Today's episode is all about the real gaps in women's healthcare and what it actually takes to support women in a way that honors our differences, our bodies, and our lived experiences.I'm joined by Kirsten Karchmer, a true pioneer in women's health tech and the founder/CEO of Conceivable Technologies. After working with more than 10,000 women in her clinic, Kirsten recognized something big: women were struggling because our healthcare system simply wasn't designed to meet our unique, day-to-day needs.So she built one of the very first AI-driven fertility platforms to help women uncover hidden factors that affect cycles, energy, fertility, and overall wellbeing. Her work has been spotlighted everywhere from TechCrunch to Fox News, and she's built a community of more than 300,000 women who show up for her honest, empowering insights.TakeawaysWomen often lack the necessary support for their health needs.Healthcare should empower women to understand their bodies.Menstrual pain is a significant issue that affects many women.Liver health is crucial for overall well-being and fertility.Generic health advice can be misleading and harmful.Nutrition plays a vital role in fertility and menstrual health.Personalized supplements can enhance health outcomes.PCOS is a metabolic condition that requires careful management.Tracking health metrics can provide valuable insights into well-being.Seasonal changes can impact women's health and should be considered in care.If you've ever felt brushed off, confused by your symptoms, or simply wished someone would explain what's going on in a straightforward, grounded way this episode is for you.

In this powerful transmission, Yasmine Minnifield, founder of Womb of Peace, joins Kit Maloney for a profound exploration of the Father Wound and how healing our inner masculine is a path to feminine restoration. Yasmine shares how wounding to our inner masculine affects our sense of safety, openness to intimacy, and feeling worthy of provision and protection - often showing up as overfunctioning, burnout, or a hard, protective shell.  She maps the energetics of the wound onto the body through mineral imbalances, offering a tangible, multidimensional pathway to healing through herbal medicine, remineralization, and inner work.  Yasmine describes how Yoni Steaming supports every level of this process, from the physical release of old blood, tissue, and emotions to remineralization through the herbs in the steam. She invites us to use our steam practice to develop deeper intimacy with self and the ancestral line to create lasting mental and emotional repatterning. Healing the inner masculine allows the mature feminine to rise, the Queen, who knows how to live and lead in a deeply nourishing, empowered way.     Yasmine Minnifield blends functional mineral science and somatic healing to help women decode their body's messages, with hair mineral testing as the doorway into deep restoration.

In this episode of The Positive Pause, host Claire Gill sits down with EJ Kim and Marina Pen, co-founders of NNABI, the first company built specifically to support women in perimenopause, for a discussion around the massive awareness gap surrounding this life stage, their groundbreaking “Peri Power Report 2025”, and why women deserve better education, community, and tools as they navigate perimenopause.EJ Kim's personal struggles with PCOS and later perimenopause led her to seek natural, evidence-based solutions. When Marina began experiencing anxiety, sleepless nights, and mood swings, she discovered it wasn't stress; it was perimenopause. Surprised by how little conversation and guidance existed, she turned frustration into purpose. Together they created NNABI, which means butterfly in Korean and represents love, hope, beauty and transformation, a brand created to educate and empower women through one of the most transformative stages of their lives through credible information, supportive community and doctor-formulated solutions designed specifically for Perimenopause. EJ is passionate about redefining the conversation around perimenopause as a power era, and ensuring that women are understood, seen, and recognized for the power they hold and reflected accurately in media and narratives.This episode sheds light on a stage of life that affects millions of women yet remains widely misunderstood -- many women begin experiencing perimenopause years before they expect to, often in their 30s or early 40s, without recognizing the signs.Key Points CoveredThere is a significant awareness gap - women often experience multiple symptoms (fatigue, anxiety, sleep disruption, joint pain, irritability, brain fog, and weight changes) yet do not associate them with perimenopause and are frequently misattributed to stress or aging instead of hormonal shifts. Education is critical - Understanding the term “perimenopause” and being able to name what's happening helps counter feelings of confusion or self-blame. Community support—at home, in the workplace, and among peers—plays a major role in helping women navigate this stage. We all need to learn and talk about how to share the loads! Perimenopause is not strictly a negative phase - Many women experience newfound clarity, confidence, boundary-setting, and personal power during this time, which becomes sources of their power. There is no single solution or a quick fix - Instead, women benefit from a toolkit approach that may include medical guidance, lifestyle changes, sleep support, movement, supplements, and stress management.This episode sheds light on a stage of life that affects millions of women yet remains widely misunderstood. Claire, EJ, and Marina explore the symptoms most women overlook, the emotional impact of not knowing what's happening, and the importance of education, community, and supportive tools. Through NNABI's “Peri Power Report” and their mission, they highlight both the challenges and the strengths that define this transitional chapter and underscore why women deserve clarity, compassion, and resources that truly reflect their experience.Connect with EJ & MarinaNNABI website: https://nnabilife.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nnabi.life LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nnabi/NNABI's “The Peri Power Report 2025”: https://nnabilife.com/pages/get-the-peri-power-report 

