Podcasts about Menopause

In this episode, I sit down with Tamsen Fadal, longtime news anchor turned menopause advocate, to talk about the hormone conversation nobody prepared us for. She shares her story of the on-air hot flash that stopped her mid-broadcast, how she found out she was in menopause from a four-word patient portal note, and her experience being dismissed by doctors. Tamsen breaks down the differences between perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, the early symptoms women in their 30s and 40s should have on their radar, and what hormone therapy actually looks like. Plus, we get into the mental health side of it all and how to support the women in our lives going through it right now.Key Takeaway / Points:The live TV hot flash that ended her broadcast early and her menopause diagnosisWhy so many women are dismissed when they seek help for hormone-related symptomsPerimenopause vs. menopause vs. post-menopause: what each stage actually meansThe surprising symptoms women miss: brain fog, joint pain, frozen shoulder, and rageHormone therapy explained: patches, progesterone, testosterone, and vaginal estrogenWhy your mid-30s is exactly the right time to have this on your radar and not to be scared, but preparedHow to support the women going through menopause in your lifeGet Tamsen's book, How To MenopauseFollow Tamsen:Instagram: @tamsenfadal @thetamsenshow Website: tamsenfadal.comTikTok: @tamsenfadalPodcast: The Tamsen Show Follow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYouTube: Cameron Rogers

You've been lied to about menopause. Hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain, low libido, mood swings, and exhaustion are not symptoms you simply have to accept. Dr. Anna Cabeca is here to bust the biggest myths about women's hormones, reveal what may really be driving your symptoms, and explain why healing is possible. Your body is not broken, and suffering is not inevitable. The triple-board-certified OB-GYN, bestselling author, hormone expert, and woman known as The Girlfriend Doctor has lived this transformation herself. After being diagnosed with early menopause and infertility at 39, she traveled the world searching for answers. At 41, after more than two years without a period, she naturally conceived the child she had been told she could never have. Dr. Anna shares why menopause may be natural and mandatory, but suffering through it does not have to be. She explains how stress, cortisol, insulin resistance, nutrition, sleep, trauma, and emotional health can all influence the way women experience perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why oxytocin-building practices like laughter, gratitude, pleasure, connection, and playing with your pets may help counter chronic stress• The two hormones Dr. Anna says women need to pay special attention to in midlife• Why women may need to approach intermittent fasting differently than men• How morning sunlight, sleep hygiene, hydration, greens, healthy fats, and adaptogens can support the body• The connection between trauma, functional freeze, the nervous system, and hormonal health• Why emotional healing may be an important part of physical healing• How EMDR, tapping, somatic movement, and community support may help women process trauma• What women should know about vaginal dryness, painful sex, bladder health, incontinence, and pelvic pain• Why you are the CEO of your health and how to build a supportive healthcare team Dr. Anna's message is one every woman needs to hear: Menopause is mandatory. Suffering is optional. Explore Dr. Anna Cabeca's hormone-support, wellness, and intimate-care products at DrAnnaCabeca.com and use code FOODHEALS to save 20%.

In this episode, we welcome back exercise scientist Maria Luque, PhD, to talk about her new book New Moves in Menopause: A Fearless Guide to a Stronger, Healthier, Saner Midlife and the mindset shift it asks of midlife women. Maria explains why she moved beyond traditional “fix your body” fitness narratives to focus on helping women feel better in their bodies through movement and create their own personalized “map” for midlife. She shares how becoming a mother to her daughter Charlie forced her to confront her own body image struggles and led to the “Charlie Test,” a practical filter women can use to reframe negative self-talk and diet culture messages. We explore how to untangle fitness from aesthetics, bring joy and play back into movement, and build a baseline of daily activity that supports real-life adventures, quality of life, and menopause-specific needs.Dr. Maria Luque is a fitness expert, menopause coach, Air Force veteran, former health science professor, and founder of Fitness in Menopause. With a PhD & MS in Health Sciences and over two decades of expertise, she's one of the most credentialed and trusted voices in women's midlife fitness—and the menopause coach to Halle Berry. Her book, New Moves in Menopause – A Fearless Guide to a Stronger, Healthier, & Saner Midlife, offers practical information as well as transformational explorations that help women understand what's happening in their bodies, build mental and physical strength and engage with midlife as a time of freedom, rather than a collection of symptoms.

