What if everything you've been told about cancer is based on the wrong science? I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this myth-busting episode, I sit down with Dr. Donese Worden, researcher, clinician, and one of 80 scientists worldwide leading the charge on the mitochondrial theory of cancer. Dr. Donese is co-founding the Society for International Metabolic Oncology and has worked with oncologists from MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, and top institutions globally to change how we approach cancer treatment at its root. We're pulling apart the misinformation in functional medicine, the dangerous trends in biohacking, and why conventional cancer care, while well-intentioned, is treating the wrong target. Dr. Donese doesn't work against oncologists; she works with them, using metabolic therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ketogenic protocols to improve chemo sensitivity, reduce side effects, and potentially target cancer stem cells that conventional care misses. You'll Discover: ●     Why only 5-10% of cancers are genetic but all conventional treatment targets DNA when the real cause is mitochondrial damage that creates cell respiration problems ●     How metabolic therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ketogenic diet support conventional cancer care by improving chemo sensitivity with fewer side effects ●     The dangerous truth about cold plunges: blood pressure spikes 50 points in seconds, has killed healthy people, especially risky for women with unbalanced hormones ●     Why wearables lie to women about sleep and recovery scores, and why listening to your body is more accurate than tracking devices ●     The Seven Pillars framework: a simple 1-10 self-assessment covering sleep, body, bowel movements, energy, mental state, relationships, and spiritual health ●     Why biohackers are often the most stressed people and how excessive tracking and forcing protocols prevents the body from healing ●     Why mitochondria are passed only through the female line and function collaboratively like matriarchal societies ●     The one biohack that's universally beneficial: sauna and heat exposure for cardiovascular health, especially advantageous for women ●     Why functional medicine practitioners giving glutamine to cancer patients are feeding the problem since glutamine is one of two pathways that fuel cancer growth   This episode is for anyone navigating cancer or complicated health cases, women frustrated by wearables and contradictory health advice, or biohackers wondering if they're making things worse. Watch now and discover why your mitochondria hold the answers.   Connect with Dr. Donese Worden: Website: https://drworden.com/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Your brain is not broken and your mind is not a mess. You're not failing as a mom. You're not falling behind as an executive. We need to restore your hormones. I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Romie Mushtaq, neurologist, Chief Wellness Officer for a company of 14,000 people, and bestselling author of The Busy Brain Cure, to expose the workplace crisis that's destroying women's careers and health. Dr. Romie shares her own story of burnout: 120-hour work weeks as one of less than 5% of female brain doctors in academic medicine, researching women's hormones while her own brain cells felt "on fire," chest pain dismissed as "just stress," and life-saving surgery in 2010 that woke her up to what medical school never taught her. But this conversation goes far deeper than one woman's story. We unpack the shocking data showing women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are being forced out of the workforce at a rate 15 times higher than men, not because they're failing, but because their perimenopause and menopause symptoms are being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and weaponized against them. You'll Discover: ●     Why women ages 40-60 are being laid off or taking involuntary leave at rates 15 times higher than men ●     Dr. Romie's burnout journey in academic medicine ●     The "hormones are a symphony" framework ●     Why 70-80% of women with mental health symptoms due to stress actually have thyroid as the root cause, with difficulty focusing being the only presenting symptom (mistaken for ADHD or anxiety), while weight fluctuations, dry skin, and irregular cycles come later ●     The truth about perimenopause symptoms ●     Why "authentic leadership" is BS in corporate America ●     The functional medicine gatekeeping crisis: complex gut health diet protocols for busy traveling executives who spend $3,000-$10,000 without getting help, told to "earn your hormones," when brain fog/anxiety sufferers need low-hanging fruit first (progesterone, thyroid) to feel better THEN add lifestyle changes ●     Why no supplement will replace thyroid hormone: if a doctor is selling you supplements instead of prescription medication, run. ●     Stress eating vs comfort food distinction ●     Business dinner survival tactics PLUS, Dr. Romie's "glow up" secret: lost weight, skin glowing, looks younger than 50, wasn't Botox (though she covers gray hair every 3 weeks), was thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone restoration, started thyroid at 38-39 years old and had regular menstrual cycle for first time in her life This episode is for women in their 40s-60s experiencing brain fog at work, executives who can't focus in meetings, anyone told their symptoms are "just stress," or women considering quitting their jobs because they think they're failing. Watch now and discover why you don't need to quit, you need your hormones restored.   Connect with Dr. Romie Mushtaq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drromie/ The Busy Brain Cure by Dr. Romie Mushtaq (bestselling book with 8-week protocol) https://drromie.com/book/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

If I really was caught up in people, I would have stopped a long time ago. You have to carve out space that feels most authentic to you. Social media is an amazing tool, but it's not the only tool. We have to quiet this noise somehow. If you lose, you don't get picked, that's not a failure. Everything doesn't have to be an announcement. You have to find another outlet versus feeling like you have to share. Be open to assisting. Know what you don't like.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Jalia Pettis 02:55 Journey into the Beauty Industry 06:01 Corporate Background and Entrepreneurial Spirit 08:55 Overcoming Challenges in Corporate America 12:14 Transitioning to Beauty School 15:12 Pursuing Competitions and Recognition 17:57 Achievements and Future Aspirations 24:32 Empowering the Next Generation 27:57 Navigating Social Media and Authenticity 34:29 Career Insights and Session Styling 42:01 Future Aspirations and Industry Impact   www.beautyschoolbobbi.com www.beautyandstylenetwork.com   Follow Beauty and Style Network: @beautystylenet Beauty School Bobbi: @beautyschoolbobbi Jalia Pettis: @jaliadp, jaliapettis.com 3Jay Productions: @3jayproductions, 3jayproductions.com