In this episode I speak with fertility and IVF specialist Dr Mark Amols about what IVF can actually do, what it can't, and why so many women are sent down the IVF path without anyone ever asking the most important question: why.We explore the myths, the medical realities and the emotional toll of IVF, and Mark shares the practical, compassionate guidance he wishes every couple had before starting treatment. His insights blend clinical experience, personal IVF experience, and a deep respect for women's autonomy in their fertility journey.You'll learn how:1. IVF is powerful, but it's not a magic fix.Most women are led to believe IVF has near-perfect success rates or will guarantee multiple embryos. Mark breaks down what IVF is actually designed to do (help you get one healthy pregnancy) and why failed cycles never mean you're “infertile” or out of options.2. The ‘why' behind infertility matters more than the protocol.Many couples are pushed into IVF without anyone investigating ovulation issues, sperm quality, endometriosis, PCOS, inflammation, medications or timing. Mark shows how identifying the root cause can completely change outcomes, and why failed cycles often reflect untreated issues, not that you're “broken”.3. Preparation transforms outcomes for both men and women.Even small shifts to lifestyle, inflammation and hormonal balance can improve embryo development. Mark explains why diet, environment and timing matter, why sperm health needs equal attention, and how a few months of targeted preparation can radically improve IVF success.00:00 Debunking IVF Myths00:51 Empowering Women Through IVF02:10 When IVF is Necessary03:13 The Importance of Preparation05:45 Understanding the Why22:30 Personal Experiences with IVF26:51 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsMentioned in this episodeTasha's Your Fertile Pantry ProgramWork with TashaWhen Nature Meets Science - Dr Mark Amols Interview with TashaMentioned in this episode:Ultimate Egg Quality Guide

Public health professional Nishat Uddin discusses her article "Why culturally compassionate care matters for South Asian communities." Nishat explains why South Asians, one of the fastest-growing U.S. populations, face disproportionate rates of diabetes, heart disease, and PCOS. She highlights the key cultural and systemic barriers (like dietary disconnects, language barriers, and deep-seated stigma around mental health and infertility) that prevent individuals from seeking or following care. This episode dives into practical, compassionate strategies for clinicians to bridge these gaps, such as adapting dietary advice to include staple foods (like rice and chapati) and understanding collective family decision-making. Learn how small, intentional changes in the health care system can build trust and create genuinely person-centered care for everyone. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Today we're talking about gynaecological health. Conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome are more common than might think. Yet they're often misunderstood, frequently undiagnosed, and are all too easily dismissed. That's why it's essential for us to build a clear understanding of these conditions: How lifestyle factors can influence them, and when it's time to seek expert care. America's gynecologist, Dr Jen Ashton, joins me to break down these complex conditions. Helping you to feel more informed and empowered in your own body.

