Menopause Mastery

Women have fought hard for the rights we have today, but right now, we’re facing serious threats that could roll back years of progress. From the days of our grandmothers to today’s battles, there’s a new wave of attempts to take away basic protections like no-fault divorce—which means some women could be trapped in abusive marriages with no way out. This episode digs into the dark undercurrents of cultural and political pressures that keep women fighting for autonomy and safety. And with Menopause Awareness Month here, the timing feels urgent to stand together and protect what matters for ourselves, our daughters, and our granddaughters.   This conversation will give you the inside scoop on what’s happening right now and how these issues affect all of us, no matter where we’re coming from. Together, we can form a united front, no matter our political beliefs, because protecting women’s rights is everyone’s business. It’s time to raise our voices and resist, for us and for future generations. Let’s get real about what it takes to ensure we’re not letting these rights slip away.   And for those of us dealing with perimenopause, there’s some good news on that front. My new Estro Balance Mastery is here to help you feel more like yourself again—two capsules a day to handle those hormone swings, night sweats, and the brain fog that creeps in.

My new product, Estro Balance Mastery, is designed to help with those pesky hormone swings, brain fog, and night sweats. It’s got all the good stuff—like flaxseed extract and green tea—to help you feel like yourself again. Head over to metabolicblueprint.com/pod10 for 10% off your first bottle, and let’s get through this together! Key Takeaways: [05:17] Feeling unsafe inspired a lifelong quest for understanding. [08:09] Realization: everything sought externally is internal. [10:04] Life is in everyone; actions reflect on Christ. [14:59] Omega 6: essential yet potentially harmful nutrient.

I don't want to make something that can actually hurt them. So that's why I moved away from flaxseed, and that's why we made a blend. And in the blend, the ratio between two omega 3 and omega 6 is perfect because omega 3s have more health benefits because they're missing in so many people." — Udo Erasmus   "They have never told you that there's damage done to those oils by industry, even before you fry them and correct even more. And that the fact that they've been damaged and you get all these damaged molecules hasn't made the news. So people don't know. And the people who write these books have done half their homework. They see the research, they say there are problems. Instead of blaming the damaged molecules for the problems, they're blaming an essential nutrient that you have to have for every cell in your body." — Udo Erasmus   Links Mentioned: Estro Balance Mastery (Get 10% OFF first order): https://metabolicblueprint.com/pod10/   Connect with Udo Erasmus: Website: https://udoerasmus.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/UdoErasmus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theudoerasmus/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin/UdoErasmus   Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: 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

So what you have to do is, after you eat, ten to 20 minutes in the hour after you eat, do some sort of activity, not a full cardio or strength, anything, whether it be bodyweight, squats, lunges." – Dr. Herman Weiss   "Continue in that goal and continue in that direction and don't get discouraged with setbacks and don't get discouraged with not say, failures, but everything is temporary. Change that mindset. Make good habits, because that's what's going to carry you." – Dr. Herman Weiss   Links Mentioned: Get 10% Discount: https://metabolicblueprint.com/pod10/   Connect with Dr. Herman Weiss: Website: https://provationlife.com/ Educational Blogs: https://provationlife.com/blogs/education Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hweissmd LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/herman-weiss-md-mba-687a427/   Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/
