EP 71. Prolactin: The Multifaceted Hormone.

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

Hola :)In today's episode, I'll explain why you might have high ferritin protein in your blood:1- We'll explain what ferritin is2- High ferritin levels: values greater than or equal to 89 ug/L in women of childbearing age, 212 ug/L in women in menopause, and values greater than or equal to 147 ug/L in men.3- Why "fatty liver" is both a cause and consequence of elevated ferritin and iron accumulation in the liver, leading to increased general and particularly hepatic oxidative stress. 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.

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).
