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.

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.

Enhance Your Sleep Through Ayurvedic Medicine - #73
According to the NIH, the overall prevalence of sleep disorders among postmenopausal women was 51.6%. About a third of women’s lives around the world are affected by disrupted sleep and menopause, and both of these have a large effect on their health. Sleep disturbance is a significant issue for midlife women and poor sleep has been shown to increase a woman’s risk for Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer, metabolic disease, and heart health. Here are some more stats:-10-30% of adults struggle with chronic insomnia-Women have a 40% increase in insomnia due to declining sex hormones-Menopause impacts women's sleep 2x more than men's-Alcohol disrupts sleep-80% of adults who use sleep medications report oversleeping, lack of focus, and grogginess, leading to neurodegenerationLearn about the stages of sleep, how all of your senses affect sleep, and what strategies, supplements, and Ayurvedic modalities support deep and restorative sleep for you.My guest today is Deepa Kanaan, an Allied Functional Medicine Practitioner, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Author, and a Yogini at OHA Health.

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.

Pilates For Your Menopause Journey - #70
Did you know that midlife women are at risk of losing 1% of their lean muscle mass per year starting at age 30? Did you know that midlife women are also at risk for declining bone health, leading to fractures, loss of strength and balance, and, eventually, loss of independence? Exercising during midlife is crucial to a woman's longevity plan. Fragility fractures are fractures resulting from a fall from standing height or less. These fractures, which most commonly occur at the hip, spine, or wrist, are an indication that the body's bones have been weakened by an underlying illness, mostly due to osteoporosis. Lean muscle mass keeps our bones strong and healthy. Exercise is a midlife woman’s greatest weapon to use against adverse aging consequences. There are many different forms of exercise from dancing to swimming, hiking to cross-country skiing, weight lifting to yoga, pilates and so much more. Ideally, you should find joy in movement, but sadly, many women have yet to find what works for them during midlife. I’m a huge proponent of moving the dial with weight-bearing exercises during midlife. While some women don’t love going to the gym, yoga, and pilates are both excellent ways of using your body weight to build lean muscle mass. My guest today is someone very special to me. Not only is she a longtime friend of mine, but she is an expert pilates instructor, who even invented a form of pilates for younger children. Lily Horowitz is a leading certified Pilates instructor with over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry. She was first exposed to Pilates 25 years ago as a student of the method. After personally realizing the benefits of the work, and seeing changes in her own body and physical ability, she was then trained and certified.Lily is originally from the Chicago area, where she is regarded as one of the premier and most effective Pilates instructors in the area. She is the founder of The Core Method: her proprietary instructional method, based on the founding principles of Joseph H. Pilates and the integration of other core development techniques. The Core Method is designed to create a total body experience that leaves you feeling and looking stronger, taller, and more balanced.Lily serves a diverse clientele but focuses on those 55 years and older and has many clients in their 80s feeling and looking great. She currently has three trademarked businesses: The Core Method, Stretch Strength and Stability, and Kidlates (a special program designed to bring movement and mental wellness to children).

