Exposure to mold toxicity affects hormonal balance. You may not have been exposed to mold or you may not know that you've been exposed to mold. That mold doesn't always look like asthma or you getting sick, but it may look like a simple symptom that might be mistaken for menopause. Stay tuned to this episode and learn what mold exposure can do, what it might feel like and why you might simply mistaken your menopause symptoms when they could be so much more! My Guest: Dr. Jaban Moore is a Doctor of Chiropractic located in Kansas City who works virtually with clients through functional medicine to assist them in overcoming chronic health conditions. He went from being an award-winning college athlete to not being able to get out of bed. He sought out countless doctors looking for answers, but doctors only gave him “band-aid” solutions. He was later diagnosed with Lyme disease. After overcoming this complex infection, he helped clients discover the causes of their symptoms. Dr. Moore specializes in Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, autism, parasitic infections, and environmental toxicities.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:13:44] How does mold toxicity specifically impact hormonal balance during menopause? [00:18:45] What are the common symptoms women might experience if mold toxicity is impacting their hormones? [00:22:46] How can women identify if mold exposure is a hidden factor in their menopausal symptoms? [00:30:53] What detox strategies do you recommend for safely eliminating mold toxins from the body? [00:37:08] Are there specific biohacking tools or supplements you like that can support hormones during this detox process? [00:40:03] How long does it typically take to see improvements once mold toxicity is addressed?   Why Mold Toxicity Affects Hormonal Balance More Than You Think   What Mold Exposure Can Do? Fungus that grows on walls, food, flooring, etc. Beauty products, Botox, and lifestyle toxins contribute to a decreased immune system. Disrupts mitochondria, elevates cortisol, blocks melatonin. May cause exercise intolerance due to “backpack of toxins”.   Symptoms of Mold Toxicity Chronic fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, GI issues, hormone imbalances Can trigger inflammation, autoimmune responses Mold symptoms are often mistaken for menopause   Dr. Moore's Detox Roadmap Replenish nutrients (glutathione, potassium, sodium, B12) Open drainage (lymph, liver, bowels) Safe place - remove environmental toxins (air, food, water, hygiene products, dental and implants) Nervous system - address stress and trauma (therapy) Start detox using antimicrobials + binders (e.g., carboxy, pectasol) How long will it take? Mold detox alone: typically 3–4 months More complex cases: can take years Depends on sensitivity and co-infections   Biohacking Tools That Work Infrared Sauna (160°F+) Red Light Therapy Lymphatic Drainage Castor Oil packs, dry brushing More advanced: Ozone Blood Filtering (EBOO), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF), Neural Therapy  Most aren't required, but they speed up recovery   Connect with Dr. Jaban: Website of Dr. Jaban Moore Facebook - Dr. Jaban Moore Facebook Group - True Healing Strategies with Dr. Jaban Instagram - Dr. Jaban Moore Instagram - @redefiningwellnesscenter_ Tiktok - @drjabanmoore_   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - What Is Sarcopenia and How to Avoid Sarcopenia In Menopause Next Episode - Retired Lawyer Shares How to Advocate for Yourself & Loved Ones More Like This - How to Use Stress as a Tool for Hormone Balance   Resources: Don't know where to start?

