In this insightful episode, engage in a conversation with Dr. E.F. Rain and Dr. Victoria Vieira Potter, Associate Professor of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at the University of Missouri, as they delve into the intricate aspects of menopause. Explore the crucial roles played by adipose tissue and estrogen in influencing metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and the array of symptoms associated with menopause. The discussion also encompasses practical measures women can adopt to alleviate menopausal symptoms and navigate this stage effectively. From exercise strategies to dietary considerations and insights into hormonal replacement, discover valuable approaches to enhance well-being during menopause. Dr. Vieira-Potter conducts primarily basic science studies, delving into mechanisms to prevent and treat obesity-related diseases. A major focus of her research revolves around understanding how exercise and estrogen influence adipose tissue metabolism, including the impact of estrogen loss on adipose tissue due to changes in physical activity behavior. In her work, she is actively forging collaborations with clinicians and scientists in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry to further interrogate these questions, particularly in aging women.
