Carol Petersen is back for this first podcast episode on the New Year. In this conversation we aimed to fill in some of the gaps left from our last chat in December (go check it out).

Then we moved into testing hormones, administration and...

Did you know half of annual weight gain occurs between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. HALF! Ouch! Science shows that the average person gains between 5-10lbs over the holidays. No wonder so many people start off the New Year with the same goal to lose weight and get in shape, only to abandon it within the first few weeks. Don’t let it happen to you. You’re so much more than a statistic and YOU DESER...

This was a very open conversation with our individual experiences with weight loss, and opinio...

In this episode we are learning about TOFI - thin on the outside and fat on the inside. Just because someone in slim or "skinny" does not mean that they are healthy. Especially if that person does not have a lot of muscle. TOFI can be a high risk factor for several metabolic diseases and sometimes the only way to find out if you are at risk is through testing. Find out more in this podcast episode...

Dr John E Lewis joins me in this podcast conversation to help us understand polysaccharides, how they can support our immune system and help to reduce inflammation.

We hope you enjoy this podcast conversation and...

Its very common that I speak to someone who believes they have low thyroid function or "hypothyroidism", and they are not getting help from conventional medicine. You may get TSH tested, which is almost irrelevant, and then sent home after being told "everything looks normal". But I believe many of us know our own body better then any doctor - we have lived here for many years. So I wanted to remi...

With the rise of Ozempic over the last year, I have been getting questions about alternatives - one such question that keeps popping up is around Berberine. And not just for weight loss but also for its anti inflammatory properties. So it was time to "revisit" Berberine and take a look at how its works and what its benefits are. Check it out! References to research are below along with the link to...

But it was time we revisited GABA, because more research has surfaced showing GABAs effects on focus, Serotonin and even weight issues! I hope you enjo...

With all the talk around Thyroid health, we often forget or overlook the "Parathyroid". This is a mistake because PTH can be directly influenced by stress and in turn can cause leaching of calcium from the bones and increase swelling or fluid retention in the body. The research also shows us that people with with an overactive parathyroid, also have issues with their weight. Take a listen to this...
