#1007: Why 55% Of Women Under 35 Are Post-Menopausal

Histamine intolerance spikes in the four to seven days before your period, because progesterone and estrogen drop together and you lose DAO support and GABA buffering at the same time. Liz & Becca break down why perimenopause makes it worse, whether ox bile and digestive enzymes are safe with a gallbladder, and why a normal hs-CRP doesn't rule out inflammation. Hives, migraines, insomnia, bloating, constipation, anovulatory cycles and mast cells — the hormone drop is the trigger, not the cause.***Want our Perimenopause and Histamine Protocol?

Why isn't my body healing? Dr. Tabatha Barber — a triple board-certified OBGYN and robotic surgeon who walked away from the operating room — says the variable nobody tests for is the story running in your head. Liz and Becca get into negative self-talk and inflammation, why an emotion only lasts 90 seconds, what happens when a doctor tells a 24-year-old with PCOS she'll never conceive, and why your genes load the gun but don't fire it. If your labs are "normal" and you're still exhausted, start here.***Connect with Dr. Tabatha: Instagram | Web***Lets Connect:Connect with Liz: Instagram | YoutubeConnect with Becca: Instagram | YoutubeJoin our private community: FitMom Society***Have questions?

You can't build muscle while your body is fighting something. Liz &Becca break down why body recomposition takes years instead of a 12-week cycle, how gut dysfunction, autoimmunity, and high cortisol shut down muscle building entirely, and why under-eating is the most common reason women train hard and stay soft. Plus what a calorie deficit — and a GLP-1 — actually costs your lean mass, why "bulky" isn't what you think, and how to train for the season of life you're actually in. Blunt, clinical, and not what the fitness industry sells you.***Lets Connect:Connect with Liz: Instagram | YoutubeConnect with Becca: Instagram | YoutubeJoin our private community: FitMom Society***Have questions?

Gut health doesn't stall on food quality — it stalls on the four things around the food. Liz & Becca cover why a daily probiotic works against diversity, how much fiber and how many different plant foods you actually need, what daily elimination should look and feel like, why volume of water without minerals leaves you more dehydrated, and why digestion shuts down in fight-or-flight. Includes the FUT2 gene, estrogen recirculation, and a salivation test you can run at your next meal.***Lets Connect:Connect with Liz: Instagram | YoutubeConnect with Becca: Instagram | YoutubeJoin our private community: FitMom Society***Have questions?

Hormone protocols fail when the gut and immune system are still inflamed — and functional health coach Erin Trier learned it the expensive way. She spent years with good functional practitioners who all started with hormones while her body stayed stuck: 40 pounds gained with no habit change, fatigue she describes as a weighted blanket, libido gone, skin flaring. Nobody had run gut testing. Liz Roman and Becca Chilczenkowski walk through what changed when the sequence changed — MRT results, MCAS, immune over-activation, and how a mom of four with a medically complex child actually adheres to a hard protocol.

Low testosterone in women starts far earlier than anyone tells you — 25% gone by the mid-20s, half by the mid-30s. Liz & Becca break down why testosterone, not estrogen, is the first hormone to go, what oral birth control does to free testosterone and SHBG, why 80% of autoimmune disease shows up in women, and what "normal range" actually means when the reference population is post-menopausal. Both hosts share their own labs, including a total testosterone of 8. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

NAD supplements, IVs, and patches are everywhere — and for a lot of women they do nothing or make things worse. Liz Roman and Becca Chilczenkowski explain why: an enzyme called CD38 consumes NAD and gets more active the more inflamed you are, so a big IV dose in an inflamed body can drive inflammation, anxiety, and autoimmune flares instead of energy. Inside: what NAD actually does, the three mitochondrial genes that decide if it works, NR vs NMN, and the 663-Dalton reason patches don't absorb. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Your GLP-1 stopped working — and it probably isn't the drug. Peptide educator Hunter Williams joins Liz and Becca to explain why tirzepatide plateaus look identical to starvation, why post-menopausal women on HRT lost 35% more weight at the same dose, and why Retatrutide is the wrong first choice for a stressed nervous system. Plus: the five buckets to fix before stacking anything, low-dose naltrexone as a tolerance reset, thyroid shutdown from chronic dieting, and how to actually vet a peptide vendor.   Connect with Hunter: Instagram | YouTube | Web | Podcast *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Anxiety in perimenopause isn't a mood problem — it's a clearance problem. Liz Roman and Becca Chilczenkowski break down COMT, GAD1 and FUT2: the three genes that decide how fast you clear adrenaline, whether you can build GABA, and whether your gut can grow the bacteria that make it. Plus why L-glutamine can make anxiety worse, why oral GABA mostly doesn't work, the lab markers hiding in plain sight on your standard panel, and why "your genes didn't change — your estrogen did." *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?
