Hey Friend,
info_outlineHey Friend,
If you are a woman over 40 and you feel like your body changed overnight, your energy is lower, your sleep is off, your weight is harder to shift, or you are being told “this is just menopause,” this episode will help you look deeper.
Dr. Elizabeth Bright, osteopath and naturopath, breaks down how cortisol, adrenal function, and thyroid health connect for midlife women. We talk about why long term undereating and chronic calorie restriction can disrupt hormones, why many women feel worse with intermittent fasting, and why salt, iodine, and nutrient dense animal foods can matter for metabolic health. Dr. Bright also shares why she believes menopause is not a disease state, how stress can impact the hormone cascade, and why so many women have been taught to fear fat.
In this episode, you will learn:
• How cortisol, thyroid, and adrenal health are connected
• Why symptoms often blamed on menopause may be related to stress hormones and underfueling
• Why the 1200 calorie mindset can backfire for women in midlife
• Why intermittent fasting can raise stress and make women feel worse
• Salt, iodine, and common signs electrolytes may be low
• High fat carnivore basics and why fat is not automatically the problem
• Why ruminant meats are often the most supportive starting point for many women
