Have you noticed changes in your sleep? Do you sometimes feel more anxious than usual? Today, Jay sits down with Emmy award–winning journalist and bestselling author Tamsen Fadal to open up one of the most overlooked conversations in health and wellness: menopause. Tamsen shares her personal journey of confusion, discovery, and advocacy, breaking down why menopause has been shrouded in taboo for so long and how it impacts not just women’s bodies, but their emotions, relationships, and careers. Together, they explore the often-hidden symptoms of perimenopause, from brain fog and anxiety to disrupted sleep and loss of confidence, and how these challenges spill over into every aspect of life. Tamsen explains the science behind the hormonal shifts, debunks the biggest myths, and reveals practical solutions, from lifestyle changes and stress management to hormone therapy and community support. Most importantly, she reminds women that their best years are not behind them, but ahead. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Spot Early Signs of Perimenopause How to Differentiate Perimenopause from Menopause How to Support Your Family Through Menopause How to Build Healthy Midlife Habits How to Find Community During Transition How to Advocate for Yourself at the Doctor’s Office Every transition comes with challenges, but it also carries the possibility of growth, wisdom, and renewal.

Mid-life crises have a bad rap.

On healing our emotional biography, the unwounded soul within, and the choices we keep making to evolve. (0:00) — Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's Introduction and Background (3:35) — The Importance of Holding Ourselves (7:02) — Navigating Addiction and Hyper-Vigilance (8:33) — The Science of Happiness and Integrity (10:56) — Understanding Human Behavior and Emotional Intelligence (14:38) — The Role of Nature and Playfulness (15:32) — Navigating Personal Relationships and Trauma (40:01) — The Impact of Patriarchy and Toxic Masculinity (45:42) — The Importance of Self-Care and Emotional Regulation (46:00) — The Role of Playfulness and Humor in Emotional Health (49:08) — The Impact of Menopause and Andropause on Relationships Through the years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has had the occasion to meet inspiring world leaders — Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron, Pope Francis, King Abdullah II of Jordan, Michelle and Barack Obama, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, First Lady Jill Biden and President Joe Biden, and more — who've inspired her to bring about change and justice in the world. Sophie studied commerce at McGill University and holds a Bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Montreal, as well as a certificate from the Promedia School of Television and Radio. Deeply passionate about exploring the great outdoors, she loves sports, movement, and yoga. She's the former First Lady of Canada, and she's also certified to teach yoga for children and adults, practicing and guiding meditation and yoga nidra sessions to reset the nervous system and find calm. Her first book, Closer Together (Penguin Random House and KO Éditions), encourages us to better understand the mechanisms of our own personality and the quality of all our relationships — most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.

In this episode, we explore the five essential pillars that empower women to navigate midlife with renewed purpose and energy. Rather than fighting against natural transitions (hello, menopause!), we discuss how to harness your accumulated wisdom to create sustainable vitality during this transformative phase. The episode highlights why the strategies that served you in your 30s often fail to support you now, and introduces a framework specifically designed for midlife women's unique challenges. At the heart of this episode is the concept of consistent self-honoring—recognizing that true consistency isn't rigid adherence to perfect plans but an unwavering commitment to honor yourself through life's inevitable changes. We explore how sustainable change, self-awareness, energy-aligned planning, self-trust, and adaptive resilience work together to create lasting transformation. Key takeaways include… Understanding why dramatic overhauls typically fail midlife women How hormone fluctuations affect energy levels and require new planning approaches Practical techniques for rebuilding self-trust after periods of self-neglect The transformative power of adapting your expectations while maintaining core commitments Have a listen, and if it lands, consider sharing it with the women in your life who could benefit from hearing the message.

