Menopause is rewriting the health rulebook, and some of the latest research may surprise you. In this episode, I’m sharing discoveries that go way beyond the usual hot flashes, like how menopause can affect joint pain and even brain health. You’ll hear why Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) could actually help reduce dementia risk by 34% and why it’s time to leave outdated myths about estrogen behind.
I’ll also cover why lab testing and regular monitoring with HRT are a must and what the latest findings say about bioidentical hormones for heart health, stronger bones, and even longevity. Plus, there's some eye-opening news from the Women’s Health Initiative that turns past warnings about HRT on their head. This conversation is all about giving you tools to work with your body as it changes.
And for those of you navigating perimenopause, I created Estro Balance Mastery as a real ally during this time. It's a carefully designed formula to help manage symptoms and find some relief—get 10% off at metabolicblueprint.com/pod10. Also, don’t miss out on my FREE E-book, Mastering the Pause, packed with insights and practical tips for making this transition smoother—download it at guide.hormoneshelp.com.

"All the women that have been told that hormones are going to give them stroke and heart attack, that's inaccurate.

"If somebody told you that we could give you this one thing and it reduced your risk for Alzheimer's and dementia over your lifetime by 34%, don't you think you would do it? So essentially, their consensus was hormone replacement therapy protects the brain, and especially if we can start it earlier, we get better protection." — Betty Murray

Women have fought hard for the rights we have today, but right now, we’re facing serious threats that could roll back years of progress. From the days of our grandmothers to today’s battles, there’s a new wave of attempts to take away basic protections like no-fault divorce—which means some women could be trapped in abusive marriages with no way out.

And with Menopause Awareness Month here, the timing feels urgent to stand together and protect what matters for ourselves, our daughters, and our granddaughters.

Together, we can form a united front, no matter our political beliefs, because protecting women’s rights is everyone’s business. It’s time to raise our voices and resist, for us and for future generations. Let’s get real about what it takes to ensure we’re not letting these rights slip away.
And for those of us dealing with perimenopause, there’s some good news on that front.

Hot flashes can catch us off guard, but understanding their roots can make a world of difference. In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really behind those sudden heat waves and some surprising risks that come with them. Learn about the real power of bioidentical hormones—like estrogen and progesterone—and how they’re not just for symptom relief but are vital for protecting your brain, heart, and bones. Plus, we’ll talk about why tweaking your diet and reducing stress can help but can’t replace the deeper hormonal support your body needs during menopause.
We’re also getting into the bigger picture—how menopause isn’t just about hot flashes but can increase your risks for things like heart disease and metabolic syndrome. We’ll talk about hormone therapy, natural herbs that might help, and some practical tips for navigating this phase. I’m even sharing why stress can make hot flashes worse and how your estrogen levels affect more than you might realize, especially when it comes to your heart health. There’s a lot here to help you feel more empowered on your menopause journey.
Oh, and before you go—let me introduce you to Estro Balance Mastery! It’s a formula I created specifically to help manage perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and night sweats. If you’re looking for some extra support, head to metabolicblueprint.com/pod10 to get 10% off your first bottle! It’s an easy way to give your body what it needs to feel more balanced.
Key Takeaways:
[06:04] Hypothalamus regulates hormones.
[09:15] Narrow thermo-regulatory zone worsens hot flashes.
[10:15] Health affects women's workforce participation.
[15:40] Hot flashes increase stroke risk.
[17:31] Insulin resistance adds abdominal fat.

[29:40] Restoring hormones and lifestyle eases symptoms.
Memorable Quotes:"Hot flashes and night sweats are not just frustrating; not just embarrassing, they actually are from the fact that your thermoregulatory control is no longer being managed by estrogen. And the more frequent you get them, the more likely you are to be at risk for stroke and heart attack and the more increased risk you have for cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, which is hardening of the arteries, and stroke risk." — Betty Murray
"We will actually help you figure out what your next best step is because at the end of the day, you shouldn't have to struggle and you shouldn't have to carry increased risk for all-cause mortality because you're a menopausal woman." — Betty Murray

