    Menopause Blood Tests After 40: The 4 To Ask For (When It Is Not Your Fault)

    A wise gardener never stands wringing her hands over a wilting plant. She kneels, she tests the soil, she sees plainly what it is short of, and she calls the right hands for the right task. Tonight you become that gardener, with your own body. For weeks now on Saath we have named what happens to a woman in these years. Tonight it turns. Everything we have named has an answer, and tonight you stop being the patient this is happening to. You pick up the map. THE PLAN, IN THREE SMALL STEPS One. Four tests, one small sample, one quiet morning. Your sugar (HbA1c), your thyroid (TSH), your haemoglobin, and your vitamin D with B12. You need no one's permission to know your own body. Two. When the reports come back, you carry them to your doctor and you sit with him as a partner, not as a patient. A report in your hand changes the whole conversation. Three. You gather a small team. The doctor reads the numbers. But the plate that steadies your sugar is the work of a good dietitian, and the strength that holds your bones upright at seventy is a trained pair of hands at a gym, or a yoga teacher who truly knows this body. Four tests. Four windows. Not one of them a diagnosis, my dear. Each one only light, falling onto a cause that was never your fault. IN THIS EPISODE 0:00 A wise gardener, and a wilting plant 0:25 Tonight, you pick up the map 0:58 Our ritual, arriving 1:13 The plan, straight away 1:28 Three small steps 1:34 One: four tests, one morning 1:57 Two: your reports, your doctor 2:23 Three: gathering your small team 3:19 Why these four 4:44 A few lines to carry 5:09 Eleven diseases before the chai goes cold 5:47 If you do only one thing 6:16 The sentence to carry 6:34 This week, and next Friday ONE GENTLE WORD Saath walks beside your doctor, never in front of him. Nothing in this episode starts or stops a medicine. These are only how you walk into his room already holding the light. NEXT FRIDAY PCOD. PCOS. The word that scared you. What it truly is, why it was never your fault, and why it is the one episode to carry to your daughter. Saath, Journeys with Tasneem. A new episode every Friday at 7 PM. Hosted by Tasneem Bhopalwala.

    Menopause And Sleep: The 3 AM Wake (The Night)

    It is three in the morning. The house is asleep, and you are wide awake, for no reason you can name. If that is you, this one is for you. Tonight we go into the night, and into what those broken hours are quietly doing to your body, and even to the weight you have been trying so hard to move. You will hear why the 3 a.m. wake is so often not worry at all but the change itself, why it was never a failure of yours, and the gentlest five-minute thing you can do, in the very bed you are already lying in, to sleep deeper tonight. Not eight perfect hours. Just a guarded hour, and one small ritual that asks almost nothing of you. Saath is a Friday podcast for Indian women over forty, on perimenopause, menopause, sleep, weight and the things nobody warned you about. I am Tasneem Bhopalwala. A gentle note: this is a conversation between women, not medical advice. Saath walks beside your doctor, never in front of him. If someone has heard your breath stop in your sleep, take that to your doctor, and never start or stop a sleeping medicine on your own. In this episode: 00:00 Three in the morning, wide awake 00:58 Our ritual, arriving 01:51 What a broken night does to your body 02:54 The 3 a.m. wake, and what to take to your doctor 05:18 The five minutes, in your own bed 06:14 The hour before bed, in one checklist 07:49 A few lines to carry 10:22 Next Friday, and keep smiling New episodes every Friday, 7 PM.

    Menopause And Protein: The One Thing You Are Not Eating

    You gave away all the paneer, kept the gravy for yourself, and told everyone you had paneer today. And that katori of dal you call your protein? It is mostly water too. A whole bowl carries about a tablespoon's worth, not the plateful we imagine. Tonight we find your protein, in your own kitchen, with nothing new to buy — and we put it back on your plate first. In this episode: · Why our houses once fed a woman FIRST, and when that turned · The truth about the katori of dal · Why a woman after 40 needs MORE protein, not less (Prof. Stuart Phillips on why the body goes a little hard of hearing in midlife) · The five places protein is already hiding in your kitchen · The one rule that holds it together: a palm of protein at every meal · And one honest word about kidneys, and your doctor This week, one small thing. Just breakfast. Add one protein to your morning plate — a bowl of dahi, two eggs, a glass of milk, or a fistful of chana soaked overnight. Next Friday we walk into The Night, and what the dark hours are quietly doing to your weight. Saath · Journeys with Tasneem New episodes every Friday at 7 PM. Sarvatra Yoga.

