Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! Are you experiencing mood swings, bloating, fatigue, or irritability and wondering if it's PMS — or something more? In this video, I break down the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and how to identify it accurately. As a hormone replacement specialist, I’ll explain how your hormones fluctuate during your cycle, what causes PMS, and how it can be managed effectively. Next episode we will also explore treatment options, including natural remedies, lifestyle changes, and when hormone therapy might be the right solution for you.
Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he’s been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
