Katie: Hiya, and welcome to the “Wellness Mama” podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com and wellnesse.com. That’s Wellnesse with an E on the tip, my private care line. This episode is all about getting old or extra particularly, a brand new strategy to age that makes it much more swish and much more enjoyable. I’m right here with Suzanne Somers, who you would possibly bear in mind as one in every of America’s hottest and beloved TV personalities. She was Chrissy Snow in “Three’s Firm,” and she or he from there launched right into a multifaceted profession that has spanned greater than three many years. She’s authored 27 books, together with her newest, “A New Technique to Age” that we speak about rather a lot right this moment on this episode, doing unique interviews with medical doctors and scientists who’re discussing essentially the most cutting-edge therapies and dietary supplements to keep up well being and age gracefully and slower, not simply on a beauty degree however on a mobile degree.

She is the voice and face of different drugs in plenty of methods. She efficiently beat most cancers with out utilizing chemical therapies. And she or he has written an entire lot of books associated to well being and wellness, and particularly to the getting old facet of it. And we go deep on plenty of these matters right this moment. I actually loved this interview, particularly getting to speak to her concerning the mindset of getting old, how sure hormonal therapies particularly actually helped her by menopause and past, and the mobile facet of it, and the way this impacts us and our kids even far prematurely of menopause. It was a pleasure to speak to her right this moment. I do know that you’ll be taught rather a lot from this episode. So, with out additional ado, let’s be a part of Suzanne. Suzanne, welcome. Thanks for being right here.

Suzanne: My pleasure. Thanks a lot.

Katie: Oh, I’m so excited to talk with you right this moment. It’s unbelievable to me, you’ve written 27 books. I’ve solely written 4, so I’m tremendous impressed. I’ll add hyperlinks to your whole books within the present notes. However I used to be actually excited to have you ever on. You got here extremely really helpful from a number of folks near me in my life who actually are enthusiastic about your latest e book “A New Technique to Age.” And I’m excited to delve into much more specifics right here. I feel it’s gonna take us in plenty of completely different instructions. However to start out off broad, are you able to simply, type of, give us an summary of your method and what led to this e book particularly?

Suzanne: Sure, however first, earlier than we start, I wish to applaud you for writing 4 books, you mentioned solely. How many individuals have written 4 books? So congratulations. I understand how a lot work every e book is. So, good for you. And you’ve got six youngsters, which is loopy and nice.

Katie: Nicely, thanks.

Suzanne: I used to be simply watching the information yesterday the place it mentioned that this subsequent technology inhabitants goes down as a result of they’re not having infants. And I assumed, that’s a disgrace. That’s actually a disgrace.

Katie: Yeah, I feel we’ve heard the, type of, overpopulation narrative for therefore lengthy. And now that has reversed and we’re not listening to almost as a lot about it.

Suzanne: Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, to reply your query about my newest e book, “A New Technique to Age,” every e book I’ve written is myself educating myself to maintain transferring additional alongside. And it’s very clear to me, now that I’m 74, that life is about chapters. And I at all times thought after I hit my 70s, that it could be over. And right here I’m, with the way in which I’ve taken care of myself and put myself again collectively by way of all of the elements of me which have declined, that I like my 70s. I just like the knowledge that has come. I like the way in which I look. I like my power. I’m liking the entire deal. And so, I felt it was time to write down that e book. “A New Technique to Age” basically is saying that getting old is about worn-out elements. And we put on out hormonally, we go into decline. That occurs normally in what used to occur round 45, 50. Nevertheless it’s taking place early and earlier now as a result of stress blunts hormone manufacturing.

And even with the thousands and thousands of those who these books have educated, there’s nonetheless such a large dearth of affected person to physician, the medical doctors that don’t actually perceive it. They solely know what they discovered in medical faculty. And medical faculty doesn’t educate about pure hormone alternative. So, I’ll get again to hormones in a minute. However the decline occurs in hormones, it occurs in vitamins, it occurs in minerals, after which different issues that I speak about. And what I do is I gathered one of the best and the brightest medical doctors, scientists, and professionals, and decide their mind. And every interview takes so lengthy as a result of medical doctors are usually not good at explaining their method to drugs. It’s so lofty. And I’ve to return over and over to every physician or scientist and say, “Whenever you mentioned this, did you imply that? As a result of I’m attempting to make it comprehensible for me. And if I perceive that, then my constituency will perceive it.”

And so, what I notice is, if you happen to take note of the language of your physique, I name the menopause…the seven dwarves of menopause: itchy, bitchy, sleepy, sweaty, bloated, forgetful, and all dried up. That’s the language. So what? Itchy, if you happen to’re itchy on a regular basis, that’s your physique speaking to you saying there’s one thing out of bounds and the physique needs stability. If you happen to’re bitchy as in a foul temper, one thing’s out of stability until you’ve gotten a extreme emotional factor taking place in your life that it could be comprehensible. If you happen to can’t sleep, that’s the language. All these items are language that I attempted with my constituency to make them conscious of their particular person physique language as a result of that’s how one can get your self to the qualify the correct of physician and likewise to get the correct lab work to find out your deficiencies.

