In this episode, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, sits down with Nora Cryan, co-owner and coach at Confidence Fitness, to talk about what fitness really needs to look like in midlife and beyond.This is not a conversation about quick fixes, extreme workouts, or chasing weight loss at all costs.Instead, Dee and Nora explore a holistic, sustainable approach to fitness that supports hormones, metabolism, joint health, nervous system regulation, and long-term vitality — especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.They discuss why many people feel frustrated when “doing all the right things” in the gym yet not seeing results, and how stress, recovery, nutrition, and training style all play a role in whether fitness is actually helping or hurting your health.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why fitness is essential for maintaining health, strength, and independence as we ageHow training needs change in midlife to support hormones and recoveryCommon mistakes women make with exercise that backfire long-termWhy more workouts or harder workouts aren't always betterThe role of strength training, mobility, and consistencyHow fitness should complement nutrition, sleep, and stress managementWhat a sustainable, results-driven training approach actually looks likeNora shares her perspective from years of coaching clients at Confidence Fitness in Attleboro, MA, emphasizing individualized programming, proper movement, and building strength that lasts — not just aesthetics.This episode is for anyone who wants to feel strong, capable, and energized — not burned out — and understands that true health is built through consistent, aligned habits over time, not shortcuts.

On this episode, Jared and Jen break down one of the most misunderstood hormone issues affecting both women and men: estrogen dominance. This isn't always about having “too much estrogen”—it's about a ratio problem, driven largely by low or depleted progesterone. You'll learn how estrogen is metabolized through different liver pathways, why some forms of estrogen are far more disruptive than others, and how liver health, gut function, stress, blood sugar, and environmental exposures all shape hormone balance. The episode also explores how estrogen dominance shows up differently in women and men, why symptoms often persist even when labs look “normal,” and how modern lifestyle factors quietly stack the deck against hormonal health.Jared and Jen also take an honest look at hormonal birth control, endocrine disruptors, seed oils, and genetic factors that can impair estrogen clearance—without fear-mongering or oversimplification. The episode closes with a clear, practical framework for supporting estrogen metabolism, restoring progesterone balance, and addressing the root causes naturally.Products:LiverVitalityEndoCleanseBack on TractVital D3/K2Ultimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexMagnesium BisglycinateAdditional Information:#588: The Hidden Epidemic Part 1: How Endocrine Disruptors Are Hijacking Your Health#589: The Hidden Epidemic Part 2: The Complete Endocrine Detox Strategy#595: The Estrobolome Explained: How Your Gut Shapes Your HormonesCheck out all five“Jen's Story” Episodes!Dirty Genes - Book by Dr. Ben LynchVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Many women are taught to view their periods as a nuisance—until midlife brings questions about hormones, bone health, and long-term wellbeing. What if losing your menstrual cycle is more than an inconvenience, and could hold keys to understanding your body's bigger story? Explore how understanding your period and hormones can help you make empowered choices for your health in midlife, with trusted insights from hormone health advocate Dani Sheriff. Reproductive health isn't just for young women or those trying to get pregnant—midlife presents its own set of challenges, confusion, and often frustrating medical experiences for women navigating irregular periods, missed cycles, and hormone shifts. Dani Sheriff shares her lived expertise as a former competitive athlete who lost her period for seven years and how reclaiming it was tied to her health, sense of self, and even her career. Natalie and Dani unpack the link between hormones, bone health, and brain function, and discuss why so many women—and their healthcare providers—overlook critical signals from the body. • Understand why period loss and irregular cycles matter for bone, heart, and brain health in midlife • Learn the warning signs of hypothalamic amenorrhea and why it's often missed • Find out why many women are misdiagnosed—and how to advocate for the right questions with your provider • Explore how nutrition, exercise, and self-compassion can help restore hormonal balance • Identify the emotional side of recovery and why community support makes a real difference Midlife women deserve clear, caring information about hormones—without fear or stigma.

