  Getting the estrogen out meant no more migraines.  I really like not being in pain

  I listen to many channels trying to put the puzzle pieces together. This is one of my favorites. I love your presentations, and those Ausi accents. Thank you for all you folks do. Much love

  “Unfortunate enough to still have a uterus” 🤔. <br>I’ve personally never wished away any of my internal organs or have been disappointed that I still have all of them.

  So you recommend low carb and more protein? &nbsp;How about fats? &nbsp;I&apos;ve seen a few who claim that eating lots of butter (and I guess fatty meats) has helped reduce menopause (perimenopause) symptoms. &nbsp; Does eating fat also help with hormone production perhaps? &nbsp;Could it be that the low fat movement is at least in part to blame for some of the suffering through menopause symptoms that most women seem to be facing these days? &nbsp;Thank you for this talk focusing on women of this age. &nbsp;It&apos;s just a shame that young women may never hear about it until it&apos;s hitting them. &nbsp;How do you target a younger audience to help them preventatively? &nbsp;Young women need to know how important this is!

  Lucy, this is a brilliant, bite sized package of information. I&apos;d love to learn more in a detailed lecture, or even a book. I will be sharing this talk on some forums.

  Sorry, but why do we need to hear that crap that people used to die in there 40s all the time? This numbers are the AVERAGE age, and does not mean that we get older now, but means that the numbers of babies and children dying went down massively.<br>If you managed to grow up into an adult you could life into your 80s like today. But child mortality went down and that is why it seems we get older today. <br>In the last 150 years infant mortality changed from about 25% down to under 1% in Europe, that screws with the numbers. Nature would not have developed a system to shut down our reproductive sytem if we where ment to die before it.

  I have been doing low carb (20gr/day) for about 5 years. There are endless versions of this diet out there but what worked for me was eating protein (meat) and fat (like cheese) until satiety. I barely touch vegetables and only eat some strawberries and occasionally some blueberries. I’m going through menopause now and have zero symptoms…. Ok, maybe some sneezing and runny nose that has been reported by some women. I did however have to cut back on the fat and watch my carbs like a hawk to manage my weight. I do yin yoga for flexibility and meditation to manage stress. I feel great!

  Estrogen also maintains bone mass. When bone mass decreases, toxins such as lead are released. Lead interferes with the insulin receptors.

  So glad we finally got this talk, I&apos;ve been waiting for it for so long. It always seemed so much easier for men (and premenopausal women) to lose the weight with low carb/keto. Thank you for this.
