Today's episode is a powerful, honest conversation with three incredible women who are taking their health into their own hands. Joined again by the brilliant Kimberly Cunningham, NP, we're talking about what it really looks like to reclaim your body, your confidence, and your joy after 40.Elizabeth, Andrea, and Orion share their deeply personal journeys with hormone replacement therapy and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss medications, what led them to seek help, what changed, what surprised them, and how their lives have transformed physically, mentally, and emotionally.This roundtable is honest, tender, eye-opening, and full of information that women are rarely given. If you've ever struggled with weight, mood swings, fatigue, food noise, or that feeling of “I don't recognize myself anymore,” this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.Kimberly also breaks down the science behind GLP-1/GIP medications, HRT, PCOS, perimenopause, metabolic health, insurance barriers, and the stigma so many women carry, when the truth is, this is biology, not moral failure.This is the conversation I wish I had decades ago. And I hope it helps you feel seen, validated, and supported on your own path.Go to michellefox.com/podcast for full show notes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Activated charcoal is one of the most misunderstood supplements in the fat loss and hormone health world. In this episode, I break down exactly what activated charcoal actually does, whether coconut charcoal is better than bamboo, the correct dosing, the best time to take it, and the biggest mistakes that can wreck your meds and supplements if you use it wrong.   Spoiler: Activated charcoal is NOT a daily supplement. When taken too often, it can strip essential minerals and interfere with critical medications like thyroid meds, HRT, birth control, and fat loss supplements like berberine.   You'll learn: • Whether coconut charcoal is actually superior • The ideal dose (500–1,000 mg) • When to use activated charcoal (hangovers, food poisoning, mold exposure, bloating, travel) • When NOT to use it • Why you must leave a 3–4 hour buffer from meds & supplements • The best time of day to take it • Capsules vs powders • How to avoid canceling out your entire supplement stack   If you're on a fat loss journey, hormone health protocol, or taking thyroid meds or HRT, this is critical information you NEED to know before using activated charcoal.

Supplement audit and tracking apps like Subtract AI, Sepco, and other supplement ranking tools are everywhere right now — but are they actually helping your health… or giving you false confidence?   In this episode, I break down the 3 major flaws with supplement auditing apps that most people (and even doctors) overlook — especially if you're dealing with fat loss resistance, hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, HRT, or birth control.   You'll learn: • Why these apps often miss dangerous drug–supplement interactions • How they ignore your diet, nutrient intake, and deficiencies • Why they don't account for dosing, form, or timing (which completely changes how supplements work) • How they oversimplify complex hormonal health • Why your "high score" may mean absolutely nothing • When supplement apps CAN be useful vs when they become harmful • Why supplements must be personalized to your labs, diet, stress, and hormones   If you're taking a large supplement stack, using HRT or thyroid meds, or trying to lose stubborn fat — this is a MUST-listen before trusting any supplement-tracking app.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Carole Hooven is a human evolutionary biologist whose research centers on testosterone, sex differences, and behavior. In this episode, she explores how prenatal testosterone orchestrates male development in the body and brain, how early hormonal surges shape lifelong behavioral tendencies, and what rare natural experiments—such as 5-alpha-reductase deficiency—reveal about the biology of sex differentiation. She discusses distinct male and female aggression styles through an evolutionary lens, how modern environments interact with ancient competitive drives, and the implications of attempting to suppress them. The conversation also covers testosterone across the lifespan, the role of hormone therapy in both men and women, and Carole's own experience after surgical menopause, culminating in a broader discussion of masculinity, cultural narratives, and the consequences of denying biological sex differences. We discuss: How Carole became interested in exploring the biological and evolutionary roots of sex differences and the role of testosterone [2:30]; How testosterone and other hormones influence sex differences in aggression and behavior across species [9:45]; How chromosomes, the SRY gene, and early hormones direct embryonic sexual differentiation [12:15]; A stark contrast of male social bonding compared to females, and evolutionary parallels in chimpanzees [19:30]; How hormones like DHT shape sexual differentiation, and how 5⍺-reductase deficiency reveals the distinct roles of these hormones [22:45]; How sex chromosomes and prenatal testosterone shape early brain development and explain sex differences in childhood behavior [31:30]; How gamete differences shape reproductive strategies, energetic costs, and sex-specific behavior [42:30]; How evolutionary biology shapes sex differences in play, aggression, and conflict resolution (and how modern environments and cultural messaging can disrupt those patterns) [49:00]; Why males commit disproportionately more violent crime, and how cultural and environmental forces shape aggression [1:01:00]; Why females evolved different behavioral strategies: nurturing, risk aversion, and the cultural norms that override biology [1:04:00]; Whether male aggression is still necessary in modern society, why the underlying biological drives persist, and how modern society redirects these drives [1:06:30]; How testosterone levels naturally shift to support fatherhood and caregiving [1:13:30]; How testosterone shapes male mating strategies, and why long-term pair-bonding persists even when reproduction is no longer at stake [1:18:30]; The distinct roles of estrogen in male development, mood, libido, and muscle [1:25:00]; How evolution, health, lifestyle, and androgen receptor biology shape modern testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) [1:34:15]; Carole's experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the risks associated with TRT in younger men [1:45:15]; How Carole rebuilt after controversy: leaving academia and recommitting to scientific honesty [1:51:30,]; Carole's next book: examining masculinity, cultural narratives, and the cost of denying biological sex differences [1:57:30]; and More.

