Women and Hormones with Elaina Mango & Gabrielle Foppe, PA
What if your blood work says your hormones are “normal,” but you still don’t feel like yourself? Hormonal imbalances can affect women at many stages of life, not just during menopause. Changes in estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, testosterone, and other hormones can influence energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, cognition, weight, libido, and overall well-being. Symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, irregular cycles, hot flashes, insomnia, and painful periods may be signs that your hormones are out of balance. In this episode, Elaina Mango talks with Gabrielle Foppe, PA, about the differences between perimenopause and menopause, why symptoms matter, and the role hormones play throughout a woman’s life. They also discuss concerns surrounding hormone replacement therapy and explain the Hotze Health & Wellness Center’s approach using bioidentical hormones that are customized to each woman’s individual needs. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, their approach considers how hormones work together and uses comprehensive blood work and clinical symptoms to help restore hormonal balance. You don’t have to accept feeling tired, irritable, foggy, or unlike yourself as a normal part of being a woman or getting older. Understanding your hormones and recognizing the signs of imbalance can help you make more informed decisions about your health and explore options designed to help you feel your best again.

Antihistamines for MCAS with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh
Antihistamines for MCAS with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh Why might someone with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) need more than one antihistamine to manage their symptoms? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how histamine functions in the body and why maintaining proper histamine balance is essential for overall health. She discusses how excess histamine can contribute to symptoms such as hives, itching, digestive discomfort, food sensitivities, respiratory issues, and heart palpitations. Bryana also explains the differences between H1 and H2 antihistamines and why targeting different histamine receptors may provide more comprehensive symptom relief. The discussion explores how various antihistamines work, including the differences between first-generation and second-generation medications, their potential sedating effects, and how treatment can be tailored to an individual's symptoms and lifestyle. Bryana explains why compounded antihistamines may be particularly beneficial for individuals with MCAS. She also discusses how customized strengths and slow-release formulations may help patients better tolerate their medications while addressing histamine-related symptoms. Throughout the episode, Bryana emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment.

Microdosing GLP1s with Dr. Donald Ellsworth
What if GLP-1s could offer benefits beyond weight loss? In this episode, Dr. Ellsworth joins Elaina Mango to explore a different approach to GLP-1 medications by microdosing them to support overall health and longevity. Dr. Ellsworth explains how GLP-1 and GIP compounds interact with receptors throughout the body and discusses emerging research surrounding several common health issues. He also explains why using doses below standard weight-loss levels may provide potential wellness benefits while reducing common dose-related side effects. Dr. Ellsworth also discusses promising areas of ongoing research. While research specifically examining microdosing is still developing, he explains why these compounds may become another tool for individuals who are already prioritizing healthy eating, exercise, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle habits. The conversation also covers who may not be a candidate for GLP-1s, the importance of working with a qualified healthcare provider and reputable compounding pharmacy, and why individual needs should guide treatment decisions. When used correctly with a healthy lifestyle, this is a promising tool for longevity. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

Eating for Good Health with Gabrielle Foppe, PA
What if the food you eat every day is doing more than simply satisfying your hunger? In this episode, Elaina Mango is joined by Gabrielle Foppe, Physician Assistant at Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to discuss how nutrition can influence energy, metabolism, gut health, blood sugar, inflammation, and overall wellness. Gabrielle explains why shifting the focus from convenience and short-term gratification toward real, whole foods can help provide the body with the nutrients it needs to function at its best. They also discuss the challenges of the standard American diet, including highly processed foods, added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and artificial ingredients, along with practical ways to make healthier choices. Gabrielle shares tips for grocery shopping, reading ingredient labels, prioritizing protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and fiber, and making gradual changes that are easier to maintain. The conversation also explores different approaches to healthy eating, and the importance of creating long-term habits rather than relying on restrictive diets or quick fixes. Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean perfection. Small, consistent choices can help support long-term health, while cooking at home and making healthier foods part of everyday family life can create habits that last for generations. At Hotze Health & Wellness Center, a healthy eating lifestyle is considered an important part of supporting overall wellness and helping guests take a more proactive approach to their health.

