Dr. Brooke Show

Amidst polarizing, conflicting, and often alarming health and hormone information, The Dr Brooke Show is a voice of sanity where a sensible and nuanced take is honored. Black-and-white thinking, complex daily routines, and hormone advice that get you lost in minutia are not welcome here, but you are. With your host Dr Brooke Kalanick, functional medicine doctor and female hormone expert, you’ll sift through the nonsense and get to what matters most for your hormones and your happiness. Deep dive with expert interviews as well as Dr. Brooke’s solo episodes will give you the solutions you need. Dr Brooke is a speaker, author, and unlike most online experts: still a doc in full-time practice working with real women every day. Like you, she is navigating the moving target that is female hormones through the years and trying to live life more like interval training vs. a marathon: work hard but also recover, learning when to have more grit or when to have more grace. Oh, and also trying not to give her kids too much to talk about in therapy someday. Her promise to you is at least one actionable takeaway from each episode to help you BETTER today. New episodes every Tuesday because a fresh take doesn’t have to happen on a Monday. Any day, any moment is a chance to heal a bit, love ourselves more, make a better choice, and just maybe change our lives. If this week’s topic isn’t for you, check past episodes and stay tuned for next week as a lot of ground is covered on this show! Whether you are 20 or 60, you deserve to understand how your hormones work and how you can feel your best.

Talk about a special show! In this episode we had Sarah’s 14 year old son, Jaden, join us to talk about what it’s been like having parents so immersed in health and wellness as well as many issues facing teenagers today. Jaden gave a unique view into how to talk more effectively to our children about sensitive subjects and how often the answer to having better communication with our kids is simply respect. And of course we asked how he eats when he’s away from Sarah! All Paleo all the time? Find out! Warning: we did talk about some potentially sensitive subjects including sex, consent and dating especially given the current climate around sexual assault. Hope you enjoy it and we’ll likely be having him back it was so much fun!

In this episode we dove into paleo and AIP for autoimmune issues, where to start and how to transition to a broader range of foods in time. Most importantly we covered what to do if you don’t get better on these template diets! This of course took us to gut healing and why supplements may be necessary to get you to the next level as well as how often we need to “heal” our guts anyway. Finally we covered a lot of mindset strategies to make it work when you’re on a restricted diet temporarily or longer term, what deficiencies arise nutritionally and what to do about the psychological and emotional issues that come along with dieting – of any type.

Happy Anniversary everyone! This is our 100th episode!! Thank you so much for being here with us. Like any journey, this one has not been without its ups and down, on and off times, breezy spots and really tough spots. To celebrate this milestone we are sharing what we do daily to keep ourselves grounded in our intentions and what we do to get back on track when life happens. Hear exactly what we do first thing in the morning to set our tone for the day, how we check in as life pulls us away from what matters most and the one thing we both do get back into our power when it all feels out of control.

Don’t miss the upcoming FREE webinar with Dr Brooke September 18th, 8PM Eastern on Inflammation & Women’s Hormones – especially if you’re a woman with PCOS. Register here.

FEW SPOTS STILL AVAILABLE for our retreat October 4-8, 2018 in Chico! We’re hosting a workshop style retreat with a ton of hands on time with both of us, plenty of working out and exercise coaching with Sarah as well as digging in to your health and even lab work with Dr Brooke. AND if you loved hearing from John on this episode, he’ll be there helping out as well!
