Menopause and Fatty Liver: What's Happening to Your Liver After Age 40

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode, we're talking about your liver, and why what's happening to it after perimenopause may be one of the reasons why the weight isn't coming off, your energy is low, and your hot flashes are more intense than you'd like.
Fatty liver disease is much more common after menopause than before it, and it's directly connected to the drop in estrogen. But most women, and many health providers, aren't talking about it.
In this episode you'll learn:
- What fatty liver disease is and what causes it
- What your liver is responsible for in perimenopause and menopause
- Why fatty liver is about more than just eating fat, and how stress, cortisol, and poor sleep are making it worse
- The vegan foods and drinks with research support for liver health
- Supplements that support the liver, including one that vegan women in particular should pay attention to
- The type of movement that supports liver clearance without adding to your stress load

Notes de l’épisode
If you're eating well, trying to stay active, and still struggling to lose weight during menopause, your sleep may be the missing piece.
In this episode, we're diving into how sleep impacts weight loss, hormones, and cravings, and why it becomes more disrupted during menopause. You'll learn why poor sleep can increase hunger (especially for sugar), and make your body more likely to store fat, even if your eating habits haven't changed.
We also explore how your circadian rhythm influences metabolism, why menopause-related sleep issues are so common, and what's really happening in your body when you're not getting enough rest.
If weight loss has been feeling harder than it should, this episode will help you understand why, and and give some simple tips to start improving your sleep.

As we age, our skin becomes more dry. Estrogen keeps our skin and tissues more supple and when that declines, the skin can become more delicate and fragile. In this episode, I share skin care tips and my routine.
I mentioned in my episode about hydration that water helps to keep you skin plump, which can reduce wrinkles.
Here is a link to a short Instagram video I did on drinking water as a meditative experience.

Notes de l’épisode
Why would you want to eat mindfully? One reason is that as estrogen drops, we have a tendency toward more eating and getting less movement, which would lead to weight gain.
We also have another hormone called leptin that signals that we are full. When estrogen decreases in menopause, we can become resistant to leptin and may not recognize the signals that we are full. So you may feel more hungry during perimenopause.
Another reason for mindful eating is if you eat when you are stressed, that could lead to eating more food.
In this episode, you will learn:
-Why you may have stopped eating according to your own needs
-How to recognize whether you are actually hungry
-What to do if you want to eat for an emotional reason
-What a mindful eating practice could look like and how to scale it to your lifestyle.
