If you're a woman navigating midlife and feel like your body is changing faster than you can keep up with, this episode is exactly what you need to hear. We sat down with Dr. Mary Pardee, naturopathic doctor, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and founder of ModrnMed, for one of the most honest, information-packed conversations we've had on The Body Pod.Dr. Pardee pulls back the curtain on why so many women are being dismissed or under-treated by their doctors., from being told they're too young for hormone therapy, handed a prescription with no real explanation, or simply rushed through a 15-minute appointment that barely scratches the surface. She breaks down exactly how estrogen and progesterone affect your gut, why IBS flares are so common during perimenopause, and what the gut-brain axis actually means for your everyday symptoms like bloating, cramping, constipation, and diarrhea.We also get into the real numbers behind menopause hormone therapy (MHT), including breast cancer risks, cardiovascular benefits, and how long you can safely stay on it — so you can walk into your next doctor's appointment informed and empowered. Dr. Pardee explains why she recommends DEXA scans for women well before the standard age of 65, what early bone density testing can catch, and why waiting too long could mean missing a critical window to protect your skeletal health.Beyond hormones and gut health, Dr. Pardee shares her approach to preventative and performance medicine. We talk advanced lipid panels and ApoB testing to VO2 max, strength testing, and cognitive assessments. She's not just treating symptoms; she's helping women build a body that feels just as strong and vital in their 80s and 90s as it does today.If you've been curious about concierge medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy for IBS, diaphragmatic breathing, or simply want a doctor who will actually sit down and talk with you instead of at you — this episode covers it all. Dr. Pardee also shares how to find the right specialist for your specific needs and what questions to ask to make sure you're getting the individualized care you deserve.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno welcomes back Dr. Mary Pardee to take a hard look at one of the most polarizing debates in nutrition: seed oils.

Dr. Pardee breaks down what the data actually show, from omega-6 fatty acids and inflammation to the real story behind trans fats and oil processing. She and Jeff also discuss the pitfalls of viral nutrition trends, how to interpret studies without getting lost in headlines, and why critical thinking is essential in an age of health misinformation.
