Ep. 407 Exploring Menopause: Ovarian Aging and Metabolic Health with Dr. Betty Murray

Everyday Wellness with Cynthia Thurlow ™

Today, I am excited to connect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Betty Murray. She is a women's health advocate, nutrition expert, PhD researcher, certified functional medicine practitioner, author, and speaker.

In our conversation, we dive into the menopause controversy, looking at mitochondrial health, the development of visceral fat, aging, and senescence. We explore infertility, premature ovarian insufficiency, metabolic derangement, and poor metabolic health in menopause. Dr. Betty provides a fascinating overview of liver health and phases one, two, and three of liver detoxification, and we explain the critical role of bile in formal detoxification. We also cover the gut microbiome, estrobolome, the significance of enzyme beta-glucuronidase, and weight loss resistance.

I am sure you will love this invaluable conversation with Dr. Betty Murray.
