The Brain-Hormone Conversation

The Brain-Hormone Conversation Estrogen, Progesterone, Thyroid, the Estrobolome, and the Woman in the Middle of It All If your labs are normal but your brain is anything but, this episode is for you. Dr. Alison goes deep on the hormone-brain connection in Episode 3 of the May brain health series. Estrogen as a brain hormone. Progesterone as the brain’s calming hormone through allopregnanolone and the GABA system. Thyroid as the metabolic gas pedal, and why standard TSH testing misses most of the picture. And the estrobolome, the gut microbiome system that actively recycles and regulates your estrogen from inside your intestines. Includes the labs to actually ask for, why bioidentical progesterone is not the same as synthetic progestins, and why perimenopausal brain symptoms often start years before cycles change. Topics covered: estradiol and neurotransmitters, perimenopausal brain imaging, glucose regulation in the brain, progesterone and allopregnanolone, GABA, bioidentical hormone replacement, full thyroid panels, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the estrobolome, beta-glucuronidase, gut-hormone axis, DUTCH testing. The Mama Brain Reset Doors close Sunday May 24 at midnight. The 30-day root cause program for the perimenopausal brain, the post-viral brain, and the woman whose mind has gone quiet.

Long COVID and the Brain What Post-Viral Inflammation Taught Me About Getting My Mind Back

If you have not been yourself since a virus, this episode is for you. Dr. Alison goes deep on the post-viral brain in Episode 2 of the May brain health series. Long COVID, EBV reactivation, mast cell activation, POTS, and the neuroinflammation that ties them all together. Includes the full personal story arc Dr. Alison previewed in Episode 1, from EBV in high school through the February 2026 long-hauler symptoms that hit three weeks after a COVID infection. Plus the labs to actually order, the protocols she uses with her patients and herself, and the research that finally validates what women in chronic illness communities have been saying for decades. Topics covered: microglial activation, blood-brain barrier disruption, autonomic dysfunction, mast cell activation syndrome, EBV reactivation patterns, post-viral thyroiditis, the DUTCH test, monolaurin and other antivirals, methylation support, the nicotine patch protocol, and the difference between productive rest and real rest.

Mothers Brain : Why You’re Losing Your Words, Your Focus, and Yourself in the Fog

If you are losing your words, walking into rooms and forgetting why, or feeling like the woman you used to be has gone quiet, this episode is for you. Dr. Alison kicks off a four-part May series on brain health by breaking down the five root cause drivers of brain fog in midlife women: hormones, infections, sleep, mood, and insulin. You will learn why “mom brain” is a dismissal, not a diagnosis, and why your normal labs may not be telling you the full story. Includes evidence-based citations on perimenopausal brain imaging, the glymphatic system, and the post-viral cognitive landscape, plus a brief look into Dr. Alison’s own post-viral journey. Topics covered: perimenopause and the brain, estrogen and neurotransmitters, full thyroid panels, Epstein Barr Virus reactivation, long COVID, the glymphatic system, sleep architecture, the inflammatory hypothesis of depression, insulin resistance and cognition. A foundational episode that sets up the rest of the May series. Subscribe to the series Episode 2: Long COVID and the Brain (drops May 11). Episode 3: The Brain-Hormone Conversation (drops May 18). Episode 4: The Forgotten Brain Foundations (drops May 25). Find Dr. Alison littleblackbagmedicine.com | Functional medicine consultations and ongoing care for women in midlife.
