The Health Revival Show

Low testosterone in women starts far earlier than anyone tells you — 25% gone by the mid-20s, half by the mid-30s. Liz & Becca break down why testosterone, not estrogen, is the first hormone to go, what oral birth control does to free testosterone and SHBG, why 80% of autoimmune disease shows up in women, and what "normal range" actually means when the reference population is post-menopausal. Both hosts share their own labs, including a total testosterone of 8. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

NAD supplements, IVs, and patches are everywhere — and for a lot of women they do nothing or make things worse. Liz Roman and Becca Chilczenkowski explain why: an enzyme called CD38 consumes NAD and gets more active the more inflamed you are, so a big IV dose in an inflamed body can drive inflammation, anxiety, and autoimmune flares instead of energy. Inside: what NAD actually does, the three mitochondrial genes that decide if it works, NR vs NMN, and the 663-Dalton reason patches don't absorb. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Your GLP-1 stopped working — and it probably isn't the drug. Peptide educator Hunter Williams joins Liz and Becca to explain why tirzepatide plateaus look identical to starvation, why post-menopausal women on HRT lost 35% more weight at the same dose, and why Retatrutide is the wrong first choice for a stressed nervous system. Plus: the five buckets to fix before stacking anything, low-dose naltrexone as a tolerance reset, thyroid shutdown from chronic dieting, and how to actually vet a peptide vendor.

Anxiety in perimenopause isn't a mood problem — it's a clearance problem. Liz Roman and Becca Chilczenkowski break down COMT, GAD1 and FUT2: the three genes that decide how fast you clear adrenaline, whether you can build GABA, and whether your gut can grow the bacteria that make it. Plus why L-glutamine can make anxiety worse, why oral GABA mostly doesn't work, the lab markers hiding in plain sight on your standard panel, and why "your genes didn't change — your estrogen did." *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

The BRCA gene doesn't cause breast cancer — it removes one of your body's safeguards, and your metabolic terrain decides whether that ever matters. Liz & Becca break down where the 72% lifetime risk number actually comes from, why autopsies find cancer cells in women who died of something else, what tamoxifen does to your bones, thyroid and uterus, whether you can take HRT as a carrier, and the exact labs to run before anyone mentions surgery. Blunt, sourced, and not designed to make you comfortable. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Perimenopause didn't give you a new disease — it exposed one you've been carrying. Dr. Bill Rawls, MD, spent 20 years in OB/GYN, crashed, and couldn't get an answer from his own colleagues. He explains the "boiling point" where cellular damage and dormant microbe reactivation start feeding each other, why chronic infection testing fails, why only some people get sick from mold in the same building, and why your insomnia, constipation, and stalled detox are one problem instead of three. If your labs are normal and you are not, start here.

Hair loss in women almost never shows up on a standard lab panel — and that's the problem. Autoimmune nutritionist VJ Hamilton, diagnosed with alopecia areata at seven, breaks down what she actually tests: ferritin and iron storage, thyroid conversion, and gut immune tolerance. Liz and Becca get into heme vs. non-heme iron, why excess zinc turns regrowth white, what rosemary oil and onion juice really do, and how long regrowth honestly takes. If you've been told your bloodwork is normal while your part keeps widening, start here.

This is episode 1,000 of The Health Revival Show, and it's not a victory lap — it's the five things Liz Roman (@thepoopqueen) and Becca Chilczenkowski (@thehormonequeen) got wrong about gut health, hormones and weight resistance across six years of practice. Inside: why five days a week of CrossFit plus Whole30 plus a calorie deficit made women worse, why no single diet is the answer, why nothing real gets fixed in six weeks regardless of who's promising it, and why the information you've already read isn't the thing standing between you and feeling better. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Kill phases take weeks. Rebuild phases take months. Almost nobody does the second part — which is why so many SIBO, H. pylori and parasite protocols end with the same histamine symptoms they started with. Liz Roman and Becca Chilczenkowski answer five listener questions: iodine as a growth regulator behind cysts, fibroids and thyroid nodules; estrogen dominance with normal labs; a child's eczema through the gut; post-surgery constipation; and telling venous insufficiency apart from lymphedema and a Baker's cyst. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Constipated every vacation? Liz & Becca explain why travel constipation is a motility problem, not a food problem — stress flips you into a sympathetic state and digestion only runs on the parasympathetic side. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Metabolic-health author Ben Azadi joins Liz Roman to explain sugar burning vs. fat adaptation, how to do keto without a gallbladder, why seed oils sabotage "keto" diets, and the reframe that changes everything: you get healthy to lose weight, not the other way around.

Why can't you stay consistent with your health, even when you want it? Because you're waiting for motivation — and it's almost never there. Liz and Becca break down the 10 traits behind people who actually follow through: willpower over motivation, non-negotiables, protecting your energy, and why "normal" labs and a 15-years-behind medical system keep you stuck.

A calcium shell is what happens when calcium leaves your bones and hardens into your joints, muscles, fascia, and brain — and blood calcium reads normal the whole time. Becca and Liz break down the symptom cluster it drives (chronic pain, stiffness, IBS, brain fog, kidney stones, anxiety), what actually causes it, and why mineral balancing on its own can make you worse. Plus: the real order of operations for mold and mycotoxin detox, how to survive an environment you can't leave, why bleach multiplies spores, what actually works for hot flashes at night — and whether vaginal estrogen belongs on your face.

In this episode of The Health Revival Show, I dive deep into the often-overlooked issue of bile acid reflux—a condition that can mimic typical acid reflux but is driven by very different mechanisms. I share insights from my clinical experiences and discuss the importance of recognizing the signs that differentiate bile reflux from acid reflux, especially in patients who have had their gallbladders removed. Listeners will learn about the complex interactions between gut health, the vagus nerve, and digestive function. I emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive approach, including identifying underlying infections and addressing vagal tone to restore digestive balance. Tune in for valuable strategies that could change your understanding of digestive health and help you find real answers to your symptoms.

Infections with cyclospora, a parasite that spreads through raw produce and causes severe “explosive” diarrhea, are on the rise in multiple states. Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, Texas and Illinois are among the hardest-hit states by the stomach bug, which usually increases during the warmer months in the United States. What is cyclosporiasis? It’s caused by a parasite and spreads through contaminated fresh produce. The most common symptom of cyclosporiasis is sudden, watery explosive diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, and fatigue.

Lyme disease is surging in 2026 — and the sign everyone watches for, the bullseye rash, shows up in only about 20% of cases. Liz and Becca break down the real numbers (89,000 reported vs. ~476,000 a year), why ticks are now in backyards and school fields, the new Lyme vaccine, exactly what to do the second you find a tick, the removal mistakes that make it worse, why standard testing fails, and how your gut terrain decides your recovery.

Given 12 months to live with stage 4 breast cancer, Laura Lummer is here five years later with a body she says is healed. She joins Liz and Becca to unpack the metabolic terrain approach: why blood sugar, methylation, and chronic stress drive breast cancer even in "healthy" women, the truth about estrogen blockers and informed consent, mammograms vs. thermography, and the emotional work most people skip.

You've been told your labs are "normal" and you still feel awful. Liz and Becca break down the functional medicine tests that actually find the root cause — blood work, stool testing, the Dutch test for cortisol and estrogen, the Total Tox mold panel, food-sensitivity testing, and genetics — plus why "IBS" hides the real problem and how your gut drives anxiety. A test nobody reads is just expensive data.
