💧 Did you know that approximately 62% of the atoms in your body are hydrogen?

We talk a lot about vitamins, minerals, protein, and hydration when it comes to our health. But what about hydrogen? What if hydrogen is the overlooked piece of your Health puzzle? 🧩

In this conversation, George Wiseman shares his perspective on hydrogen, water, and why he believes we should pay more attention to this element.

We know that water is essential for life. But George wants us to think beyond hydration alone and explore hydrogen from a different perspective. 🔬

What does hydrogen have to do with human health? And what does the science actually tell us? And we know that George is not the only one saying this.

“I’m too old to build muscle.” Actually… 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚. 💪🏻

One of the biggest myths I hear is that once women reach perimenopause or post menopause, it’s all downhill from there. That simply isn’t true.

Yes, hormones change.
Yes, building muscle and bone 🦴 may require a different approach. But your body is still capable of doing it.

Resistance and weight training sends your body an important message: “This muscle and bone are needing to grow.” Combined with good nutrition, adequate protein, recovery/sleep, and a well-designed program, you can absolutely become stronger and healthier as you age.

Don’t let age become the excuse that stops you from becoming the strongest version of yourself. Age is just a number!!

I work with women every day who are improving their health, getting stronger, losing weight, increasing their confidence, and feeling better than they have in years.
Your best years are waiting for you!!

👉🏻 this is a clip from my recent podcast conversation with Platt Wellness - the full conversation is full of gold nuggets from both of us! You can check it out on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform now! Links are in my bio.

This study, published in eBioMedicine (March 2026), investigated how natural fluctuations in endogenous s*x hormones affect brain structure across the menstrual cycle.

Using structural MRI, researchers compared brain morphology during menstruation (low hormones) and the periovulatory phase (high estradiol, rising progesterone) in healthy women.

A total of 32 naturally cycling women were included; no hormones were administered - this study reflects endogenous (made in the body) hormone activity only.

The goal was to determine whether estradiol or progesterone more strongly correlates with changes in grey matter volume and cortical thickness.

The study found that progesterone showed stronger and more consistent associations with brain structure than estradiol.

Structural changes were observed in regions rich in progesterone receptors, suggesting a biologically plausible mechanism.

The authors concluded that dynamic, hormone-related brain reorganization is a reproducible feature of the menstrual cycle.

Progesterone appears to be a key modulator of brain morphology, meaning it actively influences the physical structure of the brain. 🧠

The study did not measure cognitive function or brain health outcomes but increased grey matter and cortical thickness is generally considered good. 🙌🏻

It shows that progesterone has a measurable and meaningful effect on the brain.

Other authors’ highlights:
- “Progesterone… emerges as the stronger and more consistent modulator.”
- “Macrostructural changes preferentially occur in regions with high progesterone receptor density.”
- “Dynamic, hormone-related brain reorganisation is a reproducible feature of the menstrual cycle.”

It also highlights that progesterone, not just estrogen, plays a major role in shaping brain structure.

Behind every balanced hormone system is a body that feels safe and supported. Nothing fancy - just the foundations for a balanced system. 💚

Hormone balance doesn’t start with supplements.
It starts with foundations.
Before we try to “fix” hormones, the body needs to feel:
• safe
• nourished
• energized

This is the framework behind my nutrition and hormones guide and it’s where real, lasting hormone support begins.

If hormones have felt confusing or frustrating, this is likely the piece that’s been missing. Stop clutching at straws and address the foundations.
✨ The magic will follow.

🧠 CAN WE STOP THE PROGRESSION OF ALZHEIMER’S AND ALS?

What role could oxidative stress, protein misfolding, inflammation, and astaxanthin play in neurodegenerative diseases?

In this fascinating conversation, Sam Shepherd shares his perspective on the connection between free radicals, amyloid beta proteins, and neuronal damage. He also discusses his work with ValAsta and his approach to addressing oxidative stress and inflammation.

