Dr. Sara Naseri joins me on this episode to talk about the exciting, at home, affordable, easy to use, hemoglobin A1C testing her company QVin has developed that utilizes menstrual blood. Throughout this episode I just kept saying: why weren’t we always doing this??!! But the wait is over as QVin can send an FDA approved, CLIA certified and easy to collect test right to your door. H1C is a test we all need and may get pushback from our providers or our insurance about routinely checking it so it’s win, win, win, win and has some exciting prospects for future testing on other hormones and possibly even screening for conditions like endometriosis.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Castor oil packs have been around for a very long time but historically have been a bit messy and cumbersome, but Dr Marisol flipped that idea on its head with her Queen of the Thrones brand organic, easy to use castor oil packs. Did she make castor oil cool and sexy? Somehow, yes! Many of you know this brand as I’ve recommended it for years but finally I got Dr. Marisol on the show to talk about castor from energetics to practical use.
And Queen of the Thrones has some great holiday and Black Friday sales going on so check them out with this link!

Should ovarian health be considered a marker of longevity? Yes. Our ovarian production of adequate hormones impacts us on a daily basis including effects on cognition, energy, mood, sleep and metabolism. When our production of these hormones are low we can deal with cyclical symptoms and PMS, infertility and a more difficult struggle into perimenopause and beyond. In this episode I talk about the biggest impacts I see in my practice on our ovarian health and what we can do to improve our sex hormone output and balance whether you want to feel better, get pregnant or just optimize your health overall.

Dr. Zach is back to talk about something very cool: ZBiotics new probiotic product that turns sugar (sucrose) from your diet into fiber. Sounds like magic, right? Almost. This probiotic strain normally found in our gut and on our food has been engineered to produce an enzyme called levansucrase which will produce a unique fiber rarely found in our daily diets. All of this lends to better microbiome diversity and gut health. We cover how Sugar to Fiber works and how easy it is to add to your busy day on this episode.

In this Q&A episode I cover all manner of aspects of this soothing, helpful hormone. Progesterone can start to dip as early as our 30s creating more problems with mood, sleep and periods as the years go on, but even in our 20s we can experience low progesterone due to PCOS, stress and other reasons as well. I talk about how to naturally raise progesterone as well as how to know when to use herbs or HRT to support your progesterone levels.
I reference in this show a past progesterone Q&A from 2023, here is that show as this episode covers other aspects of progesterone as well:

Is it the baby blues? Exhaustion? Expected overwhelm with a new baby? Or is it something more worrisome? In this episode I talk about the hormonal changes postpartum that can lead to anxiety, depression and sadness and what to look out for, when to get help and simple suggestions for nutrition, exercise and supplements that can help. I also cover a lesser talked about mood issue for breastfeeding moms known as Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex. I also talk about how to be a good support person for a new mom beyond offering to hold the baby - but who doesn't want to hold a new baby?! I hope this show is helpful for partners, friends and family as well as new moms to please share!
I talk a bit about my experience with DMER this in this article as well: Three Horrible Things About Breastfeeding.

A daily multi to cover your nutritional bases seems like a good idea right? Our soil is depleted, our life is depleting and many of us are dealing with some sort of chronic issue, making extra support something to think about. On the flipside, many are dealing with supplement fatigue and it’s worth talking about if a multi is worth it at this stage in your health and healing. As well, some women’s multis are severely lacking in what women need yet others are full of things you do not need. In this episode I talk about what to look for in a multi that that suits your hormones and health goals.
In this show I talk about my women’s multi that includes optimal doses of what women need for blood sugar balance, better energy, brain health, optimal aging and hormone balance. I put my balanced+beautiful multi on sale this weekend only with code BEAUTIFUL15 at checkout.

If you’ve ever googled a troublesome symptom, then I’m sure you’re getting fed ads for a supplement to fix it. I see it every day posted on social media as people crowd source for solutions or I’m asked on a call with a patient: should I take X for my Y? They’ve heard it’s good for hair loss, weight loss, hot flashes, brain health, energy, etc. so they are wondering if it will work for them, makes sense right?
In this episode I talk about why we need to know why. We need to know WHY our hair is falling out or we are tired in order to choose supplements, protocols and procedures that might help. Most of the time, if a supplement isn’t effective it’s also likely harmless but it can be a waste of time and money to be taking things that don’t address your why. Other times a particular supplement is the absolute wrong thing for your why, yet you have no idea. Still other times you have a clear why for your symptoms based on testing or working with a provider but in the sea of products you’re unsure which one is best for you. I cover the most common supplement questions about hormones, thyroid, hair loss, energy, etc. that I see online or hear in my office on this episode to help you sift through the noise out there.

Collagen is not a new supplement but there are new collagen products on the market daily and most every woman I talk to is taking collagen or feels she should be. It’s generally a scoop added to their morning coffee or post-workout shake in hopes of better joints, healthier hair and glowing skin. Most women aren’t aware however that joints need different collagen support than our hair so it’s important we know why we want to take collagen and then to be sure our supplement is doing just that. In this episode I talk about the difference between collagen and collagen peptides, what type of collagen is needed for hair vs. joints and how you can dose your collagen to get the results you’re after.
Products I mentioned in the episode are:
KION Essential Amino Acid Complex for workout recovery GetKion.com/BETTTEREVERYDAY 15% offNEEDED Collagen Peptides for types I and III collagen support save 20% with code BETTEREVERYDAY at checkout www.thisisneeded.com.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Qualia NAD+ is formulated to target the entire process our cells undergo to make, use and then recycle NAD+ for optimal results that you can see and feel. With so many NAD boosting products out there, what sets Qualia NAD+ apart is that it uses three different precursors to support the various ways our cells make NAD+ and its very holistic formula supports this production pathway from start to finish with enzyme cofactors as well as raw materials.

You’re seeing ads pop all over your phone and social media feeds for “natural ozempic”. Supplements that are said to work just like GLP-1 agonist medications, but is this true? In this episode I cover the most commonly marketed products to boost GLP-1: berberine, akkermansia and other GLP-1 probiotic blends and sodium-butyrate. I cover how these compounds work, how they impact GLP-1 and if the data holds up on these claims that they are the same as medications like Ozempic.
In this show I reference a couple of past episode of the Dr Brooke Show:
Dr Brooke Show #373 Akkermansia: Hope or HypeDr Brooke Show #341 All About GLP-1 Meds
As well, here are the products mentioned as well that I use in my practice:
Butyrate product: Tri Butyrin Supreme
GLP-1 Probiotic Blend

What test is the most accurate assessment of your blood sugar, insulin resistance or glucose variability? I cover the lab testing that you would get from your doctor: fasting glucose and Hemoglobin A1C as the most common ones, as well as Fructosamine and Glycomark. As well testing you might not be getting that you could easily request such as fasting insulin or C-Peptide. And there is testing you likely have like LDH that you didn’t know was related to blood sugar levels. Lastly, how does at home monitoring play in for you in terms of using a glucometer or a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).
Which test is best? I cover what these tests tell you, why it’s key to know what you’re looking for, what might be covered by insurance and where you fall on the blood sugar problem spectrum: looking for optimal health and prevention vs. prediabetic or overt insulin resistance.
And the newer question we need to be asking: is it just high blood sugar we need to worry about or is glucose variability where it’s at?
