In this episode, Sally sits down with Dr. Lara Briden, naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Repair for Women. She's been called the period revolutionary—and after this conversation, you'll understand exactly why.We talk about the massive paradox in women's health:Society suddenly worships estrogen and progesterone when women hit their mid-40s……yet spent the last 60 years casually switching those same hormones off in teenage girls.Yep. We're going there.What We Get IntoWhy regular ovulation is not just “nice to have” — it's literally how young women make hormonesHow we got stuck in a 60-year loop of shutting down women's ovarian function (hint: the pill's “regulate your period” pitch started as a cover story)The weird disconnect between medical guidelines that say periods are a vital sign… and the normalization of medicating them awayWhat a healthy period actually looks like (spoiler: it shouldn't hurt and it shouldn't require you to white-knuckle your way through PMS)Why so many modern symptoms aren't “women being women”—they're the result of environment, lifestyle, and a system that never prioritized female physiologyAnd the big one: Did menopause evolve? Or is it some biological glitch because women are living longer?The Mic-Drop MomentsLara breaks down why menopause absolutely evolved on purpose—and why humans are more like killer whales than we thinkThe “grandmother effect” and why older women have always been essential for the survival of the tribeThe wild fact that among the Hadza, and other traditional-living communities, menopause brings zero symptomsThe reality that our cycles are meant to be signals, not punishmentsIf You've Ever Thought…“I guess this is just how my period is.”“This is normal for my age.”“Maybe my hormones just hate me.”…this episode might flip your worldview upside down (in a good way).About Dr. Lara BridenLara practices in Christchurch, New Zealand, helping women navigate PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and other hormone-health challenges. Her work bridges biology, history, anthropology, and real-world clinical wisdom.

At just 24, Maddie Pollack faced a life-changing Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis—and transformed her healing journey into a mission to empower women through holistic health and entrepreneurship. In this episode of She Leads, Maddie shares how her battle with cancer became the wake-up call that shifted her from an unhealthy lifestyle to becoming an integrative nutrition health coach. Now, she helps women reconnect with their bodies through a balanced approach that weaves together nutrition, mindful movement, and self-care. Her story is not only one of survival, but of reclaiming purpose and aligning wellness with leadership. Maddie dives into the personal health challenges that can arise in the wake of illness, from hormonal imbalances to stress-related symptoms. Maddie candidly reflects on her own experience with recovery and the lifestyle changes that helped her restore balance, including shifting from high-intensity workouts to strength training and yoga, and prioritizing protein-rich meals to stabilize energy and hormones. The conversation expands to highlight the overlooked realities of women's health, from PCOS and irregular cycles to the ways traditional studies have ignored female physiology. Listeners will gain practical insights into building sustainable wellness habits: nourishing the body with balanced meals, syncing workouts with menstrual cycles, managing cortisol through mindful movement, and embracing daily rituals like journaling, gratitude, and deep breathing to calm the nervous system. Maddie emphasizes that health is not about rigid routines, but about tuning into the body's signals and making adjustments that support long-term vitality. At its core, this episode reframes leadership and entrepreneurship through the lens of well-being. Maddie challenges the outdated narrative that success requires burnout and sacrifice, instead advocating for a model where women prioritize health as the foundation for growth, freedom, and fulfillment. Her reflections serve as a powerful reminder that honoring your body is not just a personal practice—it's a leadership strategy. Tune in to hear Maddie's inspiring story and learn how to cultivate balance, resilience, and true alignment in both business and life. Chapters
Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Elizabeth Katzman delve into the complexities of hormonal health, particularly focusing on the effects of birth control and the concept of the 'pill hangover.' They discuss the symptoms women experience after discontinuing birth control, the impact of hormonal contraceptives on overall health, and the importance of understanding the long-term effects of these medications. Katzman emphasizes the need for informed consent and the significance of addressing nutrient depletion and nervous system health in women transitioning off hormonal birth control. The discussion also covers alternative contraceptive options and the importance of education in empowering women to make informed choices about their health. Takeaways The term 'pill hangover' describes lingering symptoms after stopping birth control. Many women experience symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and hormonal chaos post-pill. Birth control can suppress ovulation and disrupt hormonal balance. Understanding the difference between progestins and bioidentical progesterone is crucial. Nutrient depletion from birth control can lead to various health issues. The nervous system's health is impacted by hormonal changes and nutrient deficiencies. Women should be educated about their menstrual cycles and hormonal health. Informed consent is essential when considering hormonal treatments. Alternative contraceptive methods exist that do not disrupt natural hormone production. Long-term health considerations should guide contraceptive choices.