What is sarcopenia and why is this such an important topic for every woman over 40?  That is the topic of conversation today.  What is Sarcopoenia? Sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone.  Significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and or muscle strength. Sarcopenia is tied to anabolic resistance in midlife women, making it harder to gain lean muscle growth or maintenance after 40. Older adults - both men and women - have to work harder to gain lean muscle mass.  Women have less overall body mass and muscle to begin with and more dramatic reductions in estrogen at menopause, than men experience loss of testosterone.  The key stimulus for muscle protein synthesis, will suffer more from loss of strength and mass if they aren't carefully offsetting it with planned and progressive resistance training.  For women, estrogen protects muscle and bone. We need and use testosterone which is the most abundant hormone in the female body - but it's the decline in estrogen that makes the difference in muscle preservation. What Contributes to Sarcopenia?  Malnutrition. Combined with sarcopenia, it's a predictor of all-cause mortality than sarcopenia alone.  The United States is one of the most overfed and undernourished countries in the world. We're not eating well enough to sustain health.  Sarcopenia is 100% avoidable.  How Do You Measure Sarcopenia? Strength Fat free mass and height Online calculators  There are physical tests or measures that include grip strength or calf circumference.  Women didn't measure or track their skeletal muscle mass decades ago to know where it was at peak. It's harder to say how much mass or strength you've lost.  The Surprising Statistics on What is Sarcopenia On average, muscle loss occurs 3-8% each decade starting at 30. That CAN accelerate during menopause transition. It isn't associated with loss of estrogen driving skeletal muscle protein synthesis down. It's the side effects of the decline of estrogen.  Not sleeping. Struggle exercising as hard or as long  Less support for your muscle from testosterone and growth hormone  Have cortisol, ghrelin and leptin hormone dysregulation that interferes with muscle and fat. We do have the ability to regain lean muscle.  It's proven (and shared in prior episodes) that 85+ individuals can gain both mass and strength.  Available Sarcopenia Assessments: SARC-F  A simple questionnaire that is a good point of reference but an easy assessment if you're active.  How it works: Includes 5 components with scale scores range from 0 to 10: Strength: How much difficulty do you have in lifting and carrying 10 pounds? Assistance in walking: How much difficulty do you have walking across a room, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Rise from a chair: How much difficulty do you have transferring from a chair or bed, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Climb stairs: How much difficulty do you have climbing a flight of 10 stairs? Falls: How many times have you fallen in the past year? Flipping 50 Fitness Scorecard  Helps not only measure strength and muscle mass but to see how you rank according to others in your age group.  Most important is progress, comparing you to you. Start where you are by benchmarking it and learn how to improve it. How is Sarcopenia Diagnosed? Fat-Free Mass Index: FFMI ≤ 15 kg/m2 Visit this URL to calculate (turn on metric to see result): https://ffmicalculator.org/ A strength test. What is Sarcopenia: The New Glossary Osteosarcopenia - low bone mass and low muscle mass Sarcobesity - low muscle mass and high fat mass Osteosarcobesity - low bone mass, low muscle mass and high fat mass  Osteobesity - low bone mass and high fat mass    The biggest risk of sarcopenia is falling due to instability and inability to “right” yourself when slips and falls occur. I promised we'd visit what's possible so here that is: A 1.9-3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with a 4.1% to 5.8% lower fat mass and reduced A1c and fasting glucose in studies lasting 2 weeks to 3 years.   How to Avoid Sarcopenia? Resistance train 2x per week minimum, for some that's maximum. Know your recovery needs. Consume high protein foods and micronutrient dense foods at each meal.   Wouldn't it be wonderful if in 30 or 40 years, “What is sarcopenia?” is a question like “What is scurvy or rickets?” now which is never heard of. That starts with us.    References:  Nutrients. 2023, PMID: 38201856. Sports Medicine, 2025, PMID: 40576707. Advances in Nutrition 2025, PMID: 40222723. Scientific Reports, 2025, PMID: 39833326.

