    If you've listened to this podcast before, you'll know that one of the keys to successful weight loss in the menopause transition and beyond is taking control of your insulin and blood sugar levels. More specifically, being mindful of when and what you're eating in order to allow your levels of insulin, our fat storage hormone, to rise in reaction to typical increases in blood sugar, then fall back down when its work is done.

We see mood changes, skin changes, difficulty sleeping, hot flashes, and then the pièce de résistance for many people... our weight can sneak upwards and aggregate around the middle without changing anything about our diets. Tough!Now just remember, there's light on the other side of the tunnel and e...

    123. Preventative Cardiology with Tracy Paeschke, MD

    There may be some cool medical technology that your primary care doctor isn’t offering you. It could help increase your health span (your healthy years), by telling you what is going on with your heart right now. It might not be offered because you seem “fine,” and it may not be covered by insurance, but it’s not very expensive out-of-pocket for most professional women either. Take the Coronary Artery Calcium Score test, for example. It’s a CT scan to see if you have calcium deposits in ...