Exposure to mold toxicity affects hormonal balance. You may not have been exposed to mold or you may not know that you've been exposed to mold. That mold doesn't always look like asthma or you getting sick, but it may look like a simple symptom that might be mistaken for menopause. Stay tuned to this episode and learn what mold exposure can do, what it might feel like and why you might simply mistaken your menopause symptoms when they could be so much more! My Guest: Dr. Jaban Moore is a Doctor of Chiropractic located in Kansas City who works virtually with clients through functional medicine to assist them in overcoming chronic health conditions. He went from being an award-winning college athlete to not being able to get out of bed. He sought out countless doctors looking for answers, but doctors only gave him “band-aid” solutions. He was later diagnosed with Lyme disease. After overcoming this complex infection, he helped clients discover the causes of their symptoms. Dr. Moore specializes in Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, autism, parasitic infections, and environmental toxicities. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:13:44] How does mold toxicity specifically impact hormonal balance during menopause? [00:18:45] What are the common symptoms women might experience if mold toxicity is impacting their hormones? [00:22:46] How can women identify if mold exposure is a hidden factor in their menopausal symptoms? [00:30:53] What detox strategies do you recommend for safely eliminating mold toxins from the body? [00:37:08] Are there specific biohacking tools or supplements you like that can support hormones during this detox process? [00:40:03] How long does it typically take to see improvements once mold toxicity is addressed? Why Mold Toxicity Affects Hormonal Balance More Than You Think What Mold Exposure Can Do? Fungus that grows on walls, food, flooring, etc. Beauty products, Botox, and lifestyle toxins contribute to a decreased immune system. Disrupts mitochondria, elevates cortisol, blocks melatonin. May cause exercise intolerance due to “backpack of toxins”. Symptoms of Mold Toxicity Chronic fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, GI issues, hormone imbalances Can trigger inflammation, autoimmune responses Mold symptoms are often mistaken for menopause Dr. Moore's Detox Roadmap Replenish nutrients (glutathione, potassium, sodium, B12) Open drainage (lymph, liver, bowels) Safe place - remove environmental toxins (air, food, water, hygiene products, dental and implants) Nervous system - address stress and trauma (therapy) Start detox using antimicrobials + binders (e.g., carboxy, pectasol) How long will it take? Mold detox alone: typically 3–4 months More complex cases: can take years Depends on sensitivity and co-infections Biohacking Tools That Work Infrared Sauna (160°F+) Red Light Therapy Lymphatic Drainage Castor Oil packs, dry brushing More advanced: Ozone Blood Filtering (EBOO), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF), Neural Therapy Most aren't required, but they speed up recovery Connect with Dr. Jaban: Website of Dr. Jaban Moore Facebook - Dr. Jaban Moore Facebook Group - True Healing Strategies with Dr. Jaban Instagram - Dr. Jaban Moore Instagram - @redefiningwellnesscenter_ Tiktok - @drjabanmoore_ Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - What Is Sarcopenia and How to Avoid Sarcopenia In Menopause Next Episode - Retired Lawyer Shares How to Advocate for Yourself & Loved Ones More Like This - How to Use Stress as a Tool for Hormone Balance Resources: Don't know where to start?

