EP 93: Are you curious about how to start something new in midlife? Do you find yourself attempting to google the 17 steps to start that new midlife hobby or figure out what's next for you? Ready to accept that you have agency in your own life? Want to connect with other women who are ready to do the same? Need a little bit of help sorting through the mixed bag of solutions for midlife issues? What would it feel like to really say “bye-bye” to your comfort zone and embrace self-reinvention? Are you ready to say yes to yourself, your hobbies, and your passions? And, if you don't have any (my husband has 89 hobbies and I am like “ugh”)...Then this episode is for you! Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in a mini-sode called “Bye-Bye Midlife Comfort Zone!”. I did my first ever Instagram live with Jessica Barac, from the IG Instagram account @whatthemenopause, that she has built into a place for women to feel seen, validated and celebrated in menopause and midlife. Jessica is a former athlete and registered nurse. We discussed everything from finding and re-inventing yourself in midlife to empty nesting, health, and of course my free workshop “Let's Talk Midlife”.  By the time this episode comes out the workshop will be over, but don't worry because my online experience (some would call a course, “The Midlife Remix Table” is launching today! 8 weeks (two hours a week with me, on zoom). This is an intimate experience that is going to happen every single week with me and it's for women just like you and me seeking midlife connection and real evidenced based strategies on figuring out what's next for us.  Looking forward to connecting with you!

Dr Armitstead explains how to support the body when going through perimenopause or menopause or what to do if your period is irregular, either getting your period too often or when missing your period and how to become more fertile.  She also explains how emotions get stuck in the body and a way to release them. If you suffer from hot flashes, weight gain, fatigue, waking up too early, infertility, PCOS, fibroids, acne, moodiness, vaginal dryness or itching, loss of sex drive or brain fog listen to this podcast.

Perimenopause fitness clients are the most likely to experience first signs and symptoms of hormonal change. It may occur anywhere from late 30s to mid 50s the majority in their 40s will find they have changes of some kind. For some perimenopause fitness clients it's mild, they barely notice and wouldn't associate it with menopause even. For others, hot flashes and night sweats are a dead give away. During this time, as a trainer, or health coach, you have the best opportunity to positively impact not just their symptoms but their health.  Perimenopause Fitness Clients:  Can experience any one or more of 34 symptoms or can be entirely asymptomatic, yet knowing the status of their regular cycle, or how long it's been since a regular cycle, and the way they feel throughout it can help you modify training to optimize results for both now in dealing with symptoms and later in life, maintaining optimal body composition, strength and bone density.  Don't often understand that just checking the “exercise box” doesn't necessarily support a reduction in symptoms of perimenopause. Science literature (complete references listed in previous blogs, podcasts and both You Still Got It, Girl! And Hot, Not Bothered!) suggests that for instance, with hot flashes and night sweats, reduction is associated only with exercise that is of adequate intensity.  Exercise tendencies currently still default to more volume as opposed to more intensity and often tip the cortisol scales in direct opposition to supporting any change in symptoms or body composition and may in fact worsen symptoms.  A majority of perimenopause women still recall the advice of the 70s and 80s for “exercise more, eat less,” and are increasing their cortisol levels (or over taxing low levels) which can cause muscle catabolism and increases in fat storage, particularly to the belly.  Poor eating habits (dieting) are independently a problem for women who are exercising regularly as they will not be absorbing all the macro or micronutrients to enhance the muscle and bone. Even a woman who temporarily finds she's leaner with current under nutrition, may be increasing her risk for reduced muscle mass, low bone density, or other issues often supported by optimal nutrition.  Now is the absolute best time to begin working on heavy weights, and to avoid over exercise. Biggest Tip Regarding Perimenopause Fitness:  The toleration of exercise may be lower. This is the exact time to reduce total volume, enhance recovery in order to improve the menopause transition and avoid muscle loss and fat gains.  Resources:  Your Business Scorecard: For Fitness & Health Coaches: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/business-scorecard/ Copywriting for Marketing to Women Course: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/copywriting-course/ Menopause Fitness Specialist™ Program:  https://www.flippingfifty.com/menopause-fitness-specialist-program-2022/ Send an Email to support@flippingfifty.com if you want to learn more about the founding member's rate for the Health & Well Pros mastermind.

