Greatest Hits: How Hormone Changes Impact Your Weight with Dr. Betty Murray


Listen Later

Dr. Betty Murray joins me today to share lots of new information! We discuss how changes in estrogen- both too much during perimenopause and not enough after menopause, lead to metabolic changes in the cells that slow your metabolism. We get into how the genetics that control estrogen detoxification may lead to weight gain and risk for diabetes, obesity, and cancer, how menopause interferes with the key cellular fat switch, and the foods that turn that fat switch on. Betty also shares her three diet rules that may need to be broken to lose weight and keep it off for life.

Three diet rules for losing weight:

  1. Avoid fake sweeteners
  2. Stay hydrated 
  3. Avoid purine-rich foods and flavor enhancements

  4. Dr. Betty Murray’s Bio:

    Betty Murray is a nutrition expert, Ph.D. researcher, certified functional medicine practitioner, and speaker.

    Betty helps women over 40 harness their hormones to lose weight, optimize sleep, restore energy, and thrive in life. 

    During her research for her Ph.D., Betty made 4 key discoveries that lead to hormone and metabolic imbalances that plague women over 40. 

    Restoring balance to these key metabolic and hormone pathways is the basis of her Hormone Reset Program. This program has helped her and hundreds of her clients lose weight easily, reduce hot flashes, restore sleep, and turn up their energy without living on a diet of deprivation. 

    She is also the host of the Menopause Mastery Podcast and the founder and CEO of Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center. 

    She is a frequently featured nutrition expert on Fox News Broadcasting, CW33, NBC, and CBS.
