Plus, she unpacks the hidden role of stress, environmental toxins, and why today’s generation is hitting perimenopause way sooner than our mothers did.

In this episode of Menopause Mastery, I’m diving deep into something I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years… It’s not about calories. It’s not about working out more. It’s about cortisol. If you’ve been doing all the right things—eating well, exercising, cutting calories—and you’re still struggling with belly fat, insomnia, high blood pressure, or blood sugar issues… you’re probably being overlooked by the current medical system. In this episode, I break down the newest research from the CATALYST study, and why nearly 30% of women may have cortisol-related imbalances that never get diagnosed. I’m also sharing something HUGE—a new medication that blocks cortisol receptors and could be a total game-changer for those of us dealing with stubborn weight, fatigue, and hormone chaos.   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.

In this transformative episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Tiffany Duffing, a clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, to explore the powerful (and often overlooked) link between your gut, brain, and hormones—especially during perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve been struggling with IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or unexplained digestive issues, this episode uncovers why your symptoms might be more about your nervous system than your diet—and how tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and clinical hypnosis can help retrain your gut-brain connection and bring lasting relief. Dr. Duffing breaks down the science behind visceral hypersensitivity, stress-induced flares, and the subconscious patterns that drive digestive symptoms. You’ll learn why traditional treatments often fall short, how to calm your system from the inside out, and what actually works when healing from chronic gut issues—especially during hormonal transitions. ✨ Whether you're dealing with IBS, navigating perimenopause, or curious about the gut-mind connection, this episode is packed with hope, science, and healing strategies you’ve probably never heard before.

In this must-listen episode of Menopause Mastery, our host sits down with Cynthia Thurlow, NP, a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting expert, and TEDx speaker whose talk on fasting has amassed over 15 million views. Together, they explore the real impact of intermittent fasting on women's health, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. Cynthia dives deep into the science behind fasting, explaining how it affects metabolism, hormones, and longevity. She reveals why fasting isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—and how the wrong approach can lead to muscle loss, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic slowdowns. You’ll also learn why fasting works differently for women, the biggest mistakes people make with OMAD (One Meal a Day), and how to balance fasting with proper nutrition to build muscle, maintain energy, and support healthy aging. If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and struggling with weight gain, fatigue, or metabolic changes, this conversation is packed with game-changing insights and actionable strategies to help you take control of your health.
