Menopause is often painted as the end of something, but it's really a new chapter—a time to rediscover your strength and embrace what's next. Today, we're diving into the real, unfiltered stories and tools that can make this transition not just manageable but empowering. I'm sharing my own journey through early menopause at 39 and the powerful lessons I've learned from healers around the world. And with two incredible women joining me, we're breaking down the stigma and showing you what's possible when we take control of our health and our narrative. Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, a Best-Selling Author and a trailblazer leader in women's health, opens up about the changes no one talks about, like prolapse, and how we can take charge of our pelvic health. Tamsen Fadal, Journalist and Menopause Advocate, brings insights from her PBS documentary The M Factor—a powerful project giving women and doctors the tools to tackle menopause head-on. Together, we're getting real about the challenges and offering practical ways to find balance, feel supported, and thrive during this stage of life. By the way, if hormonal changes have you noticing hair loss, I've been there too. That's why I created Beauty Locks, a natural formula to support hair growth and quality for all hair types.

If you're struggling with a hormone imbalance, resist the temptation to just throw more hormones into the mix to try and fix it. In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Dr. Anna Cabeca - The Girlfriend Doctor, about how environmental toxins and stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, leading to issues like irregular periods and feeling unwell. But, did you know that it can take more than hormones to fix hormones. The good news? You can improve your hormonal health and even reverse many of these issues naturally. We explore the importance of detoxification to eliminate those toxins and support your body's natural systems. Dr. Cabeca also highlights that birth control pills might contribute to hormonal imbalances due to synthetic ingredients. But hormones are just one piece of the puzzle. This episode emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach, including diet, stress management, and even creating a more alkaline body environment to improve mood and mental well-being. We also dive into the power of oxytocin, the "love hormone" and how healthy activities can naturally boost your oxytocin levels. Overall, this episode offers guidance on balancing hormone health whether you're pre-, peri-, or post-menopause.

If you struggle with abnormal menstrual cycles or feel bad all of the time, it can be turned around. You will likely need to work on detoxing from any environmental toxins. We often power through feeling crummy, but you will realize how bad you feel once you start feeling good. Birth control can be a toxin as it is a synthetic progestin and it suppresses ovarian hormone and natural cycling. (Progestin is the synthetic (human-made) form of progesterone). It takes more than hormones to fix your hormones. You need detoxification support, adrenal support, dietary support, and alkalization for mental health and mood. Oxytocin is the most powerful hormone in the body. It is the hormone of love, bonding, and connection. Healthy, happy, joyous activity increases oxytocin in the body (it's the opposite of cortisol!) Some people may benefit from supplementing oxytocin, but the first step is to always clean up the system.

Questions We Answer in This Episode: As time passes, many women think - may be even led to believe by influencer memes - that forgetfulness, mood swings, and loss of desire are just a normal part of the aging process. What do you have to say about that? Are there elements that make it worse? And can we make it better? How key is cortisol for you in your experience treating patients with menopause symptoms?

