My labs came back "normal." So why do I feel like I'm falling apart and gaining weight?If you've heard that from your doctor, this one's for you. Andrea sits down with her friend (and her own doctor), Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND, founder and clinical director of Advanced Women's Health. They recorded this with no script, for both of their podcasts, and it shows. They laugh a lot, and they still get into the stuff most doctors skip.Sarah explains why she tests insulin and inflammation, not just FSH and LH, and why you can feel off for years before your labs show perimenopause. She uses a bank account analogy for insulin and fat storage that finally makes it click. Then they talk honestly about GLP-1 medications, what the big weight loss trials actually did, and why food, supplements, and medication don't have to be an either/or choice.Sarah also shares something personal. She used to weigh 100 pounds more than she does now, while eating well and working out, and it took years to find out why.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- Why your labs can look normal when you feel anything but, and what "late reproductive" means- Which blood tests to ask about in perimenopause, including fasting insulin and inflammation markers- How insulin affects where your body stores fat, and why eating less often backfires- What the GLP-1 studies don't put in the headlines- 3 surprising things that can add to perimenopause weight gainCHAPTERS2:00 Why a Doctor Who Won't Budge Is a Red Flag2:31 Meet Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND5:36 "I Don't Know Where to Start" and How Your Feed Shapes What You Know8:06 Normal Labs but You Don't Feel Like Yourself?

Everyone's suddenly drinking hydrogen water. Is it hype, or is there actually science behind it?Andrea met Paul Barattiero more than ten years ago at a health show in Toronto, back when almost nobody was talking about hydrogen water. Now it's everywhere, and a practitioner friend of Andrea's has been sending her studies about it almost daily. So she invited Paul on to explain what molecular hydrogen actually is, why he says it's not the same thing as the hydrogen in H2O, and what happens in the body when you drink it.Paul's route into this was personal. His wife spent the first decade of their marriage with heavy, painful periods, adenomyosis and significant anemia, losing about a week of every month to her bed. On a cruise in 2005, friends handed her a jug of water they couldn't really explain, and something shifted. That sent Paul down a twenty-year path that inspired him to launch Echo Water.In this conversation they talk about gut health, oxidative stress and inflammation, why hydrogen might behave more like a signal than a supplement, how much to drink and when, and what the menopause-specific research does and doesn't say yet. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- What molecular hydrogen (H2) is, and why "isn't hydrogen already in water" is the wrong question- Why your gut may be the reason you're not making hydrogen the way you used to- What oxidative stress and chronic inflammation actually mean- How much hydrogen water to drink a day, and why timing it around your workout may matter- What the menopause research covers so far, including bone density, sleep, blood sugar and heart healthCHAPTERS 3:10 Isn't Hydrogen Already in Water?

Are Your Hormones Really Out of Balance in Perimenopause? Dr. Sharon Stills, ND, Explains What's Happening and What to DoTold, "It's just aging"? Dr. Sharon Stills says perimenopause isn't a disease, and there's a real answer for your hormones.Dr. Sharon Stills spent her twenties as, in her own words, "a hot mess": PMS for two and a half weeks a month, migraines, allergies, asthma, and so much bloating that strangers asked when her baby was due. There was no baby. That was her hormones. Twenty-five years, one naturopathic medical degree, and a menopause of her own later, she's a licensed ND who's helped thousands of women rebalance their hormones, and she just opened a 7,000-square-foot healing center in Scottsdale with her son.In this episode, Andrea and Dr. Stills get into what bioidentical hormones actually are, why the cream your doctor gave you might not be working (hint: it's probably where you're putting it), and why she believes hormone decline, not "aging," is the real root cause of most perimenopause and menopause symptoms. They also cover the messy realities: insurance that won't cover hormone therapy, social media misinformation about compounded hormones, and why Dr. Stills had to fight her own insurance company over a continuous glucose monitor.If you've ever been told your hormones are "probably fine" without ever being tested, this one's for you.What you'll learn:Why perimenopause and menopause aren't a "disease," and what's actually declining in your bodyThe real difference between bioidentical hormones (BHRT) and synthetic HRT, and why your body can tellWhy rubbing hormone cream on your arms or belly might mean you're getting almost none of the benefitDoes vaginal estrogen go "systemic"?

