    About this Episode

    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]

    Memorable Quotes:

    "Now, fortunately, if you optimize for health and longevity, that tends to self-correct any of the other challenges that cause those conditions to begin with. So that's one of the reasons why I do it. And I think because your body wants to be healthy. It was designed to be healthy. It's intrinsically directed towards to achieve that unless you throw some roadblocks in the way. And most people are so confused and brainwashed by traditional conventional media that it's a full-time job to figure this thing out." [00:05:28] – Dr. Joseph Mercola

    "It's definitely a new world. You really can't predict it, but you can see the trends, and trends don't look encouraging. You really want to build health and resiliency because it's a very short time. I mean, this access to information we just shared is going to disappear. They're taking it all off the internet. It is gone. No, it's actually not off. It's still there, but it's out of the resources and tools you would typically use to find it." [00:47:45] – Dr. Joseph Mercola

    Memorable Quotes:

     

    "Sulforaphane opens up some 200 pathways. It's like opening all the doors. It unclogs all the drains. It pulls up all the manhole covers. It just opens and says, get out. You can go now. And it's great for your detoxification pathways. Not just estrogen, but chemicals and toxicants and other hormones that just need to go, medications that are on their way out, all those things." [00:13:35] – Dr. Carrie Jones

     

    "I feel a lot of empathy for all the women everywhere, because you and I are in this field. So, we know what's going on biologically, physiologically. But if you have no idea, I 100% empathize with you. I know it can feel rough. And I know in medicine, it's not very well talked about or told about. And so even if you go to your OBGYN, you know, they may be more focused on the younger baby years. That's what their expertise in. They are not an expert yet in perimenopause and menopause. And so, it can be really frustrating." [00:32:18] – Dr. Carrie Jones
