Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! Sugar is one of the most widely consumed ingredients and for a good reason. It makes things taste sweeter and more appealing to our tastebuds. Plus, sugar is added to many packaged foods and beverages, and we may be unaware we're consuming so much of it. With this constant exposure, it's no wonder why craving sweets is a common experience. But is it all due to personal habits and our culture's influence, or is something else going on?

08 Apr 2024Endometriosis: Everything You Need to Know00:32:32

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! Endometriosis is a significant health problem affecting 1 in 10 people of childbearing age. But it’s not unusual for them to go years before getting the treatment they need. Many of the patients who come to my OB-GYN practice have sought help for their endometriosis before meeting with me. Their concerns haven't always been addressed, though, resulting in continued pain or debilitating symptoms. This can affect their quality of life, intimate relationships, and ability to get pregnant. It doesn't have to be this way. Knowing the facts about endometriosis can help people better advocate for themselves and get the care they deserve.

03 Feb 2024The Misogyny of Medicine, Oral Estrogen Edition00:10:50

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!It is very popular to vilify estrogen these days. The most obvious reason is the result of several sensationalized interpretations of the famous WHI (Women’s Health Initiative) “Prempro” data first out in 2002. While the attempt to objectify the effects of post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy is highly admirable, confusion and inappropriate interpretations have resulted in unprecedented fear of “all things estrogen.” This has created huge challenges for those of us who are interested in the wellness and education of women.

05 Nov 2023Does the Whole30 Diet Work?00:13:35

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! The Whole30 plan follows a paleo philosophy but with some extra restrictions. It’s not a diet or a weight loss plan that focuses on tracking calories or counting points. Whole30 much more resembles an elimination diet plan. The idea behind this approach is to reset your metabolism and digestive tract. According to some research studies, elimination diets like Whole30 can be an effective tool to help some people with gastrointestinal issues. The question is though, does it really work?

04 Apr 2025Why Progesterone Doesn’t Work for Everyone00:18:02

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!

Today he addresses a topic many women have been waiting to hear more about: why some people don't tolerate progesterone well.

Often overlooked in both conventional and alternative medicine, "reverse responders" experience heightened anxiety, insomnia, or mood shifts when taking progesterone — a reaction that defies the standard approach. Dr. McCarthy explores the science behind these responses, the emotional toll of being dismissed, and why deeper investigation and individualized care are essential.

This episode is the first in a multi-part series where Dr. McCarthy shares: • What progesterone is supposed to do in the body • Why it can sometimes cause adverse effects • The importance of understanding hormone-brain interactions • A more compassionate and evidence-based approach to hormone therapy

If you or someone you love has struggled with hormone treatments, this episode offers insight, validation, and a path forward.

09 Apr 2025When Progesterone Backfires: The Hidden Link Between Hormones, Anxiety & Trauma00:16:43

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!

 

While progesterone is often prescribed for its calming and hormone-balancing effects, some women experience the exact opposite—increased anxiety, depression, and emotional instability. This phenomenon, known as reverse responding, is more common than many realize.

In this episode we explore:

The neurological effects of progesterone and why it can backfire

The role of allopregnanolone and the GABA receptor

How trauma, PTSD, and adverse childhood experiences impact hormonal response

Safer and more personalized treatment options—including transrectal delivery, low-dose titration, and supportive therapies like EMDR and testosterone modulation

Why addressing hormone imbalances requires more than symptom management—it requires a deeper understanding of the brain-body connection

 

This science-driven, trauma-informed conversation offers vital insights for any woman who’s felt worse after starting progesterone—and for the healthcare providers who want to help them.

15 Aug 2024How PTSD can effect your health00:35:57

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! It’s estimated that 3.5% of the American population struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) annually. Originally, PTSD was a stand-in for the terms “shell-shock” and “battle fatigue” and typically applied to veterans of wars who returned home with trauma-related symptoms. But we understand now that PTSD can arise from a wide range of stressors aside from war, and it’s twice as likely to affect women as men, but how can it effect your health?
