139: How Hormone Changes Impact Your Weight with Dr. Betty Murray Your Longevity Blueprint
-
- Nutrition
Dr. Betty Murray joins me today to share lots of new information! We discuss how changes in estrogen- both too much during perimenopause and not enough after menopause, lead to metabolic changes in the cells that slow your metabolism. We get into how the genetics that control estrogen detoxification may lead to weight gain and risk for diabetes, obesity, and cancer, how menopause interferes with the key cellular fat switch, and the foods that turn that fat switch on. Betty also shares her three diet rules that may need to be broken to lose weight and keep it off for life.
Three diet rules for losing weight:
Avoid fake sweeteners
Stay hydrated
Avoid purine-rich foods and flavor enhancements
Dr. Betty Murray’s Bio:
