In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole Rivera explores the hidden causes behind menopausal symptoms, emphasizing that hormone imbalances often stem from issues like blood sugar dysregulation and liver dysfunction. She explains how conditions such as insulin resistance and fatty liver can exacerbate menopausal experiences and underscores the importance of addressing these root causes rather than just the symptoms.
Dr. Nicole also discusses the impact of gut health and undiagnosed infections on reproductive issues, challenging conventional approaches that focus solely on hormone replacement therapy. By understanding the body's natural adaptations to stressors, listeners can gain insights into more effective and holistic ways to manage menopause and improve overall health. Tune in to learn more!

Root Causes of Menopausal Symptoms: Blood sugar dysregulation and liver dysfunction are major factors influencing menopausal symptoms, often more than hormonal imbalances themselves.
