Are you one of the women experiencing sudden acne in your 40s? Like, WTAF??? In this week's episode of the Ageless and Awesome Podcast I discuss why this happens (it's not just your hormones!) and offer practical solutions to manage it. I’ll unpack the hormonal shifts during perimenopause, the link to stress-induced oil production, and the changes ageing brings to our skin that can clog pores. You’ll leave armed with my top tips to keep those pesky breakouts at bay.

We'll also look at the Gut-Skin connection (yep, it's a thing!), specifically focusing on the often-overlooked issue of slow gut motility and its link to skin inflammation. We'll address the various triggers such as medical conditions, certain medications, and stressors. Have a notepad ready as we discuss possible options to enhance your Gut-Skin Connection especially as you move through perimenopause.

This week's question really hit home for me as I suffer from migraines and I've noticed an increase in the past 12 months (I mean, I've had 2 so not a lot, but this was after many years of not having them at all).

Thanks so much Angela from Brisbane for this question. Join me as I share some of my own experience with this and discuss why migraine can be associated with perimenopause and how you can manage this.

In this enlightening episode of the Ageless and Awesome podcast, I uncover the realities of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that can be diagnosed in perimenopause and can be a cause of weight gain. Join me as I explain how PCOS affects women's menstrual cycles and some of the tell-tale signs, such as acne, dark facial hair, belly fat, and insulin resistance. I'll also discuss how PCOS is diagnosed, shedding light on the different tests involved, and the importance of speaking to your healthcare practitioner if you feel something isn't quite right.

I address the significance of managing insulin resistance in the context of PCOS. Together, we explore practical strategies such as reducing sugar intake, which exercise is best and the role of environmental toxins. I'll show you some simple tests you can do at home to check your risk of insulin resistance, and provide insights on how to break the sugar habit, bringing your health back on track.

This episode is packed with actionable tips so tune in for this comprehensive discussion on managing PCOS and becoming ageless and awesome!

Ever thought about (or even tried) a fasting diet for weight loss since you turned 40 or 50? How did you find it? Did you see the results you were looking for? Get ready for a deep dive into fasting diets, and more specifically, how they impact women over 40.

Today, we embark on a fascinating journey into various fasting approaches, from the 5:2 diet, 16/8 or 14/10 intermittent fasting, to severe calorie restriction five days a month. We'll examine the research into the efficacy of these diets, laying bare the good, the bad, and the ugly. Spoiler alert, while the 5:2 diet reigns supreme for the fasting diets for weight loss, it merely offers up to 5% reduction in body weight, and that too hits a plateau after six months.

Shifting gears, we'll dissect the influence of fasting on hormone levels, and why it may not be the silver bullet you're searching for in the realms of weight loss or hormone balancing.

Be prepared for some hard truths as we highlight who should steer clear of fasting regimes - think individuals with blood sugar issues, Crohn's disease, or a history of disordered eating.

But, it's not all gloom and doom.

There's light at the end of the tunnel with the 12/12 window of eating, a possible alternative to radical fasting and the power of personalised nutrition. I'll outline how this approach can help balance hormones, optimise sleep, and manage stress. So, buckle up and prepare to be empowered with invaluable knowledge to navigate your health and weight loss journey confidently.

Some of you may recall a couple of months ago I answered a question from Becky in Texas about melatonin safety long term. Well, a new study has come out that adds to the body of evidence for this and I wanted to keep you updated about this as I know many of you use this for sleep support.

Turns out, there may be negative effects on your gut if you have inflammatory bowel disease so it's important to be across this new data.

If you'd like to listen to the original episode from back in May first, then go to your search function in this podcast and pop in melatonin and it will come up.

Could it be that the very strategies you're using to lose weight in perimenopause are actually the ones keeping you from achieving your weight loss goals? 🤯

That's what I'm exploring in today's episode of The Ageless and Awesome podcast. I'm here to debunk some weight loss myths specifically for women over 40. I'll expose the top five mistakes you might be making, like obsessing over calories rather that the type of foods you're consuming, and why stress management is a vital part of the weight loss journey as it directly impacts your cortisol levels and therefore your glucose metabolism.

I also tackle the controversial topic of meal timing. Despite varied opinions, three balanced meals a day may actually be more beneficial for women over 40 than multiple smaller meals. Unravel the science behind this approach, and discover how it can enhance insulin sensitivity, lower insulin levels between meals, and improve fat burning. Beyond the physical, we'll explore the psychological advantages too - imagine a life where food isn't constantly on your mind and disordered eating patterns are a thing of the past. Tune in for an empowering conversation that has the potential to revolutionise your weight loss strategy.
