Same.In this quick hit solo episode, I'm talking straight to my fellow perimenopausal moms. If you're in that messy middle of shifting from school-year structure to summer chaos—and trying to make sense of all the conflicting wellness advice—you are 1000% not alone.We were raised on “you can have it all.” But no one warned us that “all” might include brain fog, joint pain, sleep gone rogue, and still trying to show up for your people and yourself without falling apart.This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing perfect and start choosing what actually matters.We dive into: 

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!   In this video, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down common misconceptions about hormone testing and treatment during perimenopause — including why many influencers and physicians get it wrong. From the misuse of expensive boutique tests like the Dutch test, to the dangers of suppressive hormone therapies without proper lab monitoring, Dr. McCarthy explains the science behind hormone fluctuations, why labs do provide valuable insights, and the importance of individualized care. Learn why ignoring hormone labs isn't just lazy — it's harmful — and how true, affordable care should prioritize your unique hormonal balance, not profits. If you're navigating perimenopause, this video offers critical clarity on your options and what you truly deserve from your healthcare provider.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he's been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices.

I’m joined by Neal Mercado, Chief Science Officer at Melrose, one of Australia’s leading wellness brands and the team behind Melrose Future Lab. Neal leads a thought-provoking conversation on ageing, vitality, and the science behind what really works. We unpack the difference between lifespan and health span—because it’s not just about living longer, but living well. From cellular senescence to musculoskeletal strength, we look at ingredients leading wellness conversations and the future of longevity science. Neal also lifts the lid on supplement quality, why not all extracts are created equal, and explains the concept of bioavailability to actually move the needle. If you’re navigating perimenopause, curious about longevity, embarking on strength training, or trying to make sense of the supplement aisle, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make informed, future-focused choices. In partnership with Melrose Future Lab. Key Takeaways: Health span means more years lived well, not just longer Cellular senescence (aka “zombie cells”) reduces function as we age Berberine can support healthy blood glucose and AMPK activation Quality matters: not all herbal extracts or proteins are created equal Collagen, especially bovine-derived, supports muscle health Strength training is essential for bone density in menopausal women Supplement bioavailability is as important as the ingredients themselves Innovative formulations are changing how we absorb nutrients Menopause research is decades behind other women’s health areas Perimenopausal women benefit from tailored support and active nutrients Intermittent fasting and autophagy support cellular repair Effective supplements are about formulation—not fads Chapter: 00:00 – The Importance of Health Span vs Longevity03:05 – Understanding the Hallmarks of Ageing05:58 – Cellular Mechanisms of Ageing and Longevity09:12 – The Role of Supplements in Ageing Well11:59 – Berberine: A Key Player in Longevity15:02 – Navigating the World of Supplements18:02 – The Future of Health and Wellness26:32 – Musculoskeletal Health and Ageing34:00 – Innovations in Formulation and Bioavailability38:01 – Addressing Menopause and Perimenopause45:23 – The Importance of Formulation Over Ingredients Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/i65uno_HZQoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a must-listen for every woman—whether you're navigating your first period, deep into perimenopause, or supporting someone who is. I'm joined by menstrual health educator Heather Allmendinger, who sheds light on a topic that should be taught in every school: menstrual cycle literacy.

Episode #202 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I'm curious if TFM intends or would consider a ‘fasting-mimicking protocol' to be published for its members, possibly a TFM Quick Guide? [01:22] When I fast I find that I have trouble falling and staying asleep. Is it the hunger increasing my cortisol or the effect of ketones? What are your thoughts on valerian or kava tea to help with fasting insomnia? [02:54] What's the latest research on autophagy? [05:12]  What does research say about the relationship between the HDL/Triglycerides ratio and high coronary calcium scores? And, in general, what does the scientific literature say about potential interactions between statins and fasting regimens? [07:00]  There is a hormonal cascade where our sex hormones are made from cholesterol. We know from member stories that female hormones become balanced on alternate day fasting regimen. In those success cases, how does alternate-day fasting affect the hormonal cascade so that it starts working properly again? [12:59] I was recently reading research that suggests that moderate weight gain during menopause, particularly in lean women, may offer a degree of protection against cardiovascular disease, due to the increased production of adipose-tissue-derived estrogen, which can partially compensate for the decline in ovarian estrogen levels following menopause. What are your thoughts on this? [15:27] Why might weight loss stall during a multi-day fast, even when following an extended-fasting protocol with proper hydration, electrolytes, and exercise? What factors could influence the rate of weight loss, and how can one determine if adjustments are needed? [19:02] Is there a problem with lowering metabolic rate during fasting? Do I need to worry about this? [21:13] The RR interval typically refers to the time between consecutive R waves in an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) and is a fundamental measurement in heart rate variability (HRV). Has the RR interval been studied in diagnosing gastroparesis, specifically for diabetes?

