Women Facing Menopause are Betrayed by Ignorance and Sexism in the Health Community Lesson 9
My top 10 lessons learned in 2020 Lesson 9 Night sweats. Mood swings. Insomnia. Hot flushes. Weight gain. Headaches. Depression. Anxiety. Dry Skin. Vaginal Atrophy . . . I could go on. It’s a sad list, isn’t it? Yet these are just a few of the often times debilitating side-effects of peri-menopause and menopause. You would hope that a list of such symptoms in women in their 40s and 50s would be enough to at least pique a doctor’s interest and encourage them to find a solution. But unfortunately that is not the case. Instead women are being met with ignorance and even sexism by the people who they regard as medical professionals including Medical doctors, Functional MD's, Nutrition Coaches and even Hormone "experts"! The number of postmenopausal women has only risen over time. Statistics show that in the year 1998, only 477 million postmenopausal women were present in the world however, this number is expected to rise to around 1.1 billion by 2025.  Estrogen at one time was the #1 prescribed medicine in North America. Helping women all around the world sail through their menopausal years. Then something changed and the world became misinformed and unjustifiably scared of hormone replacement.  In this episode I carefully go over the study that ruined millions of women's lives. How we have been mislead into believing from our highly respected health practitioners that estrogen and hormone replacement therapy is bad. Why it is of the utmost importance that women educate themselves on this and help me to spread the word so women do not have to suffer needlessly.  Check out the Women's Wellness Shop your one stop shop for women's bioidentical hormones and supplements.

The Dark Side Of Keto, Fasting, Carnivore & OMAD Lesson 7
My top lessons learned in 2020. Keto, carnivore, fasting and one meal a day (OMAD) have taken the dieting world by a storm for the last few years. In 2017-2018 I was all over the ketogenic, fasting based diets. These diets work and they can provide easy weight loss for many people.  But over the last few years I started seeing negative side effects from these diets. Including weight gain, thyroid problems, adrenal issues, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, loss of menstruation and more! I had to come up with a way to utilize these diets for their benefits without the negative side effects.  In this episode I break it all down for you.  why these diets work in the beginning what does the research show when it comes to the best diets how I use keto, fasting and carnivore in my own practice what I started to witness in my own practice and membership groups what the negative side effects are and why they happen what I discovered that could allow women to get the benefits of these diets with the negative consequences the evolutionary purpose of being able to produce and survive off ketones but what long term production signals to our bodies what it does to our hormones and metabolism what OMAD really is and much more!

Social Media Can Be Toxic to Your Self Esteem Lesson 3
My top 10 lessons learned in 2020! Social media has been linked to higher levels of loneliness, envy, anxiety, depression, narcissism and decreased social skills. I realized this year that often times after scrolling through Facebook and Instagram that I felt less then. Without meaning to I was comparing myself to women that I was seeing online. Our expectations of what we should look like is being controlled by what we see online which unfortunately isn't  realistic. There is a small population, very small, of women that have so called "perfect bodies." The majority of the population has stretch marks, cellulite, muffin tops, tummy flaps, skin imperfections, fine lines, wrinkles etc. So this year I implemented  some great tools to help keep a body positive attitude.  This episode is sponsored by LetsGetChecked.

