This week Colleen and Bridgett are doing things a little different.  After many requests for our personal experiences with perimenopause, menopause and midlife, we are updating our stories.  We are also adding in a holiday cheer! The episode will begin with our annual "Can Bridgett Guess the Cost?".  Each year, we explore the Neiman Marcus Holiday Gift Guide (Extravagant Gift section) and Colleen shares a few of the most expensive gifts from the catalog.  Bridgett then attempts to guess the actual costs of the items.  From a custom Hummer to a 30 carat diamond, this year's items are even more luxurious.  Try to guess along with Bridgett and see how you do. We also talk about what is happening in our midlife journeys.  Bridgett's periods made an appearance again after 6+ years and she explains why and what she has done about it.  Colleen's night sweats are back with a vengeance and menopause is still a lofty goal far from reach.  We are honest with a little touch of humor.  Share your stories with us at hotflashescooltopics@gmail.com Please subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-flashes-cool-topics/id1481021446 Take a look at our website: www.hotflashescooltopics.com

Six million people in America are experiencing Alzheimer's. Two-thirds of them are women. My guests, Maria Shriver and Dr. Lisa Mosconi, are championing an increase in research, raising awareness and providing resources about this topic to find out why. The Alzheimer's spotlight falls twice yearly because it's just that important: November for National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month, and June for Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. A lot of the research happening to understand Alzheimer's can benefit everyone. It can teach you how to lessen inflammation in your brain and get a handle on or prevent immune and metabolic brain disease. When you learn how to do that, you unlock cognitive performance and longevity. Maria and Dr. Mosconi offer some great insight and practical tips.Maria Shriver is a champion of Alzheimer's awareness. For two decades she's been reporting, writing and fundraising for it, specifically relating to how it impacts women. She founded the The Women's Alzheimer's Movement, a nonprofit that brings together doctors, researchers and brain experts to support Alzheimer's research, clinical trials, and information sharing. It also provides public education, prevention tips and tools for brain health.“I think what happens is that there are small moments along the way that we all disregard,” Maria says. I think the challenge to be present in our own lives is a challenge, really, for all of us. The challenge to take note of our health is a challenge for all of us.”Dr. Mosconi is a neuroscientist and neuro-nutritionist focused on brain science, the microbiome and nutritional genomics, specifically the early detection of Alzheimer's. Her research on women's neurological health has changed the way science approaches the female brain. She speaks to the more than 10 years of research that shows Alzheimer's starts with negative changes in the brain years – if not decades – before any clinical symptoms emerge.“It's really important to take care of ourselves, and our brains are really one of our most important assets,” Dr. Mosconi says. “And the best way to engage in prevention is now. It's never too late to start, but the sooner we start doing it, the better.”Learn even more about how Alzheimer's affects women and what to do about it:Maria Shriver On Why Alzheimer's Is A Woman's Problem – #497The Women's Alzheimer's MovementThe Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer'sWomen, Menopause and Alzheimer's: XX Brain Connections with Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D. – #675lisamosconi.com“The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease”“Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Flipping50 membership is a labor of love in response to frustrations I heard for years with my own private clients and the hundreds of women in midlife training with staff members, then later the thousands of women I know weren't wrong when they said, “I'm not settling” and “I'm not going to listen to a young male (or female trainer) tell me that I must be cheating or to stick with it even if I feel like crap.” Women in menopause and beyond if nothing else are not afraid to speak their mind, and not willing to put up with something that is not working and doesn't make sense. As I release this episode, the Flipping50 membership is open and it's the best time of the year to take advantage of a special Black Friday Event.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease Tel Aviv University (Israel) A new Tel Aviv University study reveals that hyperbaric oxygen treatments may ameliorate symptoms experienced by patients with Alzheimer's disease. "This revolutionary treatment for Alzheimer's disease uses a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which has been shown in the past to be extremely effective in treating wounds that were slow to heal," says Prof. Uri Ashery of TAU's Sagol School of Neuroscience and the Faculty of Life Sciences, who led the research for the study. "We have now shown for the first time that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can actually improve the pathology of Alzheimer's disease and correct behavioral deficits associated with the disease. (NEXT) Scientists discover that CoQ10 can program cancer cells to self-destruct A promising study shows that this nutrient causes cancer cells to self-destruct before they can multiply – giving rise to hopes that it can be utilized as an important integrative therapy for cancer patients.  Let's take a closer look at this wonderful scientific work. CoQ10 “reminds” cancer cells to die Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – which supports many indispensable biochemical reactions – is also called “ubiquinone.”  