EP 108. Composición corporal en verano: cómo no perder lo que has ganado.

EP 108. Body composition in summer: how not to lose what you have gained.

Hello!!! In today's podcast, I'll try to share tips you can apply to maintain all the health gains you've made with your lifestyle routine throughout the year. This way, if you wish, you can fully enjoy the summer while minimizing the metabolic and overall health losses that can be associated with typical summer routines, where we can't be as diligent with our exercise, diet, and other lifestyle measures. It's not necessary to apply them all, or all at once. The important thing is to be aware of them so that, if we wish, we can apply them. Ideally all of them, but if not, any you can apply, even for just a couple of days, will always be beneficial. Every little helps. Every stone makes a wall. I hope you like it. Big kisses!!

EP 106: Sin menstruación y sin libido: el coste hormonal del estrés crónico.

EP 106: No Period and No Libido: The Hormonal Cost of Chronic Stress.

Hello :)In today's episode, I try to explain why chronic stress (both mental and physical) can directly affect our reproductive axis and, at the same time, indirectly affect other hormonal axes like the thyroid axis and prolactin, contributing to the worsening of stress-related reproductive symptoms by perpetuating the stress cycle --> lack of adequate GnRH synthesis --> FSH and LH --> regular menstruation, ovulation, testosterone production...I also talk about several supplements that ALWAYS follow lifestyle measures and do not replace them, which are:Stress: magnesium, omega 3, glycine, theanine, reishi, rhodiola, schisandra, ashwagandha, B vitamins like B12, B6, B9...Thyroid function: myo-inositol, CoQ10, selenium, iodine, vitamins B1 and B3..Prolactin: vitex agnus (chasteberry) and magnesiumI hope it's helpful :) a kissFor more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily contentMy 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 contentMy TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel YouTube ChannelAnd the supplements formulated by me on my website My Website

EP 99. Lipoproteína(a): la olvidada de la salud cardiovascular.

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).
