Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill
Changing Conversations Around Age, Potential, and Possibility for Women in MIDLIFE
We get a lot of messages from women in midlife who seem to have simply given up on life. They have a ton of stories that are NOT aided by the masses and the media. But it does NOT have to be that way! No, it’s not just aging! It doesn’t HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT! And no, it’s not all about looks. It’s about the labs, the aches, the pains, your HEALTH and vitality.
You all have learned by now if you follow me and the podcast that gut health is CRITICAL for our health. I was experiencing a whole bunch of mysterious symptoms that I was just chalking up to “aging badly” in perimenopause and menopause. You’ve heard me talk about gut testing, and getting rid of parasites, and removing toxins – you name it. But I wanted to dive deeper into WHY we need to do certain things like HCL, probiotics, etc. Wade and Matt are the founders of BIOptimizers and I am excited to have them on today to talk about just that!
As a former engineer, among many other titles, Jason Prall is a sleep expert. Back in 2018 he did an independent research study as a practitioner that led him to create The Human Longevity project – a 9 part film series – that uncovers the true nature of chronic disease. The traditional medical system is simply NOT taught research proven methods to solve a lot of our chronic issues. When it comes to disease, it’s not just what we see on the surface. It’s not always “hormones” or “aging” or “insert whatever here”. There is a WHOLE range of contributing factors that we have to uncover and discover that feed into our equation of “health”.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is the presence of excessive bacteria in the small intestine and can be the cause of chronic diarrhea and malabsorption – which leads to the potential to suffer with nutritional deficiencies and osteoporosis. What happens is that it harms the migrating motor complex, which is a sweeping motion in the small intestines that sweeps out bacteria and debris.
The Girlfriend Doctor, Dr. Anna Cabeca, DO, FACOG is back on Midlife Conversations today to talk about hormone replacement for women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. There is a lot of controversy around this topic but I am a firm believer in its ability to help us. There IS a right way to do things: from testing properly to following the right order of things. One of the things I LOVE about Dr. Anna Cabeca is that she is in alignment with that and she is SO GOOD at breaking things down in a simple, easy to understand and follow way – telling us only what we need to know and cutting through the information overload.
