The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health

My top lessons learned in 2020.

Keto, carnivore, fasting and one meal a day (OMAD) have taken the dieting world by a storm for the last few years. In 2017-2018 I was all over the ketogenic, fasting based diets. These diets work and they can provide easy weight loss for many people.

But over the last few years I started seeing negative side effects from these diets. Including weight gain, thyroid problems, adrenal issues, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, loss of menstruation and more!

I had to come up with a way to utilize these diets for their benefits without the negative side effects.

In this episode I break it all down for you.

• why these diets work in the beginning
• what does the research show when it comes to the best diets
• how I use keto, fasting and carnivore in my own practice
• what I started to witness in my own practice and membership groups
• what the negative side effects are and why they happen
• what I discovered that could allow women to get the benefits of these diets with the negative consequences
• the evolutionary purpose of being able to produce and survive off ketones but what long term production signals to our bodies
• what it does to our hormones and metabolism
• what OMAD really is

and much more!

If you could see the inside of my cupboards and the loads of supplements that I own. I spent years chasing down my ailments wondering do I have candida, Lyme, mold, parasites, estrogen dominance, histamine intolerance, SIBO etc. etc. Buying 1000's of dollars worth of supplements, products and programs. When I really should have just tested! Why do we do that? Why do we insist on guessing not testing? Well not anymore lesson learned test don't guess.

In this episode I will share with you all the testing that I did this year and what the results were and how it has changed my entire approach to my own wellness.

Social media has been linked to higher levels of loneliness, envy, anxiety, depression, narcissism and decreased social skills. I realized this year that often times after scrolling through Facebook and Instagram that I felt less then. Without meaning to I was comparing myself to women that I was seeing online. Our expectations of what we should look like is being controlled by what we see online which unfortunately isn't realistic.

There is a small population, very small, of women that have so called "perfect bodies." The majority of the population has stretch marks, cellulite, muffin tops, tummy flaps, skin imperfections, fine lines, wrinkles etc. So this year I implemented some great tools to help keep a body positive attitude.

Lesson 2

We tend to depend on our doctors for things that they are not trained in and it's time we looked elsewhere to get the help we need.

In 2020 I didn't have the best experience with my doctor when it came to my hormone health. I have realized time and time again in my coaching business that I am not the only one who is frustrated with the lack of attention doctors are giving us. But doctors are not trained to get to the root cause and in this episode I am going to break it all down for you. You will know what you can count on them for, how to navigate your visits with them and much more.
