Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment #73 - Misconceptions surrounding Peri-menopause and Menopause and what your doctor didn't tell you with Kate Deering
Our friend Kate Deering, the author of Heal Your Metabolism and just all round awesome human, is back! If you haven’t read her book How to heal your metabolism I highly recommend it.
We attract women of all ages into our Winatlife program but a large chunk of them are in their 40's and 50's and many of them suffer from perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
Things like hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness and weight gain.
Through diet and lifestyle changes we've not only helped them improve all their symptoms but also lose weight.
They didn't have to cut sugar, carbs, dairy or do a tonne of cardio to get these results.
Kate is almost 50 years old, and I turned 40 in January this year. So, we decided to sit down and talk about what is actually happening in the body during this time, the misconceptions surrounding it, what your doctor didn't tell you and how to support the body during this time of life.
In this episode, we discuss:
➡️What is perimenopause? What is menopause?
➡️Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause (and what is actually going on)
➡️What hormones increase/decrease under stress
➡️How certain diets, over-exercising, and more cause stress
➡️The estrogen misconception
➡️Hormone replacement therapy
➡️The importance of progesterone
➡️What should women in perimenopause and menopause do to support their bodies
➡️Foods that are beneficial for women during this time
➡️Why gradual changes are key
➡️How and why strength training is beneficial during perimenopause and menopause
➡️Being realistic when it comes to the time it takes to improve symptoms
➡️And more!
