Overgangsalderen - også kaldet menopause - er ikke en krise eller sygdom - det er en overgang. Men det er en periode med mange forandringer og for nogle kan det være en meget hård periode (hej hedeture kl. 03:27). Der er stor forskel på hvilke symptomer kvinder har i overgangsalderen, hvor hårdt de er ramt og hvor længe menopausen varer - og der er begrænset viden fra forskningen på flere områder om menopause. Der er mange små justeringer du kan lave i forbindelse med overgangsalder i fx træning, kost, søvn, arbejde, hverdag og forventninger som kan være hjælpsomme. I denne episode har jeg besøg af Lasse Gliemann, som er humanfysiolog, lektor og forsker i overgangsalder på Institut for Idræt og Ernæring på Københavns Universitet. Lasse har arbejdet med overgangsalder i 15 år og i denne episode snakker vi blandt andet om: Hvad er overgangsalder, hvornår starter overgangsalderen og hvor længe varer menopause? Hvilke symptomer er almindelige i overgangsalder - både fysisk, mentalt og kognitivt? Hvad er forskellen på præ-, peri- og postmenopause? Hvordan ser effektiv styrketræning ud i overgangsalder? Og hvilken effekt kan man forvente på styrke og muskelmasse? Hvordan påvirker overgangsalder energiniveau, søvn, kropskomposition og koncentration? Hvilken rolle spiller kost, protein og søvn - og hvilke realistiske tiltag virker egentlig i overgangsalder? Hvad er de mest udbredte myter om overgangsalder, symptomer, træning og kost? Hvordan påvirker faldet i østrogen muskelmasse, fedtfordeling, knogler og kredsløb? Hvornår giver hormonbehandling (HRT) mening at overveje? Læs mere på Maxer.

Hot flashes. Mood swings. Sudden weight gain. Crying in the parking lot for no reason? Welcome to perimenopause, where estrogen and progesterone nosedive, thyroid slows, and insulin resistance creeps in. In this episode, we walk through everything you need to know about hormones in perimenopause—from testing timelines to symptoms, HRT, progesterone resistance, and how to support your body naturally. Learn the difference between normal and common, what labs to ask for, and how to take back control (even when your hormones are flipping tables). This is your perimenopause roadmap. *** Get Your Tickets Now: Use code REVIVAL for $100 discount ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FitMom | UNSTUCK: The Women's Health & Hormone Summit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Gut & Hormones all messed up? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ Take the quiz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ***

Welcome to the first episode in a five-part series on self-silencing and its profound effect on women's health. I'm Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer at Protea Medical Center, and in this episode, I break down how self-silencing — the learned suppression of one's needs, emotions, and voice — directly influences weight gain, hormone disruption, autoimmunity, cardiovascular risk, and more. This is a deeply personal and evidence-backed conversation rooted in decades of clinical experience and medical research. I discuss real patient patterns, the emotional layers behind common health complaints, and why this silent epidemic deserves more space in medicine. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with feeling unheard, unseen, or overwhelmed by caretaking roles, this is for you.   Citations: 13] Jakubowski, K.

Dr. Doug Lucas tackles a common myth: that topical estradiol increases stroke risk. After hearing his wife's OBGYN repeat this warning, he investigates where this misinformation comes from. He finds that even AI tools and FDA drug labels conflate oral and topical estrogen data. Citing multiple large studies, Dr. Doug explains that oral estrogen and synthetic progestins may increase stroke risk, but transdermal (topical) estradiol—especially when paired with oral micronized progesterone—does not. He emphasizes the importance of separating hormone types, delivery methods, and doses when assessing safety, and calls for better education to prevent fear-based decision-making in women considering HRT.*STUDIES*https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20670199/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4927222/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28626058/

