    S6 Ep. 28: SEEK26 Hormone Genius: BioEvangelism: Spreading the Truth About Your Body
    Apr 1 2026
    What if your body wasn’t something to “fix” or control, but something to understand? In this episode, we explore the concept of natural law, not as a religious idea, but as a pattern woven into every part of life. From the changing seasons to agricultural cycles, the world around us operates in rhythms. When those rhythms are disrupted, the consequences are clear: crops fail without water, ecosystems fall out of balance, and health declines. The same is true for the human body, especially the female hormonal cycle. We break down how the menstrual cycle is more than just a monthly occurrence, it’s a vital sign of health, reflecting the intricate hormonal communication that supports fertility, mood, energy, and overall well-being. When that natural rhythm is interrupted, whether by environmental toxins like BPA and phthalates, chronic stress, or hormonal birth control, the body often responds with imbalance. We dive into the research behind: How xenoestrogens impact fertility and hormonal signaling The classification of hormonal birth control as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization The effects of endocrine disruptors on both women and men The surprising science of pheromones, including the well-known “T-shirt study” and how attraction can shift when hormones are altered We also unpack how hormones naturally rise and fall throughout the cycle, and why those fluctuations are not problems to suppress, but signals to understand. This conversation isn’t about eliminating desire, emotion, or modern convenience—it’s about alignment. True vitality comes when the body’s systems are working in harmony, not against each other. When hormones are in balance, many women report greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and a deeper sense of well-being. We explore real-life examples-, from the “chocolate cake effect” to cultural patterns of attraction, and how small shifts in awareness can lead to profound changes in how we experience our bodies and relationships. Whether you’re preparing for marriage someday, navigating your health right now, or simply curious about how your body works, this episode is an invitation to live more intentionally.

    S6 Ep. 27: Return to Simple: Reclaiming Rhythm, Rest, and the Wisdom Within with Kim VanDolah
    Mar 25 2026
    What if the path to better hormones, clearer thinking, and deeper peace wasn’t found in doing more but in returning to less? In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we sit down with Kim VanDolah, wife, mother of six, author of Return to Simple, and health and lifestyle coach, to explore what it really means to step away from the noise of modern life and return to the rhythms we were designed to live by. Kim shares her journey of letting go of overwhelm, expectations, and complexity, and how embracing a simpler, more intentional way of living transformed her mind, body, and spirit. At the heart of this conversation is a powerful idea: the body, and life itself—functions best when we live in alignment with natural rhythms. When those rhythms are disrupted, whether through chronic stress, overstimulation, or disconnection from how we were created to live, we often see the effects in our health, especially in our hormones. Together, we explore what Kim calls The Seven Ancient Paths, timeless principles that restore balance, clarity, and vitality: True-Hearted Living – aligning with truth and living with integrity Fasting – creating space by letting go of what no longer serves Nourishment – choosing simple, nutrient-dense foods that truly fuel the body Simplicity – clearing the excess to make room for what matters most Nature – reconnecting with the rhythms of the natural world Play – rediscovering joy, creativity, and lightness Presence – slowing down and being fully where you are We also connect these principles to hormone health; how stress, disconnection, and overcomplication can dysregulate the body, and how returning to simple, foundational habits can help restore balance. From nourishment to rest, from cycle awareness to nervous system regulation, this episode is a reminder that the body often doesn’t need more intervention, it needs reconnection. Kim’s message is both grounding and freeing: your body is not the problem. It’s often the pace, pressure, and patterns of modern life that pull us out of alignment. In this episode, we discuss: Why simplicity is foundational to hormone health The connection between natural rhythms and the menstrual cycle How fasting and nourishment work together—not against each other The role of presence, rest, and nervous system regulation Practical ways to begin simplifying your daily life Sponsors 💛 We Heart Nutrition Thoughtfully formulated supplements designed to support women’s health at every stage of life. 🎁 20% off with code: GENIUS 🐄 Wonder Cow Colostrum Supports gut health, immune function, inflammation balance, and tissue repair — especially valuable during postpartum recovery. 🎁 30% off your subscription with code: HORMONEGENIUS 🔗 www.wondercow.com/hormonegenius We’re excited to partner with Salt & Light by Sami, a brand whose mission is to provide toxin-free candles that enhance the aroma of any space.

  • S6 Ep. 26: Protein: The Building Blocks of Health, Hormones, and Longevity

    S6 Ep. 26: Protein: The Building Blocks of Health, Hormones, and Longevity
    Mar 18 2026
    In this episode of the Hormone Genius Podcast, we dive into the science behind protein, without getting lost in the intimidating biochemical diagrams. Instead, we take a practical and approachable look at what protein actually does in the body, why amino acids matter, and how much protein people really need to support optimal health. Proteins are literally the structural foundation of our bodies. They make up a significant portion of our tissues, including muscles, organs, skin, enzymes, hormones, and immune molecules. In fact, a large percentage of our body composition is made up of protein-based structures. Every cell in the body relies on proteins to function. That means every day our bodies must continually rebuild and repair protein structures just to maintain normal physiological balance. This process is known as anabolism, the state where the body is building and repairing tissues. The opposite state is catabolism, where tissues begin to break down. Ideally, our bodies maintain a balance between these two states. But if we don’t consume enough protein, or if our bodies are under stress, illness, trauma, or aging—the body can shift toward catabolism. In that situation, it begins breaking down muscle tissue in order to release amino acids needed to sustain essential functions. One of the most common questions about protein is how much we should consume daily. You may have heard the popular recommendation of eating one gram of protein per pound of body weight. While this guideline is common in fitness communities, it may be unnecessarily high for many individuals. Current research from protein experts like Dr. Don Layman suggests that for most healthy adults who exercise moderately, a target of around: 0.7–0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight may be sufficient to maintain muscle mass and support metabolic health. For many people, this translates to roughly 90–100 grams of protein per day. A simple strategy is to aim for 25–30 grams of protein per meal across three meals daily. This approach naturally distributes protein intake in a balanced way and supports consistent amino acid availability throughout the day. In other words, when the body doesn’t receive enough protein from food, it may start consuming its own muscle to survive. This is one reason protein intake becomes increasingly important as we age.
