On this week’s episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, we had a conversation with my very good friend/colleague of many years, Robin Nielsen. Robin is a hormone expert, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and Board Certified in Holistic Health. Robin has been helping women with menopausal health for many years now and she gives us her secrets to maintain a healthy and thriving life! Robin discusses the importance on not only focusing on sex hormones because they’re miniscule compared to the other main hormones, which are cortisol and insulin. She explains why that these are the main hormones women should focus on because they are the main factors that either contribute or deprive our gene expression. These factors essentially control the trajectory of our success. We also talk about her different programs made to help deal with the issues that come with menopause like weight gain, mood destabilization, and more. Robin emphasizes that ladies need to not only attend the hormone reset program but maintain it after it’s done. Consistency is key when it comes to repairing our molecular integrity, and our lifestyle choices are the formula. This talk is too interesting to not tune in, so listen, learn, and grow!

That’s where the lifestyle factors… it’s all those factors outside of you that influence your gene expression.” “Well here’s the deal, there is something wrong if you don’t feel well. And this is where I really encourage you to figure it out.” “For decades I over-exercised and I under-ate, and guess what? I always gained the weight back because I didn’t have a sustainable way to take care of myself.” “She said this program has done more to fix what was wrong than any doctor I’ve been to in the last five years.   “My kids have even noticed a difference in my overall mood. I’m much more upbeat and positive. And I think that’s one of the best things of Robin’s Hormone Reset, is really, you know, bringing families together again.” “This Robin’s Reset program is very foundational and that’s the kind of change that can happen without any supplementation… some pretty powerful things can happen.” “It’s seven days, where actually everyday, we do a hormone assessment. There are six hormones that we go over. It’s progesterone and testosterone. And then it’s our thyroidal hormones. And then it’s insulin and cortisol.”
