Nicole joins us from New Jersey to share her powerful, decade-long journey with endometriosis—a story marked by misdiagnoses, medical gaslighting, and unrelenting pain. Labeled with everything from IBS to anxiety, Nicole saw countless doctors across multiple specialties, yet none could give her the answers she desperately needed. It wasn't until she underwent excision surgery with a true endometriosis specialist that the truth was revealed: 73 lesions removed from her bladder, uterus, colon, rectum, appendix, and two endometriomas—one larger than her uterus.Nicole founded Endo Excision For All: a nonprofit fighting for access to gold-standard care, especially for those failed by the system. In a world where excision surgery still isn't properly covered by insurance, Nicole is leading the charge for change so others won't have to suffer the way she did.Follow Nicole's work and advocacy:

Now, the 49-year-old wants to make sure no one is again left languishing for years in emergency accommodation - which comes at a hefty cost to the people there and the taxpayer.

Zoho launches its own large language model—Zia LLM—built in India, designed for business, and powered by privacy-first AI agents that redefine what digital employees can do. Zoho is taking a bold step into the AI future with the launch of its own large language model (LLM) and a suite of enterprise-ready AI agents, all developed in-house—not in Silicon Valley, but in India. In this conversation, Zoho executive Chandrasekhar “LSP” joins Your Tech Report to unpack what makes Zoho's approach to AI different—and why it could reshape how businesses automate, analyze, and serve customers. With its own infrastructure, private data policies, and “no AI tax” pricing model, Zoho aims to give businesses control over their data, their automation, and their outcomes. LSP explains how Zoho's custom-built LLMs are trained on licensed datasets, operate within customer firewalls, and are tailored to specific business contexts—unlike consumer LLMs from OpenAI or Google. We also dive into Zoho's digital employee framework, the Zoho Directory's access guardrails, and the new Zia agent marketplace, which enables developers to create and monetize AI agents. From speech recognition to interoperability across platforms, this episode offers a deep look into Zoho's vision for AI—one grounded in privacy, performance, and purpose. 0:00 – Zoho's Big AI Announcement 3:25 – Why Zoho Built Its Own LLM from Scratch 8:40 – Privacy by Design: No Data Sharing, No AI Tax 12:20 – Digital Employees vs Traditional Agents 16:10 – Zoho Directory & Enterprise Guardrails 21:15 – Zia Marketplace and Multi-Agent Workflows 27:10 – Speech Recognition and Low-Resource Language Support 31:00 – Staying Grounded Through the AI Hype 35:45 – Zoho's Vision for Accessible, Affordable AI 38:00 – Zoholics Conference Preview #ZohoZia #AIPrivacy #LLM #DigitalEmployees #EnterpriseAI #YourTechReport #Zoholics Learn more about your ad choices.

What is sarcopenia and why is this such an important topic for every woman over 40?  That is the topic of conversation today.  What is Sarcopoenia? Sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone.  Significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and or muscle strength. Sarcopenia is tied to anabolic resistance in midlife women, making it harder to gain lean muscle growth or maintenance after 40. Older adults - both men and women - have to work harder to gain lean muscle mass.  Women have less overall body mass and muscle to begin with and more dramatic reductions in estrogen at menopause, than men experience loss of testosterone.  The key stimulus for muscle protein synthesis, will suffer more from loss of strength and mass if they aren't carefully offsetting it with planned and progressive resistance training.  For women, estrogen protects muscle and bone. We need and use testosterone which is the most abundant hormone in the female body - but it's the decline in estrogen that makes the difference in muscle preservation. What Contributes to Sarcopenia?  Malnutrition. Combined with sarcopenia, it's a predictor of all-cause mortality than sarcopenia alone.  The United States is one of the most overfed and undernourished countries in the world. We're not eating well enough to sustain health.  Sarcopenia is 100% avoidable.  How Do You Measure Sarcopenia? Strength Fat free mass and height Online calculators  There are physical tests or measures that include grip strength or calf circumference.  Women didn't measure or track their skeletal muscle mass decades ago to know where it was at peak. It's harder to say how much mass or strength you've lost.  The Surprising Statistics on What is Sarcopenia On average, muscle loss occurs 3-8% each decade starting at 30. That CAN accelerate during menopause transition. It isn't associated with loss of estrogen driving skeletal muscle protein synthesis down. It's the side effects of the decline of estrogen.  Not sleeping. Struggle exercising as hard or as long  Less support for your muscle from testosterone and growth hormone  Have cortisol, ghrelin and leptin hormone dysregulation that interferes with muscle and fat. We do have the ability to regain lean muscle.  It's proven (and shared in prior episodes) that 85+ individuals can gain both mass and strength.  Available Sarcopenia Assessments: SARC-F  A simple questionnaire that is a good point of reference but an easy assessment if you're active.  How it works: Includes 5 components with scale scores range from 0 to 10: Strength: How much difficulty do you have in lifting and carrying 10 pounds? Assistance in walking: How much difficulty do you have walking across a room, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Rise from a chair: How much difficulty do you have transferring from a chair or bed, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Climb stairs: How much difficulty do you have climbing a flight of 10 stairs? Falls: How many times have you fallen in the past year? Flipping 50 Fitness Scorecard  Helps not only measure strength and muscle mass but to see how you rank according to others in your age group.  Most important is progress, comparing you to you.

