You can't watch a single sporting event without being hit with an Ozempic commercial — but did you know that those GLP-1s everyone's talking about are actually peptides? Kyal Van Der Leest — nutritionist, naturopath, and the formulator behind LvLUp Health — breaks down which peptides actually work, which ones are all hype, and why the Swiss Army knife of peptides (BPC-157) might be exactly what your gut, your joints, and your brain have been begging for. Kyal gets into the oral vs. injectable debate (Kyal sells oral peptides and still admits most oral ones don't work — gotta respect that), why your midlife body composition changes aren't just about willpower, the mould exposure conversation that'll make you side-eye your hotel room forever, and whether microdosing GLP-1s is the smarter play.

Hey friend, Have you ever noticed that some weeks your sleep works and other weeks it completely falls apart? Do you ever wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and wonder why your body suddenly won't settle? Have you asked yourself, “Why am I so tired all the time?” even when you're trying to take care of yourself? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. If you've ever felt like your sleep and energy change week to week, you're not imagining it. Women's hormones operate differently than men's. Men's hormones reset on a 24-hour clock, while women's hormones shift throughout a monthly cycle, which means your body's recovery needs can change week to week. In this episode, I explain why the second half of the cycle often leads to sleep disruption, fatigue, and energy crashes, especially for women already managing chronic illness, stress, or poor sleep. You'll learn what is actually happening in the body, why these weeks can feel harder, and how simple habits from the Power 9 framework can support your body's recovery.

Over the last few years, perimenopause and menopause have finally entered the mainstream conversation. Hormones are being talked about more openly, and that's a good thing. Hormone replacement therapy is everywhere on social media, and for a lot of women in their late thirties and early 40s, that visibility creates a very fast conclusion. This must be hormones. Sleep changes, weight shifts, and fat accumulates in the midsection. Anxiety increases. Exhaustion takes over. Digestion, bloating, lower libido, brain fog. Suddenly, everything gets filed under perimenopause. Here's what I want you to become aware of today and the part my coaching team and I see every single week with women. Many women are jumping straight to hormones before it's actually time. Hormone decline is real AF and I know this from personal and professional experience. The symptoms are one hundred percent legitimate, but what many women are actually experiencing is often the result of years of accumulated health being pushed down the road, finally showing up loud enough that it can't be ignored any longer. In this episode, we'll be discussing the role hormones and your lifestyle foundations play during perimenopause and which one you should prioritize first.

Did you know that there's a specific day of the year when the risk of heart attack and stroke suddenly increases? In this episode, Dr. Emily dives into the science behind this phenomenon and explains why even a slight disruption in our sleep can affect our heart, hormones, and overall health. Our bodies operate on something called a circadian rhythm—our natural internal clock that tells us when to sleep, wake, eat, and repair. When that rhythm gets disrupted, even by just an hour, it can throw several systems off balance. Sleep isn't just rest. It's when the body performs critical repair processes. During sleep: Heart rate and breathing slow down Metabolism shifts into recovery mode The brain organizes and clears information from the day Hormones rebalance to prepare the body for the next day When sleep is disrupted, these systems don't reset properly. One of the biggest factors involved is cortisol, often called the body's stress hormone. When we are sleep-deprived or stressed, cortisol remains elevated longer than it should. This creates a cascade of effects, including: Increased blood pressure Higher stress on the cardiovascular system Disrupted blood sugar regulation Increased inflammation All of these can contribute to an increased risk of heart attack or stroke—especially when layered on top of chronic sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation also affects behavior and decision-making. Research shows that when people are sleep deprived, they are more likely to: Crave sugary or highly processed foods Experience bigger energy crashes Make poorer food choices Eat more frequently throughout the day This combination of poor sleep, stress hormones, and unhealthy eating patterns creates a cycle that can negatively impact long-term health. Sleep plays a powerful role in regulating metabolism, hormone balance, and brain health. During sleep, the brain essentially performs a "cleanup" process—strengthening neural connections, organizing memories, and clearing out metabolic waste. It's also when the body resets insulin responses and gives the digestive system a break. Without adequate sleep, these processes become disrupted, increasing the risk for issues like: Obesity Diabetes Cardiovascular disease Chronic stress While we can't eliminate daylight saving time ourselves, we can take steps to support our bodies during these transitions. A few simple strategies include: Prioritizing consistent sleep schedules Reducing evening screen time and technology use Supporting healthy nighttime routines Managing stress levels Being mindful of food choices when tired These lifestyle habits help support your circadian rhythm and give your body the recovery time it needs. Sometimes the biggest health risks aren't obvious—they're hidden in our daily habits. Understanding how sleep impacts your body can help you make simple changes that support better health.

