Maybe you want to feel hopeful, like what just just two to three words of how you want to feel. So maybe you're not feeling that way right now. But how do you want to feel? So post right here in the comments, two to three words of how you want to feel because when you know where you're going, the chances of you getting there are very high. If you don't know where you're going, you will never get there ever. So just pause where you're going to post where you're going. So we're going to affect the your body. We're going to vibrant energy we're going to happy and optimistic, right? Joyful, hopeful. Whatever it is for you post it right here. Great. So my hair is a little oily today because I have this really awesome morning. incredibly awesome morning. So I have my girlfriend down here with me Trisha Nelson. Some of you might know her. I'm actually at my beautiful home in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. I've been enjoying just a lovely time here. And I wanted to share some pictures with you, but I just didn't get to organizing them before the presentation today. But we actually started the day out at the beach. So at 730 in the morning, we went down to the beach, where I usually surf, but it was a little windy and the surf wasn't very good this morning. So we took our snorkels and our math and our fins, and we snorkeled all around the place where I normally surf. And there's some pretty big rocks there. And it was the coolest thing ever to see like what was below the surface. So you know, when I'm paddling on my surfboard out to the surf, I go around the rocks and really careful. And I kind of, you know, never seen underneath. So I got to see underneath, I got to see so many beautiful fish. It was kind of murky. But when we got out of ways it cleared up some and just oh my gosh to see like was incredible. It was just absolutely beautiful. So we spent about 40 minutes just like meandering around and I could feel like the tension in my body just sort of started to go away. And I was watching a fish go back and forth as the as the swell came and went. And it was so peaceful and calming. It's like I went back and forth with the fish. Oh my gosh, it was just it was meditative. It was absolutely glorious. And then and then we got out of the water and I actually had like the sea scrub this morning and a little mini massage. And that's how I started my day and I saw clients and just amazing so I was sort of as is right I've got a little bit of massage oil still in my hair and it just feels so happy. So ah, so we just arrived here. So we have a big topic today and Our topic is really the menopausal weight gain and fatigue. And how do we get ourselves back from that? So I've been post menopause so, so menopause, right? It's one point in time. It's when your menstrual cycle pauses for good. So that is literally one specific day. And it's typically when you have not had a menstrual cycle for one year, it's interesting for me, I went into menopause at 46. So I've been in post menopause for 12 years. It's a little on the early side, it's not too early, it's still within the normal range. But, you know, when you go and the earlier you go into menopause, the more careful you have to be because, you know, you worry about bone health and brain health and skin, health and all of that. So
yeah, it's better not to go in as early as I did. But you know, if you know my history at all, you know, I'm a little bit of a stress case. I'm a, I'm a doer. And so I was way overdoing, right. And so my body responded by stopping my period, I just didn't have enough resources to keep a menstrual cycle going. And so it's been 12 years that I've been post menopause, and my period just stopped. So I was regular, regular regular, regular stopped, never had another one. That's not the case for most of us. For most of us, our period, starts changing, it comes farther and farther apart. Or it gets heavier and closer together, like all sorts of weird things happen. So I feel blessed that mine just stopped and that was it. But then I had to start worrying about things. You know, vaginal dryness, skin dryness, right. Moods become more of an issue, weight gain becomes more of an issue, all these things start becoming an issue. And maybe they weren't before. And I know that, you know, many of you expressed that that's what you're experiencing. And so let's dive, you know, as deep as we can, and the time that we have together today, while we're about 30 minutes to talk about this. And we're going to start by taking a menopause quiz. So I want you to keep track of how many yeses you have. And I want you to know that I am going to send you today. At the end of our, at the end of our time together, I'm going to Rebecca is going to share the link to my break free from menopause training. So it's a free training. You just opt in for a bit give us your name and your email address, which primarily have but but you opt in and then you get three videos. And they're very, they're very targeted. So one is on adrenal health. One is on thyroid health. One is on vaginal health. And you will also get this quiz there. We're going to take it right now. So you can sort of see where you are. post menopause. So you ready? Okay, you're counting the number of the acids. So the first the first. The first one is no menstrual cycle for a year. Yes or no? vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, chills, sleep problems, irritability or mood changes in tolerance for the way things still are. Water retention, weight gain around the middle, painful sex, urinary incontinence, thinning hair, dry skin, loss of breast fullness, fuzzy thinking, dizziness, headaches, loss of sex drive, decreased sexual response, decreased sense of well being energy and ambition. That's one decreased sense of well being energy and ambition. So you just don't have as much motivation or drive anymore. Loss of or thinning pubic hair increased susceptibility to vaginal infections and urinary tract infections. So total up your number of yeses. You can post it right here in the comments if you want to. You're in the company of very loving women and you know this is a completely safe space. We have basically zero tolerance. We have a one strike policy and if you break or rules you're out because it's, it's a confidential, sacred place in our Facebook group. So I want to make sure that you feel very safe here. So post your score, and and just know that this is your starting point. So really, if you have more than a couple of these, it's a big deal for you. Because each one of them is a big deal. Right? Water retention, big deal. Urinary incontinence, big deal. That gentle dryness. Big deal, right? Gaining weight around the middle, that's a big deal. Decreased sense of well being, oh my gosh, that's a really big deal. So. So really, there is no, there's no one thing that's not a big deal. They're all a big deal. And anytime our body is talking to us like this, so I know. I know many women suffer with urinary incontinence. It just doesn't have to be you don't have to have that. So we don't tolerate the phrase in here, you're just getting older. Okay? That's a no no. If anybody ever tells you that your doctor or your family or friends say how No. No, you can get older not happening for me. And yes, of course, we're gonna get you know, it's a wrinkles and looser skin and all of that. But it's somewhat of a choice as to how well we age or not, or else a really big choice. So I you know, I've interviewed over 200 of the, you know, the world's leading minds on functional medicine, basically, alternative health care and functional medicine. So, oh, my gosh, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Daniel Amon, Dr. Steven MAVLI, Dr. Annika, Becca. The list is endless octopus head from a show die. I mean, a lot of them. And I remember I was interviewing Dr. Steven Massey. And I said, we were talking about insulin resistance, because that's insulin resistance causes so many problems for us. And so I said, you know, we just naturally get more insulin resistant, insulin resistant as we age, which means that we're gonna pack on more weight around the middle, we're gonna get more tired by all the things that you know, come with, post menopause. And he said, If we choose to. And I said, you're right, it's if we choose to. So here are a few things that happen as we age. Basically, our metabolism, which is the energy in our body to for all of the processes that happens, decreases, it's just the way it is. It just decreases over the years, our metabolism decreases. So, you know, when you think about somebody who's close to death, or who's dying or who has died, it's that it's that inner essence, right? It's it's their inner energy, that it's their inner light that is dimming our inner light just dims. And so if we pay attention to this, we can keep our inner light strong, we can keep that flicker more of a flame, we can keep it a lot stronger. So I've had debilitating fatigue. I've suffered from debilitating fatigue, I suffered from weight gain, pretty much my whole life. It's been it's been a constant, you know, pay attention. I mean, for decades, every January would come around and I try harder, I diet more. Right, I thought I didn't have enough willpower and it was my fault. So it doesn't really have to do with so much with post menopause as it has to do with our metabolism. So my metabolism was a wreck when I was in my 20s and 30s. Wasn't until in my 40s when I figured all this out that I started to fix it. And it started I started to have really great energy on a regular basis. My moods were so much better on a regular basis. I don't get irritable, ever anymore. And if I do it's because I haven't taken care of myself. Like I totally know why it happened. It's not because my hot sexy lover, aka my husband. did something wrong? It's because I was just out of balance. And so no matter what your age, whether you're postmenopausal or pre menopausal, this can happen at any time. It just tends to happen more frequently. And with more regularity, it's more common post menopause. So it's almost as though I mean, for some of us, I, I've heard some, some women who I've talked to say, it just happened. I hit 50. And everything went downhill, right? And, and it's almost like saying, or it's a very similar thing to saying,
