Summary

361: I sat down with Dr. Patrick Flynn to break down everything you thought you knew about hormones, and honestly, this one challenged a lot of common beliefs. We get into why PMS might not be “normal,” what’s actually going on with estrogen (hint, it’s not just one hormone), and how stress could be the biggest disruptor of your health. We also talk about why so many women feel off, anxious, or out of sync, and what might really be behind it. We go deep into hormone testing, lifestyle factors, and how your daily habits could be impacting everything from your mood to your cycle. If you’ve ever felt like something is off but can’t quite explain it, this episode will definitely get you thinking. Topics Discussed: → Is PMS actually normal or a hormone imbalance? → What does estrogen really do in the body? → How does stress affect women’s hormones? → What are signs your hormones are out of balance? → Should you get full hormone testing done?

0:00.0	Guys, you never say anything bad to a woman because by 12 o'clock, they said so much bad something to itself, you shouldn't add to it. And see, so therefore, I said, listen, men and women are dramatically different. And it's okay, we both have amazing things about us that way. And so I said, ladies, I need you to get up in the morning and look in the mirror and let you know that you're awesome, that you're an amazing person. You're listening to
0:22.3	The Digest This Podcast, and I'm your host, Bethany Cameron. Hey guys, welcome back to the Digest
0:29.4	This podcast. Today on the show is Dr. Patrick Flynn. He is a chiropractor and the founder of
0:36.5	the Wellness Way.
0:41.3	He has attended numerous colleges including Harvard Medical School.
0:45.8	His education contributes to his expertise in all things hormones.
0:52.8	Within his 21 years of a practice, he trained thousands of doctors on a different approach to health healthcare and is here today to talk all about
0:57.5	hormones and how PMS is not actually normal. We covered so much in this episode and I personally
1:05.2	learned a lot. So let's get right into it. Inflammation can be the root cause of several ailments in the body, including migraines, arthritis, joint pain, and even digestive issues.
1:18.6	One of the most widely used and ancient remedies for inflammation is actually olive oil.
1:24.0	But not all olive oil is the same, and many of them are almost two years old by the
1:29.2	time they get to the store shelves and into your home. And for many olive oil companies,
1:34.3	it's cheaper to buy last year's harvest from farmers and bottle that up and sell it rather than
1:40.5	buying the latest harvest. Once I switched to Cassandrino's organic extra virgin olive oil,
1:46.6	I immediately tasted and even felt the difference. There was even a time I had a sore throat
1:52.9	and took a spoon of Cassandrino's olive oil and it instantly sued my throat. It literally has
1:58.9	medicinal properties and I tell all my friends and family about it.
2:02.6	There's a reason this oil is not sold in stores. The owner decided to only sell direct to
2:08.6	consumers to ensure each person was getting the freshest oil possible, limiting the time
2:14.6	their oil sits on the store shelves and under fluorescent lighting.
2:18.4	Cassandrina's oil is also pressed and bottled all within 24 hours of handpicking,
2:24.6	so no machinery is used, and it's shipped all the way from Greece to the USA within two weeks.
