Estrogen plays a role in the amount of time spent in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and affects serotonin levels. 

00:55:00 - Vasopressin and Urination, 
Vasopressin is a hormone that helps regulate urine flow during sleep. 

00:57:47 - Tips for Better Sleep, 
To improve sleep quality, keep a journal of liquid and food intake and track transit time. Limit alcohol and caffeine intake, elevate legs before bed, and pee right before sleep. 

00:48:09 - Women and Growth Hormone, 
Women release growth hormone pulses differently than men and can achieve peak growth hormone secretion faster with resistance training or core temperature manipulation.

24 Jul 2023Concussion as a Growth Opportunity with Paul Attia – Part 201:24:01

In this part of the conversation, Paul discusses how he adapted his exercise routine due to his concussion symptoms - walking became his main form of exercise. He focused on progress and embracing what he could do instead of focussing on what he had lost.

He also shares his new interest in functional neurology and the positive impact of bodywork on the brain. We both emphasize the importance of listening and supporting others in their process. With the right mindset, coping with a concussion and external events can actually lead to personal growth.

“At the end of the day, I wanted to be love for me, and I wanted to have friends. And it wasn’t until I can love me enough – pour into Lisa enough, a firm Lisa enough – to say, ‘Hold on. I’m enough woman. I’m smart enough. I’m loving enough.’” (15:11)

Episode Overview:

00:01:32 – Why Lifting Weights is Important, 
Dr. Stephanie explains the importance of resistance training beyond aesthetics, particularly for older adults. 

00:06:56 – Osteoporosis and Bone Health, 
Dr. Stephanie delves into the topic of osteoporosis and how bones change as we age. 

00:10:41 – Exponential Decline in Aging, 
Dr. Stephanie discusses the exponential decline in aging and how our physical abilities can rapidly degrade if we are not careful. 

00:13:32 – Importance of Speed, 
Dr. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of maintaining speed as we age, as it is often the first physical ability to decline. 

00:15:21 – Importance of Speed and Strength, 
Dr. Estima emphasizes the importance of practicing speed and strength to prevent injuries and maintain overall health, especially in later years. 

00:17:09 – Benefits of Weightlifting, 
Weightlifting not only helps build muscle and improve appearance but also decreases the likelihood of pharmaceutical use in later years.

00:21:17 – Hormonal Changes and Weight Training, 
Hormones like testosterone and growth hormone decline in perimenopause and menopause, but regular weightlifting can increase the post-exercise rise in testosterone and help reduce adiposity. 

00:23:35 – Newbie Gains and Resistance Training, 
Dr. Estima discusses how even those who have never trained before and are in their 40s or 50s can still experience significant progress through resistance training.

00:27:51 – Growth Hormone and Lean Body Mass, 
Dr. Estima explains how growth hormone helps improve lean body mass and reduce adiposity, and how weightlifting can increase peak growth hormone secretion.

00:30:22 – What Defines a Tough Workout?, 
Dr. Stephanie explains what constitutes a tough workout, stating that it means you are finished afterwards and have done more sets than usual. 

00:31:12 – Muscle Growth and Estrogen, 
When thinking about growing skeletal muscle, Dr. Stephanie explains that it is regulated by satellite cell activity, gene transcription, and protein translation, which are all influenced by growth hormone. 

00:32:36 – Estrogen Levels and Perimenopause, 
Dr. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of estrogen in growth hormone production and explains how estrogen levels decrease in women during late perimenopause. 

00:39:44 – Cortisol and Exercise, 
Dr. Stephanie explains that exercise is an acute stress that can cause acute DNA damage, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers to increase, elevated stress hormones, and other effects. 

00:43:17 – Stress vs. Demands, 
Dr. Stephanie encourages listeners to view stress as demands and to work on making themselves stronger to rise up

00:44:51 – Weight Loss Strategies, 
Dr. Estima discusses weight loss and fat loss strategies, emphasizing the importance of expectation management and finding a restriction method that is easiest for an individual to adhere to over a long term. 

00:52:34 – Factors Influencing Caloric Intake, 
Dr. Estima explains various factors that influence caloric intake, including appetite, the hormonal status of an individual, the type of food consumed, education, and culture. 

00:56:14 – Factors Influencing Caloric Expenditure, 
Dr. Estima discusses factors that influence caloric expenditure, including basal metabolic rate, age, dieting history, muscle mass, genetics, exercise frequency, intensity, and duration, and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). 

00:57:42 – Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT), 
Dr. Estima explains the concept of NEAT, which is the spontaneous movement an individual engages in over the course of a day, such as fidgeting or toe-tapping. 

00:58:16 – Thermal Effect of Food, 
Dr. Estima discusses the thermal effect of food, which is the amount of energy required to

00:59:44 – Understanding Caloric Density, 
The caloric density of fat is much higher than that of protein and carbohydrates, which means that it is easier to consume more calories from fat than from other macronutrients.

01:01:20 – Muscle Protein Synthesis, 
Muscle protein synthesis is a process that happens post-exercise or post-protein consumption, and it can lead to muscle hypertrophy. 

01:03:12 – Creatine Monohydrate, 
Creatine monohydrate is a supplement that can help with muscle building, muscle performance, and muscle recovery. It is involved in the phosphocreatine system, and it should be taken daily for about a month to saturate muscle stores.

01:04:52 – Necessary Supplements, 
While Creatine monohydrate is an important supplement for muscle building, muscle performance, and muscle recovery, other supplements such as Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Omega-3s are important for overall health and wellness.