Ask me Anything Q&A Emotional Eating, Late Night Wake Ups, IBS Colitis, Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
On this week's Q&A 1. Dominique "Hi - I have come round to the fact that I have a food addiction but here’s the thing.... is not junk food - I eat very healthy paleo/carnivore. But it’s the quantity and emotional eating. Do you, or do know anyone who I can go to for help with this. Any website I can turn to? I trust you and your advice so much I would love some direction." 2. Ketograms5 "Should all post menopausal women be on bio identical estrogen and progesterone?" 3. Eldav "Wondering how you feel about bioidentical progesterone in pill form. Is it as safe as cream?" 4. Corine "Hi Karen! Loving your podcasts and all the fascinating info! I was wondering what your advice would be for very heavy periods. I’m 33 and in my 20s I had 5 years of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. I’m now having crazy heavy periods (first day light, then 3 days of nothing then 3 days of the bloody Mississippi!(changing my heavy tampon every hour) then 3-4 days of lighter (10 days total menstruation) so much blood loss is affecting my energy and performance levels. And I’m eating a lot of meat to try to gain some blood volume and iron back but it’s hard! I also get PMS symptoms before or during my period. (Moody, depressed, emotional, sore boobs). I’ve also noticed weight gain in my muffin tops and stomach.... I don’t want to have to go on an IUD. Is there any other options. EstroSmart seemed to help with PMS a bit but the last podcast with Dr. Saladino scared me because a lot of the ingredients in there, he advised are toxic."  5. Kylee  "Hey Karen, I just came across your podcast and I’m loving it. I’m 27 and just had my last (3rd) baby. I’ve been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis and IBS, I also have a lactose intolerance. All of these things work against me and eating raw veggies, meat really hurts my stomach, so weight loss is a real struggle because every healthy lifestyle revolves around a clean diet which I absolutely love veggies and fresh fruit but it makes me super sick. Is this something that others have issues with when their hormones are off? Or is it just a medical issue that I need to take medication for. (I’ve tried many medications and many diet restrictive diets) yet I feel really crummy. And it’s worsened with each new baby. So my question is; Can medically diagnosed health conditions be treated with hormone therapy?" 6. Lacey  "I am a 33 y.o. and have been happily doing a meat heavy diet. I have been breastfeeding a 4 month old.  my question is: is it pretty normal to have interrupted sleep (difficulty falling back asleep while breastfeeding)? I try to go to bed as early as I can after dark but have been lying awake and unable to sleep from early am hours (sometimes 2-3 am until dawn) while listening to my husband and baby sleep in the bedroom around me. This sleeplessness isn't every night. Increasing carbs has helped with my sleep and perceived stress levels...more rice, cooked fruit, cooked root vegetables."

Ask me Anything Q&A hypothyroidism & iron, weight lifting & your cycle, PMS & nausea, carnivore diet
Q&A with Karen 1. Can low Iron cause secondary thyroid issues? 2. If you do resistance training 2 weeks of the month and something lighter the other 2, will you loose the gains every 2 weeks?  3. Hi I recently found your website via your interview with Dr Paul Saladino and I am fascinated with your approach to balancing hormones. Every month, my 21 year old daughter, on her first day of her period is violently ill with vomiting and/or diarrhea, for about 5-6 hours and then she recovers and everything is back to normal. This has been occurring for about the last two year. She is normal weight, and active. She follows a loose keto diet - whole foods, with limited processed foods and sugar. Her GP simply prescribed anti nausea tablets, which don't help. Do you have any ideas or directions we can take?  4. I have non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism. I'm on NDT. I've also had adrenal issues in the past but haven't tested recently. I started a carnivore diet 2 months ago. I've been horribly weak, light-headed, shaky and even labored breathing at times. I'm 5'3" and ~98-100 lbs. Dr. Saladino recommended I add more carbs immediately so I added olives, avocado, honey the past couple days but still feel very weak and shaky. Currently: I'm eating 1-1.5 lbs of meat, suet, bone broth, 3 egg yolks and a large romaine salad with cucumbers, olives, avocado, EVOO & lemon juice per day. Prior to carnivore I was veggie heavy Paleo with low amount of animal protein. I was weak and light headed then hence the carnivore diet. I started out feeling better the first try but horrible this time though I see improvements to hair growth and less loss (though dry) and other positive changes. Sometimes feels like adrenals are maybe stressed like you talk about. A naturopath monitors my thyroid/adrenals however we have never tested my RT3. Thank you!  4. Hi Karen I love your podcast I have a quick question for you I eat fairly well lower carb paleo type diet with a few cheats here and there but I have noticed in the last few years that I have been getting progressively more constipated. I have always suffered with it but it seems to be getting worse and there are times I won’t go for 4-5 days at a time. Any suggestions?
