Today, I am excited to connect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Betty Murray. She is a women's health advocate, nutrition expert, PhD researcher, certified functional medicine practitioner, author, and speaker. In our conversation, we dive into the menopause controversy, looking at mitochondrial health, the development of visceral fat, aging, and senescence. We explore infertility, premature ovarian insufficiency, metabolic derangement, and poor metabolic health in menopause. Dr. Betty provides a fascinating overview of liver health and phases one, two, and three of liver detoxification, and we explain the critical role of bile in formal detoxification. We also cover the gut microbiome, estrobolome, the significance of enzyme beta-glucuronidase, and weight loss resistance. I am sure you will love this invaluable conversation with Dr. Betty Murray.IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:How menopause gets misconstrued as a natural state that women should endure without treatmentWhy Dr. Betty believes menopause should be considered a disease stateHow research on women gets neglectedWhy personalized care is an essential requirement for women in menopauseHow menopause affects various aspects of health, including heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementiaWhy metabolic derangement occurs, and the domino effect it can create within the bodyThe role nutrition and lifestyle play in managing menopause symptomsWhy fiber, hydration, and adequate protein are essential for supporting liver function and detoxificationDr. Betty explains the three-stage process the liver uses to metabolize hormonesThe role bile plays in detoxification Why periodic detoxification is necessary for supporting liver functionConnect with Cynthia Thurlow  Follow on TwitterInstagramLinkedInCheck out Cynthia’s websiteSubmit your questions to [email protected]Connect with Dr. Betty Murray On her websiteOn her telemedicine platformOn InstagramThe Menopause Mastery podcast
