  Aug 20, 202646 min

  What if your go-to sleep aid was keeping you from deep, restorative sleep? People come into the pharmacy every day looking for over-the-counter sleep aids or sleep supplements, so I reached out to neurologist and sleep expert Dr Stasha Gominak. She has a very different view on what's disrupting our sleep, and practical steps we can take to transform our sleep.

  Menopause, Mitochondria, and Why Your Energy Has Gone Down w/ Jennifer Scheinman

  Aug 13, 202643 min

  Why do mitochondria come up so often in conversations about energy and longevity, but rarely when women are trying to understand what is happening to their bodies in menopause? Most people have heard mitochondria described as the "powerhouse of the cell." But they also play a role in muscle function, recovery, cellular communication, and hormone production. As we age, damaged mitochondria can build up while the body becomes less efficient at clearing them away. Could some of the fatigue, brain fog, reduced strength, and poor recovery women are told to accept as part of menopause or aging also be connected to declining mitochondrial health? Perimenopause dietitian-nutritionist, Jen Scheinman, explains why mitochondria deserve a bigger place in the menopause conversation. We explore the connection between estrogen and mitochondrial function, how mitophagy helps remove damaged mitochondria, and how urolithin A may support that process. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why mitochondria are often overlooked in menopause conversations What mitochondria do beyond producing energy How mitochondrial decline may contribute to fatigue and poor recovery The connection between estrogen and mitochondrial function What mitophagy is and why it slows with age How urolithin A supports mitochondrial cleanup How urolithin A differs from CoQ10 and NAD boosters What the research suggests about strength, endurance, and recovery Why mitochondrial support cannot replace sleep, exercise, and nutrition PS.

  Natural Thyroid May Be Changing: Is Your Treatment Actually Optimized? w/ Nat Jones

  Jul 30, 202630 min

  What happens if the thyroid medication that finally helped you feel like yourself becomes harder to access? Natural desiccated thyroid has been used for decades, and many women prefer it because it provides both T4 and active T3. Proposed FDA changes have raised questions about its future, but they also bring a much bigger issue into focus. Why do so many women still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, cold intolerance, and low energy even when they are taking thyroid medication and their lab results are considered "normal"? Pharmacist and compounding expert Nat Jones explains what more complete thyroid care can look like for women in perimenopause and menopause. We explore why T4 alone may not be enough for every woman, how stress and cortisol can interfere with thyroid function, and how compounded T4/T3 therapy can offer a more individualized approach. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why some patients prefer natural desiccated thyroid to levothyroxine T4 vs. T3: why having both can make a meaningful difference What your options are if desiccated thyroid becomes harder to access Why women still feel hypothyroid when their TSH is "normal" How compounded T4 and T3 can be customized to the individual patient Why standard thyroid ratios do not work equally well for everyone The overlooked role of cortisol and chronic stress in thyroid treatment The additional thyroid markers that may reveal what TSH misses How ferritin and nutrient deficiencies can affect thyroid function Why Hashimoto's requires more than simply replacing thyroid hormone PS.

  Menopause Skin Care: Collagen Loss, Copper Peptides, and What Actually Helps w/ Nat Jones

  Jul 23, 202636 min

  What if all the work you're doing to feel younger and healthier on the inside isn't being reflected in your skin? As women age, collagen loss can accelerate, leaving the skin thinner, less resilient, and more prone to fine lines, wrinkles, and a crepey texture. But there are ways to support the collagen you still have and help your skin better reflect how good you feel. Pharmacist Nat Jones joins us to explain what happens to women's skin as they age and what we can do about it. We explore the role of hormones, inflammation, gut health, and collagen loss, as well as emerging ingredients such as GHK copper peptide, estriol, exosomes, and methylene blue. His message? Supporting aging skin is not just about choosing the right ingredient. It's about understanding how the skin changes and making sure the products you use are actually formulated to work. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why your skin may not reflect how healthy you feel inside Why preserving collagen is easier than trying to rebuild it The connection between hormones, inflammation, gut health, and aging skin GHK copper peptide: how it supports collagen and skin renewal Why more copper peptide does not always mean better results The formulation mistakes that can make skincare products ineffective Why vitamin C and copper peptide should not be used together How estriol may support thinner, aging skin What exosomes add to anti-aging skincare The surprising potential of methylene blue for sun-damaged skin How long it takes to see visible changes in fine lines and skin texture About the Guest Nat Jones is a pharmacist and internationally recognized expert in pharmaceutical compounding.

  Lexi Yoo on Perimenopause, Peptides, and Hormone Strategies That Actually Work

  Jul 16, 202647 min

  Perimenopause, testosterone, estrogen patches, pellets, and peptides are finally getting the attention they should have had years ago. More women are asking better questions. More providers are taking symptoms seriously. And more patients are realizing that brain fog, poor sleep, weight gain, anxiety, joint pain, skin changes, and muscle loss are not things they simply have to tolerate. But this hormone renaissance isn't always a good thing. When every social media post is talking about hormones like they are magic, some very important points and questions get missed. Are we using hormones, peptides, GLP-1s, or regenerative therapies in the right order, for the right patient, with the right testing, the right monitoring, and the right clinical judgment? In this episode, I'm joined by women's health, hormone and peptide expert Lexi Yoo. We talk about what women and practitioners are still getting wrong about hormone therapy, how to think about estrogen delivery when patches are hard to find, and why peptides should sit on top of the foundations rather than replace them. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why women don't have to wait until they are fully menopausal to start talking about hormone therapy The hormone myth Lexi wishes would disappear, especially around testosterone and women's brain health How perimenopause can change cycles, sleep, mood, metabolism, stress tolerance, and body composition Why symptoms matter, but testing still plays a critical role in responsible hormone care Why hormone therapy isn't automatically off-limits for women with a family history of breast cancer Why estrogen patches are becoming harder to find, and what other options may be worth discussing with a knowledgeable provider How pellets can be helpful for some women, and why poor monitoring creates so many bad experiences How hormone metabolites can reveal whether the body is processing estrogen in a favorable or unfavorable way Why gut health, detox pathways, methylation, bowel regularity, and inflammation can all affect hormone outcomes How peptides like BPC-157, tesamorelin, thymosin beta-4, and GHK-Cu may be used in gut health, recovery, body composition, skin, and hair conversations Why peptide sourcing, provider education, pharmacy quality, consent, and follow-up matter so much How the peptide conversation has been distorted by black-market products, online misinformation, and regulatory confusion Why GLP-1s can be a net positive when used correctly, but risky when prescribed without body composition monitoring Why muscle preservation has to be part of every serious weight loss conversation What women entering their 40s, 50s, and beyond should understand about hormones, strength training, skin, collagen, recovery, and long-term health PS.

About the Guest Lexi Yoo is a double board-certified nurse practitioner, functional medicine–certified clinician, women's health expert, and longevity medicine educator. She is the CEO of Yoo Direct Health, where she helps patients get to the root of complex hormone, metabolic, and wellness concerns through a more comprehensive, functional medicine approach. Her work is especially focused on the women who have been dismissed, rushed, or told to "come back when it gets worse" despite struggling with symptoms like brain fog, poor sleep, weight changes, anxiety, low libido, fatigue, skin changes, and the physical shifts of perimenopause and menopause. In addition to seeing patients clinically, Lexi trains and mentors other providers through her academy, helping clinicians better understand hormone therapy, peptides, GLP-1s, body composition, aesthetics, and longevity medicine. Her work lives at the intersection of clinical care and education, with a focus on helping both patients and providers approach women's health with more precision, curiosity, and clinical judgment.
