Menopause stealing your light: Summary
In this episode, Evan introduces Kimberly Rose, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner specializing in hormonal health and women’s wellness.
Kimberly discusses the complexities of menopause, perimenopause, and hormonal changes, emphasizing the significance of testing rather than guessing to understand individual health needs. She explains perimenopause as a phase leading up to menopause, characterized by fluctuating hormone levels, and highlights menopause as a period marked by a consistent hormonal state.
Kimberly advocates for lifestyle adjustments, such as strength training, proper nutrition, and supplementation, to support women through these changes. She also touches on the benefits and myths of hormone replacement therapy, urging women to consider it as a viable option for maintaining health and vitality. The discussion also explores the widespread use of birth control and its long-term impacts on women’s health.
Kimberly stresses the importance of functional lab testing to understand underlying health issues before resorting to hormone replacement therapy or other interventions. She advises younger women to prioritize nutrition, stress management, and rest to lay a strong foundation for long-term health. The episode underscores the evolving understanding of women’s health and the importance of personalized, informed approaches to managing hormonal health.
