Speaker 1: Why is it so hard to get real answers about
Speaker 1: your health? If you've been told that everything looks fine,
Speaker 1: but you know that something is off, we're not imagining it.
Speaker 1: That's why I created Vitality three sixty to help you
Speaker 1: better understand what's going on inside your body so that
Speaker 1: you can take the targeted action needed. With a functional
Speaker 1: health approach plus testing, we go beyond the guesswork to
Speaker 1: uncover the root causes of your symptoms. I've teamed up
Speaker 1: with Doctyesmina, an incredible integrative GP, and together we will
Speaker 1: help you decode your body's signals and answer questions like
Speaker 1: why am I always exhausted? What's really causing my stubborn weight?
Speaker 1: Am I inflamed? Insulin resistant? Or maybe missing key nutrients?
Speaker 1: Because when you understand your body better, you can transform
Speaker 1: your health. Visit v three sixty dot health or check

Speaker 1: with Amelia Phillips and welcome to this month's Ask Me
Speaker 1: Anything episode, where I get to answer my wonderful listener questions.
Speaker 1: I actually love hearing what's on your mind. I love
Speaker 1: knowing what you're grappling with. Maybe some wins you've been having,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's something that you're outraged by, because there's
Speaker 1: a few things out there that we can be outraged by.
Speaker 1: But look, today, I've got a range of questions, questions
Speaker 1: from whether we should be taking a multi vitamin or
Speaker 1: is that just expensive? Week? To troubleshooting some creatine side effects.
Speaker 1: And we've also got a listener wondering how to work
Speaker 1: out what stage of perimenopause she's in, because there are
Speaker 1: multiple stages in perimenopause. So before I dive into those questions,
Speaker 1: I thought I just might tell you about something I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit excited about. I think I might have
Speaker 1: mentioned in a previous episode that I have been working
Speaker 1: very hard on a really exciting, brand new program. So
Speaker 1: this program, it's short, it's targeted, and it's just gone
Speaker 1: live like literally yesterday. It's called the four teen Day
Speaker 1: Vitality Reset, and it's honestly something that I actually do
Speaker 1: myself a couple of times per year anyway, when I've
Speaker 1: kind of let my healthy habit slide a little bit,
Speaker 1: so often I'll do it towards the end of winter
Speaker 1: and then again after the summer holidays when i've been
Speaker 1: away in January. So I've really designed this for those
Speaker 1: who are wanting to shift a few kilos, but of
Speaker 1: course in the healthiest way possible. It's also perfect for
Speaker 1: those who are trying to build muscle whilst stripping fat
Speaker 1: at the same time, which I guess is also me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I pretty much designed this for myself, let's
Speaker 1: face it. But of course it's relevant to everyone, so yes,
Speaker 1: I guess it is really perfect if you are looking
Speaker 1: for that short, sharp reset. So here's how it works.
Speaker 1: I'll put the link in the show notes, but you
Speaker 1: go to the link and you can read all about it,
Speaker 1: and then you sign up to it. And once you've
Speaker 1: signed up to it, you then get to choose your
Speaker 1: start date. So you can choose any Monday in the
Speaker 1: future that you want to start it. So you might
Speaker 1: not be ready to start it next week. You might
Speaker 1: want to start it a few weeks ahead, and that's
Speaker 1: totally fine, but it has to be on a Monday
Speaker 1: when you start, so that my meal plan aligns with
Speaker 1: the weeks and the weekends. You then get a complete
Speaker 1: fourteen day meal plan with the overview, with your recipes
Speaker 1: with a shopping list, Plus you get an exercise plan
Speaker 1: as well, and it's an exercise plan that really focuses
Speaker 1: on strength training but also still has the cardio and
Speaker 1: the VO two max in there as well. Plus once
Speaker 1: you start the fourteen days, you get an email every
Speaker 1: day from me which is full of inspiration, daily instructions,
Speaker 1: plus other lifestyle leavers you can be pulling around stress management, sleep,
Speaker 1: emotional health, and of course over the fourteen days, you
Speaker 1: have twenty four to seven access to me, to Doctyasmina,
Speaker 1: and to our team of naturopaths and dietitians, so you
Speaker 1: can email us anytime with questions about your plan or
Speaker 1: just questions about your health in general. You also get
Speaker 1: to do especially designed online vitality assessment that doctor Yasmina
Speaker 1: and I designed ourselves, and we created this so that
Speaker 1: you can get a vitality score, which is an overall score,
Speaker 1: but then you get a report outlining specific scores for
Speaker 1: each of the four key health pillars. So in our
Speaker 1: programs we have these four key health pillars of metabolic health,
Speaker 1: gut health, hormone health, and inflammation, so you get literally
Speaker 1: a score for each of those to see which ones
Speaker 1: maybe need the most attention. And this actually then informs
Speaker 1: which meal plan we send you. So, for example, if
Speaker 1: you score porous in inflammation in your vitality score, then
Speaker 1: we're going to be sending you a meal plan that
Speaker 1: really focuses on lowering inflammation. So let me touch on
Speaker 1: the meal plans as well. So I personally developed these
Speaker 1: and I painstakingly designed them to reach the holy grail
Speaker 1: of over one hundred grams of protein per day. Yet
Speaker 1: they still remain in a modest caloric deficit. So that's
Speaker 1: how you're going to protect that muscle but also be
Speaker 1: stripping fat. So in addition to this lovely macro balance,
Speaker 1: we also then your meal plans. Every single day, you
Speaker 1: are getting to that magic twenty five grams of fiber level.
