Ready to boost your energy and future-proof your health? In this episode, I'm joined by expert neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, who breaks down why your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses inside your cells—are the secret to healthy aging.  She explains how the perimenopause and menopause transition is not just hormonal, but a neuroendocrine shift that impacts your brain, mood, energy, AND vitality.  And even if you're doing your best to bring on lifestyle recommendations for optimizing mitochondrial health, odds are you still need more support than just that in midlife. So, that's where the supplement MitoQ comes into play.  As MitoQ's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell reveals how this advanced antioxidant works deep inside your cells to enhance mitochondrial function, boosting mental clarity and long-term longevity.  Tune in and discover how to fuel your energy, elevate your mood, and embrace midlife feeling stronger than ever!

Through targeted nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle shifts, Jayne discovered that “normal” doesn't always mean optimal — and that true wellness starts when you finally listen to what your body is trying to say.If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” results but know something deeper is off, this episode will empower you to dig deeper and reclaim your vitality — one insight at a time.Ready to explore your own functional lab journey?Book a session with Dee here → https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourselfConnect with Dee on Instagram for daily hormone, gut, and mineral tips → HereDisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women nationwide, yet during midlife—the crucial time for prevention—many women fall out of regular medical care.Host Dr. Rachel Pope is joined by Dr. Lisa Larkin, an internal medicine and women's health expert and founder of Ms. Medicine. They discuss why women's cardiovascular risk spikes around menopause and what you can do about it now.The Midlife Risk SpikeDr. Larkin highlights a failure in the healthcare system: women aged 40 to 60 often receive the least medical care, right when prevention is most critical.The perimenopausal transition causes rapid and significant metabolic changes: Cholesterol rises and HDL protection declines. Development of insulin resistance. Increase in visceral fat (the "risky fat" around organs), which is a marker for cardiovascular disease.Standard risk tools often underestimate risk in women because they don't account for sex-specific factors like adverse pregnancy outcomes (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes). Women are also often allowed to run higher blood pressures, missing opportunities for early intervention.Management & The "Missed Boat" QuestionDr. Larkin stresses that Body Composition is more important than BMI, as most women gain risky visceral fat during this time. She recommends tracking body composition annually.For women in their mid-60s who ask if they've missed the boat on prevention or Hormone Therapy (HT): Assessment is Key: Dr. Larkin performs a highly individualized assessment, often utilizing a Coronary Calcium Score to check for established plaque. If Risk is Low: A patient with perfect health metrics and a Calcium Score of zero may still be a candidate for HT to treat symptoms and support bone health. If Risk is High: The priority is to aggressively fix every single risk factor (hypertension, elevated lipids) before considering hormones, as established plaque may carry more risk with estrogen.Dr. Larkin emphasizes that women must be their best advocates because the healthcare system is currently failing to provide the comprehensive care needed during this pivotal stage of life.

Chronic stress and hormone chaos don't just steal your energy; they rewrite your biology. Dr. Anna Cabeca shares how balancing oxytocin, managing cortisol, and tracking your body's pH can reset metabolism, mood, and even fertility.After losing her mother to heart disease and facing her own early menopause diagnosis, Dr. Anna transformed her life (and thousands of others) by blending science with ancient wisdom. Her story of reversing infertility, healing burnout, and discovering the power of “keto-green” living shows what happens when you let your body feel safe again.In this episode, we talk about how stress hormones block love hormones, how mindset shifts literally change chemistry, and why measuring something as simple as urine pH can tell you if your body is thriving or burning out.She also opens up about her “second menopause,” her daughter's rodeo journey, and how joy, connection, and oxytocin might be the most powerful anti-aging tools we've ignored.“Menopause is a magical transition...

EP. 237 - Grab my FREE GUIDE: Assess Your Metabolic Health Today I'm covering one of my favorite topics: high blood pressure. I've yet to meet a case I couldn't help significantly course correct with lifestyle changes and a solid, integrative approach to care. This truly is not a drug deficiency problem. High blood pressure is a lifestyle issue, plain and simple, and a brand-new study from October 2025 drives that point home beautifully. In this episode, I'm breaking down that research, which looked at millions of people and found that almost every case of heart disease, stroke, or heart failure had at least one non-optimal risk factor in play.

Menopause is an often overlooked stage of life, but experts believe its impact on women's lives deserves a lot more attention and research. A conference happening Thursday in Minneapolis is bringing together leaders, health care experts and advocates to bring midlife women's health to the forefront. The conference is being put on by the local organization, Let's Talk Women. Founder Katie Severt joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share more.

Urinary tract infections — or UTIs — aren't the most glamorous topic, but they're incredibly important, and we just don't talk about them enough. If you've ever had one, you'll know how miserable they can be: the burning, the stinging, those endless trips to the loo, the pain, and that bone-crushing fatigue. They can really knock you sideways.For many women, UTIs become more common — and more stubborn — during perimenopause and menopause.In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Helen Lake, a specialist urology nurse, to help us understand why UTIs happen, why they mustn't be ignored, and what you can do about them — from medical treatments to nutrition and supplements.Helen explains everything you need to know about identifying, understanding, and managing UTIs — and hopefully banishing them for good. We cover the key symptoms, prevention strategies like staying hydrated and double-voiding, why test results aren't always conclusive, and when antibiotics are needed. We also look at the role of beneficial bacteria, cranberry and D-mannose, vaginal moisturisers, topical oestrogen, and how to advocate for yourself with your GP.If you've found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend who might benefit too.

