Podcasts about postmenopause

You've heard the words. Perimenopause. Menopause. Postmenopause. But nobody ever sat you down and explained what actually separates one from the next.So you've been guessing. Piecing it together from your mom, your group chat, a comment section at 11pm.In this episode, Dr. Tamara Beckford breaks down the three phases in plain language, including the exact moment your body crosses from one to the next. She also shares her STAGE method, the framework she uses with her own patients to figure out where they really stand.If you've ever wondered whether your symptoms even make sense for the stage you think you're in, this one's for you.

Is getting older something to fear, or something worth embracing? In this episode, Dr Lucy and Dr Mary have an honest, warm conversation about what post-menopausal life actually looks like, and why it does not have to be the doom and gloom we are so often told to expect. They talk through the real physical changes that can come with menopause, including shifts in metabolism, bone and muscle health, and visceral fat, and why stress management may help support these changes. They also explore the social side of ageing: why women can start to feel invisible as they get older, and how to find a healthy balance between caring for your appearance and tying your self-worth to it. Throughout, they share personal stories and practical lifestyle strategies, from nourishment to sleep to prioritising yourself, that may support your health through this life stage. You will walk away with a grounded, hopeful perspective: that the post-menopausal years can be a time of wisdom, agency and glory, not decline. If you are moving through menopause or supporting someone who is, tune in for a reminder that this stage of life deserves to be lived loudly, not hidden away.

Today on the Yoga Medicine Podcast, Tiffany Cruikshank and co-host Katja Bartsch explore the latest research on strength training during pre- and post-menopause. Using a newly published systematic review and meta-analysis of 126 studies involving more than 4,000 women, they unpack what the evidence actually says about building strength and improving body composition in different stages of reproductive aging. Together, Tiffany and Katja separate common myths from current research, discussing progressive overload, lean muscle, body composition, estrogen, and why strength gains remain possible well into midlife and beyond. They also explore why consistency and enjoyment may be just as important as the specific type of resistance training you choose, offering practical takeaways for yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone looking to age well.  "When we intervene, when we start to create a plan... the capacity to build strength is the same." — Tiffany Cruikshank. — What You'll Learn: Overview of the latest research on strength training across the female lifespan [01:25] Why strength gains remain possible after menopause [08:47] Body composition changes with strength training [16:25] Why enjoyment and consistency are key to long-term success [21:36] Current research gaps and unanswered questions [27:07] Shifting the focus from weight loss to feeling and functioning your best [31:08] How yoga complements strength training for lifelong health [32:34] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Isenmann E, Geisler S, Havers T, Siegert F, Hemke F, Held S.

Longevity klingt manchmal abstrakt, weit weg von unserem Leben und Alltag. Dabei können ein paar Gewohnheiten bereits einen großen Unterschied machen. Nur wie kommen wir ins Tun? Nach einer Brustkrebsdiagnose verändert Swaantje Taube ihr Leben radikal und stellt ihren Alltag auf gesunde, aber dennoch lebensfrohe Füße. Heute beschäftigt sie sich mit einer Frage, die uns alle betrifft: Wie können wir möglichst GESUND älter werden? Wir sprechen über • warum Krafttraining für Frauen so oft unterschätzt wird • weshalb Routinen fast wichtiger sind als Motivation • was der erste Schritt sein kann • warum Vorsorge ein Geschenk ist • und weshalb man nicht alles gleichzeitig verändern muss. Besonders spannend fand ich den Aspekt, über den viel zu selten gesprochen wird: Durch ihre Erkrankung kam Swaantje von einem Tag auf den anderen in die Postmenopause. Da eine Hormonersatztherapie für sie nicht infrage kam, musste sie andere Wege finden – und zeigt eindrucksvoll, welche Rolle ein konsequenter Lifestyle für Kraft, Energie und Lebensqualität spielen kann. Das ersetzt keine medizinische Therapie, macht aber deutlich, wie viel Einfluss wir selbst auf unsere Gesundheit haben können.

