Brooke Ochojski woke up every morning already counting down to bedtime. As a successful med spa owner and mother living what looked like a healthy lifestyle, nothing made sense about her SIBO diagnosis, her perioral dermatitis, or the fact that being sick had become her entire identity. After exploring every avenue from acupuncture to functional protocols, she finally listened to the intuition telling her something else was wrong. What she discovered goes far beyond the implants themselves. This conversation reveals the heavy metals nobody talks about, the bacterial contamination found in nearly a third of capsules, and why gut healing requires more patience than any other part of recovery. Most importantly, Brooke shares what happened when she stopped trying to bounce back and started building something better than she had before. Connect with Brooke: Brooke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookeocho/ Skin N' Tox Aesthetics: https://skinandtox.com/ IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: Transform your relationship with recovery by releasing the toxic pressure to "bounce back" to who you were before Recognize why the women who heal deepest give themselves permission to become someone new Discover why SIBO, skin issues, and crushing fatigue kept returning despite clean eating and every functional protocol Understand how heavy metals like tin create neurologic symptoms that look like early cognitive decline Break through the myth that explant surgery is the finish line instead of the starting point for real healing CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Parasite Expert Reveals Why Your Test Failed (76% Miss Rate) with Sinclair Kennally 2 Years After Explant Surgery: Madison's Transformation with Dr. Robert Whitfield

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women's Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I are breaking down something a lot of people get wrong about peptides. We talk about why they don't work the same for everyone, what your body actually needs to respond, and how to set yourself up so that the results you want aren't just a shot in the dark. If you've ever felt frustrated with expensive protocols, confusing advice, or “miracle” fixes that don't deliver, this episode is for you.Key Highlights:➡️ What peptides really are and why thinking of them as signals instead of magic fixes changes everything.➡️Why two people taking the exact same peptide can experience completely different results.➡️How your gut microbiome controls whether peptides can even communicate with your cells.➡️The surprising ways inflammation can block your body from responding to peptides.➡️The role of NRF2, the cellular “master switch,” in creating an environment your body can actually heal in.➡️The order used to set the foundation before introducing peptides for lasting results.➡️What "cell safety" really means and why your cells might be stuck in constant fight-or-flight mode without you even realizing it.➡️The subtle, but powerful, changes women notice when their body finally starts working with them.Key Takeaways:“Two women can take the same peptide… One feels energized, stronger, clear-headed, younger in her body. The other feels… nothing.” -Kellie Lupsha"The microbiome is the gatekeeper of our health... it will be on guard and help those peptides, those signals to be absorbed, interpreted, utilized, optimally."- Dr. Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

There is one question underneath almost every message we receive.Is this safe?Is it safe for my child? Is it safe during pregnancy? Is it safe while breastfeeding? Is it safe if I am sick? Is it safe after chemo? Is it safe to keep taking the supplements when my child has an ear infection?My friends, we are asking the wrong question.In this episode, we are going to dive deep into the safety of rebalancing, and just as importantly, the flip side of that conversation, which is what actually happens when we leave bad bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, parasites, heavy metals, and toxins in the body.Most people who find their way here have tried just about everything. You have likely tried every elimination diet, tried so many different supplements, you've spent hours and hours at appointments with different practitioners hoping someone would finally connect the dots, you've been told to wait it out, you've been told it's normal, you've been told that your child will outgrow it or that your symptom will just go away with time, and you've probably been given medications that suppress your or your child's symptoms but don't actually address the root issue. So of course you're skeptical, because when you've tried so many things and nothing has truly worked, it's easy to start losing hope.I know because I was you. I was in your exact place when I was trying so desperately to heal my son. I remember thinking, if it's really as simple as his gut needing to be rebalanced, why didn't one of the seventeen doctors I took him to tell me about this sooner? And underneath that question was a lot of fear.Rebalancing is not about doing something extreme. It is about giving the body the opportunity to finally reset, regulate, and heal instead of continuing to survive around a problem that will not resolve on its own.Healing is not the risk.Ignoring what the body has been asking for is.Thanks for listening!

