Send me a text!Honoring menopause as a life stage, not just a phase to get through acknowledges the weight of this transition. We live in a society that hasn't given much room to understanding women's bodies. While there is more information now than before, there are still large gaps in support for the physical, mental, and emotional experience of menopause. Too often, women don't even begin to ask for information until we are already experiencing the challenges of shifting hormones. We turn to managing symptoms instead of caring for this pivotal transition.   In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Marelda Rodrigues to join me in a conversation about honoring menopause as a life stage and yourself as deserving of care. Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Experiencing grief in physical transitionsSocietal norms, gaps in information, and becoming an advocate for yourselfHealth and self-care look different in different phases of lifeSlowing down and making room to learn your new body LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:NPR – Doctors Urge FDA to Remove Warning On Hormone Therapy for MenopauseLast Week Tonight – Make America Healthy AgainCollaborative Leadership from Boardroom to Patient-Centered Caregiving episode CONNECT WITH MARELDAWebsiteInstagram – Decide to HealInstagram – Sovereign Becoming Menopause Guide CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask Valerie (anonymous form)Sign up for Valerie's newsletterApply to be coached on the podcastSchedule an exploration callListen to the Unlimited Playlist This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters Collective Support the show

He also unpacks the design of his new trial, where people 60 and older will receive supervised training, advanced health testing, and wearables to measure everything from VO₂ max to sleep — all with the goal of predicting who benefits most from which type of exercise.In this episode:Why exercise is still the closest thing we have to a longevity drugHow mitochondria and protein health drive resilience as we ageWhat VO₂ max actually measures — and why it predicts lifespanThe role of genetics vs. lifestyle in how our bodies respond to trainingHow to get involved in Dr. Miller's NIH-backed exercise study at OMRFThis conversation is a reminder that slowing aging isn't about hacks or shortcuts — it's about moving, staying engaged, and using science to make every decade stronger than the last.

Today's guest is Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a powerful voice at the crossroads of advanced interventional cardiology and root-cause wellness. Dr. Bhojraj is board-certified in Cardiovascular Diseases and Interventional Cardiology, and one of only a small number of interventional cardiologists in the United States who is also certified in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Bhojraj earned his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, trained in internal medicine at Northwestern, and completed a cardiology fellowship at the renowned Henry Ford Health System. For over two decades, he practiced in conventional cardiology, saving lives daily with stents, angioplasties, and transcatheter valve replacements. But along the way, something essential began to stir. He found himself asking bigger questions: Why do people arrive in the cath lab in the first place? Why are we not doing more to prevent the first or second heart event? And what role do nutrition, sleep, stress, and emotional health truly play in long-term cardiovascular outcomes? These questions led Dr. Bhojraj to Functional Medicine, not as an alternative, but as an evolution, a model that restores agency to patients and equips the body to heal through comprehensive lifestyle optimization. He now leads the Well12 Program, a transformational experience that guides individuals in upgrading the foundational systems of their health from metabolism to mindset, so they can live not just longer, but better. Today, Dr. Bhojraj and I explore the remarkable protein Klotho and the emerging science linking it to human longevity and health span.

What if becoming a mother wasn't just a life event, but a profound transformation that reshapes your entire identity? In this episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown sits down with midwife and transformational coach Corina Fitch to explore the transformative journey of matrescence—the process of becoming a mother. Corina shares her personal experience transitioning from attending births to guiding women through the profound shifts of motherhood, especially after 35. The conversation highlights the emotional and physical changes women face, from stress and sleep deprivation to navigating career changes and societal pressures. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deep identity shifts that come with motherhood, the importance of self-care and support, and how women can embrace this transformative period with grace and empowerment.   Also in this episode: Stress, societal pressures, and environmental factors heavily influence a woman's ability to conceive, particularly in her mid-30s and beyond. Women experience significant shifts in identity during motherhood, demanding new levels of self-compassion and a reevaluation of personal values and professional ambitions. The absence of traditional village models for raising children has highlighted the necessity of building modern support networks to combat loneliness and shame in motherhood. When supported properly, the journey of becoming a mother — and navigating matrescence — can lead to profound personal and professional transformations.     About the guest:  Corina Fitch is a midwife, matrescence facilitator, transformational coach, and founder of MotherFly. With over 30 years of experience walking alongside women in their journey to and through motherhood, Corina blends her clinical background as a midwife and NICU nurse with training in Feminine Power, embodiment, motherhood studies, and identity transformation. Having personally navigated the tender thresholds of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and purpose after the births of her three daughters, she now guides overwhelmed and purpose-driven mothers to rediscover themselves through the sacred portal of motherhood. Her work helps women move from surviving to thriving, integrating both their motherhood and their mission, so they can bring the fullest version of themselves to their children and the world.   Facebook: MotherFly IG: motherflytribe Website: https://www.motherflymom.com/ Subscribe to the masterclass: From Burnout to Reconnection https://subscribepage.io/burnouttoreconnectionmb     The Women's Vibrancy Accelerator Trifecta: Your 90-Day Health Reset Ready to take your health to the next level?

What if everything you've been told about genetics and disease is keeping you trapped as a victim instead of empowered as the author of your health?

Together, he and Dr. Jenn explore how estrogen protects DNA integrity, why natural progesterone is vastly different from synthetic progestins, and how iodine and testosterone play overlooked but vital roles in breast cancer prevention.Along the way, they trace the history of hormone therapies—from DES and Tamoxifen to modern-day aromatase inhibitors—revealing both the progress and the persistent dogmas of conventional medicine. This is a conversation about evidence, empowerment, and the urgent need to rethink how we approach women's health.Because of its depth and importance, this conversation has been divided into two parts.