Many people think of infrared saunas as a luxury wellness add-on. In reality, specific wavelengths of light can influence inflammation, circulation, detox pathways, and how the nervous system recovers from daily stress.I'm joined by Connie Zack, Co-Owner of Sunlighten, to break down how infrared actually works inside the body. We also talk about what makes infrared different from traditional saunas, why consistent heat exposure may support cortisol balance and sleep, and how to build a simple infrared routine at home.Connie Zack is the co-owner of Sunlighten and Sunlighten Day Spa. She previously worked as an executive marketer in the pharmaceutical division at Procter & Gamble. She helped build Sunlighten into one of the pioneers of infrared sauna technology incorporating near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths.What's Discussed:(00:00) Why light and energy may be one of the most overlooked tools for midlife health(03:09) The personal health crisis that led to building an infrared sauna company(08:33) How infrared saunas work differently than traditional heat-based saunas(14:44) Why hotter isn't always better, especially for women's hormonal health(18:44) How infrared exposure may help regulate inflammation and support circulation(21:04) Why cortisol, stress tolerance, and sleep become harder in midlife(28:05) A simple infrared routine beginners can follow at home(33:23) The most common sauna mistakes including hydration and mineral lossThank You to Our Sponsors:Sign up for The Well Drop NewsletterFind out more about Amber Berger: Website: http://thewelldrop.com Instagram: @thewelldropFind out more about Connie Zack (from Sunlighten):Website: https://www.sunlighten.comLinkedIn: @conniezackFacebook: @SunlightenSaunasInstagram: @sunlightensaunasYoutube: @SunlightenSaunasTHE WELL DROP
In this episode of Breaking the Rules, we explore when and why OCD tends to peak across the lifespan — and why symptoms often intensify during moments of growth, change, and meaning rather than out of nowhere.Drawing on clinical experience and developmental theory, this conversation looks at the predictable windows of vulnerability where OCD commonly emerges or flares: childhood and puberty, late adolescence and young adulthood, and major life transitions such as starting high school, exams, relationships, parenthood, grief, and identity shifts.Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, the discussion centres on formulation, psychoeducation, and normalisation — helping both clinicians and clients answer the critical question: why now?
“I want to feel confident in photos.”“I just want my jeans to fit better.”“I want to feel good in my swimsuit.”If you've ever looked at a picture of yourself and immediately started picking it apart… this episode is for you.So many women in their 40s and 50s find that body confidence becomes harder just as they're finally prioritizing their health and fitness. Hormones shift. Our bodies change. And the standards we've carried with us for decades can suddenly feel heavier than ever.But confidence doesn't come from reaching a certain number on the scale.It comes from how we treat ourselves, how we move our bodies, and the story we tell ourselves about who we are becoming.In this episode, we're talking about:• Why body image can feel more challenging after 40• Why photos and mirrors can distort the progress you're actually making• The difference between chasing weight loss and building confidence• How strength training helps reshape not just your body — but your mindset• A simple shift that can help you start feeling better in your own skin right nowIf your goal is better fitting jeans, more confidence in photos, or simply feeling strong and capable in your body again, this conversation will resonate.Because the real goal isn't perfection.It's walking into a room knowing you've been showing up for yourself.And that kind of confidence?It's built rep by rep.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d
Guénaëlle, que vous avez déjà entendu à mon micro, est une fervente “défenseuse” du cycle ovulatoire et, bien que cela soit encore un peu tabou, elle a décidé de lever le voile sur les effets néfastes de la pilule dont on ne nous parle jamais alors que nous sommes censées faire des choix libres et éclairés en matière de santé.On constate que de plus en plus de femmes ont recours à des méthodes contraceptives naturelles comme par exemple la symptothermie qui a, rappelons-le, une fiabilité pratique après formation de 98,2% ce qui est supérieur à la pilule (97,6%). Et face à ce vent d'émancipation des femmes qui en ont assez de subir des hormones de synthèse, on a régulièrement un lever de bouclier médiatique dénonçant des méthodes de grand-mères peu fiables, les diabolisant en les rendant responsables de la hausse des IVG, le tout sans réelle enquête journalistique. Alors pour contrer cela, nous souhaitons dans cet épisode aider les femmes à faire un choix libre et éclairé, adapté à la période de vie qu'elles traversent à ce moment précis sans pour autant dénigrer la pilule.Allez, à vos casques !—Pour creuser le sujet, n'hésitez pas à plonger dans le livre Troubles hormonaux, reprenez le pouvoir écrit par Guénaëlle Abéguilé, et suivez la sur son compte instagram ainsi que dans son article au sujet de la pilule.Vous êtes pro de santé naturelle et préventive ?