I feel the game-changer is hormones. When your hormones decline, you lose high quality of life. And what’s attention-grabbing is that they’ve discovered now learn how to lengthen life to 80, 90. It’s quite common to stay nicely into your 90s now however no person’s considered high quality of these additional years that our life has been prolonged. I do. That’s what I write about, learn how to put high quality again in these additional years that we now get as a result of what’s enjoyable resides longer, if you happen to really feel terrible on a regular basis, and also you’re getting all of the ailments of getting old. So, hormones say to the mind, once they’re imbalanced, all is nicely. After they’re out of stability, that’s once we get our first cancers. And, you realize, within the animal world, when animals are not reproductive, they decelerate and get eaten as a result of life is about perpetuation of the species.

Nicely, an identical factor occurs. We don’t get eaten, however we get eaten up from the within out with most cancers, and arthritis, and aching joints, and hair that not is shiny and lustrous, and all of the issues that made youth so pleasurable. So, my objective is to not stay youthful on the outside, though it appears to be a byproduct. My objective is to maintain my insides younger. So I’m working internally at optimum that every one my organs and glands are working correctly. And hormones are the physique’s communication system. Each hormone talks to each different hormone. All cells discuss to 1 one other. And we’re about…I see all of it…it’s in every single place, both 45 to 70 trillion cells, that’s what makes a human particular person.

And what saved arising within the interviews that I did on this e book, “A New Technique to Age,” over and over and over, it was so attention-grabbing to me as a result of I didn’t begin out with this theme, the theme emerged. It’s all about mobile well being. And mobile well being is the figuring out issue between how your getting old will probably be accelerated or your getting old will occur in essentially the most stunning approach that you simply don’t collapse. And isn’t that the objective? Let’s not collapse. Let’s really feel nice on a regular basis.

Katie: Nicely, I really like a lot that you’ve used your platform to, type of, pull all these nice minds collectively and to essentially, like, delve into their data after which compile it and make it accessible to your whole readers. I feel that’s so vital. And I positively agree with you on the hormone facet, I’ve solely skilled that myself by the ups and downs of being pregnant, but in addition by having…I used to have Hashimoto’s. And I discovered very a lot firsthand that in case your hormones are out of stability, you’ll not win a battle in opposition to your hormones. It’s a must to deal with the hormones. You’re not gonna win the battle with willpower or with dietary supplements or…you’ve bought to go in and really deal with what’s occurring together with your hormones. And I feel, you realize, that may be a really multifaceted method. And it might probably appear a little bit bit overwhelming, I feel, to lots of people. And I haven’t but had to do that by something like menopause or a few of these phases. So, I actually would love to listen to extra about your method to this. I do know you’ve achieved, from my analysis, some bioidentical hormones, and people have appeared to have been actually profoundly impactful for you.

Suzanne: Profound. And likewise, in reference to your Hashimoto’s, you realize, I’ve heard so typically medical doctors telling sufferers, “Oh, your thyroid’s a little bit low,” or, “Your thyroid is a little bit excessive.” Nearly prefer it’s no massive deal. It’s a giant deal. The thyroid, for lack of a greater description, is the orchestra chief of the physique. The thyroid will get the alerts straight from the mind, the hypothalamus, the pineal, and the pituitary. After which the thymus will get the directions, after which it’s the gland that tells all the opposite glands, all the opposite hormones, and all of the cells what to do. So it’d be such as you’d go to the symphony, and all of the gamers are skilled gamers. All of them know learn how to play. But when the conductor or the musical director or the orchestra chief doesn’t present up, none of those gamers know what to play. In order that they attempt to play however as a result of there’s nobody guiding them and making the concord, all of it sounds discordant. And that’s what occurs within the human physique. With out the thyroid being in excellent stability, you’ll not have concord in your physique. As soon as the thyroid is out of whack, then all the opposite hormones are out of whack.

Now for somebody such as you who’s had six youngsters, that’s an unimaginable factor to do on your physique. And it’s additionally very taxing on your physique as a result of while you’re pregnant, you make hormones another way than you make while you’re not pregnant. And that’s while you’re pregnant, you make estrogen each day of the month, and also you make progesterone each day of the month. And that’s what’s alleged to occur in order that your physique, your child, all people will get, you realize, a full blast on a regular basis. However what has occurred earlier than I began writing about bioidentical hormones, ladies would really feel all of the signs. They’d go to their gynecologist, and the gynecologist would put them on artificial hormones. The principle one being Premarin. It stands for pregnant mare’s urine, Premarin. Now, a horse has 34 completely different estrogens, not one in every of which is appropriate to the human feminine.

