    Today, I am thrilled to speak with Dr. Carrie Jones to delve into the concept of the "middle pause," which refers to the transition from perimenopause to menopause. We’ll examine how lifestyle habits that were effective in women's 20s and 30s may lose their efficacy during this phase.

We both stress the need for women to seek supportive healthcare providers and embrace this transitional period. Tune in!

    Ep. 443 Dogmatism in Nutrition: When It Becomes an Identity with Nina Teicholz

    Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Nina Teicholz, an investigative science journalist, author, nutritional thought leader, and a science writer I love to follow.  In our conversation today, Dr. Teicholz highlights the challenges of distinguishing real news from propaganda, and we examine how nutritional dogma shapes the identity of many individuals. We explore the history and consequences of our food guidelines, including the Diet-Heart Hypothesis and the Seven Countries Study, looking at the impact of cancel culture in science, the role of seed oils and processed carbohydrates, and the misconceptions about red and processed meats. She also shares her vision for the future, which includes much-needed shifts in nutritional guidelines to improve metabolic health.  This discussion with Nina Teicholz is eye-opening, so you may want to listen to it more than once. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Difficulties with finding real information and reliable advice on nutrition and health Why we need to be open-minded about dietary changes Biological truths that apply to all humans  How toxins and chronic stress impact our health Historical context of our dietary guidelines How the Seven Countries Study impacted the Diet-Heart hypothesis Long-term influence of the Diet-Heart hypothesis on our dietary guidelines Nina outlines the unintended consequences of the Diet-Heart hypothesis Challenges of changing the current diet guidelines How the notion that red and processed meats cause cancer came about Bio: Nina Teicholz Nina Teicholz, a science journalist, is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. Named a *Best Book* of the Year by The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and Mother Jones, among others, it continues to be called a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the amazing story of how we came to believe fat is bad for health and what a better diet might look like. Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based-work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate.

    BONUS: The Incredible Benefits of Algae, Chlorella and Spirulina with Dr. Catharine Arnston

    Today, I am honored to connect with Catharine Arnston, the Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits.  I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet Catharine in person this past July at KetoCon in Austin. Much of her work focuses on optimizing mitochondrial function and recognizing that mitochondria are pivotal to our metabolism, longevity, brain and gut health, sleep, digestion, and almost everything else.  In our conversation, we dive into what got Catharine passionate about algae. We speak about her transition from a corporate economic development role into a budding entrepreneur, the distinctions between micro and macroalgae, and the more than 100,000 studies that have been done- especially in Asia, that show algae are of the most alkaline and nutrient-dense foods available. We differentiate between spirulina and chlorella and explain their roles in our mitochondrial health. We also discuss how our stressful lifestyles impact our cellular health and talk about autophagy, red light therapy, immune function, and more. I hope you enjoy today’s eye-opening discussion about the value of consuming microalgae daily. Stay tuned to find out what microalgae are and what they do to keep you healthy! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How an issue with her sister’s health resulted in Catharine becoming passionate about algae as a food source. Algae is a food, not a supplement.  How do macroalgae differ from algae? Spirulina and chlorella are grown as fresh-water crops. So they contain no iodine. They also have no lectins or oxalates.  Catharine explains why algae are some of the most nutrient-dense foods available.  Why are algae critical for maintaining mitochondrial health? Consuming microalgae every day means you do not have to deteriorate as you age. What makes spirulina’s absorption rate so high?  The health benefits of consuming chlorella. Catherine explains how spirulina and chlorella differ and work together synergistically. How does chlorella differ from activated charcoal? What are the benefits of having chlorophyll in your body when exposed to red light? Catharine unpacks the immune-supportive aspects of spirulina and chlorella. Spirulina and chlorella are keto-friendly, can be used when fasting intermittently, and are safe for people with diabetes.   Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website  Connect with Dr. Catharine Arnston On her website (Use the 20% discount code: CYNTHIATHURLOW On Facebook On Instagram (@energybits) On Twitter (@energybits)  Resources: Why Algae is a Food, Not a Supplement Article Algae Article Chlorophyll Article Collagen Article

    Ep. 441 Women & Heart Health: A Cardiology Masterclass, Part 1

    We have a mashup episode today, exploring heart health during menopause and the benefits of hormone replacement therapy.  In this episode, Dr. Felice Gersh dives into the role of estrogen in immune function, inflammation, and heart health. Dr. Deb Matthew highlights the importance of assessing cardiovascular risks and hormone balance in perimenopausal and menopausal women to optimize heart health and minimize reliance on statins. Join us as Dr. Matthew and Dr. Gersh share their insights on heart health, hormones, and menopause. Ep. 356: Menopause, Heart Health, and HRT with Dr. Felice Gersh [00:01:53] Dr. Gersh guides listeners in understanding and appreciating the impact of estrogen on immune function, inflammation, and the healing processes within the body. [49:33] Estradiol is vital for heart health, and its decline after menopause can lead to issues like stiffening of the heart, heart failure, and arrhythmias in women. Ep. 325 Menopausal Toolkit: Heart, Brain and Hormonal Health with Dr. Deb Matthew [00:01:30] Most women fear breast cancer more than heart disease, even though cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Yet, clinicians fail to talk enough about the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy in mitigating the risk of heart disease during perimenopause and menopause.  [00:04:04] While estrogen can benefit the cardiovascular health of women, the risks associated with oral estrogen and synthetic forms, including blood clots and artery plaque instability, have led to hesitancy in using hormone replacement therapy despite its potential long-term benefits when administered correctly. [00:11:26] The balance of hormones like testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health. Imbalances, such as flat cortisol patterns due to stress, potentially increase the risk of heart disease. Dr. Matthew uses tests like coronary artery scans and coronary intima-media thickness to assess cardiovascular risk in patients before considering hormone replacement therapy. [00:20:22] Dr. Matthew emphasizes the importance of advanced lipid testing, addressing the nuances of cholesterol particle size and inflammation, balancing hormones, and optimizing thyroid and blood sugar levels to manage cardiovascular risk instead of immediately resorting to statins. Bio: Dr. Deb Matthew Dr. Deb Matthew MD, The Happy Hormones Doctor, is a best-selling author, international speaker, educator, wife, and mom of four boys. After suffering for years from fatigue and irritability due to hormone imbalances, her quest to resolve her personal health led her to change everything about her practice of medicine. She has been featured on national podcasts, radio, and broadcast shows, including NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX. Her books, This Is NOT Normal! and Why Can't I Keep Up Anymore? address hormone health in women and men.
