Two phenomenal days at the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute’s 2025 Thought Leaders conference.

Too many speakers to highlight, including Dr. Jeffrey Bland and Dr. Robert Lustig, discussing how the endocrine, cardiometabolic, and immune systems intersect and communicate to facilitate health or disease.

I was blown away by the speaker lineup and had to see Dr. Lustig in person after emailing him 13 years ago to ask how to most impact the chronic disease epidemic.

Dr. Lustig’s quick response and continual work to bring light to the social determinants of health inspired me to pursue degrees in functional nutrition.

I’m already registered for next year. It was that good.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Did you know that duration of breastfeeding can impact the severity of symptoms in perimenopause and menopause?

Longer lactation suppresses ovulation, which can contribute to a later menopause with reduced hot flashes and night sweats.

While my nursing days are over, I love supporting younger women and educating them about health benefits of breastfeeding - for both mother and baby.

Do you think breastfeeding has positively affected your menopause transition?

Feeling more aches and pains after age 40?

This is NOT a normal part of female aging that you must accept. You CAN improve symptoms naturally.

As estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate and eventually decrease into menopause, gut flora imbalances and other physiological shifts contribute to increased inflammation.

Joint and muscle pain, and even injuries like frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis, can increase with inflammation in perimenopause.

🥦 Whole foods with LOTS of fiber-rich and nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and lean protein GREATLY reduce inflammation and improve symptoms during perimenopause.

😴 Improving sleep quality and duration, circadian rhythm alignment, and stress resilience also help to balance hormones and keep inflammation down.

🏊‍♀️ Prioritizing movement with strength training and stretching can minimize aches after age 40.

🏋️‍♀️ You don’t need to “lift heavy” to experience positive results. Resistance exercise just needs to be consistent and comfortably challenging for you.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga is an excellent option to build strength - while also lowering stress and improving flexibility.

Weight training at the gym has helped me to increase strength after muscle atrophy following frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and connective tissue challenges.

What dietary or lifestyle habit has been a game changer for you?

05/18/2024

There’s a lot of information (and misinformation) online about risks associated with non-use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) compared with dietary and lifestyle approaches.

The topic is complex and should be discussed with your physician. Whether you choose to use BHRT or not, diet and lifestyle can greatly improve symptoms, reduce risk factors for dementia, osteoporosis, and cardiometabolic conditions, and improve long-term health outcomes.

Are you interested in natural approaches during perimenopause and menopause?

It was wonderful to talk about circadian rhythms, ancestral eating, and honoring our unique needs during a live podcast episode of the Bold Leadership Series with Jim Miller.

Do you eat according to circadian rhythms?

Insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night. Your body can metabolize carbohydrates and larger meals more efficiently in the daytime.

Interval eating (also called “time-restricted eating” in research) involves less snacking and more digestive rest overnight.

Interval eating is NOT a fad. It’s a return to more established eating patterns that mirror my own early childhood in the 1970’s.

If you’ve tried to lose weight, increase energy, or balance hormones, have you tried modifying meal timing?
