I am delighted to connect with Dr. Sarah Berry today. She is a professor at King's College London and the Chief Scientist at the science and nutrition company, Zoe. As an academic leader in nutrition science, Sarah has conducted over 35 human nutritional studies, and she currently leads the world's largest in-depth nutrition research project, the ZOE Predict Study. Her research is at the forefront of personalized nutrition, deepening our understanding of fats and the structure of food. Her recent studies explore menopause, snacking, cardiometabolic health, and more.  In our conversation today, we explore the general tendency of social and other media to misrepresent nutrition and discuss the importance of the food landscape, the food matrix, and fiber in addition to bioindividuality and personalized nutrition. Dr. Berry explains why bowel cancer rates in young adults are increasing and the potential drivers of that, and we dive into the impact of the exposome, the influence of menopause on our microbiome, and cardiometabolic risk factors. We examine the importance of polyphenols and other bioactive compounds, the demonization of fats and cholesterol, and we tackle the misinformation surrounding seed oils, clarifying why we should remain open-minded. We also share some simple swaps that women in perimenopause and menopause can apply.  This conversation with Dr. Sarah Berry is rich and thought-provoking, so you will likely want to listen to it more than once. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How food labelling is so often misleading Why you should be cautious about taking nutritional advice from medical influencers The importance of considering the underlying factors that determine how healthy a particular food is   Why fiber is essential for a healthy microbiome How to avoid discomfort by spreading your fiber intake throughout the day The importance of personalized nutrition Potential drivers of early-onset colorectal cancer How the microbiome composition changes after menopause The value of polyphenols and dietary fat  Dr. Berry debunks common misconceptions about seed oils versus butter Some simple swaps to help women in perimenopause and menopause get enough fiber into their diets Bio:  Professor Sarah Berry Sarah is a Professor at King's College London and Chief Scientist at ZOE, the science and nutrition company.

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.

Kathleen Lenihan, Strategic Director of HR of Trigon Hotels, tells PJ how they accommodate menopause concerns and won a Gold Standard by the Menopause Hub. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the Dementia Researcher - Xxplored Women's Brain Health podcast, host Dr Laura Stankeviciute speaks with Professor Claudia Barth from Charite University and Dr Gillian Coughlan from Harvard Medical School to examine the midlife transition, menopause and its significance for women's brain health. Together they outline what the menopause truly involves across the early, late, and post stages, and explain how hormonal change affects brain structure, energy use, mood, and cognition. They also explore why this period may coincide with greater vulnerability to later Alzheimer's disease and discuss the role of early or surgical menopause, symptom severity, and gaps in existing research cohorts. The episode highlights the need for richer reproductive data, real time biomarker studies, and closer collaboration with digital health tools to better capture women's lived experiences. It reflects a growing wave of research and public interest aimed at improving understanding, support, and evidence based care during this important life stage. -- Takeaways ● Menopause is a long transition shaped by fluctuating hormones. ● Cognitive and mood symptoms reflect changes in brain networks. ● Earlier menopause is linked with increased later Alzheimer's risk. ● Major research cohorts lack detailed reproductive data. ● New real time studies are beginning to track symptoms and biomarkers. ● Digital tools will be key for future research. ● Better global representation is needed across studies. ● Momentum is building to close long standing gaps in women's health. -- Find bios on all our speakers, a full transcript of the show and more on our website at https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk - Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/dementia_researcher/ https://www.facebook.com/Dementia.Researcher/ https://www.twitter.com/demrescommunity https://www.linkedin.com/company/dementia-researcher https://www.bsky.app/profile/dementiare…archer.bsky.social -- Download and Register with our Community App: https://www.onelink.to/dementiaresearcher -- Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Menopause and Research Focus 07:25 Understanding Menopause: Definitions and Stages 16:27 Menopause and Alzheimer's Disease: A Critical Connection 22:43 Understanding Menopause and Brain Health 25:21 Historical Blind Spots in Alzheimer's Research 26:38 The Importance of Reproductive Variables 31:46 Biomarkers and Methodologies in Women's Health Research 35:28 Industry Collaboration in Research 39:00 Personal Reflections on Women's Brain Health

