Midlife Women Need Postbiotics - #80

It is estimated that American adults consume 10-15g of fiber/per day and the RDA for adult women is to consume up to 25g and men up to 38g. As a whole, we are about halfway to where we need to be. We know fiber contributes to overall health and wellness, keeping you fuller for longer, aids in regular bowel movements, lowers cholesterol and stabilizes blood glucose levels. Did you know that consuming fiber leads to reduced levels of anxiety and depression, increased mood stabilization, weight loss and management, improved cognition, nutrient absorption, and decreased risk of colon cancer? When you eat fiber, it feeds the good bacteria in your microbiome, which in turn produce compounds called short-chain fatty acids, or postbiotics, and they are pretty important and fascinating. Women in menopause would greatly benefit from increasing their fiber intake for this reason alone.I have invited Ashley Koff to share her expertise on this topic to help you better understand what short-chain fatty acids are, why they matter to midlife women, and how to include more fiber in easy ways. It’s not the sexiest topic, but it’s a must-know for menopausal women.Ashley Koff is an award-winning personalized registered dietician and nutrition expert. For over 25 years, she has helped people identify optimal food choices to support their overall health. She coined the terms “Qualitarian” “INFObesity," and the mantra “Better, Not Perfect” and created the only existing definition for Better Nutrition to help people better understand what's better for them. She has appeared on shows, such as Good Morning America, Today Show, The Doctors, and The Dr Oz Show. She was selected as the Global Wellness Ambassador for Westin Hotels, InStyle Magazine, Hollywood’s Nutritionist, among CNN’s Top 100 Health Makers, and as an advisor for The Partnership for a Healthier America and Tufts University Nutrition Entrepreneurship program.

Histamine Intolerance and Menopause - #79

Many women entering perimenopause often experience the onset of new food and/or seasonal allergies or intolerances. Maybe you’re noticing new and strange symptoms after drinking alcohol, eating specific foods, or smelling fragrances. Maybe you're noticing adverse reactions to environmental compounds, such as hay fever, skin issues, like eczema, or even asthma. Did you know that estrogen stimulates the release of histamine and your body may struggle to excrete it? Higher histamine also leads to more estrogen being released in your body and you can see what a vicious cycle this can be.In my health coaching business, I work with many midlife women who know they have histamine intolerance and take a myriad of over-the-counter medications to suppress the adverse symptoms. I also work with women who have no idea and discover it along their health journey in working together. Personally, I never had allergies, and all of a sudden in menopause seasonal allergies appeared. It’s all too common and very much overlooked.Dr. Meg Mill, PharmD, is also a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience. Her virtual Functional Medicine practice has transformed the lives of hundreds of clients worldwide by connecting the dots between their diverse unexplained, and often overlooked health struggles, such as migraines, gut issues, chronic fatigue, skin reactions, anxiety, or allergies. She uses her EAT Method to uncover and resolve the underlying connections whether it's histamine intolerance, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, or MCAS. She empowers clients to take back control of their health so they can regain the energy, mental clarity, and confidence needed to fully show up for their lives again.She has been seen in national publications and on media such as Fox News Channel, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Forbes Health, Reader's Digest, Forbes Health, Health Magazine, Mind Body Green, Authority Magazine, Life & Style and Sunset Magazine as well as several national publications, blogs, and podcast guest appearances.