These are important questions that deserve further investigation, particularly when it comes to the potential role of antioxidants in neurological health.

SUCCESS BEGETS SUCCESS!🙌🏻
Healthy habits compound each other.
They literally enhance each other’s effectiveness.
How amazing is that?!

Exercise + healthy food + stress management + good sleep → optimal body composition + a stronger health profile

Exercise + healthy food + chronic stress + poor sleep → undesirable body composition + less fat loss, less muscle growth + poorer health overall 🫣

Morning sunlight + dim evenings + consistent sleep & wake times → strong circadian cues for better sleep + better hormonal health

Morning sunlight + bright nights + irregular bedtimes → disrupted circadian & hormonal cues and waaay worse sleep

The benefit of one habit depends on the habits around it, which is why you need to cultivate them together.

Following on from yesterday’s post…
There is an important connection between progesterone, adrenaline, and the sensation of not being able to catch your breath AKA oxygen hunger or air hunger.

When progesterone falls, we can change several systems at once, not simply reproduction and the menstrual cycle.

We see changes in:
→ respiratory drive
→ CO₂ regulation
→ autonomic/sympathetic regulation
→ sleep
→ stress and anxiety responses
→ perception of breathing

Progesterone is actually a respiratory stimulant, like we learned yesterday. And research shows that breathing changes as progesterone rises and falls throughout the menstrual cycle.

So what happens when progesterone becomes low or inconsistent in perimenopause? Well, Adrenaline takes over. 😬

And with that can come stress, anxiety, overwhelm, poor sleep, racing heart and sometimes that frustrating feeling of “I just can’t get a satisfying breath.”

👉🏻 And then there’s magnesium.
Magnesium is essential for nervous-system regulation, muscle function and the stress response. Increased stress can increase the body’s burn rate of magnesium, and significant magnesium deficiency can affect respiratory muscle function too! 🫣

So could there be a connection between:
↓ Progesterone
→ ↑ sympathetic/adrenaline activity
→ ↑ magnesium demand
→ changes in breathing and air hunger?

Yes 👍🏻.

Ps: if you’re experiencing new or persistent shortness of breath, always have it medically evaluated rather than assuming it’s hormonal first.

𝑳𝒐𝒘 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑨 𝑪𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑶𝒙𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒏 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓. 💨
Progesterone is a respiratory stimulant - it helps drive respiration.🌬️

Progesterone acts on the brain’s respiratory control system, particularly increasing the sensitivity of the respiratory centers to carbon dioxide (CO₂). In other words, progesterone helps the brain recognize the need to breathe and increases ventilation.

This becomes very obvious during pregnancy, when progesterone rises dramatically. Progesterone is one of the major reasons pregnant women develop increased ventilation -> minute ventilation can rise roughly 40–50%.

And this isn’t just a pregnancy phenomenon. The menstrual cycle gives us really interesting insight too!

Researchers have compared women during the follicular phase, when progesterone is low, with the luteal phase, when progesterone is substantially higher.
In one study of healthy women:
* progesterone was higher during the luteal phase
* resting ventilation was higher
* arterial CO₂ was lower
* ventilation increased by approximately 1 L/min
* the authors concluded that progesterone was likely contributing to the increased ventilatory drive.

Older research found similar findings: during the luteal phase, women had greater resting ventilation and greater ventilatory responses to both hypoxia and elevated CO₂.

👉🏻 So what happens when progesterone disappears in perimenopause?

If a woman goes from having regular ovulation and a meaningful luteal progesterone rise to having:

anovulatory cycles → weak luteal phases → eventually very little/no ovarian progesterone

she loses some of that progesterone-mediated respiratory stimulation & will feel like she’s struggling to catch her breath.

👉🏻 There is older research showing that progesterone affects the response to hypoxia (low oxygen) as well as CO₂. During the luteal phase, resting oxygen and CO₂ levels changed and the hypoxic respiratory drive increased in some women.

‼️Watch out for my next post on how adrenaline influences respiratory action.
