What if some of the changes we blame on aging aren't simply about getting older? Changes in sleep, energy, cholesterol, bone density, skin, mood, and metabolism can sometimes be connected to shifting hormones and underlying imbalances that began long before menopause. Yet many women aren't encouraged to pay attention until their symptoms become disruptive—or their routine test results finally fall outside the standard range. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, I'm joined by Marina Moiseyeva, a board-certified family nurse practitioner and specialist in integrative, regenerative, and anti-aging medicine. Marina believes that healthy aging begins with prevention. Rather than waiting for a diagnosis, she encourages women to notice subtle changes, understand their individual patterns, and work with qualified healthcare professionals to investigate what may be happening beneath the surface. We talk about the important relationship between hormones and longevity, why "normal" test results don't always tell the entire story, and how sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and emotional well-being can influence the way we age. Marina also explains why women may benefit from paying attention to their hormonal health in their 30s and 40s—not only once menopause arrives. We discuss thyroid health, vitamin D, collagen, cycle tracking, and why the most impressive wellness technology can't replace the foundations of a healthy lifestyle. This isn't about trying to stop aging or chasing a perfect hormone level. It's about becoming informed, asking better questions, and supporting your body so you can remain strong, capable, and engaged in the life you've worked so hard to create. In this episode, we discuss: ·         Why hormonal changes can affect more than hot flashes and periods ·         The relationship between estrogen, progesterone, thyroid health, and aging ·         Why prevention may need to begin before obvious menopause symptoms appear ·         The difference between a standard reference range and an individualized assessment ·         How tracking your cycle and symptoms can reveal early patterns ·         Why thyroid results need to be interpreted alongside symptoms and medical history ·         The roles vitamin D and other nutrients play in overall wellness ·         Why progesterone changes may affect sleep ·         How sleep supports hormonal, metabolic, and emotional health ·         The connection between estrogen and collagen ·         Why collagen support begins inside the body ·         When biohacking becomes another source of stress ·         Why joy, relationships, and emotional well-being belong in any longevity plan ·         The difference between lifespan and healthspan ·         How to become a more confident advocate for your health About Marina Moiseyeva Marina Moiseyeva is a board-certified family nurse practitioner, certified diplomate in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, and founder of Harmonious Life Family Health in Brooklyn, New York. With more than 16 years of healthcare experience, Marina specializes in integrative, functional, nutritional, regenerative, and anti-aging medicine. Her prevention-focused approach considers nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, emotional health, and each person's unique medical history. Marina is also the author of Harmonious Healing Blueprint: Biohacking, Regeneration, and Health Resilience.

OVERVIEW: For years, women have been taught to chase smaller. A smaller body. A smaller number on the scale. Smaller meals. Smaller portions. Smaller everything. But as we move into our late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, the goal cannot just be getting smaller. The goal needs to be getting stronger. In this episode, I am talking about why muscle is truly the currency of longevity and why building and preserving muscle is one of the best investments a woman can make in her long-term health. Muscle is not just about looking toned. It supports your metabolism, blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, bone health, posture, balance, strength, independence, and resilience as you age. This is especially important for women in midlife. Hormonal changes, stress, poor sleep, years of dieting, under-eating, and random workouts can all contribute to muscle loss over time. Inside this episode, we cover: Why muscle is one of your greatest assets as you age Why women need to stop chasing smaller and start building stronger How muscle supports metabolism and body composition Why strength training is essential after 35 The difference between random workouts and structured training Why lifting too light may be holding you back Why under-eating can sabotage muscle and metabolism How GLP-1 users can protect muscle during weight loss One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is focusing only on the scale. But weight loss without muscle preservation is not the goal. The goal is not just weight loss. The goal is better body composition. That means preserving and building lean muscle while reducing excess body fat in a way that supports your hormones, metabolism, strength, and long-term health. If there is one thing I hope you take from this episode, it is this: muscle is not vanity. Muscle is about the kind of life you want to live 10, 20, and 30 years from now. If you are ready to stop guessing and you want a customized strategy that helps you build strength, support your metabolism, and create sustainable results after 35, apply for coaching or take the Phase Assessment Quiz linked in the show notes.