It's no secret in 2025 that stronger muscles lead to longer life. If you're a woman in perimenopause, postmenopause or anything in between, this is no surprise to you. I think we are very aware of it, but let's unpack how weight lifting treats and prevents chronic diseases. Women, at any age, need stronger muscles for a longer life. Not just for aesthetics, but for functionality and independence.   My Guest: A longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor, Michael Joseph Gross has published investigative reporting, essays, and books about culture, technology, politics, religion, and business. He was raised in rural Illinois and lives in New York City.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:31] How did this become a topic of interest to you personally?  [00:07:54] Let's connect strength training to prevention and treatment of illnesses often associated - even accepted - with aging? [00:20:17] Weight training has been shown to decrease anxiety and to have positive effects on risk of Alzheimer's or type 3 diabetes, can you explain for the listeners?  [00:26:31] How has the work of Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh showed that weight training may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? [00:33:13] Why is lifting heavy important? Do you worry that leading with “lift heavy” intimidates women? What did you uncover as evidence that it is never too late to start progressive strength training?   Why Strength Training? Strength training changes more than just your body—it's internal too. It's not about looking stronger—it's about being stronger. Adolescence and menopause are both times when women feel their bodies are changing without their consent. Strength training gives back a sense of control, capability, and power.   Stronger Muscles Longer Life At Any Age   Strong Youth: Peak bone mass forms in youth—strength training in adolescence builds lifelong health. A 10% increase in bone mass reduces future fracture risk by more than 50%.   Strong in Midlife: Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh, geriatrician and professor in Sydney, Australia, found that even 90+ year-olds can gain muscle mass with high-intensity training. Weight training can treat and prevent nearly all chronic diseases.   Stronger Muscles Through Weight Lifting Treats and Prevents These Diseases: Type 2 Diabetes Heart Disease Osteoporosis Depression and Anxiety Insomnia Osteoarthritis Frailty Dementia & Alzheimer's Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Fall Risk   Periodization & Smart Strength Training: Periodization: Cycles of high effort, deloading, and rest. Women (especially Type A) tend to push too hard—leading to burnout or injury. Strength training should energize you, not exhaust you. Part of lifting heavy is lifting light. The goal: Live better, not just lift more.   Ancient Greek Lesson: The Right Time to Train Greek word kairos = the “opportune moment” for action. Good training is about doing the right thing at the right time. Don't blindly follow a plan. Train for your body today.   Connect with Michael: Michael's Website Twitter - DuttonBooks   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This - What's Best Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Resources: Tune in to the upcoming Flipping 50 Masterclass.

If the idea of eating without food rules sounds exciting—but also kind of terrifying—you're not alone. Many women in midlife love the concept of intuitive eating but have no idea how to actually do it. Especially after decades of dieting, perfectionism, and trying to “be good,” the idea of trusting your body can feel like standing on a tightrope without a net. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I break down what's really keeping you stuck when it comes to food. We'll talk about why diets train you to ignore your body, how shame keeps you on the all-or-nothing roller coaster, and what it actually looks like to find the middle road between restriction and chaos. You'll also hear personal stories—mine and my clients'—about what it looks like to slowly, gently rebuild trust in your body and eating habits without swinging into a brownie-eating free-for-all. You don't need more rules. You need a different kind of support. And today's episode will show you what that support looks like.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why intuitive eating feels so scary (even if you want it) How dieting disconnects you from your body's natural wisdom What it looks like to build a supportive eating framework—without going back to restriction How to tell when your body is trying to communicate (and how to start listening)     RESOURCES Download: 82 Reasons You Overeat That Have Nothing to Do with Food Total Health in Midlife Podcast Listener's Guide 8 Basic Habits of Healthy People Guide & Checklist Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/233

In This Episode: midlife burnout, high-achieving women, self-worth, chasing success, how to feel fulfilled, midlife contentmentEpisode SummaryYou know that feeling after you've finished something big—landed the promotion, crossed the finish line, or completed a huge goal—and almost instantly your brain goes: “What's next?”For decades, that was Laurie Reynoldson's default. Achieve something. Celebrate for a hot minute.

Midlife often brings a reckoning with ambition—are we crushing goals or just burning out? If you feel squeezed between chasing your dreams and protecting your wellbeing, you're not alone. For executive coach Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap, relentless overwork led to a devastating health crisis. Now, Amina guides high achievers toward a revolutionary approach to success. We explore the difference between"painful" and "purposeful" ambition and how to recognize when you're operating below your "resentment line." Amina's framework helps you identify the five core wounds driving unhealthy ambition and offers practical tools for honoring your needs while still achieving your goals—without sacrificing your health or relationships. We also explore her concept of "zones of genius," why the healthiest people welcome emotional diversity, and ambition as a force for collective flourishing.