Ob natürliche Schwankungen, Erkrankungen oder medizinische Eingriffe: Gerät der Hormonhaushalt ausser Kontrolle, zeigt sich eindrücklich, welche Macht diese Botenstoffe haben und wie tiefgreifend sie unser Leben prägen. Kortisol: Wenn ein einziges Hormon alles durcheinanderbringt Béatrice hatte jahrelang auf den ersten Blick unzusammenhängende Beschwerden: Bluthochdruck, Stimmungseinbrüche, körperliche Veränderungen. Erst als sie aufgrund ihres neu diagnostizierten Diabetes eine Spezialistin aufsucht, wird klar: Eine seltene Krankheit bringt ihren Kortisolhaushalt aus dem Gleichgewicht. Testosteron: Verlockung, Risiko und der Preis der Manipulation Warum greifen so viele Sportler zu künstlichem Testosteron – und um welchen Preis? Der ehemalige Bodybuilder Gabriel bricht das Schweigen und schildert offen, wie schnell der Wunsch nach mehr Muskeln in einen gefährlichen, sogar lebensbedrohlichen Teufelskreis führen kann. Oxytocin: Das gehypte Kuschelhormon und sein therapeutisches Potenzial Oxytocin, auch bekannt als «Liebeshormon», fasziniert die Forschung, denn das Hormon beeinflusst Bindung, Vertrauen und soziale Nähe. Die Wissenschaft zeigt: Die Wirkung von Oxytocin ist vielschichtig. Gibt es sogar therapeutisches Potenzial? Schwangerschaft und künstliche Befruchtung: Ein hormoneller Tsunami Ob natürliche Schwangerschaft oder künstliche Befruchtung, Frauen wie Eponine und Elodie erleben, wie stark Hormone Emotionen, Ängste und das innere Gleichgewicht beeinflussen können. Von irrationalen Sorgen über extreme Stimmungsschwankungen bis hin zur postpartalen Depression: Der hormonelle Sturm kann überwältigend sein. Eponine, Elodie und ihre Familien erzählen. «Puls»-Chat – Fragen und Antworten zum Thema «Die Macht der Hormone» Wie weiss ich, ob ein Hormon verrückt spielt? Kann ich überhaupt etwas tun?

Joints that won't recover. Most people chalk these up to aging or stress. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz says they're all signs of chronic low-grade inflammation, and your body has been trying to tell you something. Unlike acute inflammation that heals a sprained ankle and moves on, chronic inflammation is an immune system stuck in fight mode 24/7, attacking nothing real and draining everything you have. He breaks down why your immune system is actually nocturnal, why morning sunlight is your body's natural anti-inflammatory, and why that post-workout soreness you wake up with is your biology working exactly as designed. The symptoms are hiding in plain sight. This conversation helps you finally connect the dots.