Midlife has a way of getting your attention, especially when your body starts changing in ways no one really prepared you for, and menopause is often right at the center of it. In this conversation, we talk honestly about what's really happening during this season and what women can do to feel more like themselves again. You'll hear how small, intentional shifts can lead to more energy, clarity, and resilience over time. This episode is about moving from just getting through midlife to actually feeling good in it.   I sat down with Dr. Sangeeta Pati, MD, FACOG, ABOIM, a Board-Certified OB/GYN and Integrative Medicine Physician with over 30 years of experience, and the Founder of MD Prescriptives and the SaJune Institute. We break down her simple but powerful five-point model covering hormones, nutrition, detoxification, mind-heart balance, and the physical body. She also shares how lessons from the Blue Zones apply to women's health, especially during menopause. Everything we discuss is practical, doable, and rooted in real science.   Dr. Sangeeta opens up about how her global work in maternal health and her own healing journey completely changed how she approaches women's care. We talk about stress, the nervous system, burnout, and why so many women feel overwhelmed in midlife. This episode connects the dots between everyday habits and the body's natural ability to heal. If you're craving a grounded, reassuring conversation about menopause, longevity, and whole-body wellness, you'll feel right at home here.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Joel Kraut, co-founder and managing director of BRRRR Loans, to explore the realities of long-term real estate investing, private lending, and sustainable financial decision-making. Drawing on decades of experience as an investor, lender, and former Wall Street trader, Joel challenges popular investing shortcuts and explains why slowing down and mastering fundamentals is often the fastest path to real wealth. The conversation dives deep into the limitations of the FIRE movement, the dangers of over-leverage, and how emotional decision-making derails otherwise solid deals. Joel shares lessons from market cycles, early BRRRR strategies, and hard-earned mistakes, emphasizing that success in real estate is far more about people, preparation, and honesty than chasing the newest strategy or acronym. Listeners will gain practical insight into what lenders actually look for in borrowers, how to present deals professionally, why organization and credit discipline matter, and how long-term relationships—not hype—drive consistent success in real estate. In this episode, you will hear: Why the FIRE movement often overlooks patience and foundational investing How Joel's early real estate and refinancing experience shaped his lending philosophy The real dangers of over-leverage and market-specific concentration risk What private lenders look for beyond credit scores and projections Why honesty, preparation, and organization matter more than clever deal structures How long-term relationships create repeat business and lasting wealth Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Your brain is not broken and your mind is not a mess. You're not failing as a mom. You're not falling behind as an executive. We need to restore your hormones. I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Romie Mushtaq, neurologist, Chief Wellness Officer for a company of 14,000 people, and bestselling author of The Busy Brain Cure, to expose the workplace crisis that's destroying women's careers and health. Dr. Romie shares her own story of burnout: 120-hour work weeks as one of less than 5% of female brain doctors in academic medicine, researching women's hormones while her own brain cells felt "on fire," chest pain dismissed as "just stress," and life-saving surgery in 2010 that woke her up to what medical school never taught her. But this conversation goes far deeper than one woman's story. We unpack the shocking data showing women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are being forced out of the workforce at a rate 15 times higher than men, not because they're failing, but because their perimenopause and menopause symptoms are being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and weaponized against them. You'll Discover: ●     Why women ages 40-60 are being laid off or taking involuntary leave at rates 15 times higher than men ●     Dr. Romie's burnout journey in academic medicine ●     The "hormones are a symphony" framework ●     Why 70-80% of women with mental health symptoms due to stress actually have thyroid as the root cause, with difficulty focusing being the only presenting symptom (mistaken for ADHD or anxiety), while weight fluctuations, dry skin, and irregular cycles come later ●     The truth about perimenopause symptoms ●     Why "authentic leadership" is BS in corporate America ●     The functional medicine gatekeeping crisis: complex gut health diet protocols for busy traveling executives who spend $3,000-$10,000 without getting help, told to "earn your hormones," when brain fog/anxiety sufferers need low-hanging fruit first (progesterone, thyroid) to feel better THEN add lifestyle changes ●     Why no supplement will replace thyroid hormone: if a doctor is selling you supplements instead of prescription medication, run. ●     Stress eating vs comfort food distinction ●     Business dinner survival tactics PLUS, Dr. Romie's "glow up" secret: lost weight, skin glowing, looks younger than 50, wasn't Botox (though she covers gray hair every 3 weeks), was thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone restoration, started thyroid at 38-39 years old and had regular menstrual cycle for first time in her life This episode is for women in their 40s-60s experiencing brain fog at work, executives who can't focus in meetings, anyone told their symptoms are "just stress," or women considering quitting their jobs because they think they're failing. Watch now and discover why you don't need to quit, you need your hormones restored.   