REPOSIÇÃO HORMONAL – SAÚDE URGENTE 010 Além de proteger contra doenças cardíacas e osteoporose, a Terapia de Reposição Hormonal pode ser útil para outro mal: a artrite degenerativa. O risco de osteoartrite nos quadris pode ser cortado em cerca de metade nas mulheres que tomam estrogênio por pelo menos 10 anos. Quando a terapia é interrompida, o benefício desaparece.

In this week's episode, we sit down with Dr. Sameena Rahman, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN and menopause & sexual medicine expert, and podcast host of "Gyno Girl". After pivoting from academic medicine at USC to a private practice where she could treat patients on her own terms, she now solves the isolating problem of women "not feeling like themselves" due to hormonal chaos. We explore the deeper "why" behind midlife—reclaiming agency by refusing to normalize discomfort, addressing the mental toll of the "perfect storm" of life stress, and understanding how to stop your hormones from stealing your essence. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: ➡️ The Truth About Perimenopausal Rage: Why your "short fuse" is actually a cellular reaction to estrogen receptors from head to toe. ➡️ HSDD 101: A guide to Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and the "Biohacking" tools—like testosterone and neurochemistry shifts—used to revive your libido. ➡️ The "Karen" Myth-Busting: Why many midlife outbursts labeled as "Karen" behavior are actually untreated hormonal dysregulation. ➡️ The Rage Ritual: Why we need to ditch "aging gracefully" for cathartic releases like primal screaming and "letting it rip" to maintain sanity.

Já fizemos um episódio sobre a menopausa, mas a verdade é que, tanto entre as mulheres como entre os médicos, quando o assunto é terapêutica hormonal de substituição há sempre muitas dúvidas. Afinal, quais é que são os riscos? Quem é que pode fazer? Que hormonas são estas? Qual é a diferença entre um gel, um spray, um adesivo ou um comprimido? Quanto tempo é que se vai fazer o tratamento e em que situações é que os benefícios ultrapassam os riscos? Para responder a todas estas dúvidas, neste episódio de Consulta Aberta temos connosco Rita Maia, médica de família com formação específica em menopausa pela British Society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is not about scaring you. Fear does not produce good health decisions. It produces paralysis, or overreaction, and neither of those is what I am after for you.This episode is about something different. It is about helping you understand that what your body is doing right now, however subtle it feels, is communicating something about your future. And that the gap between where you are today and where you could be in ten years is significantly influenced by what you do in the window you are currently in.Today I am getting concrete. Three areas where waiting carries the highest cost. Three areas where earlier action produces outcomes that later action simply cannot replicate. Autoimmunity. Hormonal and metabolic dysfunction. Brain health.Inside this episode, we cover:Why autoimmune disease does not begin at the diagnosis, and what research shows about the window that precedes itThe three-hit model of autoimmune development, and why two of the three hits are modifiableHow the metabolic mess becomes the immune mess, and what that chain reaction actually looks likeWhy the word "just" has cost more women more years of their health than anything else: just hormones, just stress, just aging, just perimenopauseThe actual physiology of how adrenal strain, cortisol dysregulation, gut compromise, and sex hormone decline create one tightening knot over timeWhy brain reserve is the area I feel the most urgency about, and what is actually happening underneath before the symptoms appearThe glymphatic system, estrogen, insulin resistance, and BDNF: what these have to do with your cognitive futureThree patient stories: one autoimmune, one hormonal and metabolic, one brain health, all with the same throughlineGenetics loads the gun. Lifestyle pulls the trigger. That is true for all three of these areas. And none of them are outside your influence, especially in the window you are currently in.This is not just about feeling better now. The person you will be at 60, 70, 80, the function you will have, the clarity, the independence, the capacity to show up fully for your life. That future is being shaped by the inputs happening right now.Share this episode with one woman who has a family history that scares her. Family history is information. It is not a sentence.

