Send us a textPerimenopause affects every woman at some point in life but often doesn't get the attention it deserves, with symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep issues starting as early as our late 30s. As women, we need to advocate for ourselves during this transition and find providers who listen to our concerns rather than dismissing them as normal aging.• Perimenopause usually begins in early to mid-40s, though some women notice changes in their late 30s• Hispanic women reach menopause around age 49 on average, slightly earlier than the general US population at 51• High sugar and refined carbs can worsen insulin resistance and hot flashes• Alcohol and caffeine often trigger hot flashes and disrupt sleep• Protein and fiber become especially important during this transition to maintain muscle mass and metabolism• Phytoestrogens in foods like flaxseed, soy, and legumes may help reduce hot flashes• Track your symptoms to identify patterns and bring these notes to doctor appointments• Don't hesitate to get a second opinion if your provider doesn't take your concerns seriously• Balance your plate with protein, colorful vegetables, and whole grains at each meal• Strength training at least three times weekly helps protect bone density and muscle massIf today's episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend, subscribe to the podcast, and connect with me for more resources.Listen to Dr. Makhija's podcast on Peri and menopause here Thank you for listening.

Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives
In this episode, I break down the unique nutritional challenges we face as women in midlife and how to navigate them without losing your mind (or appetite). Let's face it – the eating strategies that worked in your 30s might be falling flat now as your hormones and metabolism shift. I'll walk you through the four most common nutrition traps that catch us in midlife and share practical, doable alternatives that actually work with your changing body instead of against it. In this episode, you'll discover: Why “everything in moderation” might be terrible advice for your midlife body and how to figure out which foods actually deserve some boundaries How to break free from the endless cycle of diet dogma and create an approach that works for YOUR unique body The huge difference between smart calorie management and the soul-crushing practice of chronic dieting Whether you're dealing with stubborn weight gain, energy crashes, or just feeling completely confused by all the conflicting nutrition advice out there, this episode offers a fresh take on reclaiming your plate with confidence during this wild ride we call midlife.

Menopause isn't the end of your vibrant life—it's the beginning of a new chapter. In this inspiring episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I'm sharing my personal journey through early menopause, the challenges I faced, and the discoveries that helped me reclaim my health, vitality, and joy. Too often, women are told to simply “endure” menopause, but I believe suffering is optional. With the right questions, symptom tracking, and intentional lifestyle changes, this transition can become a time of renewal. That's why I created my Magic Menopause program—to help women everywhere step into this phase with confidence, clarity, and even excitement. If you've ever asked yourself, Why am I so tired? Why am I gaining weight? How do I stop the night sweats?—this conversation is for you. I'll walk you through practical ways to restore balance, how to tell whether it's menopause or stress that's dragging you down, and why community and education are essential for navigating this season of life. Menopause doesn't have to feel like a decline—it can be your rebirth. Tune in to discover how to reclaim your energy, your joy, and your health. And if you want to learn the exact steps to reclaim your energy, vitality, and joy, check out my Master Your Hormones Masterclass at dranna.com/hormones. Your best self is waiting.

Download the Ultimate Affordable Skincare Guide Download my Free Guide 'In My Perimenopause Era' Menopause may be natural, but that doesn't mean you have to just “deal with it.” For too long, women have been told to accept dryness, thinning hair, and skin that feels unrecognizable. I don't buy that — and neither should you! In this episode, I share why I believe in the “menopause makeover.” It's not a fad or a vanity project. It's a way to give your body the care it needs during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. I also open up about my own midlife experience, including the changes I've noticed in my skin and the lifestyle shifts I've made to feel more like myself again. You'll learn what's actually happening with estrogen during this time, why your skin might suddenly be more sensitive, and the simple but powerful skincare staples that really work. I'll also share how I think about in-office treatments, not as a quick fix but as part of a bigger plan. Most importantly, you'll walk away with the reminder that it's never too late to invest in your skin and feel confident in your midlife body. The Skin Real app is officially LIVE! Download it now.