Hey there! Today's podcast episode is like that cozy chat you'd have with a good friend while wrapped up in a comfy blanket, sipping your favorite tea. Why? Well, because I'm going to share my raw and unfiltered experiences with you as I dive into the world of menopause and perimenopause. Now, here's the deal: I'm not a doctor, a therapist, or any kind of medical pro. Nope, I'm just a regular person like you. But you know what I can do? I can talk about it in a way that makes sense, especially when those pesky menopause brain fog moments hit. Menopause and perimenopause aren't talked about nearly enough, but that's changing, and I'm here to tell you why. We Gen Xers, like myself, weren't exactly handed a manual for this stuff. But now, we're all about sharing what we know and keeping it real. No sugarcoating here. Oh, and a funny side note: if you're in the perimenopause/menopause club, you'll relate to how objects seem to disappear into thin air. We'll explore the joys (itchy ears, anyone?) and not-so-great stuff like brain fog. But here's the thing: with knowledge, even the not-so-great stuff becomes manageable. Embrace the emotional clarity that comes with this journey. It can be a catalyst for open communication and empathy in your relationships. Talk to your loved ones, friends, and partners about what's going on inside your body and mind. It's a game-changer. Throughout this episode, I'll share some practical tips, including advocating for your health and practicing self-care. I've also discovered some supplements that helped me along the way, but remember, I'm not a doctor, so consult a healthcare professional. Join me on this adventure as we navigate the waves of menopause, discovering self-love, authenticity, and a renewed sense of self. You're not alone, my friends, and this journey is a beautiful opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Let's ride the menopause wave together! (These are not affiliate links. I'm sharing because they work, and I want to help.

Hormone shifts and changes are inevitable for us as women. Aren't we lucky?! In all seriousness– I know you've felt these changes in your body.  Take your menstrual cycle, for example. One moment estrogen and testosterone rally together, and you feel on top of the world right before ovulation. Then, just a couple of weeks later, progesterone and estrogen plummet to the ground, and it can feel like everything in your body is working against you.  And then there's how your body feels when on hormonal birth control– which we'll discuss today. Or even during the long 10+ year perimenopause transition when everything is up in the air. Perimenopause is undoubtedly the most significant hormonal transition right after the ultramarathon that is pregnancy. And I would argue that perimenopause is the critical window that shapes our future health outcomes.  The truth is, how you take care of your body during the perimenopause transition can determine how you thrive for the rest of your life. So today, I invited Dr. Carrie Jones to share her insights on the new research concerning women after perimenopause, and what tools are at our disposal to set us up for success so we can extend our longevity.  We'll also discuss the new FDA-cleared, over-the-counter mini pill called the Opill– which is about to hit drugstores. We want you to understand all the options, concerns, and risks around an over-the-counter pill.  And lastly, we talk about how improving your metabolic health is the biggest lever you can pull if you want a healthy, thriving body and life– before, during, and after perimenopause. Although your body's changing a lot– even in menopause– there are adjustments you can easily make to reduce the symptoms you're dealing with. And that first step is assessing how well your metabolism is functioning– and then taking proactive steps to improve it.  Learn more about all of this today in my empowering discussion with Dr. Jones– so you can take charge of your hormones and metabolism to live the life you deserve.  Dr. Carrie Jones  Dr. Carrie Jones is a Naturopathic Physician, board-certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology with a Master's in Public Health.

