If you've ever felt like you're riding a menstrual cycle roller coaster of cravings, exhaustion, and mood swings– this conversation is for you.  In this episode, I'm joined by leading researcher and women's hormone expert Dr. Sarah E. Hill to unpack what's really going on in your body—and your brain—during your cycle.  Dr. Hill breaks down how shifting levels of progesterone and estrogen in the second half of your cycle can impact everything from your sleep and appetite to your mood and libido.  We also talk about how this becomes even more complex—and important to understand—during perimenopause, when hormone patterns start to change unpredictably.  You'll learn why traditional health advice often fails women during this phase of life, and what to do instead to actually support your body.  It's time to rethink your period, reclaim your energy, and finally feel in sync with your hormones! Dr. Sarah Hill Dr. Sarah E. Hill is a researcher and professor at TCU, lead science advisor for 28, and the author of The Period Brain and This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. Sarah's work has resulted in more than 80 research publications, with features in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, The Economist, and on shows like Good Morning and Today. Sarah is a well-known speaker, consultant, and media expert in women's health, hormones, and sexual psychology. IN THIS EPISODE Understanding our hormone changes over the course of a cycle  Why cycle symptoms can be different during perimenopause  How past trauma impacts PMS and your stress response  What's really happening with your hormone levels in your cycle Managing your stress response system to feel safe in your body  The negative impacts stress has on your reproductive system The critical connection between your brain and sex hormones  About Dr. Sarah Hill's newest Book: The Period Brain  QUOTES “The week– or for some women, it's even the full two weeks– of the luteal phase can be a really challenging time emotionally as their body is struggling to keep up with those wild swings and hormones. But then also as you go into perimenopause, you're going through a period of intense hormonal change, and unlike what goes on across a regular cycle, it's unpredictable.” “Women are twice as likely as men to have mental health-related illnesses. They're more than twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with anxiety. They're more likely to experience burnout in the workplace. I mean, the list goes on, and it's because there's way too much that's expected of us. And one thing that women don't recognize about it is that in addition to this being bad for things like cardiovascular health… it can also prevent you from even producing sex hormones.” “A big part of The Period Brain is first, just really giving women a roadmap to the second half of their cycle, since it's not something that's really talked about.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your first Troscriptions order http://troscriptions.com/ENERGIZED Order Dr. Sarah Hill's Book: The Period Brain Dr. Sarah Hill's Website Dr. Hill's Instagram Dr. Hill's Facebook RELATED EPISODES  686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause  #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #622: How to Feel Prepared for the Massive Hormone Shifts in Midlife with Dr. Taz Bhatia #510: Need to Calm The Estrogen Drama Causing Period Problems?

Hi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and in today's episode, I'm looking forward to introducing you to Nagina Abdullah. She's a weight loss coach for women in midlife and founder of the website MasalaBody.com. She helps women improve and boost their metabolism naturally. This is important because so many women have questions around metabolism and body weight, especially in midlife. I first met Nagina in a hot tub at a conference. It was like friends at first sight. We discovered that we both have backgrounds in science. I studied science for my bachelor's degree as well, so I totally get her background of studying cell biology and biochemistry. She took that science background and found ways to translate the science of the body to help women with their weight and metabolism. I'm so grateful for Nagina sharing all this with us as a starting point so you can start experimenting with these tips. We know there are so many reasons to be at a healthy weight. Part is how we feel, but at a healthier weight, we're preventing other health issues. We'll prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. It's a lifestyle of eating in a way that helps us feel good in our body today and in our clothes but also helps our health going forward. We're here to help you!

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.

