Gary Brecka: Perimenopause Weight Gain, Anxiety and Poor Sleep (What Your Bloods Miss)

Gary Brecka and I get into intermittent fasting, estrogen dominance, belly bloat and anxiety in perimenopause, and how the right test can show you exactly what your body is missing. Ever feel like you're doing everything right, yet your lower belly won't shift and your mind won't switch off at night? So many women tell me this, and Gary gave me answers I hadn't heard from any other guest. I share how I found out I carry the MTHFR variant, something no one mentioned to me when I was pregnant. Gary explains why fasting can backfire when your HbA1c is already low, why the pace of your gut may matter more than food sensitivity tests, and how anxiety and gut issues can share one root. It's not about trying harder. It's about getting the right data. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN - Why the band around your lower belly, flanks and lower back can be estrogen-driven water retention, not fat, and how it can clear in 10 to 21 days - What happens when a narrow eating window reads as starvation, from a lower thyroid signal to a slower metabolism - How a 24-hour urine DUTCH test shows the estrogen to progesterone ratio a single blood test can miss - Why lying awake ruminating, brain fog until midday and gut issues can share one root, and why Gary looks at methylfolate first VALUABLE RESOURCES Connect with Gary Brecka: Instagram: http://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: http://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: http://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: http://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: http://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: http://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: http://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: http://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Watch the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: http://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: http://bit.ly/3RQftU0 - GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): http://bit.ly/48QJJrk - HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: http://bit.ly/41HJg6S - GENETIC METHYLATION TEST & SUPPLEMENTS (AUSTRALIA ONLY): http://healthmeister.com.au/pages/the-ultimate-human - SUPPLEMENTS (USA): http://theultimatehuman.com/shop/supplements ABOUT THE GUEST Gary Brecka is a renowned human biologist and longevity expert.