  "With the right training, nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and the power of the mind, women in their fifties and beyond can still [accomplish amazing feats] . . . women prove every day that our best years can be ahead of us no matter how old we are now . . . you've accumulated hard-earned wisdom and power over the years. You're higher on the totem pole of life. There are countless opportunities that lie ahead." —Dr. Stacy Sims, phD, International exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist The beautiful gift of stepping into another year of life is that we have the opportunity, but not the promise, to enjoy the application of wisdom learned along the way. As someone who lives with awareness and pays attention to the reality of life, we know that our bodies need to be taken care of properly so that they can take care of us. Knowing how our bodies change as we age is crucial to knowing how to give it the care it needs for optimal quality of living. Which brings me to a reality that Dr. Stacy T. Sims, an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, pointed out in a recent interview on The Mel Robbins podcast (listen here), the majority, and arguably supermajority of all fitness studies and how the body responds to exercise for weight loss and strength building has been done with men as their test subjects, and the few studies that did involve women, were women who were pre-menopausal age. In fact, she points out in her latest book Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause that in a 2019 study published by the Mayo Clinic Proceedings "found that of 177 resident physicians in family medicine, internal medicine, and even obstetrics/gynecology who were surveyed, 20 percent received zero lectures on menopause during their training. Fewer than 7 percent reported feeling prepared to help manage the care of women through their menopausal years." However, thankfully, awareness and discussion and knowledge are being more readily shared thanks to many high profile individuals - Michelle Obama, Oprah, Naomi Watts, Halle Berry, Katie Couric, Maria Shriver and more. What is most important is understanding what we can do and how it will benefit us not only in the short-term but in the long-term. And as someone who has been active all of my life, and now am at the age of 46, I began to realize I need to learn more about what I can do to keep my body strong, reduce the symptoms and continue to enjoy working out while seeing results. That is why I was thrilled to be introduced to Dr. Stacy Sims, and I have a long-time TSLL reader and member to thank for this - Janet M. Janet sent me the link to the Mel Robbin's podcast episode with Dr. Stacy Sims that essentially just blasts so many myths out of the water about how to eat, workout and think about what we do to ourselves as women as we step into the perimenopausal and then postmenopausal period of our life, which is the rest of our life - we think we need to eat less and work out more and the exact opposite is true. I cannot tell you how refreshing, validating and inspiring that episode was, so I encourage you to listen to it so you can meet Dr. Stacy Sims and get an introduction to what we're going to talk about today and why I highly recommend picking up her latest book Next Level. With all of that said, I have simultaneously been reading a book about how to strengthen our memory to do all that we can, whatever our age, to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's, and what I discovered, which will not likely surprise you, is that so much of what we can do for our physical health that will also benefit our brain health and strong memory. So today's episode is the episode that will share with you 17 specific life habits, practices and approaches to keep both your body and mind healthy for the rest of our lives, specifically dedicated to women as we move through perimenopause, then menopause (which is essentially one day), and the postmenopause which will be for the rest of our lives. Why not discover how to thrive and enjoy this awesome time of our lives because as a favorite quote of my shares, "The climax of the story always occurs in the second act. It's the best part." as written for the dramatized show Julia about Julia Child. The other reason I wanted to bring this episode to you is because the more we talk about and celebrate and model how to live amazingly through this inevitable change, we destigmatize what has been for centuries seen as a negative along the journey of womanhood. No longer! And that can only change with women - the words we use, how we talk about it, how we live, etc. The mindset we bring, the attitude, the wisdom, the support, it will all make a powerful difference that not only will help each of us, but those around us and those who will arrive into the latter half of their life after us undaunted and eager to do so because of the women who came before who refused to be seen as less-than or a incapable of achieving amazing things. ~Find the Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Life blog — https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast402

“I had two choices. Either give up what I love to do or look for a new path and figure it out.” - Dr. Carrie PaglianoFrom the newborn months to the teen years, modern motherhood is crazy busy for most of us. Juggling children's needs, managing our careers, and carrying the mental load often means living in a state where we need not only physical rest, but activities that help with neurologic rest and nervous system regulation.As health care professionals, we can facilitate that. By collaborating with your clients to help them clarify their vision and goals, you can refine your recommendations down to the most efficient and necessary things that will make a significant difference to their lives. Guiding your clients through our overly complicated healthcare system and pointing them in the right direction for sub-specialists can be the key to achieving the patient outcomes you want. She wants to feel well, and you get to be a part of making that happen, no matter where you are on her team.In this episode, Dr. Carrie and I discuss the often-overlooked complexities of returning to fitness after childbirth, navigating the physical changes that accompany perimenopause and menopause, the importance of integrating orthopedics and sports medicine with women's health, the necessity of a holistic and proactive approach to care, empowering women through education and support, the value of strength training, the role of hypermobility in pelvic floor health, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/running-while-postpartum-and-perimenopausal-with-dr-carrie-pagliano/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

