Women go on hormone therapy to manage peri/menopause symptoms and feel better. But sometimes to their surprise, they feel worse. Or some symptoms go away while others pop up. That's because of the hormones! We have hormone receptors all over our body and whenever we switch up the signals they're receiving, whether through the menopause transition itself or through the hormones we use, they're going to respond to those changes, and sometimes not in the way we want. Most side effects are manageable with time or by dialing in delivery methods and/or doses. It's just important to know what to expect. We talk all about it this week with our resident menopause specialist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Health.

Most recently, she has launched her own private practice specializing in helping active and high-performing women reach their performance potential from puberty through menopause.

Welcome to Menopause Research Review! Now that menopause has hit the mainstream, we're swimming in a steady stream of studies, which is great and can also be overwhelming. So for 2025, we're introducing a regular segment called Menopause Research Review where we break down key research as it comes out with resident reproductive endocrinologist and menopause performance specialist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo. This week we kick it off with a study published in Menopause: The range and variation in serum estradiol concentration in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women treated with transdermal estradiol in a real-world setting: a cross-sectional study. We dive into hormone testing, what it tells us (and what it doesn't) as well as what it means (or not) to have therapeutic levels.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine.

Of all our hormones, cortisol might be the most misunderstood and maligned. We're told this stress hormone is the culprit behind excess belly fat, high blood sugar, accelerated aging, and a host of menopausal and midlife woes. Menopausal and midlife women sometimes are afraid to exercise too much because they've been told it will raise their cortisol, which can already be elevated during this time of life. The problem with this narrative is that it's one-sided. It paints cortisol as a demon to be avoided at all costs, when actually cortisol is essential to maintain and improve fitness, and frankly for human life. This week we sat down with endocrinologist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo to dive into what cortisol is, what it does, and how menopausal women can manage–even befriend it–to optimize their health, performance, and well-being.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Health. She is a MedFit Care provider and provides weekly workouts and medical updates at her Substack Athletic Aging. She has most recently become an Endocrine Consultant for Wild Health.

Now that menopause is mainstream news, interest in hormone therapy is exploding. And so is the confusion and controversy surrounding it, as menopausal hormone therapy (aka hormone replacement therapy), which is undeniably a game changer for millions, has also become a massive business. Some practitioners are reportedly prescribing “megadoses” of estrogen–in some cases twice or even 3 or 4 times the maximum licensed dose, causing myriad medical societies to sound the alarm. Meanwhile, researchers are working overtime to catch up to provide clarity on what hormone therapy does, what it doesn't do, who it benefits most, and for how long. This week we dig into it all with our favorite hormone doc, Dr. Carla DiGirolamo. Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Health.

Since we started this podcast, many women have gone from being afraid to take hormone therapy to being afraid not to take hormone therapy, as some in the menopause field are saying that menopause is really a “hormone deficiency” and we can't age well without it. This week we dive in on what hormone therapy is; what it can do (especially for performance and health); what it can't do, and what we're still learning about all of it with Dr. Carla DiGirolamo.Carla is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Health.

Motivation isn't enough to create lasting behavior change. The secret to success? Focus on consistency. In the words of behavior scientist BJ Fogg, Ph.D., it's important to “make the habit so tiny you can do the baseline habit on any day.” Dr. Fogg is the author of the New York Times bestselling book “Tiny Habits” and the director of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. He has spent over 20 years researching and teaching insights about human behavior with a special focus on health and productivity. Dr. Fogg and his colleague, Stephanie Weldy, M.Ed., recently joined me for a live Q&A-style webinar hosted by CrossFit Health which I'm sharing here. We had a great conversation focused on why celebrating small habits is the key to creating huge transformations.

Caffeine: It's likely the most widely used mood- and performance-enhancing drug. However, have you ever noticed that some people are wired all day from one cup of coffee in the morning while others can drink it right before bed? The CYP1A2 enzyme is largely responsible for caffeine metabolism, and our genes may give some information about our individual response. Interested in harnessing the performance-enhancing benefits of caffeine? Mark Goodman, MD, recommends you start by eliminating regular caffeine consumption. Then you can reintroduce a small amount approximately 60 minutes before your workout to observe its effect on your performance. Experiment with timing and dosage, and keep in mind that some individuals might experience a neutral or even negative effect, so it may take a few trials to find the best formula for you.