I just got diabetes. I just want you to let that sink in for a minute. I just got diabetes. I just got tired and fat, right, the same thing. So what's a little bit interesting about those statements is that it takes years, it takes years to cultivate diabetes, 20 years, it takes the same amount of time to cultivate tired and fat. Like you've been working on this for years. So if you're like me, you know, and maybe for you, it's a little bit different. I don't know. You've been busy, right? Life has been busy, you've been working, maybe you've been raising a family, you've been caring for everyone else. And now it's your turn. But you're tired, and you're heavy, you're feeling very heavy, like your body is just heavy. And you're not feeling very motivated, potentially, because because you're tired. Literally, your cells are tired. But you've been building up to this, you've been working. If you're, if it's like my story, you've been working really hard. I'm burning out your adrenal glands, those little walnut sized glands that sit on top of your kidneys, and our little energy powerhouses, you've been working for years on exhausting them. With so much stress, so much doing so much giving right and not replacing enough. Same thing with your thyroid, like you've been working really hard on shutting your thyroid down, which is responsible for your metabolism. Because you've been pushing too hard, you haven't been taking care of yourself enough, you haven't been getting enough enough rest or eating the right foods or caring for yourself enough. And so your metabolism is shutting down. So my point is it's taken years. Can anyone relate to this? Yeah, you can do a hard or you can do a thumbs up or? Yeah, if you can relate to this, say I can relate to this. It's taken years. So you know, I had a lot of what I call hormone deal breakers going on for me. So they're the, they're the root causes, of my weight gain of my acne of my fatigue of my horrible digestive problems. The root causes of my receding gums are the root causes of my constant irritability and grumpiness, the root cause of my, like horrible PMS when I was younger, and so I had to start figuring out what those root causes were so I could plug the holes and heal. And that's what we have to do post menopause. We have to figure out those root causes. Those hormone deal breakers, those things that are totally messing with your body and metabolism. We have to fix them if you want to heal so you may feel right now, like a hibernating bear, right? You're not motivated, you're feeling very heavy. You're exhausted. And the hibernating bear is a great a net analogy. Because when a bear hibernates this picture of bear sleeping right it's all curled up and it's in a cave and it's sleeping. And it does that because it doesn't have access to many resources during the winter. So resources like food and sunlight and easily accessible water And it doesn't have an easy access to any of these things. So it hibernates. And what that means is that it's thyroid slash metabolism comes down to the slowest, it can just keep the bear alive. Because it doesn't want to use up too much energy while the bear is hibernating so that it can make it through to spring. So the whole bears metabolism slows down to the lowest point it can. So that's not using very many protein or very much protein, very much fat, very much carbohydrates, no vitamins, minerals, right? So it doesn't need sunlight, water, any of that. So the hibernating bear body, its body is just barely functioning to make it to spray. Be curious as to how many bears die during hibernation. But anyway. So when we get post menopause, if we haven't paid enough attention over the years, our body can feel like the hibernating bear. And it is a hibernating bear because it doesn't have enough resources, or over the years, we haven't given it enough resources. So your metabolism is super sluggish. Are you following me your metabolism is super sluggish. Whenever you start packing weight around the middle, you're also going to get tired, because what's happening is that you've become more insulin resistant. And what that means is that your body is not efficiently getting blood sugar from your bloodstream or sugar from your bloodstream into your cells to burn for fuel. It can't get it in there anymore, because your insulin is the key that unlocks the cell to get sugar in. And if we're tired and fat, we're more insulin resistant our cells are not are not are not letting insulin in basically, is when it's not able to unlock the cells anymore. So what happens is, your body has this mechanism where your blood sugar can only get too high and then it with the sugar out of your bloodstream and stores it as fat. So that your blood sugar stays within this really tight range. Because you know, we can't risk having your brain damaged by really high blood sugar. So you're constantly storing fat and you're constantly tired, because you can't burn sugar for fuel. So that's what happens. So that's why you're feeling like the hybrid a bear. And then, you know, our adrenals are really tired. So you're not making enough cortisol anymore. I think I was in my 30s when I just completely burned out like, my blood pressure was so low, my pulse was so low, my adrenals were so burned out, I was like, kind of a walking zombie, I was so tired. I was so tired all the time. And it didn't matter what I did, I couldn't I couldn't get my energy back. So you know, I had to go back to school, I had to, you know, mentor with some pretty amazing people to figure my stuff out so I can pull myself out of it. So so I kind of outlined some of the things that you might be experiencing, right, we did the we did the assessment. So I just want to make sure that that you get that it's a sluggish metabolism. It's insulin resistant. Resistance potentially, it's a toxin overload. Like, it's wonderful because in this group we have under