Methylated B Vitamins with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh

Are you exhausted even though your lab work looks “normal”? Or are you taking B vitamins but not actually feeling the benefits? Bryana Gregory, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, breaks down the powerful role of methylated B vitamins and why the form you take truly matters. B vitamins are essential for energy production, brain function, mood balance, detoxification, and proper nervous system support. However, not all B vitamins are created equal. Genetics, gut health, medication use, stress, and environmental toxicity can all impact your ability to properly absorb and utilize standard or synthetic forms like folic acid or cyanocobalamin. When the body cannot properly methylate (or activate) these vitamins, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, headaches, neuropathy, mood changes, and poor focus may persist. Join Bryana today as she explains how methylated B vitamins provide a more bioavailable, active form that supports detoxification, cellular energy, and healthy gene function. She also highlights the advantages of sublingual delivery, which allows for improved absorption and lower dosing by bypassing the digestive tract. If you struggle with low energy, poor concentration, high stress, neurological symptoms, or known B12 or folate deficiencies, this episode will help you understand whether methylated B vitamins may be right for you.

The Truth About GLP-1 for Weight loss & Why We Don’t Recommend

Why are most Americans struggling with weight gain, obesity, and the serious health problems that follow? Dr. Hotze explains how being overweight has become one of the most widespread health issues in the United States, contributing to diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, and more. He explores why these numbers have risen so dramatically over the past several decades and why this trend is largely unique to America. Dr. Hotze discusses two major drivers behind weight gain: a slowed metabolism due to impaired thyroid function and the overconsumption of processed, high-carbohydrate foods. He explains how fluoride exposure can interfere with thyroid hormone activation, reducing metabolism and energy production, while excess sugar and simple carbohydrates drive insulin resistance and fat storage. The conversation also addresses the growing use of GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide, outlining how they work, why they produce rapid weight loss, and the potential risks associated with muscle loss, digestive complications, and long-term health consequences. This episode emphasizes that lasting weight loss is not achieved through quick fixes or expensive medications, but through sustainable lifestyle changes. Dr. Hotze shares real-life success stories and explains how adopting a clean, whole-food eating plan, restoring metabolic balance, and committing to long-term habits can lead to profound improvements in health, energy, and vitality. The message is clear: taking charge of your health naturally can transform not only your weight, but your overall quality of life.

A Decade of Wellness with Guest Bekki Andrews

What does it really look like to take charge of your health and sustain it for an entire decade? In this episode, Dr. Hotze sits down with Bekki Andrews to reflect on her 10-year health journey after first coming to the Hotze Health and Wellness Center. Bekki shares what led her to seek help, how her health challenges were affecting not only her body but also her mindset and professional life, and why she ultimately chose a long-term solution over temporary fixes. Bekki explains how committing to a structured, natural health program transformed her life. Through disciplined eating, lifestyle changes, and addressing underlying hormonal and metabolic imbalances, she experienced significant and lasting weight loss, renewed energy, and improved confidence. She emphasizes that this was not a short-term diet, but a complete lifestyle shift rooted in consistency, accountability, and personal responsibility. Over time, these changes allowed her to regain control of her health, sharpen her focus, and continue thriving in her demanding career well into her 70s. This conversation highlights that sustainable health is achieved through informed choices, commitment, and a willingness to change habits for the long term. Bekki’s story serves as a powerful reminder that when physical health improves, emotional clarity, productivity, and purpose often follow. True wellness is not about quick fixes, but about embracing a path that supports lasting vitality, independence, and enthusiasm for life.

Cortisol Hormone Replenishment & Stress with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh

Could low cortisol be the hidden reason behind chronic fatigue, poor stress tolerance, sleep disruptions, or mood changes? Cortisol is often misunderstood as just a “stress hormone,” but it plays a critical role in regulating energy levels, emotional resilience, inflammation, and the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. When cortisol production becomes depleted due to prolonged stress, illness, or trauma, the body may struggle to function optimally, leading to symptoms commonly associated with adrenal insufficiency. Join us today as Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison at Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how compounded oral cortisol can be used as a personalized hormone replacement option to support adrenal function. She walks through how cortisol naturally follows a diurnal rhythm, why low levels can disrupt sleep and energy, and how carefully dosed replacement may help restore balance. The discussion also highlights how compounded formulations allow for individualized dosing, cleaner ingredients, and delivery methods that better mimic the body’s natural cortisol patterns. Listeners will gain insight into who may benefit from cortisol replacement, how it differs from adrenal supplements, and why more is not always better when it comes to hormone therapy. This episode emphasizes the importance of working closely with a knowledgeable physician to address symptoms, monitor response, and create a customized approach that supports long-term wellness, resilience, and overall quality of life.

The Body Reboot Program: Cleanse Your Gut, Reset Your Health

Struggling with cravings, bloating, or stubborn weight gain? Today, Elaina Mango from the Hotze Health and Wellness Center is joined by James Bittick, Director of Physicians Preference Vitamins, to discuss the Body Reboot program and why gut health is the foundation for sustainable weight loss, energy, and overall wellness. They explain how symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, brain fog, cravings, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain are often signs of yeast overgrowth and poor gut health, commonly caused by a high-sugar diet and frequent antibiotic use. The discussion highlights why weight loss and gut cleansing must be done together, since proper digestion and nutrient absorption are essential for long-term results. Elaina and James walk us through the structure of the Body Reboot program, which includes a free email series filled with education, recipes, motivation, and access to a supportive Facebook community. They also explain how the Body Reboot Pack supports the process by helping curb cravings, support metabolism, cleanse yeast, rebuild the gut microbiome, and promote satiety using physician-recommended, natural supplements. They also emphasize practical preparation tips such as cleaning out the pantry, portion control, avoiding sugars (including fruit) during the initial phase, navigating restaurants successfully, and building a supportive home environment. The ultimate goal is not temporary dieting, but creating sustainable habits that lead to long-term health improvements, lasting weight loss and a lifetime of overall health.