In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray, PhD in integrative and functional nutrition, reveals the shocking truth about HRT that could change how you approach midlife health forever. After working with tens of thousands of women over 20 years and diving deep into the research that conventional medicine ignores, she's uncovering why the fear around hormones is largely unfounded – and why that fear might be robbing you of your best years. From her own devastating experience with early perimenopause after a tubal ligation to becoming one of the world's experts in women's hormone metabolism, Dr. Murray shares the game-changing Medicare study of 10 million women that proves everything we thought we knew about HRT risks was wrong. She breaks down the real difference between therapeutic dosing and dangerous over-prescribing, explains why "estrogen dominance" doesn't mean what you think it does, and reveals why your body's estrogen receptors actually INCREASE during menopause – not decrease like we've been told. We also explore her telemedicine platform, The Minerva Project, designed to offer holistic, evidence-based hormonal care to women across the United States. This is the science-backed roadmap to reclaiming your vitality, protecting your brain, and thriving through midlife without apology. If you've been on the fence about HRT or struggling with conflicting advice from practitioners, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to make the best decision for YOUR unique situation.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Number 160 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi is joined by naturopathic physician Dr. Sharon Stills, a leading expert in women's hormone health and a passionate advocate for transforming how we approach aging and menopause. Dr. Stills shares how she went from aspiring pediatrician to menopause expert—thanks to one curious patient and a Suzanne Somers book—and how that moment sparked a lifelong mission to help women reclaim vitality in their second act of life.Dr. Stills challenges the outdated narrative that menopause is a disease to be feared or managed. Instead, she offers a "pro-aging" perspective, describing menopause as a sacred transition that can be optimized with the right tools. She dives deep into the science and clinical application of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), explaining why most women are being underserved by conventional approaches—and how individualized care using 24-hour wet urine testing, bioidentical hormones, and strategic supplementation can unlock vibrant energy, libido, and mental clarity.Listeners will learn why standard blood tests miss the mark, how improper supplementation (like DIM and calcium d-glucarate) can backfire, and why topical hormone creams need to be applied to the mucosal tissues—not the skin—for proper absorption. Dr. Stills also debunks myths around estrogen, explains the vital role of estriol in preventing cancer and inflammation, and shares inspiring case studies of women who got their lives back—even after decades of suffering.Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, this conversation will reframe how you see aging—and give you real tools to thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually.Key Takeaways:Menopause is a natural transition, not a diseasePro-aging is a mindset: support aging instead of fighting itEstriol (E3) is anti-inflammatory and protective, not dangerousStandard blood tests often miss hormone fluctuations and metabolites24-hour wet urine testing offers the most accurate hormone insightsIndividualized treatment is essential—no one-size-fits-all protocolsHormone creams must be applied to mucosal tissue for effectivenessDIM and calcium-d-glucarate can be harmful if not neededHormones impact brain, bones, gut, libido, and overall vitalityHormone replacement therapy (HRT) can work in as little as 3–4 weeksTransdermal patches often contain toxins and are poorly metabolizedDHEA is best delivered orally in liposomal formWomen in their 70s and 80s can still start HRT and experience huge benefitsSymptoms like joint pain, insomnia, and brain fog often resolve quickly with proper HRT“Sort of better” isn't good enough—optimize to feel amazingWhere to Discover More with Dr. Sharon Stills:Website: https://drstills.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsharonstillsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/REDHotMedicineBiographical Information on Dr. Sharon Stills:Dr. Sharon Stills, a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor with over two decades of dedicated service in transforming women's health has been a guiding light for perimenopausal and menopausal women, empowering them to reinvent, explore, and rediscover their vitality and zest for life.

