  • Resumen

  • There are unexpected health issues post-menopause. In this latest episode of Navigating Nourishment, we speak candidly about our personal experiences with menopause. We acknowledge the lack of education our doctors are given in medical school and the lack of research on women’s health that has lead to the chaos women feel during this prominent time of life. As you know, hormone levels rapidly fluctuate, but you might not know that makes bloodwork almost useless. We emphasize the unique challenges of each individual’s experience and stress the importance of communication and understanding among women going through menopause. As always, we advocate for dialing in to our Five Foundations of Health. TRANSCRIPT (edited for readability) Debbie 00:15 It's about our take on what we know about the health and wellness industry and what, how to sort through it all. Because it's not only is it confusing, but it's misleading. And we want to help people out trying to understand what's going on with their health. Wendy 00:32 We need to be more of an advocate for ourselves, we often give away the decision power to other people. And so we're here to coach people along and help them really take care of themselves. We're the person who knows our body best, right? Our doctors and our coaches and our chiropractors and acupuncturists don't know us better than we know ourselves. But they can help. As long as we're really good communicators. Debbie 01:01 That's right. And that's how we help people out exactly. Wendy 01:03 Specifically for this podcast, we want to make sure everyone knows we're not doctors, we don't diagnose, treat or cure, we are here to have a conversation with people about their health. Debbie 01:17 And a lot of it is our own interest in it because of what's going on with our own health and our clients health. So we come to you with real anecdotal stuff. But again, we're not. We're not doctors. So whatever information we have, we want you to be curious about and to check it out on your own as well. So you came in this morning, Wendy, not feeling so great. And this isn't the first time in the last few weeks. It's been a couple of times, at least Wendy 01:47 I had a really bad migraine and now I've got a migraine hangover. I got off the phone with a client and bam, it hit me out of the blue. No warning. And it was a tough sleep for me last night. And it's still kind of lingering. I'm asking myself, Why is this happening again? Debbie 02:13 I've been saying that all the time that I have a whole list of odd little things that have been happening, having to do with my hands hurting, having trigger finger, having higher cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, weird things. Considering all the practices that I do in my life – I’m fit, I eat really nourishing foods. I have low stress. I'm doing all the things that I can do to support my health. And you wouldn't know it by what's going on in my body right now. Wendy 02:48 Similar here - my heart rate is sky high when I run, which is really disconcerting – but only sometimes. And I've got these cramps that are just like, out of the blue. I'll just be sitting there or I'll be walking and I'll get this random cramp. And it's just, it's unusual. Debbie 03:09 It is very disconcerting. And it's frustrating. You know what, nobody told us!!! Nobody told us that this is so normal for being postmenopausal. Wendy 03:24 Post menopause is a big subject and we've been diving into different research, reading new books and trying to get to know ourselves a little bit better. Trying to understand where the brain fog and frustration is coming from and just not completely feeling like ourselves. Debbie 03:48 Exactly. There is a lack of menopause training in medical school, for sure. And there's a lack of research done on menopause. I mean, the numbers are insane.