Jaume Segalés y los expertos de Mundo Natural hablan sobre la salud hormonal de la mujer.

BUFFALO, NY — July 13, 2026 — A new #review was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on June 26, 2026, titled “Hormonal dimorphism in sarcopenia disease.” The review was led by first author Romain Menard and corresponding author Romain Madelaine from the MDI Biological Laboratory, Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA. Sarcopenia—the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical function with aging—is one of the leading causes of frailty and disability in older adults. Although the condition affects millions of people worldwide and has been recognized as a disease by the World Health Organization since 2016, treatment options remain largely limited to exercise and nutritional interventions, with no approved medications specifically targeting the disease. Growing evidence now suggests that one reason for this limited success is that sarcopenia develops through distinct biological mechanisms in women and men. In this comprehensive review, the authors examine how biological sex influences the hormonal mechanisms underlying muscle aging. They focus on three peptide hormones—apelin, insulin, and oxytocin—and describe how age-related changes in these interconnected signaling networks contribute to muscle decline through distinct biological pathways in women and men. According to the review, women often experience an abrupt decline in muscle health during menopause as estrogen levels fall rapidly. This hormonal transition disrupts apelin signaling, accelerates insulin resistance, reduces oxytocin-mediated muscle regeneration, and impairs the function of satellite cells, the muscle stem cells responsible for repair and regeneration. In contrast, men generally undergo a slower, more gradual decline in muscle function that parallels progressive reductions in testosterone, resulting in different patterns of hormonal dysregulation and disease progression. The review also highlights the central roles of apelin, insulin, and oxytocin in maintaining healthy skeletal muscle. Together, these hormones regulate muscle metabolism, glucose utilization, mitochondrial function, protein homeostasis, inflammation, and satellite-cell activity through overlapping signaling pathways. Disruption of this hormonal network during aging is proposed to contribute to impaired muscle repair, reduced metabolic function, chronic inflammation, and progressive muscle loss.

✨ In this powerful episode, Denise Stegall shares how her own early perimenopause journey led her to become a guide for women navigating midlife hormonal changes.

What if the problem isn't your body? What if the real reason you feel frustrated with your changing body has nothing to do with motivation, discipline, or getting older? In Episode 265, The Midlife Body Disconnect No One Talks About, I explore why so many women lose touch with their bodies during midlife—and why reconnecting with the body you have today may be the missing piece to rebuilding midlife confidence. In this episode, I explain why so many women lose confidence when their bodies begin to change. Hormonal shifts, increased stress, changing priorities, and slower recovery all influence how we move and feel. Moreover, I discuss how constantly trying to recreate the past or comparing ourselves to unrealistic expectations only deepens frustration. Rather than fighting against our bodies, I encourage embracing this season with curiosity, compassion, and realistic expectations. Additionally, I talk about the "fix-it" mindset that keeps many women searching for the next perfect workout, diet, or wellness trend. Lasting confidence doesn't come from another plan—it comes from learning to listen to your body, honoring what it needs today, and letting go of the belief that you have to become the woman you were twenty years ago. Most importantly, I invite you to pause before your next workout and ask yourself a simple question: What does my body need today? Small promises kept consistently build trust, confidence, and strength far more effectively than chasing perfection. This season of life isn't about going backward. It's about moving forward with purpose, resilience, and self-compassion. If you're ready to reconnect with your body and approach this stage of life with renewed confidence, this episode will encourage you to take that first step. Remember, your spark isn't behind you—it's waiting for you to pursue it. Take one small action today and keep pursuing your spark. Links mentioned in the episode: 259.