Dr. Eric Gordon—Medical Director at Gordon Medical Associates and President of the Gordon Medical Research Center—joins Dr. Karlfeldt for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to help “end-of-the-line” patients with complex, chronic illness. With 45+ years of clinical experience and deep involvement in research on ME/CFS, Lyme disease, and autoimmune conditions, Dr. Gordon offers a grounded, clinician-to-clinician look at why so many patients remain undiagnosed, misunderstood, or stuck despite seeing multiple providers.In this episode, you'll learn why chronic illness is rarely “in the book,” and why recovery often requires detective work across toxin load, infectious burden, genetics, immune dysfunction, and environmental triggers. Dr. Gordon breaks down how modern medicine's siloed specialties can miss multi-system patterns—and why tools like advanced testing and AI may become essential to sift exploding research (like microbiome discoveries) into something clinically useful. They also explore the evolving landscape of long COVID research, the importance of identifying patient subtypes (instead of lumping everyone into one diagnosis), and what this shift could mean for faster, more affordable healing.If you've tried the “usual” protocols and still don't improve, this conversation reframes the journey: why complexity doesn't mean hopelessness—and how the next wave of systems biology, smarter data-mining, and targeted interventions may finally change the game for chronic fatigue, Lyme, mold illness, and beyond.Key Topics CoveredWhy “complex chronic illness” usually isn't a simple diagnosis—and why that matters for treatmentThe “end-of-the-line” patient: what it means when you've already seen many good doctorsHow toxin load, infections, genetics, and terrain combine into a personalized illness patternWhy medical silos and protocol-based care often fail complex patientsMold exposure and mycotoxin sensitivity: why environment can block progressMast cell activation and reactivity: why treatment tolerance can be a major barrierThe microbiome information explosion—and why AI is becoming necessary to interpret itGarbage-in/garbage-out in AI: why context and quality data still matterLong COVID as a turning point: validating post-viral illness and advancing immune researchThe importance of subtyping ME/CFS, long COVID, and Lyme presentations to find what actually works _______________________________The Karlfeldt Center offers the most cutting-edge and comprehensive Lyme therapies.

  What if PCOS, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune disease aren't lifelong sentences—but clues your doctor is missing?     In this powerful episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with bestselling author and patient advocate Daria Anne DiGiovanni to unpack decades of unanswered symptoms, medical gaslighting, and the truth about functional medicine. Daria shares her deeply personal journey through PCOS, insulin resistance, endometriosis, and Hashimoto's—and how conventional medicine repeatedly failed to look upstream.     Together, Lisa and Daria break down why the insurance-based healthcare model isn't built for chronic illness, how subtle symptoms get dismissed for years, and why women must take ownership of their health data, labs, and healing decisions. You'll learn how fasting insulin, inflammation markers, and hormone balance reveal what standard bloodwork often ignores—and why investing in the right practitioner can be life-changing.     This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with unexplained symptoms, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalance, or frustration with the "just deal with it" medical mindset.    

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women's Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I pull no punches and speak straight from the heart about the one thing so many women over 40 are silently struggling with: postponing their lives. It's not about lack of motivation or laziness, it's about losing touch with aliveness, that deep, purposeful energy that makes life feel juicy, meaningful, and expansive. I share why waiting for the “right time” is costing you your joy, confidence, and future self, and how just one aligned decision can reignite everything.Key Highlights:➡️ The real reason you feel stuck isn't laziness, it's disconnection from aliveness.➡️ “Later” is a slow leak draining your energy, joy, and confidence.➡️ Aliveness is not the same as excitement, it's sustained engagement rooted in purpose.➡️ You don't need to “feel ready”, readiness is a myth that keeps you waiting.➡️ Energy doesn't come before action; it follows movement and decision.➡️ Overthinking, people-pleasing, and normalized exhaustion are silent dream-killers.➡️ One small, aligned step—even if it scares you—can shift your entire trajectory.➡️ Your comfort zone might feel safe, but it's where growth goes to sleep.➡️ High performers don't wait for motivation; they choose how they want to feel.➡️ Choosing aliveness now pays off in confidence, clarity, health, and an expansive life.Key Takeaways:“You're not unmotivated. You're not lazy. You're disconnected from aliveness.”- Kellie Lupsha“Stop putting life off. Start living like you are meant to live.”- Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, host Cade Archibald sits down with Derek Norsworthy, CEO of NeuroCatch, to explore a breakthrough approach to cognitive assessment using objective “brain vital signs.” Derek shares how NeuroCatch evolved from decades of neuroscience research into a point-of-care tool designed to measure cognitive function with lab-level sensitivity—helping clinicians move beyond subjective questionnaires and “you seem fine” evaluations. Together, they discuss how NeuroCatch is used to establish baseline brain performance, track improvements from longevity and brain-optimization protocols (including peptides, stem cells, HBOT, red light, and other interventions), and detect subclinical cognitive changes that may not appear on MRI/CT or standard assessments. Derek also recounts his personal health journey from burnout and hormone disruption to functional medicine recovery, reinforcing the episode's theme: better outcomes happen when innovative technology and integrative care meet in the middle. Derek Norsworthy: I began my career as a clinical professional and evolved into a recognized leader in healthcare technology, specializing in the integration of electronic health record systems and innovation across large U.S. health systems.