If that made you laugh and wince at once, this one's for you.Kaurie DiBerardino spent years as a pediatric physical therapist, a biologist, and a holistic nutritionist. Then, at 44, a back injury ended her career overnight. What followed was a decade she describes as heavy, dark, and more life than she knew how to carry. Her kids grew up and stopped needing her the way they used to. Her body stopped cooperating. And somewhere in there, menopause arrived.So she opened an Instagram account and started posting jokes. Her kids mocked her relentlessly. She had ten followers, one of whom was her cat.On Mother's Day 2025, a reel went viral, and the Former Hotties Club was born. Today, it is a community of thousands of women who show up in black leggings and messy buns to laugh together about the absurdity of getting older.This one is for you if you have ever thought it's too late, or that starting something new at 50 is embarrassing, or that everybody else has friends and you're the only one who feels this alone.What you'll learn:Why so many women feel invisible in midlife, and what actually shifts that feelingHow to start something new after 50 when you're terrified and have no followers yetWhy menopause loneliness hits hardest once the kids are out of the houseWhat actually changes mentally in menopause, and why so many women say they like themselves more afterwardHow to find your people again when school pickup is no longer your social lifeChapters:2:00 Hot in Flashes: The Menopause Design Flaw Nobody Warned Us About3:20 Meet Kaurie DiBerardino, the 54-Year-Old Accidental Midlife Influencer5:10 The Career-Ending Back Injury That Forced a Total Reinvention9:20 How the Former Hotties Club Got Its Name13:00 Gen X vs the Golden Girls: Why We Don't Look Like Our Mothers Did16:30 The Zero Fs Era: Losing Estrogen and Gaining Confidence20:00 How to Start Something New in Midlife When You're Scared24:10 Midlife Loneliness After the Kids Leave, and Why Community Helps27:10 Where to Find Kaurie and Join the Former Hotties ClubFind Kaurie: Former Hotties Club: https://formerhottiesclub.com Instagram: @theaccidentalmidlifeinfluencer TikTok: @formerhottiesclubSend us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined

"I'm doing everything right, and the scale still won't move."

Keto worked like magic in your 20s and 30s, but then perimenopause hit, and it stopped. Ben Azadi joins Andrea Donsky, author of Nourishing Menopause and 7x published menopause researcher, to explain why strict keto and fasting can backfire on shifting hormones, and how "flexing" instead of white-knuckling gets you back to results.Ben Azadi is back, and this time he's telling us why strict keto is the wrong move once you hit perimenopause.We talk through his revised book Keto Flex and why "flexing" in and out of ketosis, instead of staying in it forever, is the piece most women in this life stage are missing.What you'll learn:➡ Why doing keto and fasting too aggressively in perimenopause can backfire on your cortisol and adrenals➡ What cyclical ketosis (keto flex) actually looks like week to week➡ How ketosis may affect leptin, thyroid (T3), and testosterone, and why your labs can look "normal" while you still feel off➡ Why brain fog and memory issues might improve with a fat-adapted metabolism➡ Which fats to build meals around, and which seed oils to quietly dropBuy Keto Flex Revised: The Advanced Guide to Metabolic Flexibility, Fat Burning, and Hormone Health for Every Body at Every Stage https://amzn.to/44I6BWIChapters:0:00 Welcome Back: Ben Azadi Returns to Talk Keto Flex 3:08 What's New in the Keto Flex Revised Edition 6:00 The 4 Pillars of KetoFlex: Adapt, Fast, Phase, Flex 11:34 Why Strict Keto Backfires in Perimenopause 14:54 How Keto Flex Affects Leptin, Thyroid (T3), and Testosterone 21:00 Brain Fog, Memory, and Mitochondria After 40 24:40 Keto Flex vs. Fasting Mimicking Diet, Plus Protein and Whole Foods 31:20 The Truth About Seed Oils (and a Joint Pain Story)Send us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined

You didn't change a thing, but the scale keeps climbing, and it's all landing on your belly. In this episode, we discuss what's going on now that you're in perimenopause and menopause.Andrea Donsky, 7x published menopause researcher, author, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorpus.com, sits down with online health coach Aram Grigorian, who has spent 17 years helping women 35 and older change their body composition without the shame, the crash diets, or the thousand-dollar programs. This one is candid (heads up, there's some swearing), and it cuts through the noise you've been drowning in since your symptoms started.Aram and Andrea get into why fat starts settling around your middle in perimenopause, why "eat less, move more" is technically true but nearly useless without a system, and the uncomfortable truth that a lot of women are actually eating too little to lose weight. They also talk honestly about alcohol, sleep, muscle, and why the number