Host Dr. Natalie Crawford sits down with Double Board certified maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Amanda Horton to unpack the hidden biological reality behind pregnancy complications. This episode cuts through the standard postpartum noise to explore how conditions like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes act as critical indicators for a woman's future health. By framing pregnancy as the ultimate physiological stress test, the conversation reveals why these nine months provide a vital window into long-term cardiovascular and metabolic wellness. It is a direct, eye-opening discussion on why the medical system's failure to connect these dots is one of the most consequential gaps in women's healthcare, and how you can advocate for your own future history. What You'll Learn: The hidden physiological stress test that unmasks underlying vascular and metabolic vulnerabilities before they manifest later in life. How a specific plumbing problem in the placenta triggers systemic high-pressure signals that permanently alter cardiovascular health. The critical timeline for postpartum preeclampsia risk that catches new parents off guard after they leave the hospital. Why a routine first-trimester clinical reading can mask pre-existing essential hypertension and cause missed opportunities for medical intervention. The specific hormonal mechanism produced by the placenta that dictates insulin resistance and elevates long-term type two diabetes risk. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – How pregnancy acts as a full body “stress test” and window into future health 08:21 – What pregnancy related high blood pressure can reveal about long term heart and blood vessel health 18:30 – How gestational diabetes, baby growth, and timing of birth offer clues about metabolic and vascular health 33:05 – Why birth complications like heavy bleeding or placenta problems matter for future fertility and pregnancies 38:46 – The importance of postpartum follow up and preconception visits to turn pregnancy history into a health roadmap Guest Resources: Instagram: @amandahortonmd Host Resources: Order The Fertility Formula! ⁠https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/book⁠ Newsletter: nataliecrawfordmd.com/newsletter Instagram: @nataliecrawfordmd Youtube Channel: Natalie Crawford MD Interested in becoming a patient?: Fora Fertility Earn FREE CE/CME: Learn at Pinnacle App This episode is brought to you by The Pinnacle Podcast Network.  Learn more about your ad choices.

While the experience was stressful (and honestly a little traumatic!), it revealed a powerful lesson about the way so many women approach their health.Too often, we spend our time chasing symptoms instead of asking the most important question:Where is this really coming from?Whether you're struggling with fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, poor sleep, hormone changes, or simply feeling like your body isn't responding the way it used to, your symptoms aren't random. They're messages. Your body is trying to get your attention and point you toward the system that needs support.In this episode, we'll explore why lasting healing doesn't come from covering up symptoms it comes from understanding the root cause and learning to work with your body instead of against it.Key Highlights:➡️ The hilarious (and chaotic!) hiking story that inspired this powerful health lesson.➡️ Why symptoms are messages—not the problem.➡️ How chasing symptoms can keep you stuck in a cycle of frustration.➡️ Why fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and weight gain are signals that deserve your attention.➡️ The importance of uncovering the root cause instead of relying on quick fixes.➡️ How to begin becoming the CEO of your own health.➡️ Why curiosity—not criticism—is one of the most powerful tools for healing.Key Takeaways:"Your symptoms are not random.

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 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 heartfelt solo episode, we're talking about one of the most misunderstood words in wellness: self-care.If you've ever believed self-care meant a spa day, massage, manicure, or buying the latest wellness gadget, this episode will completely change your perspective. Inspired by insights from Brené Brown and Mel Robbins, we're exploring what self-care actually looks like, and why it's one of the most important habits for thriving after 40.Together, we'll unpack why true self-care is about honoring yourself, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and creating daily and weekly rhythms that allow your body, brain, and nervous system to recharge. Because the healthiest, happiest version of you isn't built through perfection. It's built through consistent acts of self-respect.Key Highlights:➡️ What self-care actually is, and why it's so much more than massages, spa days, or manicures.➡️ Why honoring yourself by doing what you say you'll do is the foundation of true self-care.➡️ What Brené Brown and Mel Robbins teach us about feeling seen, heard, loved, and safe.➡️ Why women often spend decades putting everyone else's needs before their own.➡️ The hidden cost of constantly sacrificing your workouts, appointments, and personal recharge time.➡️ Why every week should include intentional time to decompress and stop producing.➡️ How creating a weekly rhythm can help reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout.➡️ Simple daily rituals that nourish your emotional health, nervous system, and mindset.➡️ Why slowing down and enjoying your routines is just as important as completing them.➡️ How simplifying your life can amplify your health, energy, and joy.Key Takeaways:"Self-care is honoring yourself by doing what you said you were going to do." – Kellie Lupsha"Most women spend their lives taking care of everyone else while forgetting to take care of themselves." – Kellie Lupsha"Your nervous system needs moments of peace just as much as your body needs nutrition." – Kellie Lupsha"Don't run your life until your battery reaches zero. Recharge yourself the same way you recharge your phone." – Kellie Lupsha"Simplify your life to amplify your life." – Kellie LupshaYour Midlife Self-Care ChallengeToday, choose ONE act of self-care that truly fills your cup.✨ Take a 30-minute walk outside without distractions.✨ Enjoy your morning coffee slowly and be fully present.✨ Schedule a weekly "CEO Morning" to organize, reflect, and recharge.✨ Journal or spend quiet time asking yourself, "What do I actually need today?"Remember...Transformation doesn't happen through occasional self-care.It happens through consistently honoring yourself every single day.1️⃣ Take The Activated Woman Quiz: Why Do I Still Feel Off No Matter What I Try?Finally discover what's really going on.