In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we dive into the often misunderstood journey of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Taniqua Miller, a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause specialist, joins us to discuss the real symptoms women experience, why traditional healthcare often falls short, and how to build a comprehensive care team for this major life transition. Tune in as we explore the physical, emotional, and relational changes that come with this transition, practical strategies for managing symptoms, and why community matters more than ever during midlife. If you're looking to understand what's happening in your body during perimenopause or support someone going through it, you won't want to miss this one!Key Takeaways: ● Understanding the Timeline: Perimenopause typically lasts 4-5 years before menopause (defined as 12 months without a period), with early symptoms often showing up as mood changes, joint pain, and sleep disruption before the classic hot flashes arrive. ● Build Your Care Team: Just like pregnancy or adolescence, this transition requires a comprehensive support system including medical providers, mental health professionals, pelvic floor physical therapists, and community—not just one annual doctor's visit. ● You're Not Broken: The grief, rage, brain fog, and physical changes are real physiological responses to hormonal shifts, not personal failures. Self-compassion and education are the first steps toward reclaiming agency during this transition.Listen Now: Ready to get inspired?

In case you missed it, last week was quite the week in the menopause world. The FDA made a landmark decision to remove all black box warnings from estrogen products and to update the labels of individual products. I was in the room where it all happened and in this episode, I'm going to break it all down for you. But here's the headline- this label change is overall, a good thing, a very good thing. A transcript of this podcast, along with photos and graphics, can be found on DrStreicher.Substack.com In this episode:  A historical perspective of how the Black Box label came to be on all estrogen products A review of the Women's Health Initiative Study  (WHI) that lead to the specific warnings on the label.  The fall out from the release of the WHI The Problems with the Black Box label on estrogen products Class Labeling The difference between oral, transdermal and local vaginal estrogen.  How the required black box label influenced the likelihood of physicians writing a prescription for estrogen, and the likelihood that women would use hormone therapy.  Why I never stopped prescribing estrogen Last week's announcement from the FDA If it is medically appropriate to remove the black box warning from local vaginal estrogen If it is medically appropriate to remove the black box warning from systemic estrogen The inaccurate messaging during the FDA press conference The POLITICS  of WHY the FDA removed the Black Box warnings Related Podcasts:  Episode 124 All Hormones Are Not Created Equal with Dr. James Simon Episode 164 Is Bioidentical Always Best?

Today's conversation goes deep into what really happens when women finally step into a menopause support space, the privacy they protect fiercely, the relief they feel when they discover they're not alone, and the hunger for real, accessible care. Guiding this exploration is Angela MacGregor, the powerhouse founder of the National Menopause Show. Angela is rewriting the script on how Canada talks about menopause: bold, future-focused, and grounded in evidence and humanity. Together, we unpack why so many women show up to these sessions quietly and alone, why access to informed care still feels out of reach, and how normalization and community are slowly breaking decades of stigma. Angela brings her signature clarity and courage as we explore what it truly means to elevate menopause from a whispered topic to a national priority,  one honest conversation at a time. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why privacy is a top reason women attend menopause sessions solo The massive access gap in menopause care — and how it impacts real lives The moment of “Oh… it's not just me” that shifts everything How stigma dissolves when menopause becomes a normalized, public conversation The cultural shift Angela is championing through the National Menopause Show Key Takeaways Women often seek menopause support alone for privacy Access to menopause-informed care remains limited Shared experiences bring relief, connection, and validation Every menopause journey is unique — and deserves respect Education empowers women, providers, and workplaces Larger cultural conversations are changing fast Safe, stigma-free spaces are essential for women's health and confidence Chapters: 00:00:00 -  Introduction to Angela MacGregor  00:03:00 - The National Menopause Show's Impact 00:09:00 - Challenges Women Face During Menopause 00:15:00 - The Importance of Community and Education 00:21:00  - Advocacy and Support from Healthcare Providers Let's Stay Connected: Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Got questions or feedback?

Known as The Hormone Boss, Dr. Crawford reveals the truth about menopause, perimenopause, burnout, fatigue, and why conventional medicine is still operating from outdated hormonal science. Dr. Crawford opens up about her journey from growing up in poverty to becoming a nationally recognized naturopathic physician dedicated to empowering women with real answers.

