    If you're eating well, exercising, prioritizing protein, and still struggling with weight gain in perimenopause or menopause, you're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with hormone expert Karen Martel to talk about why midlife weight gain is often more complex than calories in and calories out. We discuss how shifts in progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid function, and stress hormones can impact metabolism, cravings, muscle mass, and insulin sensitivity. We also explore hormone replacement therapy, insulin resistance, and the growing use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Karen shares what she sees most often in practice, why some women continue to struggle despite doing everything right, and how to think about weight loss resistance through a broader hormonal and metabolic lens. If you've been wondering why your body feels different in midlife, this episode is for you. What you’ll learn: Why weight loss becomes more challenging during perimenopause and menopause How changing hormone levels affect metabolism and body composition The connection between sleep, stress, cravings, and weight gain Why insulin resistance can develop even in women with healthy habits How thyroid health influences weight and metabolic function What hormone replacement therapy can and cannot do for weight loss When GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for midlife women Signs that deeper metabolic or hormonal factors may be contributing to weight loss resistance After listening, you'll have a better understanding of the hormonal changes that shape weight and metabolism in midlife, along with practical considerations for supporting your health.

    642. This Changed My Skin More Than My Facelift + The Hair Treatment That Actually Works
    Jun 26 2026
    I sit down with Dr. Steve Scottsdale to discuss some of the newest developments in regenerative aesthetics and why they may be changing the way we think about skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. We explore the science behind Neogen Plasma, a nitrogen-based cold plasma treatment that aims to stimulate collagen and elastin production without the heat and tissue damage associated with many traditional laser procedures. We also talk about aging skin, collagen loss, facial volume changes, and why some practitioners are moving away from the "damage and repair" approach that has dominated the aesthetics industry for years. We shift the conversation to hair loss, examining an emerging treatment designed to support both scalp health and follicle regeneration. Dr. Steve explains how this technology works, who may benefit from it, and why understanding the underlying causes of hair thinning matters as much as treating the symptoms. What you’ll learn: Why some practitioners are rethinking traditional ablative laser treatments The role collagen, elastin, and facial volume play in how we age How cold plasma technology differs from conventional laser procedures What to realistically expect during recovery and healing The connection between skin barrier health and long-term skin quality Why regenerative approaches are gaining attention in aesthetic medicine How emerging hair restoration therapies aim to support follicle health What questions to ask before choosing any skin or hair treatment provider If you're curious about anti-aging treatments, navigating changes in your skin and hair, or simply interested in the evolving science of regenerative medicine, this episode is a must-listen!

    641. The Hidden Dangers of Suppressing Your Cycle: What Every Woman Should Know About Birth Control, PCOS, and Hormone Health
    Jun 23 2026
    Women's hormones influence far more than fertility, yet many women are never taught how deeply their cycles affect their overall health. In this episode, I sit down with Alisa Vitti, founder of Flo Living and creator of the cycle syncing method, to discuss the connection between hormones, metabolism, menstrual health, and long-term well-being. Alisa shares her personal experience of being diagnosed with what was formerly known as PCOS, the limitations she encountered within conventional care, and how that journey led her to spend decades studying women's hormonal health and developing practical strategies to support it. What you’ll learn: Why the recent name change from PCOS may be more significant than it first appears What ovulation contributes to health beyond reproduction The connection between blood sugar regulation and hormone balance Why some common menstrual symptoms may be worth taking more seriously How cycle syncing is designed to work with changing hormone patterns throughout the month The questions women should consider before relying on medications as a first step What PMS may be communicating about overall hormone function Why daily habits can have a greater impact on long-term hormone health than many people realize If you've ever wondered whether your cycle, symptoms, or hormonal shifts are trying to tell you something important, this episode offers a thoughtful place to start.
