TODAY'S GUESTDr. Ali Chappell, the Founder and CEO of Lilli Health, aims to revolutionize the treatment of insulin resistance and PCOS. She is a Registered Dietitian with a MS in nutritional sciences and a PhD in nutrition and metabolism with a focus in reproductive endocrinology. She also completed a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded postdoctoral research fellowship to further investigate nutrition, insulin resistance, and PCOS. Over the past 12 years, she has conducted three clinical research studies focusing on the transformative ability of a Low Insulin Lifestyle to reverse insulin resistance and treat PCOS. Having PCOS herself, she has dedicated her career to studying a Low Insulin Lifestyle in patients with PCOS. This research led to her receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation in 2021 to launch Lilli Health and help take her research from the lab and the pages of medical journals and into the hands of patients and their healthcare providers.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lillihealth/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lillihealthON TODAY'S EPISODEAli shares her personal story and how she came to study insulin and its impact on PCOS. We discuss the gap in PCOS messaging and the importance of understanding insulin resistance. Ali explains the testing methods for insulin levels and the significance of low fasting insulin. We also explore the foods that raise insulin levels and the misconception around blood sugar management. Our conversation highlights the crucial role of insulin in PCOS and the need for personalized nutrition approaches. In this episode we explore the impact of food on blood sugar and insulin levels and emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of individual responses to different types of fruits and the role of fructose in liver fat accumulation. We highlight the benefits of a low insulin lifestyle compared to keto and paleo diets as well as the effects of combining fat or protein with fruit and the potential benefits of time-restricted eating and intermittent fasting. We also share other factors that can help lower insulin levels, such as managing stress and improving sleep.STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:You can find me:On Instagram @daniellehamiltonhealth On Facebook at Danielle Hamilton Health.My website is daniellehamiltonhealth.com (scroll down to sign up for my Newsletter!)

If your health or weight loss plan involves counting daily macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates & fats), please stop. In this episode, I'm going to explain why you should focus on micronutrients, rather than macronutrients.It's not that proteins, carbs and fats aren't important. It's that centring your meals and daily routines around macro metrics doesn't fully cover your needs for balancing hormones - your body's regulators. It's only a part of the picture. Also, counting macros is a pain.With my clients, we always focus on getting the right amount of micronutrients - vitamins and minerals. Micronutrients build the hormones that regulate everything from weight (fat), skin issues, digestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), bloating and more.  Listen in as we talk about:[1:43] Why counting macronutrients (proterns, carbs & fats) is difficult and ineffective[6:44] Why I focus on micro nutrients rather than macronutrients[7:20] What are micronutrients and how they affect hormone production[9:55] Why your body stores fat[11:44] Why focusing on macronutrients makes weight loss difficult[12:11] How focusing on micronutrients covers your macros anyways[12:46] How I use food to balance hormone productionHave a health topic you'd like to cover on the Hormone Helper podcast?

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the M.E.O.W. Podcast! Today's topic is an introduction to a women's nutritional needs and a gentle mindset, featuring our friend Courtney Cayer. Courtney is an integrative and functional registered dietitian at @jilliangreavesrd. They focus on empowering women through health and nutrition in alignment with our hormonal cycle. In this episode, we discuss the difference between men and women's hormonal needs in relation to food and health. We dive deep into the topic of developing a healthy and compassionate mindset, focused on how our bodies feels vs how it looks. We live in a society that pushes difficult health standards to uphold and which are catered to the male hormonal cycle. We are all so different and come in different shapes and sizes. Finding your unique health needs is a personal journey and one that is necessary to live a healthy and happy life. We hope we leave you with the inspiration to go on your unique health journey: one rooted in self-love and a gentle mindset.

As an integrative and functional women's health dietitian, part of my job is to figure out the root cause(s) of my patients' symptoms. In many cases, I find that hormone imbalances and symptoms can be directly linked to less than optimal blood sugar levels and what it's doing to their bodies. In fact, balancing blood sugar is a foundational strategy for most people. Today's episode is all about biology and how blood sugar affects women's hormones. Once we understand what blood sugar is and how it affects the hormones in our body, we can start to find solutions and feel more balanced.    In this episode, we'll talk about the basics of carbohydrate metabolism, the ways blood sugar affects hormones, how to evaluate for blood sugar issues, and how to balance blood sugar with nutrition and lifestyle.   This Week We Talk About:  What is blood sugar  How insulin resistance works and how it affects the body  How blood sugar and insulin imbalances affect sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen and how that leads to symptoms How to know if you have blood sugar imbalances How to balance your blood sugar with nutrition and lifestyle changes   Mentioned in this episode PCOS Meal Prep Made Easy Workshop – In this hour-long workshop, I break down what foods you want to include for PCOS and what you may want to consider avoiding or minimizing. Learn my simple 3 step formula for planning meals with PCOS, which includes learning how to eat to balance blood sugar.

