How Hormones Change Over 40 Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

In today's episode, Megan interviews Mara claps about understanding hormones when you are at 40.

This podcast cover:

What is happening in a woman's 40s that causes hormones to change?
Why are so many 40s and 50s women in such a struggle with their health?
Average age of menopause
How does a woman know she is perimenopausal?
Is hormone testing valid for perimenopausal women? Menopausal women?
What can be done to build health in the 40s and 50s

Maria Claps is a certified health coach, mother of 4 grown children, and women's healthy aging advocate. After receiving substandard care in NYC, Maria enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in pursuit of a solution for her perimenopausal symptoms that began when she turned 40. Inspired by her training at IIN, Maria pursued 3 additional hormone-centric trainings: - Dr. Sara Gottfried's training program for practitioners; - The Functional Diagnostic Nutrition program; and - The UK-based 3rd Age Woman Certification program with Burrell Education. More recently, Maria launched a 12-week online program called "Thrive Over 45" to educate women on hormone health and DUTCH lab testing, with a dash of sass and fun. Women in their 40s and 50s who feel like they are not getting the support they need from the medical community benefit from the supportive group setting.

S4E8 Does the dose make the poison? Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

In today's episode, Megan interviews Lara Adler about the importance of understanding how chemical exposure affects our health.

In this episode we cover:

Why we need to be aware of, and actively working towards reducing our exposures to toxins

How the chemical exposure has been different through different generations and how epigenetic changes effect this in subsequent generations

Why we have to reconsider the idea of the "dose makes the poison". The amount of chemicals we're exposed to in consumer products, or things like cash register receipts, or drinking water, for example, is NOT too tiny to really matter

Top 2 or 3 areas to focus on to reduce this exposure. The goal is action, not overwhelm.

Lara Adler is an Environmental Toxins Expert & Educator and a Certified Holistic Health Coach who teaches health coaches, nutritionists, and other holistic health practitioners how to eliminate the #1 thing holding their clients back from the results they are seeking – the unaddressed link between chemicals and chronic health problems. She trains practitioners to become experts in everyday toxic exposures so they can improve client outcomes without spending hundreds of hours researching on their own.

In today's episode, Megan interviews Dr. Ann Shippy.

Can you imagine, after experiencing your own health challenges and figuring out that there is a better way, that you decide to go to medical school yourself and pioneer a whole new way to practice medicine?

Her interests and areas of expertise are autoimmunities, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, infertility and pregnancy, and environmental factors such as mold toxicity.