Menopause is one of the largest physiological transitions in a woman's adult life—yet many women are expected to navigate it quietly, without understanding what is happening or receiving meaningful support.In Part 1 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex begins a new four-part solo series exploring perimenopause, menopause, and what it means to faithfully steward a woman's body through a changing season.Drawing from more than 20 years of coaching women through peri- and postmenopause, Alex addresses the painful question underneath many women's frustrations:“What is wrong with me?”The answer is clear:Your body is changing. You are not broken.In this episode, Alex explains the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause; explores why symptoms and severity can vary so widely between women; and names some of the physical, emotional, relational, and metabolic changes that may occur.He also challenges two harmful extremes: dismissing every symptom as “just getting older” and blaming every difficulty after 40 on hormones.Menopause is not a disease—but that does not mean women should quietly endure symptoms that deserve attention, adaptation, or medical care.You'll also hear why a woman's story after 50 does not have to become a story of decline. Strength, muscle, cardiovascular fitness, confidence, wisdom, intimacy, service, and meaningful purpose are still available in this season.This episode also includes an important message for husbands and family members: compassion is not pity, and the women you love should not have to walk through this transition alone or in the dark.IN THIS EPISODEWhat perimenopause and menopause actually meanWhy menopause is a major transition, not a personal failureCommon physical, emotional, and relational challengesWhy symptoms can differ dramatically between womenThe danger of blaming everything on hormonesWhy unusual symptoms and abnormal bleeding deserve medical attentionThe potential freedoms and gains of postmenopausal lifeHow husbands can offer compassion and practical supportWhy adaptation is wisdom—not failureHow women can enter this season with agency and intentionSCRIPTURE FROM THE EPISODE“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”—Proverbs 31:25“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”—Ecclesiastes 3:1COMING NEXTIn Part 2 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex addresses exercise during perimenopause and postmenopause—including muscle, strength, cardiovascular fitness, bone density, high-intensity exercise, walking, and recovery.This is not about desperately holding onto youth.It is about preparing your body for what God may ask you to do with the decades ahead.NEED HELP NAVIGATING THIS SEASON?Email Coach Alex personally at:coachalex@faithfulfitness.coTell him what has changed, what you have been wrestling with, what you have already tried, and where you currently feel stuck.JOIN THE FAITHFUL FITNESS CORPSYou were not meant to steward your body alone.Join an intentional community of men and women working to make the most of every season God gives them:https://faithfulfitness.co/joinYour body is changing.You are not broken.And there is still a whole lot of good work ahead of you.Train hard.

Join me at this year's National Menopause Show, October 17th and 18th at the International Center in Mississauga. Go to https://nationalmenopauseshow.com/ and use code :TRANSFORM45 Menopause isn't the end of the story. In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with functional medicine practitioner and nutritionist Cindy Dupuie to talk about what happens after menopause and why women need to pay attention to their health long after the hot flashes fade. Together they tackle hormone therapy myths, the lasting impact of the WHI study, bone health, vaginal estrogen, inflammation, muscle loss, heart disease risk, and the importance of becoming the CEO of your own health. If you've ever thought "I'm past menopause, so I'm done worrying about it," this episode may change the way you think about your future health. ✔ Why post-menopause deserves more attention ✔ The lasting impact of the WHI study ✔ What estrogen actually does throughout the body ✔ Why heart disease is the leading cause of death for post-menopausal women ✔ Bone density, osteoporosis and preventing fractures ✔ The role of vaginal estrogen in preventing UTIs ✔ Why muscle matters more than ever ✔ The importance of building your healthcare team ✔ How to advocate for yourself in medical appointments ✔ Why it's never too late to improve your health Menopause is one day. Post-menopause lasts the rest of your life. Hormones affect far more than reproduction. Bone loss begins long before most women receive screening. Vaginal estrogen may help prevent recurring UTIs and improve quality of life. Movement is medicine, especially strength training. Women deserve preventative care, not just reactive care. You are the CEO of your own health.

