    256: You Want Me to Still Have Periods in my 60s and 70s?

    If you’re thinking about replacing your hormones as they decline with age, it’s important to really think through why you want to take hormones and how you want to take hormones.  So that you’re a thinking woman making intelligent decisions about her future rather than an object being acted upon.  Standard practice is that the only reason to take hormones is to take the edge off your most bothersome perimenopausal symptoms and that how you take them is to take the lowest effective dose of estrogen and only to add progesterone if you still have your uterus.  But those aren’t the only reasons or methods, and I think understanding alternative frameworks of thinking about hormone replacement will make your future better, whether you decide to keep having periods in your 60s and 70s or not. email me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com Are you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!

    254: Melatonin During Perimenopause

    How confident are you in choosing the right dose and right form of melatonin to optimize your health in your 40s and 50s?  Our natural production of melatonin decreases with age and with declining sex hormone levels.  And it affects more than just your sleep.  So is it something you should be taking?  And how much should you take and how often should you take it?     www.healthcouragecollective.com Are you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!

    253: It's Time to Use Better Lube

    Good overall health for women requires good vaginal health.  Good vaginal health requires your lube to be made of high quality ingredients.   This is applicable for all women using lube vaginally, but especially around the time of perimenopause when vaginal dryness becomes more common, vaginal pH often starts to shift, the vaginal microbiome often changes and risk of infections goes up.  Most lubes can make all of those things worse, not to mention introducing toxins into your systemic circulation.  It’s time to become more discerning about your lube ingredients.  The typical ones sold in grocery stores are not good enough for you. Reminder of our criteria we require our lube to meet: 1- Won’t raise your vaginal pH 2- Won’t alter your microbiome 3- Is isosmotic (matters for water based only)4- Doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients (ie. any type of paraben, chlorhexidine gluconate, nonoxonol 9, propylene glycol, glycerin, fragrances, petroleum based oils, quaternium 15, polyquaternium 15, benzocaine, menthol, or any type of sugar)   Sex therapist Amanda Louder’s podcast notes that list pH of different lubes and osmolality of different lubes:  https://amandalouder.com/podcast/295/ Dr. Anna Cabeca’s waitlist for her lube, Velvė Her daily vaginal moisturizer with DHEA, Julva: $60.16 Brands mentioned on “The Good List” of this episode: Coconu - both water based and oil based lubes $23 Uberlube - silicone based $22 Sutil - Especially promoted to women with a drop in estrogen $18 Good Clean Love $15 Aloe Cadabara flavored and unflavored $10 Desert Harvest $22 Sliquid $22 My website: www.healthcouragecollective.com - let’s hang out and get you confident and at peace about your hormone health and on track to not have to stop living before you die!

    252: Let Your Brain be Brilliant

    You’re not functioning at your highest level if you have more inputs coming into your brain than it can successfully digest, assimilate, and utilize toward constructing the life you want to live in your 50s, 60s and beyond.  If you don’t feel capable of being fully present with your loved ones and daily experiences and using them to evolve into a better version of yourself, you might be suffering from brain indigestion.  So let’s change that.  People need you at your best.

    251: The Body Part that Can Make You Who You Wish You Were

    In order to get to your 80s and beyond with more energy, strength and independence than most people, you need to do different things than most people do right now.  Things that require some grit, determination and perseverance.  This is no surprise, right?  But did you know that there’s a physical location in your body that’s largely responsible for the motivation to persevere and achieve exceptional outcomes?  An area that you can deliberately train the same way you train your biceps.  And that doing so makes the drive for excellence, the motivation to choose the hard now in favor or the better future, and to stick with it more natural and automatic?  Just part of who you are.  If you want motivation and grit to be an intrinsic part of your natural personality, you need to learn about your anterior mid-cingulate cortex. email me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com Are you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!

    250: Can I Take Estrogen if I've had a Blood Clot?

    Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for perimenopause/menopause an option for you if you've had a blood clot before or have a family history of blood clots? If you don’t want your options for treating perimenopausal symptoms and decreasing your risk for the chronic diseases of aging to be limited without so much as an informed discussion because you’re at an increased risk for blood clots, or if you’ve been worried about blood clots as a possible side effect of hormone replacement therapy, today’s episode is for you.  You’re going to know more than most doctors about the details of this by the end of the episode.
