Show Summary:"To heal your hunger, you have to feel some hunger because that hunger informs you of what's going on."

Do you feel defeated because of your Yoyo diet?

Do you feel frustrated from preventing yourself from binge eating unhealthy foods, but you still end up feeling guilty after a stressful day?

Have you always been disappointed because of overeating?

Tricia Nelson, the author of Heal Your Hunger book and a transformational speaker, shares her roller coaster experience in being an emotional eater.

She tried many ways like diet, pills, programs, and consulted an eating disorder therapist to find solutions, but unfortunately, nothing worked for her. She would always go back to her yoyo diet, which broke her hope of finding the real problem.

Being focused on food and weight symptoms is not the key because it is just a symptom. What you have to dive into and deal with are the underlying causes, like the emotional factors. Good thing, Tricia overcame this through the help of her spiritual healer by addressing the real cause of her eating disorder.

Her journey has been her inspiration in educating people about food addiction or any health issues where the diet is involved. Listen as she breaks down the common misconceptions about food, emotional, and physical hunger.

What is Tricia’s story?

Tricia 2:21

• I started out as an emotional eater, I think from the get go like as far back as I can, I remember food was a big highlight for me.

How did she figure out the missing piece to her problem?

Tricia 5:1

• I was still young. I tried so many things, I'd actually lost some weight. And I was about to go back up the scale again, because that was my habit.

How did she start to heal her hunger?

Tricia 24:55

• I did a lot of intense work. After a year or so I was in so much of a better place, and I didn't have the cravings anymore. I was in a thin body and I could handle being in a thin body, feeling worthy of being seen or feeling comfortable.

How does one differentiate between emotional hunger and physical hunger

Tricia 37:4

• I've been doing this work for over 30 years now and it amazes me as a motivator, like I'll get off a phone call that's really stressful and I’d be like, “I'm hungry”.
• And I'll think, “What can I eat?” And then I'll have this conversation with myself. And I'd be like, “Wait, you know, you just had breakfast a couple hours ago. Are you really that hungry?”

Show Summary:

“Think back to a time when you felt your healthiest and least likely to develop heart disease or cancer. Chances are, your hormones were at their peak. 80% of health symptoms can be cleared up with optimal hormone levels. Suffering is optional, and prevention is key.”

Navigating the changes that come with aging can be a rollercoaster ride. Our hormones naturally decline, and we're often faced with unexplained weight gain, low libido, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. It can feel like an uphill battle, making it challenging to enjoy the quality of life we deserve.

But here's the truth: you don't have to struggle in silence. These symptoms can easily be resolved by hormone balance and optimization.

In this episode, with Tauscha Johanson, we dive headfirst into the world of hormones and bioidenticals, clearing up common misconceptions and providing you with answers. Learn how your hormones change as you grow older and understand how hormone replacement therapy can help you optimize your hormone health.

By balancing your hormones, you can embrace graceful aging and improve your overall well-being.

Exceptional Highlights:

• There is no scientific evidence that naturally occurring estrogen (17-beta-estradiol) causes breast cancer. It is a bioidentical hormone found in our bodies.
• Testosterone receptors are present in every organ system, making testosterone vital. When testosterone levels decline, it can impact various aspects of our health.
• Menopause is a multi-stage process that includes perimenopause (leading up to the final menstrual period), menopause (the day marking 12 months without a period), and postmenopause (the period of life after menopause).

“Insulin resistance causes PCOS, which leads to irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and sometimes infertility. Treatment should address insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, like progesterone deficiency and thyroid dysfunction, tailored to each person's unique symptoms.”

The world of medicine has long focused on managing diseases and prescribing for symptoms. But what if we could prevent diseases in the first place? That's where hormone health comes in.

Our special guest today is Dr. Terri DeNeui, Founder of Evexias Health Solutions. In this episode, we cover everything you need to know about hormones, bioidenticals, and pellets. We also talk about how to navigate hormonal issues while dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility. Learn why hormones get a bad rap and how Dr. DeNeui is leading the change to dispel this misinformation.

If optimizing your health, understanding hormone balance, and achieving well-being are priorities for you, then tune in to Episode 83 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Hormones like testosterone and estrogen are crucial for both men and women. Testosterone can significantly reduce inflammation and support brain health, particularly for women experiencing symptoms like depression and anxiety.
• The symptoms of low thyroid and low testosterone can often overlap. It is important to recognize that thyroid health also influences mood, and it's important to consider it in depression management.
• For young adults in their twenties, addressing diet, nutrition, and gut health is the initial step in managing hormonal issues before considering hormone replacement therapy.

Show Summary:

“Bioidentical hormones do more than just build muscle; they boost energy and motivation and slow aging. If you want to age gracefully, supporting your hormones, adrenals, and thyroid is essential.”

As we age, our body's natural hormone production declines, causing shifts in energy, mood, libido, or weight that can disrupt our sense of well-being. These subtle changes may indicate a hormonal imbalance.

If you're experiencing these shifts, it may be worth considering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT offers a natural approach to restore hormones to their optimal levels. However, the confusion around choosing the right bioidentical hormones and undergoing the necessary tests to evaluate hormone therapy effectiveness is common.

In this episode, Jared Price, Head Nurse Practitioner at Provohealth, returns to shed light on this often-overlooked topic. We explore the benefits of hormone therapy, delve into various treatment options, and provide guidance to help you identify the most suitable approach.

Stay tuned until the end to gain a deeper understanding of how bioidentical hormones can enhance your overall well-being. Don't miss Episode 75 of the Gutsy Health Podcast and leave a review for a chance to win a free hair analysis!

Exceptional Highlights:

• The interplay of adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones forms a three-legged stool that influences mitochondrial function and contributes to overall well-being.
• Although high testosterone levels might appear beneficial, excessive levels can decrease fertility by disrupting luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, reducing sperm production.
• Betaestradiol-17, a specific bio-identical hormone, has shown promise in reversing cancers and reducing breast masses and tenderness. It is crucial to use this specific form of estradiol for desired effects.