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode, Robby Besner joins Dee Davidson for an organic, deeply informative conversation on toxins, mold, Lyme disease, infrared therapy, EMF exposure, and creating a truly healthy home environment in the modern world.Robby, co-founder of Therasage and a pioneer in infrared and bioresonance technologies, shares his personal journey into alternative healing after his daughter was diagnosed with Lyme disease decades ago—long before virtual medicine and functional testing were widely available. His story highlights how Lyme, mold, and co-infections are often misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or missed entirely, leaving many people stuck in chronic illness without answers.Together, Dee and Robby explore how modern living quietly disrupts hormone balance and nervous system regulation, from artificial lighting and EMF exposure to toxin overload and indoor air quality. They discuss why many people feel inflamed, exhausted, hormonally imbalanced, and “off” despite doing all the right things—and why deeper testing and environmental awareness are often the missing pieces.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The connection between mold exposure, Lyme disease, and chronic co-infectionsWhy Lyme often mimics autoimmune and neurological conditionsHow toxic load and stress overwhelm the nervous system and hormonesThe science behind infrared therapy, bioresonance, and structured waterWhy infrared saunas work differently (and more effectively) than traditional saunasHow EMF exposure impacts sleep, inflammation, and cellular healthWhy creating a safe, low-toxin home environment is foundational for healingHow infrared therapy supports detoxification, adrenal health, and resilienceWhy starting slow with detox tools is essential when the body is depletedThe importance of testing over guessing in modern functional healthDee also shares her personal experience using infrared therapy with herself and her children, highlighting how it has become a grounding, nervous-system-supportive part of their routine—modeling sustainable wellness habits for the next generation.The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on future topics, including air quality, EMF exposure, and environmental stressors, with plans for a follow-up episode later this year to dive even deeper.

In this supplement spotlight episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you will learn why folate is one of the most essential nutrients for women with PCOS—especially when it comes to hormone balance, mood support, and fertility. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, currently expecting, or simply aiming to improve your hormone health, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about folate, including how it works in the body and why not all forms of folate are beneficial.Folate's Role in Fertility, Hormone Balance, and MethylationYou will discover how folate, also known as vitamin B9, supports healthy ovulation, egg quality, and early fetal development, making it a critical nutrient before and during pregnancy. Beyond fertility, folate plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell repair, red blood cell production, and hormone metabolism. You'll also learn how it helps reduce elevated homocysteine levels, which are often linked to inflammation and miscarriage risk in women with PCOS.Why the Form of Folate Matters: Folic Acid vs. L-MethylfolateIn this episode, you'll explore the common MTHFR gene mutation that affects up to 60% of women and learn why folic acid, the synthetic form found in most prenatal vitamins, may not be effective for many individuals. You'll discover why L-methylfolate or 5-MTHF is the preferred and most bioavailable form, especially for those with MTHFR mutations, and how unmetabolized folic acid can actually increase hormone imbalances, fatigue, and inflammation.How to Choose a Quality Folate SupplementYou'll gain practical guidance on how to read supplement labels, which forms of folate to look for, and what to avoid. This episode breaks down recommended dosages and explains why methylated B-complex or prenatal formulas that include B6, B12, and L-methylfolate are often the most effective. You'll also get tips on how to identify reputable brands and ensure your supplements are third-party tested for safety and effectiveness.Final Thoughts on Folate and PCOSThis episode wraps up by emphasizing that folate is not just a fertility supplement, it's a foundational nutrient that supports many aspects of PCOS healing. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of why folate matters, how to choose the right form and dose, and how to integrate it into your holistic hormone health plan.

How would your energy levels change if your cells could actually repair themselves? In this episode, I discuss with Jessica Berman why phosphatidylcholine (PC) might be one of the most overlooked—but most essential—nutrients for women over 40. Jessica grew up in a family of scientists intensely focused on cellular health, and she breaks down the science in a refreshingly simple, practical way. Together, we dive into how PC strengthens cell membranes, supports hormones, boosts brain function, and helps you stay resilient in a toxin-filled world.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how specific herbs in our cycle-based tinctures support your hormones in a real, clinical way—not just "woo" or wishful thinking. We talk through five key herbs you'll find in my Estrogen support and progesterone-support tinctures—red clover, angelica, white peony, Vitex, and red raspberry leaf—and what they actually do in the body: How red clover helps your estrogen receptors work properly (without "adding more estrogen") so you can calm brain fog, mood swings, and night sweats. Why angelica and white peony are powerful blood- and yin-tonics that support your liver, improve hormone metabolism, and ease estrogen dominance symptoms like heavy bleeding and ragey PMS. How white peony and Vitex work on the luteal phase to support progesterone, stabilize your cycle, and improve PMS, sleep, and even fertility. Why red raspberry leaf is a true uterine tonic that supports cramping, irregular cycles, and overall uterine health. I share how these tinctures are used in a cycle-specific way (Estrogen days 1–14, progesterone support days 15–28), why tincture form is so much more potent and adjustable than a one-size-fits-all capsule, and how they fit into a functional medicine approach—layered with nutrition, lifestyle, and, when needed, hormone testing. Black Friday deals  If you've been curious about trying the tinctures or finally getting a DUTCH hormone test, this is the best time all year to do it: Black Friday Tincture Sale (11/24–12/1) 15% off all tinctures Plus free shipping Use code BFSALE at checkout https://nutritionforyourhormones.com/ These are ideal if you're dealing with: Heavy or painful periods Mood swings, anger, or "rage" PMS Night sweats, brain fog, or irregular cycles Perimenopause shifts that suddenly make your cycle feel unpredictable DUTCH Test Black Friday Offer (now through 12/1) If you're ready for deeper answers and a customized plan, pair your tincture support with a full comprehensive hormone test and consultation. $100 off the DUTCH test through 12/1 Grab your discounted test here:

