Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and am so excited to have Dr. Liz Lyster on the show today.

167: Menopause, bioidentical hormones, and women’s health with Dr. Liz Lyster

Here’s what we talk about in today’s episode:

– Why is menopause happening earlier and earlier?

– What are some signs that you’re in perimenopause

– Should women with cancer in their family be scared about hormone replacement?

– Her thoughts on bio-identical hormones, including pellet therapy

and so.much.more

Here’s more about Dr. Lyster and her background:

Dr. Liz Lyster is an OB/GYN medical doctor, best-selling author and speaker, and an expert in perimenopause and menopause. In her private practice in the San Francisco Bay area, she helps women and men in midlife and beyond lose weight, have more energy, increase their motivation and drive, and generally feel great.

She graduated from Cornell University, went to medical school at UC Irvine, and got her Masters degree at UCLA in Community Health Education.

Dr. Liz walks her own talk – when she turned 50 a few years ago, she celebrated by climbing to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa.
Dr. Liz has two awesome young adult sons, and enjoys hiking and Argentine tango with her amazing husband.

Connect with her on her website and on Instagram.

If any of my fellow health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go one to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don’t currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don’t begin on this path. They’re friends who are passionate to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start an entirely new career.

I’m still obsessed with my sauna blanket. This is one of my favorite ways to relax and sweat it out.