Ready to go beyond standard cholesterol panels and track what actually matters? Get your comprehensive performance bloodwork analysis at  witsandweights.com/bloodwork (code VITALITY20 for 20% off)—What if your blood work is missing the markers that truly predict long-term cardiovascular health? Can you build muscle, lose fat, and stay strong after 40 without risking your heart? And which biomarkers, hormones, and peptides actually move the needle for longevity and performance?I bring on Integrative Medicine & Cardiology Physician Dr. Abid Husain into the conversation, and we get into the evidence behind cardiovascular health for lifters, especially if you're focused on body recomp, strength training, weight loss, nutrition, and fitness. We cover the labs most people never get, how inflammation and metabolism shape heart health, and why tracking APOB, CRP, and oxidized LDL matters far more than total cholesterol. We also break down hormone health, HRT safety, muscle building over 40, and the peptides that actually support recovery and longevity.If you care about lifting weights, performance, and living longer with evidence-based fitness, this one gives you a clear roadmap.

Send us a textWhat if your body isn't underperforming… it's protecting you? We sit down with Renee McGregor, renowned sports and clinical dietitian, to unpack Relative Energy Deficiency in sport and why so many runners and active people feel flat, injured, or anxious despite training harder than ever. Renee explains how the body prioritizes movement when fuel is low and quietly turns down hormones, bone health, digestion, and immunity to keep you going—until it can't. We walk through real-world signs to watch for, why weight often doesn't change, and how stress from life and training compounds when recovery and nutrition timing fall short.Together we trace the messy intersection of REDs, overtraining, and personality traits like perfectionism and control. Renee shares how assessment actually works—history, labs, behaviors—and why recovery takes time: often 18 months for the body and longer for the brain to fully recalibrate. We also address a frequent blind spot for women in their 40s and beyond: perimenopause symptoms can mimic REDs. When to consider HRT, when fueling and rest are the missing pieces, and how both can coexist. The goal is clarity, not fear, and a practical path back to stable energy, resilient bones, and consistent performance.We challenge popular fasting trends with emerging research linking narrow eating windows to higher cardiovascular risk and explain how chronic cortisol undermines adaptation. You'll leave with simple, athlete-proven strategies: eat before and after hard work, fuel long sessions, protect sleep, and replace rigid control with flexible choices.

