Recording another episode Saturday with NYC-based medical illustrator and almost-endocrinologist, Dr. Mike Natter. 

Give me your hormone questions! Insulin! Diabetes! Sex hormones! Your shitty thyroid! Let's talk endocrinology. 

**Also** you have all been so wonderful to support Ologies and this very rad  group of patrons is growing, so now Patrons are the only folks who get to submit questions. I'm into this change. Y'all are the real MVPs.

I know hormones are important, but why will your thyroid just up and ruin your life?

John Worster

What advantage would an athlete gain by taking Human Growth Hormones, and what harm, if any will it do to them?

Phoebe Fraser

I cut meat a couple years ago and subsequently eat some protein substitutes that mimic meat (mycoprotein-based and soy-based mostly). There’s a lot of talk about endocrine disrupters in our foods (GMOs, soy, etc); how worried should I be about this?

Al Martinez

What is the latest on stem cell research in helping find a cure for diabetes?

Lexi C

Do you (the expert) have a favorite hormone/molecule?

Christa Avampato

What's the most commonly believed myth about hormones?

Christa Avampato

A few of my older relatives are at the point where they have to make a decision about hormone replacement therapy. What are the positives and negatives of having this kind of treatment? How should someone decide which path is the right one for them?

Mary Ann

Why does birth control work great for lots of people but for some unlucky people like me it causes depression and anxiety. Is this something scientists are working on?

Mike Ramsey

As I've gotten older, I've become acutely aware of my slowing metabolism. Of all the things that are suggested as possibly helping to rev up metabolism for folks in mid-life, which options can provide the biggest bang for our buck?

Mike Ramsey

Forgot to mention, congrats on the success of the show in general, and on the Patreon thing taking off! Ologies is every bit as cool as its creator. 🙂

Casey Handmer

Hormones affect brain function, and the brain can help regulate certain hormones. Who is driving this crazy train, and what at the most common failure modes?

Angela Buchanan

Should people with hypothyroidism be on a certain diet? Can I trust the fad thyroid cookbooks out there that claim they can make me feel less garbagey? (Thanks Alie!)

Blake Hawkins

What do you think about the new “follow-on” therapies in rapid and basal insulin(Admelog and Basaglar)? Do you think this will help patients with Type 1 and some Type 2 or should there be more focus on other therapies like a wearable pancreas? Also, I love seeing your medical artwork on Instagram.

If laughter does create endorphins, does it matter if we laugh loudly, chuckle or smile to get those endorphins?