You’ve probably heard a lot about omega-3 and omega-6 fats, but do you really know how they work in your body? In this episode, I’m chatting with Udo Erasmus, an expert in biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, author of "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill," and Co-founder of Udo’s Choice line, and we’re getting into why these fatty acids are game-changers for your health. Udo shares how using oils the right way can improve everything from your energy to reducing inflammation—and even boost athletic performance. We’re also clearing up some common misconceptions about plant-based proteins and omega-6 fats that you won’t want to miss.
We also get into Udo’s incredible life story, from being a WWII refugee to becoming a global leader in health and nutrition. His innovative approach to oil production and commitment to healing through nutrition has changed lives globally. Udo also shares his spiritual awakening and how it fuels his passion for helping others achieve optimal health. By the end of the episode, you’ll be ready to make simple yet powerful changes that can profoundly impact your well-being.
And hey, if you’re going through perimenopause, I’ve got something special for you. My new product, Estro Balance Mastery, is designed to help with those pesky hormone swings, brain fog, and night sweats. It’s got all the good stuff—like flaxseed extract and green tea—to help you feel like yourself again. Head over to metabolicblueprint.com/pod10 for 10% off your first bottle, and let’s get through this together!
Key Takeaways:
[05:17] Feeling unsafe inspired a lifelong quest for understanding.
[08:09] Realization: everything sought externally is internal.
[10:04] Life is in everyone; actions reflect on Christ.
[14:59] Omega 6: essential yet potentially harmful nutrient.
[16:11] Consider using organically grown seeds, and minimize pesticides.
[20:31] Developed system to protect oil from contaminants.
[25:27] Balance omega-3 intake; excessive consumption impairs health.
[28:26] In vitro studies differ from human trials.
[34:32] Health benefits from a plant-based, organic, fresh diet.
[35:56] Seeds contain comparable or higher protein than meat.
Memorable Quotes:
"I developed a blend that is properly balanced so you cannot get hurt because I'm trying to help people. I don't want to make something that can actually hurt them. So that's why I moved away from flaxseed, and that's why we made a blend. And in the blend, the ratio between two omega 3 and omega 6 is perfect because omega 3s have more health benefits because they're missing in so many people." — Udo Erasmus
"They have never told you that there's damage done to those oils by industry, even before you fry them and correct even more. And that the fact that they've been damaged and you get all these damaged molecules hasn't made the news. So people don't know. And the people who write these books have done half their homework. They see the research, they say there are problems. Instead of blaming the damaged molecules for the problems, they're blaming an essential nutrient that you have to have for every cell in your body." — Udo Erasmus

Memorable Quotes:
"There's probably a huge underdiagnosed population of women that are in perfectly good shape, but because of the anatomy of their airway, and it's like a smaller physique, oftentimes they have these dips of around 2%, which is technically not a hypopnea, but it's upper airway resistance. And so possible symptoms include snoring, being overweight is a factor." — Dr. Dan Gartenberg
"You're basically getting this misaligned zeitgeber, which is the nerdy sleep scientist's way of saying your environmental cues are messing with your biological cues, and that's why you're not sleeping well. So that's the picture of how technology has hurt us. But I know I'm 100% confident, and I have some data to show that we can use sound, light, and temperature to optimize every human sleep every single night." — Dr. Dan Gartenberg

There's the peripheral vision, the binocular vision, how the eyes work together, the night vision, the color vision, all these things have to work together to give you optimal vision." — Claudia Muehlenweg
"When you go on your next walk, notice when you go up, it seems like the room goes down. Obviously, you are the one moving, but it's that sensation that everything is always fluid and moving. And that might initially be when you're staring, when you're used to that strain with the glasses that might feel very unsettling. But the more you can relax into that, the better your vision will get." — Claudia Muehlenweg

"One of the things that the research is pretty clear on is it's not just about the hormones you make. It's about how you excrete and get rid of your hormones because we also have environmental chemicals that mimic hormones in the body. So they basically come in and disrupt your own hormones. So we've got a lot of hormone activity that may or may not be ours. And depending on how we're wired genetically, we might be good at clearing those things out, or we may not be as good." – Betty Murray
"I don't think everybody on the planet has to be on hormones, but I do think most women are candidates for hormones, and it's worthy of exploration if you've done everything naturally and it's still not working." – Betty Murray

"Cutting carbs and high protein doesn't always work for everybody. Same thing when we look at exercise. If we're doing high intensity and we're working out like a mad woman, we may be excessively catabolic, we may be creating higher stress chemistry, and we may actually be driving the body to try and store more fat, because we're stressing the body out." – Betty Murray

Memorable Quotes:
"I say that depression and anxiety really reside in the body. That affects the brain, right? And that could be also mania and psychosis as well. And so we spend so much time treating a head and not connecting it to the body, and I treat the body, and that then affects the brain. And so the understanding that I have is that inflammation is the driver of depression and anxiety, and we want to reduce inflammation." – Dr. Achina Stein
"If you really look at the whole body holistically, sometimes there are a couple of things that you can do that can improve systems across the board, you know? And you can do so much to have someone feel better just by changing the diet, by looking at the gut, you know, the gut-brain connection that's another theory with increased gut permeability." – Dr. Achina Stein

Memorable Quotes:
"Fasting is actually one of the most powerful ways that we can heal our bodies, and our body knows that, but our brain doesn't know that. We're trained to think that we should eat all the time and eating is what heals us. Eating is what nourishes us. But honestly, I don't think a lot of women realize it actually requires energy to eat and digest and break down food." – Dr. Tabatha Barber
"Once you hit menopause, it goes downhill a lot quicker. You know, like you said, the aging process, especially if you're not on hormone replacement therapy, the disease processes start to set in. But fasting is something that really you can utilize to slow those processes down and even reverse diabetes, reverse autoimmune conditions, because you're healing your gut, you're healing your entire body." – Dr. Tabatha Barber
