Summary

Remember being told you should start dieting if you could “pinch an inch” around your midsection? (Thanks Special K cereal ads…) Growing up, our bellies were often made a point of shame as they were poked, pinched, and otherwise derided. For many, that shame gets deeper in the menopause transition. That urge to suck it in and suck it up when our body image suffers has damaged more than our psyches (though that’s bad enough!). It’s damaged our relationship with our bodies–and even our breath, which is not only the very essence of life, but also one of our greatest tools for relaxation and recovery, and for helping manage the challenges of menopause. This week, we sit down with Jill Miller, author of Body by Breath and go deep into the power of breath, the emotional and physical (hello, tight muscles) factors that can constrict our breathing, and, of course, how we can fully access our breath to optimize our health and performance.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:31.5	Hello, strong, feisty women. I hope you all are well.
0:36.4	So before we get to it, I have just a couple of housekeeping
0:39.5	items on the top of the show here. A few of you reached out to me following the latest
0:45.3	hormone episode with Dr. Carla DiGi-Gerolimo with just a couple of questions and concerns,
0:50.2	and I just wanted to address them at the top here. The biggest one was women wondering if they were taking enough progesterone
0:57.1	because they were taking 100 milligrams of micronized progesterone.
1:01.9	When Carla mentioned that 200 milligrams of micronized progesterone was the gold standard,
1:08.2	and that's what you see in a lot of the packaging and a lot of the literature.
1:11.4	And I got a number of DMs about that. So I took it straight to Carla. And, you know, she said
1:16.8	the longstanding quote unquote standard for uterine protection and what has a wealth of data
1:22.5	behind it is that 200 milligrams orally. But more recently, there has been data suggesting that 100 milligrams of micronized
1:32.4	progesterone orally is adequate.
1:34.8	There's just less data behind that because it's relatively new.
1:38.1	But in the case of combined oral therapies, especially like by Jouva, which uses 100 milligrams of progesterone.
1:46.7	She would be completely comfortable with that.
1:49.7	And of course, you can always talk to your doctor for their reasoning behind their dosing,
1:54.5	which she also suggested in that show.
1:57.2	Where she was less comfortable with those lower doses of progesterone is especially around gels and patches
