What We Discuss In This Episode:
In this episode, we chat about some of the things that are going on in the body, and the changes that are occurring.
We discuss some of the foundational things we must do to start feeling better and why natural vs HRT;
What natural body processes can transform your menopause journey and your well-being?
What other areas of wellness do women need to keep on the radar during menopause?
Weight Gain and Hormones:
The real reason why we gain weight during menopause:
- Cortisol overrides other hormones and causes increased insulin, the fat storage hormone.
- Reducing stress is key to lowering cortisol and managing weight.
- Adaptogens like ashwagandha can help lower cortisol.
Natural Solutions:
Why Eileen recommends that women try the natural route versus take medication & ways to accomplish the natural element.
- Essential oils like progesterone plus help hot flashes.
- Detoxification with chlorella and lemon water is important.
- Gut health from probiotics, prebiotics, and fermented foods is critical.
- Anti-inflammatory diet with no processed foods or added sugars.
Areas of Focus:
- Detoxification, gut, brain, liver, thyroid, adrenals, skin. Must be a holistic approach.
- Toxins cause inflammation and hormone disruption.
- Fragrances can lead to endometriosis and diabetes.
Adrenal Fatigue:
What is Adrenal Fatigue and how does this affect menopause?
- Overproduction of cortisol leads to adrenal fatigue.
- Phases progress from overactivation to fatigue, aches, and round-the-clock exhaustion.
- Adrenal fatigue goes unrecognized by mainstream medicine.
Key Takeaways:
- Hormone imbalance during menopause can lead to weight gain, hot flashes, anxiety, depression, and more.
- Reducing stress and inflammation are key to managing menopause symptoms naturally.
- Detoxification, gut health, adrenal health, and thyroid health are important areas of focus.
