Although birth control pills may be referred to as hormonal contraception, in reality, there are not any natural hormones found in birth control pills. Birth control "hormones" are not hormones. Instead, they are endocrine system disrupters. These chemicals can cause long term side effects that doctors rarely, if ever, warn us about. These pills are frequently used as a quick fix for perimenopausal symptoms, despite safer and more effective options like bioidentical hormones being available. In this episode find out the scary truth about the long term side effects of the continuous use of birth control medication.

Let’s talk about the complex journey of navigating perimenopause, particularly the challenges of managing heavy menstrual cycles. Drawing from some of my personal experiences, I explore why common medical solutions like ablation, birth control pills, and hysterectomy may not always be the best options. We examine the consequences these treatments can have on hormone levels, gut health, and cognitive function. By shedding light on the root causes of heavy bleeding, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and hormonal shifts, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of all available options before having to consider significant surgical interventions.

 

In this episode:

• How heavy menstrual cycles are a common issue during perimenopause for many women.
• Why hysterectomy is often suggested for heavy bleeding but may not be the best option.
• How uterine ablation is a less invasive option compared to hysterectomy.
• Why hormonal balance and gut health are crucial considerations for menstrual health.
• What potential side effects are associated with hysterectomy, including early menopause and cognitive impairments.
• How the role of progesterone in regulating menstrual cycles can affect bleeding.
• Why endometriosis is more than just a hormonal condition and involves immune dysregulation.
• What role bioidentical hormones and supplements play in managing heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Why testing hormone levels is essential to avoid assumptions about estrogen dominance.
• How fibroids and adenomyosis can contribute to heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Why uterine cancer and polyps should be ruled out as causes of heavy bleeding.
• How hormonal shifts during perimenopause impact progesterone levels and menstrual cycles.
• What misconceptions exist around the use of birth control pills for heavy bleeding.
• How removing ovaries during hysterectomy can lead to immediate menopause.
• What impact a hysterectomy can have on bladder, bowel, and pelvic support.
• How social norms influence women's health decisions and treatment options.

In this episode, we’re diving into an incredibly profound and deeply personal journey with Robert Mack, an Ivy League-educated Positive Psychology Expert, Celebrity Happiness Coach, and author. UPenn is the only institution in the world offering a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology, and Robert is one of the leading voices in understanding the connection between happiness and success. But what makes Robert’s story extraordinary is his journey from despair to hope, from contemplating ending his life to becoming a beacon of positivity and resilience. Robert shares his raw and unfiltered account of being deeply unhappy from an early age, battling severe anxiety and self-loathing, and reaching a point where he considered suicide as the only way out. Yet, in his darkest moment—knife in hand—something remarkable happened. Robert describes an overwhelming sense of peace, love, and joy washing over him, a feeling so profound that it stopped him in his tracks. He refers to this as a "divine intervention," a moment that shifted his perspective and inspired him to dig deeper into the science and spirituality of happiness. Robert’s story is not just about his struggles but about the incredible transformation that followed. Through research, self-discovery, and faith in something greater than himself, he found a way to rewrite his narrative. Now, he dedicates his life to helping others find their own happiness and purpose. Whether you’ve struggled with dark moments or are simply seeking inspiration to live a more fulfilling life, this episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of finding light even in the darkest of times. Tune in for a conversation that is as raw and real as it is uplifting. http://www.coachrobmack.com/ Listen to the full episode here: https://karenmartel.com/positive-psychology-harnessing-the-power-of-happiness-with-rob-mack/ GET $400 OFF YOUR JASPR AIR PURIFIER FROM NOV 12th - 19th with coupon code hormonesolution!! https://jaspr.co/hormonesolution

Today’s episode has me talking all about the critical role of estrogen in managing menopausal health and metabolism. We unravel common misconceptions, such as the idea that progesterone deficiency is the primary cause of menopausal symptoms, and discuss estradiol's influence on the thermoneutral zone. By maintaining estrogen levels within the "Goldilocks zone," we explore its impact on metabolic health, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Additionally, I explain estradiol's interaction with serotonin and dopamine, which affects mood and appetite regulation. I also emphasize the importance of hormonal balance, especially when considering hormone replacement therapy, and explore the roles of acylation stimulating protein and progesterone in fat storage.

 

In this episode:

• How estrogen plays a crucial role in metabolism during menopause.
• Why estradiol is significant in regulating the thermoneutral zone, affecting hot flashes.
• What the "Goldilocks zone" of estrogen is and why it’s important to be within it.
• How estrogen dominance can lead to increased fat storage and insulin resistance.
• Why decreased estrogen levels increase the risk of metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
• How estradiol supports insulin function and stabilizes blood sugar levels.
• The interaction of estradiol with cortisol and progesterone impacts glucose metabolism.
• How estradiol influences emotional well-being through serotonin and dopamine interaction.
• Why estradiol modulates appetite and satiety signals, aiding in weight management.
• The role of acylation stimulating protein in fat storage during the menstrual cycle.
• Why estradiol's activation of AMPK enhances energy expenditure and reduces appetite.
• How estradiol supports mitochondrial health, energy production, and muscle growth.
• Why maintaining estradiol levels is essential for reducing systemic inflammation.
• The potential benefits of estrogen replacement therapy in managing menopausal weight gain.