Easy healthy habits coming up! Yes, exercise! However, what if it was easier than that to get more energy and boost your overall well being? We do certain things regularly. Your daily routine and mine are probably very similar day to day. That is what you do this morning in the first 10-30 minutes of your morning is probably similar to what you do every day. What if you could take 50% of those habits and make them more beneficial? Without lifting a weight or breaking a sweat? Even 20% healthier… What would that do for you? Twenty percent more energy, 20% less tired, 20% more focus during your morning activities.. you get the idea. This episode is all about the small upgrades that have become daily habits for me over the recent months and years. I'm sharing them with you here in the hope they make you reflect on what you're already doing that could make you healthier easily! The problem with so many choices is often vetting out the quality products from the opportunists. It's making sure it's healthy – especially if you do it daily. I hear you when you say it's overwhelming and there's another one around the corner. I don't fall easily. When I do I fall all the way. So, I've vetted for you the ones I love. Easy Healthy Habits for 2023 Anyone else start the hot water within minutes of waking most days? With adaptogens you won't even know are there, your hormones are getting a boost with every sip of Four Sigmatic Coffee. Listen to my recent Flipping 50 podcast with Danielle Ryan Broida to learn more about adaptogens, specifically mushrooms, and you'll wonder why we aren't all doing these simple things daily. Recently what I've noticed from testing my blood sugar levels (first thing, after whatever is in my mug is that my blood sugar responds better to coffee than to matcha if they're treated equally. That is, I add coconut milk and a dash of stevia to both or a don't, but to both. The value of a wearing a continuous blood glucose monitor(CGM) for a month is priceless if you're a woman in midlife flirting with insulin resistance. Anyone can do it. I'll provide a special link I use with clients and students so that they can benefit as we work together. For instance, right now our members are going through a month kickstart with me using CGMs. If Coffee, Then This If I choose coffee and matcha isn't in my mug first thing (or second, after about 16 ounces of lemon water, sole, or apple cider vinegar) it's going in a pre-workout shake. Matcha is the perfect combo of chill pill and alert hocus focus. It's a little easier on my gut personally than usual acidic coffees. (Though Four Sigmatic by the way is low acidic compared to other coffees). Currently, I juggle the dual needs of my gut and blood sugar. When isn't that true in life. I do find that when my gut is in good shape, coffee is not a problem. When I both drink coffee responsibly (2 mugs is my limit), and have optimal gut health, I can do it fine. Since I switched to matcha in my morning mug two and a half years ago, with the exception of maybe 6 mornings, my gut feels better, and overall, I feel better all day. I don't have that same short-lived pick-me-up from coffee or what I'd describe as a gnawing my gut. I enjoy sustained energy and a calmer gut. I'll link to a video I shared with the Flipping 50 community back in 2015 about research on Matcha's fat burning boost potential. Whether you're doing interval training – as in the study- or strength training, which I think we can safely extrapolate to say - the combination of matcha before the activity is also going to elevate fat burning after significantly. AND…. However, there are dozens of matcha makers now. Just one is quadruple screened, Pique Tea. And it matters. Heavy metals, mold, and other toxins are common due to the way matcha is grown, and many brands aren't pure as they claim, while others don't even claim to be! They've added fillers (like brown rice!?) and have very little matcha. If it's something you do every day, pay extra attention. We have more everyday stressors now than ever even when we're conscious of them. Going Green Enhancing your alkalinity is one of the best things you can do for your health, and any weight loss goals. Especially if you are trying to do low carb – as in keto. I personally recommend my clients bump their veggie intake to 6-9 cups a day. That would shock a carnivore community, I know. It's the balance to additional protein from animal sources required to maintain muscle. Doing so will bump your acidity. Optimal pH levels are conducive to health. Acidic environments are conducive to disease. Challenged by the idea of that many veggies? Mighty Maca, from my friend – shall we say our community friend, Dr. Anna Cabeca – is a way to bring in another adaptogen PLUS get the alkalinity we want and need for a healthier body. You can't lose weight, and keep it off, with the kind of energy and feelings of freedom we want- with habits that sabotage your health. Knocking your inner environment into acidity, exercising to burnout, soreness or couch compensation will not help. Dr. Anna's Mighty Maca meets a trilogy of needs. First, this greens powder where she's tucked a dose of the adaptogen maca, requires a liquid. My favorite way to drink this is just in a tall glass of water or dumped into a small bottle of water as I leave the gym – it's not been uncommon for us to workout together and after I've provided the exercise sequence, she has a sleeve of Mighty Maca in her pocket. I shake and go. Boom – it's already helping to hydrate and make it easy to drink another 8-16 ounces because it's got a lightly lemony fresh taste. This is not your toxic crystal-crap but it's the same type of convenient packet. The maca – is an adaptogen I have used myself for almost 30 years – blended into smoothies, or taken in capsules from my friends at Femminessence (if you prefer), or this way. This is a game-changer for women in midlife. If you're adrenals are taxed… and you're not doing it, consider it daily but not off your grocery store shelf. There are 11 strains of maca and you need a clinical grade of specific types. The greens – Dr Anna knows it's hard to fit in 6-9 cups of veggies a day for most women (my recommendation for women in midlife) and that with a need for more PROTEIN than they've ever needed – or been aware of before – there's an equal need to boost veggie intake to achieve a better pH balance. Her book Keto Green-16 outlines the benefits of a keto diet (at least short term) for women AND the need for pH support while you do it. Want to understand this better? Don't miss an interview with Dr Anna January 11, 2023. (I'll link to the registration page. I'm inviting Dr Anna to answer a few questions about this and more. And we're going to talk about stress, hormones, and cravings, and