Jay explains why perimenopause symptoms aren’t necessarily signs of estrogen deficiency, what progesterone’s underrated role is, and how metabolism, stress, and gut health all converge to influence the midlife transition.His work has been instrumental in helping Ann Marie connect the dots between her own thyroid, gut health, fatty liver, and hormonal changes. If you’re curious, overwhelmed, or stuck between conflicting advice – this one’s for you. Highlights: Why the mainstream medical model didn’t cut it for Jay How energy production impacts reproductive hormones The cultural lie of “eat less, move more” Seed oils, PUFAs and what they’re doing to your metabolism Sunscreens, toenail polish, and endocrine disruption Why low estrogen blood levels don’t tell the whole story What your liver and gut have to do with your hormones Why estrogen replacement might be a band-aid, not a solution Guest bio Jay Feldman is a health coach, independent researcher, and the host of the Energy Balance Podcast. With a background in neuroscience and exercise physiology, he takes a bioenergetic approach to health that focuses on restoring cellular energy and dismantling modern myths around nutrition, metabolism, and hormones. Jay’s personal mission is to help people heal by reconnecting them with their bodies and understanding how modern life throws off our internal systems.
