Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones sponsors and ad reads

Okay, stopping here for a second because today's sponsor Omnidium is absolutely filling a gap that I have been watching women fall through for years. And women navigating perimenopause and menopause deserve so much better as their hormones shift and their histamine symptoms worsen. Because nobody warns you that perimenopause can make your body turn on foods that it used to love. One day a wine and cheese plate are fine and the next day it's flushing, headaches, anxiety, and you're wondering what's wrong with you. Well, spoiler alert, it's your body's ability to process histamine coupled with hormone changes. So here's what's actually happening. You have a little enzyme, it's called DAO or diamine oxidase. And this breaks down histamine primarily from foods. Sadly, like everything else, DAO does decline with age. But when estrogen shifts high, as it can do through the wild ride of perimenopause, this can suppress DAO. And at the same time, an increase in histamine can affect your body's hormonal balance. It's a total loop. It's a cycle. And when you're stuck in it, you feel it everywhere because histamine symptoms can include more than allergies or congestion. It might show up as headaches, sensitive itchy skin, bloating, flushing, diarrhea, heart palpitations, anxiety, feeling on edge, brain fog, irritability, and more. I know these sound like classic perimenopausal symptoms, but these can be histamine things as well. And that's exactly where they have a product called Menopause Complete from Omnidium.

Plus quality sleep is a non-negotiable for good health. It's also why one of my absolute favorite tools in my routine right now is my brand new Sunlighten infrared sauna, which I have wanted for years. I'm not kidding you, years. And while it does completely feel incredible after a long day, Proper infrared is what I want to talk about today. Infrared therapy actually works at the cellular level. It helps bring cortisol down, supports your nervous system, and helps your body finally shift into real recovery mode instead of being wound up all night. And here's what I didn't know until they really dug into it. Infrared isn't just heat. Although, of course, heat helps and it feels good. It's light therapy, which is huge. And the different wavelengths actually matter too. Sunlighten's Pulse IQ technology delivers near, mid, and far infrared independently. So your body absorbs what it actually needs, which is not how most saunas work, I found out. Plus, Sunlighten also does have red light therapy, which of course everyone loves. I went... full hormone nerd on this whole thing. I mean, I really looked into the research before. I pulled the trigger and got one. And I was genuinely surprised by how deep it goes. Sunlighten has been leading infrared technology for almost 30 years. And the science behind what they've built is not something you find everywhere. I mean, I'm sure you've seen the cheap saunas out there. They are not the same. So if you've been on the fence about a full infrared sauna with heat, and red light, this is your sign. Plus, yes, I double-checked, and they have ultra-low EMF and use non-toxic materials designed for consistent long-term use. Those were priorities for me.

Okay, stopping here for a second because today's sponsor, OmniDM, is absolutely filling a gap that I have been watching women fall through for years.

I know these sound like classic perimenopausal symptoms, but these can be histamine things as well. And that's exactly where they have a product called Menopause Complete from Omnidium, and it can help. It honestly might be the missing piece nobody told you to look for. It's built specifically for this chapter of women, with DAO to support histamine metabolism, Black Cohosh to support mood, potentially hot flashes, and It has flaxseed lignans for hormonal balance and citicoline to support that mental clarity and memory that perimenopause has a way of taking from you. Because you wake up one day and are like, what's wrong with my brain? And for DAO alone, like I said, I love the Histamine Digest 30,000 HDU. Make sure to take it before you eat or drink. It's one of the most underdiagnosed connections in women's health right now. And OmniDM is one of the few companies with the research to back it and actually doing something about it.

Okay, let's go back to nutrition because you mentioned good nutrition.
