Mindsip insights from this episode:
Revitalize mitochondria with Mitopure for enhanced strength and endurance
The supplement Mitopure by Timeline is clinically proven to revitalize mitochondria and can boost muscle strength and endurance even without changes in exercise.
Manage stress to maintain progesterone levels
High cortisol from stress causes progesterone to decrease, which can lead to difficult or absent periods, especially the week before your cycle.
Cycle carbs to balance hormones for women over 40
Women over 40 should cycle between low-carb days to balance estrogen and higher-carb days to support the thyroid and progesterone.
Balance gut health to regulate estrogen levels
Unhealthy gut bacteria can unwrap and cause you to reabsorb estrogen that your body is trying to excrete, leading to estrogen dominance.
Choose DUTCH test over blood tests for cycling women
For cycling women, a urinary DUTCH test is superior to a blood test because it reveals how hormones are being broken down and metabolized.
Choose topical estrogen for safer hormone therapy
Oral estrogen is more pro-inflammatory and increases blood clot risk compared to topical (transdermal) estrogen because it must be processed by the liver.
Choose natural micronized progesterone over synthetic Provera
The synthetic progesterone Provera can cause negative side effects like weight gain and depression, and natural micronized progesterone is a better alternative.
Test AMH levels to assess fertility potential
The Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test is a great indicator of a woman's fertility, with higher numbers indicating greater fertility.