Dr. Karen Adams, obstetrician/gynecologist and Farwell Family Director of the Stanford Program in Menopause and Healthy Aging, studies menopause and, perhaps more importantly, perimenopause – the critical years preceding it. During this time, hormone-related symptoms like mood instability, sleep disruption, hot flashes, and joint pain can be severe even though periods continue. Adams explains that perimenopausal symptoms are often misdiagnosed and improperly treated. She says hormonal therapies are safe and effective in perimenopause and menopause, and can even have heart and bone benefits. “Menopause is inevitable, but suffering is not,” Adams tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Something shifts in midlife that nobody talks about in the fashion conversation. It's not just that your body changes, though it does. It's that your entire life changes. Menopause. Divorce. Career transitions. Kids leaving. And suddenly the clothes that defined you for twenty-plus years don't fit, not just physically, but emotionally. Most women respond by either ignoring their wardrobe entirely or going on a shopping spree that doesn't actually solve anything. Today's guest believes there is a better way. Gayle Perry is one of New York City's most sought-after personal stylists and the force behind @gaylestyle, where nearly half a million followers come for exactly what she delivers: style that heals, empowers, and makes you feel like the most confident version of yourself, regardless of your body, your budget, or your age. Her philosophy is called The Wellness of Style, and once you hear it, you will never think about getting dressed the same way again. This episode is for every woman who has looked in her closet and felt like none of it belongs to her anymore. In this episode: — How to dress the body and the life you have right now, not the one you had at 40 — Why postmenopause is the most liberating style moment of your life if you approach it right — How to shop with intention instead of impulse — Dressing for different body shapes, comfort, and reclaiming your style — Building a wardrobe that reflects who you are becoming, not who you used to be Find Gayle Perry: IG: @gaylestyle Website: https://gaylestyle.squarespace.com/ Stay connected with JFW: Book your 60-minute Menopause Care Consultation: https://www.jillfooswellness.com/menopause-care-consult-page Follow on Instagram: @jillfooswellness Follow on Facebook: @jillfooswellness Follow on YouTube: @jillfooswellness Grab discounts on my favorite menopause wellness products: https://www.jillfooswellness.com/health-products Enjoy 20% savings and free shipping at Fullscript for your favorite supplements by leading brands: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/jillfooswellness/store-start Subscribe to the JFW newsletter at www.jillfooswellness.com and receive your FREE Guide on How To Create Your Menopause Health Equation Ebook.

In the first half of a two-part episode on midlife skin, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down the biology behind one of the most alarming stats in dermatology: women can lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen in the first five years after menopause. She explains why collagen decline actually starts as early as your 20s (about 1% a year), why estrogen loss accelerates that process dramatically at menopause, and why "collagen banking" earlier in life matters so much. Rather than jumping straight to products and procedures, Dr. Mina makes the case that skincare is whole-body care — walking through the inside-out factors that most directly affect collagen: protein intake (including how much you actually need and why vegetarian/vegan diets make it harder), sugar and glycation (AGEs), anti-inflammatory fats, antioxidants, hydration, and whether collagen supplements are actually worth taking. Part 2 will cover the topical and in-office side of the equation, so be sure to follow/subscribe!