What's up, witches and bitches?!

When Alison stumbled into the world of housing advocacy through a simple volunteer opportunity, she uncovered a shocking reality: 405,000 Australian women aged 45+ are at risk of homelessness, with older women over 65 being the fastest-growing homeless demographic. But rather than accept this crisis as inevitable, Alison and the team at Sharing with Friends are pioneering an innovative co-housing solution that creates both security and community for women in the "missing middle" - those who aren't poor enough for social housing but can't afford to buy their own home.Key TakeawaysThe Hidden Crisis is Real and GrowingWith only 0.1% of private rentals affordable on the age pension, single older women face an impossible housing market. The stereotype of homelessness doesn't capture the reality—many at-risk women are educated, previously housed, and never saw this coming.The "Missing Middle" Needs New SolutionsWomen with modest savings (around $100,000) fall through the cracks—too much wealth for social housing eligibility but insufficient funds to purchase property. Traditional housing models don't serve this significant population, creating an urgent need for innovative approaches that bridge the gap between crisis accommodation and home ownership.Co-housing Offers Security Plus CommunitySharing with Friends' model brings five women together in purpose-built accommodation where each has their own studio unit plus shared common areas. With a 50-year lease structure, women gain lifetime housing security while building meaningful connections that combat the loneliness epidemic affecting single older women.Prevention Beats Crisis ResponseRather than waiting until women are homeless, early intervention models can identify and support those at risk. Understanding your assets, building superannuation, and planning for potential single life creates options before crisis hits. Small consistent actions compound over time to create security.Systemic Change Requires Multiple PlayersGovernment recognition of co-housing models, streamlined planning approvals, and funding support are essential for scaling solutions. But change also needs community advocates, professional pro bono support, and private donors willing to invest in preventive models rather than just crisis responses.Moving ForwardThe biggest tragedy isn't that older women face housing insecurity; it's that we have the knowledge and models to prevent it but lack the will to act at scale. Whether you're feeling vulnerable about your own housing future or secure in your current situation, this issue demands attention. If you're at risk, reach out to your state's housing support services and take control of your financial future.For Women Needing Housing HelpQueensland:  Housing Older Women's Support Service https://howss.org.au/Victoria:  Home at Last https://www.oldertenants.org.au/home_at_lastNSW:  Older Womens Network NSW:  https://ownnsw.org.au/Sharing with FriendsWebsite https://www.sharingwithfriends.org/Donation page https://shoutforgood.com/charities/sharing-with-friendsFacebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/821207472091664/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sharing_with_friends_cohousing/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/sharing-with-friends-foundation/Alison's business website  https://wellthyco.com/Connect with meBook your 20-minute connection call https://calendly.com/jo--138/20min?month=2025-07 RE-IMAGINE: A personalised 1:1 six-week mentoring programme https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/work-with-me Share your journey with me by sending me a message on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/⁠Email me your success story at jo@joclarkcoaching.com. What you do today shapes your tomorrow.

