All About Menopause with Claire Snowdon-Darling

Well, on July 24th, you can look online.

I interviewed Dr. Michael Guetta, and he was talking that we shouldn't interfere with the body's normal healing and detox mechanisms.

For example, if you're getting a fever and stuff, you don't want to suppress it by giving NSAIDs or pills.

If you've got a rash, well, the body isn't detoxing and getting stuff out through other emunctories.

So it uses the skin.

So we don't want to suppress that.

So that is one issue.

But one thing I noticed is women living together, their periods synchronize, I mean, usually probably to the more dominant women.

And I noticed going to a meditation course, everybody's period shortened.

Mine went to one and a half days, exactly two cramps, reliable, boom, that's it.

So those are interesting phenomena.

What's that all about?

Interesting phenomenon.

I've never even understood the syncing up part of it.

I'd love someone who's an evolutionary biologist to explain it to me because I don't really understand, apart from all the women getting impregnated at the same time.

I mean, you have some very exhausted men in a tribe.

I don't understand it from an evolution perspective.

But the getting shorter, the shorter bleeds, I would definitely say around meditation, that would just be this intense parasympathetic nervous system response, just calming down your whole body.

You see what I mean? So rather than then expanding it.

Okay, well, I guess it helped me avoid menopause symptoms.

Also, I noticed having more than one dog, their periods synchronize as well, so there's only a few weeks you've got to really worry about the males getting in.

That's really handy.

Just interesting.

Okay, so it sounds like menopause issue starts long before we get there, and these red flags are things we need to address.

Yes.
