At some point in their life, most women will experience menopause. It generally impacts women between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age New Zealand women will begin to experience menopause being 52. At menopause, the ovaries stop releasing eggs and menstrual periods stop. In most cases, if someone hasn't had a period for 12 months in a row, they are considered post-menopausal. Significant symptoms are experienced by approximately 70% of those experiencing menopause – common ones including anxiety, low mood/depression, hot flushes, brain fog, nausea, and fatigue. Dr Dougal Sutherland joined Jack Tame to discuss menopause, why awareness should be raised around it, and how to support someone dealing with it in the workplace.

In this episode, Erica dives into the latest research exploring how menopause affects physical performance in women—highlighting changes in power and strength. These findings are reshaping how we approach exercise and rehab in midlife women. Next, she shares an update on her dissertation, which compares premenopausal and postmenopausal women on key physical performance metrics. Erica discusses early patterns emerging from the data, including potential implications for exercise training and rehab prescription. She wraps up with a clinical case involving a woman in menopause experiencing persistent neck and shoulder pain, along with difficulty breathing. She breaks down the history along with a few clinical pearls outlining how past injuries have and continue to contribute to this woman's issues. Erica also breaks down her exercise program, discussing the do's and don'ts of exercise progression.   Hormonal changes can contribute to musculoskeletal tension and diaphragmatic dysfunction- we know this. But do we really educate our patients on this? Many do not. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating midlife changes, this episode offers insight, evidence, and strategies for supporting well-being during menopause.   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica' Website Susan's Website

In today's episode I talk about the one thing we as women don't get to hear or discuss enough, and that is menopause.  For the longest the only thing that I ever heard about menopause were the hot flashes that women experience.  I never heard anything about pre menopause until I, myself started experiencing it.  The rollercoaster that we as women, most women go through, is so profound that it should be a constant talk on educating ourselves, sharing our experiences, and what we know about menopause to other women.  Menopausal can seem like a lonely place once it starts to happen and no one should ever feel alone when experiencing it.  A lot of women should know what other women went through so that they too will not feel alone and feel as though something is not right with themselves.  There are so many questions as to how we as women are able to deal and handle going through the many changes of pre menopause and menopause but the great thing is THERE ARE ANSWERS to those questions! Starting with myself, I will get as transparent as I can in this episode on sharing, and helping other women to understand that menopause is not a dead end!

When we enter the autumn of our menstruation years in our 40s and start to experience what many call perimenopause, we can easily think we should keep pushing through even though our bodies, minds and emotional landscape are transforming profoundly.  (Alexandra and Sjanie, the co-founders or Red School call this phase the Quickening, or the autumn of our menstruating years). Our guest today specialises in helping women in midlife recover from burnout so they can rise stronger and thrive longer. Jolinda Johnson is the author of Resilience: 10 Ways to Recover from Burnout and Exhaustion, and works as a Life and Health Coach, as well as a Menopause Coaching Specialist. In today's conversation we explore the four phases of burnout; from feeling wired and tired, to health challenges to full-on exhaustion, all the way to an official burn out diagnosis and major life changes. Jolinda explains how tracking these phases offer us many opportunities for course correction before we find ourselves flat on our back. So this one is for you especially if you're in perimenopause, but it relevant to anyone experiencing burnout in any life phase.We explore:Jolinda's definition of burnout, which is chronic stress without recovery, is characterised by exhaustion, cynicism, and decreased capacity for your life roles. What menstrual cycles changes, as well as other health symptoms can show us about our current levels of burnout. Why we need to set better boundaries with ourselves, and how to do it. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

The relationship between menopause and neurodivergence remains largely unexplored territory in women's health—until now. In this groundbreaking conversation, neuropsychologist A/Professor Caroline Gurvich shares fascinating insights into why cognitive symptoms during perimenopause may signal more than just typical hormone fluctuations.For many women, perimenopause becomes the unexpected moment when long-overlooked neurodivergent traits suddenly demand attention. "About 98% of people said their ADHD symptoms became worse across those perimenopausal years." Even more revealing, numerous women receive their first ADHD diagnosis during midlife, despite having experienced symptoms since childhood. This raises questions about why these conditions often go unrecognised, particularly in women, until hormonal shifts disrupt longstanding coping mechanisms.Listen in to learn more about Estrogen's protective effects on dopamine - a neurotransmitter central to ADHD - which diminishes during perimenopause, potentially unmasking symptoms that were previously manageable. Beyond ADHD, A/Prof Gurvich discusses how autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions may present differently during menopause, and the compelling connections between PMDD, perinatal depression, and neurodivergence.Whether you've wondered about undiagnosed ADHD, experienced increasing cognitive challenges during perimenopause, or simply want to understand the fascinating intersection between hormones and brain function, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical guidance. Listen now to better understand your changing brain and discover strategies to thrive during this transformative life stage.Links:HER CentreHER Centre - Cognition and HormonesMENO-D Assessment Scale to detect depression in menopauseThank you for listening to my show!

Strength training offers a powerful solution to combat menopausal weight gain by addressing the fundamental metabolic and hormonal changes occurring during this life transition. Women can transform their menopausal experience by understanding these biological shifts and implementing targeted muscle-building strategies.• Menopause causes significant metabolic changes including decreased estrogen, redistribution of fat to the abdomen, and a reduction in resting metabolic rate• Muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates during menopause, further slowing metabolism and making traditional calorie-restriction less effective• Building muscle through resistance training directly counteracts these changes by increasing metabolic rate and improving insulin sensitivity• Each pound of muscle burns 5-7 additional calories daily at rest, creating sustained metabolic benefits• Strength training triggers hormonal responses that specifically target visceral fat reduction and improve body composition• Focus on compound exercises: squats, deadlifts, push/pull movements, and core training 2-3 times weekly• Proper nutrition supports muscle development with 1.2-1.6g protein per kg of bodyweight, distributed throughout the day• Women who incorporate strength training report improvements beyond weight management including better sleep, reduced hot flashes, and improved bone density• It's never too late to begin—research shows women in their 80s and 90s can make remarkable strength improvementsJoin our community at www.kore-fit.com and follow us on Instagram @korefitness_AZ.

Myths About Post Menopausal Women That Block Women from What We Need:

biobalancehealth's podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 8, 2025 22:12


See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog If you feel ignored and unheard by your doctor or nurse practitioner, your feelings are correct!  As a group women are not listened to and often dismissed as emotional and not smart enough to understand “complicated” medical information, by the Misogynistic American medical community, the US governmental agencies who make the rules for what women need.  If you feel unheard and dismissed by your doctor, your impression is probably right, and you need to vote with your feet and leave that doctor for someone who listens to you and treats your symptoms and conditions that undermine you and your productivity. The Myths that the majority of people believe are created by men and broadcast by premenopausal women and the media who have no first-hand knowledge of the problems that women contend with when they become pre-menopausal. Here are just a few of the lies and Myths that we must contend with. Women love the freedom of being in menopause! No worry about pregnancy or bleeding.  LIE Women can't become president's companies or the President of the United States because we are going to hit the red button to destroy the world because we experience PMS before menopause, and after we just can't think or make educated decisions. LIE Symptomatic Menopausal Women are Over-reacting to a “normal” Phenomenon that “strong” women take in their stride. LIE Women complain about menopausal symptoms to get attention. LIE Women's menopausal symptoms are really from psychiatric disease. LIE Women who complain of bleeding all the time don't need a hysterectomy! Just use medication (that doesn't work). LIE Women's menopause symptoms are from behavior problems. They need counselling! LIE Menopause should be a wonderful time of your life! Right!  LIE All these LIES are damaging to the women who need medical treatment.  We don't need name-calling, subtle dismissal of our symptoms by our doctors, one size fits all non-medical treatment like vitamins and herbs, or basically categorizing our physical symptoms as imaginary or mental which allows doctors to be excused from treating our hormone deficiencies. No sex drive, painful sex, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, fatigue, hot flashes and sleep disturbances, migraines, loss of muscle weight gain and fatigue, depression and anxiety are physical symptoms of menopause and pre-menopause, that can all be treated with estradiol, testosterone and in some cases progesterone replacement.  