Ep. 15 - Stronger Through the Change: How Strength Training and Hormones Protect Your Bones, Heart, and Brain

As women enter perimenopause and menopause, everything changes — energy, metabolism, mood, and muscle tone. But here’s the good news: you’re not powerless. In this empowering episode, Dr. Tammy Fogarty explains how strength training and hormones work together to protect your bones, heart, and brain through midlife and beyond. You’ll learn the real science behind estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — how these hormones protect your health — and what happens when they decline. Tammy also unpacks the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): when it helps, when it doesn’t, and how to make informed decisions with your doctor. If you’ve ever wondered why bone loss speeds up, why heart disease risk rises, or how to regain energy and confidence — this episode will give you the clarity (and motivation) to take action.   Follow @TammyFogartyPhD on Instagram for daily nutrition and hormone insights, and join The Reset Routine for a structured, supportive path to lasting results beyond medication.

Ep. 12 - The Skinny on Fats: Why All Fats Have a Place in Your Diet

For decades, fat was the villain of nutrition. From low-fat yogurt to fat-free cookies, we were told cutting fat would cut our risk of disease and help us lose weight. But research now shows fat was never the real problem—it’s the type and quality of fat that matters most. In this episode of The About Thyme Podcast, Dr. Tammy breaks down everything you need to know about fats: •        The difference between saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats •        Why unsaturated fats (like olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish) protect your heart and brain •        How to balance saturated fats without fearing them •        The truth about trans fats and why you should avoid them completely •        How healthy fats support blood sugar stability, hormone balance, gut health, and weight management Tammy also shares a personal story of the low-fat diet craze and why the “fat makes you fat” message was one of the biggest nutrition myths of our time. Achievable actions from this episode: •        Add 1–2 servings of unsaturated fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil, fatty fish) into your meals daily. •        Limit excess saturated fats to about 10% of your daily calories. •        Completely avoid trans fats by checking labels for “hydrogenated oils.” •        Aim for at least one source of omega-3s every day. It’s time to stop fearing fat and start using it to fuel your health, energy, and longevity. 👉 If this episode was helpful, follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with a friend who still thinks fat is the enemy.