Nesta fase, existe um declínio progressivo da produção de hormônios como o estrogênio e a progesterona.

You've tried the topicals, the antibiotics, maybe even birth control — and your skin still isn't clear. That's because acne isn't a skin problem. It's an inside job. In this episode, Jensen, Kira, and Lacey break down the real root causes of acne — from gut health and mineral imbalances to blood sugar, hormones, and bile flow — and give you the actionable habits to finally address what's happening beneath the surface.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Your skin is an elimination organ — when your gut, liver, or lymphatic system is overwhelmed, it shows up on your face. Hormonal acne is rarely a hormone problem; it's usually a downstream symptom of things like blood sugar dysregulation, poor bile flow, or chronic stress. Healing your skin starts with foundations — sleep, minerals, hydration, and drainage — before jumping to testing or treatments.   CHAPTERS: [00:00:00] - Introduction: Why Your Skin Isn't Clearing [00:03:17] - Skin as an Elimination Organ [00:10:09] - The Gut-Skin Axis & Leaky Gut [00:22:28] - Mineral Imbalances & the HTMA Test [00:29:00] - Blood Sugar, Insulin & Androgens [00:31:14] - Hormones Are a Symptom, Not the Root Cause [00:35:08] - Bile Flow & Estrogen Clearance [00:36:55] - Why You Break Out Before Your Period [00:43:18] - Actionable Habits: Sleep & Circadian Rhythm [00:50:44] - Hydration, Minerals & Blood Sugar Support [00:57:10] - Lymphatic Drainage for Skin [00:58:52] - Skincare Minimalism During Active Acne   RESOURCES & MENTIONS: High frequency wand (Amazon) — https://amzn.to/4oJ5sY2 Quinton Minerals - https://amzn.to/4w6nhCP Aussie Trace Minerals - https://amzn.to/4gqcnTJ / https://a.co/d/0gD6ueeX  My Circadian app - https://mycircadianapp.com/ Root Cause Reset program - https://www.lifestyleucoaching.ca/wellness-effect-906145 Blood Sugar Resource - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PUa-wZinrpzobigPES3bTW-5TwNOXVuK/view?usp=drive_link Psyllium husk (fiber support) Spearmint tea (for high androgens)   EPISODES MENTIONED: Inflammation episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-down-the-inflammation-rabbit-hole-ep-70/id1561267131?i=1000767549037  Circadian Rhythm 101: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plant-medicine-peptides-relationships-a-candid/id1561267131?i=1000754622631  Lymphatic Drainage episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lymphatic-drainage-your-bodys-most-underrated-system-ep-68/id1561267131?i=1000764261331    Want to Work With Us?

