Summary
Hidden toxins stored in your fat cells could be the real reason you can't lose weight after 40—even when you're doing everything "right." In this episode of Functional Moms Podcast (#104), Dr. Anil Bajnath, founder of the American Board of Precision Medicine and author of The Longevity Equation, breaks down how precision medicine uncovers the hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and stored environmental toxins that drive stubborn weight, fatigue, and perimenopause symptoms. If you're a woman 35–55 navigating perimenopause, menopause, or unexplained weight gain, this conversation is your roadmap to a personalized N-of-1 protocol — not another generic diet plan. We cover the hallmarks of aging, biological audits, the 3 detox pathways (pee, poop, sweat), lymphatic drainage, sauna therapy, and the biomarkers every woman should be testing. ▶️ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why "average" medicine fails women in perimenopause and menopause How toxins get stored in fat cells (and why dieting alone makes it worse) The biological audit Dr. Bajnath uses to find hidden root causes Hormonal shifts in perimenopause that sabotage weight loss The 3 detox routes — sweat, urine, and stool — and how to optimize each Why N-of-1 precision medicine is the future of women's healthcare Top biomarkers to ask your doctor for in 2026 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.
