 With Menopause Awareness Day around the corner, todays episode was the perfect opportunity to bring some essential attention to the often-overlooked topic of pelvic floor decline in menopause.Our pelvic organs and vaginal tissues contain a high Oestrogen receptor sites, and as we move into peri-menopause and menopause, the decline in Oestrogen can significantly impact these areas.

In this episode, the focus is on menopause and peri-menopause and offers an empowering discussion on why pelvic floor health undergoes dramatic changes during this massive life phase.Professionally and personally I have witnessing a tidal wave of women grappling with severe hormonal symptoms, disrupting well-being, sexual health, and our intimate relationships. I struggle to understand why as a society we are not better preparing for and supporting our women through this exciting but often turbulent transition.  In this episode we discuss the hormonal shift women experience during menopause and peri-menopause, specifically the reduction in Oestrogen production. Combined with the deeper mental and emotional transition beyond the fertile period of life this time is delicate,  intricate and mentally and physically stressful. I explore how we mask the monumental transition of menopause to 'being a hormone thing' rather than other significant life transitions, such as puberty or early motherhood. We need to better understand the internal stress our bodies and minds go through.Our pelvic floor health is deeply affected by these changes. Increased stress and hormonal fluctuations often lead to increased pelvic floor muscle tone, pelvic congestion, pain, increased urine frequency and UTI's etc. This can, will and does disrupt the breathing cycle, core strength, and overall body well-being.Let's learn to listen to your pelvic floor and your body overall. Let's learn to adopt a holistic approach to managing and navigating symptoms. While medical interventions like HRT or topical Oestrogen can offer immediate relief, understanding and restoring hormonal balance internally is crucial. And here is that link to register for Novembers project where I want to help you better connect with your body to odies through breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and connecting with your pelvic floor:www.FitFannyAdams.com/NOVEMBER or drop me a message at @fitfannyadams.Connect, I'd love to hear from you! x Sj

In today's episode, we discuss the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and local oestrogen in all types of gynaecological cancer patients. Many women after ovarian, womb, cervical, vulval or vaginal cancers feel that they are left out of the conversation and research as so much emphasis is on the breast cancer community. So, here we are with a laser focus on menopause after gynae cancers and we hope this episode is helpful. We are joined by Mr. Vikram Talaulikar, an associate specialist at the reproductive medicine unit in University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and hon. associate professor at University College London. He explains that menopause after gynaecological cancer treatment is more challenging because it occurs suddenly and the symptoms are often more severe and persistent. We discuss the data and safety for the use of HRT and local oestrogen for:1) Ovarian cancer2) Endometrial cancer3) Cervical cancer4) Vaginal + Vulval cancerEpisode Highlights:00:00 Intro.13:05 HRT now considered for more cancer patients.14:04 HRT generally safe for most ovarian tumours.19:58 Prefer HRT after 12-24 months post-treatment.22:09 Cervical cancer: treatment options hinge on type.30:24 Post-surgery, vaginal oestrogen often necessary; discussions important.33:32 Research non-hormonal treatments before using vaginal oestrogen.38:39 Ideally see a menopause specialist early after cancer diagnosis.42:34 Sarcomas contraindicate hormone use.44:50 Holistic menopause care includes non-hormonal and local treatments.49:18 Discuss options with GP, oncologist, or nurse specialist.Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub A big thanks to our trusted sponsor, The Better Menopause.

One of the hardest things to deal with as you get older is changes in your skin health.Oestrogen is our 'youth hormone' so as we go through menopause, declining levels can mean more wrinkles, less elasticity and more pigmentation or ‘age spots.'These hormone changes plus the accumulation of years of sun exposure, pollution, toxins, stress and other factors can all show up in how our skin looks and feels.Issues may be ‘managed' by topical creams or aesthetic treatments, but your skin is a mirror to your inner health. Your diet, lifestyle and environment can have a big impact on skin health.