The FDA has updated its stance on estrogen therapy, reversing decades of confusion from early WHI interpretations. New research and global data now show estrogen may support long-term health and reduce key chronic risks.This episode explains the FDA's updated guidance, what the WHI got wrong, and what current science reveals about heart health, brain function, diabetes risk, bone density, and breast cancer. We also break down synthetic progestins vs. bioidentical progesterone, why timing matters, and how Europe achieved better outcomes with HRT.Tune in to get clear, evidence-based insights so you can talk confidently with your provider and decide if hormone therapy fits your goals.Timestamps: 00:00 FDA Update 00:27 WHI Misinterpretation 01:05 Synthetic vs Bioidentical 02:14 Why Estrogen Was Blamed 03:12 Black Box Warning 04:48 New Research 06:10 Heart/Brain/Cancer Data 07:45 Europe's Approach 08:30 Progestins vs Progesterone 09:45 What It Means Today 10:45 Why Doctors Stopped HRT 11:30 FDA 2025 Review 12:28 Black Box Removal 13:25 Key Takeaways 14:05 How to Discuss HRTReady to talk through your options?

In midlife, I see TONS of women who are “doing all the right things”—eating clean, exercising harder, even restricting more—yet still are seeing the scale creep up. That's why I've invited Sarah Kennedy on the podcast, who's the founder and CEO of Calocurb– a natural, non-prescription hunger control treatment option.  We're unpacking why hunger can feel louder and more relentless than ever for women in midlife.

So the brain is telling you to go out and look for food, and your body thinks you are going into a famine. So it's upping and upping and upping… this is why 99% of diets fail.” “I've been on it 6-7 years now. I don't take it twice a day, only take it once. But I can honestly say to you, I'm at peace with food… I think many, many people will find that.” “This has been revolutionary in the fact that we now understand what is happening in our body and what is driving this hunger and craving.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Calocurb: USE CODE DRMARIZA for 10% off your purchase! https://www.calocurb.com/drmarizasnyder Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Calcurb on Facebook Calocurb on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  #621: The Truth About Metabolic Health, Hormones and GLP-1s with Tyna Moore #558: The Science Behind Ozempic and Important Facts About GLP-1 Agonists + Hormone Replacement For Women 40+ with Dr. Tyna Moore #613: Effective Tools for Curbing Your Appetite in Midlife and Optimizing Your Blood Sugar with Nagina Sethi Abdullah #601: The Food You Eat Will Impact Your Menopause Journey + Foods to Ease Menopause and Promote Longevity with Dr. Federica Amati 696: Why Diets Stop Working in Midlife—and What Actually Helps Instead with Lara Frendjian

In this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we're exploring the complex and often overlooked intersection of ADHD, hormones, and women's mental health, particularly during pivotal life transitions like perimenopause.I'm joined by Dr. Helen Wall, a GP and registered menopause specialist with the British Menopause Society. Helen is also a resident GP on BBC Breakfast, a columnist for Woman magazine, and public health clinical director in Greater Manchester. She therefore brings both clinical expertise and real-world empathy to bridge the gap between professional healthcare and accessible, compassionate advice to ensure women feel heard, understood, and properly supported.We explore why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed when seeking help for emotional and physical symptoms related to hormone fluctuations, and touch on everything from progesterone sensitivity and HRT, to advocating for yourself at the GP, and the growing need for women's health education that takes neurodiversity seriously.I discuss the crossover of ADHD and hormones in my new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, which is now available. Grab your copy here!Key Takeaways:Why so many women with ADHD report mental health declines during perimenopause, including PMDD, anxiety, and mood disorders.The connection between hormonal sensitivity and neurodivergence, and why it's often overlooked by mainstream medicine.How stereotypes and stigma contribute to late ADHD diagnosis in women, especially in midlife.The shift in how menopause is being discussed and treated post-COVID.The dangers of a "one-size-fits-all" approach to HRT and why personalised prescriptions matter.Why clinicians must join the dots between long-term anxiety and depression and undiagnosed ADHD or hormonal issues.The growing importance of patient-led care and better GP education around menopause and neurodiversity.How to advocate for yourself at the doctor's office when your concerns have been dismissed.Timestamps:01:50 – ADHD & Hormonal Concerns04:00 – Perimenopause & Mental Health06:10 – Misconceptions About ADHD Hormones10:06 – ADHD in Women: The Hidden Struggles16:19 – Personalised HRT & Progesterone Sensitivity25:12 – Women's Health Advocacy in Practice31:21 – Self-Advocacy for Better TreatmentJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, I'm breaking down a topic every woman thinks she's mastered, until she realizes how much it truly affects her mood, metabolism, hormones, and long-term vitality: sleep.I'm sharing simple science, personal insights, and practical tools to help you experience deeper, restorative rest. If you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling energized, this one's for you.Key Highlights:Why so many women struggle with sleep, and how most of us misinterpret it.The mindset shift that instantly changes how you approach your nightly routine.Why your genes don't determine your destiny when it comes to rest and aging.The hidden connection between metabolic health and nighttime wake-ups.The surprising truth about the bed and why what you use it for matters.The simple nighttime “3-2-1 rule” that supports deeper rest.How clutter, temperature, light, and environment silently shape sleep quality.What your chronotype says about your energy and ideal daily rhythm.The role of adenosine, caffeine, and sunlight in your sleep-wake cycle.The personal turning point that made me take sleep seriously, and how it changed my health.Key Takeaways:“If you do not sleep and you're throwing all the HRT at yourself but you're not sleeping well, you can't even use the benefits because your body is not able to balance your hormones.” -Kellie Lupsha“If you improve your sleep hygiene, keeping your bed for sleep and sex, you might just find that it's also gonna improve your sex life and you might have better sleep.”-Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia dive into a deeply personal conversation about aging, menopause, and what it means to be a woman as your body changes.Alyssa opens up about feeling younger than she looks at 48, sparking a discussion about how we perceive ourselves versus how we appear to others. The conversation quickly shifts to menopause and perimenopause — topics that dominate Alyssa's social media feed and conversations with friends her age. While hot flashes get all the attention, the reality includes forgetfulness, mood changes, sexual dysfunction, and vaginal dryness.Alyssa reveals that she missed her first period last month (and no, she's not pregnant). This milestone has her questioning whether to start hormone replacement therapy now or wait for symptoms. The research suggests HRT can protect brain health, bone density, and heart health — but Alyssa isn't someone who takes pills unless absolutely necessary.Nadia draws parallels between menopause symptoms and her own menstrual cycle experiences, noting how women are constantly attributing body changes, mood shifts, and physical symptoms to hormonal fluctuations. She reflects on doing multiple projects on women's health for school, discovering there's shockingly little research and funding in this area.The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Alyssa grapples with what menopause means for her identity as a woman. Society has taught women that femininity means soft hair, a certain figure, attractiveness, and the ability to have babies. With menopause, many of these markers fade — hair thins, bodies change, fertility ends. It's messing with Alyssa's head, even though she knows logically these societal expectations shouldn't define her.Both agree that women face constant internal struggles and external pressures that men simply don't experience in the same way. But they also find empowerment in it — Nadia feels deeply in touch with her body because of her cycle, and Alyssa celebrates women's intuition, sensitivity, and the literal magic of creating human life.The episode wraps with Nadia sharing exciting news: she landed a co-op doing clinical research at Mass General Hospital, focusing on food insecurity, food banks, SNAP benefits, and Medicaid.TakeawaysLooking in the mirror can feel disorienting when you feel younger than you lookHot flashes are just the tip of the menopause iceberg — symptoms include forgetfulness, mood changes, pain with intercourse, and vaginal drynessHormone replacement therapy may protect brain health, bone density, and heart healthThere's a lack of research and funding for women's health issuesMenopause can trigger an identity crisis around femininity and societal expectations of womenWomen constantly attribute physical and emotional changes to hormonal fluctuations throughout their livesThe expectations and daily struggles women face are different from (though not necessarily harder than) what men experienceDespite the challenges, there's something empowering about being deeply in touch with your bodyWomen's intuition and the ability to create life are genuinely magicalChapters0:10–2:08 – Feeling Young But Looking Old 2:09–5:27 – Menopause on Social Media and the Symptoms No One Talks About 5:28–7:24 – Alyssa Misses Her First Period (And the Hormone Replacement Dilemma) 7:25–10:50 – Nadia's Perspective: Blaming Everything on Your Period 10:51–12:41 – What Menopause Means for Identity as a Woman 12:42–14:26 – Daily Internal Struggles: The Expectations Women Face 14:27–16:30 – The Magic of Being a Woman (Despite Everything) 16:31–17:51 – Nadia's Big News: Clinical Research Co-op at Mass General

