Today I'm talking with Loretta Dignam, founder of the world's first menopause clinic. Following a bewildering and disappointing experience when menopause hit, Loretta realised that she was not alone in having little clarity about what menopause entailed, what symptoms can/should be treated and how, or which parts of this under-discussed experience women just have to suck up. Having started her research in her front room, she went on to discover that hundreds of the women she met had little reliable information on it. Not only that, a whole generation of health care professionals had been misled on the benefits and risks of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).  In this very frank chat, Loretta fills us in on her personal experiences along with her groundbreaking work to champion access to informed menopause treatment.

If you're a woman over 40 wondering “What is happening to me?”—this episode is your permission slip to get curious, not quiet. Dr. Jannine Krause and Theresa Lear Levine dive deep into the hormonal maze of perimenopause and menopause—from brain fog and bloating to ADHD symptoms and anxiety—and explain how these changes ripple far beyond your period tracker. We talk hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—the myths, the magic, and the marketing of “bioidenticals.” We break down the often-missed links between gut health, detoxification, emotional regulation, and your hormone story. And yes, we talk about the things nobody wants to admit: the not so pretty results of various cleanses, the relationship between estrogen, binge eating and emotional outbursts, and why relational healing is hormonal healing. This is the conversation your doctor probably hasn't had with you—but your body is begging for it.

If fat loss was as simple as "eat less, move more," 95% of diets wouldn't fail. Yet here we are — stuck, frustrated, and confused by all the noise. In this episode, we cut through the chaos and give you the real science behind sustainable fat loss strategies that actually work long-term. We break down: ✔️ Why excessive cardio, crash diets, and over-supplementing set you up for failure ✔️ The 3 pillars of successful fat loss: flexibility over restriction, strength training over endless cardio, and lifestyle integration over obsession ✔️ Why calorie flexibility, muscle mass, and managing stress are critical to lasting results ✔️ A rapid-fire myth-busting round (spoiler: carbs aren't the enemy, and fat burners aren't magic) ✔️ A simple action plan you can start today to finally build momentum without burnout This episode isn't about quick fixes — it's about giving you the knowledge and tools to create real, lasting change. Fat loss is a skill you can learn, not a game of luck or willpower.

Many women don't realize there's a big difference between synthetic progestins and natural bioidentical progesterone when it comes to hormone support. In this short episode, Tara breaks down the key distinctions between these two types of progesterone, explaining why bioidentical forms are the safest and most effective option for women in midlife. Tara highlights the potential harms of synthetic progestins—which are commonly found in birth control pills, certain IUDs, and some hormone replacement therapies—including increased risks of breast cancer, negative cardiovascular impacts, mood disturbances, and more. In contrast, natural bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, brain health, and overall well-being, without the risks associated with its synthetic counterparts. If you're on hormone therapy or using birth control, Tara encourages you to check what type of progesterone you're taking and consider making a switch if necessary. This episode is full of clear, empowering information to help you make the best choices for your long-term health as you navigate perimenopause and beyond.   Here's what you'll learn in this episode: What's REAL progesterone and what's FAKE? Tara breaks down the difference between bioidentical (aka body-identical) progesterone and synthetic progestins—and why you should absolutely care. Why progestins (the fake stuff) can be harmful Learn about the potential risks progestins carry, including higher chances of breast cancer, cardiovascular issues, and unwanted mood disturbances. How natural progesterone actually supports your health From better sleep to improved mood, bone strength, a happier heart, and even better hair—Tara reveals why this hormone is your BFF in midlife. Where these progestins are hiding Birth control pills, IUDs (hello, Mirena!), and even some outdated hormone replacement therapies are common culprits. Tara drops key brand names and what to watch out for (don't worry, she's listed them in the show notes too). What to do if you think you're on a progestin Tara offers concrete advice on how to talk to your healthcare provider about making the switch—and why there's almost always a natural, better alternative.   Commonly Used Progestins (synthetic forms): • Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) – used in Prempro, Provera • Norethisterone (Norethindrone) – found in some birth control and HRT pills • Levonorgestrel – used in IUDs (e.g., Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla, Liletta), birth control pills • Norgestrel – in some oral contraceptives • Drospirenone – in pills like Yaz, Yasmin • Desogestrel, Etonogestrel, Dienogest – in various contraceptive options   You may also enjoy these episodes: Episode 96: What is "estrogen kickback" when you start on progesterone HRT?

Ep 73: In today's episode, we're diving deep into menopause — what it actually is, what's really happening in your body, and why the old advice of "eat less, move more" just doesn't cut it anymore.We unpack the most common symptoms women experience during perimenopause and postmenopause, and how changes in blood glucose regulation play a major role in how you feel day to day.We also talk about why adrenal health matters more than ever, the role of hormone replacement therapy, and how strategic walking, strength training, and smarter eating can completely shift your body composition — and your quality of life — after 40.If you've been feeling frustrated, exhausted, or confused about your body lately, this episode will empower you with the real science (and real solutions) you deserve.Time Stamps: (0:00) Introduction(2:11) Hardened Heart(14:17) What Happens During Pre & Post Menopause(18:43) Common Symptoms (21:16) Why Eat Less, Move More No Longer Works(25:29) Blood Glucose Spikes(28:47) Hormone Replacement Therapy(32:41) Adrenals and Menopause(34:03) Lowering Glucose Spikes(37:44) Walking & Weight Lifting(42:15) Body Composition Post Menopause JOIN our ⁠FREE PRIVATE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY⁠Submit your questions ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grey Space Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grey Space Podcast Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grey Space Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Coryn on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Crysanne on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Disclaimer*Grey Space Podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information for educational purposes.

I wanted to do an HRT episode specifically for black women because most black women will enter peri/menopause earlier than their counterparts.There is also an understandable skepticism when it comes to medical modalities mainly due to historical and ongoing racial disparities.Disclaimer: HRT may not be for every woman but it can make a huge difference in the quality of life during peri/menopause.

Dr. Kirk Parsley, Performance Enhancement Physician + former SEAL, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 734, to uncover the shocking truth about mainstream sleep drugs and how they hijack natural processes like GABA without delivering true rest, how high-stress lifestyles demand recovery strategies, and why optimizing your sleep might just be the missing key to a better life, stronger communication, and lasting emotional resilience. "When you don't sleep very well, you're choosing to age faster. If you stay up for 20 hours, you've added 4 hours of damage, which means your brain is aging 25% faster. If you do this regularly, you will get neurological decline." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Get 20% Off Dr. Parsley's Sleep Remedy Sleep Remedy is designed to enhance the quality of your sleep, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

How he gave the SEALs sleep supplements to improve their sleep. Why sleep impacts all other aspects of well-being and performance. [23:15] Modern Lifestyle Changed How We Sleep How Kirk's work translated from the Navy SEALs to all people. Why he became a private health consultant. How stress ages us. Why the Industrial Age affected our sleep quality. [27:35] Super Sleeper Genes Why wearable data is not actionable. How we can't change what we don't measure. Why our genes define whether or not we suffer when we get less than 8 hours of sleep. How to treat insomnia using non-sleep deep rest. Why we need to mimic what our ancestors did to sleep well. The importance of creating a list of our worries.

[54:20] How to Navigate Sleep Deprivation As a Parent Why co-sleeping with our children is not essential. How each child has different sleep needs.

Why sleeping 4 to 5 hours a day for several years caused Kirk's health to decline. How he was helping the SEALs with their health issues but wasn't helping himself.

