The #1 Nutrient Menopausal Women Are Missing

The Menopause Mastery Show | Fiber: The #1 Nutrient Menopausal Women Are Missing  | Episode 285 Solocast with Dr. Betty Murray

🌿Welcome to The Menopause Mastery Show!

Protein matters in midlife—but it is not the whole story. In this episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray explains why fiber may be the missing nutrient behind stubborn menopause weight gain, visceral fat, glucose spikes, hormone detox issues, and gut imbalance. 🍏

✨ You'll learn how soluble fiber, resistant starch, short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and the estrobolome all influence insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, estrogen clearance, inflammation, and metabolic health. Dr. Betty also breaks down why extreme low-carb or carnivore-style diets can backfire long term when they starve the gut microbiome.

If you've been hitting your protein goals but still feel stuck, this episode will help you rethink carbohydrates, rebuild fiber intake, and support your metabolism from the gut up.
