Let's talk about menopause.

When I was in my twenties, most of my nutrition clients were in their 50s. I would talk to them about hot flashes, low libido, and weight gain and "what they could do about it," exercise more, eat less, you know, the drill.

I remember a few of my clients laughing at me and saying, "Oh, honey, in thirty years, give us a call and let us know what you think of the advice you're giving us!"

Fast forward to 2020, when I was forced into INSTANT menopause after my breast cancer diagnosis, and oh goodness, I'm mortified by my lack of compassion and understanding of menopause in my twenties.

Today's guest is Dr. Corinne Menn. She's a menopause expert, a world-renowned OB-GYN, and a twenty-four-year breast cancer survivor.

Dr. Menn explained that a recent study discovered that only 7% of ob/gyns were comfortable talking to their patients about menopause.

WHAT?!? Who is supposed to help us?

How about our quality of life, including sleep and weight gain? Not to mention the higher risk of heart disease.

And should we talk about sex? I think we should.

Sex can be incredibly painful during the menopause years.

Dr. Menn is here to help!

Her advice regarding tackling these menopause challenges was invaluable. I loved her tips on weight loss and sleep, and I will say it again: SEX!

When I began detoxing my life after being diagnosed with cancer, I felt overwhelmed and confused. I thought I was already making good health choices, but the more I researched, the more I discovered that small changes could lead to significant improvements.

For instance, switching from tea bags to loose-leaf tea can help prevent additional microplastics from accumulating in my body. These plastic particles can affect my hormones and contribute to inflammation.

This was such a simple swap! I was so encouraged that I started to make more simple swaps.

And now, I have an Amazon Store listing many of my favorite detox tips!

We all have those regrets about things we wish we had done or known sooner in life, don't we?

Lately, I've been having some fun on my podcasts by asking guests what advice they would share with their younger selves. The answers have been so surprising and insightful!

It made me think about what advice I would give my 25-year-old self.

I'd tell her:

• Don't make decisions based on fear.
• Push the pause button before you respond to a negative situation.
• Don't WORRY! God will always work it out.

I hate to admit that I've spent a considerable chunk of my adulthood making decisions based on fear.

Fear complicates, and truth liberates.

I wish I would have understood that in my younger years.

But it's never too late, and I can tell you that cancer changed me.

I had a choice of being frozen by fear or pushing the pause button when fearful thoughts came rushing in. Pushing the pause button, for me, meant taking a moment to breathe, ask more questions, gather more information, and not get caught up in the whirlwind of fearful thoughts.

I can't say that I never go down the rabbit hole of scary thoughts, but it happens much less often than it used to! That's progress, baby.

Listen to today's podcast if you're ready to conquer fear with simple tips. My interview with guest Jamie Winship transformed my life.

I love answering questions! And, well, I also love reflecting, so there you go ;)

Let's start with the questions I received this month:

Questions:

1: How do I train myself to stay calm?

I am making an effort to stay in a peaceful state. I focus on pressing the pause button before I respond, remembering to pause and take intentional breaths. I learned these techniques from reading the book Breath. Additionally, I move my body several times daily and stand during work calls or podcast recordings. I also take 1-2 exercise classes each week.

I also use essential oils such as lavender and "calming" blend I buy from Young Living Oils (link below!).

Resources:

• Dwell Bible App

• Essential oils, young living

• Class Pass

• Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art (book)

2: How do I transition from summer to fall with food, activity, and self-care?

I transition from salads to warmer foods such as grilled veggies, protein, and soups.

I still go outside every morning, rain or shine, and look toward the sunrise, as this helps reset my circadian rhythm, which helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep.

I use Class Pass to stay active, which allows me to move my workouts inside if the weather is terrible. I can also use Class Pass while traveling to try different workouts. I love it!

I protect my sleeping environment by lowering the lights at night and wearing my blue light blockers (this helps my body produce more melatonin).

We also use an Air Doctor machine in our bedroom; I bought one because so many people I respect in this field were talking about them, and I love it! And it provides a little white noise as well, a win-win.

Resources:

• Air Doctor

• Sleep Mask

• Bon Charge (blue light-blocking glasses)

You know what? Making your home less toxic can be quite a puzzle! I never even thought about hidden toxins in my home until I chatted with some guests on my podcast. It got me thinking about where these toxins might be hiding.

To keep things manageable, I decided to tackle it one room at a time. I also didn't want to toss out stuff I loved and paid good money for, even if they were "just a little toxic."

And what does "just a little toxic" actually mean? HELP!

That's why I started looking for a lower-cost way to detox my home.

And that's how I found Ron and Lisa Beres, the Healthy Home Dream Team.

Lisa's life turned upside down after she became severely ill from exposure to toxins in a newly remodeled home. On her healing journey, she discovered simple and inexpensive ways to detox your home, office, and probably the most crucial room for women: the bathroom! Did you know that women are exposed to hundreds of toxins (beauty products) before leaving the house in the morning? UGH!

Clearing the Path: Eliminating Toxic Relationships for a Better Life

When your button pusher walks toward you, do you pretend not to see them?

Okay, maybe it's just me!

Before cancer, I had a handful of toxic people in my life. I didn't spend a lot of time with them, but when I did see them, I could feel my anxiety rising even before we got together!

When today's podcast guest, Dr. Jantz, mentioned that he wanted to do a podcast about the impact of toxic people on our health, I was all in!

Spending time with toxic people can affect your health in the following ways:

• It can increase your sympathetic response, leading to higher heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.
• Your body may produce more stress hormones, which can cause inflammation.
• It can also damage your confidence and affect your sense of identity.

How do you move the toxic people out of your life, especially if they are family members?

Dr. Jantz suggested having a friend or spouse nearby when dealing with difficult family members at events. If you get upset, use a pre-agreed safe word to signal for support in removing yourself from the situation. With some pre-planning, you can avoid getting caught up in their negativity.

Listen to today's podcast to hear the rest of Dr. J.'s tips on dealing with toxic people.

Dr. Jantz is the founder of The Center A Place of HOPE in Edmonds, Washington, voted a Top Ten facility for Depression Treatment in the United States. Dr. Jantz pioneered Whole Person Care in the 1980s and is a world-renowned expert on depression, anxiety, eating disorders, technology addiction, and abuse.

Dr. Jantz is a best-selling author of 40 books and a go-to media authority on mental and behavioral health afflictions, appearing on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and CNN.