Angela talks to Leslie Kenny, about the fascinating world of longevity and health optimisation. Leslie, a renowned expert in the field, shares her personal journey of reversing her biological age to 21 at the age of 59, focussing upon the importance of a multifactorial approach to aging that includes diet, movement, sleep, and social connection. Together Angela and Leslie discuss the often-overlooked significance of sleep and social interactions, as well as the role of the microbiome in health. Leslie also introduces the powerful compound spermidine, found in various plant-based foods, and its benefits for autophagy, immune health, and even hair pigmentation KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on diet, movement, sleep, and social connection to optimise health and longevity. Prioritising sleep is particularly crucial for reducing risks associated with Alzheimer's and dementia. Each individual has a unique microbiome influenced by their ancestry, which affects how they process different foods. Identifying and removing personal dietary "kryptonite" (foods that trigger negative responses) while incorporating beneficial foods is essential for optimal health. This compound, found in various plant-based foods, activates autophagy, a cellular renewal process. Increasing spermidine intake can support gut health, immune function, and even hair pigmentation by promoting the growth phase of hair follicles. Fasting can have different effects on men and women, particularly during perimenopause. Women may experience negative hormonal changes and stress responses from prolonged fasting, making it essential to find alternative ways to stimulate autophagy, such as through spermidine supplementation. BEST MOMENTS "Aging is a multifactorial problem, so it needs to be solved with a multifactorial approach. Focus on these four pillars: diet, movement, sleep, and social connection." "The more plants we can get into our diet, the better, both for fiber and because there are lots of polyphenols... spermidine activates that cell renewal process known as autophagy." "The greater the diversity of the gut biome, the healthier the person is, the more resilient the microbiome is and able to respond to challenges." "When we think about fasting... it isn't always suitable for women, particularly those in high-stress jobs or going through perimenopausal transition."

Refusing to accept this prognosis, she transformed her health by eliminating inflammatory triggers and supporting her body’s natural healing. Now 59, she has the biological age of 21, is autoimmune disease-free, and naturally conceived at 43. Empowered by her health journey, she returned to school, became a certified Bulletproof coach and began working with Oxford University scientists, helping them raise funding for their groundbreaking research. In a meeting with Professor Katja Simon, she discovered spermidine, a powerful, natural compound dubbed as an “anti-aging vitamin” and found to “delay aging in humans” through its ability to activate autophagy (cell renewal) and target key aging pathways. Recognizing its potential, she founded Oxford Healthspan, launching Primeadine®, a plant-derived spermidine supplement, with the highest quality, Japanese ingredients and the backing of top scientific and clinical advisors. She also collaborated with University of Oxford academics to co-found a non-profit organization, called the Oxford Longevity Project, dedicated to educating the public on easy, actionable ways to improve their healthspan and longevity. oxfordhealthspan.com lesliesnewprime.com oxfordlongevityproject.org https://www.instagram.com/oxfordhealthspan/ https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://www.instagram.com/oxfordlongevityproject/ ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Andrea J. Singer, MD, FACP, CCD and Michael R. McClung, MD review the preservation of bone health in perimenopausal women, with a particular focus on the role of hormone therapy and how the interplay of hormonal, lifestyle, and genetic factors is key to developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Nadia says “  navigating your 40s is a powerful opportunity for transformation, yet many women feel held back by hormonal changes and societal expectations of perimenopause. It's crucial to cut through the noise of "should's" and "can'ts", understanding that embracing change is the real key to unlocking vibrant energy and feeling your best. Empowerment comes from recognising that you don't need to be victimised by the shifts your body is going through; instead, you can redefine this time as one of growth and renewal.  Living well in your 40s and beyond is about sustaining joy, fun, and energy through a balanced lifestyle. This isn't a time for sacrifice but for embracing a long-term path that's enjoyable and fulfilling.

