I have so many friends struggling with infertility or getting different fertility information from their doctors—”freeze your eggs, don't freeze your eggs, it's okay that you don't get your period, it's a warning sign”. Then I read Dr. Natalie Crawford's amazing book, The Fertility Formula, and I found out that there's a HUGE underlying cause of infertility that I've never heard anyone talk about.  So today, I'm fortunate to have on Dr. Natalie Crawford, a world renowned fertility doctor, a double board certified OBGYN, and author of The Fertility Formula, to clear things up. We're talking about exactly what to do in your 20s, 30s, and 40s for your fertility. And heads up—even if you don't want kids, your fertility is incredibly important for your overall health.  Whether you're trying to put yourself in the best possible position for the future you want, or you're trying to solve a problem, this episode is going to help, and you're going to get information you won't hear anywhere else.

Brian and Kristen return after completing their homework: mapping their recurring conflict pattern step-by-step. And something shifts. Instead of focusing on who's right, they begin identifying when the pattern starts, how it escalates, and where they might choose something different. They talk about having a “good week,” more laughter, and fewer misunderstandings—but Zach presses deeper: Was it luck, or was it intentional? What unfolds is a layered conversation about stress, chronic pain, medication changes, PMS, defensiveness, and the powerful internal story Brian carries that says, “If there's a problem, it must be me.” Zach helps them connect the dots between depression's lies, physiological stress, and how quickly neutral requests can turn into personal threat. The couple names their 10-step pattern openly—fight or flight, overthinking, mounting a defense, physical withdrawal—and begins experimenting with something new: interrupting the script before it reaches step six. This episode isn't about resolution. It's about pattern awareness and learning how to redirect before old muscle memory takes over. They close by identifying the next layer to explore in Episode 3: their over-functioner / under-functioner dynamic—and how it triggers deeper family-of-origin wounds. Key Takeaways A “good week” is often intentional, not accidental Externalizing the problem (“us vs. the schedule”) strengthens the team Physiological stress (sleep, pain, hormones, meds) directly impacts conflict Depression distorts perception and reinforces “I'm the problem” narratives Defensiveness often protects something deeply valