The Imperfect PCOS Podcast Cory Ruth

If you’ve ever wondered about how your body will change during perimenopause and menopause (or if you’re currently in the thick of this and struggling), this episode is going to be your new audio bible.

From crappy sleep, to mood changes like deeper depression and anger, to thinning hair, to just feeling “blah” - we’re sitting down with expert Dr. Carrie Jones to help us understand exactly why we change so much, and what we can do to navigate and optimize this delicate time in life. 

Dr. Jones explains that there are over 100 different menopause-related symptoms out there (ever heard of itchy ears? Yeah, that’s a thing!) BUT, she affirms that there is SO much we can do to mitigate these unwanted side effects of aging as women. 

She also spills the tea on our gut microbiome and how it affects our hormones (like helping boost our mood), how to actually impact it to help bring about changes in how we experience our hormones, how testosterone and estrogen changes where fat is deposited and our metabolism, and the 411 on using bioidentical hormones. Let’s get into it!

Ovarian cysts, heavy periods, and fibroids- oh my. What DON’T we deal with as women?! Fibroids can cause heavy and painful periods, bleeding in between periods, back pain, bladder and bowel pressure, pain with sex, and even miscarriage. 

Today Brooke Davis, a Registered Nurse and Holistic Nutritionist, sits down to help us understand the driving force of fibroids, how they impact our health, and what we can do to prevent and treat them.

Brooke has been fibroid-free for six years now, and has two healthy kiddos. Join us today to learn all about the major risk factors for fibroids like high blood pressure and low vitamin D, the right dietary changes and diet myths we might hear like “you have to go vegetarian”, anti-inflammation strategies, and how to optimize your gut for healthier hormones. 

Pull up a chair and let’s do this!

Poor sleep (or not enough shut eye) can negatively impact our energy levels, mood, hormones, workouts, and even our weight! Plus, women with PCOS are at a higher risk for both insomnia and sleep apnea.

Bottom line: getting enough deep sleep can absolutely make or break your health journey. 

Today Rebekka Wall, a Certified Adult Sleep Consultant, joins us to dive deep into why some of us aren’t sleeping as well as we should and how to achieve higher quality ZZZZ’s for optimal hormone health.

Learn your sleep archetype, create healthier sleep habits, and minimize roadblocks you may not even know exist that may be keeping you from higher energy levels, less stress, and a better state of mind. 

You’re going to love this one!