There is an undeniable buzz around testosterone for women right now. While many patients report feeling more energized, happier, and clearer of mind after adding it to their hormone therapy regimen, clinical questions and nuances still remain. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with world-renowned urologist Dr. Mohit Khera, Professor and Director of the Laboratory for Andrology Research at the Baylor College of Medicine, to demystify testosterone's role in midlife optimization, the safety data behind it, and why sexual health is the ultimate check-engine light for your overall well-being.Key Takeaways: The Hormonal Triangle (Triple Therapy): Modern midlife medicine must evolve past dual hormone therapy (estrogen and progesterone). True optimization requires Triple Therapy—adding systemic testosterone to balance the triangle—alongside localized vaginal estrogen therapy for complete quality of life restoration. Women naturally produce nearly five times more testosterone than estradiol. When testosterone declines, replacing it can significantly augment bone mineral density, lean muscle mass, cognitive focus (brain fog), mood stability, and all four domains of sexual function (desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain mitigation). The Clinical Safety Reality: Historical fears that testosterone causes breast cancer or cardiovascular events are not backed by data. Large-scale charts and transgender health studies (using ten times the standard female dose) demonstrate excellent safety profiles. In fact, emerging data suggests testosterone may even help decrease breast cancer risk. The "Sex Factor" & Overall Health: Sexual health is a bidirectional barometer for physical and mental health. Rather than just a recreational activity, sexual function acts as a "check engine light." Dysfunction is often an early clinical indicator of undiagnosed depression, diabetes, or future cardiovascular events. The 50/50 Rule: Hormones are not a standalone holy grail; they are synergistic with lifestyle modification. Clinical optimization requires medical therapy (50%) to meet lifestyle modifications (50%) halfway through intentional diet, exercise, sleep, and chronic stress reduction.Upcoming Frontiers in Healthcare:The landscape of hormone therapy regulation is rapidly shifting. Dr. Khera shares recent monumental policy wins, including the FDA's removal of major historical warnings on local estrogens and male testosterone labels. For women, clinical discussions are currently underway with the FDA to bring regulatory approval for female-specific testosterone gels and oral formats to the US market within the next two to three years.

Send us Fan MailDas ist die letzte Folge unserer sechsteiligen Serie rund um Menopause, Perimenopause, Wechseljahre und Postmenopause dieses Mal als Solofolge und mit dem expliziten Blick des Yin-Prinzips.Denn es geht mir hier nicht mehr um Hormone oder Symptome. Es geht um das, was diese Jahre wirklich mit uns machen. Als Frau ab 50, ab 60 sowohl  gesellschaftlich und innerlich auch.Ich rede offen darüber, dass mich eine gewisse Unsichtbarkeit trifft. Auf Bühnen, in Medien, auf Bilddatenbanken ... ältere Frauen existieren kaum. Und ganz ehrlich: manchmal kränkt mich das. Ich möchte mir das nicht schönreden.Aber ich frage mich auch: Wo machen wir uns selbst unsichtbar? Wo rutschen wir, oft ganz unbewusst,  zurück in die alte Rolle der Stütze im Hintergrund? In die Care-Arbeit, in die emotionale Verfügbarkeit, ins Funktionieren für andere. Und was hat das mit dem Yin zu tun?Das beschäftigt mich in dieser Folge. Zusammen mit der Frage, was Selbstverwirklichung für Frauen in der Postmenopause wirklich bedeutet– und was TCM und Taoismus über die weibliche Energie nach der Menopause sagen.Älterwerden als Frau muss kein Rückzug sein: Das Yin reift. Und diese Folge ist eine Einladung, genau das zu spüren.Ich freue mich, wenn du mir schreibst !

The Menstruality podcast is devoted to restoring cyclical intelligence at the heart of our world, and we center our conversation on the menstrual cycle as a teacher, guide and ally in this quest. But what do you do if you encounter this work after you've been through menopause and no longer have a menstrual cycle? We receive many questions from post-menopause women and folks in our community who are curious about how to practice cycle awareness, such as; what cycles should I track now? Should I track with the moon, and how do I do that? And importantly, what do I do with the regret, grief and anger I feel at missing out on menstrual cycle awareness earlier? So, in today's conversation, we weave stories from some of the post-menopause women in the Red School community with Alexandra's personal experience from many years of tracking with the lunar cycle to share practical guidance and inspiration for how you can bring cyclical wisdom into your life in your third act. We explore:What to do when you feel grief and / or rage about not having had access to the wisdom and power of the menstrual cycle during your menstruating years. How to work with the lunar cycle phases to recover menstrual cycle wisdom and embody it, and especially how the new moon can give you permission to rest when you no longer bleed.The ‘quiet medicine' of post-menopause cycle awareness, and how it can support your healing processes and repair work, particularly trauma healing. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

