Nika In The Hot Seat: On Perimenopause, Cycle Syncing, Hormones and More

Inspired with Nika Lawrie

Join us as Michelle Blais steps in to interview me about how understanding the distinct phases of your menstrual cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—can transform your daily routine. Learn how tracking your hormonal fluctuations can help you schedule high-energy tasks and well-deserved rest periods, making you more attuned to your body's natural rhythms. We also break down how to tailor your workouts and dietary choices to each phase for optimal health benefits.
Our conversation takes a deep dive into the critical role of hormone tests during menopause and perimenopause. We'll guide you through the maze of recognizing symptoms that are often masked by hormonal birth control and emphasize the importance of consulting with a physician for accurate diagnosis and management. Whether you're exploring non-hormonal birth control options like the copper IUD or looking for effective treatments to tackle hot flashes and sleep disturbances, we’ve got you covered with proactive approaches to navigate these life stages smoothly.
Finally, we examine a root cause healthcare approach, contrasting it with conventional AMA care. Discover why functional medicine prioritizes identifying underlying issues over merely treating symptoms and how personalized tests can reveal deeper health concerns. We also shed light on the complexities of choosing quality dietary supplements and stress the importance of professional guidance to avoid harmful interactions. Plus, get actionable tips for maintaining bone density as you age, including the benefits of strength training and regular exercise. Don't miss this insightful episode packed with practical advice to enhance your well-being at every stage of life!
