And that's about the time I found your interview with Nicole. And I was like, oh, this is happening. So let's talk about perimenopause a little bit. I'm like, what's going on there? Why did my brain decide to glitch on me?
Yeah, a thousand percent. I'm going to share an example so that we can just solidify this. So I... First, I want to say estrogen dominance doesn't always necessarily mean high estrogen. It just means higher estrogen in relationship to your progesterone levels. And so I am a low hormone girl. I run low hormone. I've always been very lean.
I feel good low hormone throughout my life when I needed a little estrogen because I was so bottomed out from stress that I'd have a little, even in my 30s and 40s, I'd have a little breakthrough bleeding. I've been on progesterone since my 30s. everybody, just full disclosure. I didn't go on the oral form until more recently, but I've always been using progesterone.
And in my clinical practice, almost every woman who walks through my door gets a progesterone topical because they're all low. And like, that's been the way it is for decades. We weren't scared off 20 some years ago by the women's health initiative. Like we docs, like Dr. Kerry Jones and I have been handing out prescriptions for HRT this whole time. You know, we were like, that was a bad study.
It was badly interpreted. So anyway, um, I don't do well with high levels of hormones. And then I have the MTHFR mutation. I have two copies. I've got one of each. So I don't methylate well. And you take someone like that, you give them estrogen. So my estrogen started bottoming out, I don't know, a year and a half ago. Manifested as really horrific pain.
Started adding in last fall a little bit of an estrogen patch, just a little bit. just to get that steady state because even topical estrogen wasn't cutting it anymore. I was just too mamsy-pamsy about when I put it on. So I go on a steady state patch. It's like the clouds part, the sky opens. The calm salve of estrogen comes over my brain and I'm like, oh, thank God.
My pain goes down significantly. Everything's great. All of a sudden, a few months in, I start having panic attacks, like literal consuming panic attacks. And I'm like, what is going on? I run my estrogen labs. Everything's fine. It's low even. My FSH is still high, meaning my brain isn't hearing the estrogen and still thinks I'm in perimenopause.
And menopause, I mean, if you want to get real specific, and I'm sitting there like, what the heck? So I keep upping my estrogen and I keep... On labs, everything looks fine. Every single person I showed my labs to is like, eh, this looks fine. Well, what's happening is my receptors are not cleaned up and they're having a terrible struggle.
My liver's having a terrible struggle because of those methylation pathways you just discussed. My histamine is going sky high and I am having all the symptomology of estrogen dominance and yet... labs look perfectly normal. And so this, I get off the estrogen patch, I clear it out of my system, I go back on a tiny little dose, everything's fine.
This is a perfect example of how labs are bullshit in perimenopause. Yes. We have to go with symptoms, right? And I'm just not processing the estrogen. And in fact, my lipids start going up, my thyroid antibodies start going up because I'm driving inflammation due to the excess estrogen in my body that isn't being processed and going down the pathways appropriately.
Like in a nutshell, I hope that's understandable to the audience. It's like, even though the lab said everything was fine, I was not fine, right?
Here's a sobering fact that most people don't realize. Only 6.8 of US adults are considered cardiometabolically healthy. That means that a staggering 93% plus are metabolically busted and heading towards type 2 diabetes. That's not my opinion. That's from a 2021 study based on 2018 data. That's shocking. And most people have no idea that anything's even wrong.
It's one of the reasons I've been shouting about metabolic health for well over a decade. in my practice, online, and have based the foundation of every episode of this podcast on it. One tool I've personally used and have highly recommended for years is a continuous glucose monitor, specifically through NutriSense.
NutriSense helps you to see your blood sugar in real time via their very user-friendly and cool app so that you can finally understand how your body is responding to the foods you eat, the workouts you're doing, the stress you're under, and the sleep you're neglecting. It's not just data for data's sake.
With NutriSense, you also get access to a credentialed nutritionist who can help you interpret what you're seeing and guide you towards better choices without guessing. It's one of the smartest ways I know how to take control of your metabolic health. No hype, just data, context, and support. Ready to take a more informed approach to your health?

You know I'm all about getting the protein in. It's the foundation of your strength, your muscle, and your metabolic health. But here's the kicker.
Just because you're eating a lot of protein doesn't mean you're absorbing all of it. Without the right digestive enzymes, much of it isn't necessarily getting broken down into amino acids that your body uses for muscle protein synthesis. This gets worse as we age. Your muscles don't just need more protein, they need bioavailable protein, and that's where digestive enzymes can come in handy.
This is why I never leave my protein intake to chance. I use Masszymes by Bioptimizers. It's a high-potency proteolytic enzyme formula designed specifically to help you absorb more of the protein that you eat. Not all enzymes are created equal, and most on the market are weak, underdosed, and ineffective. Masszymes is the real deal and the one that I trust personally.
I've even done a side-by-side breakdown with ChatGPT on all my favorite digestive enzymes, and this one always comes out tops. Masszymes is a full-spectrum enzyme formula with more protease than any other commercially available product. It's got five different types of protease in it, plus it contains all the other key enzymes you need for optimal digestion. And you can try it today risk-free.
Their 365-day full money-back guarantee is the gold standard of the industry.
