S5 Ep. 28: Charting Your Cycle—The Key to Real Women’s Health with Haley Yeager 1:01:18

منذ 3 أيام1:01:18

1:01:18

In this episode of The Hormone Genius, we sit down with Haley Yeager to explore a topic every woman deserves to understand—how charting your cycle can be a life-changing tool for health, healing, and wholeness. Contrary to popular belief, menstrual cycle charting isn’t just for family planning. It’s one of the most powerful insights a woman can have into her overall health. A well-charted cycle acts like a monthly report card, revealing signs of hormonal imbalances, fertility struggles, or conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. It’s not just about reproduction—it’s about connection with your body. We also discuss the widespread use of hormonal birth control as a catch-all solution for reproductive concerns. While the pill may manage symptoms, it often masks the real issue, delaying diagnosis and treatment. True healing begins with understanding what's actually happening in the body—and that starts with cycle awareness. Haley shares her own powerful journey. At 16, she was prescribed the pill to manage irregular periods but quickly experienced intense side effects. Unsatisfied with masking symptoms, she turned to cycle charting and, through the help of a knowledgeable OBGYN, was diagnosed with PCOS. This shift allowed her to manage her health naturally—and ultimately led to the conception of her three beautiful children. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: 👉 Truth & Fertility | Haley Yeager This conversation is a must-listen for women seeking real answers, holistic care, and a deeper understanding of the body they were beautifully designed to live in. 💊 A special thanks to our partner, We Heart Nutrition!

S5 Ep. 26: Ovulation & Health: The Power of Your Natural Cycle 53:52

منذ 24 يومًا53:52

53:52

Hey friends! In today’s episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and I are diving deep into a question one of our listeners asked us: What makes ovulation healthy, and why is it such an important sign of overall health? We often hear ovulation talked about in terms of reproduction, but it's so much more than that. Ovulation is the main hormonal event in our reproductive system, and it’s a major indicator of your overall health. From the brain to the bones, and even your muscles, ovulation has wide-reaching benefits that go beyond just fertility. In this episode, we’ll break down how the incredible balance of hormones—like estrogen and progesterone—works together during ovulation to support your health in ways you might not even realize. For example, estrogen plays a huge role in protecting your heart, bones, and brain, while progesterone helps manage stress, inflammation, and supports brain health. It’s like a symphony of hormones that need to work together to keep us in balance. We’ll also dive into the impact of hormonal birth control. While it may seem like an easy fix for some, it actually suppresses the natural process of ovulation and can shut down the production of your own estrogen and progesterone. So, what does that mean for your body—both short-term and long-term? Women are starting to ask more questions about the potential effects of birth control on their hormones, and we’re here to dig into what we know and still need to understand. If you’ve ever wondered about the true health benefits of ovulation or how birth control might be affecting you in the long run, this episode is for you! 💊 A Big Thanks to Our Sponsor: We Heart Nutrition Before we get started, I want to give a huge shout-out to our sponsor, We Heart Nutrition. If you’re looking for high-quality, research-backed supplements to support your health, you’ve got to check them out.

Did you know that 50% of women will experience some form of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in their lifetime? Whether you're young or older, it's important to understand this common female condition and learn what you can do to prevent or manage it. In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa dive deep into the topic of pelvic organ prolapse—an issue that affects more women than you might think. Over 200,000 women in the U.S. undergo surgery each year to correct POP, but surgery is not your only option. There are many things you can do to help manage and even prevent the condition from worsening. We’ll take a closer look at the different types of POP, including cystocele (bladder prolapse), uterine prolapse, and rectocele (rectal prolapse), and discuss the risk factors that many women face as they age. Throughout the episode, Jamie asks Teresa all the tough questions about how our pelvic floor changes over time, and what actions we can take to maintain its health. We’ll also explore prevention and treatment options, with a special focus on the importance of pelvic floor therapy and exercises to keep your pelvic floor strong and functioning properly. Hormones also play a big role in the health of the pelvic floor, and we’ll discuss the best ways to support these tissues, including options like estradiol vaginal treatments, DHEA vaginal applications, and topical solutions such as Julva. We’ve linked some great resources below to help you explore these options further.

Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast, we welcome back a deeply respected guest and friend of the show—Dr. Marguerite Duane, executive director of FACTS About Fertility. This episode tackles a topic that touches the lives of so many women, yet remains clouded by silence and unanswered questions: miscarriage. With 1 in 4 women experiencing miscarriage, the emotional toll is profound—but what’s often more painful is not knowing why it happened. In this powerful and compassionate conversation, Dr. Duane sheds light on the real causes of miscarriage, how it can be properly evaluated, and what steps women can take to advocate for themselves in the medical system. Miscarriage is complex and can stem from multiple factors. Dr. Duane discusses the importance of personalized, thorough evaluations and restorative reproductive medicine to uncover the root issues behind loss. If you've experienced miscarriage or work in women’s health, this episode is both empowering and essential. 🔗 Explore the educational work of FACTS About Fertility: factsaboutfertility.org 📌 Featured Links: FACTS Pre-Conference in Orlando, FL – Open to everyone!

S5 Ep. 16: “The Hidden Dangers of Copper Toxicity: Honoring Krista Labbe’s Legacy” 45:15

منذ 18 weeks45:15

45:15

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we honor the life and legacy of Krista Labbe—a Certified Nurse Midwife, U.S. Army officer, and fierce advocate for women’s health—whose untimely passing in 2023 shed light on a silent but serious risk: copper toxicity linked to the copper IUD. Krista's story is not only one of courage and advocacy but also a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of informed consent in birth control decisions. Despite being a trained medical professional, Krista experienced unexplained anxiety, chronic infections, and other debilitating symptoms—later traced back to elevated copper levels. Through her experience, we uncover critical insights about copper metabolism, the limitations of traditional blood tests, and the emerging role of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in uncovering hidden mineral imbalances. 🔍 In this episode, we cover: Krista’s health journey and her battle with copper toxicity The science of how copper accumulates in the body Why standard blood tests often miss mineral imbalances The value of HTMA for deeper health diagnostics The importance of advocacy and full-body literacy in women’s health This episode is both a tribute and a call to action—encouraging women to dig deeper, ask harder questions, and empower themselves with the knowledge to make informed choices about their health. 🔗 Resources Mentioned: Krista’s Story: kristalabbe.com Copper Toxicity Info: coppertoxic.com HTMA Testing: mineralsandhealth.com/order Natural Womanhood Article: Read the Article 🙏 Special thanks to Natural Womanhood for amplifying this vital conversation. 🎙 Interested in Sponsoring The Hormone Genius Podcast?

منذ 20 weeks52:55

52:55

Podcast Overview: The Truth About Ultra-Processed Foods In this episode, we explore the eye-opening insights from Chris van Tulleken’s book, Ultra-Processed People, revealing the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). UPFs, often found in sugary snacks, ready meals, and sodas, are loaded with artificial additives, preservatives, and unrecognizable ingredients. These foods are designed to be addictive, altering brain chemistry and driving overconsumption, as evidenced by studies like Kevin Hall's 2019 trial, which showed participants eating 500 extra calories daily on a UPF diet. The result? Weight gain, mood shifts, and chronic health issues like obesity and diabetes. UPFs' dominance stems from systemic factors, including marketing, affordability, and convenience, but their health impacts are far-reaching. From ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup to artificial flavors and emulsifiers, these foods are engineered for taste and shelf life at the expense of nutrition. Tune in to learn how to identify UPFs, understand their effects, and take simple steps toward healthier, whole-food alternatives.

Have you lost your period? Are you very irregular and not sure what the underlying reasons for having either NO periods, or are super irregular? This episode of The Hormone Genius will no doubtedly help you get to the underlying problem. Teresa Kenney WHNP is going to give you a deep dive into two conditions, PCOS & HA. These are two of the most common underlying women's health disorders that cause a lack of ovulation, and therefore a lack of menstrual periods! You may have heard about PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), but Jamie & I are guessing you know less about HA (hypothalamic amenorrhea). Oftentimes, these 2 diagnoses present with similar symptoms and even your doctor may be confused on which one you have! So we will break down the differences so you can be a true advocate for your health and figure out how to get your missing periods back. PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in women between the ages of 15 to 45, so many times it is a quickly slapped on diagnosis. However, HA is also very common, and accounts for over a 1/3rd of cases of secondary amenorrhea. Both of these conditions have different underlying causes, and both can be treated with a root cause holistic approach. Both PCOS & HA have health consequences if not treated; so if your period has been irregular or missing, you truly want to find the right health care professional to get your period back and healthy!

S4 Ep. 24: Fibroids and Uterine Polyps & Options To Manage Them 39:36

منذ 44 weeks39:36

39:36

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. We thank our sponsor for today Dr. Monica Minjuer of Radiant Health! Make sure to check out their website at radiantclinic.com where you can schedule a FREE discovery call with Dr Minjeur to learn more about if their services are the right fit for you.

منذ 45 weeks55:59

Do you feel like you are in the dark when it comes to understanding perimenopause to menopause? Like many areas of the woman's body and her health, there has been a lack of education and support to women. This is true of women going through the transition to stopping their menstrual cycles for good. The good news is more noise is being made about this topic, and we want to join the conversion on The Hormone Genius podcast today and dive into the questions you have about perimenopause and menopause. Jamie and Teresa will discuss this particular transition towards ovarian quiescence; including the common symptoms of perimenopause to menopause, and the options for treatment. Jamie & Teresa will review some of the questions you sent in for us to answer on this particular episode, including themes around weight gain and menopause mood symptoms, hormone therapy, and so much more! One of the most common concerns is whether women should take hormone replacement therapy. This has been a controversial issue for sure, but we will give you a renewed sense of hope in this area of women's health. The great news is that hormones can continue to help womens bodies through menopause and beyond. Hormones have benefits to our quality of life as women, but they also have health and longevity benefits as well. We will take a look at all of these options and also help you focus on becoming the best version of yourself at 45, at 55, 65 and beyond, because that is what we all want is to be healthy and vital for as long as we can on this great earth. We will look also at the Women's Health Initiative and the unfortunate reality that this large study was misintepreted, and therefore has not given women appropriate informed consent around the decision of using hormone replacement therapy. Hopefully, we will give you a new look at this issue giving you more information, so you feel more confident in talking to your doctor/healthcare professional.

Bekah Yawn is no stranger to being on the Hormone Genius Podcast, and today, as a certified Fiat hormone coach she is going to help us understand a path forward for healing & answers after miscarriage. Many women will go through the difficult loss of a child; in fact rates for miscarriage are between 20 to 30% for women in the U.S. which is a sad statistic. One of the most difficult things about miscarriage, besides the incredible loss of human life, is that many women will never know the 'why' behind the loss. Most miscarriages are chalked up to either a genetic issue or a fluke of nature, which is not always a satisfying answer. It is true also, that no woman wants to go through a miscarriage again, so they want to know how they can prevent a miscarriage in their future. This is why we are doing this podcast today. We want to give a path forward, a proactive and positive approach for what to do after the loss of a baby. We will give practical and proactive steps to take for cycle tracking, and other areas to look into with your hormonal health, to optimize your body and fertility for a future pregnancy.

S4 Ep. 30: Naprotechnology: A Root Cause Approach to Women's Health 46:39

منذ 48 weeks46:39

46:39

If you have been tired of the "band-aid" approach to healthcare, particularly in women's health, then you will want to hear about Naprotechnology. Otherwise, referred to as Natural Procreative Technology, Napro is considered a more root cause approach to women's health care. It is designed to cooperate with the natural cycle and restore the underlying problem back to health. Naprotechnology was developed in the early 1990's by Dr. Thomas Hilgers an OB/GYN who also developed the Creighton Model System of Natural Family Planning. This charting system is the foundation of Napro and it is used by doctors, NP's and other health care professionals as a diagnostic tool to understand diagnoses like; infertility, endometriosis, PCOS, PMS, abnormal bleeding and so much more. It has been very successful for many women, especially in the area of infertility with statistics showing that it is more successful then artificial reproductive technologies to achieve pregnancy. We hope this episode of The Hormone Genius will empower you to have another tool in your toolbox, another option for taking care of your female body. One that respects the natural design of your hormones and the superpowers that we have as women.

