From Self-Silencing to Healing: Women's Health, Stress & Weight Gain
In this powerful series finale, Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center, shares a personal story about the humble beginnings of his practice—and then dives deep into a critical but often overlooked topic in medicine: self-silencing in women and how it profoundly impacts health.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How emotional suppression and chronic stress affect weight gain, fertility, autoimmunity, and thyroid function
Why simply telling women to “eat less” or “relax” is not real medicine—and what actually works
The role of intermittent fasting, hormonal support, and therapy in restoring health
How to identify self-silencing behaviors and start healing from the inside out
A discussion of GLP-1s, LDN, cold plunges, testosterone, thyroid labs, and more
A call for modern medicine to return to true, whole-person care
Whether you're a patient, physician, or just curious about the future of compassionate medicine—this one’s for you.
