Adrian: Ladies, I've got a real treat for you here. I reached out to my friend, Dr. Amanda Vollmer, who is an incredible resource and has so much wisdom in the area of natural health and how your body really functions. I've asked her for her top five health tips for women over the age of 55. If we could start off with the top five tips you think you have for women over 55, it would be amazing.
Dr. Amandha Vollmer: Even though I'm not past 55 yet, I already feel what those changes are and have had to live through, like the perimenopause and menopausal changes—understanding the cleanup and how to navigate through these changes without losing valuable brain matter or experiencing bone loss. This age is a time of awakening and empowerment.
In discussing health tips for women, it's essential to focus on self-care—an area often neglected as many women prioritize familial responsibilities. Transitioning through menopause is transformative and should be embraced, not feared.
- Restoring Minerals:
- The importance of restoring lost minerals like magnesium, silica, and trace minerals cannot be overstated. These are crucial for maintaining nerve function, hormonal balance, and cognitive clarity.
-
- Women's health in post-menopausal stages sees a reduced capacity to absorb minerals, affecting bone density and cognitive health. It’s important to consume foods like wild greens, dandelion, and nettles as they’re high in these essential nutrients. This replenishes not just calcium but other trace minerals necessary for overall well-being.
- Supporting Detoxification:
- Vital to health is ensuring that detoxification pathways—particularly the liver and kidneys—are functioning optimally. Engaging in easy and effective detox practices such as using castor oil packs helps fortify these pathways.
- The use of simple methods such as dry brushing can promote lymphatic drainage. Additionally, ensuring organs and tissues are clear from toxin accumulation allows other systems to function uninterruptedly, reducing risks of fatigue and cognitive dysfunction.
Adrian: These first two steps are just the beginning of Dr. Vollmer’s insightful guidance.