Why Midlife Women Need a DXA Scan - #69
If you’re a midlife woman, then your bone health should be at the top of your list to check. As we age and transition from peri-menopause, to menopause, to post-menopause, our bone health is at risk, for some more than others. Here’s a stat from the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation: Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, about eight million or 80% are women. Approximately one in two women over age 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. A woman's risk of breaking a hip is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Our healthcare system isn’t about preventive medicine but waiting until the fire is burning to come in for the rescue. Perimenopause can start for women in their 30’s, the average age of menopause is 51. There’s a possible 15-20 years that your bone health could be declining, in conjunction with declining and fluctuating hormones, let alone years of a sub-optimal lifestyle and diet choices. One of the tests I recommend for all my midlife women clients to take is a DEXA scan, which is the gold standard for assessing your bone mineral density, and risk of osteoporosis. Unfortunately, most health insurance companies will not pay for this test as a preventive measure until you are 65 years old, 70 for men unless you have prior risk factors. You will want to be working with a doctor, practitioner, or health coach who is trained to properly read the results and help you navigate any bone health issues that you may have with lifestyle/diet, supplements, and possibly medications. You do not need a doctor’s prescription to go ahead and get a DXA scan, but if you want to try and have your health insurance cover it, then you do. Dr. Kristi DeSapri is back for a second time to go over what a DXA scan is, how it works, how to read the report, and then what the next steps are to take if needed. We will use my very recent DXA as an example. Dr. Kristi DeSapri is a board-certified internist specializing in midlife women’s health. After fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic, she has worked in private practice and academic medicine for over 13 years, including as the director of the Northwestern Women’s Bone Health program at the Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. She is currently opening Bone and Body Women’s Health, a concierge midlife women’s health practice in the Chicago area, focused on consultation and management of perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis, and sexual health.

Women's Health and Cellular Function - #68
Menopause is not just about gaining weight, having hot flashes, and not sleeping well. It’s also about the decline of our cellular health, which contains these essential organelles called mitochondria. I’ve talked about mitochondria in passing on numerous podcasts, and dedicated a full episode on Urolithin A, a gut metabolite that induces mitophagy, or the cleaning up of our mitochondria, so be sure to check that one out. As we age and start the process of menopause, which includes perimenopause, the strength, efficacy, and quantity of our mitochondria decline. So, the trick is to support these cellular powerhouses with lifestyle interventions (sleep, nutrition, stress management, exercise, mindfulness) and personalized supplements. Here’s what the science shows:1. A midlife woman’s gut health, her microbiome, changes during perimenopause. 2. That optimal gut health is vital to overall health and longevity. 3. Poor gut health, and menopause, open the door to chronic disease states.I tell my clients all the time, “You’re only as healthy as your cells”. During midlife, it is very important to support cellular health and energy so that you can reach your health goals. If your cells are struggling, you will struggle. Hair loss, weight gain, skin issues, low energy, brain fog, and stress are all signs of declining cell health. My guest today is an expert in cellular health. Dr. Monisha Bhanote, MD, FCAP, ABOIM, best-selling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, is an esteemed physician with quintuple medical board certifications, distinguishing her among the nation's luminaries in integrative medicine, functional culinary medicine, cytopathology, and anatomic/clinical pathology. Her brainchild, WELLKULÅ, combines ancient wisdom with modern mind-body science to envision a path toward optimizing health and longevity. Her interests include nutrition and the microbiome, the role of stress and inflammation in disease manifestation, applying mindfulness as a lifestyle practice, and cancer and disease prevention.

The Intervention and Longevity Connection - #66
In Parts 1 and 2, Dr. Savage and I dove deep into the early detection and prevention of chronic disease states. If you have not listened to those episodes yet, check out #60 and #62, where you will learn about the importance of discovering your unique health equation and how to support optimal health through labs and other tests. In this podcast, we dive deep into what intervention is, how to apply it in your anti-aging plan, and when to know it's time to intervene with a medical provider. When you have tried your very best to fix a health issue, such as constipation, hair loss, chronic fatigue, or weight loss and you just cannot reach your goal, you then seek intervention. Working with a medical provider, practitioner, or health coach is the intervention. Peptide therapy, hormone replacement therapy, exosomes, and TPE, or Therapeutic Plasma Exchange are all examples of interventions. Dr. Savage shares his expertise on each intervention, who are the best candidates, and when to use them during your health journey. Dr. Paul Savage is the founder and CEO of MDLifespan and has been a leader in longevity medicine since the late 1990s. Over the last 25 years of his medical career, he has focused on anti-aging and longevity therapies. He has developed a unique approach to building your longevity plan that includes detection, prevention, and intervention. He has built over 50 clinics across the United States and wrote the code for the industry standard software that’s helped millions of patients.