What is Sarcopenia: The New Glossary Osteosarcopenia - low bone mass and low muscle mass Sarcobesity - low muscle mass and high fat mass Osteosarcobesity - low bone mass, low muscle mass and high fat mass  Osteobesity - low bone mass and high fat mass    The biggest risk of sarcopenia is falling due to instability and inability to “right” yourself when slips and falls occur. I promised we'd visit what's possible so here that is: A 1.9-3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with a 4.1% to 5.8% lower fat mass and reduced A1c and fasting glucose in studies lasting 2 weeks to 3 years.   How to Avoid Sarcopenia? Resistance train 2x per week minimum, for some that's maximum. Know your recovery needs. Consume high protein foods and micronutrient dense foods at each meal.   Wouldn't it be wonderful if in 30 or 40 years, “What is sarcopenia?” is a question like “What is scurvy or rickets?” now which is never heard of.

Allan Sheffield, Co-Founder of Gene By Gene,  offers genetic testing to provide insights into an individual's risk for various diseases, including cancer and rare genetic disorders, allowing for more proactive and preventative healthcare.  Analysis of pharmacogenomic data, which examines how an individual's genes influence their response to medications, also helps doctors prescribe the most effective treatments and avoid potential side effects. Integrating genetic data into electronic medical records and using AI to simplify the interpretation of results is enabling doctors and patients to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and use polygenic risk scores to provide more comprehensive insights into an individual's health. Allan explains, "Gene By Gene is one of the largest genomic sequencing or genetic tech companies in the US, and we do everything from whole genome sequencing to offering hereditary cancer screening, predictive cardiovascular risk, and things like pharmacogenomic testing to see how people respond to different medications. So if you can think about genetic testing, we've got the capabilities to do it."  "We're living in a really exciting time at the moment, where next-generation sequencing, or whole-genome sequencing, is becoming much more of a reality. I think 10 years ago, it would cost over a hundred thousand dollars to sequence your whole genome, which is the 3 billion base pairs of genetic code in your body. And so what we've had to do in the past is do very targeted tests to keep the costs affordable. But with the advancements in technology, we are now doing the whole genome sequence at Gene By Gene for in the hundreds of dollars as opposed to the thousands of dollars. And that's making it much more accessible and much more realistic in healthcare." #GeneByGene #GeneticTesting #NextGenerationSequencing #NGS #Pharmagenomics #CancerScreening #PredictiveScreening #CardiovascularRisk #PrecisionMedicine GeneByGene.com Listen to the podcast here

It's no secret in 2025 that stronger muscles lead to longer life. If you're a woman in perimenopause, postmenopause or anything in between, this is no surprise to you. I think we are very aware of it, but let's unpack how weight lifting treats and prevents chronic diseases. Women, at any age, need stronger muscles for a longer life. Not just for aesthetics, but for functionality and independence.   My Guest: A longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor, Michael Joseph Gross has published investigative reporting, essays, and books about culture, technology, politics, religion, and business. He was raised in rural Illinois and lives in New York City.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:31] How did this become a topic of interest to you personally?  [00:07:54] Let's connect strength training to prevention and treatment of illnesses often associated - even accepted - with aging? [00:20:17] Weight training has been shown to decrease anxiety and to have positive effects on risk of Alzheimer's or type 3 diabetes, can you explain for the listeners?  [00:26:31] How has the work of Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh showed that weight training may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? [00:33:13] Why is lifting heavy important? Do you worry that leading with “lift heavy” intimidates women? What did you uncover as evidence that it is never too late to start progressive strength training?   Why Strength Training? Strength training changes more than just your body—it's internal too. It's not about looking stronger—it's about being stronger. Adolescence and menopause are both times when women feel their bodies are changing without their consent. Strength training gives back a sense of control, capability, and power.   Stronger Muscles Longer Life At Any Age   Strong Youth: Peak bone mass forms in youth—strength training in adolescence builds lifelong health. A 10% increase in bone mass reduces future fracture risk by more than 50%.   Strong in Midlife: Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh, geriatrician and professor in Sydney, Australia, found that even 90+ year-olds can gain muscle mass with high-intensity training. Weight training can treat and prevent nearly all chronic diseases.   Stronger Muscles Through Weight Lifting Treats and Prevents These Diseases: Type 2 Diabetes Heart Disease Osteoporosis Depression and Anxiety Insomnia Osteoarthritis Frailty Dementia & Alzheimer's Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Fall Risk   Periodization & Smart Strength Training: Periodization: Cycles of high effort, deloading, and rest. Women (especially Type A) tend to push too hard—leading to burnout or injury. Strength training should energize you, not exhaust you. Part of lifting heavy is lifting light. The goal: Live better, not just lift more.   Ancient Greek Lesson: The Right Time to Train Greek word kairos = the “opportune moment” for action. Good training is about doing the right thing at the right time. Don't blindly follow a plan.

