Doctor, author, and influencer Amy Shah, MD, (@DrAmyShah), shares a nutritional, science-based protocol to minimize hormonal havoc, hot flashes, and night sweats and take on perimenopause and menopause with improved mood, energy, and health.
Hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, brain fog--the hormonal flux that comes with menopause and perimenopause may bring some notorious side effects, but that doesn't mean you have to feel miserable or settle for debilitating symptoms. This isn't your mother's menopause!
Double-board certified medical doctor Amy Shah shows you the power of targeted nutrition to manage the chaos that perimenopause and menopause can bring. There's a growing awareness about perimenopause, the period of hormonal changes leading up to menopause that can begin as early as your late 30s. Starting in perimenopause and continuing through menopause, your immune system, gut, and metabolism get out of balance as your hormones shift.
Dr. Shah's protocol supports your hormones by increasing key nutrients--including protein, fiber, probiotics, and vitamins and minerals--to realign and nourish your body and heal your gut-brain connection, helping to reduce and relieve unpleasant menopause symptoms while dramatically decreasing the risk of serious diseases from heart disease to depression to osteoporosis. It's as easy as 30-30-3:
- 30 grams of protein in your first meal to curb cravings
- 30 grams of fiber to diversify and strengthen the gut
- 3 probiotic foods to balance the microbiome.
Pairing this optimal diet with circadian fasting and science-supported lifestyle strategies and 20 recipes to maximize benefits, Hormone Havoc is your all-in-one guide to taking control of your health when you and your hormones feel out of control. You don't have to settle for feeling awful during perimenopause and menopause--Dr. Shah shows how you can not just feel like yourself again, but feel even better than before.