What happens to your gut after a serious infection, multiple rounds of antibiotics, and major surgery? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to share Elaina’s recent health journey and the steps she took to restore her gut health. What began as sudden, severe abdominal pain during a vacation in Curaçao was eventually diagnosed as a ruptured appendix that had gone untreated for six days, leading to a serious infection, repeated hospitalizations, extensive antibiotic treatment, and ultimately emergency surgery. After returning home, Elaina explains that removing the appendix and treating the infection were only the beginning of her recovery. She worked with her healthcare team to address the effects of multiple rounds of antibiotics. Her treatment plan included nitazoxanide, which Elaina describes as the turning point that helped her feel dramatically better within just a few days. Bryana and Elaina discuss why restoring the gut can require a multifaceted and individualized approach, particularly after intensive antibiotic treatment.

Low Testosterone in Women with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh
Could low testosterone be affecting your energy, mood, strength, or sex drive? Testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, but women rely on it too. In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains the important role testosterone plays in women’s health and the symptoms that may indicate testosterone levels are no longer optimized. Bryana discusses why evaluating testosterone deficiency requires more than simply looking at a lab number. Symptoms, bloodwork, hormone availability, and the individual clinical picture all matter. She also explains how sublingual bioidentical testosterone is absorbed, why physiological dosing is important, and how properly tailored therapy is designed to restore testosterone levels without causing unwanted side effects. Learn why testosterone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and how working with a knowledgeable physician and pharmacy can help women find the appropriate dose and method of treatment for their individual needs.

Testosterone Dosage Forms for Men with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh
Testosterone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how testosterone therapy can be customized for men based on their symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and individual response to treatment. She also discusses signs that may be associated with low testosterone. Bryana compares three testosterone dosage forms: compounded sublingual tablets, compounded slow-release oral capsules, and commercially available injectable testosterone. She explains the advantages and considerations of each, including differences in absorption, dosing frequency, convenience, gastrointestinal health, and administration. From the rapid absorption of a sublingual tablet to the familiar routine of an oral capsule or the less frequent dosing of an injection, the goal is to find an option that fits each individual’s needs and lifestyle. Bryana also discusses the importance of proper dosing and ongoing monitoring during testosterone therapy. Symptoms, blood work, hormone conversion, and overall response should all be considered when determining whether treatment is appropriately balanced. Learn why personalized testosterone therapy and collaboration between the patient, physician, and pharmacist can help men find an approach that works best for them.

The Book That Restored Her Health with Guest Sarah Shah
What happens when you stop accepting symptoms as something you simply have to live with and start taking a more active role in your health? In this episode, Dr. Hotze sits down with Sarah Shaw, who shares how reading Hormones, Health, and Happiness nearly 20 years ago changed the way she approached her health. At the time, Sarah was struggling with severe fatigue, brain fog, itching, recurring fungal infections, and intense sugar cravings. After recognizing her symptoms in Dr. Hotze’s book, she began following a yeast-free eating program focused on eliminating sugar and simple carbohydrates. She says her symptoms began improving within the first 30 days. Sarah explains how that experience encouraged her to become what Dr. Hotze calls her own “health contractor.” Over the years, she experimented with different approaches to determine what worked best for her body, including eliminating foods she felt were contributing to her symptoms and using tools such as a continuous glucose monitor to understand her response to certain foods better. She also shares how removing gluten and pasteurized dairy from her diet helped her address significant joint discomfort and regain the ability to stay active. Dr. Hotze and Sarah also discuss the importance of continually educating yourself about your health. Sarah’s message is simple: you do not have to change everything at once. Start somewhere, pay attention to how your body responds, and continue making choices that move you toward better health. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

