Yes!!!! I was determined to not gain during menopause several years back. After keeping up with exercise and having what I thought a healthy diet I wrote everything down for a couple weeks realizing I needed to make changes and swaps. After two years I’ve lost over 30 pounds on my 5”1” frame and feel awesome. I also do a 3 day a week dumbbell work out 30 minutes, nothing too strenuous from a person on RU-vid along with walking my dog most days. Drinking lots of water is key as well. One meal on the weekend my husband and I pick one fun meal like a burger, or one serving of pasta, Chinese, whatever we choose then a small ice cream cone then go right back on our healthy way of eating the rest of the week.
@@happiest_christina After looking at my meals over the years, I took out the processed stuff. We now bake or grill boneless skinless chicken breast each week, put dry rub on it. We eat veggies with it like broccoli, riced cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, green beans, or sometimes a green salad. Other times we’ll make stir fry’s with the same cooked chicken with low sodium soy sauce, delicious! We also eat chicken sausage occasionally or I’ll make a ground chicken meatloaf. I also make salmon or cod once a week, baking or grilling it, yummy! Sometimes I make brown rice and beans with salsa or a soup once a week if I have the time. It could be a bean soup, a chicken soup or any other low calorie but high fiber type soup. We eat one or two fruits day like an apple or blueberries. We also hard boil eggs ahead of time to eat as a quick snack, have plain almonds 1/4 cup portioned out as snacks, but eat the almonds sparingly. I have dark chocolate here and there because I love my chocolate! A little goes a long way and I find if I don’t have it I’ll not be a happy person, haha We also eat non fat Greek yogurt with or without fruit or sometimes with plain oatmeal with some almond milk and cinnamon. On weekends we go out and have one fun meal of our choosing. It can be Indian, a burger etc. then we pick one small dessert like one cookie at a bakery or a small cone somewhere. After that, we go back to our prepped and planned meals. Hope this helps!
Pei/Menopause can be preparation for THE BEST time of our life, if we take the right action. That does not mean it will all be smooth sailing, because it still is a vulnerable time of our life, but we have all the tools and knowledge to come out the other side THRIVING, without HRT too. At 50, I am excited about creating my best life here on. Thank you Dr Mosconi for your wonderful teachings
Since I was a Young Adult I benefited from older friends who helped me improve the food I eat. I have eaten a mainly plant based diet with healthy oily fish, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruit. I am a natural dancer and cyclist and exercised daily as well. My perimenopause/ menopause started when I was forty-four and it has lowered my quality of life with how it reduced my health. Diet is not the Cure-all for each of us. I hope to learn something I have not heard elsewhere when I listen to the full podcast. Still, Thanks for the podcast x!
@lauraescayg7516 Thank You for your compassion. I am on a high demand Contract for one more fortnight. I then will have the summer to try our HRT again and other naturopath interventions without fear of missing work. All my best to you x!
Steve!!! This is amazing content. Not well understood and definitely not talked about enough. Well done! It would be interesting to further consider the economic impacts (to businesses, families, and organizations as a whole)
Thank you Lisa Mosconi for all you do for us women! How old are you may I ask? Just curious when menopause starts for most women? And what you would share about yourself personal experience. Of course its your choice! ❤
What should women who live in areas like Greenland or Alaska, remote northern Russia, Faroe Island, Finland or Scotland to eat … places far from the Mediterranean …
A Mediterranean diet plus 2 tbs of good quality our organic olive oil is excellent at maintaining a healthy body and preventing dementia. Thank you for this excellent video.
while i understand her point that cholesterol in diet does not equal cholesterol in the brain on a biochemical level, the brain def needs saturated and polysaturated fats to function well . there are many studies on this. the keto diet was designed to help people with neurological disorders.
3-6 grams/daily Omega 3s is a lot! I don't doubt the findings of the research, but that's nearly 5 capsules of the densest fish oil supplement capsules (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega X ). that would be really expensive to keep up, even if you're just getting it from food source. I wonder if she means the size of the capsule? When I demo'ed for Nordic bk in the day, customers often confused the amount of omega-3 fatty acids found in the pill with the actual volume of the pill itself (with the binders/fillers/additional supplements and what not).... wonder if thats the case with what she said. Anybody out there know?
so why all those italian nonna's look 80 at their 60ties??? (Bellucci is the only exeption), maybethe nonna's eat too much sugar, Italian women look much older than women on the north
I live in FL, and it can be purchased at Trader Joe’s, Walgreens, and a few of the vitamin shops. It is very expensive - - $ 30 or more for 32oz depending on the brand.
Why on earth do you want to DELAY menopause???? Let it rip and get it over with! What is this obsession with making monthly bleeding last into years that you should enjoy being free of it!!!! Get over yourself!
It's not about wanting to bleed, it's about the hormonal changes after menopause that cause different organs to deteriorate and make you grow a moustache.
Confess the Lord Jesus Christ with your mouth and believe in your heart that He died for your sins on the cross and God raised Him from the dead on the third day; repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit!
