Optimizing Hormone and Gut Health During Menopause with Dr. Michelle Sands

If you\u2019ve tried collagen for aging skin and haven\u2019t gotten the results you want... It's because most collagen is missing a critical ingredient. And without this \u201cmissing link,\u201d collagen WILL NOT WORK. With this "missing link" you can turn loose, saggy skin \u2013\u2013 into tight, glowing, younger-looking skin!

So what is that missing link I am talking about? VITAMIN C.

Of course, you may know Vitamin C as a powerful immune-boosting nutrient...

But did you know Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for anti-aging? You see, Vitamin C it's the "glue" that holds collagen together in your body. And if you're low in Vitamin C, well all of that collagen you're taking is pointless.

And here's the thing, not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal\u2026

If you\u2019re taking Vitamin C in capsule or tablet form, you are missing out on key nutrients as they will simply pass through your body without being absorbed (you can thank your stomach acid for that).

However, our friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called \u2018MICELLE LIPOSOMAL\u2019 technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream \u2013 proven to be 800% more efficient!

So, if your skin is looking older than you... And the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, and otherwise \u201cold-looking\u201d skin frustrates you\u2026

Give Purality Health's Micelle Liposomal Vitamin C a try! It's backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today!

This podcast is sponsored by our friends at Paleovalley. And they have a great new product that I've been taking every morning that is called NeuroEffect.\xa0

\xa0

NeuroEffect is an organic blend of 8 different mushrooms that will fuel your brain for all-day concentration, clarity, and enhanced brain function.\xa0

\xa0

I'm a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms \u2013 I take them daily to support my immune system and my brain health. But did you know that virtually every mushroom product on the market isn't actually the mushroom? It's the mycelium that they grow on grain. This means they barely contain any of the medicinal compounds that mushrooms have to offer and instead contain up to 50% starch!

The grain can cause gut irritation and can interfere with the absorption of the little mushrooms they do have in it.\xa0

\xa0

Paleovalley's NeuroEffect only uses whole mushrooms that are cultivated naturally and organically. They are then tested not once, but twice for quality, guaranteeing you get 2,100 mg of our neuro-supportive REAL mushrooms that have more than 26% beta-glucans ( the medicinal elements of a mushroom) in every serving, without the grains.

\xa0

Paleovalley has added an organic whole coffee fruit that has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate the production of a protein vital for focus, memory, and clarity. Which means no caffeine jitters, or feeling like you need an afternoon cup of coffee.\xa0

How does menopause affect the gut microbiome? Dr. Michelle Sands (a renowned naturopath, doctor of natural medicine, and anti-aging expert) is in conversation with Dr. Jockers today, and they\u2019re discussing ways to optimize hormone and gut health during menopause.\xa0

\xa0

They\u2019re talking about what menopause is, perimenopause too, and the range of symptoms women experience during this time in their life, from hot flashes and low libido to weight gain and headaches.\xa0

\xa0

The link between gut health and menopause is an important one for women wanting to age well. Getting good sleep and dealing with stress better are all related to our gut. The question of hormone replacement also comes up in this in insightful episode of Functional Nutrition. Please join us!

\u201cHormones are so much the chemical messengers of our body. So they\u2019re involved in pretty much every aspect of our life, from everything we eat, everything we think about, to how we sleep, the environment we interact with. That all interacts with our hormones. So they\u2019re very sensitive.\u201d ~ Dr. Michelle Sands