Imagine juggling full-time teaching, full-time parenting, and a five-year-long divorce. Exhausting doesn't even begin to cover it.  That was Vikki's reality until she realized one thing: no one was coming to change her life for her. If she wanted something different, she'd have to create it. On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Vikki was suuuuper generous with sharing her story and how she went from burnout to building an entire new career. Vikki has not only doubled her income, she's also working less hours. Normally I'd totally get if you were like, “Nicki, spoiler alert!” But the magic is in the way she got to this point. Vikki is sharing all her best tips (Kate and I walked away with some new ones!), including how she kept moving forward, even when the big picture felt overwhelming. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode Victoria Burton Copywriting LinkedInEarning More As a Freelancer than On Staff – Catching Up With StuartAston UniversityHow to Elevate Your Profile & Land Copywriting Clients on LinkedIn Related Links Teacher Burnout, Guilt, and Getting Into a New ProfessionThis Teacher Now Leads a Team of Copywriters – Catching Up with Charlotte --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here

In this heartfelt conversation, she opens up about her personal turning point, what surrender really means, and how unprocessed emotions manifest as physical symptoms.Together, we explore:How ancient healing practices bring relief, modern medicine often overlooksThe connection between “undigested emotions” and physical illnessHow neuroplasticity and NLP can reprogram limiting beliefsThe sacred art of surrender and divine guidanceThe power of inner child work, journaling, and self-compassionHow to move from burnout and self-doubt to spiritual embodiment and freedomChapters00:00 Introduction to Healing and Transformation11:36 The Journey from Corporate to Healing27:18 Understanding the Body's Emotional Connection30:03 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing33:48 Understanding Triggers and Unhealed Emotions38:41 Parenting and Breaking Generational Patterns43:40 The Role of Yoga and Breathwork in Healing46:17 Finding Purpose Beyond Corporate Success52:02 Embracing Your Worth and Taking ActionJennifer reminds us that healing isn't a destination — it's a sacred remembering.

If “balance your hormones” feels like a wellness buzzword, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Tara and Elizabeth sit down with Gregory Dodell, MD—board-certified endocrinologist, owner of Central Park Endocrinology, and the brain behind Everything Endocrine on Instagram—to unpack hormones without diet culture.    Dr. Dodell shares his evolution to weight-neutral, stigma-free care, explains what hormones actually are, and gives clear, practical guidance for PCOS, thyroid health, cortisol, and when GLP-1 medications make sense.    We also cover the lab tests worth asking for, why strength training matters, GLP-1s, and how to navigate the “just lose weight” directive so many patients still hear. Consider this your evidence-informed, compassion-first hormone primer.   In this episode: Dr. Dodell's shift from weight-centric training to weight-inclusive care Hormones 101: pituitary → thyroid feedback loops, cortisol basics PCOS made simple: insulin resistance as the foundation “Balance your hormones” claims—what helps and what's hype Lab panels to discuss with your provider (and how often) GLP-1 meds: when they help, red flags, and the importance of monitoring + muscle How to respond when a provider says “just lose weight”   Connect with Dr. Dodell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everything_endocrine/ Website: https://www.centralparkendocrinology.com/   Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

#176 - Think Midlife Means Sex Is Doomed? Think Again. Dryness, Low Desire, Awkward Silence? Let's Fix Midlife Sex. What if we stopped whispering about midlife sexual health and started talking about it like the real, fixable, medical issue that it is? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles—internationally recognized OB/GYN, menopause expert, TEDx speaker, and founder of Women's Healthcare of Princeton—to talk about the truth behind midlife vaginal changes, why libido shifts aren't your fault, and how hormone therapy and non-hormonal treatments can actually help you feel like yourself again (yes, especially down there). We cover: Why vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, and painful sex are incredibly common—and completely fixable (whew!) The difference between vaginal estrogen for dryness and systemic hormone replacement (and why most women are scared of the wrong one) Four clinically proven ways to rebuild vaginal tissue—and when to consider each How to advocate for yourself when your provider dismisses your concerns The overlooked connection between estrogen, your brain, and your libido And yes… the wild stat about people checking their phones during sex. Wait, what?!

Send us a textAre you tired of feeling like you're navigating menopause or perimenopause alone, armed only with contradictory advice and sensationalized headlines? Dr. Holly Thacker, Director of the Center for Specialized Women's Health at Cleveland Clinic, is here to change that. In honor of October being World Menopause Month, we are replaying this first episode of Dr. Thacker's podcast series based on her book, "The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Menopause." In Chapter 1, Choosing and Seeing a Doctor at Midlife, Dr. Thacker addresses a fundamental truth often overlooked in women's healthcare: there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. What works perfectly for your neighbor might be completely wrong for you. This personalized approach extends to finding the right healthcare clinician who understands that women's health concerns are rarely black and white. She offers practical guidance on identifying red flags in healthcare interactions and selecting a physician who specializes in midlife women's health.Ready to reclaim control of your midlife health journey? Join Dr. Thacker throughout World Menopause Month as she continues this series with more episodes on menopause. Remember—it's your body, your hormones, and your choices.Support the show

