Have you been avoiding soy because you heard it causes breast cancer, wrecks your thyroid, or floods your body with estrogen? In this episode, Stephanie Crassweller breaks down what phytoestrogens actually do in perimenopause and menopause, and how to use them to calm hot flashes, protect your sleep, and remove one of the roadblocks to losing belly fat.



You will learn:


  • What phytoestrogens are and how they act on your estrogen receptors
  • How hot flashes, poor sleep, cortisol, and insulin connect to belly fat over 40
  • Why soy works for some women and not others, and what your gut has to do with it
  • The truth about soy, breast cancer, and thyroid medication
  • Exactly which foods to eat, how much, and how long to give itIf you've written off soy, or you tried it and quit, this episode is for you.
