Is your inflammation out of control, but meds make you worse? In this episode of The Health Revival Show, Liz and Becca break down the science, benefits, and real-life impact of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)—a gentle, affordable pharmaceutical that’s helping thousands manage autoimmune disease, chronic pain, mood disorders, hormone imbalances, and more. They unpack how LDN modulates the immune system (not suppresses it), supports endorphin production, and reduces inflammatory cytokines without the harsh side effects of traditional meds. If you’ve been struggling with Hashimoto’s, endo, Crohn’s, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or even post-COVID symptoms, this therapy might be the tool you didn’t know you needed. *** 🙋🏻‍♀️ Have a question you want us to answer live? ⁠⁠⁠ASK HERE⁠⁠⁠ *** Looking for high quality, therapeutic grade supplements?

Most women are never told they even have testosterone, let alone that it’s one of their most abundant and essential hormones. In this episode, Liz and Becca share their personal stories and clinical experience on female testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)—what it is, how it works, and why so many women are walking around low energy, low libido, and low mood without ever being told it’s hormonal. They break down the root causes of low T in women—birth control, chronic dieting, stress, environmental toxins—and what labs, symptoms, and lifestyle factors to consider before starting HRT. You’ll also learn the difference between injections, creams, and pellets, why “normal” labs are failing women, and how optimizing testosterone can change your mood, metabolism, relationships, and quality of life. *** 🙋🏻‍♀️ Have a question you want us to answer live? ⁠⁠ASK HERE⁠⁠ *** Looking for high quality, therapeutic grade supplements?

In this eye-opening episode, Liz and Becca break down the critical connection between your liver, gallbladder, and hormone shifts during perimenopause. They reveal why symptoms like bloating, constipation, right-side pain, and sluggish digestion often aren’t just random—they’re rooted in liver overload and bile dysfunction driven by fluctuating estrogen levels. You’ll learn how hormonal changes impact your liver and gallbladder, what gallbladder attacks are really telling you, why sluggish bile leads to toxic buildup, and how to support your body through perimenopause, postpartum, or coming off birth control. If you’ve been told to “just remove your gallbladder” or think your gut issues are “normal aging,” this episode will change the way you view your symptoms—and show you how to support true root cause healing. *** 🙋🏻‍♀️ Have a question you want us to answer live? ⁠ASK HERE⁠ *** Looking for high quality, therapeutic grade supplements?