Exploring the phenomenal range of roles estrogens play with respect to our metabolism – a range that is only just beginning to be understood. With Deborah Clegg, Texas Tech University

This week on the podcast Dr Louise is joined by Dr Felice Gersh, who is double board-certified in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine, and specialises in female health, with a focus on managing female hormonal dysfunctions. She is the author of the book PCOS SOS: A Gynecologist's Lifeline to Naturally Restore Your Rhythms, Hormones, and Happiness, and recently published a paper on oestrogen and cardiovascular disease, and a 2021 paper on HRT. Here she talks about the family of oestrogens and the important role of hormones on the heart. Finally, she shares three tips on improving heart and whole body health: Eat a lot of phytoestrogen-containing foods - so every kind of plant in all the different colours, including beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables. They are nature's gift to us. Sunlight is like happy medicine. Try to get sunlight in the morning, midday and watch the sunset every chance you get. This will help you to sleep better, make more serotonin, and help to set your master clock in your brain, which tends to drift when we lose our oestrogen production. Move. Your fitness status is more predictive of healthy longevity than your blood pressure. Think of your fitness, strength, flexibility and balance as a critical part of your life so get active in every way you can. You can follow Dr Felice on Instagram @felicegershmd.

Ironically, women are stereotyped as 'emotional', but in reality we are often only allowed to exhibit emotions we feel safe to express around other people.In perimenopause your fuse might be shorter than a stick of dynamite and you cant keep a lid on the boiling pot of emotion that bubbles inside of youWhy? Why now in your 40's are you losing your cool in work, at home, with the kids, the husband, partner or even the dog? Because your good girl hormone has left the building! Yes our little friend Oestrogen is responsible for making sure you stick to the rules of being the nice one, but she's leaving you high and dry and you're left with some serious rage that seems to come from nowhere. This surge of emotions is not a fault; it's a compass guiding you towards the areas of your life that need attention.In this episode I'm going to explain how you can reclaim your emotions without guilt or shame and without feeling like you've hit self destruct button on your life!Plus get my latest blog post for simple ways you can support yourself through this phase, I use many natural remedies alongside unlearning the patriarchy!

We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished.  The vets have given us a very stark picture of the reality. If Jelly goes back on the streets, his condition will deteriorate and he will suffer until he eventually passes away. We have been told to find him a home where he can continue getting care or put him to sleep. We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can. If you are able to and want to support, you can donate and read Jelly's full story on our Go Fund Me page.

A small town band from Nashville has broken up after they find out that their vocalist had been spiking a fellow bandmate with Oestrogen in order to steal his partner.

Here's the latest in Hard N Heavy Headlines with Emmy Mack of RedHook! This episode is nothing short of sensational, featuring a story so bizarre it blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Imagine a hardcore band, Llorona, thrust into the spotlight not for their music, but for an internal scandal that's as shocking as it is unheard of. The lead singer has been ousted after admitting to secretly dosing a bandmate with estrogen, aiming to diminish his masculinity in a twisted plot to steal his fiancée. The revelation, coming to light through a drunken confession and a series of texts, has left the band, and the world, reeling. But the episode isn't all about band drama. We pay tribute to the legendary Chester Bennington of Linkin Park with the release of "Friendly Fire," a previously unheard song featuring his vocals, recorded during the "One More Light" album sessions in 2017. This gem will be part of an upcoming greatest hits album, a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike. And in a story that's sparking endless speculation, Ronnie Radke, the controversial frontman of Falling in Reverse, has vanished from the website X, formerly known as Twitter. With no explanation available, questions are swirling. Did Radke delete his account, or has he been banned for violating community guidelines?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Angela discusses the topic of oestrogen and its impact on women's health during perimenopause, focussing on the various symptoms that can arise when oestrogen levels drop, such as hot flashes, brain fog, low mood, irritability, and anxiety. Angela provides valuable nutritional strategies to support healthy oestrogen levels, including incorporating phytoestrogen-rich foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, and red clover. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish and grass-fed meat are recommended to boost serotonin levels and alleviate mood-related symptoms. Cruciferous vegetables, probiotics, and foods rich in polyphenols are also highlighted for their ability to support gut health and oestrogen metabolism. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phytoestrogens, found in foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, red clover, pomegranate, and kudzu, can help alleviate menopausal symptoms by improving oestrogen levels. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herrings, can help boost serotonin levels and improve mood during perimenopause. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, brussels sprouts, kale, mustard, kohlrabi, and turnip, contain DIM, which can shift oestrogen metabolism to favour healthy oestrogen metabolites. Consuming probiotic-rich foods like live yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and limited amounts of sourdough bread can support a healthy microbiome and oestrogen levels. Calcium D Glucarate, found in fruits and vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and apples, can inhibit enzymes that contribute to breast and colon cancer and reduce oestrogen absorption from the digestive tract. BEST MOMENTS "Perimenopause can be a bit of a curve ball for many women." (Host) "Phytoestrogens have healthy oestrogen-like activity that can help alleviate menopausal symptoms." (Host) "Omega-3 fatty acids can help improve low mood and serotonin levels." (Host) "Cruciferous vegetables contain DIM, which can shift oestrogen metabolism to favour friendly oestrogen metabolites."