Inflammation is a big word, a big human metabolic response, that yields both positives and negatives to the human body. On one hand, acute inflammation is a survival mechanism to drive the immune system to come to the aid of our body's injuries & illnessess. Inflammation is a response that literally saves our lives & heals our wounds. But, if it becomes chronic and the balance of inflammation is not brought back to homeostasis, then chronic inflammation will drive disease and break down cellular health through free radicals & oxidative stress. Inflammation is consdered the root of all disease from obesity, to arthritis, to cancer, endometriosis, autoimmune diseases, fatty liver and so many more health issues that plague the human person. Symptoms of inflammation include; digestive inflammation, food intolerances, aches & pains, fatigue, skin rashes & allergies, and many more. Jamie has been working with her FIAT Hormone Health Coaches on the root of inflammation in the GUT, and she is leading us today in this great discussion about what we can do to help keep the balance in our own body's and drive out inflammation that is chronic and unwanted. We will look at the GUT as a primary source and driver of inflammation since the gut through intestinal permeability (leaky gut) leads to inflammation. We will also discuss practical ways to reduce inflammation in your life, through nutrition, lifestyle, antioxidants and breathing.

S4 Ep. 26: Mineral Toxicity & Depression During Pregnancy; A Story of Healing 44:31

منذ 1 year44:31

44:31

Today we will hear a story of perinatal depression from our guest Amanda Dailey. This story is difficult to hear and may be triggering for some who have had depression during pregnancy and also post partum. Amanda is sharing her story to "shine a light in the darkness." The good news is that is is full of hope and healing as well! So be ready to go on a journey with Amanda as she shares her difficult experiences related to her last pregnancy and severe mental health issues. Did you know that about 11% of women will have perinatal depression (depression or other mental health issues during pregnancy). This is important to know and for women to understand that they are not alone when suffering with depression during pregnancy. Risk factors for depression or other mental health issues in pregnancy include: A history of depressive, bipolar, or anxiety disorders A family history of depressive disorders or perinatal disorders An unplanned or teenage pregnancy A multiple birth A difficult or traumatic pregnancy or birth An ongoing health problem with the baby A lack of social support with low socioeconomic status and financial difficulties (https://www.ccjm.org/content/87/5/273) Untreated depression during the postpartum period also has repercussions for both the mother and her baby. For the mother, it can lead to intense sadness, marked anxiety, and a lack of interest in life and the child, often resulting in poor or absent maternal bonding with the infant. It is also associated with failure to initiate breastfeeding or a shortened duration of breastfeeding. Amanda will also give us beautiful information about a new project and organization that her family is starting The Philomena Project to give help to other mothers in this situation. In her own words" through my faith, support of family & friends, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and therapy have helped me to heal. It is not a quick fix. A Christian artist Tasha Layton once shared what someone told her: “Depression is just the body's way of saying something needs to change.” Depression was just one of the symptoms to my underlying nutrient deficiencies in my body. It took over a year and half to discover this, but listening to my gut - the answers are in my body - proved to save my life and lead me to a truth path of healing."

منذ 1 year36:04

36:04

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. https://fertilitycare.org/find-a-mc 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. https://femmhealth.org/medical-providers/ https://www.factsaboutfertility.org/facts-physician-clinician-educator-directory/ Thanks to our sponsor today, Rita Johnson, a nutritional therapist specializing in women's health, fertility, and holistic wellness.

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!"

