EPISODE SUMMARY
In this groundbreaking lecture, Dr. Kayla Osterhoff breaks down why the female body is still one of the least understood topics in modern medicine. From the massive gender gaps in clinical research to the misunderstood role of hormonal rhythms, this talk challenges nearly every conventional health assumption about women’s physiology. You’ll learn how the female biological rhythm affects everything from metabolism to cognition—and why the missing link in women’s health isn’t just about hormones, but about data, design, and decades of neglect.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
• The Research Gap Is Real—and Deep
Women were banned from clinical research until 1993, and even today remain underrepresented, especially in areas like drug trials, cardiovascular studies, and brain health.
• Bikini Medicine Isn’t Enough
Most “women’s health” research still focuses narrowly on reproductive organs, ignoring how sex hormones impact the brain, immune system, metabolism, and more.
• The Female Biological Rhythm Is NOT 24 Hours
Unlike men, women operate on a ~28-day hormonal rhythm—shifting cognition, metabolism, stress response, and energy throughout four distinct phases.
• Health Advice That Ignores Hormones Can Be Harmful
Popular trends like intermittent fasting or high-intensity training may work well for men but can backfire for women if not timed to their hormonal cycle.
• Personalized, Phase-Based Health Is the Future
Tracking one’s own biological rhythm and learning phase-specific strategies for supplements, sleep, nutrition, and stress is the most empowering step women can take now.

This Gene’s a Real MTHFR—Here’s What It’s Doing to Your Body
This episode unpacks the powerful effects of the MTHFR gene mutation—on your heart, liver, brain, and mood. Learn how this tiny genetic hiccup can impact energy, detox pathways, mental health, and longevity—and what to do if you’ve got it.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Heart Disease Connection – MTHFR mutations elevate homocysteine, increasing risk for arterial inflammation, stroke, and dementia.
- Liver Strain – MTHFR dysfunction contributes to fatty liver and reduces the body’s ability to detox.
- Glutathione Production – The gene impacts your ability to make antioxidants like glutathione and NAC, which protect against oxidative stress.
- Mood & Mental Health – MTHFR affects neurotransmitter production, especially serotonin and dopamine, increasing risk of depression and ADHD.
- You Need Methyl Donors – Supplements like methylfolate, P-5-P, SAMe, and betaine are crucial to bypass genetic bottlenecks and restore methylation function.
FEATURED PRODUCT
Bliss, featuring SAMe and betaine (trimethylglycine), supports healthy methylation by donating methyl groups—essential for mood, energy, and detox. With sublingual delivery for rapid absorption, Bliss is ideal for those with MTHFR mutations needing extra support for neurotransmitter production, glutathione synthesis, and liver detox. A must-have if you struggle with low mood, brain fog, or inflammation.