Use code HEHE at https://cozyearth.com/ for 20% off your order and treat yourself to the sleep you've been dreaming of. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Kristin Lasseter to unpack perinatal mental health with a focus on postpartum anxiety (PPA) versus postpartum depression (PPD), how they differ, and when “baby blues” may signal something more. While mood shifts are common in the early postpartum days, symptoms that persist beyond a couple of weeks, disrupt sleep, bring constant anxiety or sadness, intrusive thoughts, or thoughts of death deserve real support. They talk candidly about the guilt, shame, and fear of judgment that keep many women silent, and why telling one safe person can be a powerful first step. The conversation explores common risk factors like fertility struggles, pregnancy or birth complications, and PMDD, along with the significant hormonal shift that happens after the placenta is delivered and why the brain can feel especially vulnerable during that window. HeHe and Dr. Lasseter also navigate the often-stigmatized topic of psychiatric medication during pregnancy and postpartum. They discuss why abruptly stopping medication is usually unsafe, how to thoughtfully weigh medication risks against the risks of untreated mental illness, what research tells us about breastfeeding compatibility, and what to expect when starting or adjusting treatment. They touch on newer, faster-acting postpartum depression options, therapy modalities like CBT and EMDR, and additional treatments such as TMS and ECT. The episode closes with an honest conversation about bounce-back culture, social media pressure, and choosing support systems that protect a mother's mental health. Throughout, the message is clear: evidence-based care matters, suffering in silence isn't a badge of honor, and there is no shame in using medication when it's needed. 0:00 - Introduction: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum 4:36 - Postpartum Anxiety vs Postpartum Depression: Key Differences 6:01 - Normal Baby Blues vs Red Flags: When to Seek Help 9:51 - Intrusive Thoughts & Breaking the Stigma 17:26 - Medication Safety in Pregnancy: What You Need to Know 24:43 - Should You Stop Your Meds When Pregnant? 30:03 - Hormones & Mental Health: The Postpartum Crash 43:56 - Breastfeeding While on Psychiatric Medications 51:26 - How Long Should You Stay on Medication? 60:50 - Fighting the "Bounce Back" Culture & Social Media's Impact Guest Bio: Kristin Yeung Lasseter, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist in Texas who specializes in Reproductive Psychiatry and Women's Mental Health.

Episode 5: PMS, Hormones & the Emotional Realities of Womanhood In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, hosts Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP‑BC, and Katharine “Katie” Krych, MSN, RN, Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education, PEL‑CSN, open up an honest, unfiltered conversation about one of the most universal yet least openly discussed aspects of women's lives: hormones—from first periods to perimenopause, and every emotional, physical, and psychological shift in between. Together, they explore how hormonal changes shape women's daily experiences, communication, relationships, and mental health across the lifespan. The discussion moves naturally from early puberty and helping young girls understand their bodies, to the complexities of PMS and unpredictable mood shifts, to the emotional impact of fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, and postpartum changes. With vulnerability and humor, they share their personal stories as mothers, clinicians, partners, and women navigating the evolution of their own cycles. Drawing from their backgrounds in psychiatric mental health, nursing, and education, Emily and Katie unpack the emotional realities behind menstruation and reproductive transitions—how cycles sync, how hormones influence sensitivity and emotional regulation, how cultural messaging shapes young girls' understanding of their bodies, and how women often carry the invisible weight of silence when navigating infertility, loss, or perimenopause. They also highlight the layered challenges nurses and caregivers face when balancing their clinical knowledge with their lived emotional experiences. This episode explores the private struggles that often accompany womanhood, including the monthly disappointment of a period when trying to conceive, the loneliness of maintaining secrecy after pregnancy loss, the fear and anxiety during high‑risk pregnancies, and the unexpected emotional reactivity that can surface during perimenopause. The hosts examine how partners cope differently, how miscommunication can deepen isolation, and why many women feel unsupported during some of the most physically and emotionally demanding moments of their lives. Grounded in lived experience, emotional honesty, and clinical insight, this episode reframes hormonal health as far more than a physical process—it is a deeply human journey that deserves openness, compassion, and community. Emily and Katie emphasize the need for generational change, encouraging listeners to speak truthfully about their experiences and to teach their children healthier ways to understand their bodies, emotions, and boundaries. As always, the hosts offer grounding takeaways, including the importance of support networks, the value of speaking openly with trusted others, and the need for emotional follow‑up during fertility challenges and pregnancy loss—areas where the healthcare system often falls short. The episode closes with a calming moment of box breathing to help listeners regulate their nervous systems and reconnect to their bodies with gentleness. Reflective, validating, and deeply real, this episode invites women to honor the full emotional landscape of their hormonal lives—and reminds every listener: you do not have to navigate these experiences in silence. Paperclips & Periods airs on the Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network, a Boston‑based syndicated internet radio station reaching listeners across 135–200+ countries through platforms including iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Stitcher, Spotify, and others.