how to juggle what you want with signs and symptoms. Seeing this later? Miss it and want it? Let us know! Secret Sauce for Hair, Skin, and Libido Midlife changes in hair (thinning and loss for some women), skin (thinning making visibility of wrinkles and reduced elasticity), and reduced desire for sex (dryness or pain) are common among women in our community. I started something for improved recovery from exercise (due to mitochondria health) that I was skeptical of AND yet tried it anyway. Before I go further, you need to know, I'm a tough sell. I feel pretty good. Most of the time, I think, “this s*# works” .. the formula I created for women over 50 just works. So, I have no crazy card to play for bringing women back from the dead… or losing 100 lbs.., other than, if we remove the obstacles (overtraining, undereating, undersleeping) and improve the amount of stimulation for muscle, bone and your brain, we're going to have improvements. Sometimes that's 100lbs off, others it's 10lbs and 14 inches, others it's energy and libido back. I didn't count on a hair or libido kick, but I got one. I began taking C60 Purple Power just before my move in May actually. And I haven't stopped. In three weeks I noticed thicker hair and my stylist noticed I had new hair growth (brown not gray) at my next appointment. I started taking c60 for the mitochondria support we can all use as we age. AND… my vision is better, too. I DO recover better from exercise though it took me a minute to realize it. I'd started doing high intensity high impact intervals a little more often. (3 or 4 as opposed to 1-2 x/week) and no down time. There was no hobble off the couch. So, it went unnoticed and appreciated until I got thoughtful about the fact that I earned a little soreness that I didn't have. How I Do It My favorite way to add C60 is a few drops into my coffee (cinnamon flavored is to die for!) or matcha mug (coconut oil) in the morning. That's it. Nothing extra or new habit just… it's sitting beside the coffee or matcha, so I don't miss it. (Recently there are gummies – I still prefer the drops) You could if you prefer use avocado oil on salads (but I have another avo oil I love instead and fear I'll forget later in the day). You can also now use a rollerball application on your face and neck! LOVING that!! Linking to a video for you here. Look, I'm 59 in a couple months, I've got wrinkles … but I do get compliments on my skin regularly and this has given me a noticeable difference. I like the inside-out method vs topical personally! Superpower Energy My breakfast or pre-workout snack of choice lately is a little almond or coconut yogurt substitute (no sugar added, and no soy please) with Flipping50 protein powder and … a new product from Timeline Nutrition, Mitopure. It's a derivative of pomegranate but you could never eat your way to this much. Little packets of powder (or capsules if you prefer – which I do not!) can be added to a smoothie, or in my case, I stir the berry-flavored powder right into my high protein pre-workout yogurt bowl. Here's what I've noticed… after 3 weeks. Just a reminder, I'm a tough sell. I already do a lot of things to my advantage as witnessed above/before this point in the episode! But I feel more stable energy all day. I am really enjoying this heightened desire for moving. I can't even explain it! I'm an 8x Ironman…so yes, I naturally may like to move more than the next person. Yet, I've gone through exercise intolerance, cortisol imbalance, and adrenal stress during my menopause transition. I get better results now in about 3 hours of exercise a week than I did with 20 just a couple years ago. That puts a girl at a point where less is more and compliance is easy! I'm different with Mitopure. A little more alive. If you can't tell, I'm struggling to put words to the feelings. But with no other changes in my routine, this has really been a bit of a surprise. I'm sometimes quick to say no, not interested. But the research is too compelling in this case. So openminded, expecting nothing, I'm pleasantly surprised. And again... it's easy. That's the biggest test for me. Lunch and Dinner Upgrades Eating organ meats? Me either. Planning to? Me either. Look, I AM that girl who does certain things because they're good for me. But I'm not doing liver or gizzards or anything of the sort. So, my chef friend (who cooks for the likes of Barbra Streisand and Tom Cruise) dreamed up this ingenious way to infuse organ meats into spices you'll love. I sprinkle the Garlicky one on salads, veggies, meats, and seafood, even eggs on the occasion I have them. I stir it into a garlic aioli dip I make. That just about covers my meals! Chef James Barry's Pluck is amazing. All the benefits of organ meats – potentially one of the most nutrient dense foods available – without the hassle or smell. (Use the code: FLIPPING50) Last but not least, are you still using olive oil? I know, Olive oil, olive oil, olive oil… right? But a large percent of olive oil is not good for you, it's rancid. Yet, they sell it off the shelves like hot cakes to people thinking they're virtuous and Mediterranean! Ava Jane's Kitchen woke me up to this sad truth several years ago and I switched to avocado oil, which is better for the high temps I often use anyway. On occasion I'll use an expensive EVO or coconut oil, but I'm cooking most with Avocado oil. The AJK Colima Sea Salt from Ava Jane's is an experience! It's super coarse. You use your hands to crunch the salt. I use it on all those roasted and grilled veggies and on pizza crusts or chips made from brown rice tortillas. You can try it or join the club and have it delivered at the right frequency based on your cooking needs. These are great gifts for the foodie, or healthy foodie too. None of these daily little additions are “extra” or crazy. They're just an upgrade from what you may have sitting on your shelf that can boost your health and wellness without a drop of sweat or breathlessness. If you're a skeptic, I get it. How nice to dream that just eating healthy from the garden or farmer's market, avoiding processed foods, and getting exercise, time outdoors and sleep are enough. In the moment we're in, the chance is slim that though these habits are the foundation, we'll need to reduce toxins in and around us now and in the future. The benefit though is more energy and more you than you may realize you can experience. Your Turn I encourage you to go through your day, your typical day. Where could you upgrade? Could an easy health boost come from the type of coffee or tea you start your day with the oil, spice, or salt you prepare food with. Consider what you wish was different or better about now, even if it's good. In our show notes today, you'll find many links to the trusted resources I share.