This is due to its ubiquitous nature – CoQ10 is found in nearly every human cell, with particularly high concentrations in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. Researchers report that the out-of-control replication characteristic of cancer cells is a result of the cells' lost capacity to respond to programmed cell death, or apoptosis.  (NEXT) Study suggests hot flashes could be precursor to diabetes Analysis of Women's Health Initiative data demonstrates effect of severity and duration of hot flashes on risk of developing diabetes The North American Menopause Society Hot flashes, undoubtedly the most common symptom of menopause, are not just uncomfortable and inconvenient, but numerous studies demonstrate they may increase the risk of serious health problems, including heart disease. A new study suggests that hot flashes (especially when accompanied by night sweats) also may increase the risk of developing diabetes. Results are being published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS). "This study showed that, after adjustment for obesity and race, women with more severe night sweats, with or without hot flashes, still had a higher risk of diabetes," says Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, NAMS executive director. "Menopause is a perfect time to encourage behavior changes that reduce menopause symptoms, as well as the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Suggestions include getting regular exercise and adequate sleep, avoiding excess alcohol, stopping smoking, and eating a heart- healthy diet. For symptomatic women, hormone therapy started near menopause improves menopause symptoms and reduces the risk of diabetes." (NEXT) Garlic extract may help obese adults combat inflammation University of Florida Aged garlic extract may help obese people ward off painful inflammation and lower cholesterol levels, a new University of Florida study shows. In the UF/IFAS study, scientists divided 51 obese people who were otherwise healthy into two groups ? those who took the aged garlic extract for six weeks and those who took a placebo. Researchers encouraged participants to continue their regular diet and exercise routine during the experiment. Research showed the garlic extract helped regulate immune-cell distribution and reduced blood LDL ? or "bad" ? cholesterol in the obese adults. Aged garlic extract modified the secretion of inflammatory proteins from immune cells, Percival said. (NEXT) Having children can make women's telomeres seem 11 years older George Mason University A recent study by George Mason University researchers in the Department of Global and Community Health found that women who have given birth have shorter telomeres compared to women who have not given birth. Telomeres are the end caps of DNA on our chromosomes, which help in DNA replication and get shorter over time. The length of telomeres has been associated with morbidity and mortality previously, but this is the first study to examine links with having children. (NEXT) Scientists uncover why sauna bathing is good for your health UNIVERSITY OF EASTERN FINLAND Over the past couple of years, scientists at the University of Eastern Finland have shown that sauna bathing is associated with a variety of health benefits. Using an experimental setting this time, the research group now investigated the physiological mechanisms through which the heat exposure of sauna may influence a person's health. Their latest study with 100 test subjects shows that taking a sauna bath of 30 minutes reduces blood pressure and increases vascular compliance, while also increasing heart rate similarly to medium-intensity exercise. (OTHER NEWS NEXT) Biden's Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals' Incentive Payments for COVID-19 By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. and Ali Shultz, J.D. – ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. November 17, 2021 Upon admission to a once-trusted hospital, American patients with COVID-19 become virtual prisoners, subjected to a rigid treatment protocol with roots in Ezekiel Emanuel's “Complete Lives System” for rationing medical care in those over age 50. They have a shockingly high mortality rate. How and why is this happening, and what can be done about it? As exposed in audio recordings, hospital executives in Arizona admitted meeting several times a week to lower standards of care, with coordinated restrictions on visitation rights. Most COVID-19 patients' families are deliberately kept in the dark about what is really being done to their loved ones. The combination that enables this tragic and avoidable loss of hundreds of thousands of lives includes (1) The CARES Act, which provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and (2) waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In 2020, the Texas Hospital Association submitted requests for waivers to  CMS. According to Texas attorney Jerri Ward, “CMS has granted ‘waivers' of federal law regarding patient rights. Specifically, CMS purports to allow hospitals to violate the rights of patients or their surrogates with regard to medical record access, to have patient visitation, and to be free from seclusion.” She notes that “rights do not come from the hospital or CMS and cannot be waived, as that is the antithesis of a ‘right.' The purported waivers are meant to isolate and gain total control over the patient and to deny patient and patient's decision-maker the ability to exercise informed consent.” Creating a “National Pandemic Emergency” provided justification for such sweeping actions that override individual physician medical decision-making and patients' rights. The CARES Act provides incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol. The hospital payments include: A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital. Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis. Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital. A 20 percent “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin. Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated. More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19. A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.