We sweat in them. We stretch in them. We live in them. But almost no one is asking the most important question: What's actually in the fabric touching your skin? PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are commonly used in activewear for sweat resistance, stain resistance, odor control, and durability. But here's the problem: leggings are worn tight against your skin. Add heat, friction, sweat, and increased blood flow, and absorption risk goes way up. PFAS have been linked to hormonal disruption, thyroid dysfunction, fertility challenges, immune suppression, and increased cancer risk. Yet there is no requirement for most clothing brands to test their finished garments for PFAS, heavy metals, BPA, phthalates, or microplastics. So instead of trusting marketing claims, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reached out to 76 activewear brands with one simple question: Do you test your finished garments for PFAS, and can you provide a third-party Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to prove it? The results were shocking. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down: • Why performance fabrics often rely on chemical finishes • How PFAS exposure increases with tight, sweat-heavy clothing • Why raw fabric certifications don't equal clean finished products • The difference between supplier testing and third-party finished garment testing • Which major brands failed to respond at all• The only brand (out of 76!) that provided full third-party lab testing This isn't about attacking brands. It's about transparency. If you wear leggings, sports bras, or athleisure wear, this is a conversation you need to hear before your next purchase.

Struggling to reclaim your identity and find joy in midlife? You're far from the only one! In this episode, I'm joined by women's health and hormone expert Dr. Sonya Jensen to explore how you can turn your midlife overwhelm into a true awakening. We talk about the reality of this season—juggling kids, careers, aging parents, and big life transitions—while your body undergoes one of its most profound hormonal and emotional shifts. Unresolved trauma can surface out of nowhere during perimenopause and menopause, but we cover why these mental and emotional shifts make sense biologically. Dr. Jensen invites you to reframe midlife as a powerful opportunity to celebrate change rather than resist it, and to reconnect with peace, joy, and self-trust. This conversation is packed with tools to help you refocus your mind and reclaim the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way. Tune in here to redefine who you are in midlife! Dr. Sonya Jensen ND Sonya Jensen is a Naturopathic Physician, international speaker, author, and embodied healer who guides women to reclaim their power through hormonal wisdom, emotional depth, and ancestral healing. She integrates trauma-informed modalities, herbs, nutrition, hormone therapy, longevity medicine, and nervous system support to address the unseen patterns behind hormonal imbalance. Dr. Sonya Jensen is the founder of the HER Method and the HER Community, where she helps women decode the stories their bodies are telling to transform relationships, fertility, perimenopause, and life's transitions. IN THIS EPISODE Shifts that happen physically and mentally in perimenopause How to handle the resurfacing of trauma that comes in midlife Changing the narrative around women's hormonal shifts in all stages of life Showing yourself grace and recognizing that shifts in your mental capacity are normal and okay Making changes to help support your emotions during perimenopause and menopause Best lifestyle tips to regulate your mind and body back to a state of peace Discussing boundaries and discernment in midlife and what that can look like for you How to learn more about healing your hormones with Dr. Sonya Jensen's latest book QUOTES “I wish I had just sat down with other women and just talked about these transitions, and just talked about the challenges I'm feeling. But when you have this pressure on yourself to make it seem like you have it all together so you can hold space for others, it's really challenging to ask for help.” “When we normalize that, then we can normalize perimenopause and the changes that we go through and the suffering that we may go through, but we can have a different relationship to that suffering.” “We're losing those hormones. We're losing that armor. We're losing that protection that those hormones we're giving you. So if we're low in estrogen, most women will feel less motivated, maybe a little bit more depressed, maybe more fearful too because estrogen does help to stabilize that fear center.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my latest book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE https://peri-revolution.com/ Order Dr. Jensen's Book: Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself http://www.healyourhormonesbook.com Dr. Jensen's Website Dr. Jensen on Instagram RELATED EPISODES 722: Why Women Feel Unsafe Right Now: Trauma, Hormones & Protecting the Next Generation with Dr. Aimie Apigian 720: Why No One Talks About Loneliness in Midlife—And Why It's Not Just You 717: “I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 702: How to Heal Trauma and Rebuild Trust Through Connectability with Anna Runkle

