Mindsip insights from this episode:
Ensure intake of key 24 nutrients for optimal hormone production
There are 24 specific vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, called the 'Key 24,' that women need to properly produce their hormones.
Recognize cravings as hormonal signals, not weakness
The intense craving for carbs and sugar the week before a period is a hormonal signal, not a sign of being undisciplined.
Recognize women's role as shock absorbers to address autoimmune disease risk
Citing Gabor Maté, women's higher rates of autoimmune disease may be linked to them acting as 'society's shock absorbers,' bearing a higher chronic stress load.
Treat yourself as N of 1 to discover effective health tools
Instead of pitting health experts against each other, you should treat yourself as a study of one (N of 1) and figure out which tools work for your body at different times.
Assess blood sugar stability without devices
If you feel tired, foggy, or hungry again within two hours of eating, you didn't stabilize your blood sugar, a simple test that requires no device.
Feed good microbes to transform cravings
Your gut bugs control your taste buds and cravings, so when you consciously eat to feed good microbes, your cravings for unhealthy food will change over time.
Address nutrient depletion from birth control pill use
The birth control pill depletes crucial nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, and alters the microbiome to block the production of antioxidants called flavonoids.
Fuel post-menopausal brain with ketones for energy
Research from Lisa Mosconi suggests the female brain becomes less receptive to glucose after menopause and is more tuned in to using ketones for energy.
Embrace perimenopause to enhance empathy and leadership in community
During perimenopause, a woman's brain reorganizes to become more empathetic and societally focused, making her a natural leader and wisdom-keeper for the community.
