Do you live with type 1 diabetes and finding that menopause is different for you? Or do you just want to learn more about the differences of type 1 and type 2? Then this episode is for you. Today's guest, Melissa Slemp, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was only 14 years old back in 1982, when managing the condition looked very different. After decades of navigating blood sugar highs and lows, and then later entering perimenopause, Melissa began noticing massive shifts in how her hormones affected her insulin needs, energy, and mood. Now, she's on a mission to change the conversation for women like her who are trying to manage both diabetes and menopause. We cover: Melissa's type 1 diabetes diagnosis story and what management looked like in the early 80s The key differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes Why menopause can totally wreak havoc on blood sugar regulation How hormonal fluctuations impact insulin needs and energy levels…and diabetics can witness this with their own eyes, just looking at their data and insulin needs. We talked about the role of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in improving glucose control and how it's different for those with type 1 Melissa Slemp is a functional health coach, host of the podcast Type 1 in Midlife, and advocate for women with type 1 diabetes navigating the complexities of hormonal change. She helps women regain stability, energy, and confidence through a holistic approach that combines lifestyle, nutrition, and bioidentical hormone therapy.

Ever wondered how women like Kris Jenner seem to age in reverse – and what's really going on behind those flawless "facelifts"? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carolyn Chang, one of San Francisco's top plastic surgeons, to break down what's fact, what's finesse, and what's just good timing. From menopause to maintenance, Dr. Chang pulls back the curtain on how aging really works, and why starting earlier might actually be the key to aging gracefully. If you've ever debated a little "tweak" or simply want to understand the science of facial rejuvenation, this one's for you. In this episode, we cover: Kris Jenner's latest facelift - what was really done (and why it worked). Why early intervention can lead to more natural, lasting results. How genetics, lifestyle, and maintenance all shape how we age. The powerful role of estrogen and menopause in facial aging. Top non-surgical treatments to refresh skin texture, tone, and elasticity. What to know before going under the knife and how AI and robotics are shaping the future of aesthetic surgery. Dr. Carolyn Chang is a board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon based in San Francisco and is known as one of the nation's leading experts in natural-looking facial rejuvenation, including the deep plane facelift, complex breast surgery, and body contouring tailored to post-menopausal and post-pregnancy changes. Every year she makes it to Castle Connolly's Best Doctors list, and her work has been widely featured in the media. You probably already came across her work. Harper's Bazaar named her to its Hot List of the 24 Best Beauty Surgeons in the country, and W Magazine recognized her as a top surgeon for revisional work. She's been on shows like The Doctors, CNN, and National Geographic, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker.

Ever feel stuck in "fight or flight" mode no matter how much you meditate, sleep, or eat well? You're not alone, your vagus nerve might be the missing link. This powerful nerve connects your brain to nearly every organ in your body and influences everything from mood and inflammation to digestion and hormones. Today, I'm joined by "The Vagus Nerve Doc", a functional medicine expert Dr. Navaz Habib to decode the science of the vagus nerve and show you how to strengthen it naturally for better resilience, hormone balance, and longevity. In this episode we dive into: What the vagus nerve really does and why it's key to your "rest and digest" response How chronic stress keeps your immune system stuck in inflammation mode The 4 types of stress that quietly sabotage vagus nerve function Why heart rate variability (HRV) is the ultimate measure of nervous system health The "VAGUS" protocol to optimize brain-body communication and lower inflammation How mindset, breath work, and nutrition support vagus nerve function during menopause Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," is a best-selling author of 2 books - "Activate Your Vagus Nerve" and "Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve" and host of The Health Upgrade Podcast. After using functional medicine to overcome his own health challenges, Dr. Habib built Health Upgraded, an online health program implementing his VAGUS protocol, to guide parents and professionals to enhance their health by unlocking the healing power of the Vagus nerve to reduce the effects of stress and inflammation.

Karen is a Certified Hormone Specialist, Transformational Nutrition Coach, and host of The Hormone Solution Podcast.

