Podcasts about not your mother

Today, Dr. Lovely welcomes a conversation with Amitay Eshel, co-founder and CEO of Young Goose and host of the Biohacking Beauty podcast. Amitay, an entrepreneur in the biohacking and beauty industries, explains the science behind accelerated skin aging during perimenopause and menopause, focusing on how declining estrogen impacts essential skin components like collagen, elasticity, hyaluronic acid, and cellular autophagy.   Highlights from our chat: NAD+ is a foundational molecule for cellular repair and longevity, whose levels decline rapidly with age and are further reduced by falling estrogen, leaving skin "starved". Amitay focuses on an "upstream" method of anti aging with the skin, providing NAD+ precursors like NMN to replenish energy and repair functions, rather than just treating visible wrinkles. Spermadine is introduced as a "magical molecule" essential for triggering autophagy, the body's vital cellular recycling process that renews older cells and boosts collagen production. Women experience accelerated skin aging during perimenopause and menopause due to significant drops in estrogen, leading to rapid declines in collagen, elasticity, hyaluronic acid, and autophagy, contributing to a pro-inflammatory skin state. Young Goose integrates these NAD+ innovations and spermadine into its skincare range, offering a holistic approach to biological aging in the skin.

Chef Mareya Ibrahim (also known as Chef Mareya, 'The Fit Foodie') is a chef, holistic nutritionist, brain health coach, author, and inventor. She hosts The Real Dish podcast and wrote Eat Like You Give a Fork. She also created Fit and Fab Over 40, Meal Prep Club, and Eat to Thrive programs, and was a signature chef for The Daniel Plan.   In this conversation, you will hear: Chef Mareya  shares her inspiring personal journey of healing from severe injuries like a tibial fracture, torn ACL, and meniscus without surgery in her 50s. She overcame intense anxiety and heart palpitations, discovering they were linked to a magnesium deficiency.  The conversation highlights a crucial shift in mindset towards health in midlife: moving from exercising and eating for thinness to focusing on strength and functional fitness. Chef Mareya emphasises prioritising protein, colourful produce, and healthy fats, viewing food as information for cells rather than just calories. She started competitive bodybuilding in her 50s to build muscle, which also helped her recover from injury. She shares the importance of specific supplements like magnesium for heart regulation and anxiety, vitamin C for collagen production and wound healing, and B vitamins for stress management. Lifestyle factors such as managing stress, ensuring good sleep, and limiting alcohol and caffeine are also vital for midlife women's health. The discussion encourages self-advocacy in healthcare, as women may need to become detectives of their own health to find answers their doctors might not provide.   Chef Mareya Ibrahim, through her personal story and extensive expertise, offers a powerful message of hope and empowerment for midlife women, demonstrating that it's never too late to achieve functional fitness and optimal health. You can find out more about Chef Mareya at her website, chefmareya.com, and on social media at @chefmareya.   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode: ☀️Struggling with energy, mood, or brain fog?

In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely speaks with Gerardo Gutierrez - “Guti”, founder of Mitolux, about one of the most overlooked pillars of wellness: sunlight. After facing pre-diabetes, low testosterone, and depression, Gerardo turned away from lifelong medications and toward natural healing. His recovery began with daily sun exposure—a simple shift that dramatically improved his hormone levels, mood, and overall vitality. Gerardo now educates others on the science of light: how UVB, red, and infrared wavelengths support vitamin D production, hormone balance, mental clarity, and even skin health. He also shares why he created the Mitolux lamp—to help people safely access the benefits of sunlight indoors, especially in modern lifestyles that keep us indoors and afraid of the sun. If you've ever wondered whether sunlight could be more healing than harmful, this episode is a must-listen. Topics We Cover in This Episode: How Guti reversed chronic health issues using sunlight instead of pharmaceuticals Why UVB, red, and infrared light are essential for hormone health, energy, and mood The truth about sunscreen and how some types can disrupt hormones How light therapy supports skin, collagen, anti-aging, and even libido Why Mitolux was born—to safely replicate the sun's full healing spectrum at home You can learn more at Mitolux.com,  and please follow Guti on Instagram @mitoluxusa.   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

