Balanced Bites: Talk on Food, Fitness, & Life with Liz Wolfe

#463: Certified Hormone Specialist and Transformation Nutrition Coach Karen Martel joins us today! Karen is the host of the top 100 rated women’s health podcast “The Other Side of Weight Loss,” where she helps women decode the complexities of female fat loss and hormone imbalance. Inspired by her own health struggles, Karen has developed a bold, innovative approach to women’s hormone health and weight management. Her passion lies in empowering women to balance and optimize their hormones, particularly during peri and post-menopause, to overcome weight loss resistance and achieve their health goals. In this episode, we dive into various types of hormone testing, the benefits of phytoestrogens, the importance of hormone cycling, and the hormone that will transform your skin! We also discuss the challenges women face in receiving proper hormonal care from medical providers, the alarming reality that so few doctors are trained in perimenopause, when you should actually start hormone therapy (it may surprise you!), and the most important hormone for women. This is a must-listen for women in midlife!
