Hello! Today I'm releasing the second interview in this podcast series where I chat with healthcare professionals to complement the knowledge about hormones and metabolism that I share with you every Saturday on this podcast, aiming to achieve the complete well-being we all deserve.
The second guest is Doctor Enrique Esteve (a colleague from my own medical school, though we didn't know it until we recorded the podcast), a specialist in Internal Medicine, and more specifically in immunology at Hospital Parc Taulí in Sabadell, Barcelona.
In the interview, we discuss, among other things:
-What are the most common immunological alterations associated with fertility problems in men and women?
-Which women and men should consider that the reproductive issues they are experiencing might be due to these immunological alterations you've mentioned, and what would you recommend they do? What basic tests would be advisable for these individuals to request during a consultation?
-What role does thyroid autoimmunity play in the ability to achieve fertilization, even if our thyroid is currently functioning adequately?
-How much truth is there to the concept of gluten and its molecular mimicry as an antigen regarding the incidence of autoimmune diseases?
-What importance do you believe stress and exposure to certain environmental agents have in autoimmune pathologies and fertility problems?
-Is there anything with evidence-based support that can be done to reduce the likelihood of developing autoimmune diseases?
-What 3 pieces of advice would you give us if you knew that literally the entire world population was listening to you right now.
I hope you enjoy this interview, and if you want more information about the magnificent work Enrique does, you can follow him on Instagram @doctor.esteve
As for me, you know you help me a lot if you share and rate the podcast. That way, we can reach more people!
If you have any further questions, I'll be happy to answer them on my Instagram @isabelvina.
A big hug

EP 109. Reflux, indigestion, and omeprazole: what you need to know.
Hellooo :)In this latest episode of the season, we discuss one of the most frequent (and misunderstood) topics in medical consultations: the chronic use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole, as well as H2 blockers like famotidine, often for gastrointestinal issues such as dyspepsia or reflux. But first, I'll explain which cells produce acid, why we need it, and what can happen when we block it for too long. I'll also cover the causes behind symptoms like reflux, dyspepsia, or heavy digestion, and when it makes sense to use PPIs on a short-term or longer-term basis.Additionally, I'll try to review the diagnostic algorithm for different clinical cases (reflux, esophagitis, functional dyspepsia, eosinophilic esophagitis) with you, and we'll discuss situations where dietary supplements or lifestyle adjustments might be helpful.Everything with a clear goal: neither to demonize nor idealize these medications, but to understand well how and when to use them.I hope you enjoy it and, above all, find it very useful :)For more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily content My TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-dfdxLBcvfztBvRAKZSXGQAnd the supplements formulated by me https://ivbwellness.comFor more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily content My TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel YouTube ChannelAnd the supplements formulated by me on my website My Website -

And all the resulting metabolic and hormonal consequences.4- Why autoimmune diseases can lead to elevated ferritin even with iron deficiency.5- Genetic causes of iron and ferritin accumulation: hereditary hemochromatosis.6- Other NON-hereditary causes of hemochromatosis: copper deficiency, alcohol, hepatitis B and C, drugs like isoniazid, or myelodysplastic syndrome.Additionally, we'll learn about lifestyle recommendations for each case and, if necessary, treatments that can improve your condition.I hope you like it :)For more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily content.

EP 99. Lipoprotein(a): The Forgotten Factor in Cardiovascular Health.
Hola :) Thank you so much for being here another day :)In today's episode, I'll talk to you about What lipoprotein(a) is and why it's not the same as traditional cholesterol. How having elevated levels affects your risk of heart attack, heart failure, aortic valve stenosis, or stroke, even if your cholesterol is "perfect." Why it has a strong genetic component and how it's inherited. Why everyone should have their lipoprotein levels measured in their blood at least once in their lifetime. What good levels are (125 nmol/L / 50 mg/dL). What extra tests should be done if your levels are high, in case you have silent repercussions on your health. What can be done if you have high Lp(a) in your daily life, including diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements that can address different pathways involved in cardiovascular risk and that, by controlling it, will mitigate the genetic risk of high Lp(a).