of calories you can eat has more to do with muscle than motivation.What you'll learn:Why perimenopause belly fat happens (and why it shows up now when it didn't in your 20s)The difference between weight gain and fat gain, and how you can drop or add 15 pounds in 72 hours without gaining an ounce of fatWhy your doctor's "just eat less and exercise more" advice keeps failing youHow much alcohol is really costing you in sleep, recovery, and caloriesWhy eating too little can stall your weight loss, and how to figure out how many calories you actually needChapters:0:00   Intro: Meet Andrea and Guest Aram Grigorian2:25   Why Women Aren't Broken: Aram's Story6:30   Why Perimenopause Weight Goes to Your Belly12:00  Weight Gain vs Fat Gain: The 15-Pound Water Weight Swing17:30  "Eat Less, Move More" and Being Dismissed by Your Doctor24:30  Alcohol, Sleep, and Your Menopause Weight32:00  Why Eating Too Little Stalls Your Weight Loss39:00  Muscle, Body Fat, and How Many Calories You Really Need45:30  Body Image, Mindset, and Getting Your Partner On Board51:30  What You Can Actually Control (Plus Where to Find Aram)Learn more about Aram: https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeachListen to Andrea's interview on Aram's Podcast 211.

You are not alone, and midlife might be the best time yet to change that. In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author, soon to be 10x published menopause researcher, educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with her childhood friend, Sharon Neiss-Arbess, a copywriter-turned-novelist who finally wrote the book she had been carrying around for years. They have known each other since grade five, so this one feels less like an interview and more like hanging out with two old friends over coffee.Sharon's newest book, How I Learned to Pee in the Forest, is a collection of 18 short, true stories about everyday moments that taught her how to stand up for herself, set boundaries, and stop apologizing for taking up space. It is real talk about people-pleasing, asking for help, and giving yourself permission to start something new, no matter your age.Topics:Why "no" really is a full sentence, and how to stop being a people-pleaser in midlifeHow to set boundaries without guilt (and why so many women learn this late)A simple bedtime habit that may help you wind down for better sleepWhat it actually takes to start something new after 40 or 50, in any area of lifeThe difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing, in plain languageChapters:0:00 Intro: Empowering Yourself in Perimenopause and Menopause2:30 From Sears Copywriter to Self-Published Author7:00 The First Three Books and Where the Ideas Came From11:30 "How I Learned to Pee in the Forest": 18 Real-Life Stories14:30 Boundaries, People-Pleasing, and Why "No" Is a Full Sentence18:30 Short Stories for Better Sleep at Night21:00 Self-Publishing vs Traditional Publishing25:30 Why Art Can Bring People Together29:30 Where to Find the Books + Final ThoughtsLearn more about Sharon and her books at sharonneissarbess.comSend us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined

In this week's episode, we take a look at eight reasons to diversify your ebooks sales beyond just Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Wrath of the Warlock, Book #7 in the Dragonskull series, (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store: WARLOCKJUNE The coupon code is valid through June 22, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 306 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is June 5th, 2026 and today we'll discuss eight reasons you should diversify your book sales beyond Amazon. We'll also talk about Coupon of the Week and give a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects.   So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Wrath of the Warlock, Book #7 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills), at my Payhip store. That coupon code is WARLOCKJUNE. As always, the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is valid through June 22nd, 2026, So if you need a new audiobook for the summer as you go on a summer road trip, we have got you covered. Now let's talk about my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. As of this recording, I am 80,000 words into Blade of Thieves, which puts me in Chapter 17 of 25 of my outline. So we're closing in on the end. I think we're going to be about 110-115,000 words or thereabouts in the rough draft. So hopefully a couple more solid pushes and we'll get there to the end. I hope to be at 90,000 words by this point, but there is quite a lot to do in real life so we didn't quite get there, but 80,000 words is still better than nothing. For Cloak of Frost, as of this recording, I am now 9,000 words into it and that will be my main project once Blade of Thieves is done. I was hoping to have Blade of Thieves come out in June, but July is looking more likely at this point. Hopefully Cloak of Frost will come out the month after Blade Thieves comes out, whenever that is.   