My Guest:

Emily Sadri is a Board Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse Midwife, and the founder of Aurelia Health, a modern telemedicine practice for women over 35. Aurelia Health provides comprehensive hormone replacement therapy and weight loss support with long visits and un-rushed care.

Emily is passionate about making complex hormonal topics accessible and believes that great health starts with happy hormones and a balanced stress response.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

• Why do you think there still so much confusion about hormone replacement therapy and if it's "good" or "bad"[00:18:56]
• You suggest there are downsides to hormone testing… and I’m curious about why you’d say so? [00:22:50]
• I’m also shocked to find some believe testing is unnecessary with estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy, that seems like a big fat game of trial and error and any woman on HRT knows that getting your cocktail right already is a course-correcting journey as it is - say more about these people who are shooting darts in the dark.. Who does that? [00:24:29]

Few women were optimizing hormones early in perimenopause a decade ago. But the health outlook for those that do stands to be significantly better than for those women who experience drops then boost it again.

Are you doing HRT in perimenopause? Or Did you?

In this episode, it’s all about how I choose podcast guests.

First before we get started, I appreciate your thoughts. I work hard on keeping an open mind and listening to suggestions. Though I can’t take action on all of them, we are here because of you. There’s this dance between the expert, experienced, the educated individual in me giving advice even creating programs in a way that may go in opposition of what you want.

That is because I’m applying 40 years of science studies, combining the physiology of fitness with physiology of menopause, and with the science of human behavior and change. We’ve created things that will make some of you contest the way we deliver them.

I wanted to share how we come to accept or reject for now guests who apply for the show or who are pitched by PR firms. How we reach out to find professionals who can not only share science but share stories, theirs and clients or patients they’ve worked with.

Someone recently was upset hearing a guest used Ivermectin to overcome C-19.

Others have suggested that Ozempic or semaglutide, drugs were black and white.

Another listener and social media follower said though she’d followed for years, she thought I’d lost it (meaning marbles) when I hosted someone discussing energy frequencies.

I have experts who want to come on and talk about Keto and intermittent fasting. I have professional opinions about both based on my 40 years of experience working with midlife women and our community of more than 300K women.

But I won’t just turn them away. I’ll ask if they’re open to a conversation about when and how and why it might not be appropriate for everyone all the time. If they’re willing to agree to disagree and to help a listener hear both sides of the story and decide for themselves what and when and why, I still may bring them on.

I also reserve the right to not publish recordings that are poor sound quality, or a discussion that was terribly awkward when a guest didn’t answer questions I asked but followed some hidden agenda.

How I Choose Podcast Guests and Topics for You

In response to the Ivermectin question:

Actually, many of the function physicians I work with use this personally if they've caught it soon enough.

I don't know that we have to agree with 100% of what any expert or human does or says. But I do think personally we have to keep listening and taking in another set of thoughts.

Otherwise, we'd still be believing that the retracted study data suggesting that HRT, specifically bHRT was a threat vs a life-preserving option for women.

All said with respect. I wish I had the luxury of not listening to someone because I didn't agree with every thought: it would relieve a lot tension! But I've had to be willing to adjust my thinking and see science interpreted from all sides.

Certainly, hope this isn't irritating and lands as intended for you as the means of my own filter for women.

I've hosted Intermittent Fasting experts knowing fed exercise is more optimal for women in midlife and beyond for 8 years.. and guess what... they've come around, and two big proponents are now agreeing with the science suggesting that we have to choose priorities and timing of everything.

That wouldn't have happened without someone challenging their thoughts and listening to the conversation.

I must host those I agree with, those I don't, and be transparent about that.

Not long ago, hormone replacement therapy was very misunderstood. Recently, someone I know well consulted with her physician and was told, going on would be more risky than not because it’s been too long since menopause.

Other doctors are adamant that this is not the case. I’ll continue to bring them on. You DO have choices. One physician only has the experience they have and the degree to which they’re comfortable making changes in thoughts, information and actions …. Is the medical care you’ll receive from them.

I’d love to hear your response to this episode.

One Thing I Would Change After 40 Years Working with Women in Menopause:

https://www.flippingfifty.com/working-with-women-in-menopause/

In this episode you’ll hear me respond to one of our Flipping 50 members asking a question about being sore in menopause, for no reason. If you’re sore, stiff, or even have a little niggle or “catch,” this is for you.