files, you can go grab the handout, that's called the top 10 things that throw off your hormone balance. And those are the hormone deal breakers, my top 10. And so you can kind of look at those to see where do I need to be focusing to help get me back? Right, where do I need to be focusing to get me back. And so take a look at that, download it print it out. Take a look at that. I'm gonna talk a little bit about some of those things today. And you really started to have to start plugging the holes. And what I want you to know is that there are a couple of really cool things I want to share. One is as men age, they become more like women because the you know, the amount of estrogen estrogen in their bodies goes up in relation to testosterone. And as women age they become more like men. We just don't care as much so One of the problems with that, so there's a problem, there's like this incredible benefit. The problem is we're in this giving more than we have pattern. So we've learned this over a lot of years, at least 50 years, right? We've learned to give more than we put back in. So we're always giving what we don't have basically, energy and time and, and we're holding space for people and, and, you know, lifting them up, and we haven't lifted ourselves up enough. So we've had years of, of, you know, habits that really haven't served us and now that we're post menopause, we have to look those habits straight in the eye and ship them.
So the really amazing benefit of women becoming more like men, because we have less estrogens are that estrogen, that is the you know, nurturing hormone that keeps us kind of stuck and taking care of others. Now that we have less so that we can step into who we truly are. So I mean, you look at you look at some of these crazy amazing women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, right. And Nancy Pelosi, and even the comedian, I think Phyllis Diller didn't even start her career until she was like 50, or 60 years old, like this is when you can figure out who you really are. Without the guise of estrogen, you know, blocking your greatness. And you can do it like you can fulfill your dreams, right. Jane Fonda Oh, my gosh, all these incredible women who really have tapped into themselves, post menopause. So let's shake off for a minute, all the junk that you feel that's coming with post menopause, the vaginal dryness, the painful sex, the weight gain, the fatigue, we're just gonna let that all go. Let it go. letting it all go. Yeah, we're gonna let that go. And we're going to instead tell ourselves, it's our time. It's our time. It's our time to say no. and have it be a complete sentence. It's our time to say how Yes, to things that really nourish us. I just bought a flute. I used to play flute when I was in junior high. I was in the band, the orchestra. And I stopped playing, I also played the guitar and sang. And I just really had this desire to get back into playing the flute. I had no idea if I would remember how to play any notes, I didn't care. I decided that if I'm playing music, I am really nourishing myself. So I got a flute, I literally just received it about a month ago. And I started playing it. I also bought a beginner flute book, right because I had to start somewhere. And I remembered how to finger. So many of the notes. I could make a beautiful sound when I blew in there is like was like riding a bike. Like it just started coming back so fast. And it just felt so good. And that's how I want you to feel about where you are right now. I want it to feel so good. So the first thing I want you to do, I'm going to start giving you those five steps is to really take an assessment. Take an assessment of what you're doing on a regular basis and decide if that's something that you really want to keep doing. And if not, figure out how to get it off your to do list. Okay? Promise me you're gonna do that. There's some things that we might have to shift instead of take off completely. So if something isn't really serving you, but you still have to do it. Maybe it's like take care of a parent or a child or something like that. Shift how you're doing it so that it's much more pleasurable. Okay. So you're going to take an assessment of what you're doing right now and because sometimes, it's that we just hate our lives. Like, we hate what we've created, and that's sucking the life out of us. Is that true for you. So take an assessment, take an inventory and start getting rid of things that aren't serving you. Be ruthless. This is your time. Be ruthless. This is your time. And then and then I want you to make a list of things that you really want for yourself. What are the things that you want to do or how or how do you want to feel? Right, you want to, you want to make a list of what you want for yourself so that you can think about it every day. Because it's what we think about that we get more on. So if you're constantly thinking about your fat around the middle, if you're constantly thinking about how tired you are, if you're constantly thinking about how you don't have enough, or that you have to go do this, again, can you feel how heavy that is, and you're gonna get more of it, you're gonna get more fat around your middle, because you're thinking about it all the time, you're gonna get more tired, because you're thinking about how tired you are, all the time, you're gonna think about, you know, all the icky things that you