Welcome to Perfectly Unfinished Conversations, the Iron Lab podcast with Coach Jo…

Coach Kim 00:14

…and Coach Kim.

Coach Jo 00:15

Where you ride shotgun with us as we have raw, real, unfiltered, and unfinished conversations about trying to eat, sleep, train, and live with some integrity in a messy, imperfect life.

Coach Kim 00:27

We're all about creating a strong support system, taking radical personal responsibility, having fun, and being authentic. And one of the most common themes you're going to find in this podcast is the idea that we create positive momentum in our life, by doing what we call b-minus work.

Coach Jo 00:45

We’re making gains and getting ahead and loving life without self-sabotaging our goals by striving for perfection. We get it done by moving ahead…

Coach Kim 00:55

…before we're ready…

Coach Jo 00:56

…when we aren't feeling like it…

Coach Kim 00:58

…and without hesitation.

Coach Jo 01:10

Welcome folks and friends in this episode, we are going to talk about hormones, particularly as it pertains to women's health. We are going to answer a few questions, we're going to talk about our own personal experience with hormone health and our own challenges or changes. But please disclaimer, this is not medical advice. This is conversation opinion and personal insight and experience. We are not medical professionals. It is not intended to be a tool for self diagnosis or a substitute for medical advice, always listen to the advice of your primary care physician, clinician or integrative health practitioner.

Coach Kim 01:48

So hormones, the title of this podcast is hormone hell, or hormone health. And hormones tend to be lumped into this like broad, mysterious, catch all word that gets the blame for bad moods, bodily functions and bitchiness. But I think it's common for us to generalize our thinking when we talk about hormones, and to automatically assume that the word hormones specifically relates to Lady hormones like progesterone and estrogen, and we'll get there, but those are actually just two out of over 50 hormones that have been identified in the human body. Wikipedia, in my research for this episode, lists 74 and I have seen somewhere in the last several months where somebody was talking about up to 200 hormones that have been identified now, who? I don't have a definitive list on that, but there's a lot. It's not just progesterone and estrogen. Hormones play crucial roles in regulating a wide variety of physiological processes, including your metabolism, growth, reproduction, mood and stress responses. The exact number can vary depending on how researchers define and classify hormones. Okay, whoa, spit it out, Kim. As some molecules may have hormone like functions without being formally categorized as hormones. Hormones include the well known ones like cortisol and melatonin and testosterone, and also include the ones we may not realize are hormones like insulin, adrenaline and vitamin D, which was originally mislabeled as a vitamin and its hormone name is calcitriol, so that's the like baseline intro to this podcast.

Coach Jo 03:48

Let's start with hormones in men versus women. And the types of hormones are largely the same in men and women, but their levels and roles, they differ significantly, especially in the context of our own differences between our reproductive systems, we have shared hormones. Both men and women produce hormones together, such as insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormones, growth hormone and adrenaline. And we share the same sex hormones, even though the levels and primary functions differ between the two. So here's all your sciency stuff. Example, estrogen, higher in women, essential for reproductive health and secondary sexual characteristics. You've got progesterone, which is predominantly active in women, regulating your menstrual cycles and supporting pregnancy. And you've got testosterone, which is obviously higher in men, as you have probably heard, crucial for muscle mass, bone density and male secondary sexual characteristics, women produce similar amounts, which it still influences your libido and your muscle mass. And then there are the reproductive like the specific reproductive hormones, like follicle stimulating hormone or FSH, you got luteinizing hormone, LH, which regulates menstrual cycles and ovulation and HCG in pregnancy, which helps thicken a uterine lining to support a growing baby and embryo, and it tells the body, hey, time to stop your period. And then you got androgens like testosterone, which they're dominant with FSH and LH, regulating your sperm production.
