Ep. 148 - Perimenopause Left You Depleted? Minerals and Mitochondria with Caroline Alan

Not Your Mother's Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

Today I am joined by Caroline Alan, Mineral Enthusiast and passionate advocate for healthy humans! Caroline brings her excitement and deep knowledge of cellular function and the fuel required to feel good to the show. We talk about minerals, mitochondria, chronic health issues, and much more. And specifically, how women get mineral depleted and how we can rectify this.

If you have ever wanted to know what all the fuss was about glyphosate, Caroline breaks it down in a way that will leave you shocked and wondering how something like this can be approved for mass market. Our bodies don't make minerals, so we have to consume them via our diet. But can we actually absorb them if our gut health isn't great? On top of that, our food often arrives to our table depleted itself! How do we correct all of this? Listen in as Caroline tells all.