S5 Ep. 13: Low Dose Naltrexone; Miracle Drug or Hype? Find Out Now 42:59

منذ 22 weeks42:59

42:59

Teresa Kenney NP here! For many years, I have been able to see patients benefit from this medication called low dose naltrexone. But is it more hype than for real? It has been known to be a treatment for an incredible amount of conditions including; autoimmune diseases of every sort, chronic pain, PMS, infertility, pyschiatric disorders, and more. That is what it makes it seem unbelievable, a drug that can help such a wide complex of symptoms and conditions. But I am here to tell you that it may be true. We actually have decent research that proves low dose naltrexone, with its immune system modulation powers, and endorphin boosting capability, can truly treat diseases. What I love about LDN is that it is a more root cause approach than most treatments. Through its ability to help our own immune system reduce inflammation markers, and target tissues to gain cellular health, it truly can allow restoration through an underlying root cause way. Now in certain areas, we have a long way to go in terms of the research, and that includes the area of women's health, especially fertility. You can see that Dr. Phil Boyle is leading the charge in this area by following his work on YouTube. Just search his name and low dose naltrexone and he has several videos. I mention a podcast I listened to about the science of LDN and that link is here; https://open.spotify.com/episode/4o4unT9C6IezTuA7qUydfj This is a real deep dive into the science of LDN that I found very fascinating. Other resources mentioned in this podcast, are the low dose research organization, https://ldnresearchtrust.org/ which has put all of the collective research about low dose naltrexone in one spot. This podcast hopefully will give you some new insights into a drug that has been around for many years and continues to evolve, even in the area of cancer research they are finding the ability to suppress tumor growth with LDN! That doesn't mean this drug is for everyone, but it may be for you, and therefore we believe you deserve to have this information and talk to your own doctor, do your own research about LDN, and decide if looking into this treatment is the right path for healing for your individual health concerns. Again, we stress that this is not medical advice this podcast is for information only, and you should definitely discuss LDN with your doctor. Also, know that most doctors are not familiar with low dose naltrexone, and are only familiar with regular dose naltrexone which is prescribed for drug addiction, smoking addiction and weight loss. That is why it is good to be prepared with research and empower yourself to know what the differences between low dose and regular dose naltrexone are. Thanks to our sponsor Fiat Institute! If the content you’re hearing on this podcast has stirred something in your heart, and you feel called to be part of the change—to launch a mission in hormone health, wellness, and true women’s health care—then this program is for you! The Fiat Institute certifies women as hormone coaches in a six-month program. You’ll learn about gut health, inflammation, liver detox, cycle charting, cycle-syncing, root cause restoration, and the FiatWay Coaching Methodology.

Have you ever wondered why doctors are unable to offer any alternatives for women's health issues, other than synthetic birth control? Jamie & Teresa will take a shot at answering this question with some help from a family medicine doctor Rachel Regan! Dr. Regan is passionate about other physicians knowing that it is possible to treat with alternatives to birth control, and give more holistic options for her patients. Dr. Rachel Regan is a board-certified Family Medicine physician who is currently practicing in the Dayton, OH area. She is an NFP-only physician and training to be a NaPro Medical Consultant. She graduated from Caribbean Medical University and then completed residency in 2023 through the University of Tennessee in Jackson, TN. As a Catholic physician she is passionate about teaching women about Natural Family Planning and alternatives to birth control, which eventually lead her to creating a website and blog to make information more easily available to women and couples. "I believe that there are much better alternatives to treating reproductive health problems than birth control. Not only does birth control go against many people's moral values and have a many potential side effects, but it can not be used to diagnose or treat the underlying cause of cycle irregularities and infertility. As an NFP-only physician, I wish that teaching about NFP and alternative treatment options was more widely accepted and taught within medical schools."