We cover: How to interpret hormone test results like FSH and estradiol (and why “optimal” matters more than “normal”) The role of sauna use in detoxification and hormone health (plus our personal routines) Why progesterone is powerful for mood, sleep, and bone health, even without a uterus What to consider if you're starting HRT later in life Strategies to support bone health beyond just HRT, and why DEXA scans don't tell the whole story The importance of personalizing your approach with a trusted provider RECOMMENDED EPISODES Sauna Use In Menopause: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/160-traditional-saunas-vs-infrared-saunas-for-menopause/id1531105768?i=1000626673903 Birth Control Truths In Menopause: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/harmful-effects-of-the-birth-control-pill/id1438772276?i=1000434176120 DUTCH Test Deep Dive: https://youtu.be/O_1Lp4bST5k?si=pctt57mfxdXD7bUR Weight Gain and HRT: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/217-estrogen-weight-gain-myth-or-truth-rowan-sanderson/id1531105768?i=1000665860209 HRT For Women 60+: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/starting-hrt-more-than-10-years-after-menopause-what/id1438772276?i=1000721295236 Progesterone Sensitivity: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/progesterone-hrt-sensitivity-pmdd-when-the-chill-pill/id1788570953?i=1000725275936 Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA here.

Is perimenopause depression real? Yes, and it's finally being talked about. In today's episode, I sit down with journalist and TV presenter turned author, Shelly Horton, who shares her deeply personal journey through perimenopause, depression, and the turning points that helped her reclaim her life. Her honesty, humor, and fierce advocacy will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to take action for your own health. We cover: How Shelly pivoted from being a well-known TV presenter to writing her new book I'm Your Peri-Godmother Why she never connected depression to menopause until it nearly cost her everything The one thing that probably saved her life (and could save yours too) Her personal strategies to overcome depression and live her best life today The role of support and HRT in her recovery Her campaign in Australian Parliament for GP education, workplace policies, and affordable HRT access What she wants every woman to know if you're struggling through perimenopause or menopause Shelly Horton is an Australian journalist, TV presenter, and women's health advocate whose career spans ABC, Channel Seven, and Channel Nine. Her own perimenopause journey sparked her mission to smash the stigma around menopause and inspired her bestselling book I'm Your Peri-Godmother: A Happily-Ever-After Guide to Kicking Perimenopause in the Ovaries. The book sold out on Amazon day one, and hit number one in the menopause category for four weeks. Shelly also co-founded Don't Sweat It – Peri & Menopause, a workplace training company helping organizations better support women through the menopause transition.

In this episode of Not Your Mother's Menopause, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back gerontologist and podcaster Zora Benhamou for a deeply personal discussion on her recent bilateral hip replacement surgery at just 54 years old. What begins as a conversation about lifestyle and health choices unfolds into an honest exploration of living with chronic pain, the challenges of delaying surgery, and the emotional weight of making such a life-altering decision. Zora shares her years-long effort to manage pain and preserve mobility without surgical intervention, and the turning point that ultimately led her to pursue hip replacement. Together, she and Dr. Lovely discuss the multifaceted contributors to early osteoarthritis, from genetics and lifestyle factors to the potential influence of menopause and shifting hormone levels. They also touch on the vital role of muscle strength in recovery, the importance of choosing healthcare providers you can trust, and the empowerment that comes with advocating for your own well-being. This conversation offers both practical insights and a sense of solidarity for women navigating similar challenges in midlife. If you or someone you know is dealing with joint pain or facing a similar medical decision, this conversation offers valuable perspective, reassurance, and a sense of community.

Is NAD really the fountain of youth, or just another overhyped supplement trend? From energy boosts to wrinkle reduction, the excitement is everywhere, but the truth is a lot more complex. In this episode, I sit down with biomedical engineer Courtney Van Bussum to cut through the noise. Courtney brings deep expertise in cellular and longevity science,, giving her a unique perspective on both the research and the real-world clinical applications. We cover: What NAD actually is and why it's essential for energy, longevity, and healthy aging. How to know if your NAD levels are low and whether it even matters. The biggest myths and misconceptions about NAD supplements. NAD changes in pre- versus post-menopause. Why precursors like NR and NMN may backfire if deeper pathways aren't addressed. Free and low-cost ways to preserve and recycle NAD naturally. What you need to know about the molecule 1-MNA (and why it may be more important than NAD itself). Courtney Van Bussum is the COO and co-founder of Longevity Launch Labs, an innovation incubator accelerating breakthrough products and companies in cellular and longevity medicine. With a background in biomedical engineering and early experience as a strategy consultant working with both Fortune 500s and startups, Courtney brings a rare blend of scientific insight and operational execution.

