Wechseljahre und Ernährung. Dipl.- Ökotrophologin Susanne Liedtke / UNGESCHÖNT # 05

Welcome to episode 5 of UNFORGETTABLE! In this episode, Simone Jacob talks with certified nutritionist Susanne Liedtke (founder of "Nobody Told Me"). Together, they break the taboo surrounding menopause and show how closely hormones, gut health, and nutrition are linked. Why does the body change after 40? Why does visceral belly fat suddenly appear, and what does the "estrobolome" in the gut have to do with it? Susanne explains, in a scientifically sound yet easily understandable way, why chronic stress (cortisol) disrupts the hormonal balance and how a leaky gut can even contribute to autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Best of all: You'll learn practical tips on which kitchen "superfoods" (like freshly ground flaxseed, fermented sauerkraut, cruciferous vegetables, or apple cider vinegar) regulate hormone levels and how the "leftover salad" can make everyday life easier. A candid, eye-opening talk for more quality of life, energy, and a longer lifespan! 📘 You can find more information and recipes in Susanne's book "Nobody Told Me."
