    Ivy Insights

    The Menopause Natural Solutions podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon just when I needed it most. Jennifer's approach to providing information and substance in small doses with a positive twist is truly admirable. Her knowledge, peppy personality, and bright demeanor make for a delightful listening experience. And to top it all off, her lovely accent adds an extra layer of charm to the podcast.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Dr. Harrington's wealth of knowledge about natural approaches for managing menopause. Her quiz and interactive book are fantastic resources that provide insights and guidance on dealing with weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, and fatigue without relying on pharmaceuticals. It's refreshing to find a source that focuses on holistic solutions and empowers women to take control of their own health.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the sense of education it provides. For someone like me who has been searching for this type of informative content for years, stumbling upon this podcast was a game-changer. Dr. Harrington's expertise allows listeners to finally feel like they have a handle on menopause and can start viewing it as more of a friend than a foe.

    The empathy in Jennifer's voice as she covers all the information she provides is palpable, making it easy to get hooked on these podcasts. Her caring approach shines through in every episode, making listeners feel understood and supported during this transitional phase of life.

    While it may be challenging to find any negatives about this podcast, one minor downside could be that it may not be accessible to those who do not have Facebook or Instagram accounts if there are exclusive giveaways or contests offered only through those platforms. However, this issue does not detract significantly from the overall quality and value provided by the podcast itself.

    In conclusion, The Menopause Natural Solutions podcast is a must-listen for anyone navigating through menopause or looking to gain valuable insights into natural approaches for managing its symptoms. Dr. Harrington's combination of expertise, empathy, and a no-nonsense approach make for an incredibly informative and uplifting listening experience. I am grateful for this podcast and eagerly look forward to all the upcoming episodes that will undoubtedly continue to provide help and support during this transformative stage of life.

    Regular physical activity, such as walking, can have several positive effects on overall health, including potential benefits for the menopausal transition. Why walking? Because walking is free, available everywhere, and has a really low risk of injury. You can do it by yourself, with your dog, or together with other family members or friends. You can use walking in three different ways. One for the reduction of symptoms you are currently experiencing, 2 for the prevention of future issues, 3 just for fun! Some of the benefits of walking can occur in as little as 10 minutes, with 1 walk, other benefits take much longer and need a greater frequency.

    The Iron Curse with Dr Christy Sutton

    Dr. Christy Sutton is a chiropractor, who is interested in asking why health problems occur, what the root causes are, and what the safest and most effective solutions to health problems are the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice. Her personal health struggles and her desperation to find answers to her own serious health problems surrounding Crohn's and Celiac disease have led her down the alternative healthcare path and to look for ways to find and avoid genetic landmines. Her first book “Genetic Testing: Defining Your Path to a Personalized Health Plan”; and its corresponding “Genetic Detoxification”; report were the precursors to creating the Labrogenomics educational webinars and to write her upcoming book “The Iron Curse”. Her book “The Iron Curse”; is inspired by diagnosing her husband and many patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-related health problems, and takes a deep dive into hemochromatosis and other iron-related disorders. Her husband's hemochromatosis led to liver problems and likely led to the development of a pituitary tumor that caused Cushing's disease. From her experience as a clinician, she has discovered that there is a silent epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and this epidemic is being driven by myths, misperceptions, and a failure on the part of the medical community that should be diagnosing people with hemochromatosis: a disease that is easy to screen for, prevent, diagnose, and treat. “The Iron Curse”; course and upcoming book are powerful tools for ending the epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and they give people the information they need to diagnose, prevent, and correct iron-induced damage. She has also created cutting-edge courses designed to help people learn more about labs, genes, and clinical pearls to optimize health. The topics include iron, gut health, immune health, Alzheimer's, and methylation.   Read my review of the Iron Curse - Iron Curse Book Review My previous Iron Overload podcast episode was number 169.   Pre-order The Iron Curse Now  https://www.drchristysutton.com/   ____________________________________________________________ About Jennifer Harrington Jen is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Medical Herbalist.

    The Importance of Digestive Enzymes

    The Importance of Digestive Enzymes As we age, many women will start to notice a change in their digestive ability. Signs that your digestive system isn't optimally functioning include heartburn, burping, nausea, food intolerances, bloating, cramping, flatulence, and constipation. Several foods naturally contain digestive enzymes that can aid in the digestion process. Including these foods in your diet may help improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Here are some examples of foods rich in digestive enzymes: APRICOTS - Apricots contain invertase, an enzyme that assists with carbohydrate digestion AVOCADOS - Avocados contain lipase, an enzyme that assists in the digestion of fats. BANANAS - Bananas contain amylase and maltase, adding in carbohydrate digestion GINGER - Ginger contains a protein-digesting enzyme called zingibain, but it also stimulates the body to increase its natural production of amylase and lipase helping to also break down carbohydrates and fats. HONEY - Raw unprocessed honey contains diastases, amylases, and invertase enzymes helpful in digesting carbohydrates plus a protease that aids in protein digestion. KIWI FRUIT - Kiwi Fruit contains a protease enzyme called actinidin, which breaks down protein. MANGOES - Mangos contain enzymes like amylase, which helps break down carbohydrates, and proteases that assist in protein digestion. PAPAYA - Papaya contains papain and this helps to digest protein. The riper the fruit the less papain is present. Best to eat green. PINEAPPLE - Pineapple contains bromelain, which is a protease enzyme meaning it aids in protein digestion. NUTS & SEEDS - Sprouting seeds and nuts activate enzymes that aid in the digestion of proteins and fats.   Article - Digestive Enzymes Webinar - Functional Food for the Menopausal Transition Chat with Jen - Discovery Call   If you enjoyed this episode, you may also like these ones: 124 - The Role of Digestive Health in Peri-menopause 85 - The Importance of Dietary Fibre during Menopause 76 - To soy or not to soy 52 - Hormonal Constipation 9 - Digestion and Menopause   ___________________________________________________________ About Jennifer Harrington Jen is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Medical Herbalist.

    Palpitations are not a pleasant sensation, woman experiencing them can actually feel their heart beating. For some, it is just the awareness of their heart at work, for others it feels like their heart is pounding, racing, or skipping a beat. Unfortunately, it's a common experience for many women in the menopausal transition. Research indicates that 42% of perimenopausal and 54% of post-menopausal women experience them. If with your palpitations you are also experiencing shortness of breath, chest pain, chest tightening, or dizziness it's best to head to emergency. If not, then book an appointment with your regular doctor. They can check your medications, as some medications can cause palpitations, and they can investigate for other conditions such as hyperthyroidism that can also produce palpitations. And rule out other cardiovascular issues such as arrhythmias. Once you are cleared of anything more serious it's time to look at your diet and lifestyle. These factors increase the risk of palpitations: Blood sugar irregularities Dehydration and low electrolyte status Low Iron Anaemia Blood pressure issues Stress, anxiety, or panic.