Amber Warren, PA-C, is joined by functional medicine nurse practitioner Heather Lucas, MSN, FNP-C, to explain the science behind GLP-1–based therapies and metabolic weight loss. They break down how GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon influence appetite, insulin resistance, and fat metabolism, and discuss how therapies such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging triple agonists are used in metabolic care.This episode explores why improving metabolic health requires more than appetite suppression, highlighting the role of nutrition, strength training, sleep, stress, and gut health. Learn how peptides may be used as functional medicine tools to support fat loss, protect muscle, and improve long-term metabolic health.

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, host Cade Archibald reframes aging as a modular, systems-based process rather than a simple function of time. Drawing on the Hallmarks of Aging and the geroscience framework, Cade explores how different biological systems—immune function, mitochondrial health, stem cell signaling, cellular senescence, vascular elasticity, brain plasticity, and nutrient sensing—decline at different rates and influence one another. He explains how chronic inflammation acts as a unifying driver of dysfunction and highlights practical strategies to target specific aging bottlenecks, including nutrition, exercise, mitochondrial optimization, peptides, detoxification, and metabolic support. The core message: aging is not inevitable or uniform—it's engineerable. By focusing on system repair instead of surface-level anti-aging, we can enhance resilience, cognitive function, recovery, and long-term vitality.AGELESS FUTURE:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Longevity, Cash PT, and Skating Where the Puck Is Going In this episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Doc Danny talks about why he keeps coming back to one big theme: longevity. He looks at how the market around proactive health, functional medicine, and long-term performance is exploding and why cash-based clinics are perfectly positioned to play a major role. If you want to move beyond "fix the injury and discharge" and build an ongoing longevity offer, this episode lays out the opportunity and the mindset behind it. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why patient experience is a competitive edge in cash-based practices How Claire gives you an operational advantage your patients can actually feel Why Danny has always tried to "skate where the puck is going" in healthcare How cash-based PT went from rare to common in a decade Why functional medicine and longevity clinics are booming The role PTs can play as movement-focused, accountability-driven "quarterbacks" How one training partner's transformation turned into a walking case study Why generational health change makes this work bigger than a single patient Ways to start building or partnering into a longevity offer inside your clinic Claire: The Patient-Experience Edge in a Cash Practice Danny opens by talking about what really matters in a cash-based clinic: patient experience. When people are paying out of pocket, they notice everything. He makes a simple comparison: While your competitors step out mid-session to catch up on notes, you stay fully engaged. While they stay late at the clinic finishing documentation, you are following up with patients and planning their next visits. That is the competitive edge Claire gives you. Claire is PT Biz's AI scribe, trained specifically for physical therapists. It handles your documentation instantly in the background, so your time and attention stay on your patient, not on your EMR. The result: Better in-room experience Better retention and follow-up Smoother, more efficient operations Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai Skating Where the Puck Is Going Danny has always tried to pay attention to where health and wellness are headed, not just where they are today. Back in 2014, when he and his wife opened Athlete's Potential in Atlanta, cash-based PT clinics were rare. He only knew of one other in the city, but he saw more and more of them popping up on the West Coast, especially in California. That was his signal that a trend was forming. Fast forward more than a decade and there are now dozens of cash-based clinics in Atlanta alone. Many of them are true businesses with teams, multiple locations, and the kind of systems that support seven-figure revenue and even sales to private equity or hospital groups. That bet — skating to where the puck was going — paid off. The Next Wave: Longevity and Proactive Health Now, Danny sees a similar wave building around longevity and proactive healthcare. He shares the story of a training partner he has worked out with for the past couple of years. Together they have tracked: Blood panels year over year Body composition with tools like InBody Sleep and recovery data using wearables like Whoop The changes in that friend's biomarkers, physical capacity, and day-to-day energy have been dramatic. Friends who have known him for years almost do not recognize how much healthier and more capable he is. That kind of transformation is exactly what more people are starting to want. And the broader market is responding. Functional Medicine and Longevity Are Booming Danny points to the rapid growth of functional medicine, lifestyle medicine, and longevity-focused services as a sign this is not a fad. He has seen: Naturopathic and functional medicine clinics expanding quickly Providers leaving hospital systems to start proactive, integrative practices High-end gyms and programs charging tens of thousands per year for bundled health, testing, training, and recovery When he first looked for a functional medicine provider in Atlanta, there was one very expensive option. Today there are multiple. Even family members of his who were deeply rooted in traditional medical systems have shifted into functional and lifestyle medicine because they want to help people earlier, not just when they show up critically ill. The PT's Role in the Longevity Ecosystem Danny is clear: he is not saying physical therapists should try to become functional medicine doctors. Instead, he sees a natural lane where PTs can win: Movement and musculoskeletal health experts Accountability partners who help people actually implement changes Educators who can translate research and trends into safe, practical steps He has already tested this in small ways at Athlete's Potential — reviewing blood panels, talking through sleep data, adjusting training, and updating exercise programs over months and years as patients move from "out of pain" to "performing and staying healthy." For some people, that relationship has lasted for years, shifting from acute rehab to long-term physical and lifestyle coaching. Blue Ocean: Ongoing Longevity Coaching for the Right People Danny describes this longevity space as a "blue ocean" for the right clinics: There are more and more people who want proactive help with their health. There are relatively few trustworthy, movement-focused providers offering it in a structured way. He draws a line between evidence-based functional and lifestyle medicine providers and more fringe offerings that are heavy on hype and light on science. A clinical background, understanding of research, and experience with musculoskeletal care give PTs a strong foundation to cut through the noise for their patients. And you do not have to do it alone. You can: Build your own longevity-style continuity offer inside your clinic, or Partner with functional medicine or lifestyle medicine providers and stay focused on movement, strength, and physical capacity. Generational Health Change One of the most powerful parts of Danny's story is the ripple effect he has seen in his training partner's life. By changing his own habits — training, sleep, stress management, nutrition — that friend has also influenced his entire family and friend group. Kids see what their parents do and assume it is normal. Friends see what someone has done for their health and start asking questions. Danny calls this "generational health change." You are not just helping one person feel better. You are changing what feels normal for the people around them, including their kids. From "Your Knee Feels Better" to "What Do You Want Life to Look Like at 80?" So what does this look like in a practical way inside your clinic? Danny suggests starting with a simple shift in conversation once an injury is under control: Talk about how long they want to be functional and independent. Ask what they want life to look like in their 70s and 80s. Use the older adults you have seen on both ends of the spectrum as examples. From there, you can start to build ongoing support — programming, check-ins, movement testing, and education — that helps them move toward that long-term vision instead of just away from short-term pain. Is Longevity a Fit for Your Clinic? Danny is not saying every clinic has to add a longevity offer. If you like what you are doing now and your business is healthy, that is okay. But he does believe this is where a big part of the market is heading. People are more aware, more curious, and more willing to invest in staying capable longer. For clinics that want to play in that space, now is the time to start paying attention and experimenting.