Today I'm sharing a powerful conversation from The Period Whisperer podcast with host Bria Gadd. We talk about the hidden link between hormones, stress, and drinking—why so many high-achieving women end up using alcohol as a coping mechanism. You'll hear the truth about emotional sobriety, how the toxic cultural pressure to be “productive” leads to inevitable breakdown in midlife, and why you don't actually lose control of your drinking—you lose control of your thinking. If you use alcohol to quiet your mind or reward yourself for another exhausting day, this episode will shift your diagnosis of the problem so you can start working towards a solution that doesn't require you to stop drinking completely. Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking.

In this episode of Asking for a Friend, certified sexologist Dr. Diane Mueller joins host Michele Folan to unpack what really happens to libido, intimacy, and connection as hormones shift, stress piles up, and long-term relationships get comfortable.We explore the science of midlife desire, from how oxytocin calms cortisol and improves sleep to how vibration therapy and pelvic floor health can ease pain and increase pleasure. You'll learn the difference between “wanting to want” and true arousal, how testosterone fits into the libido puzzle, and why body image and tissue health deserve as much attention as hormones.Dr. Mueller introduces her concept of “erotic repair”—a framework that moves intimacy beyond penetration and toward curiosity, communication, and play. Together, we tackle mismatched desire, dopamine boredom, and the single most important habit separating happy couples from disconnected ones: talking specifically about what feels good.Expect evidence-based tools and real-world scripts you can try tonight—like the Yes/No/Maybe exercise that makes awkward conversations easier. Whether you're navigating menopause, rebuilding intimacy after stress, or simply craving more connection, this episode delivers honest, science-backed guidance with zero fluff. Dr. Dian Mueller's book: https://WantToWantIt.comFree Libido Quiz to get to the root causes of low libido: https://LibidoQuiz.comFree - Yes, No, Maybe Checklist to bring in novelty: https://MySexDoc.comRecommended Lubes and products: https://MyLibidoDoc.com/Products IG: https://instagram.com/myromancedoc_________________________________________

Have you been wondering…Is this a midlife crisis?Nope. It's not. Not even close.In this episode, Laurie Reynoldson is blowing up the outdated narrative that midlife has to be a downward spiral. If you've found yourself waking up, feeling like something's off—or like the life you've built doesn't quite fit anymore—it's not a crisis. It's a damn awakening.We're diving deep into what's actually going on for high-achieving midlife women: the identity shifts, the whispers of “more,” the restlessness that isn't fixed by a new job, new car, or a few downward dogs.And instead of burning it all down, this episode explores what it looks like to tune in, take inventory, and get honest about the life you want—starting now.Because midlife isn't falling apart. It's coming back to yourself.In this episode, you'll hear:Why what you're feeling isn't a crisis—it's a calling.The real reason external success isn't cutting it anymore.The hidden costs of staying stuck in autopilot.What it means to stop waiting for permission and reclaim your power.A powerful reframing of midlife as a beginning—not an ending.

In this live Coaching episode, Lori sits down with long-time friend and EFT practitioner Cyrus Bush for a laser-focused coaching session. Cyrus, a retired hospital chaplain turned mindset coach, has been helping people release limiting beliefs and negative self-talk through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) since 2018. But like so many midlife entrepreneurs, he's navigating the challenges of showing up online, staying consistent, and quieting the inner voice of “not good enough.” Join us as Lori helps Cyrus reframe his approach to business growth - without the hustle-and-grind mentality that doesn't fit in midlife. This session is full of actionable insights that apply to any entrepreneur wrestling with visibility, confidence, and finding the right balance between business and lifestyle. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why every business owner - even the big names - wrestles with self-doubt, and how to move past it. The importance of clear calls to action so people know how to work with you. A simple way to build consistency online without burning out. How to create content themes that make posting easier and more sustainable. Why repetition in marketing isn't a weakness - it's how people finally start to pay attention. How Cyrus can position EFT as both a science-based and energetic practice to stand out online. This is a behind-the-scenes peek at the kind of coaching Lori offers midlife entrepreneurs - blending strategy, mindset, and practical marketing to help you build a business that fits your life, not the other way around.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're talking about the real stuff women face in midlife when it comes to health and fitness - the perfectionism that keeps you stuck, feeling like everyone's watching you at the gym, managing stress without burning out, and what to do when your partner just doesn't seem to support your goals. If you've ever felt like you have to “do it all” or that you're failing if it's not perfect, this one's for you. We're breaking down why perfectionism isn't your personality - it's a learned coping skill and how to finally loosen that grip so you can actually make progress and feel good doing it. In this episode, we dive into: Perfectionism & unrealistic expectations Gym intimidation & building confidence Self-compassion & stress management Partners not on board with your goals Grab your coffee, get comfy, and let's get real about what it actually takes to stay consistent, confident, and sane while working on your goals in midlife. ✨Ready to join us inside the Healthy & Hot Method?

What if the secret to a richer life isn't mastering anything—but dabbling in everything? Author Karen Walrond (In Defense of Dabbling) returns to champion the lost art of amateurism—doing what you love without needing to excel.

From swim class struggles to wonky candle holders, Karen shares why intentional dabbling as we age sparks joy, powers self-compassion, and stretches our comfort zones.

Okay, let's be honest—confidence doesn't always come easy, especially in midlife.Between the career pivots, the body changes, and the whirlwind of life, it's easy to feel like we've somehow lost our spark.But what if confidence isn't something you're either born with or not… what if it's something you can actually build—one intentional step at a time?And what if reinvention isn't just possible at this stage of life—but actually easier because of everything you've already overcome?Today's guest, Karen Fabian, is showing us exactly how to do that—and trust me, you're going to want to take notes.----------Your Website URLFind Karen at her website: barebonesyoga.comOr on TikTok, Instagram or YouTubeGet Karen's 5 Day Confidence Challenge HERE.----------Get our FREE guide to finally fix your metabolism!Losing weight & getting healthy is never easy, but lately you might feel like it's suddenly become impossible.Our Flip the Switch guide will help you clearly understand what's been going on, as well as exactly what you can do to get your metabolism working again so that you can look and feel your best—it's easier and more simple than you think!

Midlife brings so many shifts—children leaving home, aging parents, career changes, identity shifts, and layered on top of it all, grief in its many forms. Sometimes it's the loss of a loved one, and other times it's the ache of realizing life looks different than we imagined.In this episode of Message in the Middle, I'm joined by Jane Dye, a registered nurse, board-certified holistic health coach, and certified grief educator. With more than 30 years of nursing practice, much of it in psychiatric settings, Jane brings a unique perspective to midlife healing. She blends clinical expertise with holistic health, grief education, and spiritual connection to help women navigate transitions with compassion and hope. Together, Jane and I explore: ✨ Why you never get over loss—you learn to build a life around it ✨ Why all loss matters and there is no “grief Olympics” ✨ How grief can keep us looking backward, and what it takes to move forward ✨ How to support someone who is grieving ✨ What not to do when you're trying to support someone through grief If you've ever felt stuck in the in-between or uncertain about how to move through loss and change, this conversation is a reminder that healing is possible, but everyone must do it in their own way and on their own timeline. Connect with Jane: https://janekdye.com Connect with Marianne: Website: Message In The Middle with Marianne Message In the Middle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlists LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966 Email: Contact | Message In The Middle with Marianne Subscribe to Message In the Middle: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Leave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

In today's episode, Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers discus the challenges faced by the sandwich generation, who are responsible for both their children and aging parents. The conversation speaks to the importance of prioritizing financial independence, making informed educational choices, and having open discussions about financial responsibilities within the family. They also highlight the need for balance and intentionality in decision-making to avoid financial strain and resentment, ultimately advocating for a supportive family ecosystem.TakeawaysThis is the juggling stage of life.You have to put it on yourself first.You can't logically expect to have enough money if you start saving late.You can't take care of your children fully and your parents fully.Be intentional about your decisions regarding education.You don't have to fill all the gaps with money; presence matters.You need to prioritize yourself first before others.Resentment can build silently and lead to conflict.Success is different for everyone; define it for yourself.Create a balanced family ecosystem to support each other.Learn more about Prescient Investment Management here.Send us a textHave a question for Warren?

