Kayla Osterhoff MPH, PhD: Embrace Your Female Power | Master the Biorhythm, Biohack the Menstrual Cycle, and Elevate Women's Empowerment
01/24/22 • 48 min
Welcome to another episode of Know Your Physio! Joining us in conversation today is Kayla Osterhoff, who teaches us that it's never too late or too early for women to learn about their biorhythm, and live a healthier, more empowered life because of it. Tune in to hear about Kayla's academic and professional background and the personal experiences that motivated her to focus on women's health. She describes the female biorhythm as the pace that the female body is set to, and tells us why, even as a health scientist, she didn't know how to be healthy; all the research was based on male biology! Kayla tells us why she has chosen to work independently with private partners, rather than pursuing a career with the government, and tells us the difference between the female hormonal cycle and the female biorhythm, before teaching us about the four phases of the biorhythm cycle, all with one shared key: to go with the flow of your body. She considers the female biorhythm to be a huge biohack that sets women apart for success and gives listeners some interesting tips on how to optimize each cycle and see results. We touch on the benefits and dangers of a ketogenic diet and talk about the technology Kayla has patented in the past year to go live in 2022. Kayla also tells us why biohacking is so much more important for women than it is for men. Thanks for listening! We hope you gained insight into your physiology today.

Dr. Peter McCullough: Navigating the COVID Conundrum | Demystifying Research, Early Home Treatment, Reinfection, and Beyond
Today’s guest on the Know Your Physio Podcast is Dr. Peter McCullough, the renowned cardiologist and epidemiologist whose confrontation of the US government’s COVID-19 policies drew more than 40 million views on Joe Rogan‘s podcast.
Dr. McCullough is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and clinical lipidology. He’s one of the most published medical researchers of all time, with over 1000 publications and 600 citations, 30+ on COVID treatment alone.
He cares for advanced patients with common medical problems, including heart and kidney disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes, and he is considered a leader in the C19 disaster.
What makes today’s conversation unique is that we had a chance to unravel some of the backlash and counterarguments he received as a result of those viral interviews from other leading health experts who hold opposing views, including why the term “misinformation” is so closely tied to his name.
THIS IS A HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC, all my guests on the show have their opinion, and hosting them doesn’t mean I necessarily agree or disagree with everything they say or share.
Tune in today to hear more from Dr. McCullough in an episode that we’re calling ‘COVID Research Unravelled.'
Key Points From This Episode:
- Addressing the COVID-19 misinformation flags that accompany Peter’s name online.
- His experience of the fame and controversy that followed his interview with Joe Rogan.
- How Peter divides his time between patient care and research.
- The discrepancy between his public criticism of the CDC and the CDC research he cites.
- What he and other scientists discovered about the best early treatment for COVID.
- More on his home treatment protocols and how they may reduce hospitalization and death.
- How to receive vitamin D from the sun and why Peter recommends magnesium.
- Learn more about monoclonal antibody infusion treatment, which comes from mice.
- Peter dispels misinformation about home treatments, which he says is caused by the incompetency of our federal agencies.
- Vitamins, fitness, nutrition protocols, and sleep and stress management for COVID-19.
- Why Peter believes that the asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 is a far-fetched theory.
- Peter shares his views on false positives, forced testing, and “unnecessary” quarantines.
- What you need to know about Omicron and what Peter recommends to treat it at home.