Rachel E. Gross is an award-winning science journalist who wrote an incredible book called Vagina Obscura which was a finalist for the 2023 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. Go ahead and be impressed, but do not be intimidated. Rachel will enthrall you with stories of outlandish treatments for ailments that plague people with female reproductive systems, including a personal tale involving rat poison and her own vagina. She takes us back through history to when the fallopian tubes were named after an Italian Catholic priest and when Freud decided that all "women's issues" were psychological. She discusses how medical terminology can be harmful, placing blame on the woman or the body part itself. If that's not enough to draw you in, listen as we realize that both Ellie and Julia know a ton about bacterial vaginosis, and in a delightful epiphany, Ellie gives the perfect name to the wall of vagina-inspired art in Rachel's home. Bonus points if you count the number of times "vagina" is said in this episode.

Michelle shares her personal experience of going through perimenopause at a young age and the debilitating symptoms she faced.

Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, and menopause is defined as having no periods for 12 consecutive months. Post-menopause begins after 12 consecutive months and a day without periods. Perimenopause and menopause can cause a wide range of symptoms, with over 100 symptoms being reported. These symptoms can include weight gain, hair loss, acne, heart palpitations, anxiety, and more. It is important to advocate for yourself when seeking medical help for perimenopause and menopause. Keep a journal of your symptoms, ask to see a women's health trained doctor, and come prepared with questions and literature to educate your doctor. something to be eliminated. Embracing the wisdom and empowerment that can come with this stage of life is important, and seeking support from others who are going through similar experiences can be beneficial. BEST MOMENTS "I thought I had the onset of dementia. I just didn't know what was happening to me." "Doctors, actually, many of them haven't got a clue about perimenopause” "It's a natural part of what women's bodies go through. I just don't see why we would get rid of it." "It's a cultural conditioning for women to keep on going, keep on doing too much just to deal with that guilt." "We don't attract what we want in life, we attract what we are."

I work with women every day who are feeling a bit (or very) stagnant in their lives, so I teach them (or sometimes reteach them) 4 key practices to reignite their personal power (aka confidence). Even better, I have created a companion guide that walks you through each practice so you can reignite your own confidence in 24 hours or less. (Check out the podcast so you can find out how to get it delivered to your inbox for FREE.) I call these practices the Power Pak and today I am sharing them with you! In this episode, specifically, I will teach you: How to refocus on what truly matters to you, so you can ditch everything that isn't that! How to make decisions FAST that align with your priorities, so you can stop wasting time being ruled by overwhelm. How to design a plan for your day that you will actually be excited to show up for to execute. The single most important practice for reigniting and maintaining your confidence to go after what you really want. These are the 4 skills I use daily to help clients pivot from feeling riddled with self-doubt and overwhelm to feeling clear and confident.

“Your labs look normal - you must be a busy mom,” your doctor tells you.  ‘Normal?  How can that be?  I can hardly function, I'm so tired,' you think to yourself.  Or maybe you have other hormonal symptoms - no libido?  Weight gain?  Mood shifts?  Loss of energy? My guest today is Marcella Hill.  She is not only an entrepreneur, speaker and author, but she is your go-to person for eye-opening videos and conversations about symptoms that aren't always talked about when it comes to perimenopause and hormones.Marcella is building a fantastic community of women that is full of hope, information and resources you need on how to get help - what to do next - and how to get back on track to feeling good again.  I'm excited for you to hear her story.Note: This is not medical advice in any way - but sharing our journeys can be so helpful.

To kick off Season 5, we're looking at the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) of the perimenopause and menopause. Because let's face it, we've all got questions and there are some subjects that you might not feel too comfortable asking about. But fear no more!  I'm chatting to the brilliant Julie Robinson, founder of Meno Health and Move It, Or Lose It, who's helped thousands of women over the years. Her new book has collated some of the most common (and some not so common!) questions and concerns and she's worked with a number of experts to provide the answers. FAQs on Menopause: Your Questions Answered is a great little book and I'd urge you to add it to your bookshelf, because you won't regret it. In this episode, I pulled out a selection of questions from the book which cover some of the burning issues familiar to so many of us as we go through perimenopause and menopause.We discuss anxiety, facial hair, HRT, joint pain and managing the menopause at work and Julie shares some really sound, practical advice on how to manage all of these. She's kind, funny, engaging and has the unbeatable knack of making exercise fun! Julie has made it her life's work to get women and girls of all ages moving more, to support our physical and mental health and wellbeing. She founded Menohealth after her own experience of early menopause, so this is a woman who knows all about the challenges of this phase of life. Julie is a real breath of fresh air and I absolutely loved chatting to her, so tune in to hear more about those key questions that so many of us struggle with.    Check out the full Show Notes for this episode on my website www.well-well-well.co.uk/podcast, where you'll find all the relevant links and references for my guest.

