  • Optimizing Hormones Early in Perimenopause

    Optimizing Hormones Early in Perimenopause
    Oct 15 2024

    My Guest:

    Emily Sadri is a Board Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse Midwife, and the founder of Aurelia Health, a modern telemedicine practice for women over 35. Aurelia Health provides comprehensive hormone replacement therapy and weight loss support with long visits and un-rushed care.

    Emily is passionate about making complex hormonal topics accessible and believes that great health starts with happy hormones and a balanced stress response.

    Questions We Answer in This Episode:

    • Why do you think there still so much confusion about hormone replacement therapy and if it's "good" or "bad"[00:18:56]
    • You suggest there are downsides to hormone testing… and I’m curious about why you’d say so? [00:22:50]
    • I’m also shocked to find some believe testing is unnecessary with estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy, that seems like a big fat game of trial and error and any woman on HRT knows that getting your cocktail right already is a course-correcting journey as it is - say more about these people who are shooting darts in the dark.. Who does that? [00:24:29]
    • First of all, what is balanced? How do you know when all of the major hormones are "balanced"? [00:27:52]
    • Do you think every woman benefits from testosterone replacement therapy? [00:34:26]
    • What additional factors do you focus on with your patients to help them be successful with HRT? [00:35:08]

    Few women were optimizing hormones early in perimenopause a decade ago. But the health outlook for those that do stands to be significantly better than for those women who experience drops then boost it again.

    Are you doing HRT in perimenopause? Or Did you?

  • Why Am I Sore in Menopause and What to Do About It

    Why Am I Sore in Menopause and What to Do About It
    Oct 11 2024
    In this episode you’ll hear me respond to one of our Flipping 50 members asking a question about being sore in menopause, for no reason. If you’re sore, stiff, or even have a little niggle or “catch,” this is for you. If you’ve passed this kind of thing off for arthritis or getting old, stick around. If not you, a girlfriend or sister needs to hear this. Paulette asked: “I'm looking for suggestions about what helps with muscle stiffness and soreness unrelated to injury. I have noticed in my transition to menopause that I have much more muscle stiffness and less flexibility, despite being quite active and doing yoga several times a week. It's mostly my legs and hips...and low back...well, probably every muscle...lol. I wake up stiff and it generally improves within a few minutes of movement, but I notice it throughout the day when I bend down, or try to get down on the floor or up from there. I'm sure this is a common complaint among 50 plus women...what helps with this?” Reasons for Being Sore in Menopause Some women experience this and it can be due to a lot of things… The changes in estrogen during menopause can lead to various symptoms. Specifically, estrogen deficiency can cause a snowball of symptoms. Some of the habits we thought were good, are actually not, or not going to match the status of our hormones and their influence on muscles, bones, connective tissues, gut health, sleep, sex and every cell in our body. Over time, women are finally getting more savvy. As we find more women less willing to accept weight gain, belly fat, frequent injuries, stiffness, or in this podcast, soreness as normal processes of aging… and instead as clues we need a pivot from prior habits or beliefs, we’ll all start making aging better instead of dreaded! Reduce or eliminate: DairyGluten / WheatEggsSoyPeanutsCornNuts (including almonds and almond flour or almond milk) Oxalate consumption can also be a problem. The body makes oxalate acid that can contribute to muscle pain or soreness as well as gut issues. (Listen to the podcast for a food high in oxalate and the flips) If you have any other leaky gut signs (gas bloating, constipation, diarrhea). But.. you don’t have to have these gut signs, by the way, to have a problem with the gut or these oxalates. They’re sneaky little things. Lack of Gut Issue Doesn’t Mean You Won’t Be Sore in Menopause Here are some suggestions for increasing your anti-inflammatory response. Add or increase: SalmonOmega 3 supplementsMagnesiumVitamin DAntioxidant rich brightly colored veggiesMatcha tea (a clean, tested for mold and heavy metals ceremonial grade is super high in antioxidants having one of the highest ORAC values) Habits: Epsom salt bathsLonger warm up and cool downInfrared SaunaPay a little more attention to your mobility work As a side note: Genetics play a part in whether you tend to get sore or not. There are two specific genes identified with this. Certainly with conditioning, you’ll experience less soreness. But a unique workout, involving small muscles you don’t use often will cause more muscle soreness than something that focuses on glutes or quadriceps that are used to a lot of activity.

  • How I Choose Podcast Guests and Controversial Topics

    How I Choose Podcast Guests and Controversial Topics
    Oct 11 2024
    In this episode, it’s all about how I choose podcast guests. First before we get started, I appreciate your thoughts. I work hard on keeping an open mind and listening to suggestions. Though I can’t take action on all of them, we are here because of you. There’s this dance between the expert, experienced, the educated individual in me giving advice even creating programs in a way that may go in opposition of what you want. That is because I’m applying 40 years of science studies, combining the physiology of fitness with physiology of menopause, and with the science of human behavior and change. We’ve created things that will make some of you contest the way we deliver them. I wanted to share how we come to accept or reject for now guests who apply for the show or who are pitched by PR firms. How we reach out to find professionals who can not only share science but share stories, theirs and clients or patients they’ve worked with. Someone recently was upset hearing a guest used Ivermectin to overcome C-19. Others have suggested that Ozempic or semaglutide, drugs were black and white. Another listener and social media follower said though she’d followed for years, she thought I’d lost it (meaning marbles) when I hosted someone discussing energy frequencies. I have experts who want to come on and talk about Keto and intermittent fasting. I have professional opinions about both based on my 40 years of experience working with midlife women and our community of more than 300K women. But I won’t just turn them away. I’ll ask if they’re open to a conversation about when and how and why it might not be appropriate for everyone all the time. If they’re willing to agree to disagree and to help a listener hear both sides of the story and decide for themselves what and when and why, I still may bring them on. I also reserve the right to not publish recordings that are poor sound quality, or a discussion that was terribly awkward when a guest didn’t answer questions I asked but followed some hidden agenda. How I Choose Podcast Guests and Topics for You In response to the Ivermectin question: Actually, many of the function physicians I work with use this personally if they've caught it soon enough. I don't know that we have to agree with 100% of what any expert or human does or says. But I do think personally we have to keep listening and taking in another set of thoughts. Otherwise, we'd still be believing that the retracted study data suggesting that HRT, specifically bHRT was a threat vs a life-preserving option for women. All said with respect. I wish I had the luxury of not listening to someone because I didn't agree with every thought: it would relieve a lot tension! But I've had to be willing to adjust my thinking and see science interpreted from all sides. Certainly, hope this isn't irritating and lands as intended for you as the means of my own filter for women. I've hosted Intermittent Fasting experts knowing fed exercise is more optimal for women in midlife and beyond for 8 years.. and guess what... they've come around, and two big proponents are now agreeing with the science suggesting that we have to choose priorities and timing of everything. That wouldn't have happened without someone challenging their thoughts and listening to the conversation. I must host those I agree with, those I don't, and be transparent about that. Not long ago, hormone replacement therapy was very misunderstood. Recently, someone I know well consulted with her physician and was told, going on would be more risky than not because it’s been too long since menopause. Other doctors are adamant that this is not the case. I’ll continue to bring them on. You DO have choices. One physician only has the experience they have and the degree to which they’re comfortable making changes in thoughts, information and actions …. Is the medical care you’ll receive from them. I’d love to hear your response to this episode.

Informercials without information

I was looking forward to getting something out of these podcasts. They ended up being interviews without substance where you have to find the website of the person she is interviewing and fork over a bunch of money to get any of the actual usable information.