Buckle up for a trip (pun intended) into the midlife brain. This week we sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Grace Blest-Hopley to connect the dots between cannabinoids, psychedelics, trauma, and the menopause transition. We cover CBD/THC for sleep, anxiety, pain, and inflammation; how the endocannabinoid system works, and how psychedelics like psilocybin act on serotonin pathways, reduce neuroinflammation, and promote neuroplasticity—potentially countering some brain changes seen with estrogen loss. We also dig into trauma (including why PTSD risk and expression differ by sex), the importance of set, setting, and skilled facilitation, who should not use psychedelics, the legal/clinical landscape, and much more. Curious about midlife brain health and whether these therapies are worth exploring? This one's for you.Dr. Grace Blest-Hopley is a neuroscientist with 12 years experience researching cannabis, cannabinoids, and psychedelics. Grace completed her PhD in Neuroscience at King's College London and currently serves as the Chief Scientific Officer at NWPharma Tech. She is the Research Director at Heroic Hearts Project, a charity that supports combat veterans with mental health challenges resulting from trauma and is also the founder of Hystelica, a community focused on understanding women's biology for safe and effective psychedelic use. In addition to her research and professional roles, she has served as an officer in the British Army Reserve. Dr. Blest-Hopley advocates for the therapeutic potential of these substances and strives to advance the field of psychedelic research.

Thriving through Menopause with Fitness, Fat Loss and a Focused Mind
“Can someone just tell me what to eat?” If that's you, this episode is your simple, done-for-you day of Trim Healthy Mama meals—built for the midlife metabolism. I'm Coach Kris, menopause fitness specialist and host of The Menopause Makeover Podcast. Today we cut the noise and get practical: a straightforward meal planning rhythm that helps women in perimenopause and menopause lose weight with consistency—without complicated recipes or all-day prep. You'll learn how to anchor every plate with 25–30g protein, pair it with fiber and smart fuels (E and S), and space meals 3.5–4 hours to calm blood sugar and cravings. We'll map out energizing E breakfasts (think kefir smoothies, oats with a side of lean protein, sweet potato + chicken sausage), satisfying S options (eggs + egg whites, veggie scrambles, smoothie “soothies”), easy lunch frameworks (hormone-supporting salads, simple sandwiches with added protein), and no-fuss snacks that actually keep you full. Dinner? Think bowls or “protein + two veg” you can repeat all week with my “2-2 method”: bulk cook 2 proteins, 2 veggies, and prep 2 E carb bases for automatic meal planning. Inside: Why simplicity beats variety for fat loss after 40 (hello, consistency) The protein + fiber formula that stabilizes hormones in menopause How to use E vs S meals strategically to support energy, thyroid, and cortisol A rinse-and-repeat menu rhythm that saves your brain and your waistline A faith-forward nudge to nourish (not punish) your body this season If you're a Trim Healthy Mama who's tired of overthinking meal planning—or you're brand-new and just want a plan—press play. Let's make losing weight in menopause simpler, calmer, and sustainable.

This conversation challenges outdated assumptions and exposes the hidden patterns that masquerade as anxiety, depression, and burnout, so you can catch the real root cause before it's too late.What You'll Discover Inside:The Silent Phase That Sets the StageWhy the most critical hormonal changes start years before menopause and go unnoticed by most providers.The Missing Piece in Hormone TestingA key hormone marker that can reveal perimenopausal shifts early but is rarely measured.When Stress Becomes the Master HormoneHow modern life drives the adrenal-hormone feedback loop and what to watch for in burned-out clients.The Blood Sugar–Estrogen LinkWhy metabolic balance is non-negotiable for hormonal balance and how to spot trouble before it spirals.What Most Practitioners Miss About HRT TimingThe real risks of waiting too long and why “not yet” can be just as dangerous as “not at all.”Resources and Links:Download the transcript hereDownload our FREE guides:Metabolic Health Guide here.