Cycling is fantastic for cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and getting around—but what happens when it becomes your main form of movement? In this episode, Katy Bowman and Dr. Jeannette Loram explore how cycling shapes the body, from bone health and posture to hip mobility, spinal curves, and pelvic comfort. They discuss why even healthy forms of exercise don't provide every movement nutrient you need, and share practical strategies to help cyclists enjoy the ride while supporting long-term strength, mobility, and resilience.Plus Katy speaks with Tyler Benner, founder of Strong Feet Athletics, about the role of the feet in cycling and what happens when we lock them into rigid compressive cycling shoes for hours at a time. They explore the benefits of a more foot-shaped, flexible cycling shoe and how allowing the feet more freedom may help support lower limb function both on and off the bike.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript0:22 — Dynamic Collective Sponsors2:37 — Introduction to Cycling, the Movement Diet, and the Tissues of the Body5:35 — Bone Density in Cyclists13:36 — Low Energy Availability in Cyclists: Effects on Hormones and Bones17:36 — How Your Body Can Become Semi-Fixed in a Cycling Shape20:04 — Hyperkyphosis and Cervical Issues25:19 — Pelvic Position and Compression30:47 — Practical Ways to Balance Cycling33:22 — Interview with Tyler Benner: The Creator of the First Foot-Shaped Cycling Shoe56:10 — Listener Question: What Kind of Pillow Should You Sleep On?

Hi everyone—thanks for tuning in.  In this replay of a short solo episode of AGE BETTER, I'm doing something a little different: I'm turning the mic around and asking you to help shape what comes next.  Menopause is finally getting the attention it deserves—and that's a very good thing. But for those of us in our 60s and beyond, I keep wondering: What happens after menopause?  Because the conversation often seems to stop right when many of us are asking some of the most important questions of our lives.  Our bodies are changing. Our priorities are changing. Our relationships, work, purpose, energy, confidence, and health concerns may all be shifting. And yet women in this chapter are too often ignored or left out of the conversation.  I don't want that. And I know you don't either.  As I map out future episodes of AGE BETTER, new video content, live conversations, and the work I'm doing on my next book, I want to hear directly from you.  In this episode, I'm asking:  What are you navigating right now in your 60s and beyond?  What do you want to know more about—physically, emotionally, spiritually?  What is keeping you up at night?  What topics do you wish experts would talk about more honestly?  Do you want shorter tips, deeper conversations, more video, more audio, or live Q&As?  Your voice matters. Your questions matter. And your answers will help shape the next chapter of AGE BETTER.  Email me at agebetterpodcast@gmail.com or reach out on social media.  We are not done. We are not invisible. And the conversation is just getting started. 

