Complete Transcript: www.skinterrup...
There has been a lot of controversy recently about licorice root and using it in people who have had excessive exposure to steroids. It's my hope that my guest today will clear up some misconceptions.
This conversation isn't meant to tell you whether or not licorice (and other adaptogenic herbs) are appropriate for you. Instead, we're sharing some science behind things so you can make a more educated decision.
My guest today is Dr. Carrie Jones, an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator on the topic of women’s health and hormones.
Dr. Carrie graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), School of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon where she also completed her 2-year residency in women’s health, hormones and endocrinology.
Later, she graduated from Grand Canyon University’s Master of Public Health program with a goal of doing more international education. She was adjunct faculty for many years teaching gynecology and advanced endocrinology/fertility and has been the Medical Director for 2 large integrative clinics in Portland.
Dr. Carrie is the Medical Director for Precision Analytical, Inc, creators of the DUTCH hormone test.

[@LeenaBora]

Jennifer you are extraordinary. Great episode. Very useful and sensible questions by you..and satisfactory answers by Doctor

[@jenfugo]

I'm so glad that you found this helpful! Have you wondered about Licorice root before? Or had concerns about using it?

[@user-lo3pc1iw2t]

I'm sorry but in both of these videos I feel like the most important question or one of the most wasn't asked. If you are using licorice root and have extremely low cortisol levels (burnout), does taking it actually help repair/heal the adrenal glands? In theory, having more cortisol circulating would make the adrenals want to produce less, thereby helping "rest" the burned out adrenals? I wish this was touched on.

[@jenfugo]

The problem isn't that you have broken adrenal glands. The issue is the disruption of the communication loop of the HPA axis. So no, taking licorice doesn't disrupt the loop nor prevent your adrenals from "resting". They aren't tired... they aren't injured. I get the impression from your word choice that you've read a lot about "adrenal fatigue" and the incorrect language often used to describe the issue at hand. Adrenal fatigue isn't real... it's an old concept that has since been replaced by a clearer understanding of the HPA feedback loop. I hope this helps.

[@user-lo3pc1iw2t]

@@jenfugo Ok better question then. Does this help repair the loop disruption?

[@mastakilla_2k218]

So is it a steroid?

[@jenfugo]

No, I'd recommend you actually watch the video and then check out part 2 to better understand this. Everyone who claims it is a steroid is spreading false information
