Ep 100 - America's Hormone Problem: The Real Reason You're Out of Control

Ep 101- Why Your Gut Test IS Lying to You (And What to Do About It)

EPISODE 101: Why Your Gut Test Is Lying To You (And What You Should Do About It) Have you done every gut test imaginable, tried every supplement, eliminated foods, followed protocols… and still feel exhausted, bloated, inflamed, or stuck? In this episode of The Longevity Lounge, Dr. Cherine and Dr. Mike break down one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to heal their gut and optimize their health: relying too heavily on testing without understanding the bigger picture. Your body is not static — it’s dynamic. And gut tests are only snapshots in time. If you’re testing during stress, poor sleep, burnout, inflammation, detox overload, hormone imbalance, or nervous system dysregulation, your results may not be telling the full story. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why “more testing” doesn’t always equal better answers • How gut symptoms can actually stem from hormones, stress, sleep, or nervous system dysfunction • The hidden dangers of over-supplementing and aggressive detox protocols • Why timing and “readiness” matter before starting gut healing protocols • The foundational health habits most people skip • How to identify patterns instead of chasing symptoms • Why bloating, fatigue, anxiety, constipation, and brain fog are often connected • The importance of nervous system regulation before deep healing begins • Real patient stories that show how simple foundational changes can create massive breakthroughs Dr. Cherine also shares practical insights on: ✔ Gut-brain connection ✔ Detox readiness ✔ Sleep and bowel movement importance ✔ Magnesium and mineral deficiencies ✔ Why restrictive diets sometimes make things worse ✔ How to approach healing strategically instead of chaotically TESTS & PRODUCTS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: 🧪 Metabolomix+ Test (Designs for Health) https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/cherinevanwagner/products/metabolomics-spotlight#MBTEST 🧪 GI Spotlight Test (Designs for Health) https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/cherinevanwagner/products/gi-spotlight#GITEST 💊 Magnesium Glycinate + Supplements Discussed https://primalcomplete.co Use code: CHERINE10 for 10% off If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of symptom chasing, supplement overload, or confusing test results, this episode will help you simplify your approach and start listening to what your body is actually telling you.

You Don’t Need Another Diet—You Need This Detox Stack First

You Don’t Need Another Diet… You Need THIS Detox Stack First | Longevity Lounge Ep. 99 If you’ve been dieting, eating clean, and still feel tired, inflamed, or stuck… this is the episode you need to hear. In Episode 99 of the Longevity Lounge Podcast, Dr. Cherine breaks down the truth about detox—and why it has nothing to do with juice cleanses, teas, or quick fixes. Real detox is happening in your body every single day. But if your detox pathways are overloaded and under-supported, no diet, supplement, or bio hack will give you the results you’re looking for. Before you push harder, you need to support smarter. 🔑 What You’ll Learn: Why detox is NOT a trend (and what it actually means) The biggest mistake people make before starting a diet How toxins, stress, and modern life overwhelm your body Why you feel tired, inflamed, foggy, or “off” The difference between pushing your body vs. supporting it The Detox & Cellular Protection Stack explained How glutathione protects your cells and supports longevity Why NAC + glycine are essential for detox pathways How sulforaphane activates your body’s natural defense systems The role of alpha lipoic acid in mitochondrial health Practical steps to support detox naturally (without extremes) 🧠 Key Takeaway: Before you chase weight loss, performance, or advanced protocols… you need to support your body’s ability to detox, repair, and protect itself. That’s where real results begin. 💊 Recommended Supplements & Support: 👉 Shop high-quality supplements, protein powder, and greens: https://primalcomplete.co Use code CHERINE10 for 10% off your order 👉 Professional-grade supplements: https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/cherinevanwagner/ 🔗 Helpful Links and Resources: ✨ Shop Primal Complete Protein – Fuel your body with our premium, scientifically-formulated protein powders. 👉 Shop Here: https://drcherine.myshopify.com/ ✨ Visit Dr. Cherine’s Virtual Dispensary – Explore our curated selection of professional-grade supplements. 👉 Access the Dispensary: https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/cherinevanwagner ✨ Join The Ultimate 30 Day Fitness Challenge – Meal plans, daily workouts, motivation, and a thriving community to support your journey. 👉 Get Started Here: https://cf.drcherine.com/optin1709306163311 🧪Want to stop guessing and start testing?

Most Supplements Don’t Work… Until You Fix This Foundation

Most Supplements Don’t Work… Until You Fix THIS Foundation | Longevity Lounge Podcast Episode 98 Are your supplements actually working… or are you missing the foundation your body needs first? In this episode of the Longevity Lounge Podcast, Dr. Cherine breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in health and longevity: why most supplements fail—and what you must fix first to see real results. If you’ve been taking vitamins but still feel tired, inflamed, foggy, or not quite yourself, this episode will change how you think about nutrition, supplementation, and your body’s true needs. We dive into the foundational supplement stack—the essential nutrients your body relies on for energy, metabolism, immune balance, and long-term resilience. 🔑 What You’ll Learn: Why supplements don’t work without the right foundation The difference between surviving vs. thriving at a cellular level The 4 essential nutrients most people are deficient in How omega-3s impact brain, inflammation, and metabolism Why vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin Magnesium’s role in stress, sleep, and energy production The truth about multivitamins and nutrient gaps Why diet alone often isn’t enough How to improve absorption and actually get results 🧠 Key Takeaway: You don’t need more supplements—you need the right foundation. When your body has the basic nutrients it needs, everything works better: energy, sleep, mood, recovery, and long-term health. 💊 Recommended Products: 👉 Shop high-quality supplements here: https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/cherinevanwagner/ 👉 Get your magnesium (and more) here: https://primalcomplete.co Use code CHERINE10 for 10% off your order 🔗 Helpful Links and Resources: ✨ Shop Primal Complete Protein – Fuel your body with our premium, scientifically-formulated protein powders. 👉 Shop Here: https://drcherine.myshopify.com/ ✨ Visit Dr. Cherine’s Virtual Dispensary – Explore our curated selection of professional-grade supplements. 👉 Access the Dispensary: https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/cherinevanwagner ✨ Join The Ultimate 30 Day Fitness Challenge – Meal plans, daily workouts, motivation, and a thriving community to support your journey. 👉 Get Started Here: https://cf.drcherine.com/optin1709306163311 🧪Want to stop guessing and start testing?