What happens when the medical system tells you "there's nothing more we can do" - and you refuse to accept it? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman, family physician turned functional medicine specialist, whose entire medical philosophy changed after his adopted daughter Anna was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and given a hopeless prognosis. Despite being a doctor himself, Aaron watched specialist after specialist offer only medications, surgery, and limitations. But when he and his wife pursued a functional medicine approach - focusing on nutrition, nutrient deficiencies, fatty acids, hormones, and root-cause testing, Anna began to thrive against all odds. In this episode, we explore: The blind spots in the current medical model Why it takes 30 years for research to reach standard care How siloed, symptom-based medicine fails complex patients The power of never giving up, even after devastating diagnoses Why functional medicine focuses on connecting the dots, not chasing symptoms Testing that actually matters: nutrients, fatty acids, organic acids, hormones & more Overtraining, POTS, dysautonomia, hypermobility, and athlete burnout Why recovery, minerals, amino acids, and food-as-medicine are non-negotiable The role of omega-3 and omega-6 balance in inflammation and resilience Dr. Hartman is now the go-to doctor for complex and "uncurable" cases in Central Virginia, helping patients who have fallen through the cracks of conventional care reclaim their health and vitality. We also discuss his new book  UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds A moving account of his daughter's story and the transformation of his medical practice. If you've ever been told "this is just how it is",  this conversation will change how you see your body, your health, and what's truly possible. Dr. Hartman's Bio: Dr. Aaron Hartman's functional medicine journey began when traditional healthcare failed Anna, his adopted daughter with cerebral palsy. Despite being a physician, he felt helpless as specialists offered no solutions, only surgery and medications.   Witnessing his daughter's impossible transformation shattered everything Dr. Hartman believed about medicine. This transformed his entire practice of medicine and now he's become the doctor to turn to when all others have given up. He now helps patients reclaim their lives when conventional medicine says "there's nothing more we can do." His new book, "UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds," chronicles this transformation. A clinical researcher involved in 70+ studies and VCU Assistant Clinical Professor, he founded Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine in 2016.