If you're frustrated by weight gain, depleted energy, or feel like your metabolism suddenly hit a wall, you're not alone—especially if you're navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause or menopause. In this empowering episode, health journalist Natalie Tysdal is joined by Stephanie Crassweller, international speaker, master's-level nutrition coach, and host of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast. Together, they dive into the not-so-obvious drivers behind women's metabolism in midlife—and what you can actually do about them. Expect practical strategies, compassionate insight, and the truth about why “eat less, move more” simply isn't the answer for women in this season of life. Learn how to work with your shifting hormones and stress response—not against them—to support sustainable energy, metabolism, and well-being. 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode Stress is the Unsung Metabolism Saboteur Chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt everything from sleep and gut health to thyroid function, making it harder to burn fat and easier to gain weight. Recognizing and managing stress is essential to healing your metabolism. Eating Less Isn't Always Better Undereating and inconsistent fueling push your body into fight-or-flight mode, increasing inflammation and triggering metabolic slowdown. For many women, doing less with more intention works better than pushing harder. Hormones Change the Metabolic Game As estrogen and progesterone decline, the body loses its built-in stress protection, exposing hidden issues with blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation. Understanding your hormonal landscape helps you make changes that work for your unique body. In This Conversation, We Cover Why traditional weight loss approaches often backfire after age 35 The hidden impact of under-eating and why breakfast matters Simple first steps for women overwhelmed by nutrition “rules” The difference between male and female metabolism How routines, meal prep, and smart shortcuts support success What Dutch testing is and when to consider hormone labs Why sustainable food swaps and real-life habits matter more than perfection More About This Episode Stephanie Crassweller brings decades of experience in women's health, holding a master's degree and certifications in nutrition coaching, functional health, personal training, and exercise therapy. In this episode, she explains how stress, sleep, under-fueling, and hormone shifts affect metabolism, especially in perimenopause and menopause. She and Natalie discuss how even “healthy” processed foods and common dieting advice can work against women's health goals. Instead, they share how to simplify nutrition, embrace whole foods, support hormone balance, and develop easy habits that reduce stress and increase energy. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your body feels different as you age—or if you've felt frustrated watching men lose weight faster with less effort. You'll walk away with real-world strategies to help your body work for you, not against you. Subscribe for More New episodes every Monday.

If you're tired, wired, and in pain—this one's for you. Insomnia, stress, and chronic discomfort often show up together, and we tend to treat them like separate problems. But what if they all stem from something simple… and fixable?Lyndsay Soprano talks with Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In, about the quiet power of magnesium. Not the kind in chalky pills or powders that mess with your gut—but in a cream your body can actually absorb. Natalie shares how magnesium supports everything from sleep and anxiety to inflammation, energy, blood pressure, and even mood swings.They dig into how magnesium deficiency flies under the radar, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how most of us—kids included—aren't getting enough. From ADHD to weight loss to workout recovery, magnesium plays a starring role in our well-being. And the truth is, food isn't always enough.This conversation is equal parts science and real talk. It's about understanding your body, getting ahead of burnout, and giving your nervous system the support it's been quietly begging for.Tune in if you've tried everything for your pain, sleep, or stress—and nothing's worked.

Cutting-edge medical advances are unlocking new ways to slow aging and enhance health.

Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this science-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how significant weight loss transforms fat tissue at a cellular level, creating metabolic changes that make results more sustainable. They explain how losing 16-20% of body weight through fasting remodels adipose tissue—reducing inflammatory leptin levels by 40% while increasing beneficial adiponectin—which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hunger even during extended periods without food. The hosts share why many people struggle to maintain their new eating patterns long-term despite initial success, and provide practical strategies for optimizing your lifestyle beyond the honeymoon phase. They emphasize how success comes from transitioning from seeing time-restricted eating as a temporary weight loss tool to adopting it as part of your identity, developing consistent schedules that become automatic rather than requiring constant willpower. This episode offers a comprehensive roadmap for optimizing both biological and psychological aspects of your weight loss journey, helping listeners move from short-term results to sustainable lifestyle change.