If you've ever doubted your ability to make muscle mass and strength gains after menopause, this episode is for you. It's not too late to gain strength and lean muscle mass can be gained at any age—even after 85.   Based on a 2024 Study on Resistance Training in Older Adults by Int. Journal of Sports Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism, here's what happened and the results: Participants:  17 adults aged 65–75. 12 adults aged 85+. Program:  Duration: 12 weeks, 3x per week Structure: Warm-up  4 lower body sets 3 upper body exercises (2 sets each) Stretching Results: Quadriceps strength increased in all participants 65–75 group: 1–18%  85+ group: 6–21%  1RM leg extension increased in all participants 65–75 group: 38% ± 20%  85+ group: 46% ± 14%  Improvements were seen in lean mass, strength and functional activities like chair stands, gait speed, timed up-and-go.   Defining Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause Exercise intensity is based on decreasing repetitions to muscular fatigue.  Exercise volume is based on the number of sets.   Considerations for Exercise Volume in Women in Menopause Volume = sets x reps x weight or total weekly workload. Start small (1–2 sets, 2x per week if inactive). Build to 3x only once consistent. Balance recovery: not just alternating workout/rest days, but also factoring in life stress. Menopausal women may need 48–72 hours between resistance sessions, per muscle group.   For women post menopause; increasing the number of days per week to reach greater exercise volume can be problematic because of the need for balance with recovery days. We don't mean 1 day work, 1 day rest. It can mean 1 day of high intensity work and 2 or 3 days light or moderate exercise for another type for recovery.   Start Your Strength Gains After Menopause The beginning phases of exercise should last longer for a woman starting in her 60s or 70s. Muscle, ligaments and tendons collectively are not as resilient at 60 as they were at 20. Since most early improvements are due to neural adaptations and heavier weights don't accelerate that, progress at a pace so you know you've exercised muscles but aren't sore or uncomfortable. You're in this for life. There's time.   The adaptive response to resistance training is preserved even in males and females over 85.   Protein & Resistance Training Two drivers of muscle protein synthesis: Resistance Training Adequate Protein. For metabolic health: ~100g/day (for 160 lb woman). For optimal fitness: closer to 160g/day. Protein recommendation for a 160lb adult is 60 grams of protein day. Only 46% of older adults get that.   5-Step Protein & Resistance Training Process: Track your current protein intake. Compare with recommendations based on age, weight, activity. Identify gaps without judgment. Close the gap gradually. Set short-term goals, especially starting with breakfast protein.   Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause are Dependent On… Relative Strength Training Power decreased significantly after the age of 50 years and was negatively and strongly associated with mobility limitations.   Mobility & Longevity Connection Strength must be paired with mobility to prevent limitations. Key focus areas: ankles, hips, upper back. Loss of mobility = harder to regain later. More… much more on mobility in upcoming posts.

As we head into Labor Day weekend, I'm flexing one of my superpowers: organizing information.   In this episode of The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast, I share the story behind my book binder — a simple but powerful system that helps me keep track of dozens of book recommendations and the 20–30 books I read each year. You'll hear how I went from barely finding time to read as a busy mom to becoming an audiobook enthusiast with a binder full of possibilities.   I'll also share 26 books currently on my “to be read” list (plus the Spy School series I'm enjoying with my son Kraig). Maybe you'll discover your next great read from this podcast episode!   Even if books aren't your thing, you'll walk away with this takeaway: what makes you weird might actually be your superpower. For me, it's organizing information. For you, it could be something else entirely — and when you embrace it, life gets easier, less stressful, and more fun. You just might help other people too!

Gender-affirming care generally leads to improved mental health outcomes for transgender individuals [1, 2, 11, 12]. The link between hormones and psychosis Evidence suggests that estrogen may have a protective effect against psychotic disorders, possibly due to its influence on neurotransmitter systems involved in schizophrenia [1, 16]. Psychotic symptoms are more likely to worsen during a drop in estrogen levels, such as during the perimenstrual period or menopause [1, 5, 16]. This research has led to the "estrogen hypothesis of psychosis," which states that low estrogen levels are associated with a higher occurrence of psychotic disorders in women [1, 5, 16]. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] For trans men (assigned female at birth) A reduction in estrogen, rather than an increase in testosterone, may be the contributing factor if psychosis occurs during GAHT [1, 14, 16]. A case study on estrogen reduction: One case study describes a trans man who started testosterone therapy in his 30s and developed psychosis around the time of menopause, when his natural estrogen levels were dropping [1]. The authors hypothesized that the decrease in estrogen, rather than the testosterone, was the contributing factor to his psychosis [1]. GAHT during menopause: Menopause-associated psychosis (MAP), which develops after age 40, affects women more than men [1, 5]. In the case of trans men, the combination of GAHT and the natural decrease of estrogen during menopause could potentially present a challenge [1, 5, 14]. [6, 7, 8] For trans women (assigned male at birth) Psychosis has been reported in some trans women after discontinuing estrogen therapy. A case study of estrogen withdrawal: In one reported case, a 24-year-old trans woman who was on non-prescription estrogen experienced a psychotic episode after she stopped taking the hormones. Each time she discontinued the therapy, her psychosis returned [5, 17]. Positive mental health effects of GAHT: While more research is needed, one study on trans women found that after starting GAHT, they showed an increase in serotonin transporter (SERT) binding in certain brain regions, which is associated with improved mood [19]. This offers a potential biological explanation for the overall mental health benefits often seen with GAHT [19]. [9, 10, 11, 12] Other factors in the relationship The connection between GAHT and psychosis is complex and may involve factors beyond hormonal shifts alone [1, 16]. Underlying ...