Speaker 1: You are getting to that magic between one thoy to
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred milligrams of calcium per day, so that's amazing
Speaker 1: and super important for bone health. You're getting eighteen milligrams
Speaker 1: of iron per day, so that's for those of you
Speaker 1: that struggle with iron. That's the RDI for iron. Plus
Speaker 1: you're getting that one hundred grams of protein per day
Speaker 1: as well, So it's a really great template. It's basically
Speaker 1: the perfect midlife template for a woman, so you can
Speaker 1: get a sense of, oh, this is what a balanced
Speaker 1: meal plan looks like, and then you can use that
Speaker 1: template going forward after the fourteen days. The meal plans
Speaker 1: as well are practical. You know, they've got lots of
Speaker 1: repeat breakfasts so you're not having to gourmet cook the lunches,
Speaker 1: same thing, lots of leftovers and no cooking required for lunches,
Speaker 1: plus lots of delicious snack options as well. On top
Speaker 1: of that, we also have a supplement stack recommendation based
Speaker 1: on those Vitality Score results and included in your supplement
Speaker 1: stack at the brands that we recommend the dosages. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's optional if you want to take them. You don't
Speaker 1: have to, but it's there for you. So it really
Speaker 1: is that fourteen day perfect reset time. I love fourteen
Speaker 1: days because it's short enough to be super manageable and achievable.
Speaker 1: Anyone can do anything for fourteen days, but it's actually
Speaker 1: long enough that you can really start to feel the
Speaker 1: benefits and get a level of confidence that it's working
Speaker 1: and that you've had that reset so you're feeling motivated.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I just thought i'd let you know about
Speaker 1: the Vitality Reset I'd love for you to check it out.
Speaker 1: I'll pop the link in the show notes and you
Speaker 1: can do a little bit more digging around and hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll get you on there. In other exciting news, I'm
Speaker 1: also excited to announce it I'm going to be speaking
Speaker 1: at the Prevention Magazines World Menopause Day Lunch in Sydney
Speaker 1: on Setday, the seventeenth of October. It's at the Softo Tel.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the most divine lunch. Tickets have
Speaker 1: just been released and I would love to see you there.
Speaker 1: Come alone, bring a friend, doesn't matter. Everyone's welcome and
Speaker 1: it's going to be an amazing day with beautiful energy
Speaker 1: in the room. It's an awesome lineup of incredible menopause experts,
Speaker 1: many I've actually interviewed here on this podcast, such as
Speaker 1: neuroscientist doctor Sarah Mackay, doctor Ginny Mansberg as well. Actually
Speaker 1: believe the Greek goddess Effie might even be making a
Speaker 1: special appearance on the day. I can't imagine what she's
Speaker 1: going to say about menopause. I'm sure it will be hilarious. Anyway.
Speaker 1: I will pop that link to this Menopause Lunch in
Speaker 1: the show notes. I'd love to see you there and
Speaker 1: come and chat to me. All Right, enough about my
Speaker 1: news for the month, Let's get on to some of
Speaker 1: our great questions. Kicking off with Ann Harrison, who sent
Speaker 1: me a DM over Instagram. Should everyone take a good
Speaker 1: multi vitamin? This is a very controversial question, and there
Speaker 1: are experts that I highly respect that are really divided
Speaker 1: on this. Doctor Norman Swan, He's like, absolutely not, They're
Speaker 1: just expensive WII. But then you've got, you know, the
Speaker 1: incredible Ronda Fitzpatrick who is a real fan of them.