In this week's episode,  Dr. Fiona Lovely speaks with Cathy Eason, a certified holistic nutritionist and clinical educator, about nitric oxide (NO), often called the "miracle molecule" for its vital role in blood flow and thus, overall health.  We talk about the groundbreaking findings from a pilot study on nitric oxide's impact on women's sexual health, revealing significant improvements in desire (75%), lubrication (58%), orgasm (83%), and reduced discomfort (83%) among participants who took two capsules of nitric oxide daily for 60 days. Beyond sexual function, we discuss optimal blood flow, facilitated by nitric oxide, which is essential for nutrient and oxygen delivery, waste removal, and hormone transmission throughout the body. Cathy Eason explains that nitric oxide levels naturally decline by about 50% by age 40, which is concerning for women during perimenopause and menopause.  It impacts cardiovascular health, brain function, and energy levels. You can boost your nitric oxides by eating foods like leafy greens and the Berkeley Life supplements, along with practices like nostril breathing and exercise, can support its production. Cathy shares how to use the Berkley Life test strips which offer a practical way to monitor personal nitric oxide levels. Cathy also shares her personal experience using nitric oxide to support her in recovery from mold exposure, noting its benefits for detox, cellular energy, and immune system health. You can learn more about Cathy Eason through her LinkedIn profile, or explore her work with Berkeley Life, a company focused on stress resilience and nitric oxide-boosting supplements.

In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Kim Casaburi, co-founder of Serotonin Centers, esthetician, and passionate menopause wellness advocate, for a powerful and empowering conversation about reclaiming midlife health through hormone optimization and functional medicine. After facing years of unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and emotional struggles, Kim shares how her search for answers led her to hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—a turning point after being dismissed by traditional medical professionals. She opens up about the medical gaslighting many women face and how she found her vitality again through functional, whole-body care. Kim also dives deep into the connection between hormones and skin health, sharing why aesthetic treatments like microneedling and HydraFacials fall short when hormones are out of balance—likening it to “pouring water into a bucket with a hole.” She explains why testosterone is not just for men and how it supports women's confidence, energy, and emotional resilience. Together, Dr. Lovely and Kim explore the need to shatter outdated medical narratives around menopause, embrace personalized care, and prioritize thriving—not just surviving—in midlife and beyond. What You'll Hear: Kim's personal journey through misdiagnosis and healing The overlooked impact of hormone imbalance on skin and vitality Testosterone: the misunderstood hormone women need too How Serotonin Centers blend HRT, aesthetics, and wellness coaching The stigma around menopause in conventional medicine Why hormone health is a cornerstone of longevity A call to action for women to own their needs and advocate for themselves You can learn more about Kim Casaburi and the services offered at Serotonin Centers by visiting www.serotonincenters.com. Offerings include hormone optimization, PRP microneedling, IV therapy, HydraFacials, and more.. Final thoughts from Kim: “Stand up straight. Stop hiding your pain. And own your needs.” Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

