As we wrap up Menopause Awareness Month, it's important to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that menopause presents for women. Menopause is not just a natural process; it is a medical health crisis that affects every aspect of a woman's life. From physical health to mental well-being, menopause has a profound impact on women's overall quality of life.    Join me in this week’s episode as I discuss the need to address menopause as a medical health crisis. I criticize the current approach of medicalizing menopause as a cognitive behavior therapy problem and emphasize the importance of understanding menopause as a physiological change and a sign of accelerated aging.    I also argue that menopause is a public health crisis that requires attention from both the medical community and businesses, and highlights the role of the ovaries in influencing various body systems and emphasizes the need for interventions that go beyond symptom management.    Let's break the silence around menopause and demand better solutions for women's health. It's time to invest in research and interventions that address the underlying hormone imbalances and improve our quality of life!

Many women often feel a sense of disconnection during menopause, as they associate themselves with their younger selves. However, it's important to embrace our emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects as well. When we integrate all these pieces, we become unstoppable!   In our latest episode of the Menopause Mastery, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lana Kerr, a Certified Nutrition Consultant, Emotional Intelligence Coach, and Founder and CEO of Lumisque, a company that provides skincare products to medical providers as well as through e-commerce. We delved into a subject that may be a little uncomfortable for some but is incredibly important for all women to address – menopause and the concept of the CO2 lift and its potential benefits for women's sexual function.   Lana and I fearlessly tackle subjects that are often considered taboo or uncomfortable for women to discuss openly. From menopause to weight loss, we shed light on these important issues and provide a safe space for women to explore and find solutions.

I felt very different, things were changing, and I couldn't really identify. I just knew that I wasn't enjoying sexual intercourse in the same way. " – Lana Kerr   "I'm so glad you're having these conversations. And I kind of wish that we had it even when I was younger, like when I was in my 30. I wish, because then you have the other challenges that come with even after childbirth, what happens down there, it changes.

Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs in women as they age, marking the end of their reproductive years. During this phase, women experience a range of symptoms due to hormonal changes, including hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and increased risk of certain health conditions such as diabetes.

So, if I have a spike of my blood sugar and it drops fairly rapidly, I know that I have a pretty healthy insulin response or in some cases, in my case, I would say I have a pretty robust, maybe a little overly robust insulin response. We want insulin to do its job, but of course we don't need insulin to spike heavily.
