In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including: ✅ What hormones should women check during perimenopause? ✅ Is there a best time or day to get hormones tested? ✅ What's the best way to test hormones — blood, saliva, or urine? ✅ What's the difference between “normal” vs “optimal hormone levels”? ✅ What do my hormone test results mean? ✅ What should I do if my doctor won't order hormone tests? If you've ever asked, “Why is my hormone bloodwork 'normal' when I feel terrible?”—this episode connects the dots between your symptoms and your lab results. — NEXT STEPS: Reboot your energy, balance your mood, and move the scale on stubborn weight gain!

Let's be real…there's so much noise out there about what women "should" eat during perimenopause. From cutting carbs to loading up on protein shakes to "balancing your hormones" with some magic supplement. It's EXHAUSTING and CONFUSING. In this episode, I'm cutting through the clutter and breaking down the 5 biggest nutrition myths about perimenopause so you can finally feel confident about how to nourish your body. Here's what we're diving into: why dieting to lose belly fat is one of the worst things you can do for your metabolism (and what actually helps), how much protein you really need to support muscle and energy, and the truth about carbs (yes, they belong on your plate). I'll also walk you through what's actually worth your money when it comes to supplements, and why calcium pills aren't the miracle we've been told they are. Then we'll get into the fun stuff…how soy, fiber, and omega-3 fats can work with your body to ease symptoms, support your heart and brain, and help you feel more balanced overall. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear, simple picture of what your body really needs in this season. No dieting, no tracking, no nonsense. Just smart, evidence-based guidance for perimenopause and menopause through the lens of intuitive eating.

“Perimenopause isn't just about hot flashes and night sweats. It's about the brain.” - Dr. Jessica DrummondBrain fog, anxiety, and mood swings are among the most common and frustrating symptoms for women in perimenopause and menopause. At the same time, they're also the most misunderstood. For too many of us, these symptoms are brushed off as stress or just part of getting older when in reality, they reveal the deep connection between hormonal changes, neuroinflammation, and the brain's resilience during midlife.For practitioners, we have to embrace this critical shift in perspective. When your clients describe cognitive fog, forgetfulness, irritability, or rage that feels new to them, it's about their hormones, nervous systems, and lived experience. The midlife brain is sensitive to fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, as well as to chronic stress, past head injuries, viral inflammation, and gut health imbalances. Recognizing how these systems interact is key to building care plans that work in the real world.Today, I'm walking you through a case study of a 46-year-old client navigating brain fog, migraines, anxiety, and mood changes layered on top of long COVID, a concussion history, and chronic stress. Using the IWHI MAPS Framework and our Seven-Step System, I'll show you how we connect the dots between hormones, inflammation, and nervous system regulation — and how you can best support cognitive healing in women who feel like they've lost their edge. You'll also learn why low progesterone can amplify anxiety and insomnia, how estrogen fluctuations affect cerebral blood flow and migraines, and how to use structured, trauma-informed systems to guide women like this from overwhelm to clarity.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/helping-clients-with-brain-fog-anxiety-and-mood-changes-in-perimenopause-menopause/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

“At some point, feeling good wins over old thoughts.” –VJ HamiltonStruggling with autoimmune disease — or uncomfortable symptoms that you've just learned to live with? What if you could reverse your symptoms? I'm so excited to talk with VJ Hamilton, registered nutritionist and a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in autoimmune disease.I was diagnosed with celiac disease fairly late in life. When I was diagnosed, it just made so much sense and explained so many things. It also led to change. And that can be hard to navigate on your own.Perimenopause and menopause symptoms and those of autoimmune diseases — like brain fog, joint aches, and fatigue — can be signs of both. Plus shifts in hormones can certainly trigger changes or unmask hidden inflammation. Testing and treatment can help.We talk about: Autoimmune disease 101 — what we're actually talking aboutTriggers vs. root causes and how to find the root causeHow to advocate for yourself with doctors and what other practitioner you might want to seeSimple changes you can make to improve your healthFocus not on what you have to cut out for food or what exercise you have to do, but what you need and what you likeEating whole foods instead of prepared meals and how to navigate restaurants and special eventsABOUT VJVJ Hamilton is the founder of The Autoimmunity Nutritionist and an expert in autoimmune disease, specialising in skin disorders, chronic fatigue, joint health, and digestive issues for both men and women.As a Registered Nutritionist with a Medical Science degree (BSc) in Biochemistry & Immunology and having completed the full certification programme at the renowned Institute for Functional Medicine, VJ uses evidence-based nutritional therapies to support her clients in transforming their health.LINKShttps://theautoimmunitynutritionist.com/https://www.instagram.com/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don't get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: MAKE A LIST OF THINGS YOU LOVE TO DO. Changing your lifestyle doesn't have to be terrible! Make a list of things you love to do. Ways you like to be active, rest, connect with others. Make a list of things that make you feel good! Plan for more of those things in your life. That might look like swapping dancing for a gym session or eating food that gives you energy or going to bed on time.RESET IDEAS AROUND FOOD. Here are a few ways to try this Doable Change. First, instead of asking, “What do I have to cut out?” think about what foods you can...