This week, I'm diving into a fascinating piece of research I spotted in The Week; a meta-analysis of 82 studies from University College London looking at how physical activity affects menstrual pain and PMS. The findings are striking: women who move less have a 67% higher risk of painful periods and a 22% higher risk of PMS symptoms.But this episode isn't just about the data, it's about how it intersects with real life. I'm sharing my own PCOS story, from being diagnosed at 17 and barely moving, to being 47, active, and experiencing far fewer symptoms. We'll also unpack the confused (and sometimes misleading) world of cycle-syncing advice online, including what's genuinely helpful and what's been oversimplified by social media.Plus, I'm talking about the growing role of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy: where they can fit into women's hormonal and metabolic health, and why it's not a choice between medication or movement. For many women, the two work beautifully together.Whether you experience period pain, PMS, PCOS, or you're simply curious about how movement and hormones overlap, this episode is all about giving you tools, not rules. Think of it as a realistic, compassionate look at women's health, packed with evidence, lived experience, and nuance.In this episode:The UCL study linking activity levels to menstrual pain and PMSMy PCOS journey: 17 vs 47What cycle syncing gets right, and very, very wrongWhy influencers and experts like Dr Stacy Sims and Dr Vonda Wright create both empowerment and confusionHow exercise supports hormones, mood, metabolism, and overall cycle healthA realistic approach to training across the menstrual cycleWhere GLP-1 medications fit into the pictureWhy movement is a powerful tool but never the only one.Hey!

Named one of the Top 2% Scientists in the World, Dr. Merhi is pioneering a new era of women's health—one where fertility, longevity, and regenerative medicine are deeply interconnected.

If you've ever been told to "just eat less and move more," or struggled with weight despite doing everything "right," this episode will validate your experience and challenge the harmful myths that still exist—even in medicine. In this deeply personal episode, I will share what happened when a colleague dismissed obesity as "lifestyle driven" rather than a chronic disease. Her response is a powerful reminder that this condition is far more complex than willpower. I will also open up about my own decades-long journey—including training for two full Ironmans and seven marathons—and why even with extreme dedication, I never reached a "normal" BMI. My story, combined with my clinical expertise, will reveal the biological, genetic, environmental, and social factors that make obesity a chronic disease affecting millions.   Episode Highlights: Why 40-70% of obesity cases are driven by genetics, not lifestyle choices The real struggles patients face: severe calorie restriction, exercising 6-7 days a week, and still not losing weight Medical conditions and medications that cause weight gain—from PCOS to antidepressants How food deserts, safety concerns, and financial barriers create obstacles beyond personal control Four practical ways to show compassion to someone living with obesity   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Hormone Health and HRT: Understanding the Truth Beyond Myths of Menopause with guest expert Dr. Sarah DacarrettThere is way too much confusion and misinformation circling around menopause right now. So, this episode cuts through the noise and gets you the answers you need. Right now.Hormones affect everything—your mood, sleep, energy, and more. And during menopause, things can get a little... wild.There's a lot of noise out there when it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and not all of it is trueIn this episode, you will learn:Impact of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on HRT perceptionsMisconceptions about HRT causing breast cancer—what science actually saysWhy early hormone health education is crucial before menopauseHormones as master regulators of overall health and agingWhen and why women should discuss HRT seriously with their doctorsHRT benefits for women undergoing menopause and perimenopauseSafety and use of vaginal suppository HRT for breast cancer survivorsSystemic nature of vaginal hormone delivery and its implicationsComparing patches, oral pills, and vaginal HRT: risks and benefitsBalancing risk versus benefit in hormonal treatments like birth controlThe concept of “post birth control syndrome” and its health impactsThe importance of patient informed consent and understanding treatment trade-offsRole of the breasts and uterus in hormone metabolism, beyond the liverIodine's role in hormone metabolism and managing breast and menstrual symptomsModern iodine deficiency compared to ancestral diets and its health consequences… And much more!ABOUT OUR GUEST EXPERT: Dr. Sarah Daccarett is dedicated to ensuring your symptoms are no longer mis-diagnosed or ignored.Dr. Dacarrett says, “In my mid-thirties after the birth of my son, my hormone levels never recovered.After trying every available product, I realized there were NO solutions specifically to meet the needs of younger women who want to feel young and vibrant again.I invented the Inner Balance protocol and Oestra because I needed it. I also realized that I wasn't alone - that hormone levels decline drastically in our 30s - NOT when our period stops in our 50s like we have been told.Women every day suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, postpartum depression, effects of birth control, hair loss, depression, fatigue, and a whole host of health problems due to low estrogen and progesterone.They are mis-diagnosed, mis-treated, or blown off as "just a part of being a woman", "just a part of aging", "you're too young", "you are normal," or even worse "you're just crazy."Meanwhile advancement in men's and transgender hormone replacement therapy is a decade ahead of women's. We think this is unacceptable, antiquated and marginalization of women.Women no longer have to settle for "normal" but rather they can feel exceptional - always."WEBSITE: https://www.innerbalance.com/INSTAGRAM: @sarahdaccarettmd****************************************SAY "NO MORE" TO TOXIC LAUNDRY - BUT YES TO FRESH SCENT WITHOUT HARMIt shocked me that our laundry rooms are often one of the most toxic places in our homes.After breast cancer, I began changing out my personal care and beauty but didn't even think about my cleaning supplies.For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk.

