  • BONUS: Rethinking Diabetes: Treatment and Management in the Modern Era with Gary Taubes
    I am thrilled to have Gary Taubes back on the show today. (He was with me before on episode 137. Gary is an investigative science and health journalist whose work has been pivotal in catalyzing the low-carb keto movement. He has written many books, including his most recent, Rethinking Diabetes, and his articles are in many of the best anthologies. He has also received many science awards. Today's discussion is particularly significant, given the recent report from the American Diabetes Association revealing that the annual cost of diabetes in the United States reached a staggering $412.9 billion in 2022, with individuals diagnosed with diabetes now representing one in every four dollars spent on healthcare.  In our discussion today, we dive into the history of diabetes, pertinent statistics, the prevailing standard of care, and the transformative influence of insulin on diabetes management and reactive hypoglycemia. Gary provides insights into his reactions to GLP ones, the integration of medical and nutrition science into the medical field, and the influence of organizations such as the American Diabetes Association, AHA, USDA, and NIH. Our discussion also extends to the effects of pharmaceuticals, the shortcomings in our approach to diabetes management and existing models, and the challenge the low-carb community faces. Stay tuned for today's eye-opening conversation, where we shed light on the complexities surrounding diabetes care, explaining how simple lifestyle changes can tremendously improve quality of life. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Rethinking Diabetes is a groundbreaking exploration of diabetes diagnosis, management, and treatment Gary discusses the evolution of evidence-based medicine Why the traditional medical approach to treating diabetes is inadequate How the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association were based on outdated assumptions  How medical treatments compare with lifestyle changes for managing diabetes Controversies surrounding how the pharmaceutical industry has influenced the way medical associations have shaped their diabetes management policies How medical guidelines and dietary advice have evolved What constitutes a healthy diet? How patients often have trouble following diet recommendations, despite their best intentions Is obesity a hormonal disorder or caused by overeating?  Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia’s ⁠website⁠ Submit your questions to [email protected] Connect with Gary Taubes On his ⁠website⁠ X ⁠Facebook⁠ Previous Episode Mentioned ⁠Ep. 137 – High Blood Sugar Levels And Its Long-Term Damage with Gary Taubes⁠ Book Mentioned: Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments is available from most bookstores or on ⁠Amazon⁠.

  • Ep. 510 Confused by Mammograms, Breast MRIs & Ultrasounds? The Clear Guide to Breast Imaging with Dr. Robyn Roth
    As a nurse practitioner, I feel a deep responsibility to my listeners and community to ensure that every guest I bring on shares accurate, evidence-based information. A few months ago, I decided to remove two podcasts from earlier this year to make way for an expert who could speak specifically and authoritatively on breast cancer health. So, I am honored to welcome Dr. Robin Roth today, better known as The Boobie Docs, on her popular breast health social media platform, where she shares information about breast cancer in a fun and educational way.  Dr. Roth is an associate professor of radiology, specializing in breast and abdominal imaging. She is also the host of The Girlfriend's Guide to Breast Cancer podcast, created to support those navigating a breast cancer diagnosis or caring for a loved one. In our discussion today, we dive into misinformation about breast health and breast imaging. We explore the importance of acknowledging disinformation on social media, risk factors for early breast cancer screening, significant and modifiable risk factors, and the effects of dense breast tissue. We examine breast imaging, exploring ultrasound and mammography, the differences between 2D and 3D mammograms (the gold standard), and when to use MRIs. We clarify why thermography and QT imaging are not the gold standard, and why we need to request different types of imaging modalities. We discuss the importance of screenings, challenges, including diagnoses like DCIS, personalized approaches to breast cancer screening, breast cancer staging, and issues with imaging after mastectomies and with implant placement. Dr. Roth also explains how 80% of breast biopsies end up being benign, how to manage anxiety and callbacks for mammograms, how to understand lab reports in plain language terms, and the benefits of supportive resources like cancerbesties.com. With her expertise and approachable style, Dr. Roth reminds us that proper information can make all the difference when it comes to breast health. You will not want to miss this conversation, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How online platforms fuel confusion around breast health and imaging Disinformation may influence breast cancer screening decisions Modifiable factors that can reduce or increase your risk of breast cancer Why dense breast tissue matters for imaging accuracy Ultrasounds, 2D and 3D mammograms, and MRIs  Thermography and QT imaging are not gold standards Why every individual DCIS diagnosis needs a personalized approach Breast cancer staging and how it guides treatment 80% of biopsies are benign, but still essential How to manage anxiety around callbacks and make sense of lab reports Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to [email protected] Connect with Dr. Robyn Roth On her website Social Media: @the boobie docs Preorder a copy of Everyone Has Boobies

  • Ep. 509 We’ve Been Ignoring This Vital Sign – The Most Powerful Tool to Track Hormonal Health with Dr. Mariza Snyder
    Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with a friend and colleague, Dr. Mariza Snyder, to discuss her new book, The Perimenopause Revolution.  In our conversation, we explore some of the most pressing challenges around aging, including shame in a youth-obsessed culture, the lack of research on women’s health, and the physical toll of the aging process. We explain why the menstrual cycle should be considered a fifth vital sign, and what happens when metabolic health begins to decline in midlife, highlighting the value of apps and technology in empowering women to track their cycles. Dr. Mariza clarifies why biometrics, VO₂ Max, DEXA scans, and grip strength matter. She also shares her core pillars of metabolic health and the non-negotiables she believes make the most difference for women navigating the perimenopause-to-menopause transition. I truly enjoyed Dr. Mariza’s book, and I know it will be a powerful resource for women who want to take charge of their metabolic health during perimenopause and beyond. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormonal shifts in midlife can alter energy, mood, and metabolism in unexpected ways Changes that ripple through sleep, stress, and cognition during perimenopause Why, in perimenopause, old diet and exercise strategies often stop working the way they used to  How cultural messages around aging fuel shame and confusion for women How DEXA scans reveal much more about your body composition than weighing yourself does What lab work can reveal about hidden risks  Why you should consider doing bone and muscle scans early in life The benefits of daily strength training for maintaining vitality and independence How regular movement stabilizes energy and glucose levels Why food choices become a critical foundation during midlife transitions Bio:  Dr. Mariza Snyder is a powerhouse advocate for midlife women, leveraging 17+ years as a practitioner, author, and speaker to spark a massive movement for women in perimenopause and beyond. With her top-rated Energized with Dr. Mariza podcast (13 million downloads) and a passionate social media audience with over 400K and 8 million monthly views, she’s a trusted guide—offering science-backed solutions for perimenopause and metabolic health. Her upcoming book, The Perimenopause Revolution (Hay House, October 2025), is the ultimate resource for women ready to take charge of their health and embrace perimenopause with resilience and confidence.

We connected once before in Episode 221, where we spoke about PCOS and metabolic health. Today, Dr. Gersh joins me to dive into perimenopause and menopause. We discuss various issues surrounding the Women’s Health Initiative and talk about estrogen as a family of hormones, estrogen-mimicking chemicals, synthetic hormones, and oral contraceptives. We get into the importance of thyroid function, the pro-inflammatory state of a loss of estrogen in perimenopause and menopause, and the importance of nutrition and exercise for metabolism. We also speak about the lesser-known changes that occur in menopause, including changes in body odor, constipation, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and vocal changes.  I intend to invite Dr. Gersh back again to discuss women and mitochondrial health, and then once again to talk about her latest book, Menopause: The Fifty Things You Need to Know.  Stay tuned to find out what menopause really is, and what it does to a woman’s metabolic system.

  • Ep. 508 Perimenopause Uncovered: From Heavy Periods to Stubborn Weight Gain – A Talk with Dr. Heather Hirsch
    I am delighted to connect with a physician friend and colleague, Dr. Heather Hirsch, today. Dr. Hirsch is an entrepreneur and a board-certified internist by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is also the Founder and CEO of Health by Heather Hirsch, and has a telemedicine practice offering best-in-class individualized care for perimenopause and menopause. In our discussion, we explore heavy menstrual cycles and the benefits of journaling and shared decision-making. We discuss common and frustrating causes of weight loss resistance in middle age, the power of strength training and adequate protein intake, and estrogen as a metabolic regulator that is intricately linked to many physical systems, including digestion. We also examine how educating clinicians on shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause could prevent countless ER visits, and we tackle concerns surrounding contraception and pregnancy prevention in perimenopause, a biopsychosocial approach to low libido, and the often-overlooked silent symptoms Dr. Hirsch often sees in perimenopause and beyond. Today’s conversation with Dr. Hirsch is truly invaluable. I highly recommend her Perimenopause Survival Guide, written by an internal medicine doctor extremely well-versed in perimenopause and menopause. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormonal fluctuations disrupt the body and create confusion in perimenopause The benefits of journaling  How hormonal and lifestyle shifts disrupt metabolism, weight, and insulin sensitivity during perimenopause Why body composition changes matter more than your weight How declining estrogen affects insulin resistance, metabolism, and diabetes risk The value of shared decision-making  How hormones, medications, sleep, relationships, and past trauma can cause changes in libido  How siloed healthcare often leaves perimenopause symptoms misunderstood  How irregular ovulation increases pregnancy risk and why hormone therapy is not a contraceptive Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to [email protected] Connect with Dr. Heather Hirsch On her website YouTube  Social media: @Heather Hirsch MD