Can you sync your cycle with your business? Yes you can! In this episode of Uncomfortable, I chat with Alyx Coble-Frakes, co-founder of The Agenda. Early in Alyx’s health coaching career it became obvious to her that her desire to do certain tasks varied based on where she was at in her menstrual cycle.    About Alyx Alyx is the co-founder of The Agenda. Early in Alyx’s health coaching career it became obvious to her that her desire to do certain tasks varied based on where she was at in her menstrual cycle. Detailed observation revealed that sales calls that happened when she was ovulating had higher conversion rates. Both Alyx and her co-founder Sunny realized that when people have a deeper understanding of their natural hormonal fluctuations they can use them to their advantage and see amazing results in their lives and in their business.

Today on Couch Talk I have brought back a previous – and popular – guest, Dr. Lara Briden. Lara is here to talk with us about her recently updated book, Period Repair Manual: Natural Treatment for Better Hormones and Better Periods.She is a naturopathic doctor with some twenty years of experience in women's health and she runs a hormone clinic in Sydney, Australia. With 4 daughters I can tell you that this is an important resource book – and required reading – in my household! What I love about Lara's book is that it contains important information for women as they transition through all ages (including having teenage daughters!)…and in her 2nd edition she added an entire new chapter on perimenopause and the menopause transition…! What Happens in Our 40's? The Good, the Bad…and the Ugly, Too Lara's key message is to focus on the things you can do in your early 40's to: stabilize hormone receptors (not too much estrogen and nurturing your natural progesterone production), support your nervous system and your adrenal function, and monitor thyroid health! Why? Because the focus you put into these things early-on is going to translate to an easier transition later after your periods stop. Listen to the Interview and Hear About, What's happening hormonally in your 40's? (how progesterone has left the building and estrogen may be wreaking havoc on your periods, mood, sleep and life!) All about “Thyropause”, the intersection of thyroid disease and perimenopause (and how hypothyroidism can cause heavy periods) What you can do about “flooding periods” The number one vital hormone for our 40's! (and it isn't estrogen) Lara's “rescue prescription” for better mood and sleep…(a super little over the counter combo that supports GABA, our calming neurotransmitter, that can REALLY help...) How histamine intolerance may be impacting your estrogen levels (resulting in headaches, insomnia and hives…) And so much more… I also love that Lara tells her patients that it is important to recognize that this phase won't last forever, that it is not the new normal! I often tell women in my menopause programs the same thing…you are in a state of transition! And with a little knowledge you can get through it with a lot less misery! Lara Has a Gift for You! You can also get 2 chapters of Lara's newly revised book as a free download! Check it out! You and all the women in your life will benefit from it. Let me know how you like it! (and apologies for the clicking heard during the interview…I've now replaced my microphone!) NOTE FROM DR. ANNA: I receive a lot of questions from women relating to hormone imbalances during menopause, but also many questions and concerns relating to fertility issues. Such “transition” times for women are when our hormone balance is most likely to be affected. Times of stress will also challenge our adrenals, which can worsen hormone imbalances. You might be interested in reading the story of a young women who was dealing with fertility and thyroid issues…and hearing about her journey to delivering a healthy new baby! Focusing on improving her adrenal support likely increased her bio-available progesterone levels… it is a beautiful story with a very happy ending!

Amy Medling is an amazing health coach and healer. She is the creator and host of the PCOS Diva website and podcast. She has a new book out called Healing PCOS: A 21-Day Plan for Reclaiming Your Health and Life with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and she is here today to share her healing philosophies with us. In this episode of the Clean Eating for Women podcast, we talk about:   What is PCOS Amy’s healing journey Principles of healing PCOS Some highlights of this episode on how to make veggies taste delicious: How Carrie manages her PCOS symptoms with diet and lifestyle. A lot of women are frustrated with their doctors PCOS advice. Common symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, depression, and anxiety. Amy experienced many of these symptoms, but wasn't getting a lot of help. [01:22] Doctors were giving Amy a lot of strange pharmaceutical drugs. She finally went to a reproductive endocrinologist and got a PCOS diagnosis. She was 31 when she was diagnosed. It took 15 years to get her diagnosis. [04:45] Amy wants to give women the knowledge to empower themselves, and be diva's at the doctors office. After the birth of her second son, she was exhausted all the time. Mainstream advice wasn't helping. She decided to take control of her health. [05:50] Amy spent countless hours scouring online and reading books about PCOS. She started experimenting with diet and realized as she ordered at a restaurant that she was a diva. This was an aha moment, because she realized that she had to be a diva to take the best care of herself. [07:58] The three main factors of PCOS are insulin resistance, blood sugar issues, and elevated androgens. Start with managing your blood sugar better. Amy actually used a glucometer to understand how food was making her feel. Eating to keep her blood sugar levels in check really helped. [11:42] She started eating an anti-inflammatory diet with a lot of vegetables, clean animal protein, and water. She also took supplements and eight healthy fats. This helped get her hormones in balance, and it made her feel a lot better. [13:03] Women with PCOS are at an increased risk of blood clots by being on the pill. It can also increase insulin resistance and exacerbate mood disorders. It lowers libido and creates nutrition deficiency. [15:47] Amy started reading PubMed articles and finding ways to decrease her blood sugar. She would use things like apple cider vinegar. Her lab work showed that what she was doing was actually working. She also started blogging about it in 2009. She feels it is her calling to help women heal from PCOS. She went back to school to become a health coach. [18:24] Amy's book is a lifestyle plan. It talks about symptoms of PCOS and gives an overview. Then it jumps into the three tenets of being a diva. Thinking like a diva and changing your mindset. Then eating like a diva, moving like a diva, preparing for success to start the 21-day plan.