216 – Lara Briden – New insights into the hormonal root causes of PCOS by Amy Medling & Vinu Jyothi

What does it take to turn years of pain into a platform for power? We sit with nutritionist, trainer, and competitive bodybuilder Maria Beretta to unpack a journey that starts with teenage loss and spirals into chronic symptoms before snapping into clarity: if the system won't solve it, she will. Maria breaks down the real face of PCOS—cystic ovaries, acne, mood swings, insulin resistance—and the often-missed reality of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, where fragile connective tissue makes every step and lift a risk. Instead of accepting a handful of prescriptions, she chose a different map: keto to stabilize PCOS, a hard stop on dairy to cut inflammation, and targeted peptide therapy (BPC-157 and TB-500) to protect her training and speed recovery.The turning point isn't just biochemical. It's mindset. Maria explains how visualization, faith, and ruthless specificity shaped her prep for NPC figure—meal planning without drama, cardio without shortcuts, and posing that balances muscle with grace. She's candid about the sport's truths: the expense, the prevalence of PEDs at elite levels, and the monotony few see behind a 20-second stage moment. Then comes the plot twist: a New Year's Day car crash, a 40% T12 compression fracture, eight disc herniations, and traumatic scoliosis. With imaging to guide her and peptides to support healing, she made a careful, documented return to training and kept the pro card goal in sight.If you're navigating PCOS management, EDS training modifications, anti-inflammatory nutrition, or peptide therapy for injury recovery, this conversation delivers practical detail and lived results. Maria's approach—test, adjust, measure—turns “motivation” into method. We also get real about the mental side: how to set goals that grip you, rehearse the win, and keep going when doctors or doubt say stop. Tap play for a blueprint you can use, whether you're chasing a pro stage, a pain-free day, or your next personal best.If this episode moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more listeners find conversations like this.

