We're told stress (looking at you cortisol) is the enemy in midlife—but that's too simple. In the right dose (and with real recovery), stress is good medicine that builds resilience and makes us stronger, in sport, at work, and in life. In this episode, we dive into the “stress that helps” with Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist—physician, researcher, and author of The Stress Paradox. We break down hormesis (the just-enough stress plus recovery cycle), how the right doses of stress in the form of training, plant phytochemicals, hot/cold exposure, and smart time-restricted eating activates cellular defense pathways that ultimately rebuild us to be stronger right down to our DNA. We also dive into how to stack stressors without tipping into overload, which is key for active midlife women, so we can live longer, healthier, and happier lives.Sharon Bergquist, MD, is a board-certified physician, researcher, and pioneer in lifestyle medicine. She has led $61M in clinical trials on lifestyle interventions and early biomarkers of chronic disease. Her book, The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier (HarperCollins, Mar 2025), unpacks how daily habits activate the body's regenerative systems. An Emory University faculty physician since 2000, she earned a B.S. in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale, an M.D. from Harvard, and trained in internal medicine at Brigham & Women's. Her TED-Ed lesson has 8M+ views, and she's been featured by Good Morning America, CNN, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, and NPR.

In this episode of The Confidently Balance Your Hormones Podcast, host Dee Davidson, Board Certified Functional Health Practitioner, sits down with Noreen Connolly, PhD, NP, founder of The IV Hub Wellness Franchise, to demystify Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) — one of today's most talked-about approaches to hormone balance.Together, Dee and Noreen break down:What BHRT actually is — and how it differs from traditional hormone therapyWho makes a good candidate for BHRTThe most common fears and misconceptions around hormone replacementHow BHRT can support energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and longevityWhy addressing the root cause and full-body balance is key before and during BHRTIf you've ever wondered whether hormone therapy might be right for you—or you simply want to understand how to naturally support your hormonal health—this conversation is a must-listen.

Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause—or supporting someone who is—this episode is full of gentle truths and nourishing permission to live this season with intention, softness, and spaciousness. Dr. Susan Baumgaertel is a profoundly thoughtful and creative physician who passionately reframes menopause around nourishment, pleasure, and presence at its center. With decades of experience in internal medicine and a unique blend of architectural and artistic insight, Susan offers a menu of supportive, holistic, and empowering approaches for midlife and beyond. Susan shares her own personal and professional pivots, the birth of her book The Menopause Menu, and how she is using her voice and wisdom to help women navigate midlife on their own terms—without overwhelm, shame, or shoulds. Pearls of Wisdom: Menopause can be a time of pleasure, choice, and curiosity—not just a list of things to fix. Think of it as a nourishing multi-course "menu", not a checklist. Small, thoughtful shifts what Susan calls “micro-pivots” and can lead to meaningful transformation. You don't have to throw it all out to create a new path. Rather than immediately reaching for a solution, take time to pause, reflect, and listen to your body. Sustainable nourishment comes from alignment, not urgency. Food, body image, and health can all be approached with compassion and joy. Sugar can be healing. A walk can be creative. Your body can be art. The system may be broken, but your experience doesn't have to be. Personal time, presence, and honest conversations with yourself can make a profound difference. Reflection Questions: What would love do for you in menopause? What's on your personal “menopause menu”? What are you choosing to nourish yourself with? How might you meet yourself with more grace and curiosity in this phase of life? What story are you telling about your body, and what would it feel like to tell a more generous one? If you're seeking deeper support during your own transition into midlife or menopause. I invite you to join me for 1:1 coaching, where you can rediscover ease, purpose, and peace in this next phase of life: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching Or nourish yourself at a restorative, plant-forward retreat with me and like-minded women physicians: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you're interested in inviting me or Dr. Susan Bange to speak or lead a workshop for your team, conference, or institution, reach out here: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking You can find Susan and her work including her book, "The Menopause Menu", and her new conversation series “Voices with Vigor” at www.menopausemenu.com. Her refreshing and wise perspective offers a breath of fresh air in today's noisy menopause space.   More about Dr. Susan Baumgaertel She began her internal medicine practice in 1996, encompassing a wide range of clinical work over the years. In 2021, she stepped away from direct patient care to expand her impact through myMDadvocate, a virtual consultation and advocacy service that serves as a bridge between patients and the often-complex healthcare system. As a physician consultant, healthcare navigator, and medical advocate, she helps people navigate a range of issues, from referral advocacy and chronic condition management to aging gracefully and supporting caregivers through their most challenging moments. Her passion for helping women through life transitions led to the creation of MenopauseMenu, a comprehensive online resource offering evidence-based information and holistic support. This work formed the foundation for her 2023 book, “The Menopause Menu”—an all-in-one guide that transforms medical complexity into accessible wisdom. She has just launched a talk show, Voices With Vigor, showcasing guests from diverse backgrounds who share common threads of curiosity, kindness, dedication, and resilience.  Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.

Hey Outlouders! For this week's Sunday special, we're dropping an episode of our sister podcast Well into your feed - because we know you'll love this conversation as much as we do. We're talking all things peri and menopause. Does your endometriosis put you at a higher risk of early menopause? Did a pig castrator really perform the first-ever C-section? And if you've had a hysterectomy, do you still need to see a gynaecologist? On this episode of Well Claire Murphy chats to Professor Susan Davis, a founder of Jean Hailes for Women's Health and past president of the Australasian Menopause Society, to find out what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to the science of perimenopause. They unravel common myths, including “disappearing labia” and talk about why some things you're being sold on social media - like weighted vests and special supplements - may not be as miraculous as they might seem. Plus, talk about the latest research on delaying the onset of menopause and why it might not be a good idea for everybody. THE END BITS All your health information is in the Well Hub.

Are you in perimenopause or post-menopause and dealing with recurrent infections, wondering why now? Why am I having bladder infections or vaginal infections when maybe I haven't had them any other time in my life, or not since many decades ago? I'm Dr. Doni Wilson. I'm a women's health expert, a naturopathic doctor and midwife, and I've been helping women with their health, including their vaginal and urinary health, for over 25 years. This is what I think about and help patients with every day, and I'm so glad that you're here listening in for this information. Maybe you've been searching for answers about why this is happening to you now, at this point in your life. Maybe your doctor isn't giving you answers—they may be prescribing more and more antibiotics for bacterial infections or antifungals for yeast infections without addressing the underlying cause. Or, if it's the case of high-risk HPV virus, they're just telling you there's nothing they can do and to come back and see if there are abnormal cells developing. I know because I'm trained as a primary care provider. I was trained the same way, and I understand that that's what the standard of care is offering right now. I also know, as an alternative or functional medicine practitioner for a couple of decades, that there ARE other options. Let's discuss in today's episode.  I'm here to help you!

Is perimenopause really starting earlier than we thought? What's the truth about HRT and breast cancer risk? And does childhood trauma show up harder in menopause?

Sind das einfach unglückliche Körperproportionen, oder ist es eine behandlungswürdige, schmerzhafte Erkrankung? Das Lipödem – eine krankhafte Fettgewebsvermehrung an den Beinen und manchmal auch den Armen – wird oft nicht erkannt oder mit Übergewicht verwechselt, aber auch schlanke Frauen können betroffen sein. Dabei muss man es anders behandeln als viele Kilos etwa am Bauch, es bringt andere Risiken mit sich und es kommt auch zu anderen Zeitpunkten im Leben, nämlich vor allem dann, wenn die Hormone im Ungleichgewicht sind. Diana im Gespräch mit der Allgemeinärztin, Gefäßspezialistin und Ernährungsmedizinerin Dr. Gabriele Faerber über Östradiol, Progesteron und dicke Beine, den Grund, warum das Lipödem auch nach der letzten Blutung noch kommen kann und die schwierige Abgrenzung zu anderen Diagnosen.INFOS ZUR FOLGE:Hier geht es zu Dr. Gabriele Faerber im Internet.Hier geht es zu ihrem Vortrag über Ernährung bei Lipödem und Lymphödem (leider schlechte Qualität).Hier geht es zur Lymphselbsthilfe e.V.Hier geht es zur Lipödemhilfe Deutschland e.V.Hier geht es zur Website der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Phlebologie und Lymphologie mit aktuellen Infos für Patientinnen und einer Arztsuche.

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Leslie Kenny, CEO and patient advocate based in Oxford, about reversing autoimmune symptoms, supporting healthy aging, and easing perimenopause and menopause with food-first strategies. Leslie shares how she went from multiple autoimmune diagnoses and a grim prognosis to conceiving naturally at 43 and achieving a biological age of 21 at 59, through lifestyle changes, nutrition, and a science-backed compound called spermidine.Topics Covered:Autoimmune to thriving: Leslie's simple steps to lower inflammation, support immunity, and rebuild health.Spermidine, a natural compound that triggers cell cleanup (autophagy) and acts like a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for healthy aging.Food-first sources you can use now: nato (fermented soy), shiitake/oyster mushrooms, legumes, peas, and long-fermented cheeses like British cheddar.Menopause-specific wins: better sleep, hair and skin changes, nail strength, and support for hormonal balance.How spermidine reverses 8 of the 12 “aging levers”.New studies suggest that spermidine plays a role in immune rejuvenation and anti-tumor surveillance. Plus a Canadian study showing shifts in estradiol, cortisol, DHEA, and pregnenolone.Links:Primedene with Morphus20 to receive 20% off your orderSpermidine potentiates anti-tumor immune responses and immunotherapy sensitivity in breast cancerSend us a text ✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh

Menopause isn't just about hot flashes or mood swings.  it can change your sex life in ways nobody warned you about. In this episode, I break the silence around vaginal dryness, low libido, and the emotional toll it takes on confidence and relationships.  I unpack why it happens, what it really means for your body, and the solutions that actually help.  If you've felt alone or ashamed about these changes, this conversation will remind you… You are not broken, and you are not alone.

October is Menopause Awareness Month, and this year's theme is Lifestyle Medicine — a subject that's right at the heart of my work as a nutritionist. In this solo episode of The Happy Menopause, I'll be exploring how simple, sustainable changes in the way we eat, move, sleep, and manage stress can transform your menopause experience.We'll look at the six key pillars of lifestyle medicine — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, healthy relationships, and avoiding harmful substances — and how they apply specifically to perimenopause and postmenopause. From the power of protein for energy, muscle and mood, to the benefits of leafy greens, vitamin C, and phytoestrogens, I'll share practical diet tips that can ease symptoms such as hot flushes, brain fog, low mood, weight gain, and poor sleep.But lifestyle medicine is about more than food. We'll also explore the role of exercise for bone health, cardiovascular fitness and hormone balance, why stress management is so crucial for symptom control, and the sleep strategies that can help you finally get some rest. These small steps don't replace medical treatments, but they work beautifully alongside them, helping you to address the root causes of symptoms and protect your long-term health.Whether you're just starting your perimenopause journey, navigating postmenopause, or supporting someone you love, this episode is packed with evidence-based advice to help you feel stronger, more resilient and more in control.If you love The Happy Menopause, please tell your friends and family, and don't forget to hit follow or subscribe on your favourite podcast platform.

In this episode of The Neuro Experience, I sit down with Dr. Kellyann Niotis—one of the first fellowship-trained preventive neurologists—to reveal how you can protect your brain long before symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia appear. With Alzheimer's cases expected to triple by 2050, Dr. Niotis explains the difference between dementia types, the real role of genes like ApoE4, and why lifestyle choices may be more powerful than genetics. If you want actionable tools to lower your risk, strengthen your memory, and understand the future of preventive neurology, this conversation delivers science-backed strategies you can start applying today. About Dr. Kellyann Niotis: Dr. Kellyann Niotis is the first fellowship-trained preventive neurologist focused on reducing risk for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Lewy Body Dementia.
