4:50 Hormonal birth control and xenoestrogens from our environment push women into perimenopause and premature ovarian failure.
6:30 Women who come off birth control may experience early perimenopause.
9:30 Bioidentical hormones can help women coming off hormonal birth control to recuperate.
11:30 Women have more testosterone than estrogen.
13:40 PCOS is an insulin and low progesterone issue.
15:40 Women’s estrogen and progesterone are produced in the ovarian follicles. Adrenal glands also produce estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
18:25 AMH levels reflect the ovarian reserve.
18:50 Egg quality depends upon balanced levels of estrogen and testosterone.
21:30 DHEA is important for energy, healthy estrogen levels, blood sugar metabolism, immune system,
muscle mass, and post workout recovery.
29:05 All hormones are at their peak between 8 and 10 am.
29:45 Blood/serum testing is the most accurate.
32:30 Follicle-stimulating hormone FSH helps the egg to mature and stimulates the release of estrogen
and progesterone.
34:15 We are starting to see late perimenopause and menopause levels of FSH in young women.
34:40 Optimal estradiol is between 70 to 150.
35:00 The follicular phase starts on day one of bleeding and luteal starts with ovulation.
37:15 Body temperature and cervical fluid are effective ways to determine if you are ovulating.
42:00 Signs of low progesterone
46:50 Bioidentical oral progesterone
50:00 Helps with sleep: valerian root, CBD, magnesium, GABA, and L-theanine (am and pm).
53:30 Growth hormone peptides can help you sleep through the night.
58:45 Oxytocin nasal spray is neuroprotective and can help with stress management and resilience,
anxiety, and depression.
59:50 Women should consume 30 to 40 grams of protein at least 3 to 4 times per day, with a minimum
of 120 grams/day.

Show Notes:
00:00 A review of randomized control trials of at least 24-month duration.
00:45 There are nutrients/vitamins in fat.
01:30 There was little or no effect on cardiovascular or all-cause mortality by reducing
saturated fat for 2 years.
01:38 Reducing saturated fat possibly reduced cardiovascular events.
04:00 Heart attack risk and saturated fat reduction has no clear correlation.
05:30 Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat, carbs, or protein
effects did not differ.
06:15 There may be a prevention of second heart attacks with saturated fat reduction.
07:00 Other cardiovascular events and cancer outcomes effects were very small or unclear.
08:00 Carbohydrates and processed foods are often used to replace saturated fat in the diet.

0:25 The Fructose Survival Hypothesis theory of obesity.
1:10 Fructose reduces the active energy within your cells.
2:50 Table sugar contains glucose and fructose.
2:55 Excessive glucose can be converted into fructose.
4:10 Fructose kinase enzyme is a key initiator of deleterious fructose/glucose effects.
4:55 Leptin causes you to seek more food. Excess fructose/glucose drives hyperleptinemia.
6:45 Fruit sugar increases body fat storage to help you survive the winter.
7:24 Aging pathways are disrupted with high levels of blood sugar.
10:00 Uric acid, and liver enzyme elevation may be biomarkers.
12:10 High carb/high salt diets increase risk of diabetes.
