EPISODE 95 - HOW TO MANAGE CHRONIC FATIGUE AND MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS THROUGH A HEALTHY DIET AND LIFESTYLE

The conversation covers topics related to chronic fatigue syndrome, symptoms, hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, and libido. The symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome include extreme exhaustion, muscle aches, brain fog, and digestive issues. Chronic fatigue syndrome can occur in children, often triggered by infections like mono. It can also have an autoimmune component. Perimenopause is the 10-12 year period before menopause, and symptoms include mood swings, sleep disturbances, headaches, and changes in menstrual cycles. Hormone replacement therapy can alleviate symptoms but comes with risks. A holistic approach to diet, including minimizing sugar and carbs, can support hormone balance. Foods that can improve libido include zinc-rich foods and vegetables. In this conversation, Daina Gardiner discusses the potential risks of taking supplements without personalized guidance. She shares her own experience with hormone regulating supplements and emphasizes the importance of working with a professional who understands your body and hormones. The conversation also touches on the topic of juicing and its effects on the skin. Daina explains that while juicing can provide concentrated nutrients, it can also be high in sugar and recommends pairing it with protein or healthy fats to slow down the absorption of glucose. The conversation concludes with Daina sharing her personal journey with chronic fatigue and how it led her to a career in holistic nutrition.