Hey friend, As part of our January 2026 Reset, I'm revisiting some of the most foundational and impactful episodes from Functional Medicine for Christian Women. This episode is one I still come back to often—because it speaks directly to the women who feel like they've tried everything and are still stuck. If you're dealing with ongoing fatigue, hormone symptoms, anxiety, inflammation, or unexplained health issues—and you keep hearing that your labs look “normal”—this conversation is for you. In this episode, I walk you through why so many women stay caught in cycles of exhaustion and imbalance, even when they're doing all the “right” things. We talk about the hidden disruptors that are often overlooked, including: Chronic inflammation Stress and nervous system overload Environmental and internal toxin load Blood sugar and metabolic imbalance More importantly, I explain how a functional health approach helps us step back, look at patterns, and start addressing root causes instead of chasing symptoms. This episode also introduces the framework I've used for years to help women move from survival mode into steadier energy, clearer thinking, and long-term health. While the structure of my work has evolved, the foundation remains the same: your body is not broken—it's responding. As you listen, I encourage you to do this one thing: Don't rush to fix. Listen for what resonates. Notice what brings relief or clarity. That awareness is often the first step toward real change. What's Next

Believe it or not, but there is as much cardiovascular risk associated with smoking as there is with the drop in estrogen in perimenopause and menopause.  But don't worry–  I've brought the hilarious, talented, and brilliant Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj onto the podcast to dive into why midlife is a uniquely important—and often overlooked—window for cardiometabolic health, and what you can do about it.  In this entertaining episode, Dr. Bhojraj breaks down why the drop in estrogen matters just as much as traditional risk factors and why so many women's concerns are missed in conventional care.  We also reframe hormone therapy not as symptom management, but as a powerful tool for optimization, longevity, and long-term heart and metabolic health.  With humor and clarity, this conversation reminds you that you don't need to overhaul your entire life —small, strategic changes truly add up. Tune in here to learn how to simply and efficiently boost your health, starting with your heart!  Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj is an interventional cardiologist and Institute for Functional Medicine–certified physician who bridges conventional cardiology with functional and lifestyle medicine. He spent 20 years treating disease with procedures and medications, but then shifted his focus toward uncovering root causes to help patients reverse chronic cardiometabolic conditions through food, sleep, stress optimization, and lifestyle change. Dr. Sanjay is the founder of the Well12 program and host of The Curious Cardiologist podcast, where he explores the science of longevity, inflammation, and human performance. His passion is helping people reclaim their health through simple, lasting changes. IN THIS EPISODE How Dr. Bhojraj moved into functional cardiac medicine  What age to start paying closer attention to cardiovascular health Advocating for yourself and what labs you should be asking for  Why taking care of your cardiovascular health is crucial during midlife hormonal changes  Looking at your metabolic health before starting HRT  Metabolic markers to pay attention to in midlife  Non-negotiable small tweaks to improve your heart health  How bringing joy to your life can be the best tool for your health  QUOTES “We need to talk about sleep, we need to have an intelligent discussion about diet and what that means. And we need to think about hormones too, because hormonal health is so central to cardiovascular health, and that is just not something that we talk about in cardiovascular training.” “It's like contributing to your 401k in your twenties, right? Like $200 doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're 65, you're now retiring a millionaire– depending on how well you invest, because you made those small, little, little habits, those little changes. So that decade of the forties becomes super important, particularly because in women, that's when perimenopause starts to happen, right?” “The point is that I think first of all, start with something that you can do, right? Again, it's 1% shifts. You don't have to change a thousand different things.”RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Check out Dr. Sanjay's Signature Well12 Metabolic Program HERE! https://lagunamedicine.com/well12 Dr. Sanjay's Website Dr. Sanjay on Instagram Dr. Sanjay's Podcast: The Curious Cardioloist Dr. Sanjay on Facebook RELATED EPISODES  704: Hormone Intelligence for Women in Midlife: How to Thrive Through Perimenopause with Dr. Aviva Romm 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 678: How to Turn Perimenopause Into Your Metabolic Window of Opportunity + My Simple Daily Protocol To Feel Amazing #451: Why Do Women Have a Higher Cardiometabolic Mortality Rate Than Men?