This episod is brought to you by Cured Nutrition, Caldera Lab and Joi & Blokes. Dr. Jessica Shepherd—OB/GYN, clinical advisor for P-Volv, and author of Generation M—breaks down everything women need to know about perimenopause, menopause, and longevity. She explains why mindset is the foundation of midlife health, how declining estrogen affects every organ system, why only 8% of symptomatic women ever receive a diagnosis, and how common comorbidities rise 45% or more between ages 40–59. Dr. Shepherd shares science-backed strategies for navigating symptoms, improving metabolic and mitochondrial health, understanding the truth about hormone therapy after the flawed WHI study (which led to an 82% decline in prescriptions), and using exercise, protein, and muscle-building to protect cognition, heart health, and overall vitality. Whether you're a woman entering midlife—or a partner wanting to better support her—this conversation is a masterclass in women's health, empowerment, and aging well.

This is a validating, myth-busting, empowering conversation that helps women understand their bodies and advocate for the care they deserve.Is hormone therapy necessary for every woman to feel her best?

In this episode of Far From Perfect, I sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Lainey Gray to talk about something so many women feel but can't quite name: midlife isn't the problem—the lack of information is.Lainey shares her journey from personal trainer to functional nutrition expert and breaks down why understanding your hormones, stress load, and nutritional needs is the key to finally feeling like yourself again. We dive into the power of comprehensive testing, simple lifestyle shifts that actually matter, the role HRT can play, and why advocating for your own health is non-negotiable in perimenopause and menopause.If you've ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling dismissed…If you've ever been told “that's just aging”…If you've ever thought, “something feels off, but I can't get answers”…This conversation will feel like a giant exhale.Midlife doesn't have to feel confusing, chaotic, or out of control. Once you have the right information, you can rebuild your energy, your joy, and your confidence—one empowered decision at a time.