Menopause is THE Most Neglected Topic on Earth Have you ever given any thought to just how terribly neglected the topic of menopause is? Whether you consider on an individual, familial, or societal level, menopause is undoubtedly THE most neglected topic on earth. In this podcast, I'll explain just how bad it is.

Hot flushes. Night sweats. Weight gain. Insomnia. These are generally the first things that come to mind when we think about menopause, but did you know that the changes in oestrogen levels during this time also affects cognitive function, memory, and mood as well? Today Emma Sutherland talks with clinical neuropsychologist, researcher, and author Dr Nicola Gates about menopause, particularly the impact oestrogen has on brain function. They discuss the connections between oestrogen on memory and depression, as well as how to support our patients going through this transition, and the value of reframing menopause in a positive light.

TV and radio presenter Melanie Sykes has just announced that she's been diagnosed with autism at the age of 51. She says it's 'truly life changing, or rather life affirming… and so many things make sense'. She tells us more. Colin Pitchfork, the man who murdered and raped Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth but was released from prison recently, has been sent back to jail for breaking his licence conditions. We speak to the former Justice Secretary, Robert Buckland, who always maintained that Pitchfork should remain behind bars. We also hear from Dawn's uncle, Philip Musson. David Salmon comes onto the programme to talk about his wife, who took her life last year after suffering extreme menopausal symptoms. He wants other men to pick up on signs that the women in their lives may be struggling. We have the fourth episode of our series on toxic relationships. And we hear why thousands of midwives took to the streets at the weekend to voice their concerns about safety. Kay King from March With Midwives Alliance and White Ribbon Alliance UK speaks to us.

About ten years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. This resulted in some major changes that I made to my diet and lifestyle in order to feel better. A decade later, I no longer have symptoms of Lyme. So it is possible to overcome this chronic disease. Today's guest is full of information on how you can do the same!   About Lindsay Christensen Lindsay Christensen, MS, CNS, CKNS, has her B.S. in Biomedical Science and her M.S. in Human Nutrition. She has successfully completed a 1,000-hour supervised experience program for the Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential, an esteemed credential for healthcare professionals with an advanced level of education and experience in nutritional biochemistry and medical nutrition therapy. Lindsay enjoys working with a diverse array of clients. Areas of expertise include nutrition care for complex chronic illnesses, including Lyme disease and CIRS, food sensitivities, and gastrointestinal health issues.  Lindsay is an avid researcher and writer. When her nose isn't buried in the latest nutrition science and medical research, she can be found backpacking, skiing, and rock climbing in her beautiful home state of Colorado.   Clues That You May Have Lyme Disease While the tell-tale bullseye rash is the most obvious and well-known symptom of Lyme, it doesn't always present itself. Lindsay explains that Lyme can show up in a number of different ways. There could be other types of rashes from co-infections. Sometimes it feels like a case of the flu or fatigue. After some time, cognitive dysfunctions can crop up. There's also more information emerging around Lyme disease-related gut issues. Bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, and indigestion can all be related to Lyme disease too. Unfortunately, eradicating chronic Lyme disease is no simple matter. Lindsay describes how Lyme is a very complex bacterium that can cause all sorts of havoc.   Building a Healthy Immune System with Your Diet While medication certainly plays a role in treating it, Lindsay has seen the benefits of implementing nutrition and lifestyle protocols as well. When put into place, these support a more robust immune system and help it handle the infection. Because so much of our immune system starts with gut health, addressing your dietary needs is the most important place to start. While many other treatments will certainly help, you're just making recovery all that much more unlikely if you ignore the needs of your gut. By reducing inflammation, your immune system will be better supported in tackling this infection throughout your body. This means limiting refined sugars, flours, processed seed oils, and dairy. This all helps to create an environment in which your immune system can help do its job of keeping this infection in check. Have you experienced Lyme disease? In what ways has it impacted your health?

