Dr. Carrie Jones returns for another insightful episode on perimenopause and menopause, focusing on hormonal shifts starting around age 35. She discusses metabolic health, the role of lifestyle changes, intermittent fasting, protein intake, strength training, and the importance of managing stress and sleep. Dr. Jones and Dr. Mindy explore how the brain begins to rely on ketones instead of glucose and advocate for a personalized approach to health amidst the information overload surrounding menopause. They also highlight the cultural shift towards better menopause education and the journey to self-authenticity and joy in post-menopausal years.
