Jamie & Teresa wanted to squeeze in one more nutrition with the menstrual cycle episode this season! This episode will focus on the principles of fasting and incorporating this as a tool to help our bodies and our hormones. The inspiration behind this episode came from Jamie reading the book by Dr. Mindy Pelz called 'Fast Like a Girl', and how it inspired Jamie to really think about how fasting could potentially be a helpful tool for some women to implement. We realize that anytime we bring up nutrition and ways to eat, it can be triggering to many so we want to be sure you know that our goal is to just inform, and we do not want to push any sort of dietary intervention on any woman who feels that it could be harmful to them in anyway. This is why we want you to learn for yourself, talk to your doctor, and healthcare providers about your unique situation and make sure you feel called to any nutritional approach you take for your body. What Jamie & Teresa love is learning ourselves, and we love sharing what we have learned with you our listeners. So consider this a fun interview about what we learned from Dr. Pelz and our own knowledge about the cycle and how we can optimize our nutrition to help our hormones, help our menstrual cycles and performance on so many levels of life. We hope you enjoy this episode and share with your friends!

Have you been wishing there was a resource for young women that would give them all the information they need to know about their body, their fertility cycle, and their hormones? Do you wish young women knew that there are alternatives to using birth control to treat period problems? In a world where women are often told that their bodies need to be controlled or suppressed, a new book from Lumen Press, in partnership with The Guiding Star Project and the Vitae Foundation, offers a different narrative. Written by women’s health nurse practitioner and co-creator of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Teresa Kenney’s new book The Happy Girl’s Guide to Being Whole aims to set young women free to believe their bodies were made good, and should be supported and respected. With over 22 years of clinical practice, working with women across the reproductive lifespan, and her service on the board of directors of the Guiding Star Project, a national, “wholistic” women’s health movement, Kenney’s experience amounts to a wealth of information for women seeking the truth about their bodies. Jamie will interview Teresa about her new book and what it all entails, how it could change the life of a woman you love, and where you can grab your copy today! It is available at lumenpress.org and on Amazon today, and do not forget to leave a review :) Especially on Amazon to help more women see this book as they are browsing for books about body literacy! https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Girls-Guide-Being-Whole/dp/1735223727/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2C23LSP0CLXJE&keywords=teresa+kenney&qid=1684895726&sprefix=teresa+kenney%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-1 https://www.lumenpress.org/product/the-happy-girls-guide-to-being-whole/ Medical disclaimer: The information presented in The Hormone Genius Podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for actual medical or mental health advice from a doctor, psychologist, or any other medical or mental health professional.

You may have heard that changes occur for women after the age of 45, and that some of these changes may not be positive. Well, there is truth to the first, and as far as the second, health and body changes become a manageable life skill as women after 45 still can live their best life in optimal health. The focus needs to be the long game, not the short game, and reasonable goals that are appropriate for where our lives are going 45 and beyond. Jamie & Teresa will dive into this issue and specifically address concerns around weight management during the 40's and beyond, around exercise, nutrition, stress & sleep, which are essentially the 4 pillars of health we all need to be focusing on, no matter what age we are. Jamie & Teresa are not going to claim to have some magic pill, or magic diet, or protocol that is the right thing for every person, but hopefully you will take away some empowering tips and helpful advice that will allow you to make the best individual decisions for you health today! Enjoy and share with a friend you love.