In today's episode, Dr. Irene Ching discusses the topic of cancer and its causes, specifically focusing on breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other human cancers. Dr. Ching explains that one of the ways cancer can be initiated is through the production of catecholquinones of estrogen, which react with DNA and lead to mutations. She emphasizes the importance of reducing the production of these quinones and highlights the role of the liver's detoxification system in clearing them from the body. Dr. Ching also mentions the significance of maintaining a strong immune system and low inflammation to effectively combat abnormal cells. Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the mechanisms behind cancer initiation and offers tips for reducing cancer risk. KEY TAKEAWAYS Catecholquinones of estrogen, specifically estrogen 3-4 quinones or estrone 3-4 quinones, can initiate breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other human cancers. Quinones react with DNA and form depurinating adducts, leading to DNA damage and mutations. The repair of quinone-induced DNA damage can be error-prone, resulting in further mutations and the initiation of cancer. Excessive production of quinones can occur due to an imbalance in estrogen metabolism. Detoxification processes, such as glucuronidation and sulfation in the liver, can help reduce quinones and lower the risk of cancer. BEST MOMENTS "So today I'm going to be going back to the health side... I've got this patient who asked me about this question and hence I wanted to answer this question." "Quinones are not good. Quinones actually react with DNA... it leads to more mutation... and initiates breast cancer, prostate cancer and other types of cancer." "What we want is we want to reduce the quinones... excessive production of E1 or E2, E3, E4 quinones can cause a problem." "These kind of catechols not only happen in our endogenous estrogen... but also it could be synthetic estrogen such as the hexastrol, diethylstilbestrol, a human carcinogen." "The more quinones we get from the imbalance, the worse the problem will be... hence we need to work on all this anti-oxidative pathway to help us clear the initiated abnormal cancer cells."

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! Hormones can stimulate some breast cancer cells to grow. Hormone therapy works by either lowering the amount of hormones in the body or by blocking them from getting to breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy is also known as endocrine therapy. There are a number of different types of hormone therapy. The type you need depends on a number of factors. Let's talk about them Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he's been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.

So, a single session a week is not weight training. It is weight training for that one session, but it is not hard enough to cause significant muscle protein synthesis, particularly as we go through menopause." – Betty Murray   "If you're doing all the right things and you're not getting the right answers, it may be the order in which you're doing things. And it may be that you have to shift a little bit and go into a therapeutic diet for a period of time to force the body to become more metabolically efficient and become metabolically flexible." – Betty Murray     Links Mentioned: Free E-Book: A Woman's Guide to Kick-Ass Sleep FREE Quiz: Your Hormone Imbalance Type     Resources and References: Insulin resistance and the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids in humans Physical performance in relation to menopause status and physical activity The Emergence of the Metabolic Syndrome with Menopause The Greater Contribution of Gluconeogenesis to Glucose Production in Obesity Is Related to Increased Whole-Body Protein Catabolism The Role of Oestrogen in Female Skeletal Muscle Ageing: A Systematic Review The Role of Estrogen in Insulin Resistance Decreased Consumption of Branched-Chain Amino Acids Improves Metabolic Health Separate Contribution of Diabetes, Total Fat Mass, and Fat Topography to Glucose Production, Gluconeogenesis, and Glycogenolysis Why does obesity cause diabetes?