Fertility after 40 is often framed through statistics, warnings, and the relentless metaphor of the biological clock. For many women, particularly those trying to conceive later in life, those numbers can feel confronting, frightening, and overwhelming. Modern life adds its own pressures; the emotional weight of navigating fertility, the confusion around what truly supports reproductive health, and the growing awareness that that reproductive health is shaped by far more than age alone. Beneath the headlines lies a deeper, more human question: how can people support both their physical health and their mental wellbeing while trying to build a family later in life? In this episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby Sanderson explores that question with someone who has lived it, studied it, and now guides clients through it. Rebecca Rumsey is a Functional Fertility Expert and the founder of Fertile After 40, where she helps individuals over 40 navigate complex fertility challenges through a science‑based, holistic approach. After being told at 41 that she was in early menopause and that her chances of conceiving with her own eggs were extremely low, she went on to naturally conceive and have two healthy children at 44 and 46. With more than 20 years of experience in health and wellness, and advanced training in nutrition, fertility, and exercise science, Rebecca brings both lived experience and deep expertise to this conversation. Together, Gabby and Rebecca explore the many ways fertility can be supported and optimised later in life, from targeted supplementation and toxin elimination to nutrition, stress reduction, and lifestyle changes that meaningfully influence hormonal balance and reproductive health. Rebecca explains how women and men can identify the factors that may be influencing their fertility and create personalised, evidence‑based plans that support their bodies rather than overwhelm them. Gabby also discusses with Rebecca the mental load of trying to conceive after 40, the emotional toll of uncertainty, and why feeling informed is often the antidote to fear. The conversation also looks at the fertility industry itself, including why some clinics may be structured to optimize for profit rather than success, and how this shapes the experiences of women seeking support - like it did for Gabby during her egg freezing journey. Rebecca offers clear, compassionate guidance for anyone trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF, emphasising the importance of understanding your body, your options, and your emotional wellbeing. From practical tools to inspiring personal insight, this episode reframes fertility after 40 with nuance, hope, and science‑backed clarity. It's an invitation to move beyond fear based narratives and toward informed, empowered decision making - reminding listeners that statistics are not destiny, and that wellbeing is a powerful part of the fertility journey.

Welcome to Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health! The Go-To Holistic Health Podcast for Christian Women Seeking to Boost Their Energy and Overall Well-Being! Blubrry Nominated as a Favorite Woman Podcaster! Ranked in the Best 15 Christian Health Podcasts! Have you ever wondered, “Why am I so tired all the time?” Do you wake up exhausted—even after a full night of sleep? Are you relying on caffeine to get through your day, struggling with brain fog, or wondering why your energy isn't what it used to be? For many women in their 40s and 50s, fatigue can feel like an unavoidable part of aging. But what if your exhaustion is not simply about getting older? What if your body is communicating something deeper about your hormones, inflammation, blood sugar balance, stress levels, sleep, or lifestyle? In this episode of Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health, Dr. Rekishia McMillan explores the many reasons women experience fatigue during perimenopause and menopause while uncovering the connection between hormones, cellular energy, inflammation, and healthy aging. As part of the God's Medicine Cabinet™ series, Dr. Rekishia highlights one of Scripture's most treasured gifts—olive oil, often referred to as “God's Liquid Gold.” Throughout biblical history, olive oil represented abundance, healing, strength, and God's provision. Today, modern research continues to explore the benefits of extra-virgin olive oil and its powerful plant compounds, including oleocanthal, which has been studied for its relationship with healthy inflammatory pathways. This episode is a reminder that fatigue is not something to simply accept as “normal.” Your body was created with incredible wisdom, and understanding what it needs is an important part of faithful stewardship. If you have been feeling exhausted, experiencing brain fog, struggling with hormonal changes, or wondering how to restore your energy naturally, this conversation will encourage you with biblical wisdom, science-based wellness strategies, and practical steps you can begin today.   In this episode you'll learn: Why fatigue is so common during perimenopause and menopause How changing hormones can impact sleep, mood, brain function, inflammation, and energy What oleocanthal is and why researchers are studying its role in wellness The connection between the Mediterranean lifestyle and healthy aging Why healthy fats are essential for hormone health, brain function, and sustained energy How creating “Sabbath moments” can support physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration Practical wellness habits to help you nourish your body and honor God's design Join Dr. Rekishia for the launch of her brand-new summer live podcast series God's Medicine Cabinet™ and The Women's Hormone Workshop: Sign up on Eventbrite Start Your 5-Minute Wellness Check.