They don't respond the same to food. They don't respond to the same training. And the strategy that helps in one phase can quietly make things worse in the other.In this episode, I break down how these two phases are so different — and why using the wrong approach for where you actually are is one of the most common reasons women feel stuck.In this episode:How your nutritional needs are completely different in perimenopause vs. postmenopause — and what actually needs to changeWhy your training has to shift between phases — and the one thing that becomes non-negotiable the further you goHow fat loss strategy changes depending on which phase you're in — and why the same approach won't work for bothWhy your hormones are behaving so differently in each phase — and what that means for how your body responds to everything you doThe most common mistake women make when they move from one phase to the other — and what to do instead

No barbell required, no gym membership necessary — just practical, research-backed guidance you can actually apply to your life. Main points discussed: The importance of remembering heavy is relative. Why you need to "earn" your heavy. Why fast-twitch muscle fibers are the key.Bone density benefits. How the metabolic afterburn is real. Why you don't need fancy equipment. Knowing the difference between resistance training ≠ lifting heavy. Thoughts on training 2–3x per week and recovery and listening to your body. Episode Links:What Does Lifting Heavy Mean?The Bone Battle No One is Talking AboutWhy You're Sore All the Time (And What to Actually Do About it)The only resistance bands I recommendMy latest recommended ways to nourish and move your body, mind and spirit: Nourished Notes Bi-Weekly Newsletter30+ Non-Gym Ways to Improve Your Health (free download)Connect with Amy: GracedHealth.com Instagram: @GracedHealthYouTube: @AmyConnell

Today's episode feels like catching up with a friend—but one who challenges you to stop playing small.I'm joined again by Susan Guidi, who first appeared back in Episode 45. A lot has changed since then—and this chapter might be her most powerful yet.Susan started over as a single mom, built a business from scratch, discovered stand-up comedy, lost 45 pounds at 63, and stepped on a bodybuilding stage at 65. Most recently, she navigated a hip replacement and came out stronger—with a completely new perspective on resilience, recovery, and what it really means to keep showing up for yourself as you age. This conversation is honest, funny, and deeply real.We talk about: Why it's never “too late” to reinvent yourself  The mindset shift that changes everything in midlife  What recovery, strength, and resilience actually look like after surgery  The truth about aging, identity, and starting over  Why lifestyle—nutrition, strength training, sleep—still comes first  And Susan's powerful concept: “the dress of possibility”What if nothing is actually “too late”… and you've just been playing it safe?  Still waiting for the “right time”? This is your wake-up call. You can find my friend Susan Guidi on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kikimousegetsfit/_________________________________________If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, adding a layer of support may be an option.

Send us Fan MailMenopause is a natural part of aging, yet it remains one of the most scary and misunderstood stages of a woman's life. For this episode, our guest expert helps us separate fact from fiction regarding this transition. David Rogers, M.D., an OB/GYN with Texas Tech Physicians and associate professor and vice chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the TTUHSC School of Medicine, joins us to talk about the basics of menopause — what is actually happening in the body during this shift, the common symptoms to look out for, and the truth behind some of the most persistent myths. Dr. Rogers also provides insights into how women can manage their health during this phase and how to advocate for themselves.