I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Important Links:Zoe:  https://zoe.com/Join my Substack, where you'll get a glimpse of my upcoming book:https://sandykruse.substack.com/Dr. Sarah Berry is an associate professor at King's College London and has run more than 30 human nutrition studies. Most notably, she's the lead nutritional scientist for PREDICT — the world's largest in-depth nutritional research at the science and nutrition company Zoe.  Dr. Sarah Berry unlocks the mysteries of how women's bodies respond to food during the menopausal transition in this eye-opening conversation about nutrition, hormones, and health. As lead scientist for PREDICT, the world's largest in-depth nutritional research at Zoe, Dr. Berry shares groundbreaking findings about the dramatic metabolic shifts occurring during perimenopause and beyond.Ever wonder why your body suddenly stores fat differently or why your blood sugar feels unstable? Dr. Berry explains the science behind these changes, revealing how dropping estrogen levels create a "roller coaster" affecting everything from cardiovascular health to sleep quality. The research is clear: premenopausal women typically have better cholesterol, blood pressure, and insulin sensitivity than men of the same age—until perimenopause disrupts these protective factors.What's particularly fascinating is how differently each woman responds to food during this transition. Dr. Berry's research reveals up to 20-fold differences between individuals, challenging the one-size-fits-all approach to menopausal nutrition. Rather than restrictive diets, she suggests practical strategies that work with your biology: time-restricted eating (finishing dinner before 7pm), maintaining consistent sleep patterns, and simply slowing down your eating rate by 20% can reduce calorie intake by 15% without conscious effort.Most encouraging is the finding that women who improved their diets experienced a 35% reduction in menopause symptoms—regardless of whether they were taking hormone replacement therapy. This suggests that focusing on diverse, plant-rich foods with plenty of fiber can complement medical approaches or provide an alternative for women who cannot or choose not to take HRT.Whether you're approaching perimenopause, in the midst of the transition, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers evidence-based hope that small, sustainable changes to how and when you eat can significantly impact how you feel Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

In this raw conversation, I sit down with the powerhouse that is Tiffanee Cook—former boxer, podcaster, speaker, and self-confessed human experiment—who gets brutally honest about her journey into perimenopause, HRT, hormonal chaos, and all the emotional, mental, and physical curveballs that came with it.We talk about what it's really like to navigate the rollercoaster of womanhood when you're constantly told you're "fine"—but deep down, you know you're not. Tiff shares her experience with HRT, testing frustration, burnout, ADHD, identity shifts, and why hitting the pause button (hello breathwork, yin, and solo hikes) might just be the key to coming home to yourself.We also get into:How tracking your cycle changes everythingThe reality of being a woman in a system that doesn't test for what mattersWhy the fitness industry is missing the mark for womenEmotional regulation, self-auditing, and relationship dynamicsSupplements, glucose monitors, and why B6 is not your friendThe stories we tell ourselves vs. what actually happenedAnd the truth about cookies, croissants, and chocolate cravingsThis isn't a “how-to” on hormones—it's a “holy sh*t, I'm not alone” kind of conversation.You'll love this if you've ever said:“I feel like a completely different person lately.”“Is this burnout or is this hormonal?”“Why didn't anyone teach me this stuff sooner?”“I just want to feel like me again.”