Menopause and the years leading up to it CAN BE TREATED safely and effectively but we aren't offered treatment by the doctors who work for our insurance companies! Refusing to provide the hormones you need at menopause is denying you the treatment for literally losing the hormones that made you, YOU is not only disturbing but scary! Medical care includes the replacement of waning hormones The only differences between menopause and testosterone loss and hypothyroidism,  Cortisol deficiency (Addison's disease), Parathyroid deficiency, Growth hormone deficiency in children are all paid for by insurance and doctors willingly treat these illnesses because they are not only paid to do so but they have taken a Hippocratic oath to treat the symptoms and diseases of the patients who come to them.  However, in my office I hear the struggles that women have had getting treatment for their symptoms.  Their doctors generally use the excuse, “I don't believe in hormones.” So, they get out of treating half of their patients over 50.  Hormonal treatment isn't a religion, it is a condition that 50% of the population will have in their lifetimes. If your doctor is a PCP Primary Care Physician or OBGYN, then they have the training and the duty to treat you.   Sadly, these lies have sculpted how women are looked at in the American and English-speaking countries.  Misogynistic beliefs are meant to keep women in a second-class status. The result is ignoring the simplest and the most affordable menopausal treatment -Estrogen and testosterone- and profit from our menopausal pain by serving up very expensive treatments for each of the many complaints secondary to menopause that no women can afford.  eg: one drug for dry vagina, another for just hot flashes, a third for4 the mood changes that occur with menopause, and another for osteoporosis.  All these symptoms can be treated with a combination of testosterone and estradiol, and you can get your sex drive back too! If you think that your government is going to help you , remember the leaders  in US government are mostly men who buy-in to the destructive misogynist group think! Lie #1: Women love the freedom of being in menopause!  No worry about pregnancy or bleeding anymore. Menopause might have been a relief from bleeding every month however, we no longer worry about childbearing before menopause since the birth control pill was created in the 1960s.  In contrast the women of the first half of the 1900's before Birth control, because menopause stopped women from having unwanted or unaffordable numbers of children. In reality, women living 100 years ago rarely lived past age 45 for women so most women didn't live to experience menopause!  Women suffered then but they were gagged by societal rules, and no one cared how they felt after childbearing years.  Now we are very integral to society at any age, not just for childbearing, and menopause is not freedom or enjoyable! We need one all encompassing answer.  The answer is long-acting estradiol and testosterone pellets that can resolve all these symptoms and make the years of a woman's life after menopause like any other era. Lie #2. Women can't become presidents of companies or the President of the United States because we are too emotionally unstable.  Women are portrayed as unreasonable, hysterical and unreliable. LIE! The belief that women can't be a CEO or president of an organization, or of the US, because we are too emotional before menopause, and after menopause we are not competent to make decisions, is based on uneducated beliefs and old wives tales (really old husband's tales).  We are more competent than men before menopause because we can think of more than one thing at a time, and act on the information, and because we have outstripped men in high school and college class status for decades. As for after menopause, we are at least as competent to lead if we have our menopause treated as men who are aging and becoming addled. If we had the information that has been kept from us about the treatment for menopause, and if we were encouraged to get treatment instead of disparaged by our doctors of both sex in the US, and the US government, then we could hold any position we are qualified for, probably better than men.  Even the “Societies” that say they are for women don't seem to be when they publish articles like the one, I read last week from the Medical Journal called “Menopause” women need counselling not medical treatment for the symptoms that we “imagine”.

