#043 Leptin, Leptin Resistance, and Fiber Intake, Why It Matters, and Health Benefits if Adding It In

Today, I am chatting about all things leptin, what it is, what it does in the body, what part of the body receives its "signal", and what can block it! Also, what happens when this signal gets inhibited and how to fix it.We also talk about the pleasure/reward balance from food; how leptin and insulin can be the most amazing regulators in a balanced system for this for appetite control, and how it can be our worst enemy when out of balance promoting a biochemical addiction to quick energy foods, and of course - how to bring balance to the system with these two hormones. I then go into all things fiber, the two types of fiber we need to incorporate more of, and how it is VITAL that we get our fiber from whole food sources for the most impact. I go into everything from hoeing with hormone balance, blood sugar balance, as well as balance in the microbiome and nutrient diversity when we include plenty if dietary fiber in our daily diets.For more on these things and SO much more, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd.For more info on becoming a client, start here. Thank you so much for being here!-Dr. Stacy

#039 Dopamine, Pain & Pleasure Balance, Current Thoughts on HRT for Premenopausal Women

In this episode, we unpack dopamine (not in regard to gut health) but how it swings and weighs down our pain/pleasure balance in the brain. How these mechanisms overcompensate and try and maintain a state of equilibrium - meaning the more "dopamine heavy" our lives are, for one, the more of that stimulus we need to avoid pain or feeling, but also increasing our susceptibility to physical pain.We talk about adaptation and how fleeting a dopamine hit truly is and how it impacts our sustainable happiness in our lives. We talk about how we are evolved to avoid pain in our lives and this makes the appeal of unnatural dopamine hits that much more attractive. However, if we learn to face our fear and our pain, use it as our guide and teacher, we can learn what these negative emotions are telling us and trying to encourage us to grow.Then, we shift gears and chat about HRT in premenopausal women - sharing true client stories, my own journey, and the suitability in relying on HRT to "mute" our hormonal symptoms and learning WHY hormones go low in the first place, that is where we need to turn to "balancing hormones". Hormones can absolutely be balanced naturally, but it requires CHANGE. It requires doing things differently in the way we synchronize with our hormones, our eating patterns, the way we fuel our bodies, and connect to our natural sleep cycles. All of these and more are how we start supporting hormones and get the body to a place of balance so that our hormones can regulate as they are designed to.

#037 What it takes to get the body into "fat burn", Why you may be struggling to detox the liver, and How to support your body's drainage pathways

In this episode, we explore what actually happens when we get into fat burn, what is required, where it goes, and what one's ability to get into this state is determined by.I also talked about my upcoming Heal Your Metabolism Group starting in March, here is the form to be notified when registration opens.I speak about using a CGM  (code DRSTACY) and the Lumen  (code: DRSTACY) to measure these things, along with looking at hormones through a DUTCH if needed. I also speak about all too often, how insulin/blood sugar issues are masked as "liver" issues and how it is impossible to detoxify the liver if it is full of stored sugar/insulin.We talk about ways to support the liver through food and lifestyle and then leeway into drainage pathways over all. I talk about my favorite ways to support systemic drainage, clean water, sauna (code DRSTACY),  Therasage (code DRSTACY) and using food and lifestyle as well! I talk about how to incorporate driang and detox support into your daily habits and lifestyle as well as WHAT they are supporting as WHY (two important pieces that will make you stick with something and KNOW that it is working as you do!)

#036 How to Tell a Different "Story" When You Are Healing & Insomnia From A Lifestyle Medicine Perspective

In this episode, we unpack how we have to create a new "program" or "story" when we are healing. We know our current lifestyle and where that trajectory has gotten us, but how do we break that? How do we undo past conditioning, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs?We talk about a possible addiction to a life we don't even life and I talk more about this on stress hormones and addiction to them in this previous episode. I also have chatted in the past about neuroplasticity and times in the day where we are most open to change in our subconscious here. We also talk about how to take a step back, how to notice, and how to start setting boundaries, habits, thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that are in alignment with our future and not our past. We talk about our influences, how to assess if these things are helping or harming us? Next, we talk about looking at insomnia on a "lifestyle medicine" perspective.It is SO much more than just taking a supplement. It involves assessing the lifestyle, connecting with the sun and the body's natural circadian rhythm, things that block melatonin, so many ways that we can assess and address the lifestyle so that we can find balance, get to a restful state of sleep on a regular basis.I also talk about testing that can come in handy, specifically a DUTCH and OAT to look at what may be happening with the hormones and the gut. Those can be requested here. I also talk about red light therapy for some and PEMF mats. This is my favorite brand for these: https://www.therasage.com/?rfsn=6701944.26322f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6701944.26322fCODE: DRSTACYFor more on these things and SO MUCH MORE, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd

#035 Rethinking "Thyroid" Conditions, Coffee - Is it Helping or Harming, and Setting Intentions for 2024

In the episode, I speak more on the topic of thyroid health, how it is a symptom of a larger imbalance in the body, and how the hierarchy of hormones needs to be considered when it comes to "healing" the thyroid. We also talk about how important gut and liver play a role as most of our thyroid is actually converted in these two areas! We also chat about the things that blow thyroid receptors including heavy metals, halogens, and even insulin. We can test minerals, metals, and toxins through functional labs and those can be requested here. I also talk about the importance of knowing what blood sugar, insulin and cortisol are doing in regard to thyroid, and I always encourage testing your individual response to know for sure with a CGM, like Nutrisense! CODE: DRSTACYND25Next, I talk about coffee, while there can be many therapeutic benefits from any polyphenol contains foods, we all have different responses to caffeine and coffee, so I speak on some of the signs to look for is it is not working for you, testing your own blood sugar response, of course, and emphasizing QUALITY as well if it is something you continue in your day to day!Lastly, I talk about the power of intention setting when it comes to the new year and really anytime! When it is a heart led or intuition led decision or idea, it is going to stick that much more, we are OUT with the resolutions that are based off of fear, guilt, and shame. We work better in a place of love and empathy for where we are while working on the higher version of ourselves we are working towards!Thank you so much for the support, for more on all of these, head to my IG @dr.stacy.nd and stay tuned for more topics and questions I take from my social!With Gratitude, Dr. Stacy

#022 Oxalates, Migraines, and Gluten Cross Reacting Foods

In this episode, I discuss oxalates (either inborn or external sources).Oxalic acid can be found on and OAT test here, or you can request one with my interpretation here. I talk about what foods are the top offenders for oxalates, how to start removing them properly, how they are connected to ASD, and inborn errors that can contribute to their formation.We also discuss root causes of Migraines.I, of course, also like to look at gut and toxin load as these are the top offenders, supporting the liver and drainage, and avoiding inflammatory foods. Also, thinking about exposures in your home, VOCs, mold and air filtration. This is my favorite air filter I use daily. I also talk about mitochondrial support. This is "the one" from quicksilver that I enjoy. Liver support is also highly encouraged. This is what I generally start with for liver support as well as castor oil packs. Lastly, we talk about gluten cross reactors, or foods that the body "tags" as gluten. If you want to see what your reactivity is to gluten and non gluten containing foods, you can run a wheat zoomer.

#021 Methylation, MTHFR, and the Folic Acid Connection with Chronic Conditions

In today's episode, we chat about methylation, why it is imperative to support, how to test if you have any SNPs, (you can find that testing here.) It is important to look at toxin load, I use a Total Tox test for this. It is also super important to look at inflammation and possible gut imbalances if a nutrient imbalances. I use an OAT test for that. I also discuss Folic Acid and how it interrupts your methylation. It is imperative to support with a methylated folate, something that is bioavailable to the human body and that doesn't block important receptors (especially if you or someone you know has SNPs or symptoms of methylation errors.) Follow me for more info on IG @dr.stacy.nd for more on these issues and the labs I run on my clients!

#016 WEIGHT LOSS (What really needs to be considered), Re-framing New Years Goals, and Daily, Weekly, Monthly Detox Habits to Start Incorporating

In the episode, I start out with daily detox habits that we can start incorporating daily (any it really is necessary in the toxic world that we live in) For water, I use a Berkey Filter, for air- an Airdoctor , and always buying organic (and always avoiding the dirty dozen).I think everyone can start incorporating a castor oil pack daily, infrared sauna as much as you can recover from (code: DRSTACY for 10% OFF), and oil pulling with ozonated oil. I also use the somavedic for a home harmonizer (for Wifi and EMF exposure) (Code vibewellness20 for 20% off).I highly reccomend running your home and beauty products through the EWG database to look for possible carcinogens/endocrine disruptors. I also reccomend looking at your toxin load through a total tox test to see what exposures you are accumulating and what is causing dysfunction in your body if you are suffering from any chronic symptoms. When it comes to weight loss- I talk about so many factors that contribute- everything from mitochondria, to heavy metals, to endocrine disruptors, etc. All of that testing can be found here.I also talk about the importance of having high quality complete amino acid profile and getting ENOUGH protein. This is my FAV complete amino acid support.