As with many things in the medical world, there is a lot of conflicting information out there, and it's important we cut through the noise to find the truth so that we can live, age and feel WELL.In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Sharon Stills, naturopathic medical doctor and women's health expert, for a deep conversation on how to gracefully navigate every stage of a woman's hormonal journey—from perimenopause through menopause and beyond.Dr. Stills shares why understanding our hormones is key to thriving, not just surviving, during these transitions. From addressing common symptoms like sleep changes, mood swings, and weight gain, to uncovering the gifts of postmenopause, Dr. Stills emphasizes that women don't have to “fall apart” as they age. Instead, with the right tools and mindset, these years can be a time of renewed vitality, wisdom, and joy. But it does require knowledge--including knowing more about what your body truly needs to thrive in every season of life. And knowing that we have. been given some very bad information, and it's time to get the truth and the help and support we all need.

To MP3 Converter 2 (amvidia.com)We're celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary — and sharing some of the most powerful lessons we've learned about staying together, keeping love alive, and growing as partners. We also talk about the psychology of “Meno-Divorce” vs. the male midlife crisis, and why midlife is less about crisis and more about a call to consciousness. For us, love has been about stretching — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — and continuing to choose each other every day. Whether you're in a relationship or not/year one or year fifty-one, we hope this episode inspires you to see love not as a destination, but as a living, evolving path.

Bloody hell, perimenopause is a ride. I sat down with Karen Stein, ex-Deloitte partner turned leadership coach and menopause-at-work trailblazer, and we got real about the chaos, confusion, and silence that surrounds this stage of life. We talked about my own messy journey through HRT, testosterone, fatigue, and re-finding my 'sense of self,' and Karen dropped insights on why workplaces need to wake up to what their midlife women are going through. From the 48 symptoms no one talks about, to the Senate inquiry that revealed doctors only get one hour of menopause training, to why men need to be in this conversation too... this chat is equal parts eye-opening, practical, and validating.

Send me a text!Honoring menopause as a life stage, not just a phase to get through acknowledges the weight of this transition. We live in a society that hasn't given much room to understanding women's bodies. While there is more information now than before, there are still large gaps in support for the physical, mental, and emotional experience of menopause. Too often, women don't even begin to ask for information until we are already experiencing the challenges of shifting hormones. We turn to managing symptoms instead of caring for this pivotal transition.   In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Marelda Rodrigues to join me in a conversation about honoring menopause as a life stage and yourself as deserving of care. Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Experiencing grief in physical transitionsSocietal norms, gaps in information, and becoming an advocate for yourselfHealth and self-care look different in different phases of lifeSlowing down and making room to learn your new body LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:NPR – Doctors Urge FDA to Remove Warning On Hormone Therapy for MenopauseLast Week Tonight – Make America Healthy AgainCollaborative Leadership from Boardroom to Patient-Centered Caregiving episode CONNECT WITH MARELDAWebsiteInstagram – Decide to HealInstagram – Sovereign Becoming Menopause Guide CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask Valerie (anonymous form)Sign up for Valerie's newsletterApply to be coached on the podcastSchedule an exploration callListen to the Unlimited Playlist This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters Collective Support the show