If you’ve passed this kind of thing off for arthritis or getting old, stick around. If not you, a girlfriend or sister needs to hear this.

Paulette asked:

“I'm looking for suggestions about what helps with muscle stiffness and soreness unrelated to injury.

I have noticed in my transition to menopause that I have much more muscle stiffness and less flexibility,  despite being quite active and doing yoga several times a week. It's mostly my legs and hips...and low back...well, probably every muscle...lol.

I wake up stiff and it generally improves within a few minutes of movement, but I notice it throughout the day when I bend down, or try to get down on the floor or up from there.

I'm sure this is a common complaint among 50 plus women...what helps with this?”

Some women experience this and it can be due to a lot of things… The changes in estrogen during menopause can lead to various symptoms. Specifically, estrogen deficiency can cause a snowball of symptoms.

Some of the habits we thought were good, are actually not, or not going to match the status of our hormones and their influence on muscles, bones, connective tissues, gut health, sleep, sex and every cell in our body.

Over time, women are finally getting more savvy. As we find more women less willing to accept weight gain, belly fat, frequent injuries, stiffness, or in this podcast, soreness as normal processes of aging… and instead as clues we need a pivot from prior habits or beliefs, we’ll all start making aging better instead of dreaded!

Reduce or eliminate:

• Dairy
• Gluten / Wheat
• Eggs
• Soy
• Peanuts
• Corn
• Nuts (including almonds and almond flour or almond milk)

Oxalate consumption can also be a problem. The body makes oxalate acid that can contribute to muscle pain or soreness as well as gut issues. (Listen to the podcast for a food high in oxalate and the flips)

If you have any other leaky gut signs (gas bloating, constipation, diarrhea). But.. you don’t have to have these gut signs, by the way, to have a problem with the gut or these oxalates. They’re sneaky little things.

Here are some suggestions for increasing your anti-inflammatory response.

Add or increase:

• Salmon
• Omega 3 supplements
• Magnesium
• Vitamin D
• Antioxidant rich brightly colored veggies
• Matcha tea (a clean, tested for mold and heavy metals ceremonial grade is super high in antioxidants having one of the highest ORAC values)

Habits:

• Epsom salt baths
• Longer warm up and cool down
• Infrared Sauna
• Pay a little more attention to your mobility work

As a side note:

Genetics play a part in whether you tend to get sore or not. There are two specific genes identified with this. Certainly with conditioning, you’ll experience less soreness. But a unique workout, involving small muscles you don’t use often will cause more muscle soreness than something that focuses on glutes or quadriceps that are used to a lot of activity.

Whether you or your daughter, or someone you know, the perimenopause brain can be a “thing.

If you’ve been tuning in to Flipping 50 long enough, you’re familiar with symptoms of menopause. In this episode, I explore the connections of symptoms to brain health. With my guest, we’ll share how bHRT or Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy could benefit not just your brain, but also your cardiometabolic health.

Tune in to discover what we can do to improve your perimenopause brain power and cardiometabolic health.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

• You’re in a unique niche I think we’ll see more and more of - the blending of perimenopause and postpartum or young children which is a whole other animal than comparing women who are otherwise asymptomatic until mid or late 50s… and wow! I can’t imagine.. Having been a mom to an infant or toddler I can’t imagine what women who have severe or stacked symptoms during perimenopause and young children too, might face. [00:03:59]
• What has been your perimenopause journey and how has your journey inspired you to support women in midlife? [00:07:56]
• What are some of the biggest symptoms that you find show up for women in midlife you’re serving and how are so many of them related to their brain? [00:10:13]
• How can BHRT be beneficial for brain and cardiometabolic health? [00:15:16]
• What are other habits you like to recommend a woman use to improve her resilience, strength and cardiometabolic health? [00:27:37]
• First, let’s define cardiometabolic health and how that plays out for women more used to hearing and using metabolism. Metabolic flexibility, cardio as so many women know is related to heart, but a vocabulary lesson is in order here. Let’s just assume it's the first day of midlife women’s health class and we want to define all of these terms so we don’t do any assuming. [00:18:32]
• What are the most powerful levers for boosting our perimenopause brain energy and capacity? [0030:32]

You’re just a workout, even a warm up set, away from strength training benefits in menopause. In this episode you will learn or get a refresher on just how soon you can expect to get those immediate results we all crave.

