Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

Today I welcome Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, for an insightful conversation demystifying weight management and appetite modulation, particularly in the context of perimenopause and menopause. Discover the physiological changes women experience at midlife, the often-frustrating weight gain, and the truth behind cravings and willpower.

Key Discussion Points:

• The Menopause Weight Struggle is Real: Many women experience frustrating weight gain during perimenopause, with the SWAN study indicating an average gain of 22 pounds. Often, the advice given is simply to eat less, which overlooks significant physiological shifts.
• Physiological Changes at Midlife: Understand the impact of dropping estrogen levels, decreasing metabolism, changes in fat distribution (visceral fat), and increased insulin resistance during perimenopause.
• The Myth of Willpower: Learn why hunger and eating are primal, biologically controlled instincts originating in the hypothalamus. Stress, hormones, lack of sleep, and alcohol can easily override frontal lobe willpower.
• The Importance of Protein and Muscle Mass: Maintaining muscle mass is crucial during menopause to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. Ensure adequate protein intake (around 120 grams for post-menopausal/perimenopausal women is suggested) and engage in resistance exercise. This is especially important when using one of the weight-loss injectables.
• Sarah Kennedy's Story: Sarah shares her personal journey of yo-yo dieting and how Calocurb (a GLP-1 activator) has positively changed her relationship with food. Her background in R&D for a major dairy company also highlights her passion for protein and muscle health.
• Hope for Post-Menopause: Sarah offers an encouraging perspective, sharing that she is the same size now as she was at 25 and feels at peace. Many women find that life gets better on the other side of menopause.

This episode provides a comprehensive look at the physiological factors influencing weight during menopause and explores a natural, scientifically-backed approach to appetite modulation with a GLP-1 activator like Calocurb. It emphasises that hunger is not simply a matter of willpower and offers hope and practical strategies for managing weight and cravings at midlife and beyond.

Why is it that we so often find ourselves achey, sore, stiff all of the sudden in our forties? This seems to get worse as we move through menopause - we lose muscle, bone density and flexibility. It makes us think of our loved ones - the elder females who might have broken a hip, lack strength and thus, their independance.

Not on my watch, I say! Listen in as I explain the Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause (the MSM). The MSM looks like this:

🟣Osteoporosis

🟣Muscle loss / Sarcopenia

🟣Satellite cell loss (muscle stem cells)

🟣Inflammation

🟣Arthritis

These are the hallmarks of the MSM and it affects 71% of us yet little has been known about this until recently. 40% who have testing will show as "normal". For 25%, it will be disabiling.

I will share all the things you need to do now in order to avoid this potentially debilitating frailty.This episode is not to be missed if you want to be a strong, independant woman well into your senior years! 💪

This episode features Dr. Lovely interviewing Dr. Julie Siemers, a patient safety consultant, educator and nurse. In this discussion, we talk about how individuals can advocate for themselves in hospital settings to avoid medical errors, which are a leading cause of death in the US.

Dr. Siemers, a registered nurse with extensive experience and the author of the book on hospital safety and advocacy, provides crucial insights and tools for patients and their loved ones. This discussion aims to empower listeners with the knowledge to navigate hospital stays more safely by understanding what questions to ask and what to look out for.

This episode addresses a universally important topic of patient safety. Many of this community find themselves facing hospital stays or caring for an aging parent or beloved elder while navigating the menopause experience. Dr. Siemers' expertise, gained from decades in nursing and patient safety, offers valuable guidance for anyone facing a hospital visit or anyone caring for someone with a chronic health issue.

This week we had a fantastic chat with Tamsen Fadal, the award-winning journalist behind The M Factor documentary. Tamsen is an Author, Advocate and Co-Producer of The M Factor documentary. We talked about the process to getting the film made and the surprising initial reactions, as well as the amazing community response it's had, with women everywhere wanting to connect and share their experiences. Tamson has also written a new book called How to Menopause, which comes out today! She wanted to create a comprehensive guide, with guest experts covering all aspects of menopause beyond just the medical stuff, including things like lifestyle, work, and relationships. She recently hosted a free virtual event called the "World's Hottest Menopause Party" where women around the world joined in the fun. This was a fun and inspiring conversation, so please check out The M Factor documentary available on PBS and order your copy of How to Menopause right here.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

