Dr. Hotze's Wellness Revolution

Why is estrogen about so much more than reproductive health? 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 estrogen’s vital role in overall wellness, healthy aging, fertility, brain function, skin health, and longevity. Together, they explain why hormonal balance is essential throughout every stage of a woman’s life, from puberty and childbearing years to perimenopause and menopause.
 
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.
 
Most importantly, they encourage women to advocate for themselves, seek providers who listen to their symptoms, and understand that feeling unwell should never be accepted as a normal part of aging.

Healthy skin starts with calming inflammation and supporting your skin barrier! In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Bailie Muñoz, Licensed Esthetician at Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to discuss their compounded Healthy Skin Cream.

What would you do if your child was exhausted, struggling with brain fog, unable to eat normally, and being told it was all in her head? In this powerful episode, Dr. Hotze speaks with Roxanne O’Hara, whose three daughters traveled from Washington State to Hotze Health & Wellness Center after years of unresolved health challenges.

Roxanne shares how her daughter’s health declined as a teenager, leaving her fatigued, underweight, unable to function after meals, struggling with gastrointestinal issues, food sensitivities, brain fog, and absent menstrual cycles. After seeing multiple conventional physicians, specialists, and natural practitioners without finding answers, Roxanne was introduced to Dr. Hotze’s book, “Hormones, Health, and Happiness,” which gave her hope that there was a root-cause approach worth pursuing.

Dr. Hotze and Roxanne discuss how addressing thyroid function, hormonal imbalance, food allergies, nutrition, and overall wellness helped her daughters regain their health and vitality. Roxanne shares how her daughter went from being in bed most of the day to graduating from college and beginning her RN program, and how her other daughters also found answers through a natural, individualized approach.

Could your thyroid be affecting far more than you realize? In this fascinating episode, Dr. Hotze sits down with thyroid specialist and ENT physician Dr. Dana Gibbs to discuss how understanding thyroid health transformed both of their medical practices and personal lives.

Dr. Gibbs shares her own journey of struggling for years with fatigue, irregular periods, low energy, hair loss, and other symptoms despite being told her thyroid tests were normal. After attending one of Dr. Hotze’s lectures on thyroid health, she began to recognize many of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism in herself. She discusses how starting natural desiccated thyroid hormone therapy dramatically improved her health and ultimately changed the direction of her medical career.

Together, Dr. Hotze and Dr. Gibbs explore the limitations of relying solely on laboratory testing, the importance of evaluating symptoms and clinical presentation, and the role thyroid hormones play in metabolism, energy production, mental clarity, hormonal balance, and overall well-being. They also discuss how addressing underlying thyroid dysfunction has helped many individuals improve their health, regain vitality, and in some cases even overcome fertility challenges.