“When we say ‘treatment for menopause,' it implies that menopause is a disease, when really it's a normal and expected time of life,” says Dr. Anna Barbieri, an integrative medicine physician and specialist in menopause certified by the North American Menopause Society. That attentiveness to word choice is reflective of a new perspective that's driving Dr. Barbieri and her peers to see menopause more holistically than in the past and to forge new approaches to the care they provide. "Menopause care is not checkbox medicine. We have to work with our patients individually," Barbieri shares with special guest host Dr. Deborah Enegess, herself a practicing gynecologist as well as a clinical content writer for Osmosis. A personalized approach involves tailoring care plans that take exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management and other lifestyle and psychological factors into account in an effort to help patients feel better in the short term and longer term.  Providers also have to contend with a shift in long-held thinking about the use of hormone therapy and a bewildering array of supplements that are touted as effective remedies for various symptoms.  To help sort through all of this complexity, new resources have come on the scene in recent years, including the digital platform Elektra Health -- of which Barbieri is the founding physician -- that describes its mission as “smashing the menopause taboo.” Check out this engaging exploration of what looks to be a promising time for women in search of individualized, integrated and informed care during their menopause journey.Mentioned in this episode: https://www.elektrahealth.com/

Welcome to episode 72 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast! Today's guest is sports dietitian Dina Griffin, MS, RDN, CSSD, CISSN, who I invited on the show to chat about Peri- and Postmenopause nutrition for female athletes. Dina is the Owner and Founder of The Nutrition Mechanic, and she also co-hosts the Inside Sports Nutrition podcast with fellow sports RD, Bob Seebohar. Some of Dina's specialities include endurance sports nutrition, women's health and athletes in peri- and postmenopause, so I knew she'd be a great match for this topic!I'm not in perimenopause yet, but I certainly will be at some point in the not-so-distant future, so this topic is of great personal interest to me. Peri- and postmenopause also is so important for us active women to speak openly about. Much more nutrition research is needed in this area, but there are some strategies that we can adopt both before and during perimenopause to mitigate some of the changes that may occur later on. Dina and I go into all the details, but it's worth mentioning that eating ENOUGH everyday is one of the most important nutrition considerations for these phases of life (do you see a common theme here in these episodes?!). I hope you give this one a listen, even if you feel like perimenopause is far away for you, because what you're doing with your nutrition RIGHT NOW will have an impact years down the line. As 53 and 41 year olds, respectively, Dina and I both have a lot to say about nutrition to our younger selves!Thanks Dina for a great chat, and wishing you the best of luck in your upcoming 100 miler!  Links & Resources, and Announcements:Dina's Website: https://nutritionmechanic.com/Follow on Instagram and FacebookDina's podcast, Inside Sports NutritionHer program for 40+ women ultrarunnersInternational society of sports nutrition position stand: nutritional concerns of the female athleteHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

