- As a woman in her childbearing years transitions to perimenopause and eventually enters menopause, a host of physiological changes happen inside her body-starting with the natural decline in estrogen and progesterone, which can pose challenges to the brain and body later in life if not properly supported.
More and more women are becoming curious about better managing this phase of life. Often, their questions range from hormone replacement therapy to fasting, meal timing, protein intake, exercise, strength training, how to get quality sleep, and so much more.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Cynthia Thurlow to answer all your questions regarding hormonal health and how middle-aged women can tailor their diet and lifestyle to feel empowered and set themselves up for optimal health.
Dhru delves into Cynthia’s personal life and asks her what she does to keep her hormones balanced, maintain her body composition, and prioritize self-care and sleep (which starts when she wakes up in the morning). They also discuss hot topics like drinking alcohol, when to take a caffeine break, progesterone therapy, and how to create an intermittent fasting practice that works best for you.
Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project, and international speaker, with over 13 million views for her second TEDx talk (“Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique”). With over 20 years of experience in health and wellness, Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and nutritional health and has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, Medium, Entrepreneur, and The Megyn Kelly Show.

-Signs that you’ve overextended yourself or are out of balance

If your 15-year-old is having trouble sleeping and wants to take melatonin maybe he shouldn’t be drinking espresso after school?🤷🏻♂️
I love Cynthia's advice about fish oil supplements. (Instead of taking Omega 3 supplements, she recommends eating at least one fatty-fish meal per week.) I have always worried about the rancidity of the fats in fish supplements. It seems so much more natural to just eat one serving of wild salmon a week.
What supplements would be best for someone with a good health between 30 to 35 to save ourselves in the future from reducing hormones etc
I am almost 71 and have never even thought about having my hormones checked. Although about 13 years ago I did mention it to my doctor (female doctor too) and she she said
" Hormones, what hormones, you don't have any! ) I didn't think that was very positive & thought ok, I feel good so don't worry about it. But, I am one of those people who rarely go to the doctor. I do not have annual checkups and on no medication. It would be about 6 years since had any blood tests done and they were ok. I am only a few kilos overweight. Walk 3 ks most days, do some strength training using body weight ( pull ups, push ups etc ) and pretty active in the garden, go fishing, camping etc. I eat a reasonable amount of protein after listening to Gabrielle Lyon. My memory has never been great but I think that is because I am almost always thinking of something else & not concentrating. But maybe I should get my hormones checked. Just have to find a good doctor as live in a small town in Tasmania, Australia. I am really enjoying listening to your talks Cynthia. I have always thought fasting was a great healer. I do intermittent fasting and have done several 24 to 36 hour fasts over the years. Thank you for another great podcast.
yes, get them checked, it is important.
Find a NAMS certified provider (North American Menopause Society); it is not unreasonable to ask to have your hormones checked at all :)
It's easy when you have stability and money
Truvani makes a good natural deodorant (citrus) or Attitude super leaves - Orange or olive leaves. Super knowledgeable woman! 💪💪💪love it!
Cynthia feels like my twin.. I love everything addressed in this podcast. I can relate to her on almost everything except I love coffee 😂. Thank you for touching on the plant based diet relative to insulin resistance. She has great insight on setting your core basics well before adding in all the extras.
Thank you, I'm so glad our discussion was so relatable!
So informative, the breadth covered is fantastic. Dr Thurlow is so clear in how she delivers her information . Any thoughts on vitamin D supplementation? Thank you so much , Caroline , Surrey, UK
I would ensure you have your levels tested; we like to see Vitamin D levels optimized >50 ng/ml here in the US (25-hydroxy vitamin D test)
"I had to dumb myself down" - Cynthia "the female Scott Stiner" Thurlow.
Really good podcast. I think the most important thing she repeated in this podcast was to experiment for yourself. Figure out what works best for you. Too often, people want a pre-packaged solution to their problems, which is understandable. However, there's a good chance that solution won't be the best for you.
Great content. Unfortunately I can’t take melatonin because it causes seizures.
Tell us who does your Botox and fillers.
I see a provider in the Washington, DC area
I can't take melatonin either because one of the side effects listed for my blood pressure medicine, Telmisartin, is "death".
Take magnesium before bed. It works really well to get a good night sleep
Really good talk. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Love Cynthia’s content - however the interviewer did a really good job of ensuring a breadth of topics was covered
So glad you enjoyed it!
Dhru you mention you drink yerba mate as source of caffeine....
Is that right??always wonder if yerba mate breaks the fasting...
Oh my your splurge in carbs are sweet potatoes and blueberries 👀
Mine too!!! Satisfaction and benefits!!!
Haha, mine is ice cream, cake, chocolate etc...lol
The only people who find that so shocking should realize this is a wake up call that you’re eating like shit, are poisoning your body, and have serious self control problems .
@@sanjayaiyar4351 and there it is, always someone in the group
@@taliadavid9893 👋🏽
How old is this woman?
I remember she said 51. I might have remembered it wrong.
Ty nine…..
Great podcast :) It's always interesting to get different perspectives on diet, exercise, fasting, etc. and see how it compares. Then realizing some things are repeated which reinforces how beneficial they are. So many things Dr. Thurlow said I relate to ~ thank you Dhru for another great discussion.