In audiobook news, I'm pleased to report that Blade of Wraiths (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is now out at all audiobook platforms. Get it at Audible, Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Kobo Books, Chirp, my own Payhip store and all the usual audiobook stores. At the moment, I have no other audiobooks in active production, but once Blade of Thieves is done, Brad will also be recording that. Later this month, Hollis McCarthy is scheduled to start on Cloak of Worlds and in July, Leanne Woodward is going to record Dragon-Mage, the most recent Rivah book. So we don't have any audiobooks being produced right now, but we will in the future. So that is where I am at with my current writing, audiobook, and publishing projects.   00:02:32 Main Topic of the Week: Beyond Amazon: Reasons to Diversify Your Sales Platform   Now onto our main topic this week, Beyond Amazon: Reasons to Diversify Your Sales Platform, which is something you know I do quite often given how often I talk about my links to my Payhip store on this very podcast.   For a long time, the conventional wisdom has been that Amazon has 80% of the US book market and putting your ebooks into Kindle Unlimited was the best route of success because of that monopoly and some of the algorithmic benefits Amazon gives to KU authors. While it's true that certain genres (especially LitRPG and romance) are almost exclusively focused on Amazon and KU in the US, going exclusive with Amazon is not necessarily the best course of action for everyone, especially if you're interested in growing your international sales.   Today we'll talk about reasons why putting your books in KU is limiting and in the interest of fairness, in two weeks, we will also be doing an episode later [about] when putting your book in KU is a good idea and some of the benefits of that. But today we're going to start with the benefits of diversification. Here are eight reasons you might want to consider moving beyond just Amazon, which is often called going wide in the Indie Publishing world. #1: Increasing your global reach.   It may surprise you to know that the Kindle store is not available in every country and that other countries have a strong competitor to the Kindle store. For example, in Canada, Kobo is Amazon's main competitor and has traditionally a strong market share there, quite a bit larger than Amazon Canada based on my own sales data. Kobo is also very strong in many European markets. Additionally, because there are many more Android users internationally than there are in the US, Google Play Books is important in non-US countries. It's also an easy platform for users and integrates into the Google ecosystem as well. Data usually finds that while the iPhone [iOS] is dominant in the United States, Android tends to be the majority mobile operating system in the rest of the world. So if you want to access Android users in the Google Play Book Store, then you want to be on Google Play Books. #2: Some people are boycotting Amazon.   There are many readers who boycott Amazon or American-led companies for a number of reasons. It is possible to overstate the strength of these. I've seen many people be alarmed about Amazon boycotts impacting their sales, but it never really seems to materialize. I suspect a lot of the boycotting thing is much louder online than it is in real life. That said, it is undeniable. There are people who will not buy ebooks or anything from Amazon for a variety of reasons. So if you sell your books only through Amazon, you're missing out on that group of readers. Some categories of romance have also been affected by Amazon boycotts, so it's worth investigating other options if you're an author in these categories.   #3: Kobo Plus.   Kobo offers a subscription program called Kobo Plus that unlike KU, does not require exclusivity to participate in it. Over three million ebooks and 100,000 audiobooks (quite a few of which are mine) are available to subscribers for less than the cost of a KU subscription. Kobo has been gaining popularity in the US in part due to their subscription program. I have to admit my own personal experience with Kobo Plus as an indie author has been almost entirely positive. When it first came out, I was a little leery of it, but then I decided to test it out by putting Frostborn into it and that did quite well and I was pleased enough with the results that now I just put everything in Kobo on Kobo Plus and that has paid off because the majority of my month to month Kobo revenue and the majority of my yearly Kobo revenue comes from Kobo Plus now. In March and April, I had two of my best months ever on Kobo in the 14 years I've been publishing with Kobo entirely off the strength of Kobo Plus. So my experience with it has been if you write a really long series like that that generates a strong read through (like Frostborn is 15 books, Sevenfold Sword was 12 books, Cloak Mage as of this point is up to 14 books), then it would be definitely advantageous to you to investigate Kobo Plus.   #4: It gives you the chance to support independent booksellers through bookshop.org.   This past year, bookshop.org made a deal with Draft2Digital that made it possible for indie authors to put their books on the bookshop.org platform. In the past, has not been particularly easy or straightforward for small indie bookstores to sell ebooks, so this is an opportunity for physical indie bookstores based in the US. For American readers who want to shop local but still read ebooks, it's nice to be able to offer them an option that benefits their local communities. It also gives these bookstores a way of supporting local authors without having to find physical space for them within the store itself. Bookshop.org is still in the early stages of accepting indie ebooks and there are some things that need to be worked out with features on their app, especially about user complaints about a lack of flexibility with DRM-free e-books. Still, romance and what the site calls "serious nonfiction" are growing rapidly on the platform, so it's definitely worth exploring, especially for authors in those categories. If they do succeed in their plans to put out their own ereader, that would make the platform even more attractive to many book buyers.   #5: Direct sales equals greater profit, extras, price fixability, et cetera.    Having your own sales platform (typically hosted on sites like Payhip and Shopify) gives you far more control over your sales platform. It also gives you a far greater cut of the profits. To give an example, if I do a coupon code for one of my audiobooks on my Payhip site to make it 50% off like I did earlier in this episode with the Dragonskull: Wrath of the Warlock coupon, I still earn a similar amount as if someone had bought it for full price on Audible.   A direct sales platform also allows you to create discounts for sales far more easily than on other platforms. Additionally, you don't have to wait for ebooks or audiobooks to get through processing on a direct sales site like you do with ACX and the other sites, which makes when a book or audiobook is ready for sale far more predictable. You can also bundle things with ebooks like such as the book file in multiple formats or bonus items like maps, worksheets, or charts. On the other ebook sites, this isn't typically possible. Direct sales gives you a greater flexibility in terms of selling. You can include bonus items and it's also a good fallback position if one of the main sites isn't working. I first got into direct sales in 2021 because Barnes & Noble had its big ransomware hack then and for a while it was impossible to publish new things to the platform and I believe that was when Ghost in the Vault came out and since I couldn't publish that on Barnes & Noble until the ransomware problem was fixed, I directed people to the Payhip site instead.   #6: Library sales and Kindle Unlimited.   The popularity of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and the Project Hail Mary audiobook made a lot of people aware of the fact that exclusivity agreements with Amazon and Audible have often been structured to leave out options for library ebook platforms or require maneuvering or additional deals in order to make it possible. The popularity of Libby in particular is growing here in the United States, especially as people are having to shift their leisure spending from things like books and entertainment to covering basic necessities like housing, transportation, fuel, and food costs due to the poor state of the economy. If library sales and library readers are important to you, then going wide is your best option for reaching the library market.   Myself, I haven't particularly pursued the library market. I haven't refused it either. I usually, when the option is available, click on the toggle switch to publish it to a library service, but then don't think about it very much after that, but there are many indie authors who are very interested in getting in libraries and have pursued that quite a bit through these programs.   #7: Vendor lock-in/user preference.   There is a concept called vendor lock-in, meaning that ebook buyers have a particular platform that they default to when buying ebooks because that is where the ebook collection is based and they want to keep their books together instead of spread across several different apps. Many Barnes & Noble and Kobo users are not interested in ebooks from Amazon or KU for this reason and won't even follow a favorite author to another platform. It's important to have an option available for these readers.   #8: DRM free. [Digital Rights Management]   Having a DRM free copy of an ebook is extremely important to many readers and that is what makes an ebook purchase a true purchase instead of a highly conditional license. Sites like Kobo allow ebook buyers to limit their searches to only DRM free titles and many will not buy a book that is not available without DRM. My Payhip store, all the files you get from that when you buy an ebook or an audiobook are DRM free as well.   