So, now you’re placing in hormones that the physique’s going, huh, and also you’re complicated the physique. The one factor you don’t wanna do is confuse the physique. After which as a result of ladies need at this level to not have a interval anymore, medical doctors put them on these artificial hormones that trick the physique into pondering it’s pregnant on a regular basis. And they also had been discovering that ladies on artificial hormones had been getting fats. The signs had been gone. They had been sleeping a little bit higher. They weren’t fairly as moody. They didn’t have fairly the physique itches and rashes and issues however they’re gaining weight and gaining weight. I can stroll into any restaurant, I’ll inform you what ladies in that restaurant are on artificial hormones. It has to do with the age, taking a look at these indicators on the face that point out low or excessive thyroid, after which in the event that they’re on steady mixed, and what a horrible factor. That’s why I feel there was such a prevalence of most cancers, significantly breast most cancers, in ladies my age who’re going to the gynecologist and getting these faux hormones.

So, after I went into menopause, no person knew something about it. No person talked about it. In truth, after I was a child, it was this shameful factor. We might hear my mom and my aunts speak about so and so who was going by, after which they’d whisper, “The change.” And as a child, I’m pondering, what’s this modification factor they’re all speaking about? Positive, sounds scary. It sounds terrible. And it was. One thing about it grew to become very shameful. And so that you by no means talked about the phrase menopause. I feel I’m the primary one that began brazenly utilizing the phrase menopause, speaking about menopause, and writing about menopause and making it okay. It’s simply one other passage of life. However if you happen to do it proper and put, by lab work, like, you had been simply speaking about, the precise individualized quantities that you simply want, versus what I would like, which is at all times going to be completely different. No lady is precisely the identical. There’s nobody capsule suits all. It’s gotta be achieved.

And after I first began on bioidentical hormones, as a result of I had gone to physician after physician after physician, and I used to be supplied sleeping drugs, Valium for anxiousness, cholesterol-lowering drugs as in statin, diuretics, sleeping drugs, and so on. I checked out this one physician, who was the final one on my listing, I mentioned, Actually? “Are you joking? Is that this one of the best you must supply ladies?” And he patted me on the again and he mentioned, “The drug firms know finest, pricey.” And I assumed “Nicely, you outdated idiot.” Now, I’m not anti-pharmaceutical. Whenever you want them, you want them, they’re a godsend. I wanted them this 12 months, I had a horrible accident the place I broke my neck and my higher backbone. I couldn’t have gotten by this with out the ache medicine that they gave me as a result of it was so excruciating. So, they’ve their place. And I’m not conceited sufficient to say they don’t. But when you are able to do it naturally first, that’s the place I wanna go.

So, I lastly discovered a physician who specialised in…At the moment, this was 25, most likely 27 years in the past, specialised in bioidentical hormones. For the sake of your listening viewers, bioidentical means biologically similar to the human physique, an actual duplicate of what your physique as soon as made or even nonetheless makes a little bit have. A little bit of will not be good. You need good. It’s like Goldilocks, you realize, you need precisely the proper dimension chair. And when she checked out my lab work, she mentioned, “You poor factor.” And I mentioned, “What do you imply?” She mentioned, “Nicely, you’ve gotten nearly no progesterone left.” She mentioned, “That’s your feel-good hormone. And your estrogen is so low, I don’t understand how you get by the day. You have to really feel horrible.” I mentioned, “I do.” I’m a contented particular person, fortunately married. I really like my profession. I really like my youngsters. I really like every little thing. And I’m depressed on a regular basis and pondering the world could be higher off with out me.” She mentioned, “It’s all hormonal.” She mentioned, “What we’re gonna do is we’re going to start out you on low dose. I can’t provide you with every little thing you want.” I mentioned, “Why not?” She mentioned, “As a result of it took a very long time to lose these hormones, to empty out. You gotta construct them again up slowly.” I mentioned, “Or else what?”

She mentioned, “Nicely, you actually can go loopy if I gave you every little thing you wanted proper now. So I’m gonna provide the first doses of estrogen and progesterone. And you then’ll name me together with your signs.” And I mentioned, “What are my signs?” She mentioned, “You’ll now.” So I discovered myself two weeks later going, “I really feel a little bit higher, however I’m actually itchy.” “Okay. What had been your stresses this week?” And I’m going by it. So we tweaked and tweaked, and it solely took just a few months earlier than I used to be going, “Wow, what a distinction.” And I must say that it took a full 12 months as a result of I used to be so drained out to lastly hit the candy spot that I discovered 20-some-odd years in the past that I’ve maintained ever since. And that’s the reason I’m having fun with my 70s, I shout from the rooftops my age as a result of I would like ladies who’re nearing my age, or my age or older, to understand it ain’t over. It’s simply you must know learn how to deal with it at this stage of life as a way to get your life extension with high quality.

Katie: I’m so glad you introduced up that individualized facet, and the testing, and the way this really goes to be completely different for every particular person, I feel that always, you realize, will get ignored or swept underneath the rug or simply not thought-about, particularly once we’re speaking about so many issues in drugs are examined on males who’ve very completely different hormones and really, like, your hormone fluctuations. And most even pharmaceutical medicine are examined in male cohorts as a result of they’re simpler as a result of they don’t have hormone fluctuations. And so, this is sort of a new idea and a brand new rising space of drugs to essentially contemplate the individualized facet. And particularly in ladies, it makes me actually excited that we’re beginning to actually do this and be capable to, such as you mentioned, dial that in. After which actually have that degree to keep up as you age. Do you assume is there ever a time and ever purpose to not contemplate bioidentical hormones for somebody as they’re getting old, particularly once they’re hitting menopause?

Suzanne: That is my opinion, I completely assume by not taking hormone alternative, you’re placing your self in jeopardy for lots of issues. If you happen to contemplate that we ladies get our breast cancers on the finish of our reproductive years…that’s normally when it occurs. It’s taking place now earlier and earlier as a result of as I mentioned, stress blunts hormone manufacturing. And we’re draining out sooner now due to all of the stress on the planet. So, while you drain out, it’s like sending a message to your mind and the mind goes, “Oh, whoa, wait a minute, this particular person can not perpetuate the species.” And that’s the entire purpose we’re all right here is perpetuation of the species. So, wow, I ought to do away with this particular person. I’ll give her first breast most cancers or possibly ovarian most cancers or no matter. And, you realize, I’m giving a persona to the mind however in essence, that’s what’s taking place as a result of the mind acknowledges a hormonally balanced human as invaluable and it doesn’t acknowledge an imbalanced human as invaluable. We who’re hormonally balanced can perpetuate the species.

Now, you take a look at me, I’ve no extra eggs left. That’s what menopause is. It ought to be known as egglessness. However as a result of science has gotten in and prolonged life, I can now trick my mind into believing I’m invaluable for so long as I wish to keep alive. And I really like my life. In truth, I really like that I’ve raised my youngsters. I’ve educated them, married them off, and I’m having this unimaginable time with my husband who’s additionally been on hormone alternative for 25 years. And we’re each vibrant, and juicy, and upbeat, and we date. And I do three Fb Reside reveals every week. It’s best to come someday, 5:00 California time. And I discovered that ladies and men don’t wish to have a drink alone. So 5:000 at massive Al’s bar at my home, now we have a tequila and I speak about my natural merchandise. I speak about my natural skincare, haircare, shade cosmetics, family cleansing merchandise as a result of I feel that we’re underneath the best environmental assault within the historical past of humanity, and it’s taking its toll.

Most cancers is now an epidemic. They don’t wanna speak about it. The opposite factor that’s an epidemic is intestine issues. All people. I simply decide up from my constituency what’s occurring on the market. All people’s speaking about bloating. All people’s speaking about fuel. All people’s speaking about, that is their time period, being dog-tired. I hear that phrase on a regular basis. And I’m positive while you had Hashimoto’s, you had been dog-tired. That’s hormonal imbalance. You simply can hardly get by the day. That’s no strategy to stay. And so we deal with all these issues within the present. So, it turns into have a cocktail. Alan and I flirt with each other. He’s the unhealthy boy. We don’t have a script. We don’t ever know what we’re gonna speak about. It’s simply have a date with us. And so many individuals say, “I stay up for this 3 times every week. It’s like escape from the world that I’m dwelling in proper now, ” whether or not it’s a wedding that’s sad or a wedding that’s not all that it may or could be.

And, you realize, at any time when you possibly can put again on the earth, it’s factor. And I’m so keen about well being. I’m so keen about hormones. And so I discuss to them in my reveals about hormones. I discuss to them concerning the intestine. We created this smoothie combine known as intestine Renew that has in it all of the issues that may assist you clear up the sludge in your GI tract and in your intestines which can be making you bloated and constipated. And we did a 30-day Intestine Renew Problem and it’s wonderful. Individuals had been saying, “Oh my God in a single week, I’ve misplaced 8 kilos.” And I mentioned, “Nicely, it wasn’t designed to be a weight reduction program nevertheless it is sensible. If you happen to’re, type of, cleansing up the barrier wall within the GI tract and the unhealthy chemical substances which have been residing inside you from this horrible onslaught and publicity that we’re all experiencing, yeah, that again up, that sludge, these chemical substances which can be making you dog-tired and, you realize, chemical substances, I take a look at them like little unhealthy guys. They wanna go stay within the fattiest organs and glands, the mind being primary. And doesn’t it make sense now that now we have these new ailments, mind ailments, ADD, ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, after which as you become old, dementia, Alzheimer’s? And you’ve got six youngsters, you’re listening to about these initials. I do know you’re, proper?

Katie: Oh, yeah, completely. On a regular basis.

Suzanne: Yeah. So what we wanna do is re-educate ourselves. All of us figured that if we may purchase it in a retailer on-line, it’s secure. Nevertheless it’s very, very clear within the biggest environmental assault within the historical past of humanity that natural meals is so vital. I used to be watching a Netflix present the opposite night time on Adderall. I don’t know if you happen to’ve seen it. And that the millennials are all hooked on amphetamines, Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta. The medical doctors are handing these items out like loopy as a result of they’ve all been uncovered to those chemical substances by non-organic meals, by skincare, hair care, and so on. that’s bought chemical substances in it that their moms clear their homes with chemical substances. Chemical substances are within the air in every single place. And it simply begins build up within the physique. And the GI tract is the size of a tennis court docket. And there’s a mucus throughout the barrier wall, the GI tract, this size of a tennis court docket. So take into consideration if you happen to stretch it out what it’s. We’re a marvel, actually. And that’s your immune system.

But when the chemical substances are in your GI tract and so they’re consuming holes in that barrier wall by your immune system, now they’re downgrading your immune system, and so they’re leaking out into your bloodstream. That’s that leaky intestine you’re listening to about. After which they go on a rampage searching for the fattiest organs and glands. And, you realize, with you, almost certainly ended up in your thyroid, different folks, it will get to the thymus, which, you realize, lets you stop illness and your immune system. However the worst is that if it will get up into your mind, and it’s taking place time and again. It’s in my circle of relatives. I’m watching it. And after I watched this particular just lately I went, “It’s worse than I assumed.” And since the medical doctors are passing out these amphetamines like sweet, youngsters who aren’t on them lose a aggressive edge.

And all these youngsters we’re speaking about, the truth that they didn’t wish to take a check with out being on one in every of these medicine as a result of all people else within the class is on these medicine and so they’re gonna ace it as a result of what these medicine do is make you tremendous centered. That’s all you possibly can take into consideration is that this check. And that’s how the grade factors are so excessive lately, not that they’re not learning, it’s simply that they’re all on these…in keeping with this particular. I didn’t write the particular so I simply must consider what they placed on TV, on Netflix was the actual deal, nevertheless it made sense to me as a result of I’ve written a lot concerning the intestine and the GI tract that this could’t lead anyplace good. You realize, actually, would you like your youngsters to go down that street? No, when you’ve got six youngsters, you’re an especially compassionate and giving particular person to offer a lot of your self to deliver tremendous little human beings onto the planet and also you don’t need them getting wrecked by chemical substances and medicines that they don’t want.

Katie: That’s such an vital level. And I’ve talked concerning the environmental assault that we’re seeing throughout the board proper now in our meals and in every little thing we’re uncovered to and our way of life and positively have additionally seen that analysis on intestine issues being on the rise. And when folks ask why…you realize, it shouldn’t be this difficult to be wholesome, we shouldn’t want all these items, I perceive the place they’re coming from however I additionally remind them, like, we’re seeing a vastly larger variety of adverse inputs that any earlier technology has needed to take care of. So we’re in a spot the place we have to be proactive. And I feel it feels like that’s additionally the place these bioidentical hormones come into play. Like, I’ve learn statistics that males even a few generations in the past had drastically completely different testosterone ranges than males now on the identical ages. Identical factor with ladies’s hormones due to all these items that we’re uncovered to always, which in fact, we also needs to be minimizing. However we’re simply having to deal…our our bodies are having to take care of a lot extra, that it requires us being way more proactive than maybe earlier generations have needed to be.

Suzanne: Yeah, this sperm rely is down. In Sweden, the sperm rely is right down to such an alarmingly low price, they’re frightened about having the ability to reproduce in any respect, that there’s solely, I don’t wanna say the proportion as a result of I can’t bear in mind proper now, the precise share. For some purpose, 10% are nonetheless in a position to procreate, however I might be mistaken on that. I simply know, it was alarmingly low, and I assumed, “This isn’t good. And what have we achieved?” Nevertheless it’s not irreparable By the knowledge you’re placing out right this moment, and hopefully the knowledge I’m placing out right this moment, folks will hear and notice the alternatives we make each day are so vital.

After I lecture, I at all times inform my audiences, “Whenever you go to mattress at night time, in that second within the darkness, while you’re simply going to sleep, make a listing, an imaginary listing in your head. And on one facet of the listing, take a look at all the alternatives you made that took you in direction of good well being and take a look at all the alternatives you made that took you away from good well being, and also you’ll be stunned what number of unhealthy selections you make all day lengthy. It’s the meals. The meals is on the prime of the listing. Hormones being balanced and consuming high quality meals. If you happen to can decide it, pluck it, milk it, or shoot it, and it’s natural, you possibly can eat it. However no faux meals. And proper now they’re attempting to make all this meatless meals, this faux meat. Nicely, faux meat is extremely tremendous processed meals. And we already know that processed meals are identified carcinogens. So what are we doing? And so they’re presenting it as if that is good for the planet and that is going to make all people more healthy. No, it’s not.

We had been designed to eat protein. You realize, animals eat animals, eat animals, eat animals. And I for one…from the genetic background that I come from, I require protein a number of occasions every week. And after I don’t get sufficient protein, I don’t really feel good. And there are lots of people like me. So, the truth that we’re speaking about this offers me nice hope, makes me know that there are sufficient curious people who find themselves on the market going, “Why don’t I really feel 100%? Why has all people in my household bought some type of horrible illness and, you realize, coronary heart illness and most cancers and arthritis,” which can not sound to a youngster, like, you realize, a horrible factor, it’s horrible. All these outdated folks you see shuffling alongside and needing walkers and needing somebody, a caretaker to, you realize, take them down the steps and up the steps and every little thing, that’s no enjoyable.

And if you happen to see an individual who eats high quality meals, who workout routines repeatedly, you don’t must be fanatic, however repeatedly and thinks constructive ideas…as a result of the mind believes every little thing you inform it. So, if you happen to inform the mind, you realize, “I hate this, and I hate that, I hate this,” nicely, the mind’s with out emotion, goes, “Oh, okay, all proper. Nicely, all proper, you’re stuffed with hate, nice.” However conversely, you say to your self on a regular basis, “I’m so grateful for my life, for the love in my life, for my husband, for the meals I get to eat, that I get to stay in America,” all these items, the mind goes, “Okay, all proper, you’re grateful. Isn’t that nice.” I’m gonna be in a significantly better area as a grateful particular person than a hateful particular person, for positive.

Katie: Yeah, oh, I’m gonna circle again to the mindset piece in only a second. But additionally only a follow-up level on the fertility facet, I’ve seen these statistics as nicely. And there’s a few researchers predicting that it might be as severe as by 2034, it will likely be extraordinarily tough for anybody to breed if we don’t begin addressing these items actually in a giant approach proper now. However I feel the factor you simply introduced up is so vital as nicely, the mindset of all of this, and particularly with regards to getting old. And I cherished what you mentioned at first once we first began speaking as nicely about your mindset and loving being the age you’re as a result of I feel society has painted such a adverse image of getting old, particularly for girls. And there’s a lot stress associated to that. And it’s portrayed as such a foul factor that ought to be prevented and it’s so shameful. And that mindset is simply so unhappy to me as a result of with yearly of life comes a lot knowledge.

And we hear all these quotes about how wouldn’t it’s nice if we had the knowledge of no matter age at any younger particular person’s physique? However I don’t assume there must be that false dichotomy. Like, you realize, what you’re saying is that if we are able to optimize these elements, and particularly for individuals who can consider them earlier on in life and plan forward in order that these can all be swish transitions, and we’re supporting the physique in a giant approach by all of them, I don’t assume that dichotomy must be there in any respect. And I feel it’s stunning to see examples such as you who’re spreading the phrase and altering the mindset round getting old as a result of I feel even that adverse mindset, basically, is so unhealthy for the physique, even in a bodily degree.

Suzanne: Yeah, I bear in mind, on my sixtieth birthday, having a profound considered, I’m going to make my age the age folks wanna be. So I’ve bought to do what I’ve bought to take action that it turns into aspirational. And I consider at 74, like once we began out, I at all times thought by the point I reached this age, I’d be outdated and all of it be over. Nicely, it’s not over. It’s in some ways higher than it’s ever, ever been. I mentioned to my husband, we had been having our tequila final night time, one at 5:00, and it’s such an important date. And I mentioned, “You realize, I actually like who I’m.” No person says that. All people finds all the issues with themselves. And I’m not this and I’m not that. And to not get, you realize, corny or something however we’re made by God. And I simply discover a approach in my conversations I’ve with the God of my understanding of thanks for making me. You probably did such job. I’m so happy together with your work. And it’s not conceited and it’s not egotistical. It’s simply, take a look at what you’ve gotten, quite than what you don’t have.

And I’ll inform you one thing else. When you’re hormonallly balanced, your pores and skin doesn’t take the hit that the majority older folks’s pores and skin appears to be like like. Just lately, my granddaughter, my 25-year-old granddaughter was right here and she or he…it was breakfast time, she comes strolling down the steps and I look her and I’m going, “Oh my god, we’re sporting precisely the identical outfit,” as a result of it’s sizzling right here within the desert. And I had on cut-off jean shorts and a t-shirt. And so did she. So her mom took an image of the 2 of us. After which she posted it and the image went viral of, you realize, me and my granddaughter. And I checked out it and I went, I can see why this went viral since you don’t take a look at who’s the outdated woman with the younger woman. You don’t take a look at that in any respect. You simply take a look at vibrancy in each of us.

And one’s not higher than the opposite, one’s youthful nevertheless it doesn’t matter as a result of my vibrancy is aspirational, I feel. And plenty of it was as a result of our legs regarded very comparable as a result of I’m on bioidentical hormones. I don’t have saggy, drapey, wrinkly legs, or thighs, or arms, or something that I’m seeing in my contemporaries who aren’t approaching getting old the way in which I’m. For that purpose alone, you realize, there’s no surgical procedure that may make your legs look good that I’m conscious of. So it has to come back from inside. And as I mentioned earlier, I’m very involved with conserving my insides younger and that may maintain me wholesome and hopefully manifest on the skin. And I consider that’s what’s occurred.

Katie: I really like that. I’ve to seek out that image. And I feel, for lots of people, they get caught within the, type of, pores and skin and beauty facet of getting old. And I really like that you simply deal with in your e book a lot the mobile facet as a result of it’s like you then get the facet impact of the stuff that you simply’re truly attempting to spend all this cash and do all these loopy procedures to get. That turns into a facet impact of simply feeling higher.

And I do know a query I get from my viewers comparatively typically, even in youthful ladies now, it appears youthful and youthful, is said to libido. And I’m curious if that is one thing that you’ve addressed as you’ve gotten older. Something that you simply discovered…I’m positive the bioidentical hormones come into play right here as nicely. However do you are feeling like a decline in libido has to come back together with getting older?

Suzanne: Nicely, a decline in hormones is a decline in your intercourse hormones. So with out your intercourse hormones, we ladies can’t really feel intercourse. It’s not that we wouldn’t prefer it. We are able to’t really feel it. So while you get your self balanced, your drive comes again. And since at this age, my youngsters are gone, if you happen to’re within the temper, you’re within the temper. I speak about our intercourse life, not as a result of I actually wanna speak about my intercourse life, I simply need folks to know, once more, in one other approach, it ain’t over. And when the feminine embraces hormone alternative, it doesn’t take lengthy earlier than the husband or the associate follows go well with and needs what she has. And, you realize, life is to be loved. Life is a present. Whenever you get to be this age, you realize that each day you’re alive is a present and don’t waste it and use it nicely. And well being is all there’s. Love is all there’s. All these items are so vital to who we’re as people, I at all times name us people being. We’re people who’re being. And I’m trying ahead to the subsequent 20 years. And so what I’m saying is, I see myself round for no less than one other couple of many years, after which I’ll renegotiate.

Katie: I really like that. I do know for folks listening who particularly if bioidentical hormones are a brand new matter, there’s gonna be plenty of questions associated to how can we study them extra? How can we discover them? How can we discover a good physician who is aware of about them and so they don’t must undergo that, type of, cascade of medical doctors it sounds such as you went by to lastly discover the solutions. And I do know you deal with plenty of this within the books. You guys be sure you seize the e book. However are you able to discuss a little bit bit about that of how can we be taught extra and discover out what these optimum ranges are and learn how to work with a practitioner to get there?

Suzanne: So a few many years in the past, after I wrote my first e book on hormones known as “The Horny Years,” I may solely discover 30 medical doctors in the complete United States that had been even considerably versed in pure hormone alternative as a result of they didn’t be taught it at school. After they went to high school, the colleges, 66% of all college chairs are funded by pharmaceutical firms. And I requested one physician, “How did it get this manner that we stay with this allopathic world solely?” And he mentioned, “I’ll inform you precisely.” There was a man by the identify of Abraham Flexner, across the flip of the century. And he was employed by the 2 richest households in America, the Carnegies and the Rockefellers who owned pharmaceutical firms, and really unimaginable enterprise folks. They despatched Abraham Flexner round to the institutes of upper studying, all our esteemed college and medical faculties, and supplied them funding in perpetuity if they’d solely educate allopathic drugs. Which means right here’s the issue and right here’s the drug for that downside. And that’s the reason all of the pathics, the homeopathic, the chiropractic, all of the pathics had been pushed to the facet as quackery. And that’s why it’s been so laborious for different medical doctors to, type of, get their heads up and above and say, “I’m over right here and I’m doing it completely different.”

That’s the place I are available in. I’ve a louder voice than any of these medical doctors who spent all that point learning, I’m not a physician. You do be taught rather a lot after writing 27 books. I’ve bought 4 extra in my head. I simply don’t know which one to do subsequent. And I present an important service, not just for these medical doctors however for the ladies and men who’re searching for one thing completely different. I feel one of the best is built-in. One of the best of each, you realize, that you simply go pure first, but when that’s not working, that’s while you resort to…like I needed to for ache from a damaged neck and backbone this 12 months. Thank God that that existed.

