“The literature of menopause is the
saddest, the most awful, and the most medical of all genres. You're
sleepless, you're anxious, you're fat, you're depressed - and the
advice is always the same: take more walks, eat some kale, and
drink lots of water. It didn't help.” (Sandra Tsing
Loh)
For today’s guest,
Intermittent Fasting Coach and Author, Laurie
Lewis, menopause dealt a crushing blow. She experienced brain fog,
lack of balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of
stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better
but the methods that worked in the past made no difference. After
four years of struggle, Laurie stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting
and started fasting that very same day. The menopausal fog lifted
in less than one week, she had more energy and felt more “like
herself.” Now, at
59-years old, Laurie has turned her personal success into a
thriving Intermittent Fasting coaching business. As a certified
health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she
combines her knowledge of nutrition with the study and practice of
intermittent fasting/time restricted eating.
In
this episode, we discuss the root causes of
most people’s challenges with weight loss and health, and why so
many women expect that they will get sicker, heavier and foggier as
they age. We talk about how intermittent fasting helps to
reduce brain fog, and Laurie’s top 3 tips
on how to get started with time restricted
eating.
As
I describe in my book, nutrition is a foundational pillar of
my roadmap to aging youthfully. For me,
combining
a low carbohydrate, and later a ketogenic, nutrition program with
time restricted eating helped me lose 40 lbs of body fat, during my
rehabilitation after emergency spinal surgery. But as we strive to
age in good health, we each have to learn what works for
us.
