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.

She’s back! Well just for this episode, but still a big cause to be grateful!  Sarah joins me today to share an update with how she’s been since she stepped away from our podcast and our other projects to tend to her health, her family and her gym in Chico, CA. We open up about how we both wished we could’ve done better with the changes this all brought to our friendship and partnership, how hard the past couple of years have been and how we’re now, finally thriving on the other side of it. 

It was so fun to have Sarah back! Give a listen and know we are both so grateful to have had you all along for this wild ride that was the Sarah & Dr Brooke Show and Hangry. And I am even more grateful for sharing with you all whatever comes next!

Such a busy time of year and it can bring with it so much stress around food, exercise, how to fit in your self-care and a host of complicated feelings around family and obligations. But it can also be a time to focus on joy, gratitude, giving and connection which are all great for your hormones!

In this episode I break down a lot of popular nutrition and exercise advice that comes up this time of year from how to eat the day of big celebrations like the upcoming Thanksgiving (for my US listeners) and I answer questions from listeners about navigating the hustle and bustle, how to prioritize anchor habits that help you feel better vs. feeling lost in the woods until the New Year and why you need to have your stress management on point and planned out ahead of time to have a happier holidays!

This time in a woman’s life can be stressful for so many reasons relating to transitions, up and down hormones, reflecting and reassessing our lives and so many changes in family and relationships. But it doesn't have to be miserable! I cover a range of symptoms in this episode from joint pain to brain fog to sleep disruption and hot flashes as well as options in addition to or in place of HRT.
