About
If you think of cardiovascular blood flow as just a background bodily process, this episode will completely change your perspective. Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back the brilliant Cathy Eason, MS, BCHN, for a masterclass on one of the body's most critical signaling molecules. With her deep expertise in human nutrition, physiology, and translating complex biology into clinical insights, Cathy reveals why nitric oxide is a foundational pillar for women navigating perimenopause and beyond.
The conversation dives into a powerful, yet often overlooked, concept: that cardiovascular blood flow is our power source. Cathy explains how declining nitric oxide production, which naturally begins to drop around age 40, directly impacts everything from energy levels and brain fog to hormone balance and cardiovascular resilience. She details the fascinating connection between our oral microbiome, dietary nitrates from leafy greens, and our body's ability to create this vital compound.
Listeners will gain crucial education on the direct link between nitric oxide, blood pressure regulation, and heart health—a critical topic for women, as heart disease remains the number one killer. Cathy also unveils exciting insights into how supporting this pathway can influence other hallmark menopausal experiences, including sleep disturbances, temperature dysregulation, and even sexual wellness, by enhancing tissue perfusion and nervous system balance. This episode is a compelling call to focus on this fundamental aspect of our biology for both immediate symptom relief and long-term vitality.