Dr. Crawford outlines her proven six-month protocol, designed to repair hormone production at the root. Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, burnout, or searching for answers your doctor can't explain, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and hopeful.

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.

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

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause and feeling disconnected from yourself? This episode of Pleasure in the Pause explores how gratitude can be a powerful tool for calming your nervous system, managing midlife symptoms, and finding meaning during this transformative phase. Gabriela Espinosa sits down with Dr. Deepti Gandhi, a board-certified family medicine physician and menopause specialist, to uncover the neuroscience behind gratitude practices and how they can help you reconnect with yourself during hormonal transitions. Whether you're struggling with brain fog, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed, this conversation offers evidence-based strategies and a guided gratitude practice that you can start today.Dr. Deepti Gandhi is a board-certified family medicine physician with over 20 years of experience supporting women through menopause. As a North American Menopause Society (NAMS) certified practitioner and personal development coach, she brings both scientific expertise and compassionate guidance to women's health. Dr. Gandhi specializes in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), symptom management, and mindset tools for thriving in midlife. She maintains a private practice, works with the telehealth company My Alloy, and is a sought-after speaker on menopause and women's wellness.Highlights from our discussion include:Practicing gratitude shifts neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which directly impact mood and decision-making. It also activates pro-social brain circuitry, helping you move from fear-based thinking to connection and resilience—especially important during the emotional rollercoaster of perimenopause.Gratitude is not about toxic positivity or bypassing difficult emotions. You must feel anger, grief, and frustration about midlife changes before gratitude can create meaningful shifts. Suppressed emotions can manifest as physical illness, so give yourself permission to process what you're experiencing.You don't need elaborate rituals. Dr. Gandhi prescribes gratitude just like medication—whether it's journaling three things before bed, sharing gratitude at the dinner table, or taking two minutes for a self-gratitude breathing exercise, consistency matters more than complexity.The decline in estrogen that comes with menopause can actually free you from people-pleasing patterns and excessive caretaking. This transition invites you to redraw boundaries, prioritize yourself, and design a new blueprint for the decades ahead—you're a trailblazer creating a healthier model for future generations.This week, try the guided self-gratitude practice from this episode. It might just shift everything.CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode, Dr. Allyson Brooks, the Ginny Ueberroth Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair of the Hoag Women's Health Institute, discusses how Hoag is transforming menopause care through multidisciplinary collaboration, education, and community engagement. She shares how the FDA's recent hormone therapy update and women's growing advocacy are reshaping the future of midlife health.

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.

Can you share a bit about that experience and how it led you to the work you do now? [00:19:26] You talk a lot about the power of small shifts — what does that mean in practice, and why do you think women often overlook the little things? [00:24:50] What are a few of those small shifts that can make the biggest difference for women going through perimenopause or menopause? [00:28:15] You often say healing doesn't have to be hard. What are some ways women can make lifestyle changes feel easier and more sustainable? [00:30:28] How do you help women move from frustration or fear about their bodies into confidence and trust again? [00:34:07] You're also hosting the Holistic Menopause Solutions Summit — how does that event tie into the message you're sharing here today?

Joining me this week is therapist and the author of the new book Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life's Next Period, Lauren A. Tetenbaum.   Together we explore:   - The perimenopause symptoms that often begin in your 30s and 40s, long before your period stops. - How hormonal changes affect your mood, identity, relationships, and sense of self — and why understanding this can be profoundly grounding. - Why perimenopause isn't just a "women's issue," but a family and cultural one, impacting partners, kids, and the emotional climate of a home. - How to talk to your kids (yes, including your sons!) about menstruation, menopause, and the full arc of reproductive life in ways that reduce shame and build empathy. - Practical strategies for navigating this transition, including how to advocate for yourself with healthcare providers, what kinds of support actually help, and how to build a mental health plan that works for your body and life.   Our message is simple but powerful: when women understand what's happening in their bodies and get the support they deserve, they're able to move through this transition with more confidence, steadiness, and compassion for themselves and the people they love.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:
