Episode 28: Nutritional Changes in Your 40s Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

In my practice, I work with women of all ages. When I am asked to give the "best nutrition advice" I always answer back- "well, for which age group?" because the way a 20-30 year old eats is/and should be different than women in their 40-50s eat. In this episode I share with you nutritional changes in your 40s, with some explanation on how hormones work in your 40s and most importantly, how to help alleviate some symptoms.

Few things I share in this episode:

- the hormonal changes happening in the body after 40
- role of the autonomic nervous system
- phytoestrogens
- tips on how to support your hormonal changes
- how to alleviate a few symptoms of perimenopause/menopause such as hot flashes

Episode 26: My CGM Experience Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

I did an experiment on myself - and as a data nerd, I couldn't wait to share my CGM experience and results with you! The reason why I wanted to track and share my data is because I have a lot of clients who use the continuous glucose monitor for diabetes management and wanted to truly get an experience that my clients are going through to further help them. Plus, I just love data and results! So I tried it myself. Episode 26 is all about my CGM experience.

A few things I touch on

what is the CGM and how I use it with clients
biggest findings in data using the CGM
SUPER surprising factors that did not affect my glucose levels
how this is helpful in adjusting your diet and lifestyle
the power of technology in your health regimen