Today I welcome functional nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to the show. It was delightful to meet her face to face as she was one of my fav early podcasters! We discussed many contemporary concerns with healthcare and our solutions. We talked about anemia in women as a frequently overlooked concern, with dehydration being a significant interconnected factor (did you know? I didn't!) Personalised medicine, based on the mantra "everything is connected, we are all unique, and all things matter" vs. protocol-driven approaches was explored in this chat. We discussed the importance of understanding bioindividuality through the epigenome and individual life history. The conversation reframed longevity as living well and with purpose, advocating for engagement with individual needs. It seems that as we no longer need to discuss the symptoms of menopause, we move on to wanting to live our lives better, happier and healthier. Longevity is that flex!

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

Today, we talk about upgrading women's health and how we can offer women better options earlier and how you can advocate for the best care for yourself when you visit with your doctor.

Specifically, we talk about progesterone and how it can help with a multitude of early symptoms of perimenopause. Dr. Lovely envisions a better world where women are offered progesterone by their doctor as a matter of course, rather than years of symptoms that go unaided.

Please listen, learn and share.

Today, we welcome Dr Sarah Vadeboncoeur, naturopathic doctor and host of the Fatigue Fixer Podcast. We dive into a conversation on why women, even when getting enough sleep, are constantly tired. Dr. Vadeboncoeur shares some simple ways to boost your energy, including recognising that a lot of our exhaustion comes from our overwhelming mental load – all those tabs open in our mind. Can anyone else relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️ The conversation gets real as we explore topics like menopausal anger, where it comes from, and how to deal with it. We also discuss a major and very common issue for women: iron deficiency anaemia. Dr. Vadeboncoeur points out that many women aren't getting the support they need from their doctors on this, and she shares some great info, including details about a course she offers to help. Find her Iron Deficiency Anemia course here. Ultimately, Dr. Vadeboncoeur wants women to feel empowered to fix their fatigue, embrace their changing bodies, and navigate perimenopause with confidence. She encourages women to speak up and goes on to provide lots of helpful resources on her website and Instagram. If you're tired of being tired, this episode is a must-listen!

Uterine fibroids are a very common concern for women who are still menstruating. They are the cause of extreme and chronic pain, heavy bleeding and there aren't great treatment options available. Today I welcome Dr Suzanne LeBlang to the show to discuss a novel therapy for treatment of fibroids - focused ultrasound.

I had never heard about this treatment until Dr. LeBlang shared her knowledge. This conversation highlights how the non-invasive technique can treat uterine fibroids using thermal ablation, without the need for incisions or injections. This is also available for many other health concerns such as thyroid nodules, Parkinson's disease, breast tumours, tremors and others. It has been FDA approved since 2004.

Overall, this episode underscores the importance of non-invasive treatment options for women's health concerns, with focused ultrasound emerging as a promising alternative for various conditions.

Dr. LeBlang is the Director of Clinical Relationships at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUS) and was trained as a neuroradiologist. You can find out more about this treatment option at fusfoundation.org or on Instagram here.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

Have you felt like your digestion has changed with your perimenopausal march forward? Do you experience bloating, heartburn, reflux, diarrhea, constipation or IBS? Do you wonder if your food is actually being absorbed and used well? What's the point of consuming all this protein we are being asked to eat if we aren't absorbing it! Listen in as Certified Sports Nutritionist, Wade Lightheart educates us on the digestive changes we can experience at midlife.

Wade's story is inspiring - he ran his first marathon at 50 years old after spending decades in the bodybuilding competion industry. He realized that in order to get the performance he desired, he required a different level of digestion of his food/fuel. He is an expert on enzymes, gut health and nutrition optimization. He is on a mission to help people gain and keep health, long term!

Wade realized from his own nutrition practice that women wouldn't always bounce back in their performance after pregnancy and he went about finding out out why. He shares this discovery and how he helped women manage this in our chat. Did you know that you require good gut health to have good hormonal health? We talk about why in this episode. Enzymes, probiotics, protein optimization and much more.

Wade has a clear and contagious zest for life and he is freely sharing his protocols for a great life with us! You can find out more about Wade Lightheart and his work here and on Instagram here.