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with Tori Poulter, CEO of Shala and host of The Complete Woman Podcast, to unpack one of the most important—and often misunderstood—topics for women today: perimenopause and the evolving seasons of womanhood.Together, we dive into:What's really happening in our mental, emotional, and physical bodies during these changesHow to approach this season not with fear, but with empowerment, self-compassion, and awarenessThe mindset, lifestyle, and holistic tools that help you thrive through hormonal and identity shiftsThis episode is for every woman navigating change—whether it's perimenopause, motherhood, career pivots, or rediscovering yourself in a new chapter.✨ Plus, we're thrilled to have Shala as a PowHER Retreat swag sponsor this year, gifting every guest their REVIVE12 product—a supplement created to support women's vitality and balance through every phase of life.Because when we understand our seasons, we can reclaim our PowHER in all of them.Check out all Shala products here: https://komigo.me/victoria_d324rh1z/shop/c/supplements

Menopause can scramble your mood, planning, memory, and appetite cues, especially if you're living with ADHD.  My guest this week is Diana Reid, RD and we dive into how shifting estrogen affects dopamine in the brain and why that can make meal planning feel impossible, grocery stores overwhelming, and evenings vulnerable to emotional hunger and snacking. Together, we map the hidden steps that turn “what's for dinner?” into a 30-step project and show how to lower the cognitive load and decision fatigue. Think forecasts instead of rigid schedules, two to three-day meal windows, and a “nutrition capsule wardrobe” you can refresh monthly for novelty. We also get real about dopamine seeking, emotional hunger, and the link between ADHD and binge patterns. The antidote isn't restriction, it's regulation and pleasure. Learn how to prevent primal hunger with predictable protein and fiber, add texture and heat for sensory satisfaction, and plan pleasure on purpose! If this conversation helps you feel seen, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more midlife listeners can find food freedom and confidence. Learn more about Diana at www.theglobaldietitian.com and on Instagram at theglobalrd.Like what you learned?

Before I knew about perimenopause, Steve had never even heard the word either. Like a lot of men (and women), it just wasn't on his radar until it started showing up in real time, through my body, emotions, and energy. And now, thankfully, medical professionals talking about it out loud. We talk about:What this season has looked and felt like from his perspectiveThe changes he's noticed in me and in our relationshipHow we keep the conversation open so he knows how to best support meWhy it's so important for couples to talk about this, even when it's uncomfortable or unknownThis episode is for anyone who's in or around this stage of life. You don't have to be in a relationship with someone going through it. It could be your mum, your sister, your aunt, your friend. Perimenopause doesn't just affect the person going through it. It affects the people around us too. And when we talk about it openly, it becomes something to navigate together.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowOne day retreat - check it outWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Perimenopause is confusing, frustrating, and way too misunderstood, even by some doctors. There's not enough clarity, and women are often left to navigate it on their own, sorting through conflicting advice and wondering what's normal, what's treatable, and what can be ignored. If men went through menopause, there'd be a pill, a treatment, and a full wellness plan for every symptom!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Have you ever had one of those conversations that starts so casual and ends up changing how you see everything? Stacy and Daynah talk about creating from a place of joy instead of productivity, learning to reframe overwhelm, and finding meaning in the messy overlap between science and soul. They explore intuition, belief, and the art of holding space for both logic and magic. And then Daynah shares a story so powerful it defies explanation - a real moment of intuition that changed everything she believed about coincidence, timing, and what connects us. By the end, they land on what might be the truest form of alchemy: choosing joy, staying curious, and finding wonder in the things we can't explain. 0:00 | Perimenopause brain and finding lost phones 3:00 | Overwhelm, reframing, and finding creative joy 6:00 | Joy as a form of wealth 8:00 | Indigenous roots of community and commerce 10:00 | Disney, feminism, and representation 17:30 | Respectful disagreement and conscious consumerism 19:00 | How to talk across political divides with empathy 25:00 | Astrology, intuition, and the science of energy 32:00 | Daynah's intuition story that defies explanation 40:00 | Processing trauma and the limits of what we can know 45:00 | Kindness, joy, and human connection as universal truths 47:00 | Introducing Mission Alchemists 55:00 | Candles, Enneagrams, and the art of creating something beautiful 57:00 | Wrap-up (and a tease for the bonus Taylor Swift episode) Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com missionalchemists.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Modern joint pain isn't just wear and tear—it's a systemic, metabolic disease that starts years before symptoms show. In this episode, you'll learn how inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, and immune imbalance trigger cartilage loss… and how to reverse it using targeted cytokine modulation, cellular regeneration, and smarter supplements for longevity and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Calroy Health Sciences.

Candace and OB-GYN Dr. Tabatha Barber go straight into one of the biggest mysteries of midlife: perimenopause. Together they unpack what menopause really is (one single day after 12 months without a period) and why today's hormonal chaos—hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, and “food noise”—often comes from stress, gut health, and toxins more than from age alone. Dr. Tabatha explains how cortisol, gut bacteria, and liver overload can throw the whole system off, while Candace opens up about her own journey toward balance and breaking the sugar cycle. The two also discuss renewing the mind with Scripture, practical toxin swaps, smarter lab work, and how to pursue fitness without letting it rule your identity.
