Is “adrenal fatigue” really about your adrenals… or is something deeper driving the crash? In this episode, I sit down with Morley Robbins to unpack the real root of low energy, burnout, stubborn body fat, and hormone dysfunction - and why minerals like copper and iron may be the missing piece.
We go beyond surface-level advice and explore how metabolism, inflammation, thyroid health, and even your immune system are all connected through mineral balance.
If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, weight loss resistance, or confusing lab results… this conversation will challenge what you think you know.
⏱️ What we cover:
• Why “adrenal fatigue” may actually be a metabolic + mineral issue
• The connection between copper, iron, and inflammation
• How excess iron can drive oxidative stress and fatigue
• Why copper is essential for ATP (energy) production
• The “body fat switch” and what’s really blocking fat loss
• Thyroid function and its relationship to mineral status
• Hair mineral testing patterns (high magnesium, low sodium) and what they may suggest
• Why hepcidin could be a more useful marker for iron regulation
• The overlooked role of the spleen in immune function + pathogen control
• Parasite cleanses - when they help and when they don’t
• Organic vs conventional foods and mineral density
• Case study: genetics, zinc/copper balance, and thyroid dysfunction
This is a deep dive ... but if you’re ready to understand your body on a whole new level, you’re going to love it.
Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC, aka “Magnesium Man”, is one of the foremost experts on magnesium's role in the body, as well as the delicate dance between Iron and Copper. He is a voice to listen to closely when considering Iron and always ready to answer questions from his followers.

In this conversation, I sit down with Adele Wimsett to explore a growing and often misunderstood topic: ADHD symptoms in perimenopause, and whether they may actually be rooted in hormonal imbalances rather than a true neurodevelopmental condition.
We dive into Adele’s research, “The Perfect Storm,” which examines how hormonal fluctuations in naturally menstruating perimenopausal women may influence ADHD-like traits.
Together, we discuss:
- Why ADHD symptoms and low progesterone/high adrenaline can look nearly identical
- The role of the central nervous system in focus, overwhelm, and emotional regulation
- How declining progesterone may contribute to anxiety, restlessness, poor sleep, and brain fog
- Why many women feel unheard, dismissed, or misdiagnosed
- The growing confusion around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and mainstream messaging on estrogen (which annoys us both!)
- Why testing can sometimes add more overwhelm than clarity
- The importance of returning to foundations: nutrition, blood sugar balance, sleep, and circadian rhythm
We also walk through a more grounded approach:
- Start with lifestyle and nervous system support
- Assess and support hormonal balance (including progesterone)
- Then explore ADHD diagnosis and medication if symptoms persist

This episode is for women navigating perimenopause who feel overwhelmed, misdiagnosed, or unsure which direction to take with their health.

Adele is a Women’s Health Practitioner specializing in the under-supported intersection of ADHD, perimenopause, and the female nervous system. Find our more about Adele and her wonderful work here;

What if your hormone imbalance, low energy, or emotional disconnection isn’t just hormones… but toxic overload? In this episode, I sit down with Kyle Hulbert, CEO of the Longevity Center and host of Longevity Unlocked, to explore the powerful connection between detoxification, hormones, and mental health in both men and women.
We go beyond the typical “detox phases” conversation and break down the real-life signs of toxic overload - including low testosterone in men, estrogen imbalances in women, chronic infections, low motivation, and emotional numbness.
We also explore how poor detoxification may impact hormone balance, emotional awareness, and overall resilience.
In this episode, we cover:
Signs of toxic overload in men and women
The connection between detoxification and hormone imbalance
Low testosterone, estrogen imbalance, and emotional health
Why some people feel emotionally numb, avoidant, or disconnected
Chronic bacterial, fungal, and yeast issues (like athlete’s foot) as deeper signals
The role of binders in detox (activated charcoal, bentonite, zeolite)
Chelation therapy, Herxheimer reactions, and detox symptoms
Parasite cleanses: when to consider them
Detoxification in children - what to know
EMFs and modern toxic exposure
What NOT to do when trying to detox
If you’ve been struggling with hormone imbalances, low energy, brain fog, or feeling “off,” this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of how detoxification pathways impact your health.

Kyle Hulbert is the CEO of the Longevity Center, the co-host of Longevity Unlocked, and a wellness and integrative nutrition coach specializing in detoxification. Kyle was struggling with alcoholism, anxiety, and depression while living a dream life in Dubai and finishing his master’s in 2019. When he discovered that the root cause was heavy metals and low testosterone levels, he went down the rabbit hole of detox, integrative health, and biohacking, eventually earning his coaching certifications.

If estrogen is protective… why shouldn’t it be taken alone?
In this honest and thought-provoking conversation with David Rosensweet, we explore one of the most confusing topics in women’s health: estrogen, progesterone, and cancer risk.
You’ll hear perspectives that may challenge what you’ve been told - including the idea that estrogen can be protective, while at the same time being unsafe when used on its own.
So which is it?

In this episode, we discuss:
Why estrogen is often considered protective for the brain, bones, and overall health
Why it’s still commonly recommended to pair estrogen with progesterone
The role of estradiol as a more proliferative form of estrogen
Why estriol is often considered more protective, and why it makes up 80% of Bi-Est
How this perspective are Estriol and Progesterone is also supported by Michael Platt
The controversy around the Women's Health Initiative and how it shaped public perception
A different perspective on hormone testing, including limitations of the DUTCH test
The importance of testosterone for muscle mass, metabolism, and aging (including sarcopenia)
How lifestyle, metabolic health, and environment play a major role in cancer risk
This is not a black-and-white conversation. You’ll hear areas where we agree - and areas where we don’t.
My goal with this episode is not to tell you what to think, but to help you better understand the nuance so you can make informed decisions about your health.
As always, context matters. Hormones are powerful, and their effects depend on the individual, the dose, and the bigger metabolic picture. Plus my previous conversations can give you more insight if you want to learn more.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments - this is a conversation worth having.

Dr. Rosensweet graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1968. He has been in private medical practice since 1971, and has had offices in New Mexico, California, and Colorado and is currently in practice in Southwest Florida. Dr. Rosensweet was the clinical physician involved in the very first Nurse Practitioner training program in the U.S.A. and in charge of health promotion for the State of New Mexico. He teaches health professionals about the treatment of women in menopause with bio-identical hormones. Find out more about Dr Rosensweet here;

Most women take DIM to “detox estrogen”… but that’s not actually what it does. And for some, it may even make symptoms worse.
You’ve probably heard that DIM helps detox estrogen… but is that really true?
In this episode, I sit down with Kitty Martone to break down what DIM actually does in the body, how it influences estrogen metabolism, and why it’s not always the right solution for every woman.
We discuss how DIM works primarily in Phase 1 liver detoxification, helping shift estrogen down the 2-OH pathway instead of the more proliferative 16-OH pathway. But that’s only one piece of the puzzle.
Because true hormone balance isn’t just about liver detox…
If your gut (Phase 3 detox) isn’t working properly and you’re not eliminating regularly, you may be recirculating estrogen — and adding DIM into the mix can sometimes make symptoms worse.
In this conversation, we also explore:
What DIM is and where it comes from
Estrogen metabolism and the 2-OH vs 16-OH pathways
Why “estrogen detox” is often misunderstood
The role of liver detoxification (Phase 1 & Phase 2)
Why gut health is essential for hormone balance
When DIM may not be the right choice
Alternative strategies for supporting estrogen balance
Lifestyle factors that impact hormones
The connection between emotional health and hormone balance

If you’re struggling with hormone imbalance, estrogen dominance, or considering taking DIM, this episode will help you make more informed decisions about your health.