Optimizing Your Emotional and Mental Health During Menopause - #76

Two of the most common symptoms during the menopause journey are increased levels of anxiety and depression. The decline of women’s sex hormones creates a plethora of adverse effects, such as weight gain, insomnia or fragmented sleep, hair loss, loose skin, loss of lean muscle mass, brain fog, night sweats, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, and more. These devastating changes are driving women to feel frustrated, confused, and depressed about their current state of health, including how they look and feel. Building your healthcare team during this time is essential for overall mind-body health. This should include a NAMS-certified OBGYN, an OBGYN who is well-versed in HRT, a General Physician, or a Functional Medicine MD, a health coach to help you navigate lifestyle behavior changes, a fitness expert to help you stay strong, and, for some women, a therapist or psychiatrist to support your mental and emotional well-being so you can continue to thrive in life.Psychiatrists prescribe psychopharmacology to their patients and most leave it at that. What if there was a psychiatrist who also prescribed healthy lifestyle behavior modifications alongside medication? My next guest practices something called cosmetic psychiatry and it’s fascinating. Dr. Andreea Seicean, MD, PhD, MPH, is the Clinical Director of Like MySelf Wellness. She is an ABPN Board-Certified Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist, clinical investigator, scientist, and Professor. She completed her training at Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Clinic, and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Her PhD is in epidemiology and biostatistics and she’s an expert in outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and quality improvement. She has over 40 publications and received multiple awards from The National Institute of Mental Health, The American Psychiatric Association, and The American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Dr. Seicean has served as Psychiatrist and Clinical Director of the MidAmerica Mental Health clinics in Indiana and River North Psychiatry in Chicago. Dr Seicean is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago where she continues to be active in research and teaches psychopharmacology (medication management) to psychiatry residents. She has extensive experience reviewing and managing medications and treating depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, and addiction. She also specializes in cosmetic psychiatry, focusing on improving performance, quality of life, and self-esteem. This can include stress eating and weight loss, school and work performance, insomnia, irritability, stress, and life transitions.

Heart Disease Risk and Midlife Women - #75

According to the CDC, over 60 million women (44%) in the United States are living with some form of heart disease. This is from the American Heart Assoc: more than one in three women is living with some form of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year – more than all cancers combined. According to the British Heart Association: after menopause your cholesterol levels can go up, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke. Your body cannot control sugar levels (glucose) as well – this can increase your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and weight gain, which we know as metabolic syndrome.Women have historically been studied less regarding heart disease risk, although that is changing with some very impressive women cardiologists. As women move through the menopause transition, it has been shown that as estrogen levels decline, a woman’s CVD risk may increase. Estrogen is heart protective and more is being done to educate and screen women to see if they are good candidates for MHT. But, still, so many women remain confused, and overwhelmed, by the barrage of information on the internet, the misinformation, or lack of information, provided by their doctors, and their current fear-based understanding of taking MHT and getting breast cancer.  In this episode, we discuss standard lipid panels versus comprehensive lipid panels, including ApoB, Lp(a), the Cholesterol Balance Test, particle size and numbers, and what are optimal lab results. We also take a deep dive into my recent advanced lipid labs so you can see what it looks like and learn how to read the results. We talk about cholesterol, dietary and synthesized, as well as, saturated fats and their effects on lipids. Watch on my YouTube Channel for the most beneficial experience. We start to talk about genetics- stay tuned for Part 2! And, we talk about additional tests and treatments, including pharmaceuticals and natural options. It's February 2024, which is National Heart Disease Month and I have a very special guest joining me who will bring you some clarity on the topic of assessing your risk of heart disease as you transition through menopause and beyond.Dr. Michael H. Davidson is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and clinical lipidology. He’s a Professor of Medicine, Director of the Lipid Clinic at The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of New Amsterdam Pharma. Dr. Davidson earned his medical degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed his residency and fellowship in cardiology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. An active researcher, Dr. Davidson’s clinical research background encompasses pharmaceutical and nutritional clinical trials. His extensive research on statins, novel lipid-lowering drugs, and nonpharmacologic risk factor reduction have established him as a world opinion leader. He's a prolific author and lecturer on lipid disorders, nutrition, and atherosclerosis, and has coordinated more than 1,000 clinical trials in areas of preventive cardiology, published more than 250 articles for leading medical journals, and has written 3 books on Lipidology. He has been named one of the The Best Doctorsin America for the past 15 years and was named Father of the Year by the American Diabetes Association in 2010. Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.