She runs a busy hormone clinic in Sydney, Australia, and is the author of the book Period Repair Manual: Natural Treatment for Better Hormones and Better Periods. [powerpress] Here’s what we talk […] The post 076: Interview with Lara Briden appeared first on Seven Health.

I had a great interview recently with Lara Briden. She spoke with me from Australia, where she is a naturopathic doctor with twenty years' experience in women's health. She is also the author of a truly interesting book, Period Repair Manual: Natural Treatment for Better Hormones and Better Periods. We had a wide-ranging and candid talk about many important women's health topics, including the use of hormones during perimenopause. We also discussed how it is so true that women experiencing perimenopause often are doing so at the same time that their daughters are experiencing the challenge of starting their cycles! (yes, it's true!) Lara had a good deal of insights relating to the use of birth control pills in teens as well as in perimenopause; and the consequences as well as precautions and alternatives. Other topics included: Estrogen fluctuations during perimenopause. Why hormonal birth control is not a good option. What is natural progesterone and why does it help? The crucial difference between the real hormone progesterone and the progestins in birth control. Is natural progesterone safe? What other natural treatments are found to be helpful for perimenopause? What are the effects of OCPs on the gut microbiome?

Steph Gaudreau of Stupid Easy Paleo takes us through what a paleo diet is. It’s an area of much debate in the media and difficult to determine. The media paints it as the “caveman” diet, which is one we cannot realistically recreate. Others refer to The Paleo Diet which is trademarked and very strict. WHAT IS A PALEO DIET? Steph’s definition is to base your diet around whole, real foods that are very nutrient dense. But understand your context, your needs and how to adjust that template based on your needs. Athletes and people who do a lot of tough and endurance training cut out carbs to get lean and adopt a paleo diet, and their performance starts to suffer because carb intake is too low. This is where making adjustments for your body and lifestyle is important. HOW TO GET STARTED ON A PALEO DIET AND SUCCEED? Rather than looking at it as “what am I going to take away”, which tends to lead to feelings of deprivation and cravings for the very thing you’re eliminating, Steph likes to take this approach: “What can I add to my routine? Eat more vegetables. Add fermented foods. Eat better quality proteins. Eat healthy fats. Add something new each week. Perhaps the first week you try a spaghetti squash instead of pasta and see how you like that. Taking small steps is more successful for most. WHAT DOES A PALEO DIET PLATE LOOK LIKE? Half the plate is veggies, raw or cooked. The other half is mostly protein and some healthy fats (dressing, avocado, nuts). STEPH’S BOOKS: The Paleo Athlete: A Beginner’s Guide to Real Food for Performance– If you’re looking for a balanced approach to fueling, you’re curious about how to apply Paleo to your sport, or you’re a Paleo athlete already but you’re wondering how to tweak your nutrition for better performance (while not sacrificing your health), The Paleo Athlete is for you.  The Performance Paleo Cookbook: Recipes for Training Harder, Getting Stronger and Gaining the Competitive Edge– The award-winning, ultimate Paleo cookbook for performance-minded people. Over 100 mouth-watering, nutrient-dense, and performance-supporting recipes all in one resource. It’s a perfect companion to her ebook, The Paleo Athlete.   STEPH’S BIO: Steph Gaudreau combines a formal education in biology / human physiology (BS Biology—Human Physiology), 12 years of science teaching experience (MA—Education and National Board Certification), holistic nutrition training (Certified Holistic Nutrition Practitioner), and an unabashed love of tasty Paleo food (human with taste buds) on her blog, Stupid Easy Paleo. Steph’s mission is to spread the word about how to make simple, tasty recipes to help people in their quests to just eat real food. She wrote the best-seller The Paleo Athlete: A Beginner’s Guide to Real Food for Performance in 2014, and her award-winning book, The Performance Paleo Cookbook: Recipes for Eating Better, Getting Stronger & Gaining the Competitive Edge (Page Street Publishing, 2015).   STEPH’S 3 HABITS FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE: “Operation Take Back Mornings”, she makes time in the mornings for herself. {Does not check email or social media!!} Train 4 times per week. Lights out by 10pm.   STEPH’S FAVORITE MUSIC FOR: Pushing through: Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin Pump you up when feeling blue: Florence + The Machine To sooth and relax: no music…diaphragmatic deep breathing.   LINKS AND RESOURCES: Recommended book: Period Repair Manual: Natural Treatment for Better Hormones and Better Periods Recommended Digtial Resource: Sense app Get in contact with Steph:  Stupid Easy Paleo Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest | YouTube | Snapchat Steph’s Podcast: Harder to Kill Radio Steph’s strength training website: StephGaudreau.com
