    enNovember 15, 2019

    Podcast Summary

    • Improve health during colder months with telehealth, gifts, and cold water dipsTelehealth services offer weight loss meds, Blue Nile gifts show love, cold water dips invigorate and boost metabolism

      There are various ways to improve your health and well-being, even during the colder months. For those struggling with weight loss, PlushCare offers telehealth services with doctors who can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications. This Mother's Day, consider gifting a beautiful piece from Blue Nile as a token of love and appreciation. As for physical activities, taking a dip in cold water, such as a pool or the sea, can have numerous benefits. While it may seem daunting, starting in late summer or early fall when temperatures are still relatively warm can help make the transition easier. Many people find the experience invigorating and worth the initial shock. Additionally, there are numerous podcasts, metabolism-boosting moves, and supplements that can contribute to overall health and wellness.

    • Experience the benefits of cold water therapyCold water therapy can boost endorphins, ease menopausal symptoms and chronic migraines, and provide a sense of achievement. Accessible options include cold showers and cryotherapy sessions.

      Cold water therapy, whether through swimming in cold bodies of water or using cryotherapy chambers, can provide numerous benefits such as an endorphin rush, potential relief from menopausal symptoms and chronic migraines, and a sense of solidarity and achievement. It doesn't have to involve braving the elements in their rawest form, as there are accessible options like cold showers or cryotherapy sessions. The practice has gained popularity due to its potential health benefits and the sense of camaraderie among those who partake in it. Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, is a leading figure in the field and offers resources for those interested in exploring cold water therapy further.

    • Cryotherapy vs Cold Water Swimming: Unique BenefitsCryotherapy energizes and pumps up, cold water swimming brings calm and stillness. Tech leaders use cryotherapy, Mint Mobile offers discounts, Quince provides affordable luxury, 1-800-Flowers offers Mother's Day savings, and coenzyme Q10 is suggested for migraine relief

      Both cryotherapy and cold water swimming can provide unique benefits. The former, used by tech industry leaders, leaves one feeling energized and pumped up, while the latter brings about a sense of calm and stillness. On a different note, Mint Mobile is offering discounted wireless plans, Quince provides luxury fashion at affordable prices, and 1-800-Flowers offers Mother's Day savings on gifts and flowers. For those dealing with migraines, coenzyme Q10 is one supplement suggested by the National Migraine Center for its energy-boosting properties.

    • Effective prevention of migraines with aura or visual disturbances requires higher dosage of magnesium supplementationFor migraine prevention, take a higher dosage of magnesium supplements, around 600mg daily, for 3-6 months.

      For effective prevention of migraines, especially those with aura or visual disturbances, a higher dosage of magnesium supplementation is required, around 600 milligrams daily, for a minimum of 3 to 6 months. This information is crucial for those suffering from migraines, as many healthcare professionals may not be well-informed about the proper usage and dosage of magnesium for migraine prevention. Additionally, resources like the National Migraine Center offer valuable treatment and support for those dealing with migraines, with their Heads Up podcast being an excellent source of information. During a recent speaking engagement, it was alarming to discover the lack of knowledge among some top healthcare professionals regarding hormone health and safe HRT usage. Women often find themselves educating medical experts on these matters, and platforms like podcasts can help disseminate important information more widely and challenge outdated beliefs. At a recent dinner with leading experts, discussions centered around the use of hormone replacement therapy for mental health and depression, highlighting the importance of addressing the intersection of hormonal imbalances and mental health concerns.

    • Boosting metabolism during menopauseDuring menopause, decreased estrogen levels can lead to mental health issues. Boost metabolism through high-intensity interval training and learn about menopause from resources like the 'Wellness with Lazar' podcast and Whole Foods Market.