Did you know that about 45% of women mistakenly think perimenopause and menopause are one and the same? Let's clear that up. Perimenopause is like a reverse puberty, hitting around age 35. It's when our reproductive hormones shift from ovaries to the adrenal glands, causing a rollercoaster of symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, and those dreaded night sweats.Now, what's truly intriguing is how these symptoms stem from a dance between progesterone and estrogen. Imagine, when one's off-balance, the other follows suit. Progesterone, highly sensitive to stress and inflammation, often takes a backseat as the adrenal system steps in. But here's the kicker: 75% of symptomatic women aren't seeking help! We'll explore ways to let your hormones heal themselves. Quality sleep (7-9 hours ladies!), proper hydration, and stress reduction through nutrition and movement form the pillars of rejuvenation. So, dive in with a positive mindset – this transition can be a catalyst for empowerment. Remember, change is our forte; embrace it and emerge stronger.Find Bria at the following:Her WebsiteInstagramThe Period Whisperer PodcastMake sure to join me the week of September 17th for the 5-Day, 5-Minute "Me Time" ChallengeBook a NEXT STEPS Call to see if the Midlife in Motion LIVE program is for you!Find me on my Website:https://www.lesleylmcshane.comEmail me: lesley@lesleylmcshane.comFREE Guide: 4 Steps To Prioritize Your Health & Wellness This Week (And Actually Do It!)

It can feel frustrating when you're doing everything right, and you hit a plateau.  Hot flashes, weight gain, and energy issues are massive symptoms.  Menopause is natural. However, suffering is optional.  In a quick window of time, we can feel improvements and feel empowered.  [07:10] The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Ovarian Function   We can restore and keep healthy ovarian function by looking at hormone disrupters and clearing them from our bodies. Plus, we should support the liver and detoxification.  Healthy habits will allow us to have our menstrual cycles for longer - it's a longevity marker. One of the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes is menopause. A higher risk factor is if you've had a hysterectomy. Thirdly, if you've had your ovaries removed, you have a significantly higher risk of diabetes. If you had your ovaries removed, even before 65, your risk of cardiovascular disease is almost double.  The association with diabetes tells how important it is to maintain healthy ovarian function.  [09:10] Why Women Need More Ketones Between The Ages of 35 and 55  During ages 35 - 55, the use of glucose in a women's brain significantly decreases.  Instead, you shift to using ketones for fuel in the brain. Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of greens. Depending on your symptoms, you have to pause greens, or you may have to pause meat.  Sometimes we need to challenge our gut bacteria, and sometimes, we have to support digestive enzymes. It depends on your unique needs.  [14:15] Why You May Want To Consider Using A Progesterone Cream  Dr. Anna Cabeca is a massive fan of progesterone.  There are progesterone receptors in our brain, bones, and breasts. Progesterone supports healthy breast tissue.  Plus, progesterone will support healthy metabolism and healthy neuroendocrine function.  Dr. Cabeca has used progesterone in men for anxiety and insomnia; it is a total game-changer.  Oral progesterone is excellent if you are working on sleep.  Check out Balance if you're looking for a progesterone cream: https://drannacabeca.com/products/pura-balance-ppr-cream. [22:40] Gratitude and Positive Thinking Can Make You Happier  You have to pause negative thinking.  Negative thoughts will predominate our lives if we allow them to.  Try gratitude and praying.  There is always something to be grateful for.  Gratitude is so easy to do, making it easy not to do.  People have 60,000 thoughts per day - most of them are negative. It's time to pause and think about gratitude.  [28:45] Using Mighty Maca To Alkalize The Body and Balance Hormones  Ideally, we're working on restoring our natural ovarian production or natural adrenal production. When Dr. Cabeca looks at fertility, she will look at a 21-day progesterone level.  Mighty Maca is something Dr.Cabeca recommends for adrenal support.  One of Dr. Cabeca's clients used Mighty Maca to fix her progesterone levels and finally get pregnant. Get Mighty Maca here: https://drannacabeca.com/products/mighty-maca [33:10] Unique Plans To Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau  If you hit a plateau, it's time to pause and try something new. There are five different six-day menu plans.  The gut mucosa regenerates every 72 hours. So a six-day plan will give you two 72 hour cycles.  Here are some of the menu plans: Pausing nightshades Plant-based menu Carnivore menu A cleanse with a gallbladder liver flush Adding healthy carbs AND MUCH MORE!
