675: Feeling Off After 40? The Surprising Vitality Molecule to Reignite Your Energy, Libido & Confidence with Cathy Eason
Looking for the key to unlocking your energy and potential in perimenopause and beyond?
In this episode, I’m joined by nutritionist and health expert Cathy Eason of Berkeley Life to talk about one of the most overlooked molecules for women’s health: nitric oxide.
We dive into how nitric oxide supports cellular and mitochondrial energy, helping women feel more like themselves again in midlife. Cathy connects the dots between nitric oxide and women’s hormonal health, metabolic resilience, and even sexual vitality.
So many common midlife struggles may actually stem from low nitric oxide levels, so Cathy’s here to educate you on what exactly you can do about it to feel better… and fast.
Soon you’ll see how this surprising molecule can help unlock more energy, vibrancy, and confidence as you navigate perimenopause and menopause.
Tune in here!

QUOTES
“We now know [this molecule] plays a role in women's health, especially in terms of gut function, in terms of sleep, in terms of immune function, hormone balancing, mental and emotional function, heart health, cardiovascular, and sexual function, too.”
“I'm a nutritionist, so I'm always looking for people to get dietary nitrates in food form, but knowing the levels of oxidative stress that we all experience, I know the need to supplement is also very foundational and very supportive of cardiometabolic health and my energy.”