And, you realize, you by no means know in life what your function is. I really feel like I’ve function, and that’s very satisfying. And one issue of that’s that I’ve been in a position to push these medical doctors, scientists, and professionals to the forefront, and I don’t do this frivolously. I’ve achieved interviews with medical doctors the place after I get all of it achieved, I feel one thing doesn’t scent proper right here. And man, after I don’t put them in a e book, they’re mad at me ceaselessly, however I solely put folks in my books that I’ve vetted and vetted and vetted, after which I discuss to their sufferers and I vet them by their sufferers. So by the point they get in my e book, the knowledge is nice.

So “A New Technique to Age” is nice for learn how to method getting old on this period and have the highest quality of life. However for many who are listening who don’t know something about bioidentical hormones, the latest e book I’ve written on hormones is known as “I’m Too Younger for This!” As a result of most girls who’re, you realize, bought itchy, bitchy, sleepy, sweaty, bloated, forgetful, and all dried up, they assume they’re approach too younger to even contemplate hormone alternative. And this e book explains to them, with essentially the most cutting-edge, up-to-date data on pure hormone alternative, why. Even if you happen to’re not declining in hormones, why you wish to begin having hormone panels achieved at your common go to to your gynecologist. I’d look at the back of my books to discover a certified physician nearest you as a result of going to a physician who doesn’t know something about hormones is like going to a plumber for a coronary heart bypass.

And that e book will actually, actually educate you what you must do to get your self in excellent stability. And while you do, you’ll by no means look again. And I consider there’s by no means been one reported case of most cancers on bioidentical hormones. Girls who’ve been on bioidentical hormones have gotten most cancers. However in all of the instances I’ve ever heard of is estrogen receptor-negative and progesterone receptor-negative, which means it wasn’t a hormonal most cancers. It was an environmental most cancers that will have settled within the breast or settled within the uterus. However there’s by no means been one which’s pinpointed proper when she took these bioidentical hormones.

So, it’s a fortunate time for girls your age. Girls your age, proper now, if you happen to go to the physician every year and say, “I would really like the lab work achieved to see the place my hormones are,” and in case your physician goes, “You’re too younger,” go, “I would like it anyway.” And what that offers you is your baseline for while you’re excellent. So the subsequent 12 months while you go, once more, say, “I wanna do it once more.” “Why? You probably did it final 12 months.” “I do know. I wanna evaluate.” Simply maintain doing it. And a type of years, you each are gonna go, “Oh, we’re beginning to decline.” And proper then at that second, if you happen to’ve bought the correct of physician, that physician can say, “You realize what we’re gonna do? You’re declining in progesterone right here, so let’s provide you with a little bit little bit of this, and also you’re declining a little bit bit in estrogen, let’s provide you with a little bit little bit of this.” And it’ll let you by no means ever, ever expertise the struggling of menopause. And while you’re not hormonally balanced, it’s struggling.

So, that’s type of all I’ve to say right this moment. I’ve to go do one other present. However I hope I used to be in a position to shed some gentle on what I do know. And what’s going to occur to your viewers by you is you’re already knowledgeable and your viewers goes to be so superbly knowledgeable that you simply’re gonna be capable to go this right down to the technology arising from you and so forth and so forth. And, you realize, a hormonally balanced planet will not be a foul place to be.

Katie: I agree utterly. And I’ll respect your time. Final fast query is that if apart from your individual, which I’ll hyperlink within the present notes, if there’s a e book or quite a lot of books which have had a profound affect in your life, and if that’s the case what they’re and why?

Suzanne: Nicely, you realize, I learn primarily well being books. And I can’t inform you what number of books I’ve learn on the thyroid and what number of books I’ve learn on hormone alternative. One outdoors of this enviornment in any respect is as a result of I’m so disturbed by what I’m watching with antisemitism proper now. I learn a e book quite a lot of years in the past known as “The Chosen” by Chaim Potok. And it was actually enlightening why antisemitism got here on the rise. And so, that was simply attention-grabbing to me. And if anyone can also be serious about that topic…I’m not Jewish, I’m Irish. I simply by no means understood it. It’s such an unimaginable tradition. So, that was a profound learn for me.

Katie: Thanks. That’s a brand new one. I’ll put a hyperlink to that one as nicely. And Suzanne, I understand how busy you’re. Thanks a lot on your time and for all of the work you do to assist so many individuals.

Suzanne: And also you too. Congratulations. And congratulations on having these six youngsters. And I do know you’re going to do proper by them. So, thanks on behalf of all of us.

Katie: Thanks a lot. And thanks as at all times to all of you guys for listening, and sharing your Most worthy assets, your time, and your power with each of us right this moment. We’re so grateful that you simply did, and I hope that you’ll be a part of me once more on the subsequent episode.
