In this episode, we talk to Esther Blum, who is the bestselling author of Cavewomen Don't Get Fat, Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous. She currently maintains a busy virtual practice where she helps women balance hormones, lose stubborn body fat, and treat the root cause of health struggles.  Esther received a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Nutrition from Simmons College in Boston and is a graduate of New York University, where she received her Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition.  She says the best way to heal the worst menopausal symptoms naturally is by using a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and natural hormone therapy. Dietary changes should focus on eating a nutrient-dense diet with plenty of protein and healthy fats, such as butter, beef, fish, eggs, cold-water fatty fish, and coconut oil.  Additionally, adding liver and organ meats, as well as brain, heart, and kidney, can help nourish the eggs and support fertility.  Lifestyle modifications, such as spending time outside in nature, can help reduce stress and improve hormone balance. Finally, natural hormone therapy can help reduce symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, brain fog, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and vaginal dryness.  This can include the use of bio-identical hormones such as progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone, as well as vaginal estrogen and DHEA. It is important to work with a functional medicine practitioner to monitor hormone levels and ensure proper dosage. Benefits of Hormone Therapy Hormone therapy can be beneficial for women throughout the different stages of their reproductive years. It can help to regulate hormones, reduce symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and night sweats, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, reduce the risk of heart disease, improve libido, and improve mood.  It can also be used to offset the decline of progesterone and estrogen, balance out hormone levels, and reduce the risk of developing certain diseases. Additionally, hormone therapy can be used to improve fertility and egg quality. What are some things that can help optimize hormone levels As women enter menopause, hormone levels can become unbalanced and can cause a wide range of unpleasant symptoms. To help optimize hormone levels, Esther Blum, a best selling author and clinical nutritionist, suggests a few simple strategies.   First, Blum recommends using vaginal estrogen. This helps to prevent the thinning of the vaginal walls and can maintain collagen and elastin, as well as lubrication which can prevent pain during sex. Blum also suggests utilizing progesterone in the second half of the cycle to help balance hormones and reduce symptoms like heavy periods, fatigue, and brain fog.    Blum also notes that DHEA and testosterone can help to balance hormones. To get the most benefit, it's important to monitor hormone levels to determine when to bring in these hormones. She suggests working with a practitioner to determine an individualized hormone plan. Blum also recommends a high fat diet with animal fats, beef, fish, eggs, and cold-water fatty fish. This can help to nourish the eggs, liver, and other organs, promoting fertility.    In addition to these strategies, Blum stresses the importance of reducing stress levels and taking time for self-care. This can help to support hormonal balance and overall health. By utilizing these strategies, women can take steps towards optimizing their hormone levels, reducing menopausal symptoms, and promoting overall health and well-being. In this podcast, you will learn about: The importance of optimizing hormone levels how protein and carbs play an important role in the body fertility hacks the difference between vaginal estrogen and vaginal DHEA? and so much more.

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.

Are you dreading menopause? Many women do. But today's guest has not only embraced this stage of life, she also makes it a lot of fun! In this episode, you'll hear how to approach menopause with enthusiasm.   About Esther Blum Esther is the bestselling author of Cavewomen Don't Get Fat, Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous, Secrets of Gorgeous, and The Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous Project. She currently maintains a busy virtual practice where she helps women balance hormones, lose stubborn body fat, and treat the root cause of health struggles.

She is also a member of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians in Functional Medicine, Nutritionists in Complementary Care, and the Connecticut Dietetic Association.   How Practitioners Can Approach Menopause with Their Clients The sad state of affairs is that there are currently few options presented to women as they approach and go through menopause. 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.