Are you still confused (or totally terrified) about hormone therapy because of what you heard that it causes cancer? Do you have breast cancer and have been told you cannot take hormone therapy, but still question if this is true? Then this episode is for you. Today I sit down with cancer survivor Dr. Lindsey Berkson, one of the most outspoken, evidence-driven voices in hormone science. She has been on the front lines for more than 40 years, challenging misinformation, teaching clinicians, and calling out the myths that have held women back from lifesaving care. We cover: What really happened in the 2002 WHI study and why the press release created global panic Why estrogen may be breast-protective…even for breast cancer patients What the 2024 NIH study of 10 million women revealed about HRT Why not ALL estrogen is proliferative The discovery of ER-beta and how it reframed estrogen's role in cancer biology What 25 human trials show about HRT use in ER+ breast cancer survivors What is oxytocin and how does this hormone help women in menopause   Dr. Lindsey Berkson is a pioneer in hormone and nutritional health with over four decades of clinical and research experience. She's triple board-certified in nutrition, a hormone scholar at Tulane University's estrogen think tank, and one of the first practitioners to bridge endocrinology, nutrition, and gut health into an integrated approach to healing. She's also the author of more than 20 books, including Hormone Deception and Healthy Digestion the Natural Way, and has developed physician-formulated nutraceutical lines and patented bioidentical hormone applications.   New book: Oxytocin Medicine https://amzn.to/3JWdDAm Recommended Reading: Hormones 101 by Dr. Jeffrey Dash Courses: https://drlindseyberkson.com/courses/ Contact Dr. Lindsey Berkson Website: https://drlindseyberkson.com/ Instagram: @dlberkson https://www.instagram.com/dlberkson/ Facebook: @Dr.LindseyBerkson https://www.facebook.com/Dr.LindseyBerkson/ Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here - https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - http://oxfordhealthspan.com/discount/ZORA Get Mitopure Urolithin A by Timeline. 20% discount with code ZORA at https://timeline.com/zora Try Suji to improve muscle 10% off with code ZORA at TrySuji.com - https://trysuji.com Try OneSkin skincare with code ZORA for 15% off https://oneskin.pxf.io/c/3974954/2885171/31050   Join the Hack My Age community on: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hackmyage Facebook Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠Hack My Age⁠     Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠Biohacking Menopause⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠   Biohacking Menopause Private Women's Only Support Group: https://hackmyage.com/biohacking-menopause-membership/ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠HackMyAge⁠    Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HackMyAge.com⁠    For partnership inquiries: https://www.category3.ca/  For transparency: Some episodes of Hack My Age are supported by partners whose products or services may be discussed during the show.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast, Colette is joined by her sister, Niamh, an Occupational Therapist who specializes in mental health for children and young adults. Together, they explore Niamh's honest and vulnerable journey through perimenopause, a time that tested even her professional understanding of the mind and her long-time relationship with Ayurvedic living. Despite her professional knowledge of mental health and years of practicing Ayurvedic principles, Niamh found herself facing out-of-character symptoms and a sense of losing control, especially during intense hot flushes and cognitive difficulties. This conversation offers a compassionate look at what it means to navigate hormonal shifts when even your best tools seem to fall short.

Midlife just got a whole lot brighter. In this game-changing episode, Dr. Sonia breaks down the incredibly good news that the long-standing health advisory label on estrogen (HRT) has finally been removed. For decades, this warning scared women away from safe, effective hormone therapy — and kept millions struggling with symptoms they didn't have to suffer through. ✨ Today we talk about what the label really meant ✨ Why it has now been removed ✨ What the updated science actually shows ✨ And how this shift can change your intimacy, health, and pleasure in midlife If you've ever been told to "tough it out" through menopause… If you've been afraid hormones might be dangerous… If you've been struggling with dryness, pain during intimacy, low libido, brain fog, sleep issues, or mood shifts… This episode is your permission slip to feel good again. Estrogen isn't the enemy — misinformation is. And now that the advisory label is gone, women have access to informed choices, real relief, and the chance to reclaim their energy, vitality, and sexuality. Because you deserve more than crumbs. You deserve the comfort. The connection. The pleasure. And you deserve a midlife that feels good. Listen now — your body (and your libido) will thank you.

Dr. Crawford outlines her proven six-month protocol, designed to repair hormone production at the root.

