own unique cycle. Teresa will dive into some treatments that are offered through NaproTechnology which may be obtained by finding a provider who is trained in this particular women's health science. We will link a provider directory for NaproTechnology here below.

We also have two other directories that may put you in touch with a provider who is trained in a more restorative and cooperative approach to treating your women's health issues.

S4 Ep. 22: Authentic Women's Health in Austin TEXAS April 2024!

Finally, weightlifting is getting the attention it deserves! For years we have learned about how aerobic activity is good for our health and cardiovascular system. But in more recent years, more attention has been given to the benefits of lifting weights. It improves muscle mass, bone density, improves insulin levels, and promotes longevity and cardiovascular health. “Resistance training not only can improve or maintain muscle mass and strength, but also has favorable physiological and clinical effects on cardiovascular disease and risk factors.” American Heart Associaltion

We want you to not only understand the benefits of weights, but also how to start and the do's and don'ts of getting started. Join Jamie, Teresa & Emily having a great conversation about the benefits of weightlifting in your life. So let's dive in with a friend and passionate weight lifter, and registered nurse, Emily. 

Emily loves being married to Dave and raising their six beautiful children. She’s a retired RN. As a homeschooling mom, she finds great joy in sharing new ideas and old books with her kids and gaining her own education in the process. She loves sharing the outdoors with her husband, soaking in early quiet mornings, and hitting the weights at the gym. She writes the newsletter “Mrs6am”- for women who want a more fulfilled femininity and a little fashion and exercise advice on the side.

You can sign up for Emily's newsletter here! https://mrs6am.beehiiv.com/

S4 Ep. 23: Healthy Women Lift Heavy: Weightlifting 101

Fibroids affect over 26 million women in the U.S. and by the time a woman is 50, over 70% of white females, and 84% of black females will have one! More than half of these 26 million women will experience associated symptoms with having fibroids in the uterus, causing disruption in quality of life and healthcare costs as well. Today Jamie & Teresa will look into what fibroids are, and how would you know that you have one? What things do you need to consider in the management of fibroid tumors? The good news is, first of all, they are always benign and not cancerous, but they do sometimes take medical and surgical management and a woman may need to decide which options are best for her. 

Polyps are an overgrowth of endometrial stroma cells that grow within the uterine cavity. They affect about 10% of all women and can happen throughout the reproductive life of a woman, but their peak incidence is from 40 to 50 years of age. They are mostly benign, but in rare cases can be precancerous growths. They are often identified due to the abnormal bleeding they cause for women. About 29% of the time polyps can spontaneously regress, but many times have to be removed through a simple surgical procedure called a polypectomy. 

We cannot fully go through all the options for surgical management because we are not doctors on the hormone genius podcast, but Jamie will ask nurse practitioner Teresa Kenney to help us go through the basics of this women's health issue and have a good overview of what to expect in having this condition

One question that Teresa did not know the answer to during the recording of this podcast, but then found out later, is whether she has a fibroid. Interestingly, Teresa looked at a recent ultrasound and found out that she does! It is small and it doesn't have any impact on her health, but it was something that she was unaware of until she took a deep dive into the issue of fibroids on the Hormone Genius Podcast. 

We hope you continue to enjoy the content on this podcast. Please, like & share our podcast with your friends & family. Please follow us on social media too! Lastly, reviews are amazing and we would love for you to leave us one on the podcast platform of your listening pleasure! Thanks for all your love and support. Jamie & Teresa are so happy to journey alongside you in your holistic women's health story.

S4 Ep. 24: What Are Fibroids and Polyps & Options To Manage Them

Have you ever had a hormone problem or physical condition and wondered if you could heal your body naturally? Most of us who want to live a more holistic lifestyle have, and we want to believe that their are pathways toward healing the body naturally. Today on the Hormone Genius Podcast we have an example of a woman who has learned a lot when it comes to healing her body naturally, and now she wants to help others have this same knowledge and the tools to heal naturally. 

Leah Brueggemann is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional practitioner, specializing in hormonal balance for women. Leah has a personal story of helping her horrible periods become painless, and also healing breast fibroadenomas in her own body with holistic treatments! 

 With the knowledge she has gained in her own personal journey and her education & training, she currently helps women balance their hormones naturally with nutrition, lifestyle and finally getting to the root issue. She has helped over 300 women get painless periods, stabilize their moods, lose weight and scale to 6 figures in their business. Leah has a passion for helping women connect to their cycle, which is their super power. When Leah is not chatting about hormones you will probably find her hanging out with her two sons and husband in the outdoors or reading a good book.