Hormones control almost every system in your body. They are like an orchestra playing, so when one instrument is a little off-key, it affects the whole system. If you feel tired, anxious, or are gaining weight, your hormones may be involved. In this episode, leading reproductive expert Dr Helen O'Neill explains how hormone health affects fertility, metabolism, and mental health for both men and women. The core question is simple: if hormones run your body, how much influence do you have over them? Alongside ZOE's head nutritionist, Dr Federica Amati, Helen explores the links between hormones and fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, fertility, and metabolic health. The episode covers thyroid health, chronic pain, sperm health, and why gut hormones play a central role in appetite and weight regulation. We also examine why some female-specific conditions remain misunderstood or undiagnosed, and how better data may help change that. Most importantly, this episode focuses on what you can do to take back control. With emerging science suggesting that diet plays a key role in hormone regulation, you'll hear how fibre, plant diversity, healthy fats, and key micronutrients support gut hormone production and fertility. You'll also learn why changes made over three months may meaningfully influence fertility, and why conception is always a shared responsibility. Help keep your hormones in tune with this guide to the relationship between gut, diet and hormones, produced in partnership with the hormone experts at Hertility.

If you've ever thought, “Why didn't anyone prepare me for this?” — this episode is for you. So many women are doing all the “right” things, yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or just off in ways they can't quite explain. Too often, we're told it's simply part of aging. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Shah, whose work — and new book, Hormone Havoc — is helping change the conversation around women's health. We talk about why women's health has been historically overlooked, how nutrition has been left out of critical medical education, and why so many women feel dismissed when they seek real answers — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Shah explains how hormonal shifts affect the brain, gut, metabolism, mood, and nervous system — and why symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, cravings, and poor sleep are signals, not failures. We explore simple, science-backed ways to support hormones through food, movement, and lifestyle, including walking, strength training, gut health, stress resilience, and why alcohol affects women differently in midlife. We also talk about purpose, community, and connection, and why women are evolutionarily wired to thrive in this next phase of life. If you've been searching for clarity, validation, or a more compassionate roadmap for this chapter, this episode offers exactly that. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:
Hormones influence every system in the body, from mood and metabolism to sleep, fertility, and the transitions of midlife. In this episode, I'm joined by Vaidya Princy Prasad of Kerala Ayurveda Academy to explore hormone regulation through the classical lens of Ayurveda. Rather than viewing hormones in isolation, we discuss how endocrine balance reflects the state of the doshas, agni, the nervous system, and overall resilience, especially in today's high-stress world. Vaidya Princy shares practical wisdom on building awareness of hormonal fluctuations, supporting the body through stress and burnout, and navigating perimenopause with steadiness and nourishment. In This Episode, We Explore: Why hormone regulation is such a timely focus in modern life How chronic stress and burnout disrupt hormonal balance The relationship between hormones and Vata, Pitta, and Kapha How to observe and track your own hormonal patterns Managing the transition of perimenopause through Ayurveda Ayurvedic herbs that support hormonal health This conversation offers a grounded, holistic perspective on restoring balance and working with your body's natural rhythms rather than against them.

What if some of the most trusted ideas about cholesterol, heart disease, grains, fat, and even exercise were never as solid as we were told—and the consequences are now showing up in weaker muscles, damaged guts, and rising chronic disease? Cardiologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. William Davis has spent more than a decade challenging the foundations of modern nutrition—from cholesterol myths to the hidden dangers of modern wheat. In this episode, we uncover what today's wheat does to the body that ancient wheat never did, why even one weekly “cheat meal” can disrupt inflammation and cholesterol for weeks, and what your doctor may not be telling you about statins, muscle loss, and the true drivers of heart disease.

Hormone replacement therapy might be one of the most misunderstood treatments in women's health. Some women are still genuinely afraid of it. Others swear they wouldn't survive without it. But what is hormone replacement therapy, really? Who's a good candidate? Should anyone avoid it? And what types of hormone replacement is out there–patches, pills, creams, pellets—and what's actually working in real-life practice? In today's episode, we're asking Dr. Caroline Day—menopause and hormone therapy expert—all of it. And yes, we finally tackle one of the most common listener questions we get: why are hormone pellets so expensive and why aren't they covered by insurance?

