Experiencing the postpartum “new normal” that never felt normal? Today’s guest was feeling “off” after baby number three and couldn’t bounce back. After experiencing heavy periods, painful ovulation, hives, asthma, brain fog, poor sleep, and mood swings, she reached out to Hotze Health and Wellness Center to find answers. At the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, Emily’s root causes were uncovered. She was treated for hormone imbalance (low progesterone), food/environmental sensitivities, yeast overgrowth/leaky gut, and Hashimoto’s, along with two suspicious thyroid nodules later confirmed as a non-invasive carcinoma. Join Dr. Hotze and his guest, Emily Stellfox, as they walk through the natural plan that turned everything around. Emily was treated with gluten elimination and a strict GAPS-style reset, targeted probiotics and a yeast cleanse, low-dose progesterone, low-dose immunotherapy for allergies, key vitamins/minerals, and eliminated fluoride. With careful follow-up (thanks to Dr. Ellsworth & Jill), she removed the problematic thyroid lobe, resolved the hives and asthma, normalized cycles, regained energy and sleep, and brought her Hashimoto’s markers to zero! She now rates her health a “10.” Emily’s message to you today is “take charge of your health, fix the gut, balance hormones, and partner with a team that treats causes, not just symptoms.” Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

Could polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) be at the root of your fatigue, irregular cycles, or difficulty conceiving? PCOS affects millions of women, often leading to symptoms such as weight gain, acne, oily skin, excess facial or body hair, hair loss, mood swings, and infertility. Many conventional doctors simply prescribe birth control pills or medications that mask symptoms, while missing the deeper issue.   Dr. Hotze explains that the underlying drivers of PCOS often include insulin resistance and low thyroid function. Both disrupt the ovaries, leading to irregular or absent ovulation, hormonal imbalance, and a cascade of troubling symptoms. Instead of relying on synthetic drugs, a natural approach can restore balance by supporting metabolism with bioidentical thyroid hormone, supplementing progesterone when needed, adopting a ketogenic diet, and making lifestyle changes that improve energy and well-being.   By addressing the root causes rather than covering up symptoms, women with PCOS can experience restored menstrual cycles, improved fertility, clearer skin, more stable moods, and renewed vitality. Natural, bioidentical solutions can make a profound difference in overcoming PCOS and reclaiming energy and enthusiasm for life.   Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.   To receive a FREE copy of Dr. Hotze’s best-selling book, “Hormones, Health, and Happiness,” call 281-698-8698 and mention this podcast.

Can a decades-old drug unlock new possibilities for longevity? Rapamycin, originally discovered in the 1970s on Easter Island, was once used solely as an anti-rejection medication for organ transplants.

In this episode, Bryana Gregory, pharmacist and physician liaison, breaks down the history of rapamycin, the design and findings of the 2024 Pearl Study, and why proper compounding matters for bioavailability and effectiveness. She also explains how this drug works on the mTOR pathway, helping improve cellular function, brain clarity, skin health, and even bone density and lean muscle mass in some patients. If you’re curious about repurposed drugs, longevity, or ways to reduce inflammation naturally, this discussion sheds light on how rapamycin may become an important tool for the future of wellness.

Could your child’s ADHD, fatigue, or delayed growth actually be low thyroid? In this episode, Dr. Steven Hotze reveals why hypothyroidism isn’t just an adult health issue. It can affect children as young as two! He explains how conventional medicine often overlooks thyroid problems by relying too heavily on blood tests and prescribing pharmaceuticals that mask symptoms without addressing the root cause.   Dr. Hotze breaks down how thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, brain function, mood, and overall vitality, and why imbalances can lead to a host of issues, including behavioral changes, poor school performance, menstrual irregularities, and stunted development. He discusses how natural desiccated thyroid, prescribed based on clinical symptoms rather than lab averages, can help restore energy, focus, growth, and quality of life, without resorting to psychotropic drugs or stimulants.   If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, depression, or anxiety, or simply isn’t thriving, there may be an underlying hormonal imbalance.

What if one compound could dramatically reduce allergic reactions, inflammation, and even medication overload for chronically ill individuals? In this episode, pharmacist Bryana Gregory shares the exciting news of a recent publication in the Journal of Independent Medicine spotlighting the repurposed compound Amlexanox. Originally developed to treat mouth ulcers, Amlexanox has shown powerful anti-inflammatory and mast cell-stabilizing effects, making it a promising alternative to steroids and antihistamines, especially for patients suffering from conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), asthma, and autoimmunity.   Bryana highlights the dramatic transformation of a 60-year-old guest at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center. This patient, who previously relied on 81 medications and supplements, experienced a significant reduction in symptoms and a tapering down to just 17 medications after introducing Amlexanox. The compound worked to stabilize immune responses, reduce histamine overload, and ease inflammatory symptoms without the side effects commonly associated with steroids. Its broader effects have also included improved blood sugar, brain fog, neuropathy, and even weight loss. With a growing body of evidence and support from independent physicians, Amlexanox is gaining recognition as a trusted, natural solution worth exploring.   Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

Could hidden parasites be silently draining your energy and causing chronic illness, without your doctor ever suspecting it? Unpack the often-overlooked world of parasites and how they can impact your overall health. Most physicians rarely consider protozoa, worms, or ectoparasites (like fleas, lice, or ticks) when diagnosing persistent issues such as fatigue, gut problems, anemia, or even certain cancers.

Discover the red flags that might point to a parasitic infection, ranging from chronic GI distress to unexplained rashes or low energy, and learn why it’s crucial to test and treat effectively.   Dr. Hotze also discusses alternative approaches, such as repurposed anti-parasitic drugs and natural herbal cleanses that may help rid your body of unwanted invaders.
