Do you have dense breasts? Are mammograms always the best option? How can thermography support breast and whole body health? With so much interest in our recent coverage of thermography, this follow-up conversation dug even deeper into the topic with Patricia Bowden Luccardi, CTT, CNMT, LMT.

We explore the role of thermography as a tool for breast health monitoring, the risks and considerations tied to mammograms, and special concerns for women with dense or fibrocystic breasts. You will gain a deeper understanding of how different screening methods compare and what proactive steps you can take to better support long-term breast health.

Episode 464: Thermography, Mammograms & Dense Breast Tissue with Guest Patricia Luccardi

In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we focus on three key hormones that can significantly impact metabolism: insulin, leptin, and cortisol. Each of these hormones plays an essential role in regulating energy, hunger, and stress, and when imbalances occur, they may be the underlying cause of a metabolic stall or plateau.

The conversation explores how insulin resistance can block fat burn, how leptin resistance can interfere with satiety signals, and how cortisol dysregulation can drive cravings and fat storage. We discuss practical strategies for identifying when these hormones are out of balance, along with food-as-medicine approaches, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to help restore harmony and support optimal metabolic function.

Episode 460: 5 Keto Myths & Why You Need a Keto Reset

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on insulin—an often overlooked but crucial hormone that plays a central role in metabolism and overall health. While blood sugar gets a lot of attention, insulin is the key regulator behind it, influencing energy storage, fat metabolism, and cellular function. We explore how insulin resistance develops, the early signs to watch for, and why it’s so important to address this root issue to prevent chronic disease.

We also discuss how ketogenic and low-carb diets can help regulate insulin levels, improve metabolic flexibility, and support weight management. This episode provides clear, functional insights into insulin’s role and practical strategies for balancing it through nutrition and lifestyle, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in metabolic health and disease prevention.

Episode 459: Why Insulin Matters

In this episode, we explore the vital role of the liver in overall metabolic health and why fatty liver disease has become increasingly common. We dive into the liver’s many functions, including detoxification, fat metabolism, and hormone regulation, highlighting how disruption in these processes contributes to fat accumulation in the liver. Understanding the root causes—from diet and lifestyle factors to environmental toxins and insulin resistance—is key to addressing this growing health concern.

We also focus on actionable, food-as-medicine strategies to support liver function and promote reversal of fatty liver disease. Listeners will learn about key nutrients, dietary patterns, and lifestyle habits that nourish the liver, reduce inflammation, and improve metabolic flexibility. Plus we discuss how a ketogenic approach can literally reverse fatty liver, supplemental support and favorite recipes to support liver health!

Episode 458: A Functional Approach to Fatty Liver

Often referred to as a “Goldilocks” mineral, iodine must be kept in balance—too little can lead to fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance, while too much can exacerbate autoimmunity and disrupt delicate nutrient interplay. In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at iodine’s role in thyroid health, fertility, immune function, breast tissue, and detoxification. We unpack symptoms of both deficiency and excess, explore the connection between iodine and environmental exposures like fluoride, chlorine, and brominated flour, and discuss important considerations for those with Hashimoto’s or other autoimmune conditions.

You'll also learn how to assess iodine status through testing, the validity of iodine painting, and the risks and benefits of different supplementation approaches. We highlight topical uses—from wound care and nasal rinses to support for fibrocystic breasts—as well as dietary sources like sea vegetables and seafood. The conversation includes a breakdown of iodized salt, the iodine-selenium relationship, and how to use iodine safely and effectively in your wellness routine.