As we enter our early forties, we step into a new life phase with a very different atmosphere and tone. We're shifting into a new paradigm, often accompanied by changes in our menstrual cycles and ourselves, some of which may be startling or very tricky to manage.Brain fog, memory issues, irregular cycles, heavy periods - the list goes on. You might notice that you have less tolerance for stress, tire more easily, and that your trusty sleep pattern isn't quite so trusty anymore.Today I'm chatting with Alexandra and Sjanie about how the practice of menstrual cycle awareness can be a vital source of support as we navigate these challenging years. Sjanie shares generously about her own experience of perimenopause, or as she calls it, the autumn of the menstruating years; from experiencing new levels of love, to reckoning with childhood trauma, and how her recommitment to the fundamentals of cycle awareness has supported her. Whether you're experiencing the psycho‐spiritual shift in the years running up to menopause, or you're supporting women and folks in the thick of it - perhaps your clients, family members. friends or colleagues - we hope this conversation helps to plug you into the practice of menstrual cycle awareness as a vital perimenopause resource.We explore:How to practice menstrual cycle awareness when your cycle is very irregular and how to claim your rest, even when you don't know when your next period is coming.What is at work on the psycho-spiritual level in the forties, and how the lens of the ‘quickening' can help to make sense of the challenges of these years. How Sjanie has navigated her trauma healing process in perimenopause, and the importance of community support in this life phase. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses nutrition and menopause, defining menopause as 12 months without a period and noting it can occur naturally or due to surgery/medical procedures. She links declining estrogen to increased cardiometabolic risk, endothelial dysfunction, vascular aging, musculoskeletal pain, and higher risks with early menopause (including cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and dementia), and notes many estrogen-modulated conditions are associated with gut dysbiosis. She emphasizes lifestyle—especially nutrition—as key, highlighting anti-inflammatory, minimally processed eating and warning against ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, and excess omega-6. She cites research that high adherence to a Mediterranean diet improves markers like heart rate, lipids, triglycerides, CRP, and overall cardiometabolic risk, and mentions omega-3s lowering triglycerides while modestly raising HDL and LDL. She reviews diet approaches for hot flashes, suggests reducing caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and carbs, notes some women require (bioidentical) HRT, and describes clients improving symptoms with dietary change.

Menopause is not a medical condition or gateway to decline. In this special series devoted to widening our circle of empathy for people who often feel marginalized or misunderstood, watch this illuminating episode featuring Shirley Weir, founder of Menopause Chicks.As one of Canada's most trusted voices in women's health, Shirley cuts through the stigma and misinformation about perimenopause and menopause. Instead, she reframes this mid-life transition as an invitation, arguing that the first generation of women to turn 50 have another 50 quality years ahead  of them - and that changes everything.Together, we discuss:How estrogen affects not just your ovaries but your brain, heart, bones, and sleepWhy sleep disruption is one of the most overlooked and consequential symptomsThe truth about hormone therapy The staggering cost of menopause to organizations without a planExtending empathy to women with menopausal symptomsThis conversation addresses the urgent need to reframe menopause as an invitation for women to invest in their health and quality of life for the decades ahead.00:00 Preview01:04 Introduction 02:58 About Shirley Weir04:58 Shirley's backstory06:55 What is perimenopause?11:12 Symptoms of menopause14:56 Shirley Weir's book, The Unexpected Joy of Menopause19:36 Hormone therapy as a first-line treatment for menopause24:11 Unpacking physiological changes in women's bodies29:36 Menopause at work: what employers are getting wrong or missing entirely35:58 The real cost of ignoring menopause at work42:23 How understanding your hormones empowers you at the doctor's office45:13 Perimenopause & libido: Why intimacy changes in midlife50:21 How partners can be more supportive without trying to fix everything54:33 Menopause as a social issue; not a personal one57:48 Shirley Weir's Purposeful Empathy storyCONNECT WITH SHIRLEY✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirleyweir/✩ Website https://menopausechicks.com/✩ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/menopausechicks/ CONNECT WITH ANITA✩ Email purposefulempathy@gmail.com ✩ Website https://www.anitanowak.com✩ Buy a copy of Purposeful Empathy http://tiny.cc/PurposefulEmpathyCA✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitanowak/✩ Instagram https://tinyurl.com/anitanowakinstagram✩ Podcast Audio https://tinyurl.com/PurposefulEmpathyPodcast✩ Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/anitanowak.bsky.socialSHOW NOTES✩ Feel Amazing: Your Invitation to Rethink Perimenopause, Menopause & Postmenopause https://fliphtml5.com/ctghh/euqe/✩ Menopause Chicks Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/MenopauseChicks✩ Shirley's White Paper https://6c96db96-14e3-4d32-b814-5ff916437257.usrfiles.com/ugd/6c96db_f06bcf5cc9ba46fa84a9582af7b8ede1.pdf ✩ Extent and Health Consequences of Chronic Sleep Loss and Sleep Disorders https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK19961/Video edited by Jad Misri, Green Horizon Studio