Connect with Dr. Romie Mushtaq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drromie/ The Busy Brain Cure by Dr. Romie Mushtaq (bestselling book with 8-week protocol) https://drromie.com/book/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Empowering Gig Workers  Tamara Laine is the founder of MPWR, a fintech services platform launching in 2026 to serve the some 80 million global gig economy workers.  This isn't the first founding experience for Tamara, here she is speaking with Nasdaq in 2023 regarding an earlier experience with Card Shop Live.  MPWR will focus on providing lending and support tools to gig economy workers who up until now face significant challenges accessing the financial services that W2 workers typically take for granted.  Their reach could be vast, Tamara is focused on the domestic market but also has her eye on markets in Africa and Asia where gig economy workers proliferate.   This sector is one we've been following at the podcast for some time.  Our parent company SMGraves Associates has been advocating for support opportunities by new services providers through their accelerators and economic development programming.  Tamara also gave us her perspective on artificial intelligence beyond just its beneficial use through her work, a discussion you don't want to miss.   Connect to Tamara  In her own words 'I started my career in documentaries and journalism, which taught me so much about human behavior and intent. Every day was fast-paced, but, more importantly, it was filled with talking to people about their problems, conflicts, or solutions. I learned that unique personalities brought unique solutions to every situation. Now as a team leader, I see the value of every teammate's perspective, insights, or roadblocks and how that could be something to utilize for growth.'

Can you be lean and metabolically unfit? Can you be overweight and metabolically healthy? Most of the world's type 2 diabetics are lean. Weight is not the issue. It's a distraction from what actually matters: metabolic fitness. Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Beverly Yates ND to shatter the myths about metabolic health, weight, and diabetes, especially for women over 40. In this conversation, Dr. Yates reveals the silent signs of pre-diabetes most doctors miss, why the "eat less, exercise more" advice fails women after menopause, and the five steps of the Yates Protocol that helped women reverse type 2 diabetes after 25+ years, without deprivation or restriction. What We Cover: ●     Weight is not the issue, it's a symptom: Most type 2 diabetics worldwide are lean (not overweight), you can be lean and metabolically unfit OR overweight and metabolically healthy, doctors blame weight instead of looking at actual metabolic markers ●     The silent signs of pre-diabetes ●     Objective markers that actually matter: Hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, C-peptide ●     Why BMI is useless ●     Menopause changes everything metabolically: Loss of estrogen = increased visceral fat + insulin resistance (even with same diet/exercise), women have more microvascular disease than men, hot flashes linked to hyperdensities in brain (vascular damage) ●     Why lean people don't get diagnosed: Doctors assume "you're skinny, you're fine" without checking A1C/fasting insulin/C-peptide, visceral fat can be invisible (not always "beer belly"), third of teenagers now have pre-diabetes ●     The taste bud reset: Taste buds turn over every 10-14 days, they talk to brain about calories, diet sodas/artificial sweeteners trick brain → causes snacking 1-1.5 hours later PLUS, The 5 Steps of the Yates Protocol: (1) Nutrition, (2) Meal timing, (3) Stress management, (4) Sleep, (5) Exercise with emphasis on strength training. This episode is for women over 40 navigating menopause, anyone told to "just lose weight" by their doctor, pre-diabetics looking for real solutions, or anyone who wants to understand what metabolic fitness actually means. ✨ Watch now and discover why the strategies that worked at 30 don't work at 50, and what actually does.   Connect with Dr. Beverly Yates ND: Book: The Yates Protocol (Pre-Order NOW) Website: https://drbeverlyyates.com/the-yates-protocol-book/ Pre-Order Bonus: Upload receipt for undisclosed chapter not in book   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: ●     Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ ●     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book) https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/   More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery for weekly episodes on women's health, hormones, and functional medicine → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Listen on Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Listen on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Whether it's letting a toddler take the lead on a hiking trail or tasking a teenager with an independent errand, learn how to manage your own parental anxiety to foster an adventurous spirit. Discover how staying engaged—without being controlling—builds a lifelong relationship where your child feels safe to explore while still valuing your guidance.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Mariza Snyder discuss the transformative journey of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mariza shares her personal experiences with chronic migraines and how they led her to become a functional medicine practitioner focused on women's health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of chronic stress, and the necessity of movement and nutrition in reclaiming health. Dr. Mariza encourages women to envision their future selves and take ownership of their health journeys, while also addressing the societal pressures that contribute to stress and unhealthy habits. Takeaways Dr. Mariza's journey from chiropractic to functional medicine was driven by her own health struggles. Chronic migraines often affect women in perimenopause due to hormonal changes. Empowering women through health can create a multiplier effect in communities. Movement is essential for recovery and overall well-being. Functional health practitioners focus on root causes rather than just symptoms. Women often feel pressured to be busy, which can lead to chronic stress. Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but stress impacts health significantly. Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing health, especially regarding processed sugars. Insulin resistance is a growing concern for women in midlife. Reading and self-education can empower individuals to take control of their health.
