Karen’s passion lies in helping women breakthrough weight loss resistance and find their personal weight loss code through diet variation and hormone optimization.

In today’s interview Karen shares some incredible, eye-opening information about how our female hormones (like estrogen and progesterone) can impact our insulin sensitivity. We also discuss: 

• Karen’s own journey with female hormones and how she was able to lose weight, get off antidepressants, and improve her sleep, PMS and get rid of migraines
• The age at which hormones tend to start declining (I was not happy about this! It was way earlier than I thought!)
• Estrogen’s effect on insulin and how this impacts what we should eat during the first and second half of our menstrual cycles
• Which hormone is responsible for water retention and insomnia
• Why stress has a greater impact on your health in your 30s and 40s (psst - it has to do with progesterone!)
• The connection between menopause, Type II Diabetes and estrogen
• Why replacing hormones with bioidenticals is recommended over not replacing them
• Why hormone replacement therapy got a bad rap
• Why blood testing is NOT recommended for hormone testing and what to do instead

I was taking notes during this episode and it was one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done. You are going to be blown away by the information Karen shares!