Louise Digby explains why two women can eat and exercise similarly yet see completely different fat loss results, arguing that the difference is not discipline or effort but how each body responds internally. Using two client examples, she describes “invisible variables” that affect progress, including blood sugar responses, stress load, sleep, digestion and nutrient absorption, inflammation, hormonal signalling, and nutrient status. She also discusses genetics as a factor that interacts with environment, and how a history of dieting, stress and poor recovery can make the body more protective and resistant to weight loss. Louise encourages shifting from pushing harder to understanding what the body needs to feel stable, supported and safe enough to respond.00:00 Why Fat Loss Feels Unfair02:23 Two Clients Same Plan06:02 Effort vs Results Spiral08:10 Invisible Variables Explained10:57 Genetics Not Destiny13:17 Your Body Keeps Score15:52 Stop Pushing Harder17:45 Work With Your Body19:28 Free Masterclass Invite20:12 Final TakeawayRegister for my free masterclass: https://www.louisedigbynutrition.com/meno-belly

Louise explains that metabolism isn't fixed or “broken” but a responsive, adaptive system that slows down and stores fat when the body perceives scarcity or threat from chronic dieting, under-eating, high exercise load, poor sleep and stress. She describes the calorie trap and adaptive thermogenesis, where cutting calories leads to unconscious reductions in movement and energy output, and challenges the myth that big differences in metabolic rate are purely genetic, highlighting metabolic flexibility instead. Louise outlines why changes often feel worse after 40 due to accumulated dieting and stress, hormonal shifts, muscle loss and reduced recovery, and emphasises the role of the nervous system, gut health, nutrient absorption and hormones such as thyroid. She lists common signs of metabolic adaptation and recommends consistent fuelling, regular meals, blood sugar stability, nervous system regulation, sleep, resistance training, gut support and addressing deficiencies, plus invites listeners to her masterclass.00:00 Slow Metabolism Myth00:40 Metabolism Is Adaptive03:04 Why Your Body Slows05:27 The Calorie Trap07:41 Metabolic Flexibility08:50 After 40 Changes11:00 Stress And Safety13:37 Gut Nutrients Hormones15:56 Signs Of Adaptation17:18 Rebuilding Metabolism19:51 Masterclass Invitation20:45 Final TakeawayRegister for my free masterclass: https://www.louisedigbynutrition.com/meno-belly

I currently have six paint samples on my living room wall.  They are all technically blue. None of them are the same.  Which feels… symbolic.  In this episode, I'm thinking about menopause not as art and refinement. As the shift from fluorescent to tonal. From performance to composition.  There's a turtle.  There's London. There's a river that looks like it's meandering but absolutely knows where it's going. And somewhere in the middle of all that: the quiet realisation that midlife might not be demolition, it might be editing.If you've ever stood in front of a wall thinking, “This one almost works… but not quite,” this conversation might feel familiar.Bring your undertones :)***************************✅T o put your name down on the waitlist for Becoming, here's the link:  www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming***************************

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt explores the intersection of travel, adventure, and women's health with Tara Short, founder of Green Edventures Tours. Tara shares her recent travel experience snorkeling with sperm whales in Dominica and discusses how her passion for nature and big animal encounters evolved from childhood dreams into a 17-year business leading adventure women travel groups. The conversation examines how travel serves as more than just recreation—it's a pathway to personal transformation, self-discovery, and healing that parallels the journey through illness and wellness. The episode delves into the unique barriers (historically) women faced in outdoor recreation and travel, from practical concerns like appropriate gear to deeper psychological fears about venturing into unfamiliar territory. Tara explains how her tours create non-competitive learning environments where women can step outside their comfort zones, whether climbing Kilimanjaro or simply joining a group of strangers on the other side of the world. She emphasizes the bravery inherent in saying "yes" to these experiences and how group travel allows women to rediscover themselves, let go of control, and reset their nervous systems through nature-based experiences. Dr. Amy and Tara announce an exciting collaboration: a Hot Springs and Mindfulness tour in Iceland scheduled for November 10-16, specifically designed to address the perimenopause and menopause. This intimate 10-person journey will combine wellness practices—including cold water therapy, flotation therapy, sound bathing, and visits with Icelandic wellness practitioners—with educational discussions about women's health during midlife transitions. The conversation concludes with reflections on how travel disrupts routines, promotes neuroplasticity, provides something to dream about, and ultimately contributes to both physical mobility and mental wellbeing as women age.