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Tommy: Hello Stephen. I'm an IHP. A year ago I started having dhiarrea daily. My sleep also suffered, waking up in the night unable to fall back asleep even with magnesium/melatonin/breathwork. I had some leftover healthy belly, so began taking 2 morning and 2 night. Everything cleared up, my bowells were perfect , my mind was clearer, my body was calmer. I thought it was the mastic gum that had killed some h-pylori. About 7 days after stopping healthy belly, it all came back again. I've since done a parasite protocol which i had to stop 11 days before the end as I was feeling fatigued. I ran a stool test just before these symptoms and it showed citrabacter friundi. I'm unsure whether to do a parasite protocol again or run another stool test. Appreciate you                                                                                                                                             Tommy: Hello Stephen, I heard you mention that a certain percentage of folk (possibly with the APOE genotype if memory serves me correctly), experience more inflammation with a higher fat diet. Would it be worth running a generic test to refine my unique needs a bit more as I'm prone to inflammation? Obviously this comes after the basic big 5. And Would it also explain susceptibility to mycotoxins? Thankyou for all that you do             Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, What would you recommend to 59 or 60 year olds who are a pitta/vata body type and tend to be more catabolic when it comes to your DCD? Would you recommend to modify the 2 fasting days? Both my husband and I are generally ok during Day 1 of the fast, but Day 2 is always so difficult - my husband got bad headaches and because he had to work and focus, he ended up prematurely ending the DCD. I have gotten nausea and chills on Day 2, but the most difficult part for me is just really wanting to eat solid food. It also seems that my muscle tone is weakened afterwards. I know that muscle goes away much quicker when you are over the age of 50. Thanks for all your great podcasts- they are always so informative and I look forward to your response!                                 Kay:  Hi Dr. Cabral- Thanks for your awesome podcasts and the opportunity for us to ask you questions. I'm a 59 year old female and am in menopause. I never had cellulite on my arms and back of my upper thighs and glutes until I began taking HRT. Currently, I am on 1mg oral bioidentical estradiol bid and 100 mg oral progesterone qd at bedtime. I also recently began taking 5 mg DHEA (equilife) bid. I am at a good weight (5'2" 110) and do strength training 3 x per week and walk an average of 10k steps per day. I also have recently incorporated your dry brushing techniques and plan to switch to topical HRT sometime this year with the help of my medical provider. I am wondering what else I can do to eliminate the cellulite?                                                                                                                                                                Shelley: Hello, Dr. Cabral! I have recently gone on a health and wellness journey, going from 228 lbs down to now 167 pounds in just over a year. To aid in the process, of course exercise was a part of it. With the exercise came all the injuries of olde, but mainly my knee. I injured it back in my college years playing tennis and surgery wasn't recommended as they wanted to see if it would heal itself (torn meniscus, mostly in the vascular area). Well, fast forward more years than I care to count, and that residual tear on the avascular portion can be problematic. I have been looking into peptides, specifically BPC-157 and TB-500 to potentially help this knee without surgical intervention. What are your thoughts on peptide use (these two in particular) and do you think they might help my knee?           Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3467 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia is joined by Dr. Ana Duarte, a medical doctor, expert in anti-aging and longevity medicine, and CSO of Eusari Nutrition. After 15+ years in pharmaceutical research, Ana hit her own perimenopause wall: burnt out, disconnected, and completely unprepared for the changes in her early 40s. That experience led her to pursue advanced training in women's health and longevity – and to discover just how overlooked midlife women are. No roadmap. No conversation. Just silence, shame, and guesswork. So she founded Eusari, a science-backed wellness brand built by and for women in perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Ana blends cutting-edge medical science with deep empathy, helping women feel like themselves again. She's also a speaker, writer, and passionate advocate for real, effective solutions to support women's health and vitality in midlife and beyond.

