Insulin insensitivity is going to affect many perimenopausal women. Many think of insulin as a bad thing, but it's a very important messenger in our bodies. It helps us use and store energy, keep our blood vessels healthy, and more. But for insulin to do its work properly, it needs to be in balance and not constantly stimulated. It's not just too many cookies that can raise your insulin levels; stress, air quality, environmental toxins, poor sleep, and, of course, the hormonal shifts of perimenopause can, too. I had no idea about insulin and its importance during this phase of my life. Tune in to learn more.

Eye inflammation has been a trusted partner during ovulation in the most recent cycles. Taking estrogen continuously and staying in a light ketogenic state helped prevent that inflammation for the first time. However, after adding carbs and skipping the gel at the start of a new cycle, the inflammation returned right away. Tune in to follow me on my quest to find what helps prevent inflammation during perimenopause. Please also share the remedies that work for you.

Menopause got pictured in a recent K-Drama! So happy to see this female transition take center stage. To my surprise, menopause was shown as red cheeks, which can be treated by a dermatologist in two sessions. While researching what that condition might be, I found that some women develop rosacea. Let's follow the lead of "Iron Family" and speak about perimenopause and menopause. Together, we can normalize these conversations and discover effective remedies to support us all.

In the midst of perimenopause, I've levelled up my lifestyle: Exercise, saunas, cold plunges, more daylight exposure, better sleep, and keeping stress at bay have become staples. Additionally, hormone therapy has helped all those measures to really kick in. While many symptoms improved, inflammation kept recurring severely. As insulin insensitivity is common during perimenopause, I decided to monitor my Glucose-Ketone-Index to explore new ways to combat inflammation.

For a tree to stay healthy and heal properly, you need to cut a damaged branch (when needed) very close to the trunk. If you leave a big stump, water and ice can enter, and the tree may slowly rot from the inside out. This made me think about how women are treated and supported during perimenopause and menopause. We’re often told: reduce your stress, eat more protein, try this antidepressant, and so on. But very few people look deeper and search for the real, underlying cause of our symptoms. While many doctors likely mean well, it can still happen that—using the tree metaphor—they try to be kind and helpful, but end up cutting the “branch” too far away from the “trunk,” never reaching the core issue. As a result, your system doesn’t truly get the chance to heal from the inside out.

Ancient cultures knew: The soul lives in the bones. Could the "I'm just a shadow of myself" feeling many perimenopausal women experience be linked to bone loss? Our ovaries and bones are central to metabolic health. As the ovaries slow production during perimenopause, the spotlight shifts to the bones. Paired with strong muscles, they can help us age more healthily. Tune in to learn what you can do to support strong bones and why yoga or walking alone is not enough.

Excel literally saved me and empowered me to communicate more effectively with healthcare professionals, leading to the support I was seeking.

During perimenopause, I experienced widespread inflammation—my eyes often became inflamed, my joints were on fire, and my brain felt like mashed potatoes. While exercise, sauna sessions, better sleep, and hormone therapy alleviated some of these symptoms, the inflammation kept returning. This led me to explore nutrition, glucose, and insulin, revealing that I, like many women in menopause, am insulin-insensitive. Join me in this exploration to discover how a modified diet can help combat inflammation and why it matters for long-term health.