This episode is a must-listen for women seeking to optimize their fertility, manage perimenopausal symptoms, and gain deeper insights into their menstrual health.Key takeaways:The importance of balancing estrogen with progesterone for reproductive and overall health.Ovulatory disturbances are common and adaptive but need attention when persistent.Perimenopausal symptoms are often linked to fluctuating estrogen levels and insufficient progesterone.Regular ovulation predicts better bone, heart, and lifelong health.Progesterone therapy effectively reduces menopausal symptoms like night sweats and sleep disturbances.Dr. Jerilynn Prior Bio: Jerilynn C. Prior is a 40+ year University of British Columbia Endocrinology Professor. An award-winning Clinician-Scientist (Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, 2019), her innovative concepts are changing women's reproduction.

Prior is an internationally recognized thought leader on menstrual cycles, ovulation, perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis prevention and night sweats treatment with an H-Index of 75.

No matter how many times we hear it.. When our hormones begin to shift, it can still feel like no one prepared you for what's coming.  I'll never forget the moment I realized I was officially in perimenopause:  At 44, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, bouts of rage I couldn't explain, and the exhaustion of crawling through mud just to get through the day.  As someone who has supported thousands of women through midlife transitions, I knew exactly what was happening—and yet, I wasn't prepared for how destabilizing it would feel. That's why in this week's solo episode, I'm sharing the advice I wish I could have given my younger self—practical tools and insights to help you thrive in this transformative season. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Recognize the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of early perimenopause. Reclaim the belief that you deserve to feel good—and how to make it happen. Build rituals that bring more joy, energy, and presence into your daily life. Set fierce boundaries and let go of what no longer serves you. Use this window of opportunity to lay the foundation for your healthspan and longevity. It's time to leave the fog behind and start creating a midlife you love.  Tune in now for all the answers you need to get there!  Visit podcast page: https://drmariza.com/episode609 IN THIS EPISODE The first signs of perimenopause you may not expect. Why cycle changes aren't the only clue and how to identify the early shifts. Why “you deserve to feel good” should become your daily mantra. Simple ways to punctuate your day with joy and nourishment. The power of walking in nature. How this one habit boosts mood, stabilizes blood sugar, and sets the foundation for longevity.

Yet, it's a beautiful reminder to punctuate your day with things that nourish you—physically, emotionally, and spiritually." "Movement is life. The more we move our bodies throughout the day, the more we win the game of life—especially during perimenopause, a window of opportunity to support our muscles, metabolism, and overall health." "Let go of the people, projects, and obligations that no longer serve you. This isn't just freeing—it's essential. Fierce boundaries are the name of the game in this season of life."

Have you been on the fence about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and unsure which—if any—options are even right for you?  You're not alone. And you don't have to navigate it blindly. In this week's podcast, we're diving straight into what most doctors aren't telling women about HRT.  Whether it's static versus cyclic dosing, the benefits of bioidentical hormones, or how to get the most out of progesterone and estrogen… Certified hormone expert Karen Martel is here to help you cut through the confusion. She's revealing why the one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for hormone therapy, especially during perimenopause and menopause. And how you can tailor HRT to meet your specific needs.  Together, we'll uncover the pros and cons of different HRT options, ways to maximize your body's natural rhythm, and essential questions to ask your practitioner to get real results. If you've been waiting for clarity and confidence to make your decision around HRT… Tune in now to finally get those answers and much more! Visit podcast page here: https://drmariza.com/episode605 IN THIS EPISODE Why static vs. cyclic hormone dosing matters, and why static doses may not work for everyone.

QUOTES “The reality is that most practitioners aren't trained in bioidentical hormones, yet they're the ones deciding what's ‘safe' or ‘effective.' They're making calls about our hormones without really understanding what women actually need.” “Hormone therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Every woman deserves options that are tailored to her unique body, especially through perimenopause and menopause.” “Don't let anyone dictate what you should feel during perimenopause. Test, experiment, and advocate for yourself—it's your life, your body, and your hormones.” “Women are often afraid of hormone replacement, but bioidentical hormones are identical to what our bodies naturally make.

