I am thrilled to reconnect with my dear friend, Dr. Stephanie Estima, today.

In this episode, we dive into questions from listeners once more, exploring topics that range from navigating the challenges of perimenopause and parenting to shifting perspectives on fasting, nutrition, and changes in hunger and thirst cues, especially during perimenopause and menopause. We also examine how dairy may become an inflammatory food item in midlife, the benefits of hormesis, hormone therapy, and so much more.

Our conversation today is honest and warm, so it is like sitting down with two close friends. Both Stephanie and I look forward to sharing many more of these Q&A sessions with you in the future.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

Some advice for mothers navigating perimenopause
How to adjust your fasting in midlife
What perimenopause and menopause mean for satiety and hydration signals, and how to adapt
Why some women find dairy problematic in midlife, and how to experiment with reducing it
How hormesis builds resilience, and how stressors, like exercise, fasting, and cold/heat exposure, can improve metabolic and overall health
What you need to consider with hormones like DHEA and pregnenolone
How women with MTHFR can support methylation and detox pathways
The benefits of combining strength training, Zone 2 cardio, and occasional HIIT for fitness in midlife