Kelley, a Woven client and Mental Health Counselor, joined me today to talk about her journey working with Woven Natural Fertility Care to make sense of her cycles and the effects of PCOS, but the conversation took a truly meaningful turn as we talked about the significance of understanding our mental, physical, and spiritual creation and how that impacts how we understand our female design. It was so rich that we've broken the episode into two parts so you wouldn't miss out on it. We explore the role of faith, the impact of mental health, the daily effects of irregular cycles, and more in this episode. It's a must-listen! In today's episode, we focus more on the mental health affects and spiritual benefits of cycle charting.NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.HELPFUL RESOURCES:Ep. 15: Dealing with fertility-focused anxiety, with Ashley Yeager, LCSWEp. 101: Medical trauma in fertility with Rebecca Henderson, LCSWFertility Trauma Resource from Woven Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Patient advocate and author Irene Tanzman discusses her article "A mother's question about PCOS and her son's autism." Irene shares her personal journey as a mother to a son with severe autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), exploring the challenging but necessary questions about the link between maternal PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), the modern metabolic crisis, and fetal neurodevelopment. Irene advocates for looking "upstream" at maternal health before conception, questioning if fertility treatments are addressing the underlying hormonal environment needed for optimal development. This episode dives into the realities of caregiving for severe autism, the need for better pre-conception support for women with PCOS, and the urgent call for a broader, more honest public health conversation. Learn why exploring maternal metabolic health is a critical, compassionate step toward understanding autism. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Send us a textIn this week's Life of Love, Julie welcomes integrative health practitioner and high-achieving-woman, Chelsea McLeod. Together they pull back the curtain on the divine feminine, hormone health, and how to listen when your body is whispering (or screaming) for a different way.Chelsea shares her personal story of overachieving, chronic stress, a traumatic family event, and finally being diagnosed with PCOS and type 2 diabetes in her 20s — then choosing a path of true healing instead of numbing. She and Julie explore how our culture trains women to hang their worth on output, ignore their cycles, and normalize symptoms that are actually big hormonal red flags. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}You'll hear about:- Chelsea's journey from competitive athlete and corporate hustler to hormone healer- Why 4 out of 5 women may be dealing with hormonal imbalance without realizing it- Symptoms that are common **but not normal**: night waking, crazy PMS, bloating, hair loss, constipation, anxiety, feeling “fluffy,” infertility diagnoses, and more- How our industrial food system, chemicals, and seed oils quietly disrupt your hormones- The simple practice of becoming a “package turner” and reading labels with discernment- Easy daily tracking to understand your hormones:  - energy check-ins through the day  - mood swings  - sleep quality and 2–3 a.m. wakeups  - menstrual cycle patterns- How heart rate variability and resting heart rate can reflect your stress resilience- Using the phases of your cycle to guide workouts, social plans, and productivity (instead of fighting yourself)- Honoring your bleed, seeing menstruation as sacred, and bringing ritual back into everyday life- What it looks like to claim your divinity and step out of survival mode as a sovereign woman**Key Takeaways**- It's not you being “lazy” or “dramatic” — it's often your hormones trying to get your attention.  - Common symptoms are not the same as *normal*. Your body is designed to feel good.  - Healing hormones is a skill set, not a quick fix. You can learn it over time.  - Your cycle is one of your greatest superpowers once you know how to work with it.  - Resting, especially around your bleed and in your luteal phase, is not weakness — it's strategy.  - You don't have to burn yourself out to be valuable. Your divinity doesn't depend on your productivity.**Favorite Quotes**- “Women don't need more hacks, we need habits and skills.” – Chelsea  - “No, you don't ‘fix' your hormones. You *heal* your hormones.” – Julie  - “Sometimes we need to ritualize the mundane to reconnect with our feminine energy.” – Chelsea  - “No one else is going to crown you. Your divinity is yours to claim.” – Julie  If this conversation lands in your heart, that's your sign.

This is a Fan Fav episode. It's becoming more and more evident there are a host of things women are dealing with that not only destroy our bodies, but they also destroy our confidence and ability to show up and go as hard as we want. Dr. Gabrielle Lyons, a functional medicine physician and muscle-centric advocate for metabolic health and longevity, shares startling data that 73% of people are either overweight or obese. If you're a woman dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and gut issues, chances are you are absolutely struggling with your weight. This episode is for you today if you've been fixated and obsessing over cutting calories, doing more cardio, and resorting to starving during the day only to binge eat at night. Let's be honest, there's a bunch of crap being marketed to us and deciphering reliable information from BS myths and none-evidence-based beliefs shared from ulterior motives and political agendas is making a lot of people feel hopeless, overwhelmed and confused. Let's end that crap right here. Key areas of re-information we're focusing on in this episode include: Cycles of crash dieting are absolutely destroying your health Move away from the fat phobic model to an empowering muscle centric model  Health at any size is devastating people and is not that same as loving yourself Follow Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: Website: ⁠https://drgabriellelyon.com/⁠  YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPQJeWz4pvccA3lIoZ7j1Q⁠  Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/drgabriellelyon⁠  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/⁠  Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon/⁠  Podcast: ⁠https://drgabriellelyon.com/podcast/⁠  Original air date: 3-13-23 CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to ⁠https://www.vitalproteins.com⁠ and entering promo code WOI at check out.  SleepMe: Visit ⁠https://sleep.me/woi⁠ to get your Chilipad and save 20% with code WOI.
