TODAY'S GUEST: Karen Martel is a Certified Hormone Specialist & Transformational Nutrition Coach and women’s weight loss expert.

She is the founder of the revolutionary program OnTrack, a women's hormone balancing & weight loss program and the host of the top-rated women’s health podcast The Other Side of Weight Loss.

After struggling with her own health issues, Karen was determined to bring her knowledge to others with a bold new approach to women’s health and weight management. Karen’s passion lies in helping women breakthrough weight loss resistance and find their personal weight loss code through diet variation and hormone optimization.

In today’s interview Karen shares some incredible, eye-opening information about how our female hormones (like estrogen and progesterone) can impact our insulin sensitivity. We also discuss: 

  • Karen’s own journey with female hormones and how she was able to lose weight, get off antidepressants, and improve her sleep, PMS and get rid of migraines
  • The age at which hormones tend to start declining (I was not happy about this! It was way earlier than I thought!)
  • Estrogen’s effect on insulin and how this impacts what we should eat during the first and second half of our menstrual cycles
  • Which hormone is responsible for water retention and insomnia
  • Why stress has a greater impact on your health in your 30s and 40s (psst - it has to do with progesterone!)
  • The connection between menopause, Type II Diabetes and estrogen
  • Why replacing hormones with bioidenticals is recommended over not replacing them
  • Why hormone replacement therapy got a bad rap
  • Why blood testing is NOT recommended for hormone testing and what to do instead

I was taking notes during this episode and it was one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done. You are going to be blown away by the information Karen shares!
