Dr. Shelby Harris' 5 Key Takeaways:Establish a Sleep Schedule: Aim to go to bed and wake up within a consistent 1.5-hour window each day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.Prepare for Rest: Just as many women embrace evening rituals like skincare, preparing for sleep is a crucial step in combating insomnia. Indulge in a warm bath approximately two hours before your intended bedtime. This allows your body temperature to drop naturally, signaling that it's time to sleep.Mind Your Intake: Be mindful of your consumption of alcohol and caffeine. It's best to avoid them within 3 to 8 hours of bedtime to prevent interference with your sleep quality.Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Transform your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary by keeping it cool, ideally in the mid-60s Fahrenheit, and ensuring it is as dark as possible.Focus on Feeling, Not Just Numbers: If you're tracking your sleep, pay more attention to how rested and functional you feel during the day rather than fixating solely on the data. Remember, the effort to sleep is often counterproductive; allow rest to come naturally.In This Episode: (00:00) Introduction(03:05) Explaining the behavioral sleep medicine specialty(08:16) Insomnia vs. normal sleep disturbances(11:14) Treating female insomnia without medication(27:18) When to prescribe medications and which ones(36:44) Sleep needs across different age groups(49:45) Sleep challenges during pregnancy and postpartum(54:38) Perimenopause: A perfect storm for sleep(1:02:16) Non-negotiables for better sleep habitsRESOURCES:Accuracy of Three Commercial Wearable Devices for Sleep Tracking in Healthy Adults - NIH Study GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Shelby Harris is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in White Plains, New York who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine (BSM), working to improve the sleep of everyone from babies through older adults using evidence-based methods.She is also a specialist in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression in adolescents and adults.

But, no need to fear – we're leaving y'all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we're offline. We're dropping an ENCORE POD EPISODE of when we collabed with the iconic “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy and Jess Pieklo IN DC and broke down SCOTUS' Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic arguments back in April. It went a little something like this… ATTENTION BUZZKILLAHSSSSS! WE DID A LIVE THING – in DC! Yep. Your “Feminist Buzzkills” joined forces with the “Boom! Lawyered” pod for an epic live show! After getting word that SCOTUS was hearing a case that could result in eliminating any healthcare provider from Medicaid payments if they provide abortion, we geared up for battle for one super-sized show with the amazing “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy (Rewire Editor-at-Large) and Jess Pieklo (Rewire Senior Vice President, Executive Editor.) We break down what this case means, and fill you in on all the outrageous tricks clown lawmakers across the country are playing trying to destroy access to reproductive care. It was a packed show full of rage and shenanigans and the DC crowd LOVED IT!  This episode unpacks the arguments in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could upend Medicaid beneficiaries ability to enforce their rights under the public benefit program all because conservatives hate abortion. We get into the history of efforts to kick Planned Parenthood out of the Medicaid program, the bad faith arguments made by conservatives to the Court as they try to do so again, and how a bad decision in the case could impact way more than access to abortion. Recorded LIVE at the Black Cat in DC, we gotta give a huge shout out and special thanks to the Black Cat crew for making the space for our loud asses AND for everyone who showed up! Tune in for the legal brilliance, the laughs, the knowledge, and some actions you can take to be the change you wanna see in this world.  Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.  Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod! OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: WE DID A THING EARLIER THIS MONTH! The Feminist Buzzkills took some big patriarchy-smashing heat to The Big Easy and recorded a live workshop that'll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to support abortion patients and providers.

We're passing judgment—because someone has to. This week's Reddit-fueled medical panel takes on uncomfortable questions that your group chat definitely isn't ready for: Is dating an OB-GYN inherently weird? Should your partner be your #1 even when you're literally delivering babies at 3 AM? And what happens when your parents think taking three days off is career suicide? We drag a few well-meaning but very misinformed relatives, unpack how culture collides with medicine, and dissect how med students actually keep their relationships alive. Plus, one brave listener dares to ask: “Can I move out of my family's one-bedroom and still be a good daughter?" Expect spicy, real talk, and a few questionable ideas we're choosing not to redact.

An Honest Account of Abortion - "Since Before Roe v. Wade: An Abortion Provider's Memoir" by Steven H. Eisinger, MD, FACOGSince Before Roe v. Wade was written with clarity, humor, and passion. This memoir presents an accurate picture of abortion to the public, including the medical and psychological realities for patients and providers, and fearlessly addresses the complex issues surrounding abortion. Numerous patient stories are presented to illustrate the many facets of abortion. Other aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, contraception, and gynecologic conditions and how they relate to abortion are discussed as well. These accounts explain technical issues to the public with the aid of vivid illustrations. Dr. Eisinger envisions his work becoming a useful source of information. In our current overheated national discussion about abortion, we need an accurate, compassionate, honest account of abortion-this is it!Steven H. Eisinger, MD, FACOG attended college at the University of Chicago, medical school at the University of Michigan, and residency in Ob Gyn at the University of Wisconsin. He then served as a Major in the Army for two years, delivering babies and doing abortions! Then, Dr. Eisinger accepted a position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester (NY) Medical School in 1977, teaching Ob Gyn to resident physicians.Dr. Eisinger remained in Rochester for his entire career teaching, practicing, and conducting research, eventually retiring as Professor Emeritus in 2022. Throughout his career, Dr. Eisinger has dedicated himself to three main pursuits: providing obstetric and gynecologic care for underserved women, educating young doctors, and championing reproductive freedom, including abortion. Dr. Eisinger has performed abortions all his professional life, beginning in 1971, Since Before Roe v. Wade.Dr. Eisinger spoke at the 2024 NOW rally in Rochester, NY, to advocate for the continued availability of mifepristone, the abortion pill. He was an author of and was responsible for designing safety protocols for a nationwide scientific study on mifepristone. The study persuaded the FDA to approve mifepristone in 2000. Dr. Eisinger has since prescribed mifepristone for thousands of women. The abortion pill is safe and effective-he should know!He is a lifetime Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG). His hobbies include hiking, trail maintenance, golf, mountain climbing, and dealing in rare coins.

