When Progesterone Backfires: The Hidden Link Between Hormones, Anxiety & Trauma
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.

Why Progesterone Doesn’t Work for Everyone
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.

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.

The Misogyny of Medicine, Oral Estrogen Edition
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.

Why am I not losing weight?
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! While high protein, virtually no-carb foods like meat and eggs are low on the glycemic index, they measure high on the insulin index.

Does the Whole30 Diet Work?
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.

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?

Stress, On So Many Levels
