Menopause Mastery

Why Your Energy Crashes After 40 (It's Not What You Think)


Listen Later

Feeling exhausted and can't figure out why? The answer might be hiding in your gut and mitochondria.

In this eye-opening episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with functional medicine expert Laura Frontiero to uncover the real root causes behind midlife energy crashes. If you're tired of being told "it's just your age" or searching for that one magic solution, this conversation will change everything.

Laura shares her journey from 20+ years in traditional healthcare to becoming a detective for chronic health issues, revealing why your energy problems aren't just about hormones—they're about your gut terrain, mitochondrial function, and toxic load that's been building for decades.

Discover why that trendy carnivore diet might be helping you now but could backfire later, how infections like Candida and H. pylori are actually trying to protect you from heavy metals, and why you absolutely must support your detox pathways BEFORE trying to kill off bad bacteria.

Plus, Dr. Betty and Laura tackle the controversial topic of when to start hormone therapy (spoiler: you don't have to "earn" your hormones!) and why the order of healing matters more than you think.

If you're a woman in midlife struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mysterious symptoms that conventional medicine can't explain, this episode gives you the roadmap to reclaim your energy and health.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Why your gut terrain matters more than which bacteria you have
  • The hidden connection between toxins and chronic infections
  • Mitochondria: your cellular powerhouses and why they're failing
  • The right order for healing (hint: start with pooping!)
  • When and why to start hormone therapy
  • Why detox is a marathon, not a weekend cleanse