For myself, a large portion of my sales come from outside Amazon, so that's why I've never been fully exclusive with Kindle Unlimited and instead rotate a small selection of my series in and out of KU. Over the years, I've experimented with having various books in KU and starting in 2023, what I settled on doing was that I would write three series ongoing. Two of those series would be available on all ebook platforms and one of those series would be available in Kindle Unlimited, which allowed me to pursue both markets at once. As of right now, the wide series are Blades of Ruin and Cloak Mage and the Kindle Unlimited series is Half-Elven Thief. Once Half-Elven Thief is completed, I will take it out of Kindle Unlimited and take it wide and start a new series for Kindle Unlimited.   Overall, I found it's worthwhile to be wide even when pursuing Kindle Unlimited with some of my books because typically in an average month about 45 to 55% of my revenue comes from Amazon and the rest comes from all the other platforms put together. So while Amazon is typically half, that's not nothing, it's only half and the rest of the revenue comes from all these ebook platforms I've been cultivating over the years. So the conclusion is that the beauty of KU's current agreement is that you only have to commit to being exclusive for a short amount of time, specifically three months, and then can always return to it if you want to try going wide for a while.    It's also important to note that growth on other platforms may be slow and if you're going to try them out, it's important to be patient and have realistic expectations. It's the benefit of being an indie author that we can experiment and make decisions quickly based on data and reader preferences. Going wide may not be the best decision for everyone, but the results may surprise you, especially over time.   The cumulative effect of things is often easy to overlook, but it does add up over time. Part of the reason I think my books do so well with Kobo Plus is because they've been on the Kobo website for the last 14 years, which gives them time to accumulate reviews and additional word of mouth. So when someone is browsing Kobo Plus for something to read and they see this long book series with a bunch of good reviews, it becomes easy for them to try it through Kobo Plus.   So that is it for this week. This week we talked about going wide. Next week I don't have time to record a full-time episode, so we're going to do another audiobook sampler roundup, which will be fun. The week after that, in two weeks from today, we are going to talk about the benefits of going to Kindle Unlimited as a contrast to this episode and I will talk about some of my Kindle Unlimited experiences (both good and bad).

So many symptoms in perimenopause and menopause can be traced back to hormones, including sex hormones and the thyroid. In this episode, we take a deep dive into thyroid health and PCOS, and we touch on bone health. Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, author of Nourishing Menopause, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, interviews with Dr. Damola Aje, a board-certified endocrinologist who specializes in PCOS, thyroid disorders, and menopause.Topics:Thyroid Problems in Women - Thyroid problems in women can show up as fatigue, weight changes, feeling cold, dry skin, and low energy, especially during perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms are often mistaken for hormonal changes, which is why comprehensive thyroid testing beyond TSH is important.PCOS in Perimenopause and Menopause - PCOS in perimenopause and menopause remains a lifelong metabolic and hormonal condition, often linked to androgen imbalance, acne, hair thinning, and facial hair. Lean PCOS is also common and frequently overlooked.Insulin Resistance in Midlife Women - Insulin resistance in perimenopause and menopause is a key driver of PCOS, contributing to weight gain, stubborn belly fat, blood sugar imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction. Exercise supports glucose control and helps preserve muscle mass during aging.Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms in Women - Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, and heart palpitations can overlap between thyroid disorders, PCOS, and menopause, making hormonal imbalance in women harder to identify and often dismissed.Menopause Treatment and Hormone Support Options - Menopause treatment options may include hormone replacement therapy for hot flashes and night sweats, along with bone health support and proactive testing. Self-advocacy is key to getting proper diagnosis and care.Follow Dr. Aje @hormoneswithdrdamijeySend us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined

Are you a tea drinker? We do! It offers many health benefits and is a great way to increase your water intake and hydration during perimenopause and menopause.In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Cindi Bigelow, the third-generation President and CEO of Bigelow Tea, the family-owned American tea company founded in 1945. She helped transform the brand from a traditional grocery-store staple into a modern wellness-focused tea company, expanding into specialty blends, green teas, and functional teas while keeping the business privately held and family-run. Topics:Bigelow & Integrity: The company is a third-generation, family- and women-owned business founded by Cindi Bigelow's grandmother in 1945 with the iconic Constant Comment tea. Its focus has always been on mission and quality, not just profit.Quality: Bigelow tests its teas for nearly 500 pesticides to ensure the final product is clean. Additionally, every tea bag undergoes 26 checks before reaching the store shelf.Debunking the Plastic Tea Bag Scare: The most common type of tea bag used in the U.S., such as Bigelow's double-chamber, non-heat-sealed bag, contains no plastic; it's made from wood pulp and abaca. The misinformation circulating often shows the wrong kind of tea bags.Foil is the Secret to Freshness: Bigelow invented the individual foil pouch because it is the only way to protect the volatile oils in tea, which make the tea healthy and flavorful, from degrading for up to three years.Loose Tea is a Trade-Off: While loose tea provides a "beautiful experience," it oxidizes and degrades more quickly when exposed to air, light, and moisture.Hydration is Critical for Menopause: For women in perimenopause and menopause, staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining energy, supporting brain and skin health, reducing inflammation, and aiding digestion.Making Water Easier to Drink: Bigelow's Botanicals Cold Water Infusion line was created because many people, including the CEO herself, don't enjoy drinking plain water; these bags gently infuse cold water with natural flavors, making hydration simple.Longevity: The Bigelow family members are avid tea drinkers, sometimes enjoying up to 10 cups a day, and have enjoyed long lives; her mother is 97, and her grandfather lived to 103. Tea could be part of that longevity.Explore a wide variety of Green, Black, and Herbal Teas, as well as Bigelow's Botanical Infusions. https://bit.ly/4kFzfyJ Send a text ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagine

Simply, tightness and/or dysfunction in the pelvic floor.In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, author, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Jana Danielson, a wellness entrepreneur, Pilates educator, and creator of the Cooch Ball pelvic floor training tool.Topics:Pelvic Health and the Body's Connection: The discussion of how the pelvic floor is an integrated structure, not a standalone group of muscles.The Pelvic Floor and Core: The interview explains the anatomy of the pelvic floor and how it can function optimally (watch it on YouTube for visuals).The Importance of Breathing and Posture: A core theme is that breathing is the most fundamental pelvic floor strategy, and optimal posture is also key to pelvic floor function.Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Misconceptions: Jana challenges the belief that dysfunction is "normal" during aging, stating that "common is not normal." Stressing that a too-tight (hypertonic) muscle is just as dysfunctional as a weak one.The Cooch Ball and the Release-Rebuild Method: The Cooch Ball method focuses on 30 days of "release only" to promote blood flow to the tissue, followed by a rebuild phase using exercises that integrate the pelvic floor with other muscles in the body.Impact on Libido and Orgasm: Andrea and Jana discuss how improving blood flow and releasing tension in the pelvic tissues can increase libido and the ability to have pleasure.The Pudendal Nerve and Shame: The Latin root of the word "pudendal" means "an area of shame", and this emotional context is connected to the lack of discussion and understanding of pelvic health.Links:Cooch Ball For Women: https://bit.ly/4qGRF3O Cooch Ball For Men: https://bit.ly/402Arme (great for men experiencing erectile dysfunction or dribbling)Pelvic Health Survey: https://forms.gle/RXM4BpFLtgP5m8nD9 Send a text ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagine

On Menopause Reimagined, your host, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author, menopause researcher, educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, is joined by Dr. James Simon, a board-certified OB-GYN, reproductive endocrinologist, and clinical professor at George Washington University. He's the only physician to have served as president of both The Menopause Society and the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, and is the author of Restore Yourself: A Woman's Guide to Reviving Her Sexual Desire and Passion for Life.TopicsSexual Health Survey Results: Nearly 1,300 women shared their experiences: 91% reported lower libido, 66% had more difficulty orgasming, and 83% had talked to someone about it, echoing what many women share online.Why Desire Drops (and Why You're Not Alone): Why libido changes in perimenopause and menopause likely affect most women, and how relationships can help sustain, but not fully protect, sexual desire.When Sex Hurts (and Nobody Talks About It): Why he likes to see couples together and how painful sex can lead to rejection, resentment, and misunderstanding when it's not addressed.Why Common Advice Feels So Dismissive: “Use lube,” “have a date night,” “just do it,” “try a vibrator,” or “maybe you're depressed” are the go‑to lines many women are tired of. Dr. Simon unpacks why this misses the root causes and reminds us that desire starts in the mind, not just the body.Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire: Many women worry that something is “wrong” when spontaneous desire fades. Dr. Simon explains why responsive desire often remains and how understanding this shift can be a huge relief.Hormone Testing & Therapy: What to actually ask for: thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, vitamin D, and B12. Plus, why testosterone matters, how levels change with age, and why access looks different across countries.Non‑Hormonal Treatment Options: A clear look at Addyi (flibanserin) and Vyleesi (bremelanotide): how they work, who they're for, and what to realistically expect.It's Not Just Hormones, It's the Relationship: Speaking to common pain points: feeling unseen, disconnected, or “touched out.” Depression, anxiety, and relationship conflict must be addressed; no dose of hormones can fix an unhappy partnership.Real‑World Tips for Long‑Term Couples: Practical ideas women say they want: using lubricants and vibrators without shame, slowing down, adding novelty, sharing fantasies safely, and using “I” language to improve communication and intimacy.Connect With Dr. Simon:Send a text ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagine

In this conversation from 2020, Alex Aragona speaks with Mustafa Akyol as he explores whether Islam can be compatible with liberalism, and his recent research on freedom in Muslim-majority countries. References from Episode 70 with Mustafa Akyol Mustafa Akyol is the author of Rethinking the Kurdish Question: What Went Wrong, What Next? (Turkish), Islam Without Extremes: A Muslim Case For Liberty, The Islamic Jesus: How the King of the Jews Became a Prophet of the Muslims, and his book set for release in April 2021, Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance (all available titles hyperlinked to Amazon Canada store pages). You can read Mustafa's articles featured on his profile on the CATO Institute's website at this link. The concluding segment of this podcast was dedicated to discussing Mustafa's findings in his study, Freedom in the Muslim World, which was published on the Cato Institute's website and is available for reading here. Mustafa quotes the observation that Islam had compatible socio-legal setups for embracing liberal society early on had it abided by its foundational teachings from Professor David Forte's article, Islam's Trajectory. This article can be read on the Foreign Policy Research Institute's website at this link. One of the themes in his upcoming book, Reopening Muslim Minds, Mustafa cites Ash'arism as one of the theological paradigms predating modernity which gave rise to the insularity in Islamic philosophy towards thoughts not originating from revelation. The journal Studia Islamica has an article recounting the religious history of Ash'arism and can be accessed at this link through an active JSTOR account. Mustafa briefly mentions the Euthyphro Dilemma (Wikipedia), Divine Command Theory (Michael W. Austin, Eastern Kentucky University), and Ethical Objectivism (Oxford Reference) whilst discussing the different camps in Islamic thought. More can be read about these topics through their respective hyperlinks. You can read more about philosopher John Locke's premises on toleration of religion and heresy here (A Letter Concerning Toleration courtesy of McMaster University), as well as his view on the separation of church and state at this link (Liberty Fund). While literature on Islamic liberalism is vast, a good place to start is this article titled What Is Liberal Islam?: The Sources of Enlightend Muslim Thought featured in the Journal of Democracy at this link. This article on Deutsche Welle summarizes the domestic and international tensions stemming from the cartoons of religious caricatures that were published in France. Mustafa quotes Daniel Philpott's book, Religious Freedom in Islam: The Fate of a Universal Human Right in the Muslim World (available on Amazon Canada), about how Islam “had seeds of freedom, but those seeds need to be cultivated.” You can read the excerpt where the French jurist, Jean Bodin, commended the religious freedom of the Ottoman empire compared to the denominational violence amongst Christians in Europe in Daniel Goffman's book, The Ottoman Empire and Early Modern Europe here.
