    Ep. 66 | Beyond the Quick Fix: A Functional Approach to Hormones and Health

    Beyond the Quick Fix: A Functional Approach to Hormones and Health Are you tired of doctors pushing prescriptions without looking for the root cause of your symptoms? In this episode, I share why I take a different approach as a functional nutrition practitioner and menopause specialist. Through personal stories - including my own experience with a doctor who wanted to prescribe strong blood pressure medication for stress without considering natural alternatives - I explain why comprehensive testing is crucial for understanding your body's needs. Learn about the gold standard DUTCH test, why all nine thyroid markers matter (not just the standard two), and how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be part of a balanced approach to hormone health. Discover why protecting your bone and brain health with proper hormone support is essential, and how natural interventions combined with appropriate BHRT can create optimal results. Whether you're dealing with hormone-related issues or simply want to understand your body better, this episode will show you why there's more to healthcare than quick-fix prescriptions and 15-minute doctor visits. It's time to take control of your health through proper testing, understanding root causes, and making informed decisions about your treatment options.   Read more about me: https://linktr.ee/cindistickle Learn more about activation here: www.activatedlife.net   NATURAL GLP-1 ACTIVATOR for weight loss and more: https://cindistickle.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/glp-1-system   Read about the amazing Activation products here: https://cindistickle.lifevantage.com IG: @cindisticklenutrition   FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cindisticklenutrition   https://www.facebook.com/MenopauseFlexibleNutrition Reach out here: www.cindistickle.com cindi@cindistickle.com

    Ep. 62 | Why Intermittent Fasting Sabotages Your Menopausal Body

    Why Intermittent Fasting Sabotages Your Menopausal Body In this eye-opening episode of Nutrition Your Way, we tackle the popular trend of intermittent fasting and why it's fundamentally incompatible with the menopausal body. While social media influencers might promote intermittent fasting as a one-size-fits-all solution, the reality is that your menopausal body requires a completely different approach. Discover why skipping breakfast can trigger a cascade of hormonal disruptions during menopause, leading to increased belly fat, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. We dive deep into the science of why your body's stress response system, insulin regulation, and cortisol patterns make intermittent fasting not just ineffective, but potentially harmful during this life stage. This episode breaks down: - The crucial differences between a 20-something body and a menopausal body - How menopause changes your body's stress response system - Why breakfast becomes non-negotiable during menopause - Practical, hormone-friendly alternatives to intermittent fasting - Simple strategies for timing your meals to support your changing metabolism Whether you're approaching menopause, in the thick of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode provides clear, science-backed guidance for working with your body's natural rhythm, not against it. Learn why nourishing your body consistently throughout the day isn't just about comfort – it's about hormonal necessity.