In this enlightening episode I chat with Dr Rachael Crystal, a GP and accredited menopause specialist, about the complex relationship between burnout and perimenopause. We explore how hormonal changes, stress, and life pressures intertwine, impacting women's mental and physical well-being during midlife. Rachel shares her Masters research on the lived experiences of professional women navigating burnout during perimenopause, revealing key themes like loss of identity, the importance of support, and pathways to empowerment. If you're curious about recognizing burnout, understanding hormonal impacts, or seeking ways to thrive through midlife, this episode is packed with valuable insights and hope.   Key Points & Takeaways: Burnout & Perimenopause Overlap: Many women experience symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, and emotional detachment during perimenopause, often exacerbated by stress and life pressures. These symptoms can be mistaken for other issues, leading to confusion and delayed support. The Role of Hormones: Fluctuating oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels during perimenopause impact brain function, resilience, and stress management, making women more vulnerable to burnout. Research Insights: Rachael's qualitative research with 15 women uncovered four key themes, including the "lost in transition" feeling—women feeling a loss of identity and grappling with the invisible pressures of work and life. Challenges in Diagnosis: Many women struggle to get clear answers, often being misdiagnosed or told their symptoms are due to stress or depression. Blood tests may not always provide clarity in perimenopause. Pathways to Empowerment: Supportive interventions like hormone replacement therapy (HRT), coaching, counseling, and building community can help women regain confidence, set boundaries, and re-evaluate their lives. The Power of Community & Support: Normalizing conversations about menopause and burnout, creating safe spaces, and sharing stories can reduce stigma and foster resilience. Hope & Positive Change: Many women find empowerment and renewed confidence after navigating these challenges, often emerging with clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness, and a sense of freedom.   Connect with Rachael and learn more about her work at Manchester Menopause Hive (https://manchestermenopausehive.co.uk/) and via The Burnout Revolution podcast and Substack newsletter (https://rachaelchrystal.substack.com/podcast)  If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shouldn't be shrouded in outdated fears and misinformation. When I finally started HRT at 57, I realized I'd spent years unnecessarily suffering through sleepless nights, hot flashes, and night sweats—chalked up to “normal aging”—when effective treatments already existed.My journey began after a hysterectomy, when a nurse practitioner discovered my testosterone level was critically low (11 ng/dl, with a normal range of 13–87). That led to my first experience with vaginal estrogen and topical testosterone. But over time, I learned I needed a more comprehensive approach—including systemic estrogen and progesterone—to truly feel like myself again.This episode also breaks down the recent FDA meeting that addressed two major barriers to women's hormone health:The outdated black box warning on vaginal estrogenThe ongoing lack of FDA-approved testosterone options for womenThese regulatory hurdles continue to block access to treatments that dramatically improve quality of life for midlife women.Whether you're working with your OB-GYN or exploring options through platforms like MyAlloy, MidiHealth, HerMD, or Parlor Games—support exists. But you must advocate for yourself. No woman should suffer in silence or settle for a life that feels like a shadow of her former self.Share this episode with someone who thinks they're “just getting older” and doesn't realize how good they could actually feel.Some Online Women's Health Resources:Allara Health, Midi Health, Alloy Women's Health, Evernow, Winona, HerMD, Femgevity, Maven ClinicThis episode is not intended to be medical advice. I'm sharing my personal journey with hormone replacement therapy in hopes of starting a conversation and helping other women feel less alone. I realize HRT is not the right fit for everyone._________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

Despite common myths, soy and flax can be powerful allies for women's health - especially during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, Tara sets the record straight on the hotly debated topics of soy and flax. If you've been hearing mixed messages online - especially about these foods being “estrogenic” or dangerous -it's time to clear the air with research-backed facts!   In this episode you'll learn:

In this empowering, fascinating, and fun episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by internationally respected hormone expert, best-selling author, and educator Dr. Lindsey Berkson. With over four decades of experience in clinical practice, hormone research, and medical education, Dr. Berkson brings unmatched depth to the conversation about one of today's most pressing and misunderstood health issues: hormone disruption.   Together, they unpack how declining hormones—especially estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin—are impacting intimacy, energy, fertility, and long-term health. Drawing from her background as a Distinguished Hormone Scholar at the Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane/Xavier Universities, Dr. Berkson explains why libido is not just about desire—it's a vital sign of overall health.   She also shares her personal journey as a DES-exposed daughter, cancer survivor, and thought leader in functional endocrinology, giving the episode rare perspective and actionable clarity.   Tune in, take notes, and begin rebuilding the biochemical foundation of your vitality.   Some of What You'll Learn in This Episode:   How endocrine disruptors like plastics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals interfere with hormone signaling The global rise in Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) and its role in locked-up hormones and low libido Why loss of oxytocin is contributing to anxiety, disconnection, and immune decline The impact of elevated SHBG, cytokines, and inflammation on fertility, mood, and aging The link between hormone disruption and early-onset estrogen-driven cancers How safe, bioidentical hormone therapy differs from conventional approaches—and why it matters Why “loss of libido” should be treated as a clinical warning sign, not dismissed as a lifestyle issue Foundational tools for supporting hormone health through detox, nutrient therapy, and intimacy The key lab markers most conventional providers overlook—and how to find a properly trained hormone specialist Why hormone health is central to brain protection, immune resilience, and emotional regulation   More from Dr. Berkson: Dr. Berkson is the author of numerous books including Hormone Deception, Safe Hormones, Smart Women, and Sexy Brain. She holds patents in bioidentical hormone therapy, has collaborated on research in estrogen receptor science, and consults internationally on nutrition for hormone-driven cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, renal disorders, and more.   She teaches continuing education for medical professionals and is the founder of multiple educational platforms for both clinicians and the public.   Resources Mentioned:   Six-Week Foundations of Healing Course:  https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/foundations Website: www.drlindseyberkson.com Memberships: drlindseyberkson.com/membership Substack: drlindseyberkson.substack.com Everything Hormones CME Course: drlindseyberkson.com/everythinghormones Vilified to Vindicated Course (V2V): drlindseyberkson.com/v2v Nutritional Medicine by Dr. Alan Gaby: https://doctorgaby.com   Looking for personalized support?

