SO... WHAT'S PERIMENOPAUSE? 🤷‍♀️

We've all heard the word Menopause and often think: older women, hot flashes, mood swings, and no longer having a menstrual cycle. But what many women (and especially men) don't realize is that in order to get to Menopause, we must first get through Perimenopause. I wrote a new blog post on all of this that you can check out at https://www.foreverlivingdeliciously.com/post/so-what-s-perimenopause

The most important take aways are:

❤️Perimenopause can start at any point after the age of 35

🧡It takes up to 15 years (yes you read that right, YEARS) to get through Perimenopause, hit menopause, and thus become post menopausal. You can see the stages of Perimenopause in the above graphic. It takes time- years - for all those hormones to get from Stage 1 to Menopause.

💛Perimenopause and it's symptoms are a culmination of highly fluctuating estrogen and continually lowering progesterone - NOT low estrogen, like is often suggested

💚If you have ovaries you WILL go through perimenopause (ahem... this one is for my ladies who have had hysterectomies)

SUPPLEMENTS 💊🥦🍓🍍🥑
For anyone who knows me or has worked with me they know how I feel about supplements. Generally speaking I avoid recommending supplements to clients and instead hand out lists of great food options to help them reach their daily needs. BUT that doesn't mean that supplements don't have a place in a person's diet. And I have plenty of clients who do need to use a supplement.

So on those occasions that I do need to make a recommendation
Is one of my go to brands. I trust their quality and know that they are safe for everyone from my athletes to my pregnant mamas.

So what are my top 3 supplements I recommend?

1️⃣Generally speaking I recommend vitamin D to almost every person I work with, it's rare for people to have normal vitamin d numbers, even my outdoor athletes have a hard time.

2️⃣B12-Folate is another common one but I rarely recommend it without seeing blood tests first that show a need.

3️⃣Zinc is a very common one for people to be deficient in and it is essential to maintaining a healthy immune system

If you are wanting to order any of these head to link in bio to get some from my dispensary
OR
If you are wanting to know more about what supplements you may need please reach out!

DO YOU TAKE COLLAGEN?

Not gonna lie, I'm a little late to the party when it comes to taking collagen. For so long it's been promoted as something for your hair, skin, and nails that I honestly never did much research on it. And my hair and nails grow too dang fast so it wasn't really on my radar. That's until I started working with more women and specifically helping women with pelvic floor issues. I have so many women ask me ways that they can help their pelvic floors from a nutritional standpoint and in my research I found collagen. And then in that process I found research on how it can help people with joint issues, with connective tissue issues, pain caused by autoimmune disorders, seriously the list is long.

So the moral of the story is, if you put strain on your body in any way, make it female, it doesn't hurt to add collagen to your diet.

I have a few go to brands:
momentous


What is your favorite collagen?

"Research shows the keto diet has an unfavorable effect on muscle fatigue on women and also shows markers of bone remodeling are impaired after a short-term low-carb, high-fat diet (in both men and women!). Most importantly, is the reduction in the diversity of the gut microbiome, which directly affects circulating estrogens, immune cell responses for bone turnover, and body composition. "

J​ust say NO to Keto

​A big diet trend that many menopausal women are tempted by is the ketogenic diet. The ""keto"" diet is extremely low-carb, limiting intake to fewer than 50 grams of carbs a day, or the amount of one small apple and a cup of oatmeal. Instead, you get the bulk of your calories from a lot of fat (more than 60 percent of your intake) and moderate amounts of protein.

As is so often the case, the original research on the ketogenic diet was done on men, specifically, metabolically unhealthy men who had obesity and/or had diabetes. The research was designed to see if they could get their blood sugar under control and lose weight quickly. It worked in that population.

What the research doesn't show is how ketogenesis affects women who are training and exercising. Research shows the keto diet has an unfavorable effect on muscle fatigue on women and also shows markers of bone remodeling are impaired after a short-term low-carb, high-fat diet (in both men and women!). Most importantly, is the reduction in the diversity of the gut microbiome, which directly affects circulating estrogens, immune cell responses for bone turnover, and body composition. None of these are good for women, especially menopausal women!