      As estrogen levels decrease during menopause, mental health issues can arise. These issues can be extensive and interconnected, making it feel like unraveling a ball of yarn. However, there are ways to boost metabolism, such as high-intensity interval training, which can help burn fat faster and provide a metabolism boost. Additionally, there are various resources available for learning about menopause and related health issues, such as the "Wellness with Lazar" podcast. Remember, taking care of your health is important, and small steps like regular exercise and self-education can make a big difference. For more information and inspiration, check out the "Wellness with Lazar" podcast and Whole Foods Market for Mother's Day shopping.

    Pelvic floor health with your down-there doc, part 2

    Pelvic floor health with your down-there doc, part 2

     

    Pelvic floor health impacts your quality of life, whether you know it or not. Actually, when it stops being healthy, you’ll know it.

    Peeing, pooping, sexual satisfaction – being successful at these things requires a healthy pelvic floor, and as we age, the muscles that make up that floor can weaken. Because it’s so important to keep this “hammock” of muscles strong and responsive, we talked to physiotherapist Dr. Susie Gronski, “your doc for all things down there.” She gave us the low down on our down-unders: what happens when things are out of whack and how to get them back.

    Have a listen to part I of this conversation, “to your pelvic health, our talk with dr. Susie Gronski, part 1.” Then continue on below, where Jill talks to Dr. Susie about pain, the role our pelvic floor plays in our sexual health, and the Big Os:

    1:18 Orgasms, pain, and pelvic health

    Experiencing sexual pleasure all the way to orgasm can be more challenging for women, and nearly impossible if there’s pain involved. We asked Dr. Susie how women can relieve the pain and get their desire back. Spoiler alert: help is out there. Dr. Susie fills us in on bringing pleasure and intimacy back into our lives.

    6:08 Dr. Susie’s 6-day course for pelvic health

    In this hands-on (yep), one-on-one course, Dr. Susie teaches students to explore their bodies, interpret what they see and feel, and ultimately, treat and heal themselves. With Dr. Susie’s expert guidance, students learn what the muscles look like, what they do, and how to heal the pain they’re experiencing. Transformation is tough, says Dr. Susie, and everyone should have a support system to get through it.

    10:22 Giving your body 6 days

    We wanted to know how the course worked – is it in-person, or can it be done virtually? The six days are in person, Dr. Susie says, because it’s necessary to touch the person, show them how to touch themselves, what to feel for, what they’re feeling when they find it, and so on.

    11:15 What do women need to be mindful of when it comes to pelvic health?

    Dr. Susie says, remember, you’re not the only one who leaks in Zumba class! Incontinence and other issues are common, and there’s help. Also, it’s not all about kegels; there’s a network of things happening throughout your body, so it’s important to learn beyond kegels. Finally, Dr. Susie reminds us that we can’t be shy when seeking help. It’s your quality of life on the line – get over your “vagina phobia!”

    Here’s to happy private parts!

    Thanks again to Dr. Susie for her expert information on how to keep or regain your healthy pelvic floor. You can find more from Dr. Susie on her website.

    Have you had professional help and training to regain pelvic floor function? We’d love to hear about it and how it helped you get your quality of life back. Please share with us in the comments below (you’re welcome to comment anonymously), email us at info@genneve.com, or let us know on genneve’s Facebook page or in Midlife & Menopause Solutions, genneve’s closed Facebook group.

    This Is Your Brain On Birth Control

    This Is Your Brain On Birth Control

    Your brain on birth control can have some pretty horrific side effects on your body. That’s why, when you’re considering going on the birth control pill, you need to research the current evidence out there, weigh up the pros and cons, and make an educated decision. Sarah E. Hill, author of This is Your Brain on Birth Control, joins me to talk about what actually happens to our bodies when we’re on the pill.

    Sarah is a psychologist who specialized in studying women’s health and the birth control pill, in particular, after she noticed some changes to her body when she came off it. The biggest thing she discovered was that being on the pill actually damped her personality traits - coming off it allowed her actual likes, loves, quirks, and dislikes to shine through again.