In what Dr Louise Newson calls ‘the most impactful podcast I've ever recorded', this powerful episode shares the extraordinary story of Hayley and her son, Jay.Hayley spent nearly 30 years in and out of psychiatric hospitals. She was diagnosed with postnatal psychosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), depression and treatment-resistant mental illness. She was prescribed antipsychotics, antidepressants and even received electroconvulsive therapy. At one point, she was told she might have dementia. After years of watching his mum, Hayley, struggle with severe mental illness, hospital stays, and treatments that never truly helped, her son Jay came across an episode of the Dr Louise Newson discussing the impact of hormones on mental health. For the first time, things started to make sense.It led him to question whether hormones could have been the missing piece all along. With persistence and care, he pushed for Hayley to be given HRT, and the results were life changing. Together, Jay and Hayley share their emotional story of misdiagnosis, misunderstanding, and the powerful difference hormone treatment made after decades of suffering.This episode is not just a story: it's a call to action. It highlights the often-ignored link between hormones and mental health, the systemic failures in women's healthcare, and the critical need for change.Please listen, reflect and share.

Episode 3060: Dr. Neal dives into the broader landscape of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), outlining its potential benefits for menopausal women, like easing hot flashes, improving sleep, and protecting against osteoporosis, while also weighing its possible risks. He also explores why testosterone therapy for aging men is controversial and largely unadvised unless medically necessary, offering insights backed by evolving research and clinical guidance. Quotes to ponder: "Hormone replacement therapy may not be as risky as that study found." "For most women, the benefits of hormone replacement therapy may outweigh the risks." "Testosterone replacement therapy in men may increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, like a heart attack or a stroke."