So many women say they're tired all the time in menopause.  Even those who do exercise to improve health, which would include energy levels, will often say, “I'm tired all the time.”   Let me share what I would do, and actually did at the end of 2019 when I found myself recovering from a big year of mental and physical stressors. 80% of the population don't exercise, specifically 80% of women don't lift weights the minimum times per week needed for optimal metabolic health. If you are one of those 20% you should be the most energetic people in the room wherever you go! If you exercise consistently and you're tired all the time, something isn't right. It may be about the exercise you're doing, the fuel you're consuming or absorbing, the way you're handling the stressors on your plate, or a combination. There may be something more going on, but often when you have this “check engine” light going on, addressing some changes will help.   This is the best place to start to address why you're tired all the time in menopause.   1. Stop Exercising “As Usual”  The mentality “This is the workout I always do. If I don't, I will lose my fitness” makes it worse! Even though metabolism changes are documented, pushing exercise to the brink of exhaustion is not the first line of defense in fixing it.  Science states, “The basal metabolism of the female body decreases significantly, which can mean a decrease in the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of up to 250–300 kcal per day.” This inspires a diet mentality that is of the eat less, exercise more, you're not going to benefit from this.  2. Move And Eat In Small Snacks  Small movements (exercise snacks) like walking 10 minutes 3 times a day, instead of a long walk, will be better for overall fatigue. This helps sustain blood sugar levels. If you are suffering from adrenal fatigue, you may have blood sugar dysregulation and you may not have an appetite in the morning. Eating in small snacks throughout the day can stabilize blood sugar levels too. Tired All the Time Isn't “Normal”    3. Track Food To Check On Macro And Micro Nutrient Intake  Cited in studies, key preventive nutrients in menopause are:  Vitamin D Calcium Vitamin C B Vitamins Protein I would also add: Magnesium Omega-3 We need protein and micronutrients to gain lean muscle and strength.   4. Consider Lab Testing For Micronutrient Sufficiency and Cortisol Levels (saliva vs blood, dried or wet urine)  Lab testing will tell if you are sufficient in levels of micronutrients. You can take a look at, are you in norms or are you optimal?   5. Support With Adaptogens To Help The Body Help Itself  Maca, Ashwaghanda, and Rhodiola I found the most benefit personally from Maca. I felt better within a week just taking a morning dose.   These are all steps you want to take whether you are or aren't on HRT. If you're progesterone is low and that's interfering with sleep, it can make a big difference. These things just cover the basics and relate to your exercise and fitness routine.    Additional steps you want to take: Check thyroid levels with a functional doctor. Get a stool test if your digestion isn't what it should be. That will tell you the status of your good and bad gut bacteria and let you know how to feed with the right probiotics so you feed the good ones and starve the bad.  Utilize a health coach who understands optimal levels vs norms of micronutrients. A doctor is necessary to help you interpret many things like thyroid and hormones as well as getting the right tests to begin with.  Seek support from a functional doctor who can recommend specific tests that differ from your traditional physician and help you sort out any of these.    References to Why You're Feeling Tired All the Time in Menopause:  PLoS One, 2024, PMID: 38421977.

Like Claire, she can't stop making— books, paintings, TV shows, podcasts, meals, mistakes. And Claire just graduated from the University at Virginia where she is probably the school's only double major in computer science and drama.  Making is her life: Computer programs, standup routines, screenplays, code songs, algorithms, pizzas. During her last semester, she was interning at a machine learning company as well as a Hollywood production studio, and this mother-daughter duo teamed up to write Marianne The Maker. This is a children's book all about the power of making and really makes a case for how we can tap into creativity to decrease stress and increase gratitude. I love how they expand beyond the arts and how making can show up in so many different ways. Super stoked for y'all to dive into this one and add this book to your shelf.  Connect with Kelly and Claire: Instagram: @kellycorrigan Website: www.kellycorrigan.com, www.mariannethemaker.com Order the book: Marianne The Maker Podcast: Kelly Corrigan Wonders Connect with us: Instagram: @seed.and.sew  Podcast page: Voices of Your Village Seed and Sew's NEW Regulation Questionnaire: Take the Quiz Pre-order Big Kids, Bigger Feelings now!  Order Tiny Humans, Big Emotions  Website: seedandsew.org Music by: Ruby Adams and  Bensound Learn more about your ad choices.