In this episode Dr Louise is joined by world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Lisa Mosconi, PhD. Dr Lisa is Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic and Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York and author of bestsellers The XX Brain and Brain Food. Dr Lisa was studying nuclear medicine and neuroscience when her grandmother and her grandmother's three sisters all developed Alzheimer's. Dr Lisa became interested in the cause of Alzheimer's and why women are more susceptible. Her research has shown that, rather than a disease of old age, it starts in midlife and menopause potentially plays a part. Dr Lisa discusses her most recent paper, which found that women who took hormones in midlife to treat their menopause symptoms were less likely to develop dementia than those who hadn't taken oestrogen. Finally, Dr Lisa shares three things to consider about female hormones: Oestrogen, and oestradiol in particular, is the master regulator of women's brains. It really is like saying that oestrogen is to your brain what fuel is for an engine. It keeps your brain running. Endogenous oestrogen (produced within your body) is different from exogenous oestrogen (synthetic). The bioidentical oestradiol is probably the best one to use because it really maps on the same circuits for your own endogenous oestrogen. I would love for all women to be able to make an informed decision about whether or not hormone therapy is a viable option for them. Many women who are eligible for HRT do not go on HRT out of fear and the fear comes from outdated information, mislabelling on some of the packages.

This week's pod comes from Troon, Oxfordshire, Dubai and Florida, with all the wifi lags that such a thing entails. But it's worth it as Iain, Eddie and Andrew are joined by Luke Donald who gives an insight into the effort and detail behind the scenes at the Ryder Cup and ponders the possibility of another captaincy. Eddie petitions hard for a menial role at Bethpage and petitions even harder for a bone broth sponsorship. TGL is given some detailed analysis, although Iain is denied a chance to show his knowledge of the original Boston Common as Andrew talks about Giant Haystacks instead. We also find out from whom Eddie might have inherited his dishonest ways.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chipping Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

This week Liz and Michelle dive into the important topic of gut health.  Fun fact that this week's guest, Pauline Cox, functional nutritionist shared with us: your gut microbiome can be positively affected by stroking a pet, going for a walk, gardening or even kissing your partner! How about that for a biohack?!   The gut microbiome impacts nearly every aspect of health from hormonal balance to brain fog. Pauline shares simple, practical tips like going for a morning walk, adding fermented foods like sauerkraut to your diet, and "Marie Kondo-ing" your fridge. The conversation covers the links between gut health and skin care, weight management, oestrogen levels, and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gut health impacts nearly every aspect of wellbeing including hormones, digestion, sleep, skin, and brain function. The gut microbiome is like a "fingerprint" - partly genetic but also influenced by diet, environment, stress levels, etc. Oestrogen balance is tied to gut health. Certain gut bacteria can reabsorb used oestrogen back into the body instead of allowing the liver to remove it. Regularity of bowel movements helps eliminate excess oestrogen. The gut and brain are constantly communicating via the vagus nerve 'super highway'. An unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to ongoing food cravings as the brain seeks the nutrients it needs whilst a healthy gut helps you feel satiated. Simple daily habits like walking, gardening, petting your dog, or kissing your partner can beneficially diversify your gut microbiome. Soil and animals bring good bacteria. Start by adding good things like fermented foods rather than eliminating everything at once. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, beetroot, and kombucha feed gut bacteria. Have at least one good bowel movement per day. Lack of magnesium and fibre or sluggish bile production can cause constipation. Going for a morning walk boosts serotonin, helps with food choices, energises you, and primes digestive processes for the day. Pauline's top 3 basic supplements are magnesium, vitamin D, and omega 3s. Target specific issues like sleep or liver health once those bases are covered.  BEST MOMENTS  "Your gut and your brain talk to each other all the time via a nerve that's a super, superhighway, and the pathway, the conversation goes both ways." "When you're eating food, let's say your omega 3 rich foods like oily fish and your protein rich foods like eggs, the nerve from your brain to your gut is sensing all the time what you're eating and is the brain getting what it needs to be optimal?" "By going for a walk first thing in the morning, you're going to feel more energised. You're going to feel happier because of the levels of serotonin and dopamine within your body. Dopamine is our motivation hormone."  "I would say go for a walk and then prepare. Really do a bit of a detox in your fridge. Go all Marie Kondo on your fridge and look at the things that are in there and think, do I really need that in there? Because it's just going to be a temptation to me." "Making small steps and simple changes rather than just thinking I'm going to stick a probiotic in and keep eating the foods I'm eating. We're much better off looking at whole foods first."

