Nutrition Secrets for Perfect Hormone Balance

Are the "healthy" foods you're eating actually making your menopause symptoms worse? You might be shocked by what's sabotaging your progress.   In this episode of Menopause Mastery, I’ll reveal the hidden truth about foods that seem healthy but are actually triggering hormonal chaos during menopause. With over 20 years of experience helping women navigate menopause, I’ll explain why your metabolism decreases 15-20% during this transition and how certain foods are working against your body's new hormonal reality.   Discover why oatmeal and fruit, low-fat yogurts, and even that single egg with toast are spiking your cortisol, raising blood sugar, and making hot flashes worse. Learn about the three hormone-disrupting foods you must eliminate and the five powerful foods that can help reverse your symptoms - including one that reduced hot flashes by 70% in studies.   I share my client Sarah's success story - going from 15-20 hot flashes daily to just 3-4 by making simple dietary changes. Plus, get her practical tips on incorporating wild-caught salmon, omega-3 rich foods, and hormone-supporting nutrition into your daily routine.   Links: Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/ Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com       Connect with Dr. Betty Murray:   Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/     Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.