Unlike Amazon you can’t get them dropped on your doorstep in a few hours, but you will be pleasantly surprised (or reminded) by the fact that some changes happen in seconds.

Within Minutes these are Happening:

Increased Heart Rate - which means increased blood flow to brain and because of that a decreased level of pain and increased sense of alertness and creativity and problem solving

Release of Anabolic Hormones - testosterone and growth hormone

blood sugar reduction - it's used for the fuel for the exercise, even 10-15 air squats works so of course, if you're lifting with a load or tempo that causes more muscle stress

Release of Neurotransmitters - this occurs more with intense exercise and may take a few minutes but by the end of your workout, dopamine, and

Improved Neuroplasticity - if you're trying to learn a new language or absorb new information you might want to push play while you're working out.

How to amplify these while you workout?

Want more "feel good" hormones ? Play music you love, workout with a friend (and yes, even an exercise video if you feel like the instructor "gets you" and is more than a drill sergeant could do this)

Want to take advantage of learning or inspire a little creativity?

If you're already working on a project, absorb a little content about it before the workout and don't necessarily dwell on it while you workout. Your brain may actually answer questions you ask while you're taking a break from it. But also, listen to that Spanish lesson or informative podcasts while you exercise.

Reduce Hot Flashes - in the  24 hours after a moderate or higher intensity workout. The same is not true of low or leisurely activity. A 2012 study in the medical journal Menopause.

Continued Neural Connection - studies show a large part of initial gains - up to 8-12 weeks of training - are still due to that stronger neural connection. During this time, heavier may not be better, especially for women in midlife with history of injury or tendency toward injury.

Blood Sugar Control Improves - reducing insulin resistance issues that negatively impact visceral belly fat, so you will be on the path to reducing total fat as well as directly impacting visceral fat

Strength Increases - due primarily to the neural connection as your brain learns or also strengthens the signaling between brain and muscle while you're learning a new movement pattern or waking up an old one. This isn't yet due to size (or hypertrophy) so the first few weeks you may not see noticeable change but you will already be picking up a heavier weight.

Fiber Size Increases - after those first weeks and as that neural connection continues, muscle fiber size increases, and you'll likely see more tone as evidence.

Changes in Fiber Type - less noted but the anaerobic exercise improves your type two or fast twitch fibers. So important for aging because these are lost without intentional stimulation. These changes will continue and enable more powerful speed and agility work that further enhances your aging process.

Tendons And Ligaments Improve - a big bonus for midlife women who have lost estrogen and are thus more prone to injury. You'll be improving resilience in those for every day activities as well as preparing to do heavier work that will be a greater stimulus for bone and metabolism boosts.

Reversed Aging Effects of 179 Genes Associated with Aging - hello game-changer. If you start October 1 by April 1 (no kidding) you'll be younger.

Increased Bone Density - with the right progressive protocol (we don't jump in at the end and we can't stay at the beginning if you're able to do more) significant changes take 9 months to a year for the bone remodeling process. But if you're having an annual DEXA (and I highly recommend you do), you'll have noticeable change with strength training as you also fix any gut issues.

Reduced Risk of Both Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis in Late Life - muscle and bone loss historically have been issues related to metabolic disease and structural issues related to falls, fractures, bedrest, weakness and injury directly related to falls or consequent falls. Resistance training is proven to decrease this risk. But ? Pilates and yoga may be on the continuum... they are on the left... not the right.

Psst. Sarcopenia and osteoporosis BOTH begin in your 30s. Muscle peaks at 25, bone at about 30. Losses of each begin around 30 and 35, respectively. Think about what you were doing. Were you consuming adequate protein? Doing high impact and high intensity resistance training? Were you prioritizing sleep? Or were you on weight loss diets one after the other, skipping meals or skimping on calories, or making poor choices? You may have been doing the best you knew then, or may have been ignoring best in search of short cuts to skinnier obsessions so many women have. You can support a young woman from making the same mistake. Her bones could be better thanks to you.

Just to be clear, this podcast is less about managing menopause in the physical sense of the term and more about what you might be telling yourself about it. If you are stuck in the messy middle, or you’re itching for a change, and perhaps just don’t know what that is, this is for you.

