2023/08/23

I try not to play favorites with my episodes, but this is going down as one of my favorite episodes to record because I have found this framework so profoundly helpful. On this show I talk about letting go of the idea of striking a balance in life because this notion is nonsense and leave us always stressed and guilty because the truth is every day one are of your life will demand more of your time and attention. Sick kid? Deadline? Going through a divorce? Up for a promotion? Training for an event

2023/08/16

Low back pain can be so disruptive to your training, your sleep and your hormones given that inflammation from nagging injuries can impact hormones across the board. One of the key aspects of treating this condition is knowing where you need to be stronger and where you need less focus on strength and more on flexibility. Megan covers all that as well as her favorite - and least favorite - core strengthening exercises if you’re dealing with low back pain. We talk as well about changes during

In this episode, I go over all aspects of this dicey hormonal time, the symptoms that can arise, when to see your doc and of course what you can do to feel better! This time in a woman’s life can be stressful for so many reasons relating to transitions, up and down hormones, reflecting and reassessing our lives and so many changes in family and relationships. But it doesn't have to be miserable! I cover a range of symptoms in this episode from joint pain to brain fog to sleep disruption and hot

Even if you never have a sip of wine this interview is fascinating! Zack is a wealth of knowledge about the microbiome as well as how to “teach” a favorable, safe bacteria that’s already in our gut how to metabolize a breakdown product of alcohol through genetic modification. It sounds like science fiction - and it sounds scary. I mean GMO right?? But it turns out how bacteria are modified is very different than modifying plants in our food source for a couple of reasons making this FDA regulated

I often say if you can’t fix sleep problems, you can’t fix any hormone problems. Sleep comes up in a lot of my podcast episodes for that reason! However on this episode I’m joined by Dr. Valerie Cacho to talk about several things I have covered less often on the show including sleep studies, sleep apnea and other medical issues that can impact our sleep. We touch on various types of sleep studies as well so you can know if you’re really being evaluated the way you need to for your unique sleep

2023/07/19

I put a call out for podcast questions in my free Facebook group (join us here) and there were so many on HRT specifically that I did an entire episode on it. I cover delivery methods, what bioidentical HRT actually means (hint: it is not the same as compounded and they do not have to come from a functional doc), how to know when your dose is just right and when is the ideal time to start and stop HRT. As well, I talk about what your other options are besides HRT or in addition to HRT. Women do not

2023/07/08

Oh if I had a dollar….honestly…I hear this literally every single day. I hear is so often that I decided to dedicate an entire episode to it! So many of you have a body comp or weight loss goal - this applies to working on a chronic health issue too - and you feel like you’re doing so much and when you describe your efforts you can’t understand why, for all the energy, time and money you’re spending, you aren’t getting better results. Most of us feel like we are doing everything right and can feel

Dr. Brooke Show ·

2023/07/05

Originally intended to treat type II diabetes, these injectable drugs are now widely available (and quite pricey) as medications for weight loss - and they do produce weight loss! However, because these medications work on hormones that are secreted from the digestive tract, they of course have a host of gastric side effects that can make them unpleasant but again effective. When you look a bit closer though at the quality of the weight loss we see it isn’t such a magic bullet after all. This means

On the whole, we know exercise is helpful to balance blood sugar. However, for those of you that feel badly after exercise or those of you that get a strange reading on your CGM (continuous glucose monitor) after a workout I wanted to clear up any confusion as to what’s happening and why. In this episode I also cover what types of training cause various types of blood sugar highs and lows, what’s a problem and what’s not as well as how to adjust if you’re not feeling great after a workout or running

With more and more of my patients testing positive for mold derived mycotoxins in my practice, I wanted to welcome back to the show environmental professional Michael Schrantz to answer specific questions about how to take the next steps. When we find mycotoxins on a urine test in my practice, the next step is trying to figure out where the mold is coming from in the patient’s environment. This is often when things get very overwhelming! And potentially, very expensive. With the wide variety of

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Britt’s work on Instagram and I’m so glad I did because after I devoured her book (The Science of Stuck, Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward) in a day, I asked her to be on the show! We’ve all felt stuck at one time or another and it can leave us asking disempowering questions like “what's wrong with me” or “why can’t I do what I need to do” that leave us more stuck and anxious than we already were!

Dr. Brooke Show ·

2023/06/17

This is a dicey episode for sure and I’m certain it will have a lot of you rethinking your supplement regimen. Iodine is most often used to improve thyroid or breast health but it’s important to understand the whole story about how these recommendations came about and why more iodine can actually be bad for both. Iodine is an essential nutrient that we absolutely need for thyroid function as well as other systems in our bodies, HOWEVER, it’s a Golidlock’s nutrient if there ever was one. When you

She may be the most unsung hero in the supplement world - especially for women in their 40s and beyond. She’s got loads of research that spans decades demonstrating her safety, relatively inexpensive and super effective - she is creatine! Providing benefits for your brain, bones, muscles and metabolism (literally all the stuff we’re after right?) creatine is a real powerhouse when it comes to nutrients. This episode will help you understand how to take this powerful nutrient for maximum benefits

2023/06/07

With Marth’s recent Sports Illustrated cover, the internet is ablaze with opinions on women, beauty standards and how we should look in a bathing suit in our 80s. Much of this unrealistic standard of beauty is not now, like not new at all, but what was interesting to me is that most of the comments about this cover shoot were from women. Whether you’re in the “she looks amazing for her age” camp or the “this is absurd, no woman in their 80s would look like this without a lot of money and

2023/05/31

That’s a tough question, right? It can be tricky to know if you need to give yourself grace or a kick in the pants. It can be especially tricky if you have ever pushed yourself too hard. We are experiencing a real push back to hustle culture and the idea of #noexcuses and this is a really good thing. But sometimes we do need to push ourselves to get a workout in or to finish that task and with all our internal chatter and conditioning it can be hard to know when you’re treating yourself with respect

2023/05/24

Oh my do I open a can of worms on this episode…..but it’s an important topic for many reasons. We do not all need all the things all the time and we do want our regimen to change with our changes needs in most instances. And we can’t expect a supplement to always get us out of hot water if we continue with habits that don’t work for us. However, a popular IG account made a reel saying that your body can heal completely without the use of any supplemental support ever, ever. Worse, the tone of the

This was a really fun episode! Sugaring is a unique hair removal process that tends to have way less pain and skin irritation compared with traditional waxing. Historically though, you had to go to a spa to have it done but with Sugar Sugar Wax you can do it at home! This product is just so cool because you can use it anywhere on your body, it’s organic, it’s biodegradable and it’s compostable. And perhaps most importantly, once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy to use and bonus: not messy at