Speaker 1: So it definitely is a jury is out answer, But
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you my take on it, and
Speaker 1: I have to say I have vacillated a little bit
Speaker 1: over the years as well. I used to be quite
Speaker 1: against a multi vitamin. I used to kind of sit
Speaker 1: with doctor Norman and think, you know, it's just expensive.
Speaker 1: We often the formulations in there, they're not reaching those
Speaker 1: therapeutic doses. So I didn't really support it. And I
Speaker 1: was much more of a fan of targeted supplements, so
Speaker 1: testing and seeing what you're deficient or insufficient in, and
Speaker 1: so I didn't really support this idea that everyone needs
Speaker 1: a multi vitamin. You know, because of an insurance policy
Speaker 1: for you know, just getting those nutrient levels. But I
Speaker 1: must say I have become increasingly interested in this topic
Speaker 1: since I've been following the results of a trial. It's
Speaker 1: called the Cosmos trial, and it is kind of challenging
Speaker 1: my thinking. So this Cosmos trial, a really important study
Speaker 1: found that taking a daily multivitamin was associated with slower
Speaker 1: cognitive aging in older adults, or a good thing, slowing
Speaker 1: down aging in older adults. An even epigenetic researcher, doctor
Speaker 1: Stephen Horvath, has a new analysis suggesting that when combined
Speaker 1: with regular exercise and AMEGA three supplementation, a multivitamin even
Speaker 1: has a modest effect on slowing biological aging. And that's
Speaker 1: really interesting. In our programs, we test our members biological
Speaker 1: age and we are all quite focused on lowering that number.
Speaker 1: So that pricked my interest as well. Now, I guess ann,
Speaker 1: if you are thinking of taking a multivitamin, you want
Speaker 1: to make sure it's a high quality multivitamin that can
Speaker 1: help fill nutritional gaps, because that's kind of what they're
Speaker 1: designed to do. Even people who eat a healthy diet
Speaker 1: often don't get enough nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D iodine,
Speaker 1: vitamin K, some of the B vitamins, and so I
Speaker 1: do see a multivitamin as a way to improve that
Speaker 1: overall micronutrient intake. It's definitely not a replacement for eating well,
Speaker 1: and I want you to just be really clear that
Speaker 1: diet should always come first. The other thing to think
Speaker 1: about with a multivitamin is a quality really does matter.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't just be grabbing any chemist shop brand.
Speaker 1: I'd be choosing a well formulated multi vitamin that uses
Speaker 1: really bioavailable forms of nutrients that avoids unnecessarily high dosages.
Speaker 1: So particularly something I'd like you to look at is
Speaker 1: B six vitamin B six and have a look at
Speaker 1: the percentage RDI of the recommended daily intake. Make sure
Speaker 1: it's not too high because vitamin B six can be
Speaker 1: toxic at high levels. Personally, I still like to individualize supplementations.
Speaker 1: So although a multi might provide a good found I
Speaker 1: also believe that targeting specific nutrients based on testing and
Speaker 1: on your individual needs, based on your blood work testing
Speaker 1: is really really important. In particular vitamin D amiga three.
Speaker 1: I took about amiga three index testing on here. Magnesium creatine.
Speaker 1: You can't test for unfortunately, but iron as well, and
Speaker 1: then trace minerals like iodine, zinc, copper. We can test
Speaker 1: all of those now, so it really isn't a slam
Speaker 1: dunk whether you should be taking a MULTI. The other
Speaker 1: thing to consider is that these positive effects happen over
Speaker 1: a really long period of time, So over this Cosmos trial,
Speaker 1: it's not like you just take them for a month
Speaker 1: and then it has this great effect on longevity and
Speaker 1: biological aging. It's something that you really need to be
Speaker 1: taked consistently, So that's something that you've got to decide
Speaker 1: if you're willing to do that. But this research is
Speaker 1: showing that people that are taking them consistently for a
Speaker 1: long period of time it is having this benefit later
Speaker 1: on in life. So you might be taking a supplement
Speaker 1: or a multi now, but you're probably going to be
Speaker 1: really noticing the benefits once you're in that older stage
Speaker 1: of life. So I'm sorry, I don't have a clear,
Speaker 1: definitive answer for you. I personally am not taking one.