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitalityIn this special episode, I sit down with Melissa to discuss a deeply personal journey that changed the way her family approaches health forever. After her husband Danny suffered three strokes in four years despite appearing healthy by conventional standards, Melissa began searching for answers beyond what traditional medicine could provide.Together, we explore the critical importance of supporting the body before a health crisis occurs and why optimal health requires more than normal lab work and the absence of symptoms. We dive into the emerging science of cellular activation, oxidative stress, brain health, cardiovascular wellness, and how activating the body's natural healing pathways may support long-term health and resilience.Whether you are looking to protect your brain, support a loved one recovering from a stroke, or simply want to be proactive about your future health, this conversation offers hope, education, and practical strategies to help you take ownership of your wellness journey.Key Highlights:➡️ Melissa shares her family's experience after her husband suffered three strokes before the age of 50.➡️ Why being thin, active, and having normal blood work does not always equal optimal health.➡️ Understanding the different types of strokes and the role of cardiovascular health.➡️ Why prevention begins years before symptoms or disease appear.➡️ The often-overlooked impact of chronic stress on long-term health and disease risk.➡️ The limitations of a symptom-based healthcare model and the importance of proactive wellness.➡️ The difference between supplementation and cellular activation.➡️ What oxidative stress is and why it plays a major role in aging and disease.➡️ How cellular activation supports the body's natural antioxidant, detoxification, and anti-inflammatory pathways.➡️ Why reducing oxidative stress may be one of the most important strategies for healthy aging.➡️ The powerful connection between gut health and brain health.➡️ How supporting collagen production may benefit blood vessels, brain health, gut integrity, and overall resilience.➡️ The role of neuroplasticity in stroke recovery and why the brain can continue adapting and healing.➡️ Key nutritional and lifestyle strategies to support cognitive health and brain function.Key Takeaways:"Our body actually has the perfect hardware system.

In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we sit down with Olivia Chasteen, Director of SymptoPro Fertility Education, to have an honest and empowering conversation about women's health, fertility awareness, and the gap between conventional care and true root-cause solutions. So many women are handed quick fixes, band-aid solutions that often mask symptoms rather than address what's really going on. Hormonal contraception is frequently prescribed as a way to “regulate” cycles, yet it doesn't actually restore or regulate the body's natural rhythms, and it comes with real side effects that can impact nearly every system in a woman's body. Olivia shares how the SymptoPro method, a sympto-thermal approach to Natural Family Planning (NFP), offers a science-based, effective alternative that works with a woman's body instead of against it. We explore the history and effectiveness of SymptoPro, including how it has helped couples confidently avoid pregnancy when used correctly, while also serving as a powerful tool for those trying to conceive. But this conversation goes far beyond family planning. Cycle tracking is a window into a woman's overall health. Whether married, single, trying to conceive, or simply wanting to understand her body better, charting can reveal valuable insights from hormonal imbalances to thyroid concerns, luteal phase defects, and more. Olivia explains how even women with no immediate fertility goals can benefit deeply from learning to read the signs their bodies are giving them each day. We also dive into the reality that charting isn't always straightforward—and that's okay. If your charts feel confusing or inconsistent, it doesn't mean your body is broken. It means there's more to uncover. Olivia walks through practical troubleshooting strategies and emphasizes the importance of individualized support and education. In a culture that often paints the female body as inconvenient or flawed, true healing begins when we learn to understand and respect what our bodies are communicating. There is real support. There are real answers. And there is real beauty in understanding your fertility. What the SymptoPro method is and how long it's been helping women and couples How effective SymptoPro is for avoiding pregnancy when used correctly How it supports couples trying to conceive Why cycle tracking is a powerful health tool for all women, not just those planning families What your fertility chart can reveal about your overall health Practical tips for when charting feels confusing or overwhelming Why one method may not fit everyone, and how to find the right approach for you The deeper issue with “quick fix” solutions in women's healthcare Olivia also shares her work as a Certified Lactation Consultant, wellness professional, and instructor serving families in rural Wisconsin where access to fertility education and medical support can be limited, yet deeply needed.

