As women age and close in on menopause, they start to feel off, so they go to the doctor (like we've been taught to do). What does the doctor tell us? “That's totally normal for your age.” News flash - it isn't! This week's guest is Esther Blum - integrative dietician, author, mom, and lover of exercise (that can be done in 20 minutes or less). She tells us that she should call her practice The Gaslight-free Zone. Esther begins by talking about the frustration and theft of joy and hope women feel when they perceive that they are not being heard or are being given up on.We also talk about:Listening to your body and your intuition - you know when something is off/different/wrongWhat gynecologists actually are and why they can't help you with your hormone issuesMisinformation surrounding hormone replacement and its link to breast cancer, based on a flawed studyThe importance of bodily functions working correctly (gut health especially) and being addressed in the right orderAlcohol's impact on your hormonesWhy you shouldn't be afraid to fire your physicianAnd so much more!More about Esther:Esther Blum is an Integrative Dietitian and Menopause Expert.

Meet Esther Blum Esther Blum is an Integrative Dietitian and Menopause Expert. In the past 27 years, she has helped thousands of women master menopause through nutrition, hormones, and self-advocacy.  Esther is the bestselling author of See ya later, Ovulator, Cavewomen Don't Get Fat, Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous, Secrets of Gorgeous, and The Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous Project. Known as Gwyneth Paltrow's menopause mentor and by Forbes for helping women thrive through menopause, Esther was also voted Best Nutritionist by Manhattan Magazine. She has appeared on the Today Show, ABC-TV, and Good Day NY and is frequently quoted in goop, Well + Good, Forbes, Time Magazine, The New York Post, The Los Angeles Times, In Style, Bazaar, Self, Fitness, Marie Claire, and Cosmo.     What Is Menopause? Ah, the ‘big pause'...as some might call it. As a female moving into the next phase of perimenopause, I've been rather disappointed with the lack of information shared during routine ob-gyn visits and decided to do some in-depth research. This brought me to Esther's healing work with thousands of women in and out of menopause. So, we dove all into menopause — what it is, ways to treat it, and feel better than ever. Put on your seatbelt, my friend, there's a lot of ground to cover, and as always, take what you like and leave the rest.   Menopause is a hormone deficiency that happens naturally for women as they start making fewer reproductive hormones. Both menstruation and fertility declines typically with women in their early to late 40s.      What Are Menopause Symptoms? Symptoms can, of course, vary from woman to woman. The good news is that 80% of the solution for menopausal symptoms can be changed and altered with lifestyle. Here's a listing of typical symptoms many women face: periods can worsen, meno-rage (what Esther refers to as excess anger and rage), insomnia and sleep issues, anxiety, depression, irregular heartbeat, breast tenderness, brain fog, vaginal dryness, lowered libido and lighter or missed periods. If you're feeling something is off, Esther urges you to trust yourself. You know your body and honor your own inner intuition!     How To Embrace and Overcome Menopause One of the biggest factors in managing and even overcoming menopausal symptoms is due to lifestyle habits like the foods you're eating, the exercise you're doing, and the sleep you're getting. Esther's book goes into much greater detail; however, I'm going to break this down into those three categories to help give you an overview and more clarity.   Nutrition You're going to need way more protein than ever before. Esther recommends 150 grams of protein each day. A good place to start is with 30 grams of protein at each meal (which is about 4 - 6 oz/meal). You want to keep your blood sugar stable, which protein and a small amount of carbohydrates can do. Contrary to what you might have thought, eating carbs at dinner is a good idea (for example, 1 - 1 ½ cups of rice or quinoa), which will help bump up your insulin and tamper your cortisol.    Exercise Contrary to the exercise many of us do in our 20s and 30s, you'll want to switch up your exercise routine to help support your adrenals. This means less ‘HIIT' (high-intensity interval training) method training and more walks. Walking outside can help reset your circadian rhythm and give you a great dose of vitamin D. Using weights, with enough rest in between sets, will also help with bone density loss.    Sleep It takes 8 weeks to reshape your nervous system. Engaging in deep breathing, meditation, or yoga nidra before bed is an excellent way to rewire your fight or flight system. This takes time, so don't give up if you don't notice results right away with your sleep.   What Are The Options? Esther shares research in greater depth in her book; however, we did discuss healthy options to help with symptoms and support your body during these hormonal changes. All of these suggestions are FDA-approved and considered bio-identical hormones, which are most like your own hormones. A great way to test your hormone levels, in addition to a hormone blood test, is to take what's called the DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test. Esther and other functional medical professionals can guide you so you're not going through perimenopause and menopause alone.    You can get a list of Esther's ‘Happy Hormone Cocktail List' that she mentioned here: https://estherblum.com/cocktail/ref/5   Menopause Redefined  In Asian cultures, it's also known as ‘The Second Spring.' I love this definition because of the focus on a second chance to bloom into your most true self. Perhaps this is the time in your life when you lose your filter, own your voice, and end an era of ‘people pleasing'. You've not tethered to rules around your cycle anymore, and perhaps it's a time to embrace taking exquisite care of yourself.   Some empowering questions to ask yourself might be: ‘What do I really want?', ‘Who do I want to surround myself with?' and ‘How do I want to feel?'. This is a time to cut out all the B.S. and honor your ‘You-est You'!      Looking To Help Others Know Who They Are and Design Their Best Life?   If you are feeling a strong urge to help other big-hearted empaths get unstuck and design their best life, you've got to check out my Life Designer Coach Academy.

