Menopause Body-Snatched Me. So I Fought Back.

In this episode, I share the transformative journey of navigating menopause—and the effects on my body I never saw coming. Shortly after setting a personal record at the Boston Half Marathon, my world flipped. I went from feeling unstoppable to battling joint pain and brain fog while wrestling with fluctuating cholesterol levels. It wasn’t just hot flashes or mood swings; the hormonal changes ran much deeper.Through diligent research and a deep dive into the science, I discovered how declining estrogen reshapes metabolism and overall health. You’ll hear how this shift can increase fat storage and change how your body processes energy—why I now think of menopause as a biological earthquake. Join me for a candid, empowering conversation designed to help you understand what’s happening and take control of your health through this major life transition.Here is the link to the Substack article: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/menopause-body-snatched-me-so-i-foughtA Big Thank You To Our Sponsors: If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62If you are over the age of 50 and want to improve your body composition, build lean muscle (combat sarcopenia), build stronger bones (to combat osteoporosis), and you want to feel your best, I highly recommend exploring the life-changing coaching offered at https://www.fitvegancoaching.com/ Their personalized, whole-food, plant-based approach helped me lose 7% body fat, gain lean muscle, and even improve my running time—all while feeling energized and healthy.