Before we get into more of the story, I just wanted to mention that Liz, as a comedian performed for the sold out symposium on January 12, 2025 for "Not Your Mother's Menopause, NJ which took place in Maplewood,NJ. Allison Kalsched along with Dr. Sharon Mallone, OBGYN  and best Selling Author, were guests on S6E4 of SHLTMM. I wanted to mention Stacey Futterman Tauriello and April McKenzie who are also Co-Founders of NYMMNJ. Many people were involved, working diligently to have a long list of practitioners and  professionals speak on the topic of women's health, wellbeing and happiness.This is the story of mother and daughter that absolutley love one another and have a very special connection. They love to talk about anything and everything. It's heartwarming to hear these stories of their relationship and how laughter is such an integral part of both of their lives. You'll hear liz share stories about how great her mom is at landing a story and that she's got great comedic timing. Comedy and laughter can be therapeutic and I think it's been healing for both women.Liz and Toby have their own Love Language. They understand one another perfectly where as other people may not really understand  exactly what they're talking about. The two women also love speaking to one another before going to bed. As a child, her mom would give Liz the option of reading a book or talking before bed and Liz would automatically choose option two of talking together."My mom was fun but not like a cool mom. Both of my parents were over protective. But my mom loves to talk and boy does she know how to land a  story," according to Glazer."If she wants to be a comedian," I support her.As a teen, Liz would have some girlfriends over for a sleepover and naturally in the middle of the night mom would come down to keep an eye on the girls so they got some sleep. Toby lays down on the floor with the girls and the only two awake are Liz and her mom. The two women wind up talking till late in the morning?"Both mom and dad grew up with  Holocaust survivors as parents" shares Liz. Her mother's upbringing -was tough. On one hand her parents experienced an atrocity in the Concentration camps. They were traumatized and now living in a foreign country. Meanwhile, Toby was trying to fit in as an American on Long Island.  A friend asked why is Theresa name Theresa? For fear of Anti Semitic backlash?Toby's birth certificate  originally had "Theresa" listed as her first name as not to be recognized as being Jewish.  Eventually they legally changed her name legally.Retail returns are a right of passage. Liz has been returning purchases for her mother for decades.Liz share "this is the story of a woman who  endured sadness and trauma and found hope and laughter and a sense of calm through her own resilience, helped by friends and her family and  ultimately has become the strong woman that her family members saw that she was before she saw it herself." Liz Glazer's  Social Media:WEBSITE:dearlizglazer.comFB:LIZ GLAZERLINKEDIN: LIZ GLAZERINSTAGRAM:LIZ GLAZER "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Dr. Sharon Malone's book is titled "Grown Woman Talk, Your Guide to Getting Healthy and Staying Healthy."  This is a book isn't filled with stats, charts and graphs. It's a book about taking care of oneself and getting support from family, friends and doctors that take the time to recognize you, your symptoms and guide you  in the correct direction until you get the answers that you need.Bertha, Dr. Malone's mother, was born in 1914 in rural Alabama.  Sadly Bertha died when Dr. Malone, her youngest daughter, was twelve.  Out of necessity, Bertha and close relatives had to self diagnose any and all illnesses. There wasn't really any medical services nearby. It was all based on collective knowledge from family members and maybe a midwife who could help out.  It was her family, a few things in a medicine cabinet, home remedies, etc that worked when one of her children was sick. "There was so much of an "ancestral collective of knowledge" that Bertha had access to, that we don't have today," reflects Malone.My guest's mother, Bertha lost her mother when she was 14 and Bertha and her sixteen year old sister had three younger siblings to  raise. It wasn't an easy childhood, but it didn't stop Bertha for instilling such a wealth knowledge in her own children. I highly recommend you read "Grown Woman Talk," to get the full impact of her mother's life and Dr. Malone's philosophies regarding health.Dr. Malone explains, "medicine is not the answer for everything,  but there is also a place and time for it.  Don't run to the doctor every time there's  a sniffle." "She'd like to see the pendulum come back to the middle," regarding the health field.Bertha was a maid in officers quarters of the near by Military base because she had to work. Plus Bertha took care of the work around the house including the cooking, cleaning, etc.Bertha was confident and calm but there are so many stories that Dr. Malone doesn't know about.  In the early 20th century Bertha was very practical and conscientious especially when it came to diet, health and "necessities. Dr. Malone lovingly shares stories of her mother, her work ethic and the moral grounding and how  important it was.  "I still hear her voice in my head.  When I do things I either think of them as either this will make  my mother  proud or my mother would not be  pleased with this particularly behavior."Dr. Malone only had twelve formative years with her mother, but she says "I learned enough about character and what was and wasn't important in life in that short time.  Don't ever doubt the the value and importance of mothers and the effect they have on their children. In those few years, I had enough to be really influenced by her about what kind of woman i wanted to be and what kind of mother I wanted to be."  Allison Kalsched a women's fitness specialist is one of the Co-Founders of NYMMNJ. She was so excited to share the "significance of the community of women" that came together to not only organize this first ever symposium but the respected presenters and the  250 women  that came from near and far to this event.Allison has been working exclusively with women  for about ten years on their fitness and health journey. "The story hasn't changed much, remarks Kalsched, since Dr. Malone's mother was born in the early part of the twentieth century, and everything she (Bertha) learned about women's health was through a symposium of women-the benefits of  being surrounded by women and how we can help one another."  NYMMNJ was put together by a group of women out of the necessity of getting the help they need for their midlife health and wellbeing.  Most of these women had come to Allison for training and they've been through all life changes together.Allison concurs that women some times make things too complicated and tend to put our well being on the back burner. As women age we need to work on our bodies differently than when we were younger. Taking the time  to see a doctor is important, but "we have to think about the woman's body as much more complicated and much more holistic."  Fifty percent of the women who walk in Allison's door complain of frozen shoulder or plantar fasciitis, they are the most common complaints.  Allison believes that mainly these issues of inflammation in  joints are reactions to changes in our hormones " it's all connected." NOT YOUR MOTHER'S MENOPAUSE NJ:Not Your Mother's Menopause NJ is the creation of three Maplewood/South Orange based women who recognized a need for an event such as this. April L McKenzie started the popular Facebook group Perimenopause — It's for Real (now renamed Not Your Mother's Menopause NJ) when she became increasingly frustrated at her own personal experience with finding help for her perimenopausal symptoms. Since the group's founding in 2021, almost 800 women have shared their knowledge, resources and experiences. She has just been voted in as a board member of Let's Talk Menopause, a national nonprofit, where she will grow her involvement in women's health advocacy and menopause awareness.Stacey Futterman Tauriello is the founder of 5 Point Physical Therapy and a pelvic health specialist. After 28 years practicing pelvic health, Stacey (and her patients) were going through hormonal changes that affected their lifestyle in many ways. Allison Kalschedis a women's fitness specialist who has worked in the Maplewood area for over 10 years. As she and her clients have aged together, she became increasingly interested in how the menopause transition affects every system in a woman's body. She is currently studying to become a certified menopause coach.The three of us have come together to help our community forge a path through the information overload about the menopause transition. This event took place for the very first time on January 12, 2025!  More information coming regarding a video of the day long event with all the presenters including Dr. Sharon Malone.DR.