Commonly, all they are offered is birth control or just a sympathetic shrug.  Esther explains how there's so much more that practitioners can do. She describes the many tests and treatments that can truly help. With more knowledge about what's changing in your body, you can enter this stage of life without dread. In fact, it can even be something to look forward to.   What Can Be Done to Make Menopause a Better Experience Unlike conventional practitioners, Esther sees a huge value in hormone treatments for menopause. She points out the shortfalls of some studies that lean away from hormones and discusses the benefits she and others have seen.  There are also many lifestyles and diet interventions that will help, especially when it comes to weight management. Esther explains how optimizing protein and carbohydrate intake, exercise, and an indomitable attitude will prepare you to go through menopause like a rockstar.

The Case:  Eliana is dealing with stubborn weight issues.  She's also experiencing bloating and weight gain around her period. She worked with several dieticians and found that a calorie restricted diet did reduce her weight but it wasn't sustainable and left her feeling tired.    The Investigation Eliana's challenge is a common one. Many women find that despite eating right and being active, they struggle with unexplained weight gain or an inability to lose weight. There are a lot of things that can cause weight gain or make weight loss very difficult. To find out what was the root of Eliana's weight loss mystery, we needed to explore the most common causes.  Esther Blum is an Integrative Dietitian and High-Performance Coach who has helped thousands of women permanently treat the root cause of their health struggles and find joy in their lives once again. Esther is the bestselling author of Cavewomen Don't Get Fat as well as The Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous Project.   Doing Everything With No Weight Loss Millions of people looking to lose weight often find themselves frustrated. So many of them feel like they're doing everything they can by eating clear, reducing calories, and exercising regularly but they can't lose weight. In fact, despite their best efforts, some even gain weight. This is because weight loss is more complex than just calories in and calories out.  Esther Blum shares the most common 5 culprits when someone can't lose weight.   Estrogen Dominance. Your hormones may be the reason you can't lose weight, specifically estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance can take place in your body during different times in your life. It happens when your progesterone bottoms out and the estrogen is chronically elevated. Aside from age-related hormone shifts, there are several other potential causes of estrogen dominance:  Stress Gut Inflammation Poor Detoxification Pathways Extra Weight Constipation Estrogen-based Birth Control (NuvaRing or the pill) Xenoestrogen Exposure (through some beauty products, cleaning products, perfumes, and plastics) Symptoms of Estrogen Dominance. Aside from the difficulty to lose weight, there are many symptoms to look for. In men, it might be ‘man boobs'. In women, it could be heavy, painful periods, ,longer cycles, water retention and headaches around the menstrual cycle.  Testing for Estrogen Dominance. The most common test for determining estrogen dominance is the DUTCH test. This is a urine test that shows hormone levels and can be used to track progress as you work toward getting out of estrogen dominance.  Supporting Estrogen Dominance. The key is to determine the root cause of the dominance and work on that. It might mean hormone replacement therapy, shifting diet and lifestyle, opening up detoxification pathways, and/or taking supplements like DIM (Diindolylmethane).    Adrenal Dysfunction. Adrenal dysfunction is often caused by chronically elevated cortisol levels. This can be brought on by chronic stress, poor sleep, low or high blood sugar, and/or environmental toxins.Symptoms of Adrenal Dysfunction: Exhaustion Insomnia or Poor Sleep Feeling Frazzled or Burnt Out Skipping or Doing Ineffective Workouts Supporting Adrenal Dysfunction. The main way to treat adrenal dysfunction and get the adrenals balanced again is through lifestyle changes and getting stress levels down with self-care and stress releasing practices. There are some supplements and adaptogenic herbs that may help, including:  Ashwagandha Holy Basil Tulsi Tea Phos Serine It's also important to get to the root cause of the stress and address that.    Toxins / Low Thyroid. Exposure to certain toxins can cause the thyroid to underperform. When this happens, the metabolism slows down and it can be very difficult to lose weight. Common toxins that can contribute to this include: Molds Heavy Metals Goitrogenic Chemicals  Diagnosing and Treating Toxin Triggered Low Thyroid The best way to detect toxins in the system is through a urine metabolite test. Blood tests will provide a picture of the thyroid. Treating the thyroid may require medication however, bringing down toxins like mercury could shift the need for thyroid medication. Detoxing mercury can be done through chelation, glutathione-vitamin C IV therapy, and also through specific detoxification protocols. Infrared saunas and epsom salt baths are also good for the detoxification process.    High Stress & Insomnia An inability to sleep and having high stress can be a bit of a vicious circle when it comes to weight loss. A lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain (and make weight loss difficult) because it affects blood sugar, cortisol levels, and causes the body to store fat while breaking down muscle. The key is to determine the root cause of the insomnia. Common causes include: Stress Arguments Before Bed Poor Sleep Hygiene Doing Cardio Too Close to Bedtime Eating or Drinking Too Close to Bedtime Eating Insufficient Amounts of Dietary Protein   Gut Dysfunction and Parasites You need a healthy gut to lose weight. Your gut health can be affected by inflammation and leaky gut syndrome (which can lead to nutritional deficiencies even if you eat healthy). Another way the body gets robbed of nutrition is when you are harboring a parasite. Many think that parasites only come from third-world countries but they can be found on food in North America and can also come from restaurant employees not washing their hands. H. Pylori is also a consideration because it can cause real issues with digestion including gas, bloating, heartburn, acid reflux, and low digestive enzymes and stomach acid.  Some easy ways to increase digestive enzymes are to chew food more thoroughly, drink a celery and aloe smoothie before breakfast, and avoid eating in a hurry or while distracted.    Conclusion If you are struggling to lose weight and you know you're eating well and moving enough, one of these 5 causes might be at play. Be sure to check with a functional medicine doctor or practitioner to find out.  As for Eliana, I looked at her thyroid, hormones, toxins, GI, and lifestyle to see which areas needed support. Her thyroid was all good but when we ran a DUTCH test to look at her hormones, we found our answer.  Her less favorable estrogen (4-hydroxy) was high.  We also did a heavy metal test and found mercury.    Next Steps We used DIM along with Calcium-D Glucarate. We also used BroccoProtect by Designs for Health.  To help reduce the mercury in her system we did a Push Catch Detox and she took Glutathione for 6 months.  While she was taking these supplements, we also worked on improving some of her lifestyle routines.   After 3 months, she was feeling better but the weight has not moved a ton. We had one more area to address still and that was her gut. We did a stool test and discovered dysbiosis (there weren't enough good bugs and too many bad bugs in her microbiome. She also had low digestive enzymes.) Eliana worked on chewing better, and we made sure she was getting enough pre-biotics and probiotics to support her gut health.   Happy Ending Eliana lost 5 pounds after we started supporting her gut, and lost another 10 the next month!    Eliminating Health Mysteries For Eliana we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her lose that stubborn weight. Could one of these 5 causes be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?    Links: Resources mentioned Thanks to my guest Esther Blum.  You can connect with on Instagram, book a call with her or access her free training through her website.  You may also be interested in her books.    Suggested Products DIM  Calcium-D BroccoProtect  Push Catch Detox Related Podcast Episodes:   The Case of Hidden Mold w/ Dr. Tim Jackson The Case of Mercury Fillings w/ Dr. Kourosh Maddahi The Case of Bloating, Gas, and Irregular Bowel Movements Thanks for Listening If you like what you heard, please rate and review this podcast.
