Memorable Quotes:
"There's so much we can do for ourselves to help with the menopause transition and reduce the effects of it. Not everybody. We don't have to have symptoms." [5:08] -Allie
"Getting older doesn't have to mean getting weaker. We can build stronger bones at any age." [5:17] - Debi
"Certainly it's so important to be aware of what we can do to help prevent osteoporosis throughout our lives. And, you know, in our twenties, we need to be starting doing things like weightlifting and things resistance to help to be strengthening those bones right from the start." [11:27] -Allie
"We've talked about the epidemic of stress in our culture, but we also have an epidemic of sleep deprivation related to that epidemic of stress and high achievement and having a good work ethic, which means not putting yourself first at all." [22:00] -Allie
So if you're burning the candle at both ends, you're secreting this chemical that's breaking down your internal environment. And we're imbalanced, so we're not sleeping, and we're not able to process that hormone. That hormone has a negative effect on so many facets internally, especially the gut." [24:10] -Debi
"Bone loss is not an inevitable part of aging. We don't have to just wait for it to happen." [33:46] - Debi
