Show notes
Today, I’m delighted to share a compilation of adrenal-centric discussions with experts Drs. Sonya Jensen, Carrie Jones, Scott Sherr, and Will Bulsiewicz, and geneticist Dr. Yael Joffe, Nurse Practitioner Heather Quaile, and Physician's Assistant McCall McPherson.
In this masterclass, we explore the effects of generational silence and how the thrifty genotype impacts the likelihood of poor metabolic health outcomes over time. We define the GABAergic system and the effects of decreased progesterone in perimenopause, and examine how our immune and nervous systems are impacted in midlife. We discuss the impact of GABA cofactors, the connection between adrenal and thyroid health, how stress affects ovarian aging, and the impact of genetics on our lifestyle choices and responses. We also unpack shift work and circadian rhythm disruption, and their influence on the gut microbiome.
Join us for today’s action - and information-packed, adrenal-centric podcast. I know you will enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it all together.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
The impact of generational trauma on stress resilience and metabolic health across generations
How famine exposure, family history, and cultural background could contribute to our metabolic and hormonal health
How estrogen metabolism pathways can influence hormone balance and long-term health
The importance of B vitamins, magnesium, amino acids, protein, and overall nutritional status for healthy liver function and detoxification
How ongoing fight-or-flight activation can impair energy production and contribute to a cycle of worsening stress and fatigue
How hormones, sleep, toxins, infections, and insulin resistance can influence mitochondrial performance
The importance of optimizing thyroid and adrenal dysfunction together
How chronic stress and adverse childhood experiences can influence ovarian aging
How gut barrier dysfunction can contribute to chronic low-grade inflammation