Reasons Why You Can't Interpret Your Own Lab Results

biobalancehealth's podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 8, 2025 23:09


See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog There is a new federal rule for lab companies that requires them to report your blood tests to you as soon as they are finished, often even before your doctor has seen them.  This rule, deemed unreasonable, was established by individuals without medical expertise (politicians), who know little about interpreting lab data or the workings of doctor's offices. Sending your lab results to you before doctors can assess them is not a decision rooted in sound medical practice but rather in the notion of individual freedom. While this is important, it does not compare to having an expert interpret your results with you. The law requiring that your lab results be sent to you as soon as they are completed does not consider the fact that these results are not designed for laymen to interpret. Additionally, lab results are meant to be analyzed alongside a patient's medical history, age, gender, and medications.  The results are not tailored to report information specific to your situation, which is how a doctor would interpret them. Lab results often lack layperson-friendly explanations. This new protocol can cause anxiety, as patients may panic over results that appear abnormal, even if they are normal for their specific medical condition and treatment. Furthermore, lab companies only request your age and gender. The factors that doctors evaluate when interpreting your results are diverse and numerous, each influencing the overall interpretation. What are the considerations that doctors add to their interpretation? Menopausal status Medical conditions Healthy normal for young and healthy adults The newest recommended ranges for health Body weight Other lab values seen on the same report The problem with you getting your own lab and interpreting it as written is multifactorial: The lab is sent to you digitally with very little explanation except for reference ranges. There is no information about who you are being compared to. Other women, both men and women? Old women? Young women? Women with symptoms or women who are well without symptoms.  The reporting of the lab results to a patient directly may hide problems that need action or create fears that are unnecessary. Anxiety over your results will continue until your doctor's appointment to discuss … so you may experience unnecessary worry in many circumstances. Reference ranges make many assumptions, but labs don't input vital information about you into their computer. your age of menopause, your weight your height (or BMI) previous illnesses and your medications. if you are on hormones or testosterone   Here is a good example. The test for pituitary hormones FSH and LH. When a woman aged 45 is menopausal, and has a very high FSH and LH, the lab says it is “normal” (in the reference range), yet the woman is having severe hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia.  That is not healthy or “normal”. The same two tests can be used to determine if a person is menopausal. Let's say a 42-year-old woman has elevated FSH and LH, but her estradiol is very high (200-300). To the layperson, this looks like menopause, but in reality, it is the picture of ovulation, not menopause. One has to look at another test, estradiol, to determine whether she is premenopausal and ovulating or menopausal (her estradiol would be very low, and FSH and LH would be high). See the problem? Reference Ranges don't tell you what the doctor is looking for. The same two tests, FSH and LH, are used to diagnose polycystic ovaries (PCO) too.  In women without PCO, the FSH is higher than the LH, but if the LH is greater than the FSH, the diagnosis of PCO should be considered! There is no information about this interpretation in the lab report. Falling within the reference range doesn't guarantee health or absence of symptoms. If patients are to interpret their own lab results, reference ranges should reflect health in every possible scenario. FSH and LH are influenced by BCPs and menopausal HRT. Lab results should be interpreted considering the information regarding BCPs or ERT that the patient is taking. When women are on BCPs and HRT or ERT, their FSH and LH levels are suppressed to an extremely low point. If you are unaware that the patient is taking these hormones, it may appear that the diagnosis is pituitary failure affecting estrogen levels and ovulation. Only doctors can interpret this test. There should truly be a “normal” range for those undergoing hormone replacement therapy, along with a reference range that reflects overall health, rather than merely the average for your geographical area in the US or your age group. Please make an appointment with your doctor to review your lab results so you can understand how they are interpreted. If you have questions about your lab results that are concerning you, schedule a time to discuss them with your doctor. Doctors don't have the time to explain results over the phone or through email—that is what appointments are meant for. Phone calls to doctors' offices are not intended for lab result interpretation. You or your insurance will not compensate the doctor or NP for this service over the phone.   The reference ranges for many tests and medical situations are actually wrong. If you aren't trained as a doctor or Nurse practitioner who interprets metabolic lab results every day, you could get the wrong diagnosis!!! For example, when evaluating a patient for insulin resistance, the reference range was officially changed almost two decades ago. Still, the lab companies have left the normal range very high (insulin> 18). In the revised range, fasting insulin diagnoses insulin resistance if the value is > 10. The resulting outcome is that many people are not diagnosed at a time when they can be easily treated without drugs and are told that they are “normal” when they are really experiencing insulin resistance. This is misleading and just wrong! Lab values are not adjusted to your individual situation.   Many tests are adjusted for gender; however, some are specifically adjusted for women who are menstruating regarding H/H. In other words, men and women have different “normal” H/H levels in the reference range. Women who do not menstruate or who are menopausal should be compared to the same reference range as men, but that does not happen. This leads to menopausal women, who are normal, often being told they have too many red blood cells when that is not the case. Conversely, menopausal women who are truly anemic are told they are normal, which means it takes longer to diagnose their anemia from colon cancer! The H/H should have a reference range that is considered “normal” for a woman's stage in life, depending on whether she is experiencing menstrual periods or not. Many reference ranges are averages for regions of the US and vary between lab companies; therefore, they are not reliable values for comparing patients.   For instance, the Homocysteine test has a normal range that is relatively high, and each lab has different reference ranges. This test serves as a screening tool for MTHFR genetic risk related to embolic stroke and heart disease.   The suggested treatment involves methylated B vitamins; however, the interpretation on the lab printout advises taking B12 and folic acid, which, in my experience, tends to increase the number rather than decrease it. Reference ranges for nutrients, vitamins, and minerals reflect the minimum levels needed for survival, not optimal health. For example, B12 reference range levels for B12 blood levels are listed as 200-1100 pg/ml, yet I was trained to try to achieve 400 -1500 pg/ml. The lower range of the written reference range (200-400) is not healthy. The desired blood levels for vitamins are often controversial, and various medical colleges issue new recommendations on Vitamin D levels each month. Consequently, doctors must determine which level of Vitamin D to recommend for their patients. These institutions not only provide changing reference ranges but also offer differing advice on how frequently to test Vitamin D. This inconsistency arises primarily from the ongoing debate about the minimum acceptable level of Vitamin D. I have more information about your lab results next week that your doctor may not share with you. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the reference ranges on the lab sheet, and you should know the truth in case your doctor doesn't.

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.