The average American spreads their food consumption out over 15 hours a day, which basically means they're eating from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed and fasting only during sleep. Increasing this fasting window by even just a few hours can provide a multitude of health benefits, (1, 2, 3) including: Decreased rates of obesity Improved blood pressure Decreased insulin resistance Better lipid profiles Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease Decreased cancer risk Decreased inflammation These benefits are seen with many different fasting practices. With time-restricted feeding, for instance, an individual eats for only a portion of the day, say 8-12 hours, and fasts the remainder of the day. Periodic prolonged fasting, on the other hand, ranges from as little as 24 hours to up to 3-5 days during which an individual is consuming only water. Keep in mind that fasting isn't for everyone. Those who have a history of disordered eating or diabetes, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are participating in high-volume training should all consult with a doctor before fasting. However, if fasting is right for you, it can be a small, easy-to-implement change that can have a significant positive impact on your health.

It's a familiar scenario: Your client understands what they need to do to improve their health, and yet they just can't seem to consistently follow through on eating right, exercising more, getting quality sleep, etc. Enter motivational interviewing, a way of conducting conversations about change to strengthen clients' motivation and commitment. Dr. Stephen Rollnick is a pioneer in the field of motivational interviewing and has spent much of his career researching and developing effective methods for helping people resolve difficult behavior change. He recently joined me for a live Q&A-style webinar hosted by CrossFit Health with a focus on how motivational interviewing can help clients and patients achieve their goals.

It probably comes as no surprise that alcohol has a negative impact on sleep quality, but why does something that seems to help you drift off actually turn out to be problematic? Mike Stone, MD, shares two main reasons why alcohol and sleep don't mix: Alcohol disrupts normal sleep architecture, leading to nighttime waking and reduced sleep quality. Alcohol suppresses REM sleep, which is critical for learning and memory. For an eye-opening experiment, try using a wearable sleep tracker and observe the results. You're most likely to notice decreased HRV, increased resting heart rate, and decreased REM sleep. Still want to enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine? Dr. Stone suggests these strategies to help mitigate the negative effects of alcohol consumption: Minimize the total amount of alcohol you consume. Keep your alcohol consumption earlier in the evening, further away from sleep. Use a sleep tracker to run experiments and determine which types of alcohol and what circumstances result in the smallest impact possible for you personally.

“We like to say heart rate variability is the range of motion of your nervous system,” Lindsey Mathews, DC, says. Put another way, heart rate variability (HRV), or the variance in time between the beats of your heart, can provide insight into how your body is responding to the many different stressors in life. This is a valuable tool to help guide women's training through pregnancy and postpartum. When HRV is low, it opens up a conversation on what other life stressors are going on and indicates a need to reduce training load. When HRV is stable or trending upwards, pregnant and postpartum women can use it as an opportunity to push training a little bit harder within the parameters of what is safe for their pregnancy. HRV values are individually unique, but by establishing a personal baseline, women can bring awareness to how different lifestyle factors impact their physical readiness. They can then use this knowledge to inform training throughout their pregnancy and postpartum.

Mealtime with kids — Is it possible for it to be low-stress AND nutritious? Nicole Christensen wears many hats: CF-L4, owner of CrossFit Roots, Seminar Staff Flowmaster, CrossFit Nutrition Course Director, and, most importantly, mom of two. Her best tip: Keep it simple and offer a small selection of healthy options to keep the decisions and negotiations to a minimum. At breakfast, she keeps it quick and easy by offering a fruit and a protein, which vary based on what's in the house. For lunches and snacks, she likes to have a variety of good choices available so her girls can make their own selections. At dinner, the kids eat what the adults eat: typically grilled meat, some form of potato, and a vegetable. If this all sounds too good to be true, Christensen shares that when her girls come across foods they don't want to eat, oftentimes it simply takes patience and time for them to change their minds.

