Beat Perimenopause Fatigue & Weight Gain: Top Nutrient Deficiencies and How to Fix Them with Louise Digby

Angela is joined by Louise Digby, who discusses her passion for helping women optimise their metabolism and harmonise their hormones. Louise shares her journey of specialising in hormonal health after noticing common challenges women face with weight loss, especially after the age of 35. Louise also delves into the key factors that can hinder weight loss, such as gut health, toxic load, and nutrient deficiencies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gut health, high toxic load, and nutrient deficiencies are common factors that can hinder weight loss and hormonal balance in women. Nutritional insufficiencies, such as B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, can significantly impact metabolism and lead to symptoms like fatigue and hair issues. Addressing cravings by listening to the body's signals for specific nutrients can help improve overall health and reduce the reliance on unhealthy foods. Fasting can be a useful tool for weight loss and health improvement, but it should be introduced gradually and monitored closely, especially for individuals with high stress levels or intense exercise routines. BEST MOMENTS "Belly fat isn't caused by greed or laziness and overindulgence. It's typically caused by an imbalance in hormones, namely high cortisol and sometimes insulin as well." "I think it's really important to have the foundations in place before incorporating fasting. It can add an extra stress burden, especially for highly stressed individuals." "Food really is information. It's nutrition. We need to focus on adding in the stuff that we're lacking as opposed to obsessing over what we can't eat."
