There is a severe lack of research into perimenopause and menopause. Luckily Vanessa Ford and her business partners Danielle Jacobs and Dr. John Konhilas at Menolabs saw the huge gap and need for us midlife women to get some answers and relief from hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and all the other symptoms we have during this period of our lives. In this episode we openly discuss what it's like to be in perimenopause and menopause and what we can do about it. 

Show notes: 

  • After thinking she had cancer and couldn't get any answers from her friends and family Vanessa Ford realized there is a lack of research into women's symptoms for perimenopause/menopause. 
  • Every woman's symptoms are different. 
  • Menopause rage is real. You can just be angry for no particular reason. 
  • You can logically give excuses away why you are being angry, having hot flashes and irregular periods. 
  • Dr. John Kohnhilas has been studying menopause for over 20 years. 
  • Scientist are talking about our second brain in our enteric nervous system. 
  • They developed three product supplements that will help women with menopause symptoms of hot flashes, mood swings and weight gain. MenoFit, MenoGlow and MenoGuard. 
  • What they discovered is that normally as we use estrogen we pass it out of our bodies but if we use the right probiotics, the right bacteria, your gut will send a signal to your brain to recyle your estrogen. It's called deconjugation of estrogen.
  • The products are 100% natural. 
  • If diagnosed with or have had treatments with cancer and a doctor says you can't have soy or phytoestrogens you should not take these supplements.
  • You should really discuss with your doctor before you take any supplements.
  • It's extremely important to exercise now to safe off osteoporosis and have good bone health!