Are you always the one saying yes — even when you want to say no? If you're constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own, you might be stuck in the people pleasing trap — and it could be rewiring your brain in dangerous ways. In this episode, I share how chronic people pleasing not only impacts your emotional well-being but may also put your cognitive health at risk.What to Listen For[00:02:10] How social connections reduce dementia risk — and why quality matters more than quantity[00:04:00] The childhood experience that rewired Amy's brain to prioritize others over herself[00:06:30] The anxious loop people pleasers live in: scanning for approval and avoiding rejection[00:08:10] The advice from a mentor that changed everything: “No is a complete sentence”[00:09:20] Why people pleasing is a form of self-abandonment[00:10:30] The fawn response: how appeasing others is a trauma-based coping mechanism[00:11:50] The neurological impact of people pleasing: cortisol, hippocampal shrinkage, and memory loss[00:13:15] Brene Brown's distinction between “fitting in” and “true belonging” — and how it applies to brain health[00:15:40] The hidden toll on cognitive function: anxiety, indecision, and loss of interoception[00:21:10] 3 strategies to rewire your brain and stop compulsive complianceChronic people pleasing isn't just draining — it's dangerous. It keeps your brain in a constant stress loop, contributes to inflammation, and erodes your self-trust. But the good news is this: your brain is plastic, and with every boundary you set, you're creating a new pathway toward resilience, clarity, and health. Start by inserting a pause, practicing low-stakes boundaries, and reconnecting with your authentic self.

A few months ago, I shared some of my personal experiences in perimenopause.  Today I am back with a big update. Since the last episode on this topic, I had a severe shift in my mental health, including a raging comeback of my lifelong anxiety and panic.  On top of this, I started having emotional responses to situations that I could tell were very much disproportionate to the situation, yet I couldn't seem to talk myself out of severe and dark emotional states. Initially, I thought this was all due to general life stress and the relentless state of the world. After a few months of waking up in sheer panic night after night, I asked my doctor if we could recheck my hormones. WOW, did those lab results paint a picture!  I received my lab results via email on a Friday afternoon. Since my follow-up with my doctor wasn't until the next week, I did what any anxiety-ridden perimenopausal 49-year-old woman would do. I went straight to my pal, Chatty (ie: ChatGPT). Chatty broke everything down for me and told me that, based on my lab work, I was very likely in the final stages of perimenopause or early stages of menopause. Chatty also noted that my lack of estrogen (which was so low it literally did not register on the lab work) may have me experiencing the following: Tearfulness or crying more easily Feeling raw, edgy, or like your “emotional skin is thinner” Mood crashes that feel out of proportion to the trigger Moments of despair or hopelessness that feel unfamiliar Feeling more reactive or “on edge” without clear cause Loss of resilience in situations you used to handle with ease CHECK. CHECK. CHECK. CHECK. I didn't even realize how incredibly awful I had been feeling until I saw this list and realized that every single item was ME! I took the list to my husband, who lovingly verified that he had seen this all in me in recent months and shared, “You really haven't been yourself for a while.” The next week, I had my lab review appointment with my doctor, who told me, “We are going to fast-track HRT for you. You need estrogen asap!” She called in my prescription and warned me that it would take a few weeks, maybe longer, before I noticed any significant changes in how I felt.   I put on my first hormone patch at 4 pm on a Tuesday. By Wednesday at 8 am, I felt like a new woman! I felt energetic, optimistic, motivated, and at ease. No panic, no anxiety. The sun shone brighter, the chirping birds made me smile (instead of annoying me), I didn't want to scream at my family for no reason, and I couldn't wait to tackle my To Do List for the day. I immediately realized how horrible my quality of life had become over the last few months. In short, HRT brought me back to myself in 16 hours.   In this episode, I share more of my story and provide a few recommendations for you to get the proper support during your own perimenopause/menopause journey. I'm so lucky to have a fantastic doctor, which I know is not the case for so many women. I hope my story will help you find the support you need during this season. If you are a woman between the ages of 35 and 55, this episode is for you!  Links Mentioned: Join my Influence & Ignite Retreat for Women Business Owners: saradean.com/retreat Shameless Leadership Ep 924: More Talking About Menopause Please Dr. Mary Claire Haver on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drmaryclaire Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

As women enter perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts—declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—can ripple through nearly every system in the body, impacting bone density, cardiovascular health, metabolism, brain function, and sexual wellbeing. Misinterpretation of past research left millions fearful of hormone therapy, yet newer evidence shows that bioidentical hormones, started within a specific “window of opportunity,” can protect the heart, brain, bones, and quality of life. Supporting this transition in a woman's life also means addressing nutrition, gut health, stress, sleep, and strength training—powerful tools that work alongside hormones to restore vitality. With the right knowledge and care, this phase of life can be transformational, leading to renewal, resilience, and long-term health protection. In this episode, I explore, along with Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Cindy Geyer, how we can shift our thinking of peri-menopause and menopause to one of renewed health and vitality. Mary Claire Haver, MD, FACOG, CMP, is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, and Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner.