It can look like just about anything else other than a Lyme infection.” [13:45] “For somebody who's been dealing with Lyme for a long period of time, it becomes a lot more complicated to treat. It becomes more like belonging in terms of turning around somebody's health and treating that infection.” [21:46] “It's not just a matter of ‘boosting' immunity. In many ways, it's more of a balancing act that needs to happen because the bacteria that causes Lyme can do different things to the immune system.” [24:18] “I view nutrition as creating this foundation to rebuild your health after having dealt with Lyme. We need to have good gut health in place to have our immune system function properly.” [38:27]   Review Fed and Fearless on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode of the Office Visits with Dr. V, we meet Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Auma “Kess” Thongteum. We discuss why women get hot flashes, lifestyle factors that can contribute and ways to reduce the severity of hot flashes in your daily life without medication.    [00:02:38] Kess Discusses Why Women Get Hot Flashes [00:05:00] Who is Auma “Kess” Thogterums? [00:07:54] What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Or Reduce The Severity of Hot Flashes [00:09:30] Lifestyle Changes That Can Reduce Hot Flashes [00:13:45] Medications Given To Those Experiencing Hot Flashes [00:14:35] Women Who Should Not Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy [00:17:34] Herbs and Non Prescriptive Medications [00:19:59] Let's Talk About Soy & Breast Cancer [00:22:00] Hot Flashes Don't Always Start at 51 [00:23:45] Follicle Stimulating Hormone Diagnosis of Menopause, Yay or Nay? What Can We Do To Get Rid of Hot Flashes OR Make Them Less Extreme The average age a woman goes through menopause is 51. Many women experience what they consider temperature changes such as getting warm and others as extreme as hot flashes and these can happen at a variety of ages, such as their '30s and even'70s. Before these fluctuations in temperature are labeled as hormonal related due to menopause there are some factors to rule out. One place to begin investigating is how well your thyroid is functioning, then, we look to lifestyle changes and stressors. And, before prescribing medicine we need to determine if there are alternatives such as some lifestyle changes you can implement. Even if you have an estrogen imbalance, there are still things you can do to reduce hot flashes before you even get to prescriptions. Some examples of lifestyle changes is reducing caffeine intake, reduce the amount you smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and eat spicy and sugary foods.   Links and Resources: https://officevisitswithdrv.com Show Transcript ------------------------------ Thank you for listening, please like and share this episode with a friend!

This Flipping 50 Insider question comes from Joy who asks about any difference between post menopause fitness and menopause fitness recommendations. She wrote: I've been following Flipping 50 for some time and enjoy it! One question, do the same rules apply to post menopause (66) as to menopause? Thanks! -Joy The easy, short answer, is yes they do. Menopause fitness rules (we prefer formula, as in After 50 Fitness Formula™) do apply to post menopause fitness. If anything, in post menopause you have a little more latitude and will be supported by: Increased amounts of low-to-moderate activity And you'll also have greater increased urgency in need for: high intensity interval training reaching muscle fatigue adequate protein sleep The reasons for that may or may not be obvious so I don't want to skip over them assuming you've got this. The greatest volatility in hormones occurs during perimenopause for the majority of women. (Though this isn't an “always” rule. It may not apply to you). Because of this, during perimenopause there can be a greater frequency of symptoms including: Fatigue Insomnia Weight gain Bloating Constipation Brain fog As well as others, but these are the most likely to influence exercise negatively So, adding “more” exercise even if it is low-to-moderate exercise during perimenopause could simply add more stress and take you in the opposite direction from your goal. Any “rules” only apply as if you follow a blueprint that you can personalize. You're not following a rigid plan that ignores the data your body gives you. That's simply reverting back to exercise programs designed for everyone. You've never needed exercise intensity more in your life than now. These are key: High intensity interval training Strength training to muscular fatigue Reaction skill types of movement Mobility Low-to-moderate movement Resources: You Still Got It, Girl strength videos, with the option to add Fast Twitch Interval Videos to it Muscles in Minutes strength videos with the option to add Boxing videos and mobility videos to that For being a podcast listener, you can use this code for a limited time to use or share with a friend for 15% off either of these options. 15podcast [not combinable with other specials/not applicable to sale items.

Hi all! Jess here. I met performer and voice educator Cate Frazier-Neely through a mutual friend earlier this year, at a Sungazer concert. I was at the concert because my son is a massive fan of Sungazer bassist and YouTuber Adam Neely and Cate was there because she’s Adam Neely’s mom. When the topic of conversation turned away from my son’s hero worship of her son and toward writing and publishing (doesn’t it always?) she revealed she’d made ALL THE MISTAKES when self-publishing her first book, and, of course, I sensed an opportunity for an episode.As this is a podcast all about flattening the learning curve for writers, I asked her to come on and tell us all the ugly details about publishing her book so we could learn from her mistakes.

Rebekah Brown is the founder and chief guinea pig of MPowder, the world's first plant-based supplement powder range crafted to target the three distinct biochemical stages of the menopause. Rebekah's personal struggle was the starting point for this entrepreneurial adventure, as she started to suffer in her early forties from varied symptoms that neither she or her doctor could make sense of. As a researcher and planner in the creative industries, she threw herself into a quest which led her to experiment with functional foods, and then into creating her own nutritional supplement, a powder she first ground herself in her own family kitchen - a time she says other family members would rather forget. She likes to say that MPowder is on a mission to reframe midlife as a superpower. Launched in September 2020, the brand went to market in the UK with their first supplement, called Peri-Boost, a product born from curiosity, co-creation and community.In this personal and in-depth interview, Rebekah talks through her experience with perimenopause, how she launched in the middle of the pandemic, her funding experience - both as a woman founder and in the femtech space - and how she inadvertently became a spokesperson for menopause. She talks to Anne about how her team is co-creating the products not only with specialist doctors and nutritionists but with the support or feedback of their dedicated community. The two discuss the biochemical aspects of this life transition, the emotional journey women go through, before touching on how yoga, meditation and movement have helped Rebekah on her mindful journey through this life cycle.A wonderful, funny and touching interview.  Enjoy! ***Selected links from Episode: You can find MPowder at https://mpowder.store/Follow them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mpowderstore/and Facebook Perimenopause - https://www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/perimenopause-rocky-road-to-menopauseHRT - Hormone Replacement Therapy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone_replacement_therapyWetsuit - a song by the Vaccines Bloody Brilliant People, the book - https://www.harpercollins.com/products/bloody-brilliant-people-the-couples-and-partnerships-that-history-forgot-cathy-newman?variant=39256119115810Carol Ann Duffy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Ann_DuffyAnd her book the World's Wife - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Wife***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and also helps to secure future guests.

What does it take to heal your hormones? There are many factors for sure. A big one boils down to your mindset. Today's guest explains how to approach this by doing what you need to heal your hormones while letting go of harmful, rigid, and restrictive rules.   About Olivia Wagner, RD After years of her own struggles with autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, mold illness, eczema, IBS, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and amenorrhea, Olivia often felt frustrated and lost in her best steps for healing. Through Olivia's advanced training in Functional Medicine and experience in working with over a thousand clients over the past eight years, she fully recognizes the complexity of experiencing health symptoms and is confident in the process of healing to get you well. For the past twelve years, Olivia has studied the science of food and how it interacts with every cell in the body. Her background includes a strong foundation in nutritional and exercise science, advanced training in integrative and functional medicine, and certificates in mindful/intuitive eating practices allowing for a deep understanding of the relationship between food, body, and mind. Olivia calls herself a nutrient seeker but believes that nourishing your body is as much an art as it is a science. She speaks to breaking down the walls of food shame and diet culture, establishing empowerment around food choice, and discovering how to befriend food and body again – finally starting to enjoy the terrain of nourishing with confidence.   Harnessing Judgement-Free Healing Your mindset has a huge impact on how you feel, whether or not you have a chronic illness. Olivia wants anyone healing their hormones to focus on mindset. Our limiting beliefs influence our actions and what comes our way. Before anything can change for the better, you need to believe that change is possible. Throughout our conversation, Olivia describes how she helps her clients bring awareness to their experiences in judgment-free ways. By reframing your situation so that it becomes a learning opportunity rather than a failure, you'll realize that healing is within your power.   Embracing The Discomfort Needed to Move Forward This isn't necessarily going to be a pleasant process. Olivia knows just how uncomfortable it can be to reset your mindset and take control of your health. She speaks to how she urges her clients to be open to the inner work and have the faith to try different things, even if they feel uncomfortable.  While your goals may be big, your actions often don't need to be. Small but consistent changes will add up. Olivia describes a number of little habits that you can apply to many situations that will get your health moving in the right direction.