So many women say they're tired all the time in menopause.  Even those who do exercise to improve health, which would include energy levels, will often say, “I'm tired all the time.”   Let me share what I would do, and actually did at the end of 2019 when I found myself recovering from a big year of mental and physical stressors. 80% of the population don't exercise, specifically 80% of women don't lift weights the minimum times per week needed for optimal metabolic health. If you are one of those 20% you should be the most energetic people in the room wherever you go! If you exercise consistently and you're tired all the time, something isn't right. It may be about the exercise you're doing, the fuel you're consuming or absorbing, the way you're handling the stressors on your plate, or a combination. There may be something more going on, but often when you have this “check engine” light going on, addressing some changes will help.   This is the best place to start to address why you're tired all the time in menopause.   1. Stop Exercising “As Usual”  The mentality “This is the workout I always do. If I don't, I will lose my fitness” makes it worse! Even though metabolism changes are documented, pushing exercise to the brink of exhaustion is not the first line of defense in fixing it.  Science states, “The basal metabolism of the female body decreases significantly, which can mean a decrease in the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of up to 250–300 kcal per day.” This inspires a diet mentality that is of the eat less, exercise more, you're not going to benefit from this.  2. Move And Eat In Small Snacks  Small movements (exercise snacks) like walking 10 minutes 3 times a day, instead of a long walk, will be better for overall fatigue. This helps sustain blood sugar levels. If you are suffering from adrenal fatigue, you may have blood sugar dysregulation and you may not have an appetite in the morning. Eating in small snacks throughout the day can stabilize blood sugar levels too. Tired All the Time Isn't “Normal”    3. Track Food To Check On Macro And Micro Nutrient Intake  Cited in studies, key preventive nutrients in menopause are:  Vitamin D Calcium Vitamin C B Vitamins Protein I would also add: Magnesium Omega-3 We need protein and micronutrients to gain lean muscle and strength.   4. Consider Lab Testing For Micronutrient Sufficiency and Cortisol Levels (saliva vs blood, dried or wet urine)  Lab testing will tell if you are sufficient in levels of micronutrients. You can take a look at, are you in norms or are you optimal?   5. Support With Adaptogens To Help The Body Help Itself  Maca, Ashwaghanda, and Rhodiola I found the most benefit personally from Maca. I felt better within a week just taking a morning dose.   These are all steps you want to take whether you are or aren't on HRT. If you're progesterone is low and that's interfering with sleep, it can make a big difference. These things just cover the basics and relate to your exercise and fitness routine.    Additional steps you want to take: Check thyroid levels with a functional doctor. Get a stool test if your digestion isn't what it should be. That will tell you the status of your good and bad gut bacteria and let you know how to feed with the right probiotics so you feed the good ones and starve the bad.  Utilize a health coach who understands optimal levels vs norms of micronutrients. A doctor is necessary to help you interpret many things like thyroid and hormones as well as getting the right tests to begin with.  Seek support from a functional doctor who can recommend specific tests that differ from your traditional physician and help you sort out any of these.    References to Why You're Feeling Tired All the Time in Menopause:  PLoS One, 2024, PMID: 38421977.

In this episode, Brian shares insights from ongoing human aging studies, including clinical trials of rapamycin and how dosing strategies, timing, and exercise may influence outcomes. He presents two key models of aging—one as a linear accumulation of biological decline and the other as an exponential rise in mortality risk—and explains why traditional models of aging fall short. He also explains why most current aging biomarkers lack clinical utility and describes how his team is working to develop a more actionable biological clock. Additional topics include the potential of compounds like alpha-ketoglutarate, urolithin A, and NAD boosters, along with how lifestyle interventions—such as VO2 max training, strength building, and the use of GLP-1 and SGLT2 drugs—may contribute to longer, healthier lives. We discuss: Brian's journey from the Buck Institute to Singapore, and the global evolution of aging research [2:45]; Rethinking the biology of aging: why models like the hallmarks of aging fall short [9:45]; How inflammation and mTOR signaling may play a central, causal role in aging [14:15]; The biological role of mTOR in aging, and the potential of rapamycin to slow aging and enhance immune resilience [17:30]; Aging as a linear decline in resilience overlaid with non-linear health fluctuations [22:30]; Speculating on the future of longevity: slowing biological aging through noise reduction and reprogramming [33:30]; Evaluating the role of the epigenome in aging, and the limits of methylation clocks [39:00]; Balancing the quest for immortality with the urgent need to improve late-life healthspan [43:00]; Comparing the big 4 chronic diseases: which are the most inevitable and modifiable? [47:15]; Exploring potential benefits of rapamycin: how Brian is testing this and other interventions in humans [51:45]; Testing alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) for healthspan benefits in aging [1:01:45]; Exploring urolithin A's potential to enhance mitochondrial health, reduce frailty, and slow aging [1:05:30]; The potential of sublingual NAD for longevity, and the combination of NAD and AKG for metabolic and exercise enhancement [1:09:00]; Other interventions that may promote longevity: spermidine, 17

In this special bonus episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly is joined by FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary to discuss new information on the short- and long-term health benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT, how it can actually help reduce heart attacks and dementia as well as sleep, a 2002 flawed study that scared women about the risks of HRT, new data showing the potential dangers for women of taking antidepressants and SSRIs while pregnant, the potential that it could cause birth defects, shocking information about Chinese gene therapy, the truth about what Makary has uncovered at the FDA about COVID, and more.