Speaker 1: I just focus on my targeted supplementation. But you know,
Speaker 1: and if you maybe think that your diet isn't super healthy,
Speaker 1: or maybe you might be on a GLP one for example,
Speaker 1: have a very low caloric intake, so you're just not
Speaker 1: getting enough nutrients, then absolutely go for it. So sorry,
Speaker 1: not all answers are definitive yes or no, but watch
Speaker 1: this space. I'll actually put a link in the show
Speaker 1: notes for a really interesting episode of another podcast called
Speaker 1: Found My Fitness by doctor Rohnda Fitzpatrick. She dives into
Speaker 1: this in great detail. It's a really interesting episode on
Speaker 1: biological aging as well. It's quite long, so I'll pop
Speaker 1: some time stamps in case you want to just fast
Speaker 1: forward straight to the multivitamin. But she goes into that
Speaker 1: Cosmos trial in a lot of detail. Why is it
Speaker 1: so hard to get real answers about your health? If
Speaker 1: you've been told that everything looks fine, but you know
Speaker 1: that something is off, you're not imagining it. That's why
Speaker 1: I created Vitality three point sixty to help you better
Speaker 1: understand what's going on inside your body so that you
Speaker 1: can take the targeted action needed. With a functional health
Speaker 1: approach plus testing, we go beyond the guesswork to uncover
Speaker 1: the root causes of your symptoms. I've teamed up with
Speaker 1: doctor Esmina, an incredible integrative GP and together we will
Speaker 1: help you decode your body's signals and answer questions like
Speaker 1: why am I always exhausted? What's really causing my stubborn weight?
Speaker 1: Am I inflamed? Insulin resistant? Or maybe missing key nutrients?
Speaker 1: Because when you understand your body better, you can transform
Speaker 1: your health. Visit VS three sixty dot health or check
Speaker 1: out the show notes for more. Okay, next question, Lisa Gleeson. Hi, Lisa,
Speaker 1: She's got a question about creatine. She said, it makes
Speaker 1: me bloated and uncomfortable, even if I take small doses.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. We don't get that many people
Speaker 1: that have gastro intestinal issues with creatine, but we do
Speaker 1: get a couple. So I'm just going to run through. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I don't know your background, Lisa, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have any medical conditions or any gut issues, but
Speaker 1: let me just run through a few tips and maybe
Speaker 1: you can apply some of these and see if it helps. So, firstly,
Speaker 1: trying a smaller dose, and I know you did say
Speaker 1: you'd tried a smaller dose, but even just three grams,
Speaker 1: so just getting you know, that's kind of like a
Speaker 1: half a tea spoon. I know it doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: a lot, but just getting your gut used to it.
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do is you can split
Speaker 1: the dose, so instead of taking it all at once,
Speaker 1: you might take a quarter of a teaspoon in the
Speaker 1: morning and quarter of a teaspoon in the evening, and
Speaker 1: then slowly build that up. Give that a try. Taking
Speaker 1: it at the end of a meal give that a
Speaker 1: try as well, because when your tummy is full of
Speaker 1: food and it's taking a lot longer to digest, then
Speaker 1: it's just hitting your system a lot more gently and slowly.
Speaker 1: So having creatine with food rather than on an empty stomach,
Speaker 1: see if that helps to reduce any digestive upsets. Also
Speaker 1: check the type you're using, so creatine monohydrate is the
Speaker 1: type that has the strongest evidence, but you might want
Speaker 1: to choose a high quality micronized version that can improve
Speaker 1: how well it mixes and it might be easier to tolerate.
Speaker 1: So look for something that says micronized and see if
Speaker 1: that might help mix it really well. So when you
Speaker 1: have it in your glass of water, first of all,
Speaker 1: get a good half to three quarters of a glass
Speaker 1: and let it fully dissolve in the water before drinking it,
Speaker 1: rather than swallowing it gritty and I must say, I
Speaker 1: am really guilty of this. If I'm in a rush,
Speaker 1: I'll literally just like put a tiny bit of water
Speaker 1: in it and just take it down gritty. So make
Speaker 1: sure it's fully dissolved, and that just gives your digestion
Speaker 1: a little bit of a helping hand. The other thing
Speaker 1: to think about, Lisa, is not to confuse bloating with
Speaker 1: water retention, because creatine does draw water into your muscle cells,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what helps them work better. So most
Speaker 1: people might not notice visible bloating, but they might kind
Speaker 1: of feel a little bit more water logged, and you
Speaker 1: may be a little bit more sensitive than other people.