S5 Ep. 9: A Deep Look at Cervical Fluid; The Key Sign of Ovulation 37:58

منذ 27 weeks37:58

37:58

Cervical mucus/fluid is the sign of the main event! It is the gatekeeper of your fertility as well. It is through changes in cervical fluid that your fertility opens and closes in a 5-7 day window around the main event of ovulation. The cervical fluid that tells us that ovulation is approaching has very specific properties. Cervical fluid is a hydrogel, or in other words it is mostly water, 90 to 95% water to be more precise. It contains mucin, glycoproteins, and nutrients that help sperm survive and thrive. As our hormones change, our cervical mucus changes, when the estrogen rises during ovulation our fluid becomes more watery, like raw egg whites and it becomes clear and stretchy, and very slippery. This should be an obvious sign of our bodies that we can observe when wiping front to back in the restroom daily. You can start paying attention every day when doing your regular routine by noting the sensation that you feel when you wipe front to back; was it dry, or smooth, or was it slippery? Look at the tissue next and observe whether you see mucus on the tissue; what does it look like? If you pick it up off the tissue, does it stretch more than an inch? Is it clear or cloudy? These are simple ways to be observant of the changes in your cervical fluid through the menstrual cycle. You can learn to chart these symptoms daily as well in your menstrual tracking chart! Again, the cervical fluid is a biological valve that turns on our fertility, and turns off our fertility. It opens and closes based on the hormonal messages that our cervix is receiving through the body. Estrogen in high amounts creates an increase in cervical fluid. Progesterone dries cervical fluid, therefore after ovulation most women are dry, or have very little vaginal discharge.

S5 Ep. 5: Three Supplements That May Benefit Your Health: N-AC, DIM & Myo-Inositol 40:16

منذ 33 weeks40:16

40:16

Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast we are talking about 3 popular supplements. N-Acetyl-Cysteine, DIM, and Myo-Inositol. We are diving into what Jamie & Teresa know and recommend in regards to what health benefits could be possible from considering one or more of these 3 supplements. Now it first is important to remember to talk to your trusted health care professional in regards to whether you personally should, or should not take these or any supplement. It is also important to remember that it is good to do your own research. For example, you can look into the database sponsored by the National Institutes of Health called Pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and look at all the research articles that exist in regards to these supplements. If you want to have a better idea of how to choose a quality supplement consider this article by FullScript which gives some basic but good information about knowing which supplement companies make quality and responsible products, https://fullscript.com/blog/third-party-certifications. Okay, here is a simple 101 on each supplement we are discussing, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. (NAC) N-acetyl-cysteine is an essential amino acid, a precursor to glutathione, our master antioxidant, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory rich properties. It is used as a detoxification of the liver, especially beneficial for overdoses of acetaminophen. It has been used to treat and support different lung diseases, as it is anti-inflammatory and reduces oxidative stress. It has been used to treat many other diseases, including OCD & trichotillomania, viruses, PCOS, endometriosis, and lastly because of its mucolytic properties has been used to improve quality cervical mucus in patients trying to conceive. (DIM) Diindolylmethane, a compound that comes from cruciferous vegetables, has been found potentially to benefit the modulation and support of estrogen metabolism. The evidence is growing and its use in the supplement world has been growing as well to benefit estrogen dominance, and promote better detoxification of hormones. DIM has done most of its research on stopping the growth of cancer cells, and some research is promising, but more is needed to know if DIM could be used effectively for cancer. Myo-Inositol is a natural isomer of glucose that has some powerful effects in the body. It has been studied well, and found to improve ovulation & menstrual cycles, body mass index, insulin level and cholesterol. It has been studied to prevent gestational diabetes, and also has been used to treat OCD, and other mental health disorders. But, it is most well known for its use in PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) for restoring ovulation, helping with high androgen levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and pregnancy rates. We hope you find this information empowering, and invite you to do your own thorough research and talk to your personal healthcare professional about what supplements are right for you. Also, if you have had a positive experience with one of these three nutrients, please share your story at thehormonegenius@gmail.com!

There is a growing amount of research that also says that hormones effect the way you make financial decisions as well!

"I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, which has fueled my need to advocate for women with chronic pain conditions.

She is currently treating survivors with stage 0-1 lymphedema. Lisa found her passion for pelvic health after the birth of her daughter and her own diagnosis with endometriosis.
