   Everyone Poops!

   Once again, I was joined by Dr. Marci L. Hardy, PhD, MA, to discuss how to become more comfortable talking about your bodily functions. Dr. Hardy previously joined me in episode #8 — You are the Expert on Your Body (https://insightintohealth.substack.com/p/you-are-the-expert-on-your-body) to talk about advocating for yourself and your loved ones to ensure you are getting the attention and care you need from your healthcare providers. In this episode, Dr. Hardy expands on her patient advocacy approach to overcoming the social taboos of talking about digestive function and symptoms more generally, as well as specifics, such as reflux, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. If just reading this makes you squirm, remember… Everyone Poops! (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/133547.Everyone_Poops) For more about digestive health, including reflux, gas, bloating, and more, check out The Ins & Outs of Digestive Health — Part 1 (https://insightintohealth.substack.com/p/the-ins-and-outs-of-digestive-health) and Part 2.

   It’s Not Too Late to Start

   Kathy Hutchinson and Janessa Dusek of Active Wellness Center (https://activewellnesscenter.com/petaluma/programs/personal-training/meet-our-trainers/) in Petaluma, California, joined me to talk about the “predictable physiologic changes” that come with peri- and post-menopause. Kathy is an exercise physiologist and the Medical Integration Coordinator with Active Wellness Center, with extensive experience in cardiac rehabilitation, Parkinson's disease, and general medical fitness. Janessa is a personal trainer certified in corrective exercise, pre- and postnatal care, women’s fitness, and senior fitness. She also created the Active Wellness Center's Women's Strength Training Series. Together, we discussed the physical changes that occur from perimenopause into postmenopause and how to think about resistance training goals, whether you are in your 20s & 30s, 40s, and 50s, or in your postmenopause years. Kathy and Janessa shared many gems about fitness, listening to your body, and showing up for yourself.

   Supplements & Perimenopause

   Registered Dietitian and friend Karen Louise Scheuner joined me to talk about perimenopause, supplements, shape-shifting diet culture, and how turning to supplements can sometimes signal a deeper fear of aging and a changing body. Check out more about supplements in my Supplements 101 (https://insightintohealth.substack.com/p/supplements-101) guide. As mentioned during our conversation, magnesium-rich foods include nuts and seeds (especially pumpkin seeds and chia seeds), beans, lentils, whole grains, leafy greens, dark chocolate (>70% cacao), and more (https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/magnesium/).
