#974 3 Days, Zero Food: What a Water Fast Does to Your Brain, Belly & Energy Levels with Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have a conversation with menopause educator Andrea Donsky. Andrea shares her 14-year journey through perimenopause, highlighting symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and sleep disturbances. We discuss the importance of understanding and managing these symptoms through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplements. Andrea emphasizes whole foods and strength training, while I introduce the concept of "Vitamin G" for gratitude. Andrea's research, including surveys with over 5,000 women, underscores the need for better education on menopause. This episode aims to empower women over 40 to take charge of their health.

Today you'll not only learn what some of them are but also how to thrive regardless! 100 is a big number and probably, so much higher than most would assume exist. Andrea co-founded Morphus, a company born from the desire to help women of age get through the effects of menopause more gracefully. Based on their research, they found that 20% of women don't realize or fully know what stage of perimenopause or menopause they’re even in.

When you have a fatty liver, every other function in your body becomes compromised.  A fatty liver also means a fatty pancreas, and other fatty organs. This also means you have excess visceral fat! Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. While the liver naturally contains some fat, when more than 5-10% of its weight is fat, it can lead to complications. Fatty liver disease is generally categorized into two main types: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Fat accumulation due to excessive alcohol consumption. In the United States, it is estimated that 10% to 20% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of NAFLD in children has been increasing, particularly due to the rising rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Among children with obesity, the prevalence of NAFLD is significantly higher, ranging from 30% to 50%. Approximately 30 years ago, in the early 1990s, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was relatively rare in children, with an estimated prevalence of around 1% to 3%!! Here are 10 health complications that can occur with fatty liver disease…. 1. Liver Inflammation and Damage 2. Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes 3. Cardiovascular Diseases 4. Kidney Disease 5. Sleep Apnea 6. Increased Risk of Certain Cancers 7. Hormonal Imbalances 8. Fatigue and Malaise 9. Nutrient Deficiencies 10.
