Ep. 158 Menopause Supplements: Why You're Throwing Money Away 13.09.2026 28min

If you're spending $150 to $300 a month on menopause supplements and you're still exhausted, still not sleeping, and still wondering why nothing is working, this episode is for you.Most of that money is going down the drain. Not because supplements can't help, but because of how they get bought. One symptom, one bottle, and nobody ever checked whether you needed it. Meanwhile the same symptom can come from a lot of different places, so buying off the symptom alone is guessing.In this episode I break down how a supplement list gets that long, what I take and why every single one is on there, and what has to be in place before any of it can work. Plus the client who came to me in full burnout taking exactly one supplement, and what happened when I didn't add any.Perfect for women over 40 who are spending real money on supplements and still not feeling better.00:12 Audit Your Supplements — What to Keep, Change, or Stop01:12 The Bottom Line: Most of Your Supplements Are Going Down the Drain12:14 Metabolism-First Framework: Regulate, Rebuild, Reinforce14:50 Supplements I Take: What, Why, and How24:27 Case Study: From Burnout to BreakthroughCheck out the full show notes at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-158-menopause-supplements-why-youre-throwing-money-awayMentioned in this episodeProtandim Nrf2 — https://cindistickle.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/protandim-nrf2Activated liquid collagen — https://cindistickle.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/truescience-liquid-collagenConnect with CindiBook a free metabolism consultation — https://calendly.com/cindistickle/metabolism-consultationPerimenopause Morning Reset — https://cindistickle.myflodesk.com/nervoussystemresetpodcast

Ep. 157 Menopause and Diet Culture: Why Women Born Between 1960 and 1980 Were Fed the Wrong Information 06.09.2026 21min

If you were born between 1960 and 1980, you grew up in the middle of one of the most damaging nutritional eras in modern history. Low fat everything. Eat less, move more. Cardio is queen.And you're probably still using that playbook. In perimenopause and menopause, it's working directly against you.In this episode I break down why the diet culture beliefs most women in this generation are still carrying are the exact reason nothing is working — and what your body actually needs now.00:00 Podcast Mission01:10 Midlife Diet Myths02:53 Low Fat Era Fallout04:49 Old Playbook Traps06:05 Midlife Nutrition Reset08:49 Healthy Fats Explained11:41 Protein Protects Muscle14:31 Practical Protein Tools15:06 Clean Protein Bars19:05 New Midlife Framework21:01 Closing and Next StepsCheck out the full show notes and links at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-157-menopause-and-diet-culture-why-women-born-between-1960-and-1980-were-fed-the-wrong-informationConnect with CindiBook a call: https://calendly.com/cindistickle/metabolism-consultationIQ Bars (use code CINDISTICKLENUTRITION for 20% off): https://www.eatiqbar.com/CINDISTICKLENUTRITION

If you've been sitting on the hormone question, this episode is the conversation nobody's had with you.Estrogen receptors are in your bones, brain, blood vessels, muscles, urinary tract, and skin. So when estrogen declines, changes happen that you can't feel and won't notice until much later. In this episode I walk through what estrogen is actually doing in your body, where the fear around HRT and BHRT came from, and why supplements and GLP-1 medications can't do the job women are hoping they'll do.Perfect for women in perimenopause or menopause who are afraid of hormone therapy, confused about bioidenticals, or hoping a supplement will fill the gap.00:00 Podcast Mission Intro01:19 Estrogen And Hormone Therapy02:37 Estrogen Beyond Hot Flashes03:16 Heart And Vascular Protection04:29 Brain Fog And Alzheimer Link05:21 Quick Quiz Break06:10 Bones Muscle And Metabolism08:35 Urinary Tract Changes09:22 Why Women Fear Hormones09:37 WHI Study Context And FDA Update13:49 Bioidentical Hormones Explained16:02 Supplements Versus Estrogen17:35 GLP-1 Benefits And Limits19:50 Programs And Whole Body Approach20:46 How To Decide And Advocate22:41 Key Takeaways And Wrap Up23:54 Outro And Next StepsCheck out the full show notes at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-156-is-hrt-safe-the-hidden-reasons-estrogen-may-be-for-you-after-all-amp-why-i-use-bhrtConnect with CindiBook a call — https://calendly.com/cindistickle/metabolism-consultationPerimenopause Morning Reset — https://cindistickle.myflodesk.com/nervoussystemorningresetWinona: https://winona.pxf.io/PzqvLY

And confusing those two things is one of the biggest mistakes women make on a GLP-1 in perimenopause and menopause.In this episode I talk about what actually happens in the body when you chronically under-eat on a GLP-1, why the stakes are higher in perimenopause, and what eating with low appetite actually needs to look like.This is Week 3 of the FUEL Method series.00:00 Show Intro01:10 GLP-1 Low Appetite Myth01:49 Personal Wake Up Call03:32 What GLP-1 Changes04:02 Quick GLP-1 Quiz Break04:45 Why Undereating Backfires06:24 Signs You're Underfueling08:39 Hunger Versus Need09:47 Meal Structure That Works10:42 Protein Non Negotiable11:41 Easy High Protein Options12:56 Schedule And Track Intake14:44 Results And Coaching Offer16:17 Final Thanks And OutroCheck out the full show notes at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-154-glp-1-appetite-loss-why-not-being-hungry-is-the-problemConnect with CindiBook a Metabolism Consultation: https://calendly.com/cindistickle/metabolism-consultationFree Peptide Guide: https://cindistickle.myflodesk.com/menopausepeptideguidepodcastTake the GLP-1 Symptom Quiz: https://cindistickle.com/glp-1-quizGLP-1 Nutrition Intensive: https://cindistickle.com/glp-1-nutrition-intensive

If you're in perimenopause or menopause (and maybe on a GLP-1) but still waking up exhausted, foggy, and not quite yourself, even though you're doing everything "right," this episode explains why. There's a hidden kind of stress your body reads as a threat, and it can quietly make your symptoms worse.I break down the stress you don't even feel as stress. Under-eating, blood sugar swings, poor sleep, and under-fueling on your GLP-1. Plus why perimenopause makes your body far less forgiving of it, and the small, doable shifts that finally tell your nervous system you're safe.Perfect for women over 40 on a GLP-1 who are tired of white-knuckling it and want to feel like themselves again.00:00 Podcast Intro01:09 Why Stress Gets Missed02:31 What Stress Really Means03:36 GLP-1 Quiz Break04:18 Estrogen Was Buffering06:03 GLP-1 Nutrition Needs07:11 Undereating Is Stress08:29 Eat With Low Appetite09:28 Nervous System Safety10:50 Burnout Client Story12:42 Small Daily Resets14:18 Program Invite And Wrap17:11 Final OutroCheck out the full show notes at https://cindistickle.com/podcast/ep-151-perimenopause-symptoms-the-hidden-stress-making-them-worse-even-if-you-arent-on-a-glp-1Connect with CindiWhat Are Your GL🫛-1 Symptoms Really Telling You?

If you started a GLP-1 and your results aren't what you expected, this episode is going to explain why.Most women come into a GLP-1 already carrying hidden stressors that work against their results before the medication ever has a chance to do its job.
