🔔THIS WEEK's Wild Wisdom Show: Mammogram vs Ultrasound for Breast Cancer Screening: Benefits, Harms & Dense Breasts Explained

Breast cancer screening can save lives — and it also comes with real trade-offs.
In this episode of the Wild Wisdom Show, I break down what the research actually shows about:
• How much mammography vs ultrasound screening reduces breast cancer deaths
• What overdiagnosis really means (and why it matters)
• Why dense breasts change the conversation
• Whether ultrasound — including 3D Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) — improves outcomes
• And what we still don’t know about breast cancer screening
This is not about fear or right versus wrong. It’s about informed and empowered decision-making.
🔥 A powerful way to support breast health is by reducing chronic inflammation. Be sure to watch my Inflammation Playlist for practical lifestyle strategies you can start today.
👉 Let me know in the comments: Has anyone ever explained breast cancer screening to you holistically?

Curious about how to fast—and when to eat—the smart way for hormone health?

I covered this in detail on the Wild Wisdom Show. Here’s the link: https://youtube.com/live/i5SukT2-wjU

In this episode, I explain how to harness fasting benefits without running into problems like chronically delaying your first meal, which can contribute to blood sugar stress and hormonal disruption over time. I also review the research—including the study that led to some surprising results.

Lately I’ve been diving deep into skin health — and it’s been such a fascinating journey. From topical bioidentical hormone creams, to natural sources of retinol, to strategies that support facial bone structure and help prevent (and even improve) wrinkles, brown spots, sagging, and jowls… I’m exploring it all.

Skin health isn’t about vanity. It’s how we present ourselves to the world. It often reflects what’s happening internally, and when our skin feels like it’s aging quickly or changing in ways we don’t understand, it can leave us feeling vulnerable or discouraged.

You deserve to feel radiant — with an inner vitality that shows on the outside.
I’d truly love to hear: what are your biggest questions about skin health right now?

If you’re dealing with hair loss, the main driver may not be your hair—it may be low-grade inflammation.

Chronic, low-grade inflammation can quietly disrupt the hair-growth cycle, irritate the scalp environment, and reduce the nutrients and oxygen your follicles need to thrive. Whether the trigger is stress, digestive issues, glucose spikes, hormonal shifts, or environmental exposures, inflammation can be the missing link that keeps hair stuck in shedding.

In this episode of the Wild Wisdom Show, I unpack how inflammation can act as a root cause in many types of hair loss—and what you can do to support a calmer foundation for regrowth.

Hair loss linked to suboptimal vitamin D is often very treatable—and a simple blood test with your doctor can be a great next step in your hair-health journey.

Whether you start your day with a sweet or savoury breakfast can make a real difference to hormone health.

**Sweet breakfast** → higher blood glucose → more insulin production → greater risk of hormone imbalance
**Savoury breakfast** → steadier blood glucose → more stable insulin production → better hormone balance

To support a healthier blood glucose response at breakfast, try having **vegetables and herbs, nuts and seeds, plus protein and healthy fats** *before* higher-starch carbs like **bread or oats**.

Better blood glucose after breakfast often means better blood glucose throughout the day—so getting this one meal right can make a big difference.

🔔THIS WEEK on The Wild Wisdom Show: Can Poor Sleep Cause Hair Loss? The Science of Cortisol, Hormones & Your Circadian Rhythm, VIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/eT4K8sEsA7U

In this episode of The Wild Wisdom Show, I explore the science behind the connection between poor sleep and hair loss — including autoimmune hair loss (alopecia areata), pattern genetic hair loss (androgenic alopecia or AGA), stress shedding, and the role of your circadian rhythm (your body’s internal clock).

Research now shows that poor sleep may:

• Increase stress hormones like cortisol
• Disrupt immune balance
• Promote inflammation
• Alter hair follicle circadian timing
• Worsen both stress, hormonal, and autoimmune-related hair loss

And interestingly — the relationship appears to go both ways.

I’ll break down:
✔ What the research actually shows
✔ How insomnia and sleep apnea may contribute
✔ Why late sleepers may have higher hair loss risk
✔ How cortisol measured in hair reflects chronic stress
✔ Why your hair follicles have their own biological clock

💪 And most importantly, what you can do about it.

If you’re addressing hair loss from a root-cause perspective, sleep may be one of the most overlooked pillars.

👇 Let me know in the video comments:
Are you sleeping 7–9 hours consistently?

My hair is finally recovering after the hair loss I experienced from the stress and inflammation of two knee surgeries this spring and summer… and it’s honestly kind of amazing (and a little funny 😅).

I have so many baby hairs sprouting along my hairline. They really make themselves known when I put my hair up in a ponytail! Not exactly sleek… but definitely something to celebrate.
I am SO grateful it’s growing back this quickly and abundantly. There was a stretch where I truly wondered if it would.

It’s hard to say how much of this regrowth is simply time… and how much is from all the strategies I’ve been using from my Healthy Hair Playlist (LINK: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Jz-7U8Hy6odKOFcXR8ANJrthAmmncQv) - targeted nutrition, key supplements, scalp massage, light therapy, nervous system support, and more.

Either way, I’m thankful. The body has an incredible ability to recover when we support it well.
Also, in my effort to repair my hair after bleaching and support healthier cuticles, I experimented with a plant-based indigo/senna dye from Khadi. I absolutely love how shiny and healthy my hair looks now — though it did turn out a little darker than I expected.

Over time, I’ll tweak the blend (a bit more Sunrise, a little less Golden Brown) to lighten it while keeping that rich, healthy tone.

One important note: once you use henna-based dyes, you can’t safely bleach over them — so be sure you’re comfortable going darker before you commit.

How is your hair health these days?