In this week's episode of The Menopause and Cancer Podcast, Dani speaks with two of the authors behind the new paper, Menopausal hormone therapy for breast cancer patients: what is the current evidence? Professor Jayant Vaidya, Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, and Dr Sarah Glynne, GP and menopause specialist.This is the first of a two-part special exploring what this new paper and upcoming MENO-ABC clinical trial could mean for breast cancer survivors curious about HRT or already on HRT.Up until recently, most experts thought a study like this would never happen — but it's happening.Together, they unpack:What's new about this paper — and why it matters.The scientific and ethical concept of equipoise (yes, Dani learned a new word!).How the new MENO-ABC trial could change what we know about HRT use after breast cancer.What this research might mean for patients, clinicians, and the future of survivorship care.Next week: Don't miss part two, where Dani and Dr Sarah Glynne take a deep dive into testosterone use after breast cancer — what we know, what we don't, and where the conversation is heading.Links & Resources:The paper: https://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/fulltext/9900/menopausal_hormone_therapy_for_breast_cancer.532.aspxThe trial: https://www.londonbreastcancer.com/meno-abc-trialFind Dr Glynne here https://www.clairemellon.co.uk/dr-sarah-glynneFind Professor Vaidya here https://professorvaidya.co.uk/Watch Dani's 5-part Youtube series on HRT after breast cancer, start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heTF5ufX59Y&list=PLsUEBZ4ZwowpAQ1ueFUHlzDvzAtD_hyQr&index=6 Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro08:01 "HRT Debate and Its Impact"09:48 Evidence-Based Breast Cancer Trial13:46 Advances in Breast Cancer Treatment16:43 HRT Risks Post-Breast Cancer20:52 Oestrogen Risks in Cancer Relapse23:17 "Clinical Trial Equipoise Explained"29:00 "Expert Consensus and Criticism"29:47 Collaborative Review Strengthened Research32:52 Breaking Shame Through Conversations36:04 Weighing Risks for Quality Life41:57 "Prioritising Quality Over Longevity"43:08 HRT and Breast Cancer Relapse RiskRead all about HRT after breast cancer in Dani's book “Navigating Menopause After Cancer' in chapter 6: Buy it here: https://amzn.eu/d/0uLveeE

In today's episode - the finale of Season 5 - I am in conversation with luminary and renowned New York based gynecologist , Dr. Molly McBride.She shares how amazing it is to pivot later in life, how she enjoys being 60, and we talk about menopause - how it was for herself (tough) and how she helps women to manage this often complex time in life (peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopause).Dr. McBride is a passionate advocate for women's health and openly says, that she is disappointed in many of her colleagues, who simply still avoid to gain deeper knowledge about menopause and it's possible health consequences for women - from brain fog to osteoporosis, from "not feeling myself" to cardio-vascular diseases.Dr. McBride offers cutting edge services - and stresses the importance of listening to her patients, and validating their often still dismissed symptoms. She is a strong proponent of HRT - where applicable.She just relocated her practice to the Flat Iron district in Manhattan. And - being usually a step ahead, now also offers individual health plans for men.Enjoy this lively and informative episode.

Hormone replacement therapy education is all the talk these days. But how do you cut through all the noise and get the right care for you?  Expert in the field, Dr. Sarah Daccarett joins the podcast to get straight to the point about how the CORRECT hormone replacement methods can do more than just symptom management. We want you to feel GOOD in midlife, not just symptom-free. A lot of providers aren't knowledgeable or confident enough in HRT options, leaving you with a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. And sadly, this causes thousands of women to be totally underdosed.  But Dr. Sarah offers something different that can potentially give some standardization for you. You can get predictable products and services at her company, Inner Balance. With a clinical team to check in with, and less HRT side effects than other formulations, Inner Balance is a safe and massively effective option for managing your midlife hormone symptoms.  Tune in here and learn how to get maximum benefit from hormone replacement therapy to live your brightest life! Dr. Sarah Daccarett, MD  After treating thousands of women who felt ignored with their symptoms or who were totally misdiagnosed, Dr. Sarah realized the healthcare system wasn't built for women, so she built something new. She's the CEO and founder of Inner Balance- a medical approach to female biology that works with women's bodies. It's your science-backed and compassionate solution to hormonal health, with the mission to close the gender gap in healthcare for good.  IN THIS EPISODE Why midlife women don't get the hormone help they deserve The massive gap in knowledge around hormone replacement  The difference between hormone treatment for men and women  The importance of paying attention to your hormone dosing Understanding lab markers for hormone levels  The neuroprotective benefits of hormone replacement  Why so many women are underdosed with hormones  About Dr. Sarah Daccarett's company, Inner Balance  QUOTES “It's because women need to understand that this convoluted messaging they're getting is suppressing them. It's keeping them misinformed and it's keeping them from living probably their fullest potential.” “A take home message for anybody listening is that it's not just the hormones that matter. It's the way you're trying to get them into the body. Unfortunately, we're all having to turn into hormone experts because doctors are not figuring it out for us, so we're doing it ourselves.” “Women, if you want to treat estrogen dominance, you should make sure that your estrogen is actually [high] enough that all these chemicals can't bind. Then you have enough progesterone to counterbalance it. So the treatment is not to lower estrogen, but to actually take it and then you'll feel better.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution  https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 20% off on your Timeline order http://timeline.com/ENERGIZED Inner Balance Website: InnerBalance.com Inner Balance on Instagram Dr. Sarah on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel 579: Hormone Replacement Options and Hormone Testing for Women in Midlife + Self Advocacy for Optimal Health with Esther Blum #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen 680: You Are Not Broken: Why Women Need Testosterone to Feel Strong, Sexy & Energized with Dr. Kelly Casperson 