Dr. Stephanie interviews Jennifer Van Barneveld-Pe aka Coach JVB who helped her prepare for the Strong Fitness Magazine cover. They go over resistance training, why it's impossible to build muscle on a low-calorie diet, and how to structure your build phase for optimal results. You'll understand the importance of cardio, how to build an X Frame, and why training your upper body is absolutely crucial. Finally, Dr. Stephanie and Coach JVB will reveal the mindset around failure training, the power of coaching, and take you behind the scenes of the cover shoot experience and the reverse diet that D.r Stephanie adopted right after.  We'd like to thank our sponsors, Athletic Greens - redeem an exclusive offer here: athleticgreens.com/stephanieOrion Red Light Therapy - get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE10” https://www.orionrlt.ca/?ref=StephanieLumen - get $25 off your order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE25” https://www.lumen.me/?fid=1799Ancestral Supplements - Use Promo Code “ASA10” for 10% off any purchase https://shop.ancestralsupplements.com/discount/Tribe10?rfsn=5900205.652074&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=5900205.652074Some of the links above are affiliates which means that making a purchase through them won't cost you anything - in fact, you get a discount for being a valued listener to the Better!

Susan from our Flipping50 Insiders group on Facebook asks a question about lowering cortisol levels and I respond in this episode. Who You Ask for Advice Matters Be sure when asking in a group where you don't know the experience, expertise of the responders (and they don't know if they have enough information to respond back to you) that you filter the information very selectively. You put yourself at risk if you treat everything you hear from strangers as a round-up of good ideas. If you have a specific problem, unique background, it makes sense to get a specific recommendation made by consideration of history, status now, and relationship with an expert you trust. Just a bit more: I want to point out – and be sure you understand all is said with respect – we want to be careful simply asking in a group for random suggestions without fully knowing the background, depth of the knowledge of contributors, or certainly any responder has all the information they need to respond, can lead you to faulty information. There are two things I'll address in this short episode: Lowering cortisol levels and improving sleep Asking the right question (of the right people) Member of the Flipping50 Insider's group? Here's how to access or join this free group. Looking for support with sleep yourself? Or want a more wholistic approach to stress from all sources? Here's how best to 1) use a group, and to 2) ask a question, as well as 3) my response to Susan about lowering cortisol levels Question: Anyone have any advice for lowering cortisol levels? I have taken Debra's advice and have replaced her recommended workouts for yoga/Pilates/walking, etc. I'm up every night 2-3 hours and know I have elevated cortisol levels from stress. I think I am an HSP (highly sensitive person) and have struggled in the past to lower my c. even though the stressor is long gone. I've tried every OTC sleep aid imaginable - both supplement/herb/etc. I was hoping not to have to get an Rx for this, but I am getting discouraged and am chomping at the bit to get back to regular workouts. Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you!! - Susan Answer: I don't have enough information here about your current habits to offer any suggestions. So, it is very important for anyone commenting to realize this is not the best way to reach a solution for an individual. What we might get is simply a roundup of other people's random knowledge from a wide variety of sources, some credible and some not. A trained health coach will often answer your question with a question. Someone who's not a health coach will respond only with an answer, that may or may not be right for you. Information Qualified Health Coaches Need Before Reponding: 1) your daily habits 2) what you've tried - and whether that has been systematic and sequential and with adjustments until ruled out 3) are you open to hormone supplementation? in which case testing would help because you'll know what you want to do with the information 4) what time is the waking? liver activity occurs 1-3am, and if the waking is correlated, may indicate that you need support for your liver with dietary changes and some select supplements you may want to consider 5) it also can mean low blood sugar issues are occurring.  Is Lowering Cortisol Levels the Right Question? So, your question seems to be about cortisol- but have you tested the cortisol? Do you know that's the issue for sure, and the only issue? Low progesterone, low pregnenolone, magnesium deficiency, inadequate carbohydrate at dinner, a need to support liver function (a few things do this), as well as your sleep hygiene could be the reason. You want to get sleep, but the first question you have to ask is, what is the cause of the sleep problem, before going to the sleep solutions. It's important to ask the right questions. Random actions get random results. So, let's make sure you put together a plan of action that gets you specific answers to the right questions. But it can be dangerous or a waste of time to ask for random suggestions from anyone who does not know you, your daily habits, your history. Once you have shared that information with a health coach you've established a relationship with (when you have an ongoing problem this is the best way to deal with it). You need to look at whether you need to: reduce cortisol levels so you can go to sleep your cortisol levels are off because you can't sleep cortisol is your root cause problem or it's something else Solve the Problem: Identify what the problem and question really are confirm the true root cause of the problem establish a plan know what you are open to as possible solutions. There's random searching on GOOGLE and YouTube. Then there's joining a group and asking a lot of people similar to you having similar problems what they've tried (unsuccessfully or successfully) that also isn't a very targeted way to reach an answer for your personal needs. I've joined many forums for menopause women and some I can barely stand because the information and questions there are so disturbing to me! It's what often is referred to as the blind leading the blind. Be sure if you have a problem, you identify the best question to ask, then ask an expert, rather than someone in the same spot as you are. For personal answers you may need to establish a client-coach relationship.