Speaker 1: So just make sure you're not confusing bloating with water retention.
Speaker 1: And then look, Lisa, if you've tried all of this
Speaker 1: and you still feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid it just may
Speaker 1: simply not be the right supplement for you. And this happens. No.
Speaker 1: Creatine has fantastic evidence behind it, but it's certainly not
Speaker 1: life saving essential, and you're going to be absolutely fine
Speaker 1: without it. You can still make great progress with strength
Speaker 1: training with adequate proteins. So now try those tips that
Speaker 1: I gave you. But you know it's not the end
Speaker 1: of the world. If you can't take your createin, pass
Speaker 1: it over, send it to me. I'll take it. I'll
Speaker 1: take it off your hands, all right, And onto our
Speaker 1: final question from Jody Saxon sent me a DM over Instagram.
Speaker 1: She said, I am loving all your perimenopause education. Oh well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jody. I am still confused as to what
Speaker 1: the stages of perimenopause are and therefore where I am
Speaker 1: at on this journey. Thank you, love your work. Look,
Speaker 1: it is very confusing, and what is in the research
Speaker 1: and what clinicians like to talk about when it comes
Speaker 1: to the stages can vary as well. You know, I've
Speaker 1: heard people talk about between three to four stages of perimenopause,
Speaker 1: whereas the clinical guidelines tend to talk more around two
Speaker 1: stages of perimenopause. So don't think that you have to
Speaker 1: follow this really clear linear map. And of course, the
Speaker 1: female body, being such a wondrous, mysterious creature that she is,
Speaker 1: we all really go on our own unique journey. Some
Speaker 1: women sail through perimenopause and menopause. They don't even get perimenopause.
Speaker 1: Their periods just stop one day, minimal symptoms and they're
Speaker 1: out the other side in postmenopause, and then you've got
Speaker 1: everything in between, all the way up to a dipolical
Speaker 1: train wreck. But look what Doctorasmina and I like to
Speaker 1: educate on is basically two stages of perimenopause, so early stage,
Speaker 1: late stage perimenopause, and then postmenopause. So I'll quickly fly
Speaker 1: you through these and you can help decide which stage
Speaker 1: you might be at. So and I guess before I
Speaker 1: dive into this. Another really helpful thing to know is
Speaker 1: that the average age of menopause in Australia is around
Speaker 1: fifty one years old, andopause lasts for anywhere from they
Speaker 1: say three to ten years. So basically, if you'll call
Speaker 1: it thirty nine to fifty, you are most likely in
Speaker 1: some stage of perimenopause. So I think that's really helpful.
Speaker 1: The second helpful tool is to talk to any female
Speaker 1: close relatives that you have, your sisters, your older sisters,
Speaker 1: your mom, your grandma, your aunties, because reaching menopause has
Speaker 1: quite a strong genetic link. So for example, my mom
Speaker 1: and my sisters all reach menopause quite late, like fifty three,
Speaker 1: fifty four, and so in my mind, I'm thinking I'm
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit later as well. So
Speaker 1: they're two helpful clues. But then looking at the stages,
Speaker 1: so we've got early stage perimenopause, which is usually that
Speaker 1: three to ten years before you reach menopause, so think
Speaker 1: of that as approximately thirty seven to forty seven years old. Now,
Speaker 1: a really good telltale sign that you are in early
Speaker 1: stage perimenopause is that your cycles are still regular, but
Speaker 1: they may have shortened a little bit. So if you're
Speaker 1: a twenty eight day girl, maybe you're a twenty six
Speaker 1: day girl. If you're a twenty six day girl, maybe
Speaker 1: you're a twenty four day girl, but you still get
Speaker 1: these nice regular cycles. Okay. The next thing in early
Speaker 1: stage perimenopause is that you might notice more PMS. So
Speaker 1: you might notice that those premenstrual symptoms are starting to
Speaker 1: ramp up a bit. You also might notice that ovulation
Speaker 1: you can feel, you really feel when you're ovulating. You're
Speaker 1: you know, suddenly you're just feeling quite randy. You're watching
Speaker 1: John Hamm on TV and you're like, Ooh, I'd never
Speaker 1: notice how handsome he was until now. You're really feeling
Speaker 1: those hormonal fluctuations kicking in quite strongly. You might start
Speaker 1: to notice heavier periods, sleep disturbances and a little bit
Speaker 1: of anxiety, irritability, night waking starting to creep in. I
Speaker 1: certainly notice it quite a bit of breast tenderness as well,
Speaker 1: and that's because we're seeing progesterone declining during this stage,
Speaker 1: testosterone fluctuating, and estrogen fluctuating as well. So there's just
Speaker 1: quite a lot of stability in this stage. So then
Speaker 1: we move on to late stage perimenopause, so this is
Speaker 1: really getting close to that menopause date. So this is
Speaker 1: that one to three years before menopause. So if you're
Speaker 1: kind of forty eight, forty nine years old or older,
Speaker 1: there's a high chance you might be in late stage perimenopause.