Have you heard about tantra, but assumed it was all about sex? Same here. But after this conversation with certified Tantra educator Dominique D'Vita, I realized I had it all wrong. In this episode, Dominique completely debunks the common myths about tantra and reveals how it can be a powerful path to nervous system regulation, deeper intimacy, and even greater vitality, especially in midlife. We explore: Why tantra is often mistaken for just “better sex” How tantra can help you reconnect to your body and life force The real reasons we carry so much shame around self-pleasure Why women in midlife may be craving more intimacy, and it's not just physical What the heck a soulgasm actually is (and how it feels) Dominique D'Vita is a Registered Nurse, Certified Tantra Educator, and trauma-informed Master Coach who helps women reconnect to their bodies, activate their pleasure, and live a more vibrant, turned-on life especially during perimenopause and menopause. She was working as a nurse for decades helping save lives, and then after her own encounter with a tantric lover, she realized that too many women were surviving but not truly living. Although she helps women in midlife to reignite their sensual energy, her program and practice is very much about helping us regulate our nervous system, and harness pleasure as a form of medicine to boost vitality, intimacy, and joy.

Do you have dry eyes—but not sure if it's hormonal or just aging? Wearing glasses but hoping to reverse your near- or far-sightedness naturally? Curious whether HRT, Lasik, or something else is the best option to protect your eyes from macular degeneration and cataracts? Then this episode is for you. Like many women, I started noticing changes in my eyesight in my 40s. I don't love wearing glasses, so I've been getting by with just one contact lens—but according to today's guest, Dr. Meenal Agarwal, that might not be the best idea. We cover: How menopause affects our vision and eye structure The top 3 ways to get rid of dry eyes (spoiler: it's not eye drops) What really works to protect against macular degeneration and cataracts The surprising role estrogen plays in eye health Whether supplements and diet can truly preserve or even reverse damage The truth about those online programs promising to improve your vision Microchips to improve eye sight - is this the future or now? Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a board-certified ophthalmologist with over two decades of experience in eye care, specializing in the prevention and treatment of age-related vision changes and a leading authority on the eye-brain connection. With a deep understanding of how hormonal shifts affect the eyes, Dr. Agarwal is passionate about educating women—especially those in perimenopause and postmenopause—on how to preserve their vision, manage dry eyes, and prevent degenerative conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. She combines conventional medical expertise with a holistic lens to help women protect one of their most vital senses as they age.

Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I'm starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts.

We cover: The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis What your DEXA scan doesn't tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs Which markers may be more important than BMD scores The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health PAST EPISODES: Can You Reverse Osteoporosis? https://youtu.be/JRrd52WsmXI?si=95SuFSiuQc2a2eDL Dr. Doug Lucas YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr_DougLucas Radiation Offset Protocol for DEXA scans: https://hackmyage.com/radiation-offset-protocol/ Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.

Do you have a pile of DNA files, lab results, or hormone panels floating around your computer—or worse, stuffed into a drawer? If you're taking hormone therapy, thyroid medication, or trying to optimize your blood sugar, you need a smarter way to track your data. That's why I invited Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, to show you how easy it can be to organize and interpret your health info with powerful, AI-driven tools. We cover: What lab tests midlife women should prioritize (beyond the basics) Why keeping your files in one place can help uncover patterns and root causes The tests that reveal how well you detox—and how this impacts your hormones How I've tracked my own data over 6+ years as a digital nomad Other platforms like Inside Tracker and QuestHealth—what you should know Joe Cohen is not a doctor—but he's a trusted names in genetics-based health optimization. As founder and CEO of SelfDecode, Joe helps thousands of people worldwide get personalized health recommendations based on DNA, lab results, and lifestyle data. After battling chronic health issues for years with little help from conventional medicine, Joe turned to biohacking, genetics, and self-experimentation. The result? A radically transformed life—and a platform that empowers others to do the same. 10% off SelfDecode with code ZORA at selfdecode.com https://selfdecode.com/?a_aid=64d785ac5a55e Contact Joe Cohen: Website: https://selfdecode.comInstagram: @selfdecodeLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/selfdecode Email for inquiries: info@selfdecode.com Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.