01:06:03 – Conclusion, 
Dr. Stephanie Estima thanks listeners for their time and focus, and encourages them to leave reviews and ratings on iTunes and Spotify.

A Masterclass on Perimenopause

Why Fasting for Women is Different with Dr. Stephanie Estima

Episode Overview:

00:01:26 - Diet and Training for Wedding,
Dr. Stephanie's diet leading up to her wedding was not much different from her usual routine. She eats protein and carbs before and after workouts and relied on supplements to get her veggies. Training stayed consistent with five days of weights and two days of cardio per week.

00:09:02 - Having Fun while Being Disciplined,
Dr. Stephanie shares a story about how she hired a coach to help her get in touch with her feminine side. She was given an exercise to slow down and savor a piece of chocolate, which taught her the importance of being present and attuned to her senses.

00:10:27 - Boudoir Shoot and Food,
Dr. Stephanie is preparing for a boudoir shoot and is trying to be mindful of her diet. She didn't have any shapewear at her wedding, but did try to drink a gallon of water each day leading up to it. She also ate wedding cake for three days after the ceremony.

00:13:15 - Savoring Bliss,
Dr. Stephanie shares how savoring the bliss is a learned skill for someone like her who is very driven and always striving for success. Slowing down and being present can help people attune to their senses

00:14:56 - Deepening Love After Marriage
Dr. Stephanie shares her experience of feeling a deeper sense of commitment and love towards her husband after getting officially married.

00:17:10 - Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Dr. Stephanie discusses her views on HRT and mentions that she is not currently on it but is not against it. She emphasizes the importance of understanding lab results before deciding to take HRT.

00:21:51 - Creatine Supplementation
Dr. Stephanie explains what creatine is and how it is used to regenerate ATP within the cell. She recommends taking 3-5 grams of creatine daily to maintain average creatine storage and suggests loading the cell by taking 20 grams per day for 6-7 days or 5 grams daily for a month to saturate muscle.

00:25:48 - What is Creatine?
Dr. Stephanie explains that creatine is the primary constituent of phosphocreatine, which is found in skeletal muscle.

00:29:57 - Understanding Ozempic,
Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses Ozempic, a medication that mimics the action of GLP one and helps to increase insulin secretion. It can improve glycemic control, reduce appetite, and make you feel fuller.

00:35:40 - Estrogen Dominance and Reduced Blood Flow,
Dr. Estima explains that age, lack of ovulation, body weight changes, too much exercise, pregnancy, and stress can cause a woman's period to become lighter.

00:44:24 - Understanding Perimenopause,
Dr. Estima shares the classic definition of perimenopause, which is the time leading up to menopause when a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate.

00:50:11 - Importance of Self-Advocacy,
Dr. Estima emphasizes the importance of thinking critically and advocating for oneself when it comes to healthcare decisions.

00:45:48 - Menstrual Migraines and Perimenopause Symptoms,
Dr. Estima discusses menstrual migraines caused by unchecked estrogen in the luteal phase, swollen and painful breasts due to low progesterone, and subtle yet significant signs of perimenopause like back pain, joint stiffness, and reduced libido.

00:48:15 - Intermittent Fasting,
Dr. Estima still practices intermittent fasting (IF) as a way to control calories, improve autophagy, and promote hormonal balance. However, her fasting window is gentle and lasts for 12-14 hours at most, with most fasting happening while sleeping.

00:51:54 - Seed Cycling,
Dr. Estima shares a neutral stance on seed cycling, acknowledging its potential benefits for some women's menstrual cycles, but also highlighting that other whole foods like oysters and Brazil nuts can also provide the same nutrients for hormonal support.

00:56:23 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts,
Dr. Estima emphasizes the often overlooked role of mobility and proprioception in overall fitness and movement.

00:58:44 - Stability Issues during Exercise,
Dr. Estima uses the example of an overhead dumbbell press to explain how stability issues in the scapula can impact exercise performance and progress.

01:00:10 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts,
Dr. Stephanie discusses how focusing on hip and ankle mobility before leg day has become a regular part of her workout routine.

01:02:38 - Controlling the Weight,
Dr. Stephanie talks about the importance of control in weightlifting. She explains that the weight should not control you, and that freezing at any point in the range of motion, such as during a squat, is a sign of good control.

01:04:41 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts (Part 2),
Dr. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of mobility workouts again, stating that they should be an essential part of anyone's workout routine.

01:05:33 - Audience Feedback and Closing Remarks,

31 Jan 2022How To Crack The Cancer Code, Beat Genetics, and Stop Cancer Before It Starts with Dr. Jason Fung01:06:21

Today we speak to Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and world-renowned expert on fasting.  We discuss his book, The Cancer Code, a departure from traditional medical approaches which view cancer as a series of genetic mutations, or unregulated growth.  We aim to answer the question What Exactly Is Cancer? Why does it occur in every cell of the body and how is it found in all mammals, and species other than our own?  We explore the shortcomings of the somatic mutation theory and present a new evolutionary paradigm for cancer - that it is a return to an earlier form of cells.  We explore the differences between multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms and the hallmarks that cancer shares with each.  We discuss the Warburg effect and cancer’s seemingly bizarre preference for glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen.  We also explore how lactic acid production may lend an evolutionary advantage to the progression of cancer. We overlay genetic mutations with environmental contributions- the seed (genetic) and the soil (environment) as an explanation for how cancer can grab hold and become metastatic.  We finish talking about solutions we can all use through dietary modifications including fasting, improving glucose control, and insulin sensitivity.  Share this episode far and wide for anyone you think will benefit from this potentially life-saving information.  Loving the show? Please rate and leave us a review!
