Intermittent fasting is not a new concept. Derived from the eating patterns of our ancestors, the hunter-gatherers, it's ingrained in our DNA - yet as with any eating pattern, it doesn’t come without its shortfalls.

This week's episode will help you figure out a meal spacing lifestyle that's best for you.

.But, based on the research article published by Menopause Review it isn’t true.

  • Vitamins have impact on the state of hair
  • Minerals influence hair growth
  • Low glycemic index and load affect hair growth

Chronic stress and certain cosmetics and hairdresser's treatments play a role.

Your hair loss also reflects a darker side of your hormones that no one ever seems to talk about. 

It’s a place that I don’t want YOU to find yourself in. 

There is a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to getting healthier, however, there is no confusion that addressing the root cause of the symptoms, instead of masking them, is the way to go.

In Episode #9 of MME podcast, I’ll be sharing why you need to pay closer attention to your hair loss and what it’s telling you.

Even if you've got into your head that giving up the many pleasures of food will fix your symptoms and imbalances. I say it's just not true.

What is true is that you'll have to make some changes in the way you eat, cook and shop. But for a short time, a very short time.

In Episode #7 of Make Menopause Easy, we're talking about food intolerances, why removing food groups doesn't work, and how to do an elimination diet to fix your food intolerances and eat what you love.

  1. Menopause is a disease that you just have to ride it out. 
  2. Ovaries shut down causing a decline in progesterone and estrogen 
  3. Your symptoms are all menopausal

Many women today-especially menopausal women are echoing a common refrain- There must be something wrong with my hormones. That's certainly NOT true!
