E67: The Power of Nutrition in Women's Health & Perimenopause with Vanessa Dyer, RDN

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week I am joined by Vanessa Dyer, a registered dietitian specializing in women's health, particularly around perimenopause. Vanessa shares her journey into nutrition, sparked by her own health issues as a teenager. She emphasizes the significance of nutrition in addressing health problems, especially chronic conditions related to women's hormonal changes. The discussion highlights the complex relationship between diet, lifestyle, and health, focusing on the importance of personalized nutrition plans to support women through perimenopause and beyond. Vanessa's approach is rooted in understanding individual needs and providing tailored nutritional advice to improve overall well-being.Vanessa Dyer is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, supernerd and owner of Menopause Prep. She has been obsessed with the connection between nutrition and the human body since she was 17 years old when she was experiencing health issues she could not get help for. After doing her own research she realized there is a lot more to health than what we have been told and dived deep into women's health. During this time, she realized women are unfortunately more likely to experience medical gaslighting and are suffering and living their lives miserably because of lack of support, education and awareness. Menopause Prep was born to help women improve their hormonal symptoms, and get them to optimal health so they can thrive, be happy and enjoy life. She aims to spread awareness that perimenopause can start in a woman's 30s and how hormonal changes affect our brain and body as a whole. 0:00 - Introduction and Guest Welcome0:47 - Vanessa Dyer’s Journey into Nutrition2:15 - Specialization in Women’s Health and Perimenopause3:31 - The Role of Nutrition in Hormonal Health5:35 - Understanding Perimenopause and Its Impacts10:05 - How Nutrition Affects Perimenopausal Health13:24 - Importance of Magnesium in Diet19:41 - Personalized Nutrition Coaching Approach25:31 - Managing Elevated Cortisol Levels35:46 - How to Connect with Vanessa Dyer and Her ServicesConnect with VanessaApply to Menopause Prep: Menopause Prep Application (mailchi.mp)Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/menopauseprep.com/newlsetter-signupIG: @Menopause.prepLinktree: https://linktr.ee/menopauseprepPhone: 561-818-0887 (Text is best!)Connect with Dr. RellerMy linktree: linktr.ee/kerryrellermdPodcast website: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClearwaterFamilyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearwaterfamilymedicine/Clearwater Family Medicine and Allergy Website: https://sites.google.com/view/clearwaterallergy/homeSubscribe to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon music, iheartradio, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Pandora.