If you're nodding your head or counting on both hands the number of times you snapped at a loved one this week, you're not alone!   According to a recent study of 40,000 perimenopausal and menopausal women, nearly 60% reported severe anxiety or depression!!!   Another study reports that one in three of all women going to their doctor for mood swings or other mood-related symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are offered anxiety medication as the sole solution.   The problem is: If you're in your mid-30s to mid-50s, the irritability, anxiety, or anger you're feeling is likely not just “in your head”; it's in your hormones.   And while SSRIs may sometimes help, they can often just be a bandaid for other hormonal symptoms that will only continue to worsen over time.   So what can you do to ease your anxiety without drugs, doctors (or divorce?)   Join me for today's episode as we unpack:   The root cause of perimenopausal and menopausal anxiety   Why your anxiety medication isn't working…or is no longer working   Whether oral contraceptives can help balance hormone-related mood swings   Plus, 5 tips to reduce your anxiety, naturally   If you're 1 in 4 women in perimenopause through post-menopause dealing with anxiety, intense mood swings, or personality changes, this episode is for you!   — Next Steps:   Take my FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/HormoneSelfAssessment   Book a FREE Hormone Clarity Call: https://bit.ly/HCprecall   Shop my Favorite Hormone Balancing Supplements And Save 5% or More on Every Order (Enter promo code EUQ1741): https://www.iherb.com/me/HormoneBalance   EP 8 | Do Hormone Balancing Supplements Work?: https://pod.fo/e/233fc7   EP 9 | Six Warning Signs Your Supplements for Menopause and Perimenopause Might Be a Scam: https://pod.fo/e/237907   EP 14 | Is Estrogen Dominance Causing Your Hormonal Weight Gain? 3 Quick Tips To Move The Scale: https://pod.fo/e/23e32f   EP 15 | Hypothyroidism And Weight Gain: 3 Healthy Hacks To Help Shed Those Extra Pounds: https://pod.fo/e/240c5f   EP 17 | The Hidden Cause of Hormonal Weight Gain in Women Over 40: Adrenal Fatigue: https://pod.fo/e/24389   EP 20 | Menopause, Sleeping Problems, and Post Menopausal Weight Gain: Is Low Estrogen to Blame?: https://pod.fo/e/248b3b   Become A Podcast Insider: https://areyoutheremidlife.com/   Email Me: monica@monicalanetopete.com   *Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Hey friend,   Today, we are taking a trip back in time.. going deep inside the podcast vault to revisit my very first episode of the pod: Ep. #1: “How Do I Know If I'm in Perimenopause?”   If you already listened to this episode in March, I'm resharing this episode for TWO VERY IMPORTANT REASONS: 1.) First, I'm launching a brand new series of the podcast this month where I'll be taking a deep dive into more than 26 perimenopause and menopause symptoms–from Anxiety to Zits…and all the letters of the alphabet in between. And in order to get the MOST out of this series, I want to make sure you have a basic understanding of perimenopause, how it relates to its older sister, menopause, and how you can be sure if YOU'RE really going through it. 2.) Second, perimenopause can be difficult to diagnose. If you've ever had a visit with your doctor and brought up the “possibility” of perimenopause…and he looked back at you like that time your husband forgot your birthday…ya know what I'm talking about.:) Not only are most doctors ill-equipped to treat patients in perimenopause, but there are a lot of other health issues that start to emerge right around the same age. And since there's no ONE test to diagnose perimenopause, doctors can't be sure whether your symptoms are due to a shift in your hormones…or something else entirely. This episode is so important, it's worth repeating!   So, in today's flashback episode, I'm getting SUPER vulnerable and sharing with you my personal hormone story, as well as walking you through three tell-tale signs that you're in perimenopause.   In this episode you will learn:   What age does perimenopause start?   How long does perimenopause typically last?   Perimenopausal spotting and perimenopausal periods: What to expect   Perimenopause and birth control: How synthetic hormones affect your body's natural transition   Plus: What are the most common perimenopausal symptoms?   Whether you just back home from a vacation where you completely fell off the healthy eating wagon, OR you're feeling the effects of a little “too much” summer fun…and you're not quite done yet...this episode is for you!   If you've got a laundry list of hormonal symptoms…and a copy of your latest lab results that says, “Everything is normal,” grab a notepad and just push play. — Next Steps:   Take my FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/HormoneSelfAssessment   Book a FREE Hormone Clarity Call: https://bit.ly/HCprecall   Shop my Favorite Hormone Balancing Supplements And Save 5% or More on Every Order (Enter promo code EUQ1741): https://www.iherb.com/me/HormoneBalance   Become A Podcast Insider: https://areyoutheremidlife.com/   Email Me: monica@monicalanetopete.com   *Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

When Miranda July entered her early forties, she noticed a grim feeling emerge. “It wasn't coming from me,” she said, “I guess it came from this lack of imagery, or stories, or even just basic medical information about what was going to happen next with my body.” The dearth of information and near absence of cultural mythology about perimenopause and menopause became the catalyst for her novel All Fours, which came out in May and quickly became a New York Times bestseller.  In this episode, Miranda talks about the unease that inspired the book and speculates about what the future could look like if more people openly discussed this crucial chapter of life. We also hear from listeners who share their experiences with perimenopause and menopause.  The interview with Miranda was recorded live in San Francisco for City Arts & Lectures.
