Hoops & Glossers!
Buckle up—today we’re going where few podcasts dare to go: the messy, confusing, sometimes downright bizarre world of perimenopause.
Hot flashes? Weight gain? Brain fog? Gas that could clear a room? (Yeah, we said it.) If you’ve ever felt like your body came with a secret manual that no one bothered to give you, this episode is your missing chapter.
My guest, Dyna Vink, a certified Integrative Health Practitioner and founder of Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle, is here to spill the tea on all things midlife. She’s walked the perimenopause path herself, turned her frustration into research, and now helps women uncover the real root causes behind their symptoms.
And here’s the jaw-dropper:
👉 One hidden culprit might just be… PARASITES!
Yep. Not sexy. Not talked about. But way more common than you think. From bloating and brain fog to sleep struggles and skin issues, parasites could be part of the puzzle—and Dyna explains how to spot them, test for them, and (most importantly) kick them to the curb.
In this episode, we cover:
Why perimenopause is still wildly misunderstood (and ignored in med school 🤯)
The surprising first signs of perimenopause (spoiler: it’s not just hot flashes)
How the gut, hormones, and parasites are all linked
Why traditional medicine often misses the root cause—and what functional medicine can offer instead
And yes, the truth about colonics, biofilms, and parasite cleanses 👀
If you’re in perimenopause (or think you might be), this convo will give you clarity, relief, and maybe a whole new perspective on what’s really going on inside your body.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a plot twist. And with the right tools, you don’t just survive it… you thrive.