    Episode 13 · Why BMI Is Wrong For Indian Women | The Weight Series

    You were measured with a ruler that was never made for your body. That chart on the clinic wall — the one that has called you "too much" for years — was drawn mostly on Western women. An Indian woman can carry the very same amount of fat while standing at a lower number on it. Thin on the outside is not the same as safe on the inside. Tonight I throw that ruler out, and hand you the true one. In this episode: - Why the BMI line begins earlier for Indian bodies, and why that is a flaw in the ruler and not in you - The one measurement you can take at home tonight, with a tape and nothing else — your waist, less than half your height - Why the change often arrives around forty six for us, and knocks first on the knees and shoulders rather than the hot flush - The four small blood tests that tell you what no scale ever can The four tests, so you can write them down: HbA1c · TSH (thyroid) · Haemoglobin · Vitamin D and B12 Carry that list to your doctor. Saath walks beside your doctor, never in front of him. "I am not too much. I was only measured wrong." Next Friday: Meals. The one thing almost every Indian woman is quietly not eating enough of. — Saath, Journeys with Tasneem A new episode every Friday, 7 PM.

    Episode 12 · It Was Never Your Metabolism

    You have been told your metabolism slowed down after forty, and that this weight is the price of growing older. It is not true. Tonight I tell you what the best science actually says, and what really changed instead. The fat moved house, quietly, to your middle. And underneath it you began to lose the one thing nobody ever told you to protect. This episode opens the weight series and gives you the five things that genuinely move a body that will not budge. The five M's: Muscle, Meals, Melatonin, Medical and Measure. Tonight we take the first one, Measure, and it is the most freeing of them all. One thing to do this week: put the scale in the cupboard, and take out the measuring tape. If your doctor has found something that affects this, his plan comes first. Saath walks beside your doctor, never in front. Saath, Journeys with Tasneem. Ten quiet minutes, every Friday at 7 PM.

    Ep 11 · What Should You Eat In A Day After 40?

    The Whole Plate. For four Fridays I handed you one brick at a time. Protein, the brick. Energy, the steady flame. Calcium and cultures, the deep roots. Good fat, without fear. Tonight, the whole house. Not a diet, not a plan you abandon by Tuesday. One ordinary Indian day, from your first chai to your last bite, with all four of your body's asks quietly in place. Your grandmother never counted a gram. She served a thali, and the thali already held the answer. And there is one new habit, only one. Before every meal, a plate of fresh salad, first. Cucumber, tomato, onion, a squeeze of lemon. Then eat your food exactly as you always do, your roti with your sabzi, your dal with your rice. Nothing is taken away. We only add one plate, and we put it first. Next Friday we begin the question I know is sitting quietly in your heart. You are doing everything, and the weight will not move. Nothing is wrong with you. There is a real answer, and it is not the one you have been sold. Saath walks beside your doctor, never in front. If you have been given a plan of your own, that plan comes first.

    Ep 10 · Is Ghee Bad For You After 40?

    For years they told you to fear fat. That it would make you fat, clog you, betray you. So you skimmed it, cut it, ran from it. Here is the quiet truth nobody sat you down to say. Your body cannot make some of these fats on its own. You have to eat them. There is no version of you that is well without them. This is the last of the four asks of PACE. Protein, energy, calcium, and now essential fats. Ten quiet minutes on the food we were taught to fear, finally allowed to defend itself. It was never fat or no fat. It is which fat, and how much. Next Friday, all four come together into one ordinary day of eating. Saath walks beside your doctor, never in front. If you have been told to watch your heart or your cholesterol, follow that advice, and let this be the spirit, not the sum.