Fats and oils are important parts of a healthy diet and support functions such as vitamin absorption, brain function, and nerve function — but did you know not all fats and oils are created equal? When choosing the right oil for your meal, consider two factors: -The degree of processing the oil has undergone -Smoke point (the temperature at which the oil starts to burn and smoke) Seed oils such as sunflower, vegetable, and canola oil require a high degree of processing and can be pro-inflammatory. Better choices require less processing and include avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and grass-fed butter. Olive oil has a low smoke point and is best saved for dressings. Avocado oil and butter have higher smoke points and are more appropriate for cooking. By selecting minimally processed oils with appropriate smoke points, you can maximize the health benefits of including fat in your diet and minimize factors that contribute to the risk of chronic disease.

Focusing on QUALITY food can have a huge impact on health, but many individuals reach a point where they hit a plateau. That's when food QUANTITY comes into play. Stephane Rochet, CF-L3, shares a simple method to begin measuring food portions. At each meal, load your plate with: Protein: Between 1 and 2 palm-sized servings, depending on your size and goals Vegetables: Double the size of your protein serving Starch: Equivalent to the size of your protein serving Fat: Approximately the size of your thumb Ready for more precision? Start with between .8 and 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight and set a macronutrient ratio from there — 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat is a good place to start. The practice of measuring doesn't have to last forever. Once you do it often enough, you'll have built the skill to look at your plate and generally know if you're hitting the correct quantities, Rochet says. From there, you can return to measuring as needed when you find you need to recalibrate your eye.

You probably know it's important to reduce stress for your mental health, but did you know stress can impact your body all the way down to the level of gene expression and immune system activation? Dr. Slavich recently joined me for a live Q&A-style webinar hosted by CrossFit Health with a focus on stress and its effects on health. Dr. Slavich is a leading research expert and the founding director of the Laboratory for Stress Assessment and Research at UCLA.

Can giving birth increase your heart rate variability (HRV)? Research conducted by OB-GYN Shon Rowan, MD, indicates that it can! In a study following women who were already exercising and planning to become pregnant, Rowan used a wearable device pre-, during, and post-pregnancy to track HRV and resting heart rate. The results provided several fascinating insights: Several participants were able to detect conception prior to taking a pregnancy test. Women experienced a statistically significant increase in resting heart rate and decrease in HRV with each trimester. Approximately 56 days before delivery, those trends reversed. Resting heart rate began to decrease, and HRV increased with the approach of delivery. This trend continued into the postpartum period to the point that postpartum HRV exceeded the pre-conception state.

“Trying harder is usually not the answer” when you're making changes to your nutrition, says CF-L3 Sarah Hopping Estrella. Instead, try these strategies to set yourself up for nutrition success. Adopt a positive mindset. Recognize the habits that aren't moving you toward your goal. Set up your environment to support your goal. Identify challenges or barriers to success and plan ahead for those scenarios. Replace undesired behaviors with healthier options that support your nutrition goals. “When you have goals that are important to you, it's much more rewarding if you're sticking to things that are actually consistent with those goals than letting yourself fall victim to momentary pleasures,” Hopping Estrella says.

Making a lifestyle change doesn't have to be overwhelming. Stephane Rochet, CF-L3, offers tips for getting started and overcoming plateaus. “There's nothing harder than taking that first step,” Rochet says. His advice: Start small. Master the basics before moving on to more advanced steps. Once you get started, he emphasizes the importance of being patient and focusing on the process rather than the results. “If you focus on the outcome, it eludes you. But if you focus on the habit or the process, you end up getting the outcome you want,” he explains.

Nagging aches and pains? According to Jason Garrett, DC, rest and myofascial release are often the best first line of defense. If your aches or pains persist for more than a few days without improvement, he recommends you seek professional assistance from a provider who employs a combination of manual therapy and corrective exercises. Your provider's goal should be to not only take away the cause of pain but also to rebuild and strengthen the area while educating you about what's causing the injury in the first place.