RE: Magnesium Supplementation- It’s daily ocean swimming for me. Why is it never mentioned or recommended.
Because people are dumb and most people dont live near the sea
It also took me a while to realize that salt water seas are giant mineral bath tubs hence you feel great after spending a day at the beach
I live 11 hours and 42 minutes from the nearest ocean 😐
Thank you!!
Amazing information as usual Thomas 😊
Thank you
Great podcast, so much information👌 Thankyou 😊
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great discussion. I too am watching my mother deteriorate thanks to the Women's Health Initiative study. I can save myself but frustrated I can't save my mom. She is in her 70s not one doctor in Canada will prescribe estrogen for her. It's too late to start. But she knew when she was in her 40s she needed this and her doctors cut her off pointing to this study. How many lives have been destroyed by this study.
I am so sorry to read this.....my Mom's generation is so adversely impacted by the wretched WHI. Peter Attia has referred to it as one of the greatest tragedies to have befallen women. A great book: Why Estrogen Matters by Drs. Avrum Bluming/Carol Tavris
I can't get it in the US and I'm 62. They want all women off it by 50 now. Try natural estrogen from plants. Poke around and see if you can get your hands on a Dutchtest. And figure out exactly what's up and their testing is the most accurate on the planet.
I use Progesterone Cream as your body isn't low on estrogen plus that is made from horse pee.
I use NOW progesterone Cream with Lavender ..I'm 74 and works for me.
Contact me. It's amazing what we can do when we set are mind to it. I can help. This isn't a sales or data collection thing. Just human to human. Reply in all caps so I don't miss it
@@taliadavid9893 IF YOU CAN HELP ME PLEASE
Thank you. ❤
If your not eating in between meals are we allowed to have coffee, or drinks with calories?
typically that applies, yes! Fasting with coffee or other zero calorie drinks like that most people find success with.
Please, don't forget to speak about botox, fillers.. ect, and that your diet alone does NOT give the visual results you project. I admire your medical knowledge, but cannot relate OR take advice from someone who hides behind "anti-aging", while promoting "my podcast" :/
Hi @Lauren Watson,
Dr Cynthia Thurlow is a inspiration to me, I love her work and teachings.
I found at 1:17:00 her mentioning about the use of Botox for the last 12 years, I’ll be very happy to find out more about this topic too, it was very short but she was transparent enough.
There's no hiding, I share, transparently, exactly what I do...including my nutrition, exercise, skincare regimen. I happily embrace my age and think that being transparent is very important
@@cynthiathurlow3564 after over an hour of interview. Idk that to me is not up front.
@@cynthiathurlow3564 did I say a word about you not embracing your age?! 🥺 i dont care what you do to embrace your age just stop taking hrs of others time promoting your podcast then speaking of it all LATER. You’re promoting your podcast for 1.17 hrs and diet is my main point. See? Idk how old you are, but we are around the same age and because after an hr of promoting you decide to speak of how you so call “embrace your age” this video screams insecure and 100% click bait. Sorry you feel comments attack your age 🙄 typical.
who cares what she looks like? she's an OG and her TED Talk put me on the Path to Wellness. thanks, CT!
Thanks for the useful commenting and health tips .
I think that You Doctor should know that your left lip is upraised , a sign of an upcoming stroke . Please get tested soon
That’s just lip filler that sags. She clearly uses Botox and a few other things to try and stay young looking. Don’t think it’s an indication of Stoke in her case
Actually, I have no fillers in my lips, that asymmetry that you see is related to stronger muscles on one side of my face than the other, a completely normal variant and definitely not a stroke
I think as adoctor she use lip filling and on face to remove wrinkles.Nothing natural .Asthetics industry is very thriving business and women doctors run away from heavy lifting clinical work into teaching ,asthetics ,not like us we did high risk cases life or deaths,saving lives.Doctors now shun and hide from face to face work which isverystressul if you do not know how to enjoy it and get satisfaction in the process.Talking need neural energy but doing real clinical work is Very demanding,and not for light hearted .Keep healthy,Keep learning,God blessings.
@@dr.samierasadoonalhassani2669 What a disgusting comment. As a “Dr” I’m sure you’ve heard of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This woman is amazing and it threatens your entire sense of reality
@@shaydeArtell thanks,really I was very tired and my systolic blood pressure was very high.I do apologize and shall delete the comment.I really was not myself.It was very hard morning
What’s a food bowlas?
A “food bolus” means “a meal”.
She not mention any studies
I will never take progesterone. I’m allergic to it. I have progesterone induced dermatitis. Head to toe hives the full week before my period it’s a living itching and burning hell.
Your allergies has to do with synthetic garbage.. bioidentical hormones
Chelsea, I experienced the same thing last year after coming off long term birth control. The hives were so intense and overwhelming. Doctors had no help except antihistamines. An herbalist suggested an herbal tea with lots of dandelion, milk thistle, red clover, and burdock to help cleanse my liver. Used it daily and the hives eased and they went away after about 6 weeks. I continue to take the tea daily. I hope you find some relief.