Her Practice Website and Full Bio: Tuscaloosa Integrative Family Medicine Facebook: https://facebook.com/tuscaloosaifm Here's What We Cover with Dr. Day in Part 1: What is hormone replacement therapy?

What are the different types and forms of HRT you recommend and find work best for women? Why are pellets not covered by insurance? Why are they so expensive? Here's What We Cover with Dr. Day in Part 2 (Live 3/10/2026): How do you know when it's appropriate to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? Is 65 too late? Can you start early before you have significant symptoms to proactively manage perimenopausal symptoms? What are the top benefits of HRT that you hear from patients—that aren't necessarily in research? What should women look for in a practitioner if they want to consider their HRT options?

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, Debbie is joined by Shivani Gupta—Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code. We explore how Ayurveda can be used as a preventive, modern lifestyle tool to calm chronic inflammation, balance hormones, and restore energy—without restrictive dieting. Dr. Shivani shares what led her to Ayurveda, why turmeric became central to her work, and the key pillars from her new book, including Mental Inflammation™, gut and estrobolome support, and simple daily rituals that actually stick. This conversation is especially powerful for midlife, high-performing women dealing with brain fog, bloat, fatigue, poor sleep, and hormone chaos—who want root-cause solutions that work in real life.
In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I'm joined by Paige Lindgren for a powerful conversation about hormonal health, wellness, and learning how to actually listen to your body.Paige shares her journey of being diagnosed with Hashimoto's as a child, struggling for years with dismissed symptoms, and eventually finding answers that changed everything. We talk about how mold exposure, hormone imbalances, and lifestyle stressors affected both of our health, and what finally helped us feel better. Paige breaks down cycle syncing in a way that actually feels doable, including how to eat, move, and support your body through each phase of your cycle, plus the small nervous system shifts that made the biggest difference in her energy and hormones.We also talk about the inspiration behind her upcoming cookbook, how she made wellness feel intuitive instead of overwhelming, and why balancing blood sugar, cortisol, and stress can change more than you think. If you've ever felt like your body is trying to tell you something or you want a more grounded, sustainable approach to wellness, this episode is full of insights you can actually apply.xo, Tay⸻Follow Paige!
For decades, midlife has been framed as a time of decline for women — medically, culturally, and personally. Halle Berry is on a mission to change that. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares how her own menopause journey exposed how little real support exists for the 60 million women navigating this transition. That experience ultimately led her to create ReSpin, the community she couldn't find when she needed it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • Why menopause is often missed — and how to take back control of your energy, mood, and metabolism • What changes in your brain, bones, and muscle and how to protect them in midlife • How comprehensive testing gives you a personalized roadmap for this phase of life • Why fatigue, low libido, and brain fog aren't “just aging” — and what improves when you address the root cause Your second act can be your strongest. It's a chance to reclaim your strength, your energy, and your future on your own terms. This conversation was recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit.

This week I'm sitting down with my longtime manager and close friend, Chelsea Becker--the type A to my type B--for an honest conversation about beauty, hormones, motherhood, ambition and what “having it all” actually looks like in this phase of life. We talk about navigating life with and without kids, the selflessness motherhood brings, and what we'd struggle with most if we switched roles. We get into the scrutiny women face in the public eye, the hypocrisy around criticizing women for being transparent, and why I regret talking so openly about certain procedures. We discuss whether confident, secure women can still want to change their appearance and why that conversation feels so charged. On the beauty side, we break down the advice we got in our 20s that turned out to be a lie, the things we did as teens that now make us cringe, honest thoughts on peptides, basic laser protocols, the treatments I like for fine lines and pigmentation and how to find a provider you actually trust. We also talk about periods getting worse with age, perimenopause symptoms no one prepares you for and how hormones shift everything from your skin to your workouts. On the fitness side, we get real about maintaining consistency with two young kids and a business, at-home workout recommendations, why we're not chasing a certain physique at 40 (except maybe the Kardashian arm!) and focusing on strength and longevity instead. We also share a writing exercise to optimize your life, how recovery principles shape the way we approach beauty and ambition, and what being of service actually means in this season. It's layered, funny, self-aware and very much a conversation between two women figuring it out in real time.Get 30 days free & $30 off of Waking Up at https://wakingup.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=3&aff_id=89This episode is brought to you by:Go to CLEARSTEM.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout to get 15% off your first order.Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to TheRealReal.com/well.Head to armra.com/WELL or enter WELL to get 30% off your first subscription order.Visit Ritual.com/BLONDE for 25% off your first month.Go to fatty15.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout for an additional 15% off their Starter Kit.Visit livemomentous.com and use promo code well for up to 35% off your first order.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

