The Metabolism and Menopause Podcast

Download our supplement guide with dosages here: https://www.vitalityoet.com/menopausesupplements First and foremost let’s be clear a supplement on it’s own will NOT cause weight loss BUT can really help support your body in reducing inflammation, lowering cortisol, and hormone production which when not managed can results in an inability to lose weight or even weight gain. Everywhere you look someone is promoting some sort of supplement and it can be tough to know what is legitimate and what is just a scam. In this episode I walk through what vitamins, minerals, and supplements actually help support your menopause fat loss journey AND what is actually worth purchasing along with foods the help you get what you need naturally. I outline what I personally take and if I could only recommend a couple what I would recommend most and why WITHOUT breaking the bank!

I was so blessed to have coach Brittany on the podcast today to talk all about endometriosis (and adenomyosis). She not only has a ridiculous amount of knowledge around women’s health and hormones BUT also is a woman who has endometriosis and can speak from personal experience. She has lived it - had done multiple things to help and ultimately made the decision to have a hysterectomy (which is not for everyone - listen to episode 25 of the podcast to learn most about hysterectomies and surgical menopause specifically). This podcast will help you understand the risk factors and identify symptoms of endometriosis but also provide you with pain management options and lifestyle changes you can take to improve your quality of life. I am so lucky to have Brittany as a coach on our team because she has lived through hormonal struggles since her first period, has experienced medical gaslighting for decades and because of that it is empowering and coaching women through Vitality through their own hormonal and fat loss journeys. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed recording it. TIMESTAMPS: (00:00) - Intro (01:01) - An overview of endometriosis (02:46) - What is endometriosis?

Can fasting be beneficial? For some - Yes. BUT fasting is meant to be a short term tactic to address a specific problem. Unfortunately for the thousands of women we have worked with fasting made things WORSE for them. In fact I can count the number of women who have done a short term fast in our coaching program for a very specific problem. Fasting is NOT appropriate for the majority of women in perimenopause and the years that follow. In this episode I will help you understand what fasting actually does to your body, if it is appropriate for you and some really great first steps to start addressing the real issues holding you back from achieving your health and fitness goals.
