On this week's Q&A 1. Dominique "Hi - I have come round to the fact that I have a food addiction but here’s the thing.... is not junk food - I eat very healthy paleo/carnivore. But it’s the quantity and emotional eating. Do you, or do know anyone who I can go to for help with this. Any website I can turn to? I trust you and your advice so much I would love some direction." 2. Ketograms5 "Should all post menopausal women be on bio identical estrogen and progesterone?" 3. Eldav "Wondering how you feel about bioidentical progesterone in pill form. Is it as safe as cream?" 4. Corine "Hi Karen! Loving your podcasts and all the fascinating info! I was wondering what your advice would be for very heavy periods. I’m 33 and in my 20s I had 5 years of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. I’m now having crazy heavy periods (first day light, then 3 days of nothing then 3 days of the bloody Mississippi!(changing my heavy tampon every hour) then 3-4 days of lighter (10 days total menstruation) so much blood loss is affecting my energy and performance levels. And I’m eating a lot of meat to try to gain some blood volume and iron back but it’s hard! I also get PMS symptoms before or during my period. (Moody, depressed, emotional, sore boobs). I’ve also noticed weight gain in my muffin tops and stomach.... I don’t want to have to go on an IUD. Is there any other options. EstroSmart seemed to help with PMS a bit but the last podcast with Dr. Saladino scared me because a lot of the ingredients in there, he advised are toxic."  5. Kylee  "Hey Karen, I just came across your podcast and I’m loving it. I’m 27 and just had my last (3rd) baby. I’ve been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis and IBS, I also have a lactose intolerance. All of these things work against me and eating raw veggies, meat really hurts my stomach, so weight loss is a real struggle because every healthy lifestyle revolves around a clean diet which I absolutely love veggies and fresh fruit but it makes me super sick. Is this something that others have issues with when their hormones are off? Or is it just a medical issue that I need to take medication for. (I’ve tried many medications and many diet restrictive diets) yet I feel really crummy. And it’s worsened with each new baby. So my question is; Can medically diagnosed health conditions be treated with hormone therapy?" 6. Lacey  "I am a 33 y.o. and have been happily doing a meat heavy diet. I have been breastfeeding a 4 month old.  my question is: is it pretty normal to have interrupted sleep (difficulty falling back asleep while breastfeeding)? I try to go to bed as early as I can after dark but have been lying awake and unable to sleep from early am hours (sometimes 2-3 am until dawn) while listening to my husband and baby sleep in the bedroom around me. This sleeplessness isn't every night. Increasing carbs has helped with my sleep and perceived stress levels...more rice, cooked fruit, cooked root vegetables."

Q&A with Karen 1. Can low Iron cause secondary thyroid issues? 2. If you do resistance training 2 weeks of the month and something lighter the other 2, will you loose the gains every 2 weeks?  3. Hi I recently found your website via your interview with Dr Paul Saladino and I am fascinated with your approach to balancing hormones. Every month, my 21 year old daughter, on her first day of her period is violently ill with vomiting and/or diarrhea, for about 5-6 hours and then she recovers and everything is back to normal. This has been occurring for about the last two year. She is normal weight, and active. She follows a loose keto diet - whole foods, with limited processed foods and sugar. Her GP simply prescribed anti nausea tablets, which don't help. Do you have any ideas or directions we can take?  4. I have non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism. I'm on NDT. I've also had adrenal issues in the past but haven't tested recently. I started a carnivore diet 2 months ago. I've been horribly weak, light-headed, shaky and even labored breathing at times. I'm 5'3" and ~98-100 lbs. Dr. Saladino recommended I add more carbs immediately so I added olives, avocado, honey the past couple days but still feel very weak and shaky. Currently: I'm eating 1-1.5 lbs of meat, suet, bone broth, 3 egg yolks and a large romaine salad with cucumbers, olives, avocado, EVOO & lemon juice per day. Prior to carnivore I was veggie heavy Paleo with low amount of animal protein. I was weak and light headed then hence the carnivore diet. I started out feeling better the first try but horrible this time though I see improvements to hair growth and less loss (though dry) and other positive changes. Sometimes feels like adrenals are maybe stressed like you talk about. A naturopath monitors my thyroid/adrenals however we have never tested my RT3. Thank you!  4. Hi Karen I love your podcast I have a quick question for you I eat fairly well lower carb paleo type diet with a few cheats here and there but I have noticed in the last few years that I have been getting progressively more constipated. I have always suffered with it but it seems to be getting worse and there are times I won’t go for 4-5 days at a time. Any suggestions?