    Sarah explains what role cortisol has in our bodies. We’re often scared into thinking cortisol is such a negative hormone, but actually, it has a lot of positive actions. When we’re taking the birth control pill, however, it’s almost like our body doesn’t respond to the cortisol triggers and forgets to have normal, positive responses to situations.

    The birth control pill can be linked to a lot of the health problems and issues our society is currently experiencing, such as post-partum depression, autism, teenage anxiety, and autoimmune diseases. Though Sarah warns against a blanket statement that all birth control pills impact all women in these areas; how our bodies react is really down to our individual brains and physiology.

    Sarah also talks about how being on the birth control pill can actually impact what type of partner we choose. Research has shown that if you choose a partner that you’re attracted to while on the pill, you’re more likely to stay together if you come off it, as opposed to choosing a mate you’re not attracted to but has other redeeming qualities. But overall, women who are on the pill are less likely to get divorced than women with naturally occurring cycles.

    Are you on the birth control pill? Have you had any of the health issues we’ve talked about on this show? Do you feel like your personality traits are less your own while on the pill?

     

    In This Episode:

    • Why the birth control pill can dampen your personality traits
    • How the birth control pill blunts our body’s cortisol response
    • What the link between the birth control pill and post-partum depression is
    • How being on the birth control pill impacts choosing our mates
    • What the relationship between the birth control pill and autoimmune diseases is
    • How your brain and individual physiology impacts the way your body reacts to being on the birth control pill
    • Why you should monitor a teenager’s anxiety levels if they choose to start using the birth control pill

     

    Quotes:

    “Cortisol is part of how our body is embedding those meaningful events into our memories and making us feel good.” (15:31)

    “Women who chose their partners when they were on the Pill were less likely to get divorced later than women who chose their partners while naturally cycling.” (29:18)

    “There’s a million different factors that are going to influence the way that the pill plays out in your individual body’s landscape. So knowing what to look out for, keeping a journal, and knowing what the domains of influence are can really help women start conversations with their doctors to troubleshoot their options.” (43:18)

    Finding Comfort in Food Instead of Feeling

    Finding Comfort in Food Instead of Feeling

    Tune in to this week's episode to create awareness...

    Emotional eating and self-sabotage are protective behaviors many women use to comfort ourselves and hide, often, at the expense of our health.  There are four common phases in an emotional eating cycle: trigger, comfort, remorse, and punishment.  Awareness of this coping strategy helps create a more empowered mindset to find healthier coping methods.  Women are more likely to maintain a healthy lifestyle if they acknowledge and heal their emotional wounds.  Replacing the traditional weight loss mindset of judgement, deprivation, and resentment with a new mindset of courage and curiosity is more sustainable for achieving and maintaining a positive body image long term.

    How to Eat Your Way to a Healthier Menopause

    How to Eat Your Way to a Healthier Menopause

    Eat your way to a healthier menopause. I’m joined by Dr. Liz Lipski, my dear girlfriend who shares her insight into gut health, especially for post-menopausal women. We all know by now that the gut is the gateway to our overall health, so when we figure out what foods we can and can’t eat, and what type of diet we thrive on, our health will be unstoppable.

    Key Takeaways

    Foods You Should Eat for Estrogen Balance

    • Broccoli
    • Cabbage
    • Brussel Sprouts
    • Kale
    • Kohlrabi
    • Mustard Greens

    About Dr. Liz Lipski

    Prof. Liz Lipski, Ph.D., CNS, FACN, IFMCP, BCHN, LDN is Professor and the Director of the Academic Development for the graduate programs in Clinical Nutrition at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, the owner of the Innovative Healing Academy, and the author of Digestive Wellness, now in its 5th edition.

    Dr. Lipski holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Nutrition, is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition (FACN), and holds two board certifications in clinical nutrition (CNS, and BCHN) and one in functional medicine (IFMCP). She is on faculty for The Institute for Functional Medicine, and the Metabolic Medicine Institute fellowship program. She is on the board for

    the American Nutrition Association, and advisory boards for the Certified International Health Coaches, and the Autism Hope Alliance.