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

If you've ever looked in the mirror and wished you could just divorce your body—this episode is for you. In this soulful and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with the incredible Nina Manolson, a body peace coach and therapist who helps women move from body shame to deep, nourishing self-connection. We talk about the messy middle of midlife—the changes, the cultural conditioning, and the quiet wisdom our bodies have been trying to share with us all along. Nina and I explore what it really means to have body peace (hint: it's not about loving your thighs 24/7). It's about building trust, compassion, and a genuine relationship with the body you're living in right now. You'll hear: Why midlife is such a powerful time to rewrite our body story How emotional eating is actually a signal, not a failure The difference between body positivity and body peace Simple practices to reconnect with your body from a place of curiosity, not criticism Why your body is your greatest guide (yes, even now) This episode is your permission slip to stop the war with your body and start tuning in to the wisdom it's been holding all along. Because when we feel at home in our skin, we show up differently in the world—and that's where the magic begins.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Dan sits down with horseman and author Tik Maynard to answer the question “What does it mean to truly live with purpose?” and to explore what starting a colt, facing fear, and leaning into the unknown can teach us about self-awareness, resilience, and the courage to live authentically. On today's episode and in his memoir Starting in the Middle: How Horses, Those Who Study Them, and 265 Minutes with One Colt Helped Me Find Myself at Midlife, Tik shares his journey from elite equestrian competitor to beginner again—accepting the call to enter one of the most intense horse competitions in the world at midlife. What followed was not only a test of horsemanship but a deep personal transformation. Highlights of Dr. Dan and Tik's riveting conversation include: why the scariest decisions are often the most necessary, how "high involvement, low attachment" is the secret to performance and peace, why authenticity and self-reflection are the foundation of effective leadership, and what horses can teach us about presence, trust, and how to truly listen Tik's story is a powerful metaphor for every human seeking to live more intentionally, lead more compassionately, and grow through discomfort. Whether you're a horse person or not, this conversation offers rich insight into the human experience. Tik Maynard is a two-time winner of the Road to the Horse World Championship, author of In the Middle Are the Horsemen and Starting in the Middle, and an international clinician. Alongside his wife, top-level eventer Sinead Halpin, he runs Copperline Farm in Florida and teaches horsemanship with compassion and authenticity at the core.

She shares with us how she crafts scenes, her penchant for playing with language, why she didn't share with anyone about what she was doing for many years, how a love affair with her main character drove the whole novel, and what she has learned about her own creative process along the way.Shelley Read's debut novel,Go as a River, is an international bestseller that has sold over a million copies worldwide, been translated into thirty-four languages, and is in development for film with the Mazur Kaplan Company. Winner of the High Plains Book Award for Fiction and the Reading the West Book Award for Debut Fiction, Go as a River is also a Sunday Times bestseller, a Goodreads Choice Award finalist, an Amazon Editors' Pick Best Debut Fiction, an Indie Next Pick, and a Colorado Public Radio Books We Love selection, among other national and international accolades. Shelley was an award-winning senior lecturer at Western Colorado University for nearly three decades, where she taught writing, literature, environmental studies, and honors. She is a mom, mountaineer, world traveler, and fifth-generation Coloradan who lives with her family in the Elk Mountains of Colorado's Western Slope.You can meet Shelley in person at the Grand Mesa Writer's Symposium August 8-10 in Cedaredge. The event features numerous workshops and gatherings, including an open mic. For the keynote, Christie will talk with Shelley, the poet Wendy Videlok (a previous guest on our show) and nonfiction writer Tim Winegard about their work.

What do you really want right now? No, not what you “should” want... not what's practical or expected. What do you crave? What makes you feel alive?In the fourth episode of the Reinvention Series, we're diving deep into something many midlife women quietly wrestle with but rarely talk about: desire. Not just sexual desire (though that's part of it), but the deeper, richer kind—the desire for vitality, pleasure, creativity, connection, and aliveness.If you've ever said “I feel numb,” “I've lost my spark,” or “Is this all there is?”—this conversation is for you. We're unpacking why desire often fades in midlife (spoiler alert: it's not your fault), how to recognize its quiet whispers, and how to start reclaiming it—one small, soul-honoring choice at a time.✨ Grab your FREE Companion Workbook: "Becoming Her: A Midlife Reinvention Starter Kit" HERE.Send a Text Message :)