It's not just about how much protein. It's about what kind, when, and what phase of life or training you're in that could increase your protein need. In this episode, how much protein and when you need it as a woman in menopause.  It's still not clear for many so I'm going to attempt to clarify this for you again. We also struggle internally! Cover the wide controversy and reason you still question protein needs Dissolve the biggest challenge you may be have in your mind How much protein do you need? RDAs say .8g/kg body weight or .3 per pound          Significant body of research disagreeing and contesting that this recommendation is far too low for good health, particularly in aging population Protein research says 1.4 to 1.5g/kg body weight (about 120-130 a day) Per meal requirements at least 30 gm per meal – a per meal dose Who needs more protein? Weight loss attempt/dieters          “Whenever you're talking about weight loss, you should always base protein needs on body weight, not percentage of calories,” says Donald Layman, PhD, professor emeritus of nutrition at the University of Illinois. “Percentage of calories is very misleading. Drop your calories and protein can easily dip below minimum levels. Keep the amount of protein the same and it can be considered high protein on one diet and low protein on another, yet it's still the same amount of protein.”          Breakdown that occurs with dieting or sensing starvation occurs 50/50, that is about 50% muscle and 50% fat to survive. Dieting on a high-carb diet like the food guide pyramid you'd breakdown 35% lean tissue and 65% fat. If you go on a high protein diet your muscle tissue breakdown drops to 20% while fat breakdown increases to 80%. Add the right dose of exercise and recovery and you get less than 10% muscle breakdown. So suggestions for boosting your fat breakdown and reducing muscle breakdown during weight loss effort: Watch your percent body fat and the amount of lean muscle mass. Don't drive yourself crazy. Weigh and record once a week. Then look closely at your muscle, fat, and habits if you're not reaching your goals: Are you getting the required amount of protein daily? Do you need more protein at meals? Support from protein powder, or an amino acid supplement? Do you reach muscle fatigue during every set of exercise twice a week? Do you have enough exercise volume – 3 sets of exercises for major muscle groups? Are you allowing enough recovery between resistance training exercise? In most weight loss groups where there is exercise – where walking, walking and Pilates, or strength training, only subjects with resistance training held on to lean muscle mass and experienced least amount of losses. It takes both high protein and resistance training. Especially as you age. ** High carb is basically RDA standards, High protein is only perception and based on if you reduce calories but keep the amount of protein you eat similar. Older adults (over 65 significantly at risk for sarcopenia) Injured or ill Inactive adults (need high protein nutrient dense even more than active) Under stress (losing weight is a stress) Type 2 diabetes Osteoporosis Obese Why do older adults need more protein? Reduced muscle protein synthesis Potential reduced activity (resistance training stimulates muscle protein synthesis) More easily in a catabolic state (women in menopause with less estrogen and more susceptible to negative effects of stress) Osteoporosis Sarcopenia (#1 reason for frailty is this significant loss of muscle and strength that occurs with aging unless mitigated) When do you want your protein? When you've established how much protein, the question is when? Evenly distributed throughout the day (not all at once) Positive protein balance only lasts for about 4 hours after eating. Bookending strength training workouts Higher for 24 hours after strenuous exercise Studies show ingesting protein before workouts increases energy expenditure after workouts (so as well as boosting strength and lean muscle it supports fat loss) How much can your body absorb at one time? About 15 grams of essential amino acids or 30 grams of protein per meal minimum (to stimulate muscle building) Can't handle more than 50g What makes a protein high quality? It's not just how  much but what kind of protein you need. Higher essential amino acid profile (you have to eat less of it to attain the same