Speaker 1: A really big hallmark of this is where your cycle
Speaker 1: now starts to vary by more than seven days, so
Speaker 1: instead of being that lovely consistent a little bit shorter,
Speaker 1: one month, it's twenty three days, then the next month
Speaker 1: your cycle lasts for thirty days, then it drops to
Speaker 1: twenty two days, then it lasts for thirty seven days.
Speaker 1: You've seen this wider variation, you might have skipped periods altogether.
Speaker 1: You might have a double period in a month as well.
Speaker 1: Suddenly the PMS gets much worse. This is where migraines
Speaker 1: can kick in much bigger mood swings, and you get
Speaker 1: those heavy for some women, flooding periods or prolonged periods. Also,
Speaker 1: when we see a lot more hot flushes, nights sweat,
Speaker 1: NAT's because progesterone is really getting low and we've got
Speaker 1: this wildly fluctuating estrogen that is starting to also pitter
Speaker 1: right out as your eggs are running out. So that
Speaker 1: is late stage perimenopause and certainly a time when you
Speaker 1: see those symptoms really kicking in quite hard, when HRT
Speaker 1: can be super super helpful. Well, it can be at
Speaker 1: any stage, but particularly that stage. So then Jody, we
Speaker 1: get to menopause. Now, menopause is just one date in
Speaker 1: the calendar, okay, and that is menopause is defined as
Speaker 1: the first day of your last period. But sadly you're
Speaker 1: not going to know that date until it's been twelve months.
Speaker 1: So you can't actually say you've reached menopause until you've
Speaker 1: gone twelve consecutive months with no period. But once you have,
Speaker 1: if your last period was a year ago today, well
Speaker 1: then that date a year ago. Today was when you
Speaker 1: should get your menopause certificate. Hopefully it's in the mail.
Speaker 1: And so once you have reached that menopause transition, that
Speaker 1: date in the calendar, you're officially post menopause. So hopefully
Speaker 1: once you're in postmenopause, things start to settle down. You've
Speaker 1: got fewer migraines and mood symptoms, you're no longer getting
Speaker 1: those heavy periods, you're no longer getting any periods, and
Speaker 1: you are out the other side. Your hormone levels have set,
Speaker 1: your estrogen testosterone, your sex hormone levels have settled to
Speaker 1: a similar level as when you are prepubescent, so around
Speaker 1: that of a fourteen year old. And this is when
Speaker 1: your health goals should also start to shift into those
Speaker 1: really longer term health goals, so being aware of bone loss,
Speaker 1: insulin resistance, cutiovascular disease risks like cholesterol, metabolic inflexibility, heart
Speaker 1: health changes, those sorts of things in postmenopause. So, Jodie,
Speaker 1: I've just given you a lovely tour of the menopause
Speaker 1: transition from early stage to late stage PERI, to menopause,
Speaker 1: the date, and to postmenopause as well. So I hope
Speaker 1: that really helps you get a sense of where you
Speaker 1: might be on the map and then therefore how you
Speaker 1: can navigate this beautiful but turbulent storm season. All right,
Speaker 1: there we are. Thank you so much and Lisa and
Speaker 1: Jody for your great questions and keep the questions coming.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love hearing from you. My email is in
Speaker 1: the show notes. You can flick me in email, or
Speaker 1: you can DM me on Instagram. My Instagram handle is
Speaker 1: also in the show notes as well. And look, just
Speaker 1: a reminder to please follow Healthy her on your favorite
Speaker 1: podcast app and leave a rating or a comment. You
Speaker 1: can now leave comments on Spotify and questions and I
Speaker 1: always read them and that really helps my show get
Speaker 1: shared and shown to others to spread the healthy hert message.
Speaker 1: So thank you so much for spending time with me,
Speaker 1: and I will see you in your podcast feed every
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning and hopefully in my Vitality Reach Set fourteen
Speaker 1: day program very soon. Thanks so much. Why is it
