The Hormone Solution with Karen Martel

Join for this information packed Q&A!  Helen Is there any point having my blood test done when every cycle is different to the last? Symptom wise and sometimes length wise. Lesa I have been keto, carnivore and fasting with extended fast periodically for a year and a half with no weight loss. I am post menopausal and started HRT 6 months ago. I feel all of the thyroid symptoms but can't get anyone to listen. Thyroid labs look good except T3 is below optimal and RT3 is 30.1. I can't get into the endocrinologist for 6 months and fear he won't listen either. I feel in my heart pure T3 would get me on the way to healing and finally get my insulin down to be able to lose the 40 pounds that I gained in 4 months. I also have high ferritin that I read can keep insulin high. Gail Dr. Brownstein mentioned a specific type of iodine supplement to take. I’m currently working with my physician on my iodine levels and was wondering what the supplement was called/ what it included. If I remember correctly, he said you needed iodine and iodide in it? Emma I am 50 years old and for the most part feel pretty good despite the fact that I am in perimenopause. I am struggling with perimenopause weight gain, (gained 30 pounds since October) sleep. I am finally getting my hair to grow back in the front and my dry skin is getting better, my nails are healthy again. I eat as clean as possible. At this time, I can’t afford to go see a functional doctor. So, I have been thinking of buying over the counter estrogen and progesterone bioidentical products. What would you recommend? Thank you for all the information you share with us! Sara Can a woman safely take a compounded bioidentical progesterone PILL? Is there a big difference between it vs cream? Wondering how you feel about bioidentical progesterone in pill form. Is it as safe as cream Gina Thanks – I always find your podcasts very interesting and there was a single “nugget” which I would like to know more about….. I would like to know more about how a vision test can determine toxicity levels? Lesa Are there optimal numbers we should strive to hit for estrogen, testosterone and progesterone when taking HRT or a ratio between them so we know if they need adjusted to feel our best? Milly Hi Karen. Thank you for taking questions for your Saturday podcast. I’m a 46 y.o. who’s really bothered by the uncertainty of when my period is coming. It seems I’m into my Perimenopause stage and my cycle could be 19 days one month and others 29, I recently had a record of 41 days! Is there anything we can do other than bio identical hormones to help having more predictable/regular cycles? Thanks!  Do you have a question for the next Q&A? Fill out this form.

Annie Hopper has a global mission. To take the “mystery” out of “mysterious illness”. Hopper explains how brain trauma can be at the very root of chronic illness and disease. Moreover, Hopper empowers people with the tools that they need to rewire their brain, transform their health and reclaim their lives. Hopper is in the business of what others would call “medical miracles.” Hopper knows what its like to suffer from a mysterious illness that the medical system cannot diagnosis or effectively treat. In 2004, while working as a busy counselor, newspaper columnist and talk show guest as an expert in Emotional Wellness, her health started to rapidly deteriorate. Mysterious symptoms like unexplainable insomnia, headaches, body aches and pains, chronic exhaustion and an increasing list of sensitivities ensued. Toxic overload was the eventual diagnosis. But even after undergoing detoxification treatments and an extensive list of healing treatments from over thirty different practitioners, her symptoms continued to escalate. This was the beginning of what can only be described as a type of science fiction nightmare. After almost 4 years of suffering that eventually led to homelessness, Hopper deduced that a toxic brain trauma was most likely at the root of her suffering. Hopper went on to creatively rewire the neural circuits in her brain that had been altered due to toxic trauma and the symptoms of illness eventually dissipated. In 2008, Hopper founded The Dynamic Neural Retraining System, a drug free, neuroplasticity-based healing approach to rewire chronic illness disease patterns in the brain as seen in Chemical Sensitivities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses. Annie Hopper has lectured throughout North America and abroad, educating both patients and doctors alike about the connection between environmental toxins, brain trauma and physical health.  https://retrainingthebrain.com/ Todays show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