Did you know hidden infections may start from your mouth to your gut? What's happening in your mouth could be the missing link behind your fatigue, hormone changes, or stubborn gut issues. My Guest: Dr. Michelle Jorgensen is a former traditional dentist turned holistic health pioneer, who helps exhausted, health-conscious people finally feel like themselves again—by starting where health actually begins: your cells. She's the founder of Living Well with Dr. Michelle and author of the upcoming book by the same name, which reveals how to decode your symptoms and give your body exactly what it needs to heal, thrive, and stay energized—without the fads, overwhelm, or guesswork. If you're tired of chasing health trends and still not feeling better, this conversation is for you. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:14:12] Why gut health won't improve unless we address imbalances in the oral microbiome? [00:20:28] What are the differences between a traditional dentist and a biological dentist? Why consider making a change? [00:24:13] What might oral symptoms (cavities or jaw pain) reveal about digestion, hormones, or immune system? [00:28:56] What do you recommend to those who don't have access to insurance? [00:29:50] How do biological dentists decide whether to save or pull a tooth? Why could that decision affect your whole-body health? [00:30:57] In Living Well with Dr. Michelle, you introduce the Cell Well Model—how does oral health fit into that model? What happens at the cellular level when we ignore our mouths? [00:33:41] In your book, can you explain how someone's season might influence the way they care for their mouth? How do oral symptoms help reveal someone's season? The Hidden Link From Your Mouth To Your Gut Traditional Dentist vs. Biological Dentist Traditional dentistry focuses on fixing teeth mechanically: drilling, filling, and crowns. Biological dentistry looks at the whole body connection — teeth, gums, microbiome, and systemic health. Oral Health as a Mirror of Overall Health Root canals leave dead tissue that fosters bacteria and chronic low-grade infection, linking to autoimmune issues, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Mercury fillings release toxins that affect the brain, hormones, and gut. Mouth–Gut Connection The mouth is the start of the digestive system. Hidden infections in gums, root canals, or extraction sites can disrupt the gut microbiome and overall digestion.

So many women feel broken, exhausted, and out of alignment with their bodies—and their faith. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Austin Lake, Christian functional medicine practitioner and founder of Wholly Health, to explore the deeper root causes of hormone imbalance, infertility, adrenal dysfunction, and weight gain through a biblical lens. Dr. Lake shares how disrupted circadian rhythm, chronic stress, nutrient depletion, and over-medicalization are keeping women stuck—and how true healing begins by returning to God's design. What We Discuss in This Episode: Why hormone issues like infertility, PCOS, and fatigue are often misunderstood The dangerous over-reliance on birth control and hormone replacement How circadian rhythm, light exposure, and rest impact female hormones The spiritual consequences of idolizing productivity over healing The importance of restoring biblical identity in the healing journey Why women must return to foundational health—before reaching for hormones

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the complexities of perimenopausal symptoms, emphasizing the significant role of the nervous system in amplifying these symptoms. She explores the differences in how women experience hormonal fluctuations and the importance of addressing both hormonal and nervous system health for effective treatment. The conversation also covers various treatment options, including HRT and antidepressants, and highlights the necessity of managing stress and integrating neuroplasticity strategies for lasting relief. Takeaways Perimenopausal symptoms vary greatly among women. The nervous system significantly influences symptom severity. Hormonal fluctuations are not the sole cause of symptoms. HRT can be beneficial for many women. Stress management is crucial for symptom relief. Integrating neuroplasticity can enhance treatment outcomes.

In this episode, Jenn and I are diving deep into something we know a lot about: being Gen X and hitting that phase of life that people used to call a 'midlife crisis.' We're calling BS on that and reframing it as what it really is... a reboot. With our kids getting older, we finally have the space to ask what we want, not just what our families need. We get real about everything from navigating hormonal shifts and prioritizing sleep over everything else, to why I'm taking a whole pharmacy of supplements and have fully embraced my comfy, underwire-free wardrobe. It's about feeling our best, not turning back the clock, and being intentional about this next, powerful chapter. We also get into how this personal reboot is unlocking a professional relaunch. For years, many of us, especially women, made career choices based on our kids' schedules and being the primary caregiver. Now, those doors are wide open, and our motivation has shifted from chasing promotions to finding real fulfillment in coaching and mentoring others. We'll talk about why Gen X is consistently ranked the most stressed generation—stuck translating between Boomers and Millennials—and why it's time for us to reduce the stigma, start talking, and redefine what this stage of life looks like for all of us. Here are some interesting related articles: Reevaluation trend: Forbes (2025) reports Gen X engagement dropped from 35% to 31%, with active disengagement rising from 17% to 18% Forbes.