That could very well be perimenopause and it might hit sooner than you think! In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Nazzaro, a board-certified OB-GYN and certified menopause specialist, to talk about what's really going on during perimenopause and why so many women feel unprepared and unsupported. We dive into why so many doctors miss the signs, how to recognize the changes happening in your own body, and most importantly—how to stop feeling dismissed and start getting the care you deserve. If you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond and wondering why your body suddenly feels different, this conversation will help you connect the dots. And more importantly, it'll show you that you're not alone.   Key Takeaways: Perimenopause can begin in your late 30s and last for years. It's a hormonal transition marked by fluctuations—not something a lab test can neatly diagnose. Common early symptoms include disrupted sleep, mood swings, brain fog, skin changes, and feeling more sensitive to stress. The decline in estrogen isn't just about hot flashes—it affects heart health, bone density, skin elasticity, metabolism, and even cognition. Your habits in your 30s and 40s (sleep, alcohol, stress, diet) start to catch up to you in this phase—and your skin is often one of the first places to show it. Lab tests can be normal, but you can still be in perimenopause. Symptoms and clinical context matter more than a single hormone panel. Getting informed and finding a provider trained in menopause care can dramatically change your quality of life. Feeling empowered starts with understanding your body. You deserve to feel good in your skin—at any age. You are not broken. You're in a new phase. And there are real, science-backed ways to support yourself through it. Dr. Jessica Nazzaro (pronounced nuh-czar-oh) is a board-certified OB-GYN, menopause expert, and faith-forward wellness advocate.   Follow Dr. Nazzaro here: https://www.instagram.com/doctor_jnazz/?hl=en https://www.doctorjnazz.com/ Need an app?

Feeling like your body's working against you in your 40s? You're eating clean, working out harder than ever, and yet… the weight just won't budge. Your energy's low, sleep is off, and your doctor says it's “just hormones” or “normal aging.”   But here's the truth: You're not broken—and you don't have to accept that answer.   In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really happening in perimenopause, why so many women feel dismissed by traditional advice, and how foundational strategies like strength training, blood sugar balance, and stress recovery can completely change the game.   You'll learn: Why “eat less and move more” doesn't work in perimenopause. What your OB-GYN may not be trained to address. The 3 key levers that actually support your hormones: muscle, metabolism, and nervous system care

Women's health is complicated, isn't it? Between stress, hormones, and all the changes that come with midlife, it can feel like we're constantly trying to put puzzle pieces together without seeing the full picture. That's why I loved sitting down with Dr. Margaret Christensen to talk about what's really going on beneath the surface. She's sharing a perspective on health, intimacy, and connection that every woman deserves to hear.   Dr. Margaret walked this journey herself. After facing serious health challenges from toxic mold exposure, she shifted from being a traditional OB-GYN to a leader in functional medicine. Now she helps women uncover the root causes of what's draining their energy, throwing off their hormones, and leaving them feeling disconnected. In our conversation, she opens up about midlife changes, hormone therapy, and how we can reclaim both our vitality and our joy.   What really struck me was how she talks about sexuality and connection, not as something to be hidden or ignored, but as a powerful force for healing. We cover everything from navigating menopause to rekindling intimacy to why relationships are so key for our health. If you've ever felt like you're just pushing through midlife instead of thriving in it, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. And if you're ready for a little extra support, I'd love to have you in my 10-day Breeze Through Menopause masterclass, just $17 at dranna.com/breeze.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.

