In this episode, Dr. Ching delves into the intricate topic of perimenopause in women and the importance of supplementation during this stage. She discusses the various factors that can impact women's health during different life stages, emphasizing the 360-approach to menopause preparation. Dr. Ching covers a wide range of topics including hormonal changes, brain function, stress management, sleep quality, and the role of supplements like magnesium, L-theanine, and omega-3 fatty acids in supporting cognitive health and reducing stress levels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The 360 approach to menopause includes factors like stress hormones, thyroid health, bone density, mitochondrial energy, sleep, blood sugar balance, cardiovascular health, and more.

• Perimenopausal stages can impact mental health and diseases unique to women, with various life stages presenting different challenges such as infertility, postpartum depression, and menopausal syndrome.

• Endocrine changes during aging, such as thyroid gland shrinkage and ovarian failure, can lead to hormonal imbalances affecting brain function and increasing vulnerability to conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

• Elevated cortisol levels due to chronic stress can lead to cognitive issues, memory loss, and compromised immunity, emphasizing the importance of stress management in menopausal women.

• Nutritional supplements like magnesium, L-theanine, DHA from fish oil, and polyphenols from food can help improve sleep quality, reduce stress response, and support cognitive function during menopause.

BEST MOMENTS

"Estrogen goes up, improve it, but if it goes down, it also causes shrinkage."

"The more the cortisol goes up, it reduces the gut immunity, causes more food sensitivities, and leads to higher cortisol levels, perpetuating it."

"DHEA secretion naturally and normally diminishes starting at the age of 30. In women, by the time they reach menopause, it has decreased by 60% on average."

"Omega-3 fatty acids help to blunt the stress response elicited by mental stress and improve cognitive function."