Ever feel like your body is straight-up rebelling? You're eating clean, working out, doing all the “right” things, but the scale won't budge, your moods are a rollercoaster, and you're ready to scream into a pillow every time someone asks, “What's for dinner?” Yep, that's not “just life”, that's stress overload. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm joined by the powerhouse herself, Stephanie Crassweller, to break down what stress really looks like (spoiler: it's not just deadlines and drama). We're unpacking how stress messes with your hormones, metabolism, sleep, cravings, basically everything, and what to actually do about it. We talk about: ·     

Your 30's kitchen did its job—fast, convenient, and forgiving. But when hormones shift, muscle declines, and sleep gets touchy, those old habits can leave you drained. Let's walk through a midlife kitchen upgrade that feels doable: smarter food choices built around protein, fiber, healthy fats, and color; a few high-impact tools that remove friction; and a mindset shift that turns cooking into a creative act of self-care.We start with the why: metabolism slows, digestion gets sensitive, and alcohol and sugar hit harder. From there, we redesign everyday meals without dieting or perfection. Think Greek yogurt and berries with flax for a steady morning, sheet-pan chicken with sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts for an easy dinner, and simple sauces—tahini-lemon, herb pesto, smoky paprika oil—that make vegetables and proteins craveable. We also talk about what to retire (that 25 year old dull knife, the nightly wine just to get through dinner that wrecks sleep) and what to invite in (a sharp chef's knife, two sturdy sheet pans, and a reliable blender or slow cooker to batch, blend, and simplify).The heart of this conversation is mindset. Instead of “What's for dinner again?” we ask, “What do I want to eat this week?” We use seasonal flavors, playful spice swaps, and light planning—three anchor proteins, two sauces, two sides—to make cooking easy and enjoyable. No overhaul required; just small, intentional shifts that add up to steadier energy, better sleep, and a kitchen that supports who you are now.If this resonates, share the episode with a friend, hit subscribe, and stay tuned for details on our new membership launching November 1—founder pricing and bonuses for early birds.

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.

Episode 337 Picture us sitting down with our favorite beverage and notebooks, and I ask you: What do you want to focus on and not focus on before the clock strikes midnight on 1/1/2026? It's a question I asked myself before I recorded this episode, and this is what we're talking about today! I share a letter I wrote to myself on 12/31/24 with my goals and dreams for 2025. I talk about what is working in my life that I want to continue to focus on in 2025, a few things I want to start, and something I want to let go of and not focus on.  Throughout the episode, I check in with you to help you get clear on the progress you've made, the things you are doing that are working in your life, and what you want to spend your time focusing on and not focus on for the remainder of the year.  I have a correction:  I mentioned SMART goals and incorrectly used the acronym. The correct meaning is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Thank you for allowing me to be human and make mistakes

What if you are able to craft the exact vision of what you want for your life, despite any obstacles?  While most women over 50 are told to slow down and settle for "good enough," Allison Maslan built multiple eight-figure businesses, learned trapeze, and manifested two dream houses, all after turning 50. As the CEO of Pinnacle Global Network, she works with seven and eight-figure entrepreneurs who seem successful on paper but feel completely stuck. In this conversation, Allison reveals the daily 5-minute practice that she credits with transforming not just her business results, but her entire life. This isn't about positive thinking or vision boards—it's a systematic approach to what she calls "deliberate creation" that combines practical strategy with energetic alignment. You'll discover why she tells her accounting team they're "not allowed" to speak about cash flow problems, how she manifested a property in Mexico that was supposedly "not for sale," and the exact morning routine she uses to stay aligned with her biggest vision even when circumstances suggest otherwise. Whether you're building a business, wanting to transform your health, or simply ready to stop playing small in midlife, this conversation will shift how you think about what's possible for your future.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Allison Maslan:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/allisonmaslan  Website ➜ http://midlifeconversations.com/scale Thank you to our show sponsors!