What if everything you've been told about menopause is wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver — board-certified OB/GYN and leading menopause expert — to unpack the science reshaping women's health. We break down the FDA's recent removal of the 22-year black box warning on hormone therapy, why only 4% of women use HRT today, and how fear and misinformation have shaped decades of care. Dr. Haver also dives into the rise of menopause “biohacks,” from NAD and PRP to the fundamentals that truly move the needle: sleep, strength training, and metabolic health. Her message is simple: Menopause isn't a disease — it's a transition, and you deserve informed, evidence-based support. If you've ever felt dismissed or confused during midlife changes, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and the science to advocate for yourself.

AI isn't just writing your emails anymore—it's reading your hormones and mapping your risk. In this episode, endocrinologist and longevity doctor Dr. Fady Hannah-Shmouni talks about full-body MRIs, cancer blood tests, muscle-driven longevity, HRT, and an at-home cortisol test called ELI. We explore where AI, wearables, and testing truly help women, and where they fuel anxiety, waste money, and dull intuition.

(3:00) A recent photo of Serena Vinnie posted on Instagram created quite a stir. (8:30) There was a lot of pushback in the comments, but Serena clarified. She has been able to manage various symptoms of menopause by following NSNG. Vinnie shares Serena's response. (17:00) Each woman's experience will be different based on their medical history. (20:00) Anna always gets compliments on her skin, but she credits not eating sugar or processed foods, which are non-negotiable for her lifestyle and health. (21:00) Thanksgiving plans are upon us. (28:00) They share advice on navigating Thanksgiving, especially when it comes to foods that may trigger you. Anna has updated her Thanksgiving PDF and added some recipes so you can make a fantastic NSNG-friendly holiday meal.

The FDA belatedly liberates women's hormone replacement; Beta-blockers now deemed passé for routine heart attack aftercare; After most breast cancer surgery, adjuvant radiation brings no survival benefits; Can you drink caffeinated coffee if you have atrial fibrillation? Ignore frequent falls without attention to balance and stability training at your peril; Is it reasonable to contemplate a knee replacement surgery at 88? 

In this episode of The Health Revival Show, I dive into three critical topics affecting your health. First, we discuss the recent FDA decision to remove the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), shedding light on the implications for women's health. Next, I tackle the controversial subject of flu shots, exploring their effectiveness and the factors influencing your decision to get vaccinated. Lastly, I provide actionable insights on how to recover after experiencing a stomach bug, focusing on nutrition and hydration strategies that can help restore your gut health. Join me for an informative and engaging conversation that empowers you to make informed health choices.

Facelift prep, hormone therapy choices, and the real side effects no one wants to say out loud. Chalene takes you behind the scenes on stopping estrogen before surgery, switching from injections to testosterone cream, and testing an estrogen patch, plus how progesterone keeps her sleep on track. She also flags a Neutrogena makeup wipe recall and why telehealth shortcuts around GLP-1s can backfire. Consider this a candid pre-op diary with zero politics and full transparency, plus details on the documentary she is filming of the entire recovery. If you are curious about perimenopause symptoms, HRT delivery methods, and GLP-1 risk conversations, this one will save you time and stress.
