Perimenopause Guide: Managing Symptoms, Emotional Changes, and Weight Gain During Hormonal Shifts :: Dr. Kamilia Smith [Ep 511]

Have you ever been to your doctor or OBGYN and felt that your symptoms were dismissed? Do you know how to identify the main issues of perimenopause and menopause?

In this follow up episode with Dr. Kamilia Smith, we continue our deep dive into perimenopause, exploring how it impacts women's emotions, physical changes, and overall well-being. She clearly breaks down some of the hormonal fluctuations women go through and what some potential treatments are for each of those symptoms in a very nuanced field. Perimenopause can bring emotional upheaval and weight gain, exacerbated by hormonal changes that are often ignored. The stress of the "sandwich generation" — caring for our aging parents while raising children — adds to the emotional load.

We cover so many helpful topics-
  • Eggs and AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
  • FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): these levels help indicate how your ovaries are functioning
  • How the term bioidentical hormones is often used as a marketing tool
  • Hormonal changes, along with sleep disruptions, decreased mobility, and shifts in eating habits, all contribute to weight gain during perimenopause
  • Mental health can take a hit during this stage, with symptoms like mood swings, insomnia, attention deficit, and night sweats. Learning how to manage these mental health changes is critical to our health

Read Aloud Revival :: Sarah Mackenzie [Ep 125]

Maybe you’ve heard you should read-aloud to your preschoolers, but do you know the benefits of reading aloud to your competent readers? Educators and communication experts have discovered that: “Because linguistic information is best stored in the brain auditorily, children who have had read to them reliably correct and sophisticated language patterns for many years are much more likely to develop competence in written (and verbal) communication skills.” –Andrew Padewa Not only does reading aloud help with communication skills, but families bond while they share a story. All that’s great. But with our busy lives how do we add one. more. thing to our schedules? Well, once again I have good news! This week’s podcast guest, Sarah Mackenzie, has created the “Read-Aloud Revival” podcast and community. She gives moms practical tips and fabulous resources to make reading aloud not only possible, but enjoyable! In this episode, Sarah eases our guilt and helps set realistic expectations for how reading aloud looks. Bonus, she shares great ideas for using audio books that actually give moms a much needed break AND help your kids with their auditory comprehension skills. Cha ching! Can’t wait for you to share your favorite read-aloud books on Instagram this week. Use the hashtag #readaloudrevival and make sure to tag me to so I can see (@GodCenteredMom). What we chat about: Why Sarah starting reading aloud to her kiddos. An easy tip to attach reading with something you do every day. Letting go of unrealistic expectations and ideals of your time reading aloud. Figuring out the “why” behind you want to read-aloud with kids. Realizing that when boys’ hands are busy it doesn’t mean they aren’t listening. Remembering to keep the reading time short and that time adds up over days. Find books that you enjoyed as a kid, not just the ones you think you “should” read. Great ways to use audio books to share the story and connect as a family. Finding community who can support you in your pursuit. Why introverts are drawn to reading aloud to their kids. How to have great conversations with your kids over books you haven’t read with them. Encouragement to just get started reading, don’t worry about creating a formal plan.