have to do. And you're gonna get more of it, because you're thinking about it all the time. So you want to create what you want for yourself, so could be a vision board, that's fine. It could just be that you write these things down, and you start looking at that list every day of what you want for yourself, that alone is going to start to bring your energy up, and those things are going to start to happen. It's really crazy how that works. So that's the first thing, you're gonna start, you're going to start, you're gonna take inventory. That's number one. And then you're gonna write down what you want for yourself, so that you can start to vision it. Okay, the second thing is you're going to eat more. So I have this, you know, talk that I do, and many of you heard it, eat more exercise less. Because we've gotten into the habit of when we gain weight, we stop eating, basically, which really messes with our hormones even more. The problem is we were eating the wrong things at the wrong time. So we've got it, we've got to ship that we have to eat more of the right foods, and we have to eat for hormone balance, we have to eat for hormone balance. And when we do that, it just shifts everything, it helps us with our sleep. It helps us with our energy throughout the day. I mean, I've found some days that I'm just kind of tired. And I think back to what I ate, I'm like, I need to eat now. And I go and I eat, and my energy comes right back. So I just wasn't paying attention to when I was supposed to eat. Or maybe I didn't eat enough for one meal, or I skipped a meal for some reason. And that will set off my hormone imbalance basically for the rest of the day. So really take a close look at what you're eating and when you're eating can make all the difference. So that's number two. The third one is we have to start exercising for hormone balance, right, we have to start moving our bodies in a way that supports better hormone production, insulin sensitivity. So I can give you a quick tip, just walking for 15 minutes after each meal will improve insulin sensitivity, which means that you can lose weight and improve your energy just by walking for 15 minutes after each meal. So you know I had this thing where I would over exercise and under eat right, you've heard this. And so we have to stop doing that. So we want to start exercising for hormone balance. So that's number three. And and stop overdoing it because we got to this place because we stretched our body out for too long. And so we didn't make enough of our sex hormones. We didn't make enough progesterone, We wore our adrenals out so we don't even have enough cortisol for enough energy. So we have to ship that. And just by these small tiny things over time, if you're consistent with them, it will huge incredible results. So in our natural hormone Solution Program, I teach all about this so you can learn about you know, what does it mean to eat for hormone balance? What does it mean to move for hunting gallons we have modules on all. The fourth one is you have to test. You can't guess right? Test don't guess. And that's because you've got to Know where your fasting insulin is, you have to know where your ferritin levels are that your stored iron, because too little iron, that's a hormone deal breaker. Right? If you don't have enough B 12, that's a hormone deal breaker, you can't possibly have a healthy metabolism. Without enough, B 12. You actually want all the B vitamins, right? So you've got to tap to figure these things out. And you need to work with a practitioner who knows how to read bloodwork for supporting systems not for disease, we don't really care about disease, we care about feeling fabulous, right? Yes. So you want to compare your numbers to optimal reference ranges, you always want to be moving from where you are right now, to feeling fabulous. And that means continually working towards getting your numbers more optimal. So in the natural hormone Solution Program, we actually have a list of the bloodwork we actually have a spreadsheet where you can print it out, and you can put in your your numbers from your bloodwork, and you can see what bloodwork you're missing. And you can also see how far away you are from optimal and then you can fix it. So we have a module on test, don't guess, right? How to really become the CEO of your own health, because we have to take charge, you're in charge of your health. Nobody else is going to do this for you, you know your body better than anyone else, and you're gonna be able to fix it, you just have to have the right information and the right support. And that's why you know, I always say you've got to be in a program. If you're not in a program, you're always going to be putting out fires with your health. Does that make sense? If you're not in a program, going from where you are right now to optimal health, feeling fabulous, you're always going to be seeking help when you feel like crap. And you'll never get there doing that. You have to keep, you have to keep focused all the time on doing one thing. And another thing another thing consistently so that you can feel better just takes consistency. All right, so we've talked about we've talked about sort of setting your intentions, we've talked about eating more of the right foods, and basically the pro hormone balance, we've talked about exercising for him and balance, we're talking about testing, instead of guessing.
