Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2461898/fan_mail/new] Everything They Told You About Menopause Weight Loss Is Wrong | Ailsa Hitchens on Insulin, Protein, Sleep & Metabolism In this High Tea with Lady V year-in-review episode, the host revisits a conversation with UK menopause nutritionist and coach Ailsa Hitchens about her book, Everything They Told You About Menopause Weight Loss Is Wrong. They challenge the “eat less, move more” approach and discuss menopause weight gain as a metabolic and hormonal issue involving insulin, blood sugar spikes and crashes, inflammation, stress, sleep, and gut health. Hitchens emphasizes protein-rich breakfasts, fewer snacks and proper meal spacing, food order to blunt glucose spikes, and lifestyle basics like planning, strength training, and guided meditation to reduce stress. They also cover risks beyond weight—cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s—plus the role of estrogen/progesterone balance, detox via regular bowel movements, and practical habit-building tools like journaling. 00:00 Welcome and Season Tease 01:12 Menopause Weight Loss Myths 02:29 Why the Book Hits Home 03:27 Glucose Spikes and Prediabetes 05:42 Medical Advice Gone Wrong 06:54 Why She Wrote This Book 09:10 Midlife Weight and Health Risks 12:39 Making Change Stick 16:00 Calories Myth and Protein 17:57 Breakfast and Food Noise 23:31 Stop Grazing Start Resetting 27:13 Metabolic Health and Longevity 32:13 Gut Bacteria and Fiber 35:25 Food Variety and Journaling 39:19 Seasonal Mood Triggers 40:30 Rewriting Your Health Rules 42:35 Cycle Syncing Food Exercise 45:00 Estrogen Balance And Gut 46:49 Everyday Detox Basics 50:29 Self Care Without Guilt 55:18 Stress Metabolism Explained 59:27 Meditation And HRV Tracking 01:04:01 Testing Versus Basics 01:06:57 Sleep Planning Tipping Points 01:12:02 Protein Breakfast For Stability 01:14:21 Wrap Up Resources Disclaimer www.AilsaHichens.com Thanks for listening!

Louise also shares being diagnosed with a large, unruptured brain aneurysm discovered during stroke testing, facing delays in the regional system before urgent open brain surgery in Sydney.

Reliving - Just Don't Pee Yourself- Our Pelvic floor at it's finest!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2461898/fan_mail/new] Tesla Chair Therapy: Pelvic Floor, Back Pain & Incontinence Relief (Plus Postpartum Core Support) Agnes discusses a Tesla Chair/Tesla Former treatment plan she typically recommends as 10 sessions (2–3 times per week), noting that results require multiple sessions and ongoing maintenance. She shares a client story in which the patient initially chose a five-session package but upgraded to 10 after reporting dramatically better sleep, less nighttime fidgeting, improved comfort, and an added benefit of dropping a dress and pants size; the client later aggravated her back at work, paused sessions to rest, then returned and again experienced improved sleep. They explain that the non-invasive treatment is done fully clothed via magnetic stimulation (up to 10 cm penetration) and can strengthen pelvic floor, lower back, and core, with potential uses for urinary and fecal incontinence, hemorrhoids, postpartum recovery (starting six weeks postpartum with obstetric clearance), diastasis recti support, glute work, and benefits for men (including post-prostatectomy). 00:00 How Many Sessions 19:45 Client Results Story 20:54 Weight Loss Expectations 21:58 Back Injury Break 22:52 Who It Helps 23:26 Postpartum Timing 24:41 Non Invasive Chair 25:30 Glutes And Veins 26:28 Diastasis Recti Help 28:21 When It Doesnt Work 29:08 Maintenance And Types 30:24 Hemorrhoids Function 32:06 Why It Matters 33:29 Wrap Up Disclaimer Thanks for listening!
