Aging and Hot Flashes: Surprising Cause and Finding Relief | Dr. Hana Kahleova

A compound that can impact the aging process also seems to affect the severity of hot flashes.   Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are often overlooked, but should get a closer examination to slow down the aging process, reduce hot flashes, and improve overall health among women.   Dr. Hana Kahleova shares what AGEs are, what foods have the most, and how different ways of cooking can substantially increase the amount of AGEs. There can be a big difference in the levels for the same food depending on whether it is grilled, boiled, microwaved, or eaten raw.   Dr. Kahleova joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast with details and insight the foods that fight aging, reduce hot flashes, and improve your health.   Chuck also revisits a conversation with Ann Friday who once felt like a prisoner in her heavily layered police uniform when severe hot flashes would strike. Underneath layers of clothing and a thick bulletproof vest, she roasted as the sweltering heat became trapped on her body with no escape. She would lose sleep as hot flashes flared up in the middle of the night. Having tried everything, she finally found a way to cool off and calm the hot flashes by making one big change.   Ann’s story was featured in Dr. Neal Barnard’s book Your Body In Balance. — — SHOW LINKS — — Hot Flashes and AGEs Study https://bit.ly/HotFlashAGEsStudy — — — Your Body In Balance https://amzn.to/2UvAfxW   — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE in New York Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveNYC2023 When: July 12 Where: Museum of the City of New York Who: Chuck, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Robert Ostfeld, Rip Esselstyn   — — FOLLOW US — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — The Exam Room Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm   — — — 5-Star Success: Follow & Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
