My top 10 lessons learned in 2020 Lesson 9 Night sweats. Mood swings. Insomnia. Hot flushes. Weight gain. Headaches. Depression. Anxiety. Dry Skin. Vaginal Atrophy . . . I could go on. It’s a sad list, isn’t it? Yet these are just a few of the often times debilitating side-effects of peri-menopause and menopause. You would hope that a list of such symptoms in women in their 40s and 50s would be enough to at least pique a doctor’s interest and encourage them to find a solution. But unfortunately that is not the case. Instead women are being met with ignorance and even sexism by the people who they regard as medical professionals including Medical doctors, Functional MD's, Nutrition Coaches and even Hormone "experts"! The number of postmenopausal women has only risen over time. Statistics show that in the year 1998, only 477 million postmenopausal women were present in the world however, this number is expected to rise to around 1.1 billion by 2025.  Estrogen at one time was the #1 prescribed medicine in North America. Helping women all around the world sail through their menopausal years. Then something changed and the world became misinformed and unjustifiably scared of hormone replacement.  In this episode I carefully go over the study that ruined millions of women's lives. How we have been mislead into believing from our highly respected health practitioners that estrogen and hormone replacement therapy is bad. Why it is of the utmost importance that women educate themselves on this and help me to spread the word so women do not have to suffer needlessly.  Check out the Women's Wellness Shop your one stop shop for women's bioidentical hormones and supplements.

My top lessons learned in 2020. Keto, carnivore, fasting and one meal a day (OMAD) have taken the dieting world by a storm for the last few years. In 2017-2018 I was all over the ketogenic, fasting based diets. These diets work and they can provide easy weight loss for many people.  But over the last few years I started seeing negative side effects from these diets. Including weight gain, thyroid problems, adrenal issues, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, loss of menstruation and more! I had to come up with a way to utilize these diets for their benefits without the negative side effects.  In this episode I break it all down for you.  why these diets work in the beginning what does the research show when it comes to the best diets how I use keto, fasting and carnivore in my own practice what I started to witness in my own practice and membership groups what the negative side effects are and why they happen what I discovered that could allow women to get the benefits of these diets with the negative consequences the evolutionary purpose of being able to produce and survive off ketones but what long term production signals to our bodies what it does to our hormones and metabolism what OMAD really is and much more!

My top 10 lessons learned in 2020! Social media has been linked to higher levels of loneliness, envy, anxiety, depression, narcissism and decreased social skills. I realized this year that often times after scrolling through Facebook and Instagram that I felt less then. Without meaning to I was comparing myself to women that I was seeing online. Our expectations of what we should look like is being controlled by what we see online which unfortunately isn't  realistic. There is a small population, very small, of women that have so called "perfect bodies." The majority of the population has stretch marks, cellulite, muffin tops, tummy flaps, skin imperfections, fine lines, wrinkles etc. So this year I implemented  some great tools to help keep a body positive attitude.  This episode is sponsored by LetsGetChecked.

But doctors are not trained to get to the root cause and in this episode I am going to break it all down for you.