What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and your next breakthrough isn't a lack of effort, motivation, or strategy—but the fact that you're solving the wrong problem? In this eye-opening episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with entrepreneur, business strategist, author, and coach Kevin St. Clergy to explore the powerful concept of Blind Blaming—the hidden habit of misdiagnosing problems and focusing on symptoms instead of root causes. Kevin shares his remarkable journey from audiologist to multi-million-dollar business owner, revealing how he built and sold a thriving marketing and coaching company, overcame personal and professional setbacks, and developed a transformational framework that is now helping entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders create lasting change. From mindset and business growth to health challenges like sleep apnea and hormone imbalances, this conversation uncovers how blind spots can quietly sabotage success—and how coaches can better serve clients by identifying what's really holding them back. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What "Blind Blaming" is and how it affects business, health, relationships, and personal growth Kevin's incredible journey from audiologist to successful entrepreneur and business coach The life-changing childhood experience that inspired his book Beyond Blind Blaming Why solving the wrong problem keeps people stuck for years How coaches can uncover the true root causes behind client struggles The surprising health issue Kevin mistook for ADHD Why mindset often matters more than tactics when pursuing health and business goals The power of coaching, mentorship, and mastermind groups How to avoid analysis paralysis and build momentum through decisive action Why many health coaches fail to address mindset and identity shifts in their clients The role of sleep, hormones, and hidden health issues in weight loss resistance How limiting beliefs and self-sabotage impact business growth Practical ways coaches can improve client results by asking better questions Kevin's RCD Framework for Breaking Free from Blind Blaming One of the highlights of this episode is Kevin's simple yet powerful RCD Method: R – Reflect Ask yourself: "Is there something else going on that I can't see?" Before jumping to conclusions, take a step back and evaluate whether you're addressing the true source of the problem. C – Connect Seek outside perspective through: Coaches Mentors Mastermind groups Healthcare professionals Trusted advisors Often, the solution is hidden because you're too close to the situation to recognize it yourself. D – Decide Kevin's favorite version: MFD – Make a F*ing Decision** Progress requires action. Even if the decision isn't perfect, momentum creates clarity and opens the door for course correction. Why This Episode Matters for Health Coaches Health coaches often focus on nutrition plans, workouts, accountability, and behavior change. But as Kevin explains, many clients are unknowingly battling deeper issues such as: Sleep apnea Hormonal imbalances Limiting beliefs Identity conflicts Self-sabotage Poor mindset conditioning Without addressing these root causes, even the best coaching programs can struggle to deliver lasting results. This episode provides a valuable framework for helping clients uncover what is really standing in their way. Memorable Quotes from Kevin St. Clergy "People aren't failing at solving their problems—they're solving the wrong problem perfectly." "Every new level has a new devil." "When you know who you serve, you're not selling anymore. You're interviewing." "Reflect. Connect. Make a decision."   Final Thoughts Whether you're a health coach, entrepreneur, consultant, or someone striving to reach the next level in life, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that lasting transformation starts by identifying the right problem. If you've ever felt stuck despite working hard, Kevin's Blind Blaming framework may be the missing piece you've been looking for. Listen Now Tune in to discover how uncovering hidden blind spots can transform your health, business, relationships, and overall success—and learn why the question, "What am I not seeing?" may be the most important question you'll ever ask.

This is the conversation I have been waiting to have. If you are doing the breathwork, the meditation, the supplements, the protocols, and you are STILL feeling anxious, inflamed, bloated, and exhausted, this episode will explain why. My guest is Dr. Pedram Shojai, The Urban Monk. He is a New York Times bestselling author and a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and the man who first came on this show talking about stress and the nervous system. Years later, after a wild full-circle moment in a group coaching call, we are back together to talk about what he is doing NOW: the connection between the nervous system and the oral and gut microbiomes. In this episode we connect every dot for the midlife woman who has been told she is fine. The stress-and-biome loop. Why your mouthwash may be sabotaging you.  If you have been guessing about your gut and oral health and throwing supplements at a problem you have never tested, this is your invitation to stop guessing. WE GO DEEP ON: •  The full-circle story from The Urban Monk to the microbiome •  Why nervous system work alone is not enough in midlife •  The stress + biome loop and how it makes anxiety, fog, and bloat worse •  Oral microbiome 101: what it is and why it matters for your gut, heart, and brain •  The everyday things women are doing that are wrecking their oral biome •  Why generic probiotics often do not work •  Gut testing and oral microbiome testing demystified •  Pedram's personal first steps after seeing his own data •  Your this-week starter plan: 3 things to stop, 3 things to start TIMESTAMPS: •  00:00 — Cold open: the full-circle story •  03:00 — Welcome + context for midlife women •  05:00 — From The Urban Monk to the microbiome (his journey) •  13:00 — The nervous system + biome loop •  21:00 — Oral microbiome 101 •  29:00 — Gut microbiome as the control center •  36:00 — Stop guessing, start testing •  42:00 — Pedram's own protocol •  48:00 — Biome + hormones + your starter plan + hope   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Dr. Pedram Shojai Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drpedramshojai/ Website ➜ http://midlifeconversations.com/oral    Thank you to our show sponsors:  MITOQ: Take control of healthy aging and longevity.

