If you're obsessed with perimenopausal and menopausal gut health as much as we are, you are not going to want to miss this conversation at the @livelong_media Live long Summit in New York.

WHY??

Gut Health is The Missing Piece in Women's Longevity
The gut does far more than digest; it shapes hormones, immunity, and even mood. This session unpacks the gut-brain-hormone connection and what women can actually do to support it through midlife and beyond.

Come meet:

Dr. Kumkum Patel — Double board-certified gastroenterologist specializing in the gut-brain-pelvic floor connection, and a nationally featured women's gut health expert

Dr. Kudzai Dombo — Board-Certified OBGYN & Director of Advocacy at Alloy Health

Anita Mirchandani — Dietitian & Director of Nutrition Services, Carolyn Rowan Center for Women’s Health & Wellness

Moderated by Rachel Lehmann-Haupt, Livelong Media

“Lift heavy weights,” they say. But did anyone explain why?

Forward this to a friend you’d like to be younger by Monday and stay functional for decades to come… 🧬🪄💪🏋

Did you know? Most ovarian cancer doesn’t start in the ovaries. For decades, we called it “ovarian” because we assumed it began there. Now we know: more than 70% of the most aggressive subtype starts in the fringes of the fallopian tubes and spreads.

The prevention has existed since 2013. Removing the tubes (a five to ten minute procedure called opportunistic salpingectomy) reduces risk of the most aggressive subtype by up to 80%. It preserves your ovaries, your hormones, your cycle, your menopause timing. It only removes what is essentially a transit system you no longer need once you’re done having children.

And if you’re not done? IVF still works. It bypasses the tubes entirely.

So why isn’t everyone doing it?

Gina Kolata’s piece in the New York Times landed on my kitchen table last week and left me with a list of questions she didn’t have room to answer:

How much surveillance makes sense, with family history, without, with a personal history of cancer?
What are the symptoms, and is it too late by the time anyone notices?
Wasn’t that birth control pill supposed to cut my risk?
What does the procedure involve?
What if you don’t have an abdominal surgery planned?

So I called three of my doctors, read the studies, and put together what I learned.

Comment TUBES, and I’ll send you the full article.

In good health,
Susan

Merci à la personne qui a pris cette photo. ❤️
Comme beaucoup de femmes, j'ai grandi avec les moqueries et le harcèlement. Pendant longtemps, ça a influencé la façon dont je me voyais et la confiance que j'avais en moi.
J'étais très timide, très introvertie, et j'ai mis des années à trouver ma place.
Mes enfants ont été un tournant dans ma vie. Ils m'ont poussée à devenir plus forte, à m'affirmer davantage et à exprimer qui j'étais vraiment.
Puis, en quittant mon premier mariage, j'ai commencé à me retrouver. J'ai perdu du poids, découvert la Zumba et appris à bouger mon corps avec plaisir. Danser a changé beaucoup de choses pour moi. J'ai réalisé que mon corps n'était pas un problème à corriger mais quelque chose à célébrer.
Bien sûr, le chemin n'a pas toujours été simple.
Il y a eu le Covid, la périménopause, les difficultés de la vie, les changements du corps. Et parfois, cette confiance que j'avais construite a vacillé.
À presque 59 ans, je continue encore à apprendre. À être plus patiente. À accepter que mon corps réponde différemment qu'à 40 ou 50 ans. Et honnêtement, ce n'est pas toujours facile.
Mais quand je regarde cette photo, je ne vois pas les défauts que j'ai l'habitude de chercher. Je ne vois pas les rides, ni les imperfections, ni tout ce que je pourrais critiquer.
Je vois une femme qui a traversé beaucoup de choses.
Une femme qui est tombée et qui s'est relevée.
Encore et encore.
Je vois une combattante.
Je vois une femme forte.
Et pour la première fois depuis très longtemps, je peux dire :
Je suis fière d'elle. ❤️

En tanke som stannat kvar hos mig sedan jag föreläste på @longher_collective @ahappyday.se förra veckan...
Vi pratar ofta om förändring som något vi ska göra.

Nya vanor. Nya mål. Nya strategier.

Men det jag ser om och om igen, både hos mig själv och hos människorna jag arbetar med, är att verklig förändring ofta börjar någon helt annanstans.
Den börjar i hur vi ser på oss själva.

För vi lever sällan över vår självbild utan oftast i linje med den. Och om den bilden är gammal...om vi fortfarande ser oss själva genom begränsningar vi sedan länge vuxit ur... då fortsätter vi ofta skapa samma resultat, även när vi längtar efter något annat.

Det här väckte så många fina samtal efter föreläsningen.
Tack till alla er som lyssnade.
Och tack till er som kom fram efteråt och delade era tankar, erfarenheter och reflektioner med mig.

Och tack @ahappyday.se & @longher_collective för att jag fick vara en del av programmet.

Longevity & Women’s health panel 🎤💪🏽

Först och främst - vilken enorm kompetens och hälsoexperter som @ahappyday.se x @longher samlade under samma tak. Sedan - magin som sker när man är runt likasinnade hälsonördar kring all things longevity, hormonhälsa och wellness 💜

Ärad att få dela panel med några fantastiskt kompetenta och erfarna pionjärer inom olika aspekter av hälsa och funktionsmedicin @johannahector_ @isisamerwahlinmd @cellarolife 💥

Rubriken på samtalet var “How to live well, not just long”. Vi har sett att kvinnor lever längre än män, dock tillbringar kvinnor fler år i ohälsa än män. Vad kan vi göra åt detta?

För första gången på scen delade jag det galna resultatet av min pågående hälsoresa. Det känns ärligt talat fortfarande lite overkligt, även om jag har en bit kvar.🙏🏽 När man ger kroppen rätt förutsättningar så kan den själv läka det mesta ✨

Tack för kärleken på och av scen (extra tack @costasnanga för bilder och pepp)🥰

Efteråt kom en deltagare fram och frågade “Men vad har du gjort då för att förbättra din hormonbalans?” Svaret är inte EN sak utan en livsstilsförändring innehållande många delar (de klassiska: kost, sömn, träning, exponering för toxiner, inflammation, nervsystem etc) MEN det som är mest spännande är att jag haft en helt annan approach till det som jag aldrig tidigare haft - och det är just DET som skapat enormt skifte. 💥💥💥

Och just detta ser jag så fram emot att djupdyka mer i och sedan dela mer med er framöver! 💜

För att optimera min egen, och många andras hälsa.

Stay tuned! 🌟

Tack för inbjudan och för en fantastisk dag @erika.tapper @susjaq och tack till alla andra härliga kvinnor jag träffade under dagen 💜
