399: Natural Perimenopause Treatment Using Maca Root Powder (What The Research Says + How It Helps Menopause AND Manopuase In Men) w/ Dr. Deanna Minich


Listen Later

Have you tried maca root for perimenopause, menopause, manopause (low T), adrenal fatigue, or hormone imbalances and felt like it didn’t work—or even made things worse? While it’s often marketed as a universal hormone balancer, not all maca is created equal. Different types of maca root affect the body in very different ways, so using the wrong kind can actually worsen symptoms triggering anxiety, acne, or energy crashes.

In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD—nutrition scientist and educator —returns to unpack the science behind maca’s many forms. With over 20 years of experience in both academia and the natural health industry, Dr. Minich shares…

🤔Why not all maca root supplements work the same way

⭐️Best type of maca for perimenopause and menopause

😬How store-bought maca blends can worsen symptoms (beware if you’re just adding it to a smoothie or making maca balls)

🎉Tips to choose an effective maca supplement

Before you buy another bag of maca root powder or maca supplements, here’s what you need to know to choose the right type for your hormonal needs.
