Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I share my latest health update talking about my RA symptoms, what things I am doing currently to keep my RA symptoms under control and I also talk about my experience with severe menopause symptoms and how RA can aggravate menopause symptoms. This is just an intro video and I hope to share more videos about on the topic of peri/menopause and RA as well as on HRT in the near future.

    Thanks for sharing your update! I was diagnosed around menopause, didn't know there was such a close connection. I'm also now on a NSaid, but also have done AIP which has helped so much more.

    yeah our hormones, leaky gut and autoimmune disease are very closely related! So glad to hear that AIP has helped you! Be careful with the NSAID as they can further aggravate leaky gut. I will do a video on medications soon! thank you for sharing and good luck to you!

    I would love to hear more in the future about the BHRT for menopause symptoms, especially about how you like the patch and the micronized progesterone. I am in the same boat! I've used the topical cream bio-identical estrogen and progesterone for several years. Thank you for sharing your experience!

    What are the side effects of taking bio identical hormones? If someone has minimal menopause symptoms do you still recommend taking the hormones?

    That's a great question. I will make another video on this topic since there are so many aspects to it. But if I were to summarize, I would say that NOT every woman going through menopause needs it. If your adrenal glands are working well, then they can take over the job of making the female hormones and that's the reason some women do well even in menopause. But in those who have this compromised mostly due to other chronic conditions and autoimmunity, then I highly recommend HRT. HRT can have some side effects especially with progesterone however working with a good doctor , you can titrate the dose to where you can feel the best. Hope this helps!

    I’m lil confused with the food inclusions in this diet..like tapioca is not recommended by some health experts in aip..

    Tapioca or cassava is AIP compliant. I am not sure where you saw that it is not recommended. The only cases where it won't be recommended by your nutritional therapist/ naturopath is if they determine that you have dysbiosis (bad bacteria) in your gut or if you have IBS like symptoms in which case starchy foods can cause more bloating. Hope that helps!

    but medication like methotrexate cause long term damage like kidney failure?

  • @Cook2Nourish

    @Cook2Nourish

    Methotrexate in the doses that's given for RA (low doses) is quite safe for people with normal kidney function. If someone already has a kidney issue, then they need to be careful. jasn.asnjournals.org/content/32/12/3197. In any case, your rheumatologist will also recommend that you regularly do blood work to check for liver and kidney function while on Methotrexate. In my personal experience and in my clients, I have seen that eating a healthy diet has a huge impact on countering the toxicity of medications.

    I am on AIP plus some reintros. So you can say a Paleo template with some restrictions.