I am thrilled to share this authentic and vulnerable conversation with you. My guest is Dr. Fiona Lovely. You may know her from her mindblowing podcast, Not Your Mother's Menopause. With two decades of experience, Dr. Lovely is a trailblazer in women's health. Specifically focusing on the menopause transition, perimenopause and menopause. Stick with us on this vulnerable and passionate conversation because in it, we share stories of our own experiences and highlight how community and connection are the bedrock for growth and healing in a health system that has only begun to prioritize women's health. Dr. Lovely helps us understand the growing evidence and debunks misconceptions in the menopause narrative. Spoiler alert, but there's a lot in here about social justice and a little bit of swearing. We talk about the mental and physiological shifts women encounter during this time of renovation in our bodies and in our brains, and some myths about cognitive decline.  This episode is packed with wisdom, practical advice, and a heartfelt big sister kind of conversation. Whether you're an occupational therapist, someone in their 30s and 40s experiencing symptoms you didn't know were perimenopause, or you're simply interested in understanding this vital aspect of health, there's so much here for you. _______________________________________ Links to resources mentioned in the podcast: Dr. Fiona Lovely's Website: drlovely.com Podcast: Not Your Mother's Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely Menopause Doula Society Dr. Lisa Musconi - Neuroscience & Women's Health AMS Menopause Symptom Scorecard _______________________________________ Are you a therapy business owner seeking a community of support as the whole person at the centre of your business?

The two-time Sunday Times bestselling author and journalist Candice Brathwaite grew up in Brixton, south London. Candice first became known for her conversations about the often over-looked experience of Black mothers in the UK which became the subject of her raw, searing and witty 2020 book, 'I am Not Your Mother'. She followed that with 'Sista Sista' essays which were equally forceful on the issues of diversity, identity and representation. Her latest book 'Manifesto' is out now. We asked Candice to share with us the tracks that have inspired her.

On Season 5, Episode 2, of The Art Career Podcast, Emily sits down with painter, Robin F. Williams, in their Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio. Known for her large-scale paintings of stylized, sentient, yet ambiguously generated female figures, Robin F. Williams (b. 1984) employs a variety of techniques, including oil, airbrush, poured paint, marbling, and staining of raw canvas to create deeply textured and complexly constructed paintings. Combining a masterful technical understanding with an innate sense of curiosity, Williams fuses practices from social media channels such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with references to early modernism, pop culture, advertising, and cinema, to challenge the systemic conventions around representations of women. Williams received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and has presented solo exhibitions at P·P·O·W, New York, NY; Various Small Fires, Los Angeles, CA; Bard College at Simon's Rock, Great Barrington, MA; Jack the Pelican Presents, Brooklyn, NY; and Morán Morán, Mexico City, Mexico. Her work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions nationally and internationally including In New York, Thinking of You (Part I), Flag Art Foundation, New York, NY; I'm Not Your Mother, P·P·O·W, New York, NY; Fire Figure Fantasy, ICA Miami, Miami, FL; Present Generations, Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, OH; Bitter Nest, Galerie Perrotin, Tokyo, Japan; XENIA: Crossroads in Portrait Painting, Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, NY; Nicolas Party: Pastel, Flag Art Foundation, New York, NY; SEED, curated by Yvonne Force, Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York, NY; and more. Her work is currently in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; Collection Majudia, Montreal, Canada; Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, OH; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, FL; X Museum, Beijing, China; among others. Robin F. Williams: We've Been Expecting You, Williams' first solo institutional exhibition, is on view at the Columbus Museum of Art through August 18, 2024. Her first solo exhibition with Perrotin Tokyo opens in May 2024.  P•P•O•W Gallery Columbus Museum of Art @robinfrancescawilliams @theartcareer

Chelsea and her best friend, Caitlin Slavens, are accomplished psychologists, and renowned authors based in Alberta, Canada.

Their impact extends beyond the written word, with a 560,000+ Instagram following and appearances in podcasts such as The Peds Doc Talk's podcast, newspapers, and WFL8 News, just to name a few.