When things start to feel “off” in midlife, it's easy to blame perimenopause. It's easy to accept the advice to slow down—or to internalize the idea that age automatically means decline. But this week's guest, Jen Temperley, isn't buying it. A lifelong triathlete, Jen has faced her share of challenges: unexplained fatigue, weight gain, gut issues, injuries, and symptoms that looked like menopause—but weren't. Through it all, she leaned into curiosity, self-advocacy, and a relentless drive to understand her body on a deeper level. The result? She raced the Ironman World Championship faster at 50 than she did at 40—and continues to thrive in the sport she loves. This week Jen shares the pivotal moments that changed her trajectory, the hard reset she made on fueling, rest, and stress, and what it really takes to rebuild your health—and your power—in midlife.Jen Temperley is a strength, nutrition, and endurance coach with over 25 years of experience working with active women and athletes. A lifelong athlete and competitive triathlete, Jen is currently ranked in the top 2% of her age group, and a 10-time Ironman 70.3 World Championship qualifier. She specializes in coaching women 40+ through the key lifestyle factors that impact performance and well-being; including strength training, fueling, recovery, and the physiological changes that come with the menopause transition.

What if everything you know about menopause is wrong? Former TV journalist Tamsen Fadal joins me on the Habits and Hustle podcast to share how a live television hot flash changed her life and sparked a global conversation about the menopause transition that affects 1 billion women worldwide. We discuss the surprising 100+ symptoms of menopause and why doctors aren't educated about this life stage. We also dive into dating and marriage during menopause, the workplace challenges women face, and why strength training beats cardio for women over 40.

After experiencing a severe hot flash on live television in 2019, she left her 30-year journalism career to educate women about perimenopause and menopause.

We've had it wrong! You're not really bloated!!   My guest explains what ‘bloated' is … and isn't… How your hormones and gut interface happen and why adding protein might NOT be the thing you need to do right now if you're not really bloated.   My Guest:  Shefaly Ravula, PA-C, IFMCP is the visionary founder of Precision Gut Health, a virtual telehealth practice on a mission to unlock the secrets of gut health, nutrition and longevity. At the heart of her practice lies a powerful fusion of functional medicine, culinary nutrition, and a profound commitment to digestive and metabolic health optimization. Using a deeply individualized approach, she is dedicated to guiding patients towards a future where gut health and longevity are intricately entwined—and where vibrant health is not just a destination but a lifelong journey.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:06:57] What is the difference between bloating and distention? [00:20:10] Why stomach acid matters but also why it makes me nervous, as a practitioner? [00:14:44] What is the purpose of an elimination diet and when is it misused or misunderstood?  [00:28:03] In terms of hormones, how important is gut health?  [00:27:40] Chicken or Egg type of question: Do hormones changing influence gut health or does gut health changing influence hormones? [00:30:17] In terms of gut health and hormones, how important is protein?    Bloating vs. Distention? Bloating is a sensation, often tied to hormonal changes, water retention, or constipation. Distension is visible abdominal swelling, often worsening throughout the day.   What is Gut Health? Optimal functioning of your entire digestive system, which includes not just your intestines but your stomach acid, enzymes, gallbladder, and liver   Fix Your Gut Health, Maybe You're Not Really Bloated   Stomach Acid: Essential to digestion. Without enough acid, food isn't properly broken down, which can lead to bloating, distension, and other digestive problems.   Hormones: Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can slow down digestion. Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and DHEA affect gut motility, inflammation, and the body's ability to detoxify through the digestive tract   Protein: With ongoing gut issues, trying to hit high protein goals can add stress to an already compromised digestive system. Timing is key — healing the gut first, then optimizing protein intake for metabolic and hormonal benefits.   What is the Elimination Diet? Helps identify food sensitivities or reduce inflammation.  Designed to be short-term and therapeutic — not permanent. Elimination diets are often misused. Done wrong, they lead to excessive restriction and fear of reintroduction.   Connect with Shefaly: Website - Precision Gut Health Facebook - Precision Gut Health Instagram - @precisionguthealth TikTok - @precisionguthealth   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight or Gaining Muscle After 50 Next Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This – Why Am I Bloated?