Doch oft fühlen sich Frauen in dieser Zeit überfordert, müde und allein gelassen.

New York Times bestselling author Melani Sanders is out with "The Official WE DO NOT CARE Club Handbook," a guide for women in menopause ... and the men who deal with them.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx                                                                                         Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones.  Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?                                                                            Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?     Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you     Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo?

Supporting Therapists and Clients Through Peri and Post Menopause - Door Knobbing in Counselling In Episode 359 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore getting over cancellation guilt, looking at what therapist cancellation guilt means, why it arises, and how to approach it with compassion and professionalism. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about supporting therapists and clients through perimenopause and post menopause - challenging outdated views and reframing this life stage as one of growth, not decline. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the phenomenon of doorknobbing - those last-minute disclosures from clients - and how to respond ethically and sensitively in practice. Getting Over Cancellation Guilt [starts at 03:09 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore getting over cancellation guilt, examining the emotional impact on therapists when they must cancel sessions and offering compassionate strategies to reframe the experience. Key points discussed include: Cancellation guilt is a common emotional experience, especially when sessions are called off at short notice. Ethically, prioritising self-care supports safer practice and protects the therapeutic relationship. Cancelling when unwell models healthy boundaries and gives clients permission to do the same. Communication is key - offer reassurance, alternative times, and avoid oversharing to prevent client worry. Contracting for cancellations upfront can reduce confusion and help manage expectations. Use supervision to explore guilt, recognise blind spots, and develop resilience in responding to these scenarios. Supporting Therapists and Clients Through Peri and Post Menopause [starts at 21:57 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill, REBT therapist and sports scientist, who shares insights from her CPD lecture on menopause and its implications for therapy. Key points from this conversation include: Menopause is often overlooked, under-celebrated, or medicalised - yet it is a significant life stage deserving validation. Therapists must reframe menopause as a natural transition rather than a deficit or decline. Ruth highlights how REBT and the ABCDE model can help clients challenge perfectionism and internalised stigma. Brain rewiring during menopause affects cognitive and emotional functioning - requiring compassion, not self-blame. The therapy space should allow for honest dialogue, normalising experiences like brain fog or hot flushes without shame. Menopause also affects therapists - being human and modelling acceptance benefits both client and practitioner. Door Knobbing in Counselling [starts at 45:39 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore ‘door knobbing' - when clients make significant disclosures just before leaving a session - and how practitioners can navigate this with care. Key points include: A doorknob comment is typically a serious or emotionally charged disclosure made at the end of a session. Clients may use this as a safety mechanism, dropping difficult truths when time is limited. Therapists should hold the client emotionally and assess immediate risk if necessary. Revisit doorknob comments in the next session with sensitivity - offer choice, don't impose an agenda. Supervision is essential when managing potential safeguarding issues or feeling overwhelmed. Know agency policies and procedures - particularly for harm to self or others - and act accordingly.

In today's episode - the finale of Season 5 - I am in conversation with luminary and renowned New York based gynecologist , Dr. Molly McBride.She shares how amazing it is to pivot later in life, how she enjoys being 60, and we talk about menopause - how it was for herself (tough) and how she helps women to manage this often complex time in life (peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopause).Dr. McBride is a passionate advocate for women's health and openly says, that she is disappointed in many of her colleagues, who simply still avoid to gain deeper knowledge about menopause and it's possible health consequences for women - from brain fog to osteoporosis, from "not feeling myself" to cardio-vascular diseases.Dr. McBride offers cutting edge services - and stresses the importance of listening to her patients, and validating their often still dismissed symptoms. She is a strong proponent of HRT - where applicable.She just relocated her practice to the Flat Iron district in Manhattan.