    Dr. Lipski has been a co-author in peer-reviewed papers and is the author of several books: Digestive Wellness, Digestive Wellness for Children, and Leaky Gut Syndrome, and a video course The Art of Digestive Wellness.

    After 30 years of clinical practice, she devotes her time to teaching, writing, and building the field of personalized nutrition.

    Heal Your Gut for a Healthy Menopause

    Dr. Liz Lipski devotes her life to finding innovative and sustainable ways to heal your gut microbiome. She shares how quickly you can change your gut health. It might surprise you to learn you can start feeling improvements in around 24 hours!

    Did you know that the word diet doesn’t have to refer to food restriction for weight loss? We’re changing the approach to the diet to focus on the type of food and eating habits that help YOU thrive. Liz explains why more and more people are turning to restrictive diets, such as gluten-free, vegan, Keto, or carnivore instead of getting to the root of their health problems.

    Especially for post-menopausal women, we need to focus on eating estrogen-balancing foods. Liz shares some of the best foods for this, including broccoli, cabbage, and kale, so make sure you’re loading your plates with these.

    You also might have noticed, as you age, that you can no longer tolerate some foods like you used to. Liz explains how this could be a histamine intolerance that’s showing up in your body through bloating or other uncomfortable symptoms.

    Discover the FODMAP Diet

    One way that Liz encourages you to explore your food sensitivities and intolerances is to follow the FODMAP diet. This is an elimination diet that can indicate what foods you should avoid. One thing we both know is that when we put our patients on the FODMAP diet, their symptoms improve dramatically in a short period of time.

    Most people have a diet that’s very high in processed foods. We should all endeavor to be more mindful of what we eat and try to stick to more natural, whole foods. Trust me, when you find the diet that’s right for your body, you will thrive on it!

    Liz also explains the second part to having a healthy gut: making time for yourself and keeping your stress levels in check. When we prioritize our own mental health and well-being, we’re better able to keep our guts healthy. Putting ourselves first also gives us more energy to assist others. 

    How do you fill your own bucket? What activities do you find gives you more energy? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page. If you have questions, email team@drannacabeca.com.

    Quotes

    “For me, digestion is really this river of life. Just like any river, it can get slowed down, sluggish, not work very well, and dried up, or it can flood. We don’t want either of those things to happen. We just want this to be working really well.” [11:07]

    “Especially for women, cabbage family foods are so protective for breast cancer and other hormone-dependent cancers.” [22:20]

    “I think it’s just interesting to know what those trigger foods are for us and be aware of it. Then you can make a choice.” [40:32]

    “Our body is always trying to tell us and if we slow down enough, it will give us wisdom.” [54:45]

    208 - Ultra-processed food unwrapped with Henry Dimbleby

    Henry Dimbleby, co-founder of Leon, food campaigner and writer, joins the podcast this week to talk about the dangers of a diet high in ultra-processed foods – that is, foods with a long list of ingredients such as preservatives and emulsifiers not typically found in home cooking.

    While convenient, ultra-processed foods such as breakfast cereals and mass-produced breads do not fill us up, encourage us to eat more and contribute to weight gain, Henry says.

    ‘Food is by far the biggest thing making us sick,’ he says.

    In this episode, Henry talks to Dr Louise about breaking the ultra-processed food cycle, ignoring calories and eating more food cooked from scratch. They also discuss his new book Ravenous, which looks at how to eat in a way that is better for you and the planet.

    Henry’s three tips: 

    1. Exercise has huge benefits for your health, so find an enjoyable form. Don’t think about it as being for weight loss, but for other health benefits.
    2. Cook from scratch as much as you can and include lots of fibrous green veg and pulses in your dishes.
    3. Try and reduce ultra-processed, plastic-wrapped food packed with mystery ingredients in your diet. Getting rid of breakfast cereals is a good place to start.
