Experts Elizabeth Ward and Hillary Wright, co-authors of newly-released The Menopause Diet Plan: A Natural Guide to Managing Hormones, Health and Happiness, offer valuable strategies how a nutrient rich diet plan and a healthy  lifestyle can not only mitigate and manage the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, but also reduce weight gain, lower your risk for chronic diseases including cancer, and improve bone and brain health. Key messages:Focus on key nutrients such as calcium, omega 3 fatty acids and protein which is often lacking in the diets of menopausal women.Limit alcohol to one drink per day.The Menopause Diet Plan is similar to the Mediterranean and DASH diets, rich in protein, smart carbs, and healthy fats with a little room for splurge foods.Highly processed and refined foods are discouraged as they can worsen symptoms.Natural supplements to control hot flashes are not recommended as the evidence is limited.Exercise is essential to the plan, especially resistance training to maintain muscle mass.Dietary supplement recommendations are individualized where needed to fill in nutrient gaps.Resources: https://betteristhenewperfect.com/https://hillarywright.com/https://www.instagram.com/menopausedietplan/https://www.amazon.com/Menopause-Diet-Plan-Managing-Happiness/dp/0593135660

I am thrilled to have fitness expert, Amanda Thebe, back to talk about her popular new book called Menopocalypse. It's a hilarious and well-researched book that provides a ton of great information and quite a few chuckles. Amanda chronicles her menopause journey and how that led her to go deep into the research of how nutrition, exercise, stress and other things affect the menopause experience. Her philosophy is that the more we understand what's going on with our body, the more empowered we are to take back our power in this stage of life. Although menopause symptoms can be very different for each woman, Amanda shares the five most common symptoms and how to help deal with them. She also reviews diseases and health issues that post-menopausal women are more at risk for and how we can support our bodies. And of course, she brings her fitness expertise to the discussion as we talk about movement, exercise and the importance of strength training. Did you ever think about menopause as a good thing? Amanda and I discuss how it is important for us to change our view of menopause as a pivotal point or pattern interrupt to re-evaluate our lives instead of as a disruption. The impact of stress and how we think has a big impact on how we experience menopause. This episode will challenge you to think differently about this stage of life.

How important is getting enough sleep in terms of managing your hunger and overall hormone balance? What are the principles of The Menopause Diet Plan and how do they help women better manage their hormones? Is soy safe to eat for women going through menopause? Why is regular physical activity so important at mid-life and beyond? What kind of change is your brain going through during menopause?

I wrap up today’s episode with a recommendation for my favorite new true-crime podcast, Tom Brown’s Body. From the website: “In 2016, a popular teenager disappeared in the tiny Panhandle community of Canadian, Texas. Two years later, his remains were discovered beneath a tree outside of town. But to this day, no arrests have been made, and nearly everyone involved in the case has fallen under suspicion.” Thanks so much for listening, downloading, subscribing and sharing with a friend.