If you want the full episode, check the link in the description below. Listen to the full episode Listen to the full episode on iTunes If you have been told menopause is just hot flashes, aging, and something you have to "push through," this episode will challenge that entire narrative. In this episode, I sit down with Maria Claps and Kristin Johnson, the founders of Wise and Well and authors of The Great Menopause Myth. Maria is an FDN practitioner, and Kristin is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner board-certified in holistic nutrition. They are plainspoken friends, practitioners, and menopausal women themselves who are deeply passionate about helping women thrive in midlife. Maria and Kristin combine clinical experience, personal experience, nutrition, lifestyle strategies, lab testing, mindset coaching, and hormone replacement therapy education to help women understand what is really happening during perimenopause and menopause. In this conversation, we talk about why hormone health matters far beyond symptom relief. We discuss estrogen receptors, hormone replacement therapy, estradiol, estriol, cyclical progesterone dosing, hormone cycling, senescent cells, aging, brain health, vascular health, hair, joints, and the myths that continue to keep women confused and under-supported. This episode is for any woman who wants a more nuanced, educated, and honest conversation about menopause, HRT, bioidentical hormones, and what it means to truly age well. In The Full Episode, We Cover: Why hormone replacement therapy may impact overall health beyond hot flashes How estrogen receptors are found throughout the body, including areas like the eyes and ears Why optimal hormone levels may support hair, joints, brain health, vascular health, and quality of life How hormone cycling may better mimic the body's natural rhythms Why Maria and Kristin prefer cyclical progesterone dosing over static hormone dosing How static hormone dosing may contribute to breakthrough bleeding, water retention, or other unwanted symptoms Why estradiol is often misunderstood and feared despite its potential benefits How high doses of estriol may cause unwanted effects in some women Why topical progesterone may be helpful for women who do not tolerate oral progesterone well Why hormone health matters beyond symptom management How The Great Menopause Myth offers a different perspective on menopause and aging Why many women still receive inadequate medical support during menopause How misconceptions about hormone therapy can leave women isolated and misinformed Why more research is needed using bioidentical hormones How upcoming studies may compare traditional HRT to physiologic hormone restoration Why achieving hormone levels closer to a healthy younger woman may be beneficial for some women How proper hormone cycling may support lighter periods and fewer PMS symptoms Why the current narrative around menopause can hurt women     Sponsors Head to cozyearth.com and use my code HORMONES for 20% off sitewide! And if you get a Post-Purchase Survey, make sure to let them know you heard about Cozy Earth right here!     Are you in perimenopause or postmenopause and struggling with symptoms—but not getting the support you deserve?

You probably know someone who has a condition that, until last week, was known as PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome. It affects one in eight reproductive-aged women. But despite it being such a common disorder, patients are often misdiagnosed and have delayed treatment. Now, medical professionals are trying to change that. After 15 years of work, the condition has been renamed to PMOS, or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. The new name reflects the real driver of the condition: disruptions in hormones. But how much can changing a name really do? Click here to access resources about PMOS in multiple languages. Interested in more science?