Dr. Morgan and Dr. Nathan Riley have an open, and most importantly, nuanced conversation about abortion. Dr. Riley is an OBGYN and is dual board-certified in hospice and palliative care, so he offers an interesting perspective of expertise in both the beginning AND the end of life. Our goal in this episode is not to take sides, but to explore the shades of gray in a topic that is often painted in black and white. This conversation may not be for everyone - and that's okay. It isn't a perfect discussion, but we hope you'll find something in it that resonates, challenges, or simply helps you understand the realities others face - realities you may never have had to think about, which in itself can be a kind of privilege. We truly believe that most people likely fall in this middle ground space, if only we could share the perspective from both sides. Conversations like this aren't easy, but keeping them open and honest is the only way things can change. So we invite you to listen with an open mind and an open heart.This episode is sponsored by:Redmond Salt >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 15% on your order.Needed >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20% off your first order.Lumebox >> Click here and use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER for $260 off.Resources From This Episode:Dr. Nathan Riley's WebsiteDr. Nathan Riley's fertility, pregnancy, and birth class with midwife Sara Rosser, Born Free MethodDr. Nathan Riley's InstagramStay Connected With Us:Healthy As A Mother: www.healthyasamother.comInstagram: @healthyasamotherpodcastDr. Leah: www.womanhoodwellness.comInstagram: @drleahgordonDr. Morgan: www.milkmedicine.comInstagram: @morganmacdermott

About the Show:“Why did nobody tell me about this?”– Dr. Kristin MarkellIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn sits down with Dr. Kristin Markell, an integrative medicine specialist helping women navigate the often-overlooked journey of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Markell combines her experience as a traditional OB/GYN with holistic, whole-person strategies to provide personalized care for women in Northwest Arkansas and beyond.Together, Randy and Dr. Markell break down the basics of perimenopause and menopause—including what these terms really mean, when symptoms can start, and why every woman's experience is unique. Dr. Markell shares her personal and professional journey, the frustration women feel about the lack of education on these topics, and how integrative medicine can help women feel their best through this stage of life.The episode also explores how families, employers, and the wider community can better support women during this transition, as well as the emerging innovations and digital tools empowering women to take charge of their health.If you're a woman, love a woman, work with women, or are simply curious, this is an important conversation for you.Key Takeaways:Menopause is natural but often misunderstood: Most women aren't taught about perimenopause and menopause early enough. Symptoms can start as early as a woman's 30s—not just in the 50s or 60s—and everyone's experience is different.Definitions matter: Menopause is officially when a woman hasn't had a period for one year; perimenopause is the 7-10 years leading up to that.Symptoms are more than hot flashes: Every area of the body can be affected, from brain fog and anxiety to fatigue, aches, and sexual health changes.You don't have to “just deal with it”: Dr. Markell urges women not to “white knuckle” through symptoms—there are treatments and support, including both hormonal and non-hormonal options.Integrative medicine offers personalized care: Dr. Markell's approach looks at the whole person, from nutrition to stress to long-term wellness, not just the symptoms.Support is a team effort: Family, partners, co-workers, and employers all play a role in helping women thrive during this time.Resources are growing: New digital tools, wearables, and dedicated clinics (including right here in NWA!) are giving women greater access to care and information.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show* Dr. Kristin Markell's Website: https://kristinmarkellmd.comThe Menopause Society: https://www.menopause.orgDr. Markell on Instagram: @kristenmarkellmdDr. Markell on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinmarkellmd/Contact Dr. Markell's Office: 479-222-0966You can listen to the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast weekly on KUAF 91.3 FM's Ozarks at Large(Other resources and episodes mentioned: Mel Robbins, “The Diary of a CEO” with Steven Bartlett, Dr. Peter Attia & Dr. Rachel Rubin Podcast, Midi Health, Electra Health)FindItNWA.com NWA's Hyperlocal Business DirectoryThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"

A recent paper published in JAMA shows that Idaho has lost approximately 35 percent of doctors specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, leaving many counties without any maternal or reproductive health care providers at all.  That comes after the state passed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Amber Nelson, executive director of the Idaho Coalition for Safe Healthcare, says 85% of these practicing specialists work in just seven of the state’s urban counties.   Dr. Amelia Huntsberger was a practicing OBGYN in Idaho for many years before the ban. But after the ban, the emotional strain of navigating patient care amid the possibility of prosecution, led to the painful decision to uproot her family and move out of state. Huntsberger now practices in Eugene, but she says her family still deals with the grief that transition brought. We talk with her and Nelson about the larger trends and what they mean in the lives of women seeking reproductive and material care.

John has a mixed bag of news today. First, he discusses the latest with Trump's tariffs which seem to be growing every minute. Then, he talks about the escalation in the Texas gerrymandering stand off - agents from the FBI have been directed to assist Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in the roundup and arrest of democratic politicians on the run from his gerrymander bill. After that, he discusses Trump calling for a "new" census that excludes people in the U.S. without legal status. The 14th Amendment requires the "whole number of persons in each state" to be included in a key set of census numbers used to determine how presidents and members of Congress are elected. And then he mentions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Arlington National Cemetery will be restoring a Confederate monument created by Moses Ezekiel which has been criticized for misrepresenting the history of slavery. Ezekiel was a Confederate soldier who spent much of his artistic career promoting the “Lost Cause” myth that the Civil War was just and heroic, and not a treasonous war fought to uphold slavery. John then interviews Dr. Kristin Lyerly, a practicing OBGYN based in Wisconsin, is a board member of the Committee to Protect Health Care – a national health care advocacy organization made up of thousands of doctors across the country fighting for access to care for their patients and holding politicians accountable, including President Trump. Find her at Bluesky: @DrKristin4wi.bsky.social. And closing it up he chats to listeners about the Epstein files and Trump's tariffs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