On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, we had a conversation with Kristina Hess, a premier health coach and licensed clinical nutritionist who's passionate about a ketogenic approach to treat inflammation and restore metabolic health. She's also the host and founder of Keto Symposium, the first low-carb conference in New York City. Adapting a ketogenic lifestyle can prevent diabetes, heart disease, cancer, menopausal symptoms, brain fog and mood swings. It can also help with weight loss and autoimmune disorders. Having a keto green diet is mandatory for brain health and cognitive function. A keto green diet promotes a metabolic state where you're burning fat preferentially over sugar. Eating a lot of protein is key, along with lots of greens and other vegetables. Once you reach a state of ketosis, you no longer experience hunger cravings for carbs and sugar. It's also important to drink lots of water between meals and keep your grain intake high as well.

We have an endless opportunity in our lives to really shine and it's all about progress, not perfection. Progress is what gives us juice in life.” “The time to hydrate is in between meals, typically two hours after you've eaten. Stop 20 minutes before you eat and drink no more than four to six ounces with your meal.” To learn more about me and to stay connected, visit the links below: Website: The Girlfriend Doctor Instagram: The Girlfriend Doctor

With her methods, you, too, can breeze through menopause into your “second spring”, feeling the best you ever have. What is Menopause? While many think menopause is a period of time, it actually isn't. Menopause is the actual day that is 12 months from your last period. There are different stages you go through around the day of menopause, these are known as peri menopause and post menopause. This is a time of neuroendocrine vulnerability, your glucose uptake increase and your progesterone plummets. This can begin as early as our mid 30's and comes with a multitude of symptoms. Symptoms The symptoms during the stages of menopause can vary from person to person and in severity. Because we are all different, we can't pinpoint the exact things we will go through, but here are some common signs: hot flashesmood swings, depression and anxietyweight gainsleep disturbances and insomniairregular menstrual cycleschanges in hormones as seen through blood work Stages of Menopause As we said, the actual name menopause is the day that lies 12 months since your last period. Here are the stages that lie before and after that day: Pre menopause- this is the period before any symptoms of peri menopause begin. This is the time of main reproductive years for women. Peri menopause- this is the period of time when you are experience menopausal symptoms. It can be anything mentioned above and on average starts anywhere between 35-55. Menopause- the day that is exactly 12 months from your last period. Post menopause- this is the period of time after the day of menopause. However this all can be tricky because the terminology needs some work. For example, what happens when you've had a hysterectomy? Are you in post menopause even though you haven't naturally entered that stage? More work needs to be done in this area. How long does menopause last? The main stage of menopause, which is peri menopause, can last anywhere from 5-15 years. This again can vary from woman to woman. What Is the Best Diet for Menopausal Women? There are a lot of opinions when it comes to women and menopause, especially in the diet area. But according to Dr. Anna and the work she has done, she treats her patients with a keto green diet. This consists of: dark green leafy greensno sugarlow carbohydratesfoods t...

Before we launch into this episode, I want to set this up for you: it's not about weight. It IS about your health. It's about your life and you living it. There are a lot of unhappy skinny people. There have been a lot of fat people who've lost weight that fear regaining and still don't love themselves or their life. 00:00 So, my hope is that before you listen to this episode about hitting a weight loss plateau, you have the right perspective. Weight can have a significant impact on health. A recent podcast with Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson Why Menopause Weight loss is So Hard and How Your Brain is Taking Over pointed out that we've broken a record. Due to the pandemic, we've reached a 50% obesity rate. It's still getting worse, not better. We were headed there, just not this fast. We all want to look good. Have you ever been praised or complimented for not? But be sure you're in a good place here. Obsessively thinking about, talking about, weighing your food, thinking about what you will eat/won't eat, knowing the calorie counts to everything… and how many calories certain activities burn? This is not a health goal. Let's listen with the right frame. 01:56 My Guest: Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is best selling author of The Hormone Fix and Keto-Green 16.

This is especially important for those who are most weight loss resistant. 08:23 Once you've looked at all the obvious: not exercising enough exercise too much (if you're savvy to hormones you know this) eating too much or too much processed foods eating too little (if you're savvy to hormones you know this too) midlife women will ask…What can cause a weight loss plateau?