A simple guide to hormone balance for women. Understand what your cycle symptoms mean and how restoring key systems can improve energy, mood, and overall health.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared opens part one of a powerful new series on what he calls the hidden epidemic—the widespread and silent impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on hormones, brain chemistry, metabolism, and long-term health. After more than a year and a half of deep research, Jared and his wife Jen have uncovered how these chemicals mimic hormones, block receptors, interfere with detox pathways, disrupt neurotransmitters, and contribute to challenges like fatigue, low motivation, stubborn weight gain, PMS, anxiety, sleep struggles, and declining testosterone in both men and women.This episode explains why the endocrine system is struggling more than ever, how EDCs create thyroid chaos, hormonal imbalance, and neurochemical disruption, and what steps you can begin taking right now to start clearing these compounds from your environment and your body. If you've been dealing with symptoms that “don't match” your lab work, if you've struggled to feel balanced despite doing the right things, or if you've suspected environmental chemicals may be affecting you or your family, make sure to listen to Part 2 and stay tuned for future episodes. This is a big issue, but there are real answers and we are bringing them to you very soon on Vitality Radio.Products:LiverVitalityEndoCleanseBack On TractVital D3/K2Source Naturals Nattokinase 50mg - Vitality Radio POW!

Most people assume their blood sugar is “fine” because their fasting glucose was normal at their annual physical.But here's the truth…

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Anthony DiSalvo, Maria's personal acupuncturist and California Board-Certified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and this one's all about real-life healing tools you can use daily. In this episode, Anthony breaks down how to naturally relieve constipation, allergies, and hormonal imbalances through simple acupressure points, herbal support, and daily habits. He also shares how hot water therapy can transform digestion, what your cravings reveal about your body, and how Chinese medicine helps with fertility, postpartum recovery, and UTIs. Maria and Anthony dive into how consistency and self-discipline are the secret ingredients for healing, and why you don't need to rely only on external treatments to feel better. You'll learn how to reconnect with your body, support your organs, and build harmony from the inside out! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Consistency creates healing. Acupressure isn't a one-time fix, it's a daily dialogue with your body. The more you show up, the faster your system learns to rebalance on its own. Hot water is medicine. Swapping cold drinks for warm or hot water soothes digestion, boosts circulation, and relaxes your body from the inside out. Healing allergies starts with strengthening your organs. Instead of masking symptoms, support your lungs, liver, and spleen so your immune system can finally calm and reset. Your hormones want harmony, not control. Chinese medicine works with your natural cycles to ease PMS, improve fertility, and make transitions like perimenopause smoother. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tlcholisticlife/?hl=en  Website: https://www.yudayimedicine.com/about-anthony-disalvo You can check out his courses here! https://courses.yudayimedicine.com/tlc-holistic-life ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

In this inspiring episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Functional Health Practitioner Dee Davidson sits down with her client Jayne, a vibrant, health-conscious woman who seemed to be doing everything right — clean eating, regular workouts, and all the “healthy habits” you'd expect.Yet behind the scenes, Jayne was running on empty — exhausted, moody, and frustrated that her doctors kept telling her, “Everything looks fine.”Together, Dee and Jayne unpack how functional lab testing revealed what traditional labs had missed: mineral imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and stress patterns that were quietly draining Jayne's energy. Through targeted nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle shifts, Jayne discovered that “normal” doesn't always mean optimal — and that true wellness starts when you finally listen to what your body is trying to say.If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” results but know something deeper is off, this episode will empower you to dig deeper and reclaim your vitality — one insight at a time.Ready to explore your own functional lab journey?Book a session with Dee here → https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourselfConnect with Dee on Instagram for daily hormone, gut, and mineral tips → HereDisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