In Part 2 of this mini series on Collagen Loss, Dr. Mary Alice Mina moves from biology to action: the exact morning and evening skincare routine that makes sense for post-menopausal skin, which ingredients actually have evidence behind them, and which in-office treatments are worth the money. She walks through why a routine built for oily 20-something skin works against you later, then breaks down a simple AM routine (gentle cleanse, antioxidant/vitamin C serum, moisturizer, sunscreen) and PM routine (cleanse, retinol/retinoid as the cornerstone anti-aging ingredient, moisturizer), plus how to exfoliate without damaging the skin barrier. She then ranks in-office options — red light therapy, IPL, microneedling, neurotoxins, resurfacing lasers, chemical peels, and skin-tightening devices — explaining who each is right for and when surgery becomes the better conversation. The message throughout: it doesn't need to be complicated or expensive, just consistent and matched to where your skin actually is.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency--The “Aging” Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses vitamin B12 deficiency as a common problem that can mimic normal aging, noting adults need only about two micrograms daily to support red blood cells, nerves, and DNA. She reviews the history of liver treatment for pernicious anemia and explains that deficiency remains common in older adults, vegans/vegetarians, and people with impaired absorption due to low stomach acid, autoimmune gastritis, weight loss surgery, or medications such as metformin and proton pump inhibitors. Symptoms can develop slowly and include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, numbness/tingling, poor balance, memory issues, and brain fog; she advises medical evaluation and B12 testing rather than assuming aging or relying on wellness-clinic injections when levels are normal. She emphasizes B12 is primarily in animal foods, so vegans need supplements, and notes broader nutrient shortfalls she sees in vegan clients.

The Truth About Fasting: Why fasting and time-restricted eating aren't magical fat-loss hacks, but simply behavioral tools to help you manage hunger and stay in a calorie deficit.

They don't hand you energy; they're the crew that turns the food you're already eating into energy your body can burn.

What does your gut have to do with your hormones, mood, weight, and menopause symptoms? Potentially more than you realize. In this episode of Confessions of a Male Gynecologist, Dr. Shawn Tassone sits down with Cynthia Thurlow, NP, to explore the complex relationship between gut health, hormonal changes, nutrition, and weight management during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Cynthia shares how a personal health crisis changed the direction of her work and led her to take a deeper look at the gut microbiome. Together, she and Dr. Tassone discuss why digestive symptoms often change during midlife, how chronic stress can disrupt the gut, and why weight-loss resistance is rarely caused by one single issue. They also address some of the most common nutrition mistakes women make, including under-eating protein, relying heavily on processed foods, consuming more carbohydrates than their bodies tolerate well, and overlooking the impact of alcohol on sleep, metabolism, and weight-loss goals. You'll also hear their perspectives on restrictive diets, gut testing, supplements, fermented foods, plant diversity, and the importance of choosing high-quality dietary fats. This conversation is not about following another rigid wellness protocol. It is about understanding how your gut, hormones, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle work together—and making informed choices that support your health during midlife. In this episode, you'll learn: Why gut health can change during perimenopause and menopause How the gut microbiome may influence hormones, mood, and digestion Why chronic stress can affect both digestive and metabolic health The many factors that can contribute to weight-loss resistance Why women need adequate protein to preserve muscle as they age How alcohol can interfere with sleep, metabolism, and weight management Why processed foods can make overeating easier The potential limitations of highly restrictive diets, including carnivore diets How gastrointestinal testing may uncover concerns such as H. pylori Why supplements should be selected based on individual needs The benefits of adding fermented foods to your diet Why Cynthia recommends aiming for 30 different plant varieties each week What to consider when purchasing olive oil How women can feel more empowered, not restricted, by their nutrition choices Gut symptoms, hormonal changes, and weight concerns should not automatically be dismissed as an unavoidable part of aging. By looking at the full picture, women can better understand what their bodies need and make more sustainable decisions for their long-term health.