Why the consequence of suffering was that he got tired of suffering. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Lack of Sleep = Threat? "The only animal on this planet that sleep deprives itself on purpose is us. It makes evolutionary sense that our brains perceive lack of sleep as famine or threat because there's some kind of stressor going on. That is why people who don't sleep well or don't sleep enough have higher amygdala tone and higher stress hormones." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Benefits of Sleep "It takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. The benefit of sleep is the hormone production, the repair, the acceleration of your immune system, the consolidation of memories, the categorization of emotional events." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Your Brain Creates Waste Products "When you go to sleep, the neurons that hold the structure of the brain contract about 30% and they create little channels for the cerebral spinal fluid to flow through. There are ways for it to clear and get outside of the blood brain barrier and get rid of your waste products. If you don't clear that, it's toxic. It's a waste product. It'd be like if you leave feces in your living room, you don't get rid of it, it's toxic. And what happens is that your brain or your body attacks it. It's like a foreign object. So it's an inflammatory response." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Links From Today's Show  Kirk Parsley MD 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley – Sleep To Win 256 Navigating Transitions In Relationships, Health, and Wealth: Dr. Kirk Parsley & Krisstina Wise 591 Dr. John Lieurance | Biohacking Big Souls: How UFC Fighters + Big Wave Surfers Holistically Heal William Dement The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal MD 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

He dedicates a significant portion of his time to advising non-profit organizations that support the SEAL community and providing healthcare guidance and treatment to veterans. Operating his practice and supplement business from Austin, Texas, Kirk is an avid outdoorsman and fitness enthusiast. His philosophy is straightforward: our bodies are built on a 100,000+ year-old model, and we perform best by emulating the lifestyle we evolved to live, as closely as possible, striving to approximate the health metrics of our 25-30-year-old selves (the physiologic peak of most humans). Kirk firmly believes that 80% of health is derived from focusing on Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress mitigation, with a strong emphasis on Sleep. Website Instagram Facebook

Dr. Mikala Albertson joins Heather again today to continue an interesting discussion of how hormones play with our minds and can affect how we feel about our bodies. Today the conversation extends to perimenopause and beyond. Heather and Mikala talk about the pressure from social media influencers to do the "right things" to avoid symptoms of perimenopause and how some of these suggestions could lead us to really harmful places. They talk about supplements, feeling pressure during this season of life to "do something to fix it" and how there is hope that someday all these hormones will settle down. They also talk about Hormone Replacement Therapy or Menopause Replacement Therapy as Dr. Albertson prefers to call it and the benefits and cautions around it. They also talk about the great hope there is as we age to finally get past our body image concerns and focus on what's really important. If you are a woman entering her 40s or beyond who has struggled with body image issues, this episode is full of helpful information to encourage you as you age.

Have you tried HRT and adrenal support and it hasn't helped? You're meditating in the morning and you have the perfect relaxing routine before bed but you still wake up multiple times a night? In this episode I talk to Zenia who has tried all of these things and nothing has really helped. I explain why what she's tried so far hasn't worked and what imbalances in her body that are affecting her sleep have likely been missed so far. Addressing these imbalances will also help with ADHD and anxiety so she won't have to take strong drugs to bandaid her symptoms. We talked about accepting in the moment when you can't sleep but also not giving up on solving sleep issues because you don't have to live with poor sleep even if you're in perimenopause and have ADHD and adrenal issues (or HPA axis issues).  Resources mentioned in this episode:Episode 70: A powerful way to rewire your brain to sleep better Episode 173: How to calm your nervous system so you can sleep well Episode 18 Copper toxicity Sign up for a free Sleep Breakthrough call that will be aired on this podcast!

