Summary

In today’s episode, Dr. Ellis and I discuss key factors contributing to weight loss struggles, the impact of stress on adrenal health, and the often overlooked issue of PMS. Dr. Ellis highlights the importance of addressing diet, exercise, and hormone balance when it comes to weight loss. She emphasizes the role of insulin in weight gain and the significance of maintaining a balanced diet with adequate protein intake. Understanding the impact of hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, on metabolism is crucial for achieving sustainable weight loss. We then discuss the vital role of adrenal glands in managing stress and the impact of chronic stress on overall health. Dr. Ellis shares valuable insights on the importance of managing stress through lifestyle changes, including proper hydration, adequate sleep, and incorporating adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha and holy basil. Addressing adrenal dysfunction requires a holistic approach that goes beyond just supplementation. One of the most interesting parts of our discussion revolved around the normalization of PMS symptoms. Dr. Ellis emphasizes that experiencing severe PMS symptoms, such as debilitating cramps and mood swings, is not normal and should not be dismissed. She teaches us the various factors contributing to PMS, including hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and environmental toxins. Understanding the root causes of PMS is essential for improving women's overall well-being. This episode with Dr. Ellis sheds light on the interconnected nature of weight loss struggles, adrenal health, and menstrual health. It's crucial for women to prioritize their health, listen to their bodies, and seek professional guidance when experiencing persistent symptoms. Tune in now to learn more!