At 59 years old, Halle Berry is stepping into her most authentic chapter yet, and she's not asking for permission. In this candid conversation with Hoda Kotb on Making Space, the Oscar-winning actress and director pulls back the curtain on the "invisible" stage of aging, the realities of menopause, and why she is done managing everyone else's expectations. Halle opens up about her passion project, and why she's fighting to destigmatize women's health in a society that often overlooks women once they turn 50. She also gets candid about her partnership with Joylux and her new product, "Juicy Like a Peach," sharing how this innovation helped her reclaim her sex life and why she believes it's time to stop shying away from important conversations about pleasure.

What has been the cost to women of relying on research that was never designed around female physiology?Dr. Stacy Sims is an exercise physiologist, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author of ROAR, which challenged the idea that women should train and fuel like men, and Next Level, which focuses on health, performance, and physiology through perimenopause and menopause. Over two decades of research, she has become one of the leading voices reshaping how we understand women's health, with a message that has become synonymous with her work: women are not small men. That line started as a throwaway teaching point during her postdoc at Stanford, and it has since become a paradigm shift.At the center of this conversation is a quiet, costly problem. For decades, much of the science on training, nutrition, and medicine was built on male bodies and then applied to women as if they were simply smaller versions of men. Stacy walks through what that gap has cost, why the literature thins out for women between the ages of thirty and fifty, and how a hormone fluctuation can get mistaken for a panic attack, leading to solutions that were never going to fully work.Stacy and Mike then move into what to actually do about it. They get into why "eat less, train more" often backfires and drives the body into a low energy state, why fasting through the morning for women can dysregulate appetite and stress hormones, and why lifting heavier loads may protect not just muscle and bone but the aging brain. They also draw the line that runs through the whole conversation, the symptoms of perimenopause are the physiology, not the person, and explore why this episode isn't just for the women in the community. Stacy explains why having men in the conversation helps drive action, what partners can actually do... listen first rather than rush to fix... and why the rising noise around menopause online, along with AI tools built on outdated male data, makes clear thinking here more valuable than ever.In this conversation, we explore:Why so much health and performance research was never actually done on womenWhat "women are not small men" really means in training and nutritionWhy "eat less, train more" often backfires for women through midlifeWhy fasting through the morning can dysregulate appetite and stress hormonesHow lifting heavier loads may help protect the aging brainWhy men belong in this conversation, and how to show up for the women in their livesWhy most AI health tools still run on outdated male dataWhether this conversation is about your body or the body of someone you love, it offers a science-backed way to understand what's happening and what to do next.Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our YouTube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XDr. Stacy Sims' Books: ROAR and Next LevelSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Could you have PCOS and not know it? You sure can, says reproductive endocrinologist and menopause specialist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, who is hopeful that the recent renaming of the condition from “polycystic ovary syndrome” (PCOS) to “polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome” (PMOS) will help raise awareness—and improve care. This episode breaks down what PMOS actually is, why the new name matters, and how this androgen‑driven metabolic condition shows up across the lifespan, from irregular cycles and fertility struggles to increased cardiometabolic risk, especially once you hit the menopause transition. We also cover treatment options including metformin, inositol, and compelling new research on GLP‑1 receptor agonists, plus what all of this means for active midlife women when it comes to fueling, Reds/LEA risk, resistance training, and long‑term glucose control.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in women's performance and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Medical Society.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical.

Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical, discusses electrically driven vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a “neuroimmune modulation” approach to autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Chernoff explains the vagus nerve's sensory role in monitoring organs and signaling the brainstem and spleen to regulate immune responses, and how precise stimulation can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines without immunosuppression. Setpoint's miniaturized, wireless, MRI-compatible implant is placed in an outpatient 45-minute neck procedure and delivers one minute of daily stimulation titrated to an upper comfort level; long-term safety is supported by prior surgical experience and a 242-patient blinded RA study with two-year data, leading to FDA approval for rheumatoid arthritis. The discussion covers add-on use with medications, potential steroid tapering, reimbursement, and research in Crohn's disease, relapsing MS (vision and remyelination), and other conditions, including psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and neurodegenerative diseases.

What if one of the biggest reasons you're emotionally eating during menopause has nothing to do with food? In this episode, I share a coaching conversation that uncovered a pattern I see in so many women in menopause. The habit of saying "yes" when your body is desperately asking you to say "no." We often believe we're being loving, helpful, or selfless, but when we repeatedly ignore what we truly want, the emotional discomfort doesn't disappear. It often shows up through overeating instead. I also explain how people-pleasing can quietly fuel emotional eating, why learning to recognize your body's signals is the first step toward change, and how practicing awareness can help you begin honoring yourself without guilt. You don't have to start by making huge changes. Sometimes simply noticing when you want to say no is where everything begins to shift. Enjoy the show!

She saw the anxiety, the loneliness, and the fear that tend to show up right when the world expects you to celebrate. They explore what it means to reclaim your agency, how to gently detox your body after treatment, and why the intuitive knowing inside you is far more powerful than you've been led to believe.Chapters:00:05:42 - The Emotional Cliff After Treatment00:08:49 - Why Ringing the Bell Feels Complicated00:09:52 - Reclaiming Your Role in Healing00:11:13 - Building a Post-Treatment Care Team00:12:31 - Taking the First Step Toward Recovery00:15:09 - The Fast That Changed Her Body00:18:22 - Finding Safer Ways to Fast Postpartum00:20:16 - Turning a Healing Gap Into a Mission00:22:34 - Supporting Skin Through Radiation00:26:20 - Why Breast Care Matters Between Screenings00:30:46 - Reconnecting With Your Body00:32:46 - Reclaiming the 364 Days Between Screenings00:33:14 - Choosing Your Health Non-Negotiables00:34:58 - Understanding the Body's Terrain00:39:14 - Making Health a Lifelong PracticeYou'll hear how Tara rebuilt her health one small step at a time, why fasting became a surprising turning point in her story, and what breast care has to do with reconnecting to your own body.

This episode is a re-airing of a listener-favorite (and for good reason), Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, for a candid look at why weight management during perimenopause and menopause feels like an uphill battle. The truth is, the average woman gains around 22 pounds during the menopause transition—and being told to simply "eat less" completely ignores the physiological storm happening beneath the surface. Sarah breaks down how dropping estrogen levels alter fat distribution, slow metabolism, and increase insulin resistance, making midlife weight gain a biological reality, not a personal failure. The conversation cuts through the myth that hunger is a matter of willpower. Sarah explains that eating is a primal drive controlled by the hypothalamus, and factors like stress, poor sleep, and alcohol can easily override even the most determined frontal lobe. She also highlights the critical importance of maintaining muscle mass during this stage of life to prevent sarcopenia and frailty, emphasizing that adequate protein intake and resistance exercise are non-negotiable—especially for those using weight-loss medications. Sarah shares her personal journey with yo-yo dieting and how discovering a natural approach to appetite modulation has transformed her relationship with food. She offers an encouraging perspective that post-menopause can be a time of renewed peace and vitality, sharing that she is now the same size she was at 25. Listeners will walk away with practical strategies, a deeper understanding of their changing bodies, and genuine hope that the other side of menopause is not only manageable but truly liberating. Tune in to learn why hunger is not your enemy and how to work with your biology rather than against it.

Why is your dog carrying extra weight even though nothing about mealtime has changed? On the human side: does Ozempic actually rewire your brain's reward system, not just your appetite? Emerging research says GLP-1 drugs quiet the same dopamine pathway that drives cravings for food, alcohol, and drugs which raises a wild question we're tackling this season: could a diabetes drug end up treating addiction? We're also digging into whether "Ozempic personality changes" are real, why weight-loss drugs hit women differently at midlife, and what nobody's telling you about pet supplements.Got a question?
