Some say that with menopause, we just have to go through it. And some have gone through it for 5 years, 10 years, and even 20 years. Even I remember my surgeon friends telling me that I just have to suffer through it. But getting your mojo back is possible. One of our OG MENO-Mates is Amanda who also didn’t want to put up with suffering in menopause. After she joined the program, it didn't matter how many symptoms she was suffering from.

A common symptom of menopause is loss of sex drive, and it not only affects our own self-esteem, but it can also affect our relationships. The thing is, some think we're not supposed to struggle with sex and that it's something that's just supposed to happen naturally. What’s worse is if it's not really working… something must be wrong. As a result, people tend to feel broken, inadequate or really afraid. But there is a way to share pleasure and connection with your partner and it doesn't need to be stressful. We’re here to let you know that nothing is broken.

In the Menopause Movement’s courses, I talk a lot about how sugar's not good for us by any means, but I think it's nowhere near as toxic as seed oils. Not to mention that this gets to weight gain since it changes our cravings (it can make you want more sugar and carbohydrate-rich foods that raise blood sugar). But it doesn’t end there. Seed oils deplete your brain of energy. We talk about that and more in today’s second episode of The Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast with globally recognized nutrition and metabolism thought leader, New York Times bestselling author, and speaker, Dr. Cate Shanahan.

There's power in how we tend to handle rejection and interpreting what “No” means. Even in my business where let’s say 99% of the people will say no, seeing those 1% make their lives better plays a huge role in how I continue helping women in the Menopause Movement. When we have a dream or a desire that we want to get, it’s important that we take the next easiest step that is impossible to fail so we don’t give up. Then we elevate ourselves. We talk about that in today’s episode with Victoria Wieck who has built a multi-million dollar business with over $500 million in retail sales after starting her own company in 1989 on a shoestring budget to spend more time with her family.

She immigrated from South Korea to America with her parents with only thirty dollars and has built a multimillion-dollar business with over $500 million in retail sales.

The effects of estrogen on the brain are so profound that when it drops, it can feel like all of it is suddenly gone instead of experiencing a slow decline. Then the brain has to readjust while we go through the changes. The sad thing for some however, is when they ask for help from a doctor they expect would have an answer… they would just be dismissed. But there's no reason why we should have to suffer through anything. There’s help available because your body matters. In today’s podcast, we’re going to talk about getting perimenopause help where I’m joined with founder and CEO of Mighty, Jeanne Chung. Tune in today and find that one small and easy thing that you can do to start choosing yourself.

About the Guest:

 

Jeanne Chung is the founder and CEO of MIGHTY. Jeanne combined her unique professional background with the passion to transform the status quo around women aging and menopause.

 

She's part analytical nerd with an engineering degree from University of Michigan and an MBA from MIT, which led her to management consulting and tech investment banking. She is part hippy wellness entrepreneur, having practiced yoga, and taught over two decades. Owned and operated a chain of yoga studios that served nearly a million students, built and led a global yoga teacher training company that trained hundreds of yoga teachers from around the world. 

 

Jeanne’s personal experience with perimenopause was such utter crap. So she decided to design her own supplement and develop MIGHTY. And since the beginning her vision extended beyond menopause because helping women through the menopause transition is more than just modernizing menopause. It's about getting women through menopause so they can be radiant and vital as they age.

We've been talking about the MENO-Mate way of eating in the Menopause Movement to help women ease their symptoms through diet, and I say this to the women who come through our programs: Inflammation really starts with our food.

“I am” is a very powerful statement.

It’s the statement of identity and it’s so much more than a story. I used to say I hate running, until I actually did it.

I'm not gonna say it's always easy. On some days, it really sucks because the runs are difficult.

But the body can do a lot more than we think.

I had this big epiphany about weight loss because weight loss is hard.

And it's hard for a number of reasons. I think one of the reasons it's hard is because we have to change things and change behaviors (that’s hard too).

I didn't start running until menopause (I mean, I ran when I was 18 and then when I was in high school just for fun, then I had open heart surgery, and I never went back to it).

Back in 2015, we filmed a TV show, and we went to Majorca so I had to train to go up a mountain.

I rode my bike up this mountain, trained with a trainer, and then I realized that I could do a lot more with this body and I was probably 30 or 40 pounds heavier than I am now when we filmed that.

Now I'm 56 years old, and I was able to do that because of persistent focused effort.

And what I tell the women who joined my programs, especially in the Meno-Mastery Academy, is that when you want to get started with something, it's really about finding something that's impossible to fail at.

And then just continuing.

Because those little wins stack.

I talk more about that in today’s episode with national board certified clinical health and wellness coach, Emily Marquis.

She's an RYT 200 yoga instructor and mindfulness consultant. With her combined coaching and corporate HR background, Emily also worked with clinics and fellow practitioners to create a village for clients to best support their well-being.

During the podcast, we talk about how Emily became a health coach AND:

• Burnout: What it is and how to avoid it.
• How to get started with self-care
• Identity and the stories we tell ourselves
• Fitting in
• Motivation
• Courage to try something new.
• Change is a process of trial and error
• The American healthcare system

And stay to the end to find out how to let go of perfectionism.

Tune in today and find the courage to change!
