In this sponsored interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of Morphus, discusses senolytics with Dr. Gregory Kelly - Director of Product Development at Qualia Life Sciences, naturopathic physician, and author of "Shape Shift."Women in perimenopause and menopause should explore the benefits of senolytics for cellular aging because of the impact on their menopausal symptoms and overall health. During menopause, there's an accelerated accumulation of senescent cells (zombie cells) in the body, which can trigger inflammation, joint pain, and other age-related issues that make menopausal symptoms more challenging to manage. Understanding these changes helps women take steps to help them feel better and improve their long-term health. Senolytics are used only a couple of days a month, but the benefits can be felt, especially as shown by the studies done on joint pain.Key Points:Explore how cellular aging affects women during perimenopause and menopause.When cells have trouble producing energy and the body's repair cells decline, menopausal symptoms can become more severe.Discover what senescent cells ("zombie cells") are and why they accumulate more after menopause.Learn how senolytic compounds can help remove accumulated senescent cells contributing to joint pain and other issues.Understand why an intermittent approach to senolytics (2 days per month) is more effective than daily supplementation.Get practical tips for using senolytics safely and effectively during your menopause journey.Save 15% on Qualia Life Senolytics https://bit.ly/42mtvmx CODE MORPHUS15Follow Qualia Life on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/qualialife?igsh=anBzMXVkazViN3NyDr. Gregory Kelly's Book: Shape Shift: The Shape Intelligence Solution https://amzn.to/42RCbkSSend us a text ✅ Fill out our surveys Support our SPONSORS: Qualia https://bit.ly/42mtvmx CODE MORPHUS15 BEAM Minerals https://bit.ly/41DCG1w Code MORPHUS EnergyBits https://bit.ly/49f05YV Code MORPHUS Livon: https://bit.ly/3EjrcGG CODE MORPHUS Order 1 carton of Lypo-Spheric® Vitamin C at LivOnLabs.com & get 1 carton of B Complex Plus FREE ($56 value) just by adding both products to the cart Timeline: timeline.com/morphus CODE MORPHUS

In this conversation, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist and soon-to-be Published Menopause Researcher, speaks with Mike Feldstein, founder of Jaspr and an air quality expert. They discuss the significant issue of indoor air pollution, which can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the U.S. EPA. People spend 90% of their time indoors, so understanding and improving indoor air quality is crucial.Key PointsIndoor Air Pollution Sources: Common pollutants include cleaning products, smoke, off-gassing from new furniture and electronics, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Cooking is identified as the largest source of indoor pollution.Air Composition: Air consists mainly of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (20%), with trace gases. The importance of clean air is likened to how fish rely on clean water for survival.Impact of Renovations: Andrew shares his experience renovating his home with eco-friendly materials to avoid off-gassing pollutants. He emphasizes the lingering effects of indoor pollutants after renovations.Ventilation Importance: Effective ventilation is essential to reduce indoor pollutants. Many homes have poorly functioning vents that do not vent air outside, which can exacerbate air quality issues.Practical Solutions: Regular vent maintenance and proper cooking techniques can help improve indoor air quality. Mike suggests annual deep cleaning as a good practice for maintaining a healthy environment.Sleep quality. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and discomfort, disrupting sleep. A study by Jaspr, showed that improving air quality led to individuals sleeping on average 25 more minutes per night, experiencing 18% more deep sleep, and falling asleep 5% faster. Overall, the episode highlights the need for greater awareness and proactive measures regarding indoor air quality to enhance health and well-being.SAVE: From October 25 - November 1, 2024, save 20% off at Jaspr.co with code Morphus.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.   Andrea Donsky is returning to the show today for a discussion on her upcoming event - The Power of Menopause being held virtually on October 25, 2024.  She is also with us to chat about her recent experience at The Menopause Society annual conference, presenting her research to the esteemed members in attendance.  Andrea and her company wearemorphus.com collect data via free surveys that anyone can take.  Through the data collected, we are starting to get a much more clear and different picture of what actually happens at perimenopause, with our sleep in peri, and how our doctors are treating us when we present for care.  The results will surprise you (but probably not shock you).  40% of women are dismissed by their doctor without help for meno symptoms.    And there is much more to this conversation! Andrea walks us through the top 10 symptoms of the perimenopause transition (hint:  hot flashes dont show up until number 10!) and what we can do to help with these symptoms.  Additionally, Andrea tells us there are 103 symptoms associated with menopause.  It's so much more than we were taught!  Please listen, learn and share.  Find out more about the Morphus supplements (I adore the Fibreus and Sleepus!)

In episode #116 of "Menopause Reimagined," Andrea Donsky chats with Melissa Hyde, a fitness expert, about the power of weightlifting for women in perimenopause and menopause. With over 35 years of experience, Melissa shares her insights on how strength training can enhance overall health and help with weight gain, longevity/healthspan, and quality of life for midlife women.This episode highlights the critical importance of incorporating strength training into midlife women's fitness routines. By dispelling common myths and emphasizing the health benefits associated with weightlifting, Andrea and Melissa aim to inspire listeners to embrace a more active lifestyle for better health outcomes during menopause.Key TakeawaysThe Need for Strength Training: Women lose muscle mass and bone density as early as 30, losing 3-5% per decade. By age 80, this could lose up to 30% of muscle mass if not addressed through strength training.Myth-Busting Weightlifting: Many women fear becoming "bulky" from lifting weights. Melissa emphasizes that building significant muscle mass requires dedicated training and is not a concern for most women.Health Benefits of Muscle Mass: Increased muscle mass is linked to improved longevity, cognitive health, and reduced risk of falls and fractures. Strength training helps maintain independence as women age.Recommended Training Frequency: Melissa suggests that midlife women use strength training 2-4 times per week, focusing on proper form and gradually increasing intensity.Connection Between Muscle and Bone Health:Lifting weights applies force on bones, promoting bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.Work with Melissa https://morphus--menopausereset.thrivecart.com/luving-her-project/Follow Melissa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaannhydeUpcoming EventPower of Menopause SummitDate: October 25th, 9 AM to 5 PM (Virtual)A free online summit designed to empower women through education and resources related to menopause.Registration here: https://thepowerofmenopause.com/ Morphus Fiberus: https://bit.ly/3Q0wRFu Morphus Omega: 3-T https://bit.ly/3rpSFjC Morphus Toco-E: https://bit.ly/44TxFAt Morphus Magnesium: https://bit.ly/43Agse2 Workplace Survey :https://forms.gle/2QDLPJ✅ Fill out our surveys & help further menopause RESEARCH