One of the questions that comes up again and again in the Red School community is this: how can I free up my voice and share my truth? So many of us, particularly women and those socialised as female feel stuck, silenced or disconnected from our true expression, so today we're exploring how the practice of checking in every day with your menstrual cycle and how it's influencing your energy and mood can support you on this quest. Through our personal stories as well as stories from the community, we explore how menstrual cycle awareness is a discipline that keeps you close to yourself, and how this practice organically awakens an inner warmth, connection and confidence which lines you up to receive inspiration about what it is that you're here to express and share with the world. We explore:How menstruation cocoons you so that you can step away from the noise of the world and rest into a sanctuary of connection with your voice - the inner winter silences the world so that you can finally hear yourself. Tools for working with your inner critic and self expression - such as containing the critic in the premenstrual phase of the cycle - so that you can practice experimenting and paying with sharing your voice in the preovulatory phase, your inner spring.How to support ourselves when the holding back of our voice comes out as premenstrual rage or implodes inside as depressive cycles. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In this episode of Black Women's Health, Dr. Rahman will discuss why we need more research, not more menopause products,Currently;Pharma tells women : "Here's a prescription solution."Wellness tells women: "Here's a supplement solution"'Food Industry: "Here's a menopause bar with collagen and adaptogens for $29.99."The question:- If symptoms are due to declining estrogen levels, why womens' symptoms present so differently.The problem :- For the global billion dollar menopause market, it is important to keep women "in need of their services and products".- Women get products but get few answers with limited care and limited research Bottom line:The menopause industry has grown faster than menopause research.

Grazing. Chronic stress. Poor sleep. Rushed meals. Sitting for long hours. Underfueled workouts. Estrogen decline. There's a lot more behind our fasting glucose and A1C than how many carbs we eat. This week we return to one of the most consistently requested topics: blood sugar meaning and management with Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN. We explore what glucose spikes really mean, why time-in-range and variability matter more than a single peak, and how stress, sleep, and even eating speed affect your numbers. We cover carb timing, meal sequencing, post-meal walks, creatine, why under-fueling can make exercise spikes worse, and much more so you can keep glucose working for your performance and overall health.Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN, heads up the clinical nutrition team at Nutrisense. Liz holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health and is a board-certified nutrition specialist (CNS) as well as a licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN). In her time as a nutritionist, Liz has educated and counseled hundreds of clients in areas such as weight loss, hormonal imbalances, and gastrointestinal diseases. Her approach is rooted in the tenets of functional medicine, and she strives to identify the root cause of the issue instead of simply treating the symptoms. She realizes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving optimal health and feels it is crucial to be in an equal partnership with her clients.

Send us a textAfter birth, many women are left blindsided by physical changes they never expected. Vaginal dryness, painful sex, recurring UTIs, and even emotional strain can all show up during breastfeeding — but most mothers are never told why. In this episode, we sit down with Sara Perelmuter, a third-year medical student at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Sara currently serves as president of the Sexual Medicine Research Team and has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications on reproductive and genitourinary health.Sara explains the hormonal shifts that mimic menopause in the postpartum period, why so many women are suffering in silence, and what the research reveals about both the prevalence of these symptoms and the safe, effective treatments available — including pelvic floor therapy, moisturizers, lubricants, and topical vaginal estrogen.These symptoms are common, but they are not inevitable. By naming and studying them, we open the door to treatment and better care.********** Needed

Send us a textSpeaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker unpacks what collagen actually is, why production slows with age and menopause, and how to protect and build it with food and daily habits. She weighs the evidence on collagen supplements, shares safety guardrails, and lays out a practical plan for skin, joints, and bones.Dr. Thacker starts with the big levers: why smoking, alcohol, sugar, and UV exposure damage collagen, and how simple shifts—SPF on chronically exposed skin, smarter sun for vitamin D, and a realistic supplement plan after age 40—help you age slower. Then she moves to the plate. Dr. Thacker lists the collagen-rich foods like bone broth, chicken skin, and fish skin, plus the nutrients that actually drive collagen synthesis: complete protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper.Curious about powders and peptides? Dr. Thacker dives into when and how to choose safe supplement products.If this conversation helps you think differently about your routine, tap follow, share it with a friend who's collagen-curious, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.

You know those moments when your body says, “enough,” but your ambition says, “keep going”? Today's guest, Doralice Allen, knows that crossroads all too well. As a former corporate leader managing a 25-person team, she was powering through brain fog, sleepless nights, and relentless hot flashes—until she realized that pushing harder wasn't strength, it was survival. That wake-up call led Doralice to rebuild her health from the inside out and transform her pain into purpose. Now a certified menopause and life coach, she's the founder of Pause Evolution, helping high-achieving women 40 and beyond reclaim their clarity, energy, and confidence — without sacrificing their success. In this conversation, Doralice shares how understanding menopause symptoms like night sweats, anxiety, and brain fog can actually become a leadership advantage. She reveals her five-step Sleep & Focus Checklist, a simple yet powerful tool for restoring rest, balance, and mental sharpness — and shows us what's possible when women stop pushing through the pause and start leading from it.