If you think life right now is hard or you are overwhelmed, I think this episode will be one you’ll find rather awesome in the real sense of the word.

We’ll dive into the mindset shifts and emotional resilience to navigate this phase, helping you embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.

Chances are if you tuned into this based on the title you’re not exactly where you want to be right now. Fat loss after 40 could be a challenge in spite of your best effort. Gaining lean muscle could feel like it’s slipping through your fingers.

To those regular listeners who are here no matter what, I thank you too, even if you’re not necessarily dealing with failed results, maybe you’re loving life right now! Someone you know may be and you can help them understand it is my hope from this episode.

Spoiler alert, I’m going to tell you the two most common endocrine-related reasons right up front. And, there’s more to the story. Because just knowing isn’t enough. One, most of us when we do know what to do have to overcome habit gravity and decades of dogma about the messages you’ve been given.

But for you listener, it’s possible that you have limiting beliefs acquired simply by living and being subject to the environment you were.

You may be listening and have always worked hard and believe hard and more is the answer.

Or… You may be under the impression, “girls don’t run” or lift, or fear injury from exercise.

Ironic, that we can have grown up in the same era but have such diverse beliefs but I’ve found working with women over 40 for 4 decades, there is definitely a wide continuum of belief about exercise success.

That… if you’re willing or open… can change. We all harbor some limiting beliefs. Once we recognize them we can still hold onto them.

1. Too little anabolic hormone influence

2. Too much catabolic hormone influence

   (by exercise, nutrition and lifestyle habits)

Questions We Answer in this Episode:

• What are the biggest obstacles to fat loss after 40? [00:14:30]
• Why do we hear this and struggle to implement it? [00:17:20]
• How do you know which you might be doing? [00:25:40]
• How do you deal with prior injury and fear of reinjury? [00:29:40]
• What makes you more prone to struggle with fat loss after 40? [00:21:20]

These alone are not the problem...

Anabolic hormones include:

• Estrogen
• Testosterone
• Growth Hormone
• Insulin (to a small extent)

Catabolic hormones include:

• Cortisol
• Insulin

Let’s look at the physiology of menopause.

• Hormonal Shifts: Estrogen, testosterone, and growth hormone decrease related to your age and lifestyle habits than menopause alone. Collectively though those three hormones can make or break your progress.
• Insulin’s Role: While insulin helps regulate blood sugar, too much can lead to fat storage, especially if muscles and the liver can’t absorb it efficiently.
• Liver Health: A liver overloaded with toxins or processed foods may struggle to support metabolism and hormone function.
• Muscle: If you have little muscle and don’t move regularly, your body has limited capacity to store glycogen (which insulin uses to lower blood sugar) and is instead stored as fat.
• Cortisol and Stress: This stress hormone can break down muscle and increase fat storage. Prolonged exercise elevates cortisol, while short, intense workouts raise it temporarily but allow it to drop post-workout.
• Exercise Balance: Overdoing endurance activities might increase fat storage. Finding balance in your workouts is key.
• Strength Training: Essential for maintaining muscle mass and bone density, strength training should complement other activities like Pilates or yoga.

Training for adventure retreats, aka, bucket list experiences is so much more motivating and fun than routing strength training for bone density or lose belly fat. Some might focus on fitness goals, while others are drawn to living life to the fullest through challenging adventures. So who are you?

You don’t have to pick a side to decide if this episode is for you or not. Many, if not all, will experience heat in summer, some humidity, some altitude. This may happen during climate change where you live or when you travel..

In this episode, I will give you what it takes to prepare for adventure retreats, highlighting the importance of training for demanding experiences.

Key to success is trusting a coach with experience in similar adventures and coaching. Understanding the key elements of training and how to start. I’ll share with you some insider points for preparing retreat attendees for altitude in June in Colorado and in September at the Grand Canyon.

They bring unique challenges. Similar to the 8 Iron distance triathlons I’ve done, going from flatland to altitude or to sea level with heat and humidity from a cold dry climate. It’s all about understanding the stress you’ll be under, how to prepare for it muscularly, biomechanically, and biologically.

Questions We Answer in this Episode:

• How to train for altitude at flat [00:13:30]
• How to train for heat or humidity in cool or dry climates [00:13:50]
• How to fuel for high intensity [00:23:30]
• What is high intensity [00:28:30]
