Perimenopause was a Wake-Up Call: Summary

In Perimenopause was a Wake-Up Call, Detective Ev interviews Jane Velasco, a fitness and health expert with over 23 years of experience. Jane shares her impressive bio, highlighting her journey as a personal trainer and the establishment of her training facility in Los Angeles. Her health began to decline in 2019 with symptoms including joint pain, fatigue, insomnia, and weight gain despite an active lifestyle. Traditional medical consultations yielded no answers, leading her to explore functional health. Encouraged by her business coach and FDN practitioner, she enrolled in the FDN program, discovering various underlying health issues including HPA axis dysfunction and gut dysbiosis. Applying the FDN principles, she successfully healed herself, losing weight and regaining energy.

In the podcast, Jane discusses her health journey, the importance of breath work, and the value of functional health labs in diagnosing and treating health issues. She highlights her desire to help others through her functional health practice, which integrates bodywork, personal training, and functional health consulting. Jane recounted a success story of helping a client overcome perimenopausal insomnia by addressing hormone imbalances and emphasizing breath work. Jane also expressed a future goal to open a women’s wellness retreat to apply FDN principles in a more immersive way. The episode underscores the importance of listening to one’s intuition and the potential of functional health approaches to provide lasting solutions to chronic health problems.
