Ep. 407 Exploring Menopause: Ovarian Aging and Metabolic Health with Dr. Betty Murray


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 treatment

  • Why Dr. Betty believes menopause should be considered a disease state

  • How research on women gets neglected

  • Why personalized care is an essential requirement for women in menopause

  • How menopause affects various aspects of health, including heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia

  • Why metabolic derangement occurs, and the domino effect it can create within the body

  • The role nutrition and lifestyle play in managing menopause symptoms

  • Why fiber, hydration, and adequate protein are essential for supporting liver function and detoxification

  • Dr. Betty explains the three-stage process the liver uses to metabolize hormones

  • The role bile plays in detoxification 

  • Why periodic detoxification is necessary for supporting liver function

 

“Most of the drugs given to women indiscriminately in conventional medicine have never been tested on women, and they are counterproductive in many cases.”

-Dr. Betty Murray
