Mastering Menopause

Enjoy this conversation with bestselling author Steven Kotler. Steven is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world’s leading experts on human performance. Steven is the author of eleven bestsellers including The Art of Impossible, The Future is Faster Than You Think, Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman, Bold and Abundance. His work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes, and has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and the Harvard Business Review. He has explored how new technologies, neuroscience and psychology can expand our capabilities both physically and mentally. In this episode, we will dive into his new book Gnar Country which comes out Feb.28th and why Steven believes performance optimization is so important and get an inside look at his research. 

Over the past decade, there have been breakthroughs in a dozen different fields that have started to paint a whole new picture of aging. The research shows that we can sustain peak performance much later in life than anyone thought possible.

In GNAR COUNTRY, Steven shares these findings, and then dares to test them on his own body. 

Kotler challenges many of the most established myths about aging. His evidence-based arguments include: 

Aging is not only a physical process. In fact, studies have found that the right mindset toward aging can add extra seven-and-a-half years to our lives. 

The idea that all of our physical skills and mental abilities decline over time and there is nothing we can do to stop the slide is completely false. Most mental and physical skills turn out to be use-it-or-lose-it skills and if we never stop using them, if we train them properly, we can preserve and even extend what we have until very late in life. 

We are also starting to know a great deal about lifelong health and well-being. Research into exceptionally long-lived “Blue Zone” communities around the world reveal five keys to a long, happy life:

• Move around a lot
• De-stress regularly
• Have robust social ties
• Eat mostly plants and not too much of anything
• Try to live with passion, purpose, and regular access to flow*

Dynamic activities demand all of our physical skills, all of which are use-it-or-lose-it: Strength Stamina Flexibility Agility Balance

Sam Miller is a the best selling author of Metabolism Made Simple and he's also my mentor. I, as well as my coaches and hundreds of other coaches have taken his course The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization.

Sam has more than 15 years of experience working with hundreds of coaches, overseeing thousands of clients in their health and fitness journey. He is a certified nutritionist and licensed, board certified, health practitioner who holds a masters degree from North Carolina State University and a bachelor of science from Elon University. 

His knowledge on nutrition, metabolism and hormones is vast, join us for a conversation about women and menopause, which is a huge topic. 

I ran a poll in my facebook group with about 3k women and the top 3 concerns in menopause is belly fat and weight gain, that was number one, no surprise there, but also hot flashes, night sweats and sleep disruption. In menopause we fail to consider the effect of stress or lack of sleep on our bodies and how that ultimately affects our hormones in the phases of menopause. In this episode you will learn:

-The cascade effect of stress and sleep on hormones and how that effects us in menopause
-Insulin resistance and the effect on weight gain in menopause
-Why and which macronutrients and micronutrients are important in menopause
-Actionable steps you can take to improve sleep and stress

I’m giving away a copy of Sam’s book Metabolism Made Simple https://a.co/d/6UiguvY to the first person to share a screen shot of this podcast on social media that tags both Sam (link below) and myself will receive the book.

In today's episode, we're talking about the differences between weight loss and fat loss. Many of you may not realize that  "weight loss" and "fat loss"  are not  the same thing.

I know it’s hard to focus on health when all you want to do is lose weight in menopause, however, if we can focus on this while losing fat at the same time your results are going to be so much different than the last diet or diets that you have done in the past where you’ve lost the weight and then gained it right back.
