62 How to have a happy menopause with Jackie Lynch

Jackie Lynch is a Registered Nutritional Therapist who’s written a very interesting book called The Happy Menopause. It’s specifically about how nutrition can help us flourish and I just love the title Happy Menopause. We talk about: Why Jackie believes menopause is a transformational time in a woman’s life in a good way Estrogen as the biddable, nurturing hormone Why some women suffer badly in menopause and others don’t The importance of diet and lifestyle in midlife and beyond How the manner in which we lived when younger can impact our menopause experience The impact of stress and the myth of having it all How Rachel got her periods back after a diagnosis of early menopause The importance of maintaining stable blood sugar levels How the body produces stress hormones when blood sugar levels are not stable How menopause may not be to blame for what’s happening to us How our thoughts and beliefs can impact our experience of menopause The importance of eating more protein with every meal and snack Getting magnesium, calcium and iron from leafy green vegetables How phytoestrogens mimic the actions of estrogen in the body The wonder food that is flaxseed The physiological stress we can put on our bodies through diet and lifestyle Understanding whether HRT is right for you and how to balance that with diet and lifestyle HRT is not a quick solution and still needs a good diet for the best support How Rachel weaned herself off HRT at 51 How just small nutritional changes can make a huge difference Jackie’s own midlife reinvention And more!