This week I'm joined by nutritionist and metabolic expert Lauren Papanos to talk about hormones, metabolism, and why so many women feel like they're doing everything right but nothing is working. We get into the real drivers behind weight plateaus, inflammation, and hormone imbalance- and why fasting, overtraining, and under-eating can backfire during our reproductive years.Lauren breaks down the hormones most doctors aren't testing for, how minerals impact thyroid function, and what actually supports metabolism, fertility, and long-term hormone health. We also talk about strength training, carbs, and the lifestyle shifts that can make the biggest difference.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, Mike provides valuable insight into why rest and recovery is just as important as your training routine. We don't build muscle or lose fat in the gym... we improve by recovering adequately from the work we do in the gym (and the kitchen). There are usually plenty of symptoms that you need more recovery... find out what they are in this episode.------------------------------------------------Click here to apply for coaching!For some amazing resources and to be a part of a badass community, join our FB group HEREThe personality assessment is now available online!

What if aging isn't an inevitability but a system you can learn to influence? We sit down with Jay Campbell, author, founder of Bio Longevity Labs, and longtime voice in hormone optimization, to pull back the curtain on peptides, GLP-1s, TRT, and the habits that actually move the needle on biological age. No fluff, no hype cycles, just a direct path through the noise so you can stop guessing and start compounding wins.Jay explains why only a sliver of people truly understand peptides, how GLP-1s can slash obesity risk when used with intention, and why most failures come from bad sourcing and worse guidance. We cover the core stack of real-world results: protein-forward nutrition, intelligent strength training, daily movement, high-quality sleep, and targeted therapeutics. If you've felt stuck between social media extremes, miracle claims on one side, fatalistic “it is what it is” on the other, this conversation gives you the signal you've been missing.We also tackle the stigma around testosterone replacement therapy and the sports-era myths that still scare people away from safe, supervised care. Jay breaks down how to vet vendors, avoid counterfeit peptides, and recognize when AI-fed summaries are confidently wrong. Along the way, we talk recovery gains after 40, the danger of chasing the cheapest vial, and why mindset is the master lever: your thoughts shape your routines, and your routines sculpt your biomarkers.If you're ready to trade shortcuts for strategy and turn back metabolic drift with data and discipline, this is your playbook.

It can take about 4 to 6 doctor's visits for women's symptoms to finally be connected to perimenopause and menopause. So how do you know you're entering this massive transition? In today's episode, I'm joined by women's health and nutrition expert Dr. Amy Shah for a deep dive into midlife transitions and why our healthcare system still struggles to make these critical links. Dr. Shah shares her own beautiful ascension, revealing how a season of life that can feel destabilizing is also deeply transformative. Through tips from her own experience combined with her well-rounded medical expertise, you'll walk away with clarity and confidence. We also talk about intentionality in midlife—how to navigate new opportunities, say yes to growth, and still carve out space for yourself.

That cortisol strategy, the cortisol reset, that is what changed everything.” “What's taking me into the next phase of my life is that we don't have a lot of time. We are allowed to fail. We are all imperfect, flawed people. And if you just give yourself permission to do things that you really want to do in this life, this is the time.” “Go in with confidence, open eyes, and start doing things proactively because, like I said, your gut and your hormones are so connected that if you start improving your gut health, all of a sudden your brain health improves. Your hormone health is going to improve, and this rocky roller coaster of a transition will be so much smoother.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my latest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Dr. Amy's Website Sign up for Dr. Amy's Free Newsletter HERE Dr. Amy's Podcast: Save Yourself Dr. Amy on Instagram Dr. Amy's YouTube Channel RELATED EPISODES 721: No, It's Not All in Your Head: The Medical Truth About Perimenopause with Dr. Jila Senemar 704: Hormone Intelligence for Women in Midlife: How to Thrive Through Perimenopause with Dr. Aviva Romm 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 490: Why We Crave The Foods We Crave and What We Can Finally Do About It with Dr. Amy Shah