Welcome back to Beyond the Words! I'm Dimple Thakrar. Today, I'm sharing a deeply personal experience - my journey through menopause. I want to emphasize that I'm not a medical professional, just a woman sharing her story.I open up about my family's history with ovarian issues and losing my mother to it. This led to a decision for my sisters and me to undergo preventive hysterectomies. The aftermath was unexpected - surgery-induced menopause. The emotional and physical toll was immense. Finally, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provided relief, but it came with its own challenges.Key Takeaways:Menopause is often misunderstood and stigmatized, but it's a natural phase for many women.HRT can be a crucial lifeline for those struggling with menopausal symptoms.Compassion is vital, both for oneself and for those supporting women going through this transition.Understanding and seeking help for menopausal symptoms is crucial for overall well-being.Remember, you're not alone. Seek the support you need, and approach this phase with compassion and understanding. Take care. - Dimple x  Dimple Thakrar Resource Links: Website: https://dimpleglobal.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dimple.thakrarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dimplethakrar/

Welcome to Living Well with MS, where we are pleased to welcome Dr David Bilstrom as our guest! Dr Bilstrom, MD is the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute & Bingham Memorial Center for Functional Medicine and an expert in treating autoimmune diseases. He talks to Geoff about what autoimmune diseases are, about Vitamin D and gives his tips for sticking with lifestyle change. Watch this episode on YouTube here. Keep reading for the key episode takeaways. Topics and Timestamps: 00:59 Dr Bilstrom's introduction and work in autoimmunity. 01:48 Reversing MS symptoms. 03:32 Infections and autoimmune diseases. 05:52 Vitamin D and MS. 10:45 Supplementing with butyrate. 12:23 Leaky gut and autoimmunity. 14:34 Oestrogen dominance and autoimmunity. 19:03 Adverse childhood events and autoimmunity. 23:40 Tips for sticking with lifestyle change. Selected Key Takeaways: The risk of autoimmunity increases if a parent has an autoimmune disease. 02:04 “It's so easy if you get one autoimmune disease to get a second or third or fourth, but also, if a parent has an autoimmune disease, the child is at a higher risk of every autoimmune disease. For example, if a parent gets rheumatoid arthritis, that child is at a 5.4 times greater risk of getting type one diabetes. We want to educate people about what we know about why people get autoimmune diseases.” Vitamin D and prevention of autoimmune diseases 06:38 “If a woman's vitamin D is above 50 during pregnancy, she's going to decrease the risk of her child ever getting MS by 50% … Vitamin D is uber important when it comes to immune system stuff, such as preventing MS in pregnancy. Cancer is the flip side of the same coin, that's [another] autoimmune disease. If a woman's vitamin D is above 60, she has automatically decreased her risk of ever getting breast cancer by 82%. Kids that take vitamin D 2000 IU in the first year of life will decrease the risk of ever getting type one diabetes by 90%.” Epigenetics and autoimmunity 11:11 “We used to think our genes, our DNA in our cells, [that] whatever we got from our parents [and] grandparents we're stuck with it. If a parent has MS, they'd think “well, I wish I could change some of the genes my child has.” Well, it turns out, it's not what genes you have, it's which ones get turned on and turned off. So, it's epigenetics, the things that influence gene expression. There are a lot of bad genes that drive chronic disease, we've got to turn those guys off, as well as good genes that drive health, we've got to turn those guys on.” Want to learn more about living a full and happy life with multiple sclerosis?

So, if you've been listening to my podcast for a while now, you'll know that the proper balance of oestrogen and progesterone can significantly help manage endometriosis symptoms. Not only is endo an oestrogen dependent disease, but the symptoms of oestrogen dominance can look a lot like what we associate with endo symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, clots, cramps and bloating. Oestrogen excess put very simply, is when we have too much oestrogen circulating in our body, whereas oestrogen dominance is when the oestrogen to progesterone ratio is off, and oestrogen is dominating over progesterone in the second half of our cycle, when it should be the other way round. The other issue that can occur is when our liver isn't properly clearing out oestrogen. This can result in oestrogen building up, creating excess levels, but the liver can also convert oestrogen into an unhealthier metabolite, which can cause more exaggerated oestrogenic effects.