results – meaning a if you eat low quality sources like those from plant foods – you have to consume overall more calories, more carbohydrates, or more fat) Ease of protein digestibility More creatine (for muscle, mental benefits) – very low in plant 3-9 for seniors – higher levels 9 grams per day Greater anabolic response Supports positive nitrate balance (note below) The value of RDA for older adults is debated since its establishment was based on nitrogen balance studies. It doesn't offer specific recommendations for older adults, who seem to need higher intakes of protein to maintain metabolic homeostasis. The nitrogen balance method is based on the fact that proteins are fundamentally composed of nitrogen, which, after being metabolized through transamination and deamination reactions, is mainly excreted in the urine and, in smaller quantities, in the feces and skin. According to this paradigm, when nitrogen intake exceeds its losses, a positive balance is achieved, which favors Muscle Protein Synthesis. On the other hand, a greater excretion of nitrogen defines a condition of negative nitrogen balance, which puts you in a catabolic state. Suspected the current RDA is insufficient to prevent muscle atrophy in older adults because it's insufficient to put you in a positive nitrate balance. What are the highest quality food proteins?Organ meats Wild meat (bison, elk, venison, etc) Pork Eggs Why do certain proteins in midlife cause women digestive? Change in hormones causes change in gut biome Reduced stomach acid and enzymes Leaky gut - permeability Dairy (including whey) Eggs Soy Why not whey? Insulin sensitivity if you're using it for meal replacement Skin issues and food sensitivities (seen with gas, bloating, increased inflammation) Poorly produced Other ingredients Isn't filling (because its rapidly absorbed) Why not just collagen? When you're looking at your collagen and counting that in your daily total, it isn't included in your "how much protein" for lean muscle and body composition improvements."  It isn't a complete protein. Collagen does not have a great enough amino acid protein. It's wonderful for hair, skin, and nails. If given the right collagen strain (there are 5) it can benefit gut health. The essential amino acids (9) and then there are 3 that are BCAAs and one that seems to have the greatest impact which is leucine. You want about 2.5 grams of leucine per meal. Taking BCAAs alone doesn't help. You need all the essential amino acids. What's the problem with plant proteins? The number of carbs and calories consumed to reach protein quota (problem creating a calorie deficit) Carb sensitivity is common for midlife women Satiety can't be attained (fullness before reaching protein levels but not satiety) What is Protein Theory”? Signal to eat more protein, or eat more, until your body has reached adequate protein levels   What if you can't possibly eat enough protein? Food, protein shakes, and if still not then, boost your protein synthesis with amino acid supplements for high protein boost, the satiety, sleep aid, without the calories. But you also don't achieve the same dietary micronutrient boost from high-quality protein sources. Example of Combining dietary protein with amino acid supplements You eat a protein – half is essential amino acid (that's if it's high quality – but may not be true for lower quality proteins) Amino acid supplements – not “technically” protein For instance eating 90 grams of dietary protein then adding AAs 20  =  110 grams of protein But the supplements… it's 100% amino acids 20 grams of protein So you are getting a richer essential amino acid content. However, yes, eat whole foods that support all your micronutrient needs! The equivalent of what would be true for 40 grams of protein. How can you get more protein without tons more calories/plant-based diet? Amino acid supplements (see below if you're ready to try) What if I can't digest protein very well? (many older adults can't due to reduced stomach acid & enzymes) Digestive enzymes (Betaine HCL) How much protein at breakfast(and what)? Yes, it's ideal to break your fast before you workout at high intensity Not nothing, not coffee, and not high carbs: not even oatmeal The question of Kidney function Only for those with existing renal disease (eg. Those with diabetes at increased risk) a high protein diet may not be appropriate.