Optimize Your Lymphatic System During Menopause - #74

Anyone who’s ever had a massage understands the magic of what trained hands can do to your body, your mind, and the rest of your day. Bodywork techniques, such as massages, rolfing, reiki, cupping, and acupuncture have been around for a very long time. There is documented evidence that the first massage technique, under the umbrella of Ayurveda, was introduced back in 3000 B.C. In this episode, the focus is on the lymphatic system and menopausal health. The lymphatic system is the sewer system of our body and we’d be dead without it. It’s responsible for clearing out toxins, waste, bacteria, and water from our body that build up in our tissues. Lymph travels alongside the circulatory system, branching out all over our body. Lymphatic massage has long been used for people who suffer from edema, or acute swelling in the body, perhaps due to surgery, lymphedema, a chronic condition of the swelling of mostly limbs, and other conditions. Dr. Christine Schaffner, a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor, shares her expertise and science-backed wisdom about the importance of the lymphatic system. She has helped thousands of people recover from chronic or complex illnesses. Dr. Schaffner goes beyond biological medicine, pulling from all systems of medicine and healing modalities--helping patients reclaim their wellness. She completed her undergraduate studies in Pre-medicine and Psychology at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and earned her Doctorate at Bastyr University.With her diverse skill set, Dr. Schaffner seeks to improve access, outcomes, and speed of recovery for patients struggling with chronic, complex, and mystery illnesses.Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.

Healing Stored Trauma During Menopause - #72

This episode is either going to resonate with you immediately or be eye-opening. Either way, it’s going to be intriguing. My guest and I are talking about stored trauma in the body, what it is, how it happens to us, and what we can do to heal ourselves. Stored trauma impacts bodily inflammation, chronic stress, sleep, gut health, and hormonal imbalances. Midlife and menopause are hard enough, but if you are dealing with stored trauma on top of that, and most of us are whether you are aware or not, then it makes for a much more complicated journey. Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double Board-Certified Physician in Preventive and Addiction Medicine with double Master's degrees in Biochemistry and Public Health, is at the forefront of trauma and health. She combines her training across functional medicine, attachment, and trauma therapy to bring the Biology of Trauma® lens to the world, where she shows the difference between stress and trauma to the body and not just how trauma becomes our biology, but how our biology keeps us stuck in chronic trauma patterns. Her journey as a foster and adoptive parent, coupled with her personal experience of chronic health issues, infuses her work with profound empathy and practical tools. Her journey required a different understanding of stress and trauma than she was taught in medicine, inspiring her to get precise with tools. She wants to empower people to be able to accelerate their trauma-healing journey as part of an integrative approach to trauma healing that includes supporting their biology.She is the founder and CEO of Trauma Healing Accelerated. She simplifies the complexities of unresolved stored trauma, offers a clear path forward, and trains other professionals to do the same.Through her work, Dr. Aimie has impacted over 300,000 people globally, training professionals, leading innovative online summits and courses, and hosting a podcast and YouTube channel. Dr. Aimie's vision is to transform the trauma model and her mission is to bring the lens of the Biology of Trauma® to every medical and mental health educational system by the year 2041.Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.

Midlife Women and Autoimmune Diseases - #71

Women have a fourfold increase in risk of autoimmune disorders than men and 80% of the people who have autoimmune issues are women. Some autoimmune disorders are triggered during the perimenopausal through postmenopausal time frame (30-60 years of age). While more research is needed, it is proposed that sex hormones, the microbiome, environmental factors, and the X chromosome may be very much connected to autoimmune disorders in women. It is broadly known and accepted by many functional medical doctors, but not so much in the conventional healthcare model, that consuming gluten causes a leaky gut that leads to gut dysbiosis that can then lead to chronic inflammation and autoimmune disorders. Should midlife women stop eating gluten during the menopause transition and beyond? Would doing that support better skin, brain health, gut health, weight loss, healthy hair growth, and heart health? Let’s find out.My guest is Dr. Tom O’Bryan, who comes with many accolades- too many to list. Here are some highlights: He is a doctor of chiropractic and clinical nutritionist a member of and on the teaching faculty board of The Institute for Functional Medicine, the International & American Associations of Clinical Nutritionists, the American Chiropractic Association, and the International Academy of Preventive Medicine. He is a recognized world expert on gluten and its impact on health. He is an internationally recognized and sought-after speaker and workshop leader specializing in the complications of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, Celiac Disease, and the development of Autoimmune Diseases.Dr. O'Bryan is on a mission to educate patients and healthcare practitioners across the globe about the many possible manifestations of non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease and why patients with gluten-related disorders require treatment programs that go beyond just a gluten-free diet.Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.