Today's disagreement is about transgender health care for young people and the future of the trans rights movement.Gender Affirming Care is a method of treating gender dysphoria by affirming a child's gender identity and tailoring medical and social interventions around this identity. This might begin with a social transition and often leads to a medical protocol that involves puberty blockers and then cross sex hormones.Almost a year ago, we had a conversation with leading national clinicians, Dr. Jack Drescher and Dr. Erica Anderson about the state of gender affirming care for young people in the United States. If you haven't listened to that episode, I highly recommend it as a helpful primer for this conversation. Since then, a lot has changed in the conversation about trans care for young people.In April 2024, the Cass report came out in the UK. It is one of the most thorough reviews of the evidence base for gender-affirming care. It also called into question the limits of what we know and don't know about care for minors. Right now, 27 states have enacted laws to ban or restrict the practice and the supreme court will be ruling on it later this year. And the United States has a new presidential administration who recently issued the executive order: “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation," which attempts to put forth a national ban on gender affirming care.We ask some important questions around gender affirming care and the trans rights movement. Have trans advocates and medical practitioners overstated the quality of the evidence base for gender-affirming interventions for minors?Brianna Wu is a political commentator and trans rights activist. She is executive director of the progressive Rebellion PAC.Dr. Marci Bowers is a pelvic and gynecological surgeon with more than three decades of experience in healthcare. Dr. Bowers was most recently the president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). She was the organization's first transgender president.Thank you to Brianna and Marci for coming together to have this critical conversation. It's a difficult topic and as you'll hear, a difficult conversation. But we need more of this. We need more people willing to come together and have hard conversations out in the open, and we really appreciate you both.This conversation is pretty “in the weeds” when it comes to youth gender medicine and the state of the research. If you have the context, that's great – you can skip ahead. If you don't, here is a highly efficient glossary:WPATH is the leading trans health organization in the world. Its “Standards of Care” or SOC - have served as the national guidelines for youth gender medicine in most gender clinics.The Standards of Care have evolved a great deal over time: SOC 6, published in 2001, required multiple psychological assessments and a period of Real Life Experience (RLE), living as the preferred gender, before any medical interventions. The most recent SOC, SOC 8, was published in 2022. It removed many of these requirements which activists have described as “gatekeeping.”The Dutch Protocol, also known as “watchful waiting”, is a more conservative alternative to gender-affirming care. It focuses on providing large amounts of psychological support and monitoring during childhood. If the dysphoria continues to persist, then putting young people on puberty blockers and cross sex hormones in late adolescence.Language around gender identity is constantly evolving. Brianna uses the term FTM (or Female to Male) to describe females who transition. For the same demographic, Marci uses “transmasculine.”We also talk about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS).Okay, that will hopefully create a solid foundation. Take a deep breath. Open your mind as far as it's willing to go. And prepare for a different kind of conversation on gender affirming care and the future of the trans rights movement.Recommended Reading and ListeningWPATH Standards of Care Version 8Last year's episode of The Disagreement about gender-affirming care: https://podcasts.apple.com/si/podcast/12-gender-affirming-care-for-children-and-adolescents/id1735027795?i=1000658885782

Send us a textWhen your brain feels like it's short-circuiting and your body seems to have a mind of its own, you're not losing your sanity—you might be experiencing perimenopause. In this raw, unfiltered follow-up episode, I dive deeper into the hormone changes that affect millions of women but remain widely misunderstood and poorly addressed by healthcare providers.Fresh from my own doctor's appointment, I share my personal hormone panel results and what they actually mean. Did you know that when your FSH level climbs above 30, it signals your body is desperately trying to stimulate estrogen production but struggling to do so? Or that during perimenopause, your hormone fluctuations are ten times more dramatic than what you experienced during puberty? These wild hormonal swings explain the brain fog, rage, depression, and physical changes that make you feel like you're losing yourself.I walk you through my decision to start Hormone Replacement Therapy, debunk outdated myths about HRT and cancer risk, and share practical strategies that have helped me manage symptoms—from collagen supplements to castor oil for skin (yes, really!). Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides the knowledge to advocate effectively for proper care.Text me your questions for next month's interview with a hormone specialist! Together, we'll navigate this challenging transition with greater understanding, faith, and the determination to reclaim our wellbeing.Connect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsShop my SOAP the Gospels Journal on Shopify: https://shopjoyfulorder.com/Watch this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Book a FREE 30 Minute Discovery Coaching Call: https://tidycal.com/joyfulordermedia/30-minute-meeting