How to Cure Candida – Medication and Lifestyle Changes that Work with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh
Could yeast overgrowth be contributing to symptoms like brain fog, bloating, fatigue, or persistent sugar cravings? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains the purpose behind the yeast-free eating program and why addressing gut health is an important part of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center’s approach to wellness. She discusses how Candida naturally exists throughout the body but may become problematic when it overgrows, potentially contributing to digestive issues, recurrent yeast infections, oral thrush, skin concerns, headaches, fatigue, and brain fog. Bryana explores factors that may contribute to yeast overgrowth and discusses the relationship between gut health and food sensitivities. It is important to repair the gut before moving forward with other therapies. The yeast-free eating program focuses on temporarily eliminating foods that contain or feed yeast, while emphasizing whole foods. The episode also explains how dietary changes may be combined with prescription antifungal therapy. Bryana emphasizes that the program is intended to address yeast overgrowth in a structured way rather than serve as a permanently restrictive diet. After completing the program, guests gradually reintroduce foods while continuing to support a healthier gut environment. The goal is to reduce symptoms such as bloating and brain fog, support energy and immune function, and create a healthier foundation for the body’s response to other wellness therapies.

Hormone Therapy for Men – More Than Testosterone with Gabrielle Foppe, PA
It’s not just about testosterone! Low testosterone isn’t the only hormone men should be concerned about. In this episode, Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, is joined by Physician Assistant Gabrielle Foppe to discuss why optimal men's health requires much more than simply treating testosterone levels. They explain how symptoms are often dismissed as normal aging when they may actually be signs of underlying hormone imbalances. They emphasize that thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, and overall metabolic health all play important roles in a man's energy, mental clarity, and long-term wellness. The conversation also explores why many men delay seeking help due to social stigma and the belief that they should "push through" their symptoms. Elaina and Gabrielle explain the difference between gradual hormone decline in men, often referred to as andropause, and menopause in women. The episode also addresses concerns surrounding low testosterone clinics, highlighting the importance of physician oversight and avoiding excessive testosterone use that may lead to unwanted side effects. Finally, Elaina and Gabrielle encourage both men and their spouses to recognize the signs of hormone imbalance early and seek a personalized approach to restoring long-term health and wellness.

How to Heal Your Gut in 90 Days with Gabrielle Foppe, PA-C
Can improving your gut health transform your overall health? In this episode, Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, is joined by Physician Assistant Gabrielle Foppe to introduce the center's new 90-Day Gut Repair Therapy Program. They explain why optimal health begins in the digestive system and discuss how poor gut health can contribute to far more than digestive discomfort. Rather than simply masking symptoms, they emphasize identifying and addressing the underlying causes through a structured, natural approach. Elaina and Gabrielle outline the three-step approach to gut repair: first eliminating unwanted yeast and harmful microbes, then restoring healthy gut bacteria, and finally supporting long-term healing through nutrition and lifestyle changes. They also discuss why simply taking an over-the-counter probiotic is often not enough to fully restore gut health. The 90-day telehealth program includes comprehensive lab work, medical oversight, prescription medications when appropriate, nutritional guidance, pharmacist consultations, supplements, and a structured eating program designed to support gut healing. View gut health as the foundation for long-term wellness to restore digestive health and improve your overall quality of life. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

In this episode, Bryana Burken, pharmacist and physician liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to discuss common misconceptions about parasites, how exposure can happen in everyday life, and why these infections may be more common than many people realize. Bryana and Elaina explain how parasites can be acquired through pets, food, travel, standing water, and environmental exposure, not just poor sanitation. They discuss the wide range of symptoms parasites may cause, and explore why parasite testing can be challenging, why false negatives are common, and how providers often rely on a combination of clinical symptoms, medical history, and treatment response when evaluating possible parasitic infections.

Benefits of Estrogen Balancing for Healthspan with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh

The conversation explores the difference between estrogen dominance and estrogen deficiency, common symptoms, and how environmental toxins and modern lifestyle factors can disrupt healthy hormone balance. Bryana and Elaina also discuss the importance of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, why it differs from synthetic hormones, and why treating symptoms without addressing the underlying hormonal imbalance often leaves women searching for answers.
