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.

There is a huge divide on using compounded pharmacies vs. your standard local pharmacy. On one hand many things compounding is the only way you can get bioidentical hormone therapy and on the other hand there’s a ton of fear around using these seemingly “unregulated” facilities and formulas. As always, the truth is in the middle and I cover the myths about regulation, what the role of these types of formulas are and much more in this episode!

Endometriosis can be debilitating for women and not only is treatment somewhat hit and miss, many women go undiagnosed for years. In this episode I cover some new areas of research and potential root causes of endometriosis. As well, when it comes to hormones there is a shift away from focusing only on estrogen dominance towards local estrogen activity in endometriomas and progesterone resistance. This episode will give women a more holistic view on this condition as well as several new ways to think about treatment.

HIgh doses of naltrexone are used for certain addiction treatments, but lower and mid range doses have been shown to have hormonal, anti-inflammatory and weight loss benefits - with relatively few side effects for most women. In this episode I talk about using naltrexone with conditions such as Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune and how it can play into cravings and weight loss success. With all that in mind, it has uses in a variety of symptoms of midlife as well.

NAD levels start to decline by up to 65% between ages 30 and 70 and this can lead to more signs of aging, less energy and worse recovery. Qualia NAD+ is formulated to target the entire process our cells undergo to make, use and then recycle NAD+ for optimal results that you can see and feel. With so many NAD boosting products out there, what sets Qualia NAD+ apart is that it uses three different precursors to support the various ways our cells make NAD+ and its very holistic formula supports this production pathway from start to finish with enzyme cofactors as well as raw materials. So spruce up your aging, tired mitochondria, improve genetic repair and stem cell renewal AND save big with this link that automatically gives 50% off the product AND if you enter code BETTEREVERYDAY you’ll get another 15% off!
