Like all the green leafy vegetables, certainly potatoes and rice, yams. sweet potato, all these things have like a constant, there's a constant rotation in my home because I feel like these are really great carbohydrates. My boys play competitive soccer. So I also, there's like bananas everywhere. Like there's like, there's always carbohydrates in the house. And I think that,
If women can sort of heal their relationship to carbohydrates, I think we'd be better off. We certainly know that they make us feel good. They help, like I was mentioning before with the thyroid function, they help convert. When insulin is elevated, of course, we convert inactive thyroid hormone T4 to active thyroid hormone T3. in the gut that happens in the liver and in the muscles as well.
So very, very important to be thinking about carbohydrates and the muscle. Like we've been talking about the musculoskeletal system, but the muscle is one of the sites where we see inactive to active thyroid hormone converted. So, you know, very important there. So carbs very important. And then the other thing you mentioned is sleep. I think that sleep is the panacea for recovery.
And this is, of course, one of the most common things that women in perimenopause start to complain about is like the initiation and the continuation of sleep, right? Like they can't initiate or maintain their sleep.
So to your point before around hormones, I think that this may be, first you have to make sure that you have like a good sleep, like you're not like doom scrolling on Instagram in your bed, you know, with all the LED lights on, you know, like we want to be thinking...
yeah so nice sleep hygiene most of you know what that is anyway like most of you if you're listening to the show you there's this has been covered on previous podcasts and you're also already intelligent enough to know that your phone shouldn't be in your bedroom uh your lights should be low uh there should be some type of transition routine
From day to night, for me, that ends up being like my skincare routine. So I'm like oils in my hair and my face and taking my makeup off and castor oil and all the stuff. So that's sort of like my brain's cue that's like, oh, it's bedtime now, right? So some type of transition routine, really helpful. Reading, all that beautiful stuff. Orgasm with a partner or yourself.
So all these beautiful things kind of setting up sleep well. And then if that, if you're like, hey, yeah, I've mastered all of that, then, you know, have the conversation with your naturopathic doctor or with your PCP around progesterone. Probably, I mean, not probably, definitely low for women in their 40s.
We see this sort of stepwise, like kind of attenuation in progesterone as we progress through that, which does affect sleep. And then, of course, that affects anxiety and mood and emotional regulation. And of course, digestion and sleep certainly is kind of the big one that a lot of women notice.
Yeah, there's some, like some people will comment on my Instagram feed and I say this with love. It's like, you know what you really need? You really need to come. Yeah, seriously. Like you just, you need to just feel that post-orgasmic bliss that you are clearly not getting in your life to leave a comment like this, you know?
Big O, baby. Yeah. You know, in my book, in my first book, I actually put an orgasm challenge in the book. I was like, you're going to orgasm, take a picture of your face on Monday and you're going to orgasm for seven days straight. So every day, like one orgasm a day, and then take a picture the next Monday and like, and compare those two pictures.
And you tell me, and I had people all over the world when the book came out, they're like, oh my God, like, My skin, my eyes are whiter, everything is plumper, like my cheeks are plumper. They couldn't believe it, right? Inflammation is better, like all these different things. So to revive that, if you want to try, if that's the action item that you want to take from this podcast. Perfect.
Seven day orgasm challenge. I love it. Yeah. I love it.
Oh, you're so kind. Thank you so much. So I have a podcast like you. It's called Better with Dr. Stephanie. Just encapsulates my philosophy for life. It's not about being the best. It's just about being better. We have, you know, world-class leaders and thought leaders like yourself on the show. We talk about nutrition, fitness, stress management, hormones, all the things.
I am currently writing my book, which will be out sometime next year. So that's in the process. But what we're doing in anticipation of that book is I'm actually running cohorts of perimenopausal women. So we're running these coaching groups. They're eight weeks in length and we're talking about nutrition and fitness.
So I don't know exactly when this show is coming out, but the next one that we're going to be running is going to be in March. So I'll send you all the links if you want to put them in the show notes for people to kind of figure out. Yes. And then the other free places to find me, obviously on Instagram, Dr. Stephanie Estima.
And then drstephaniestima.com is sort of like the main hub of all, like all these things. If you don't remember anything I just said, just go to drstephaniestima.com and it's all there. All the stuff is there.
Thank you for being on this planet. I appreciate you. Thank you so much. I'm delighted to be here. Thank you for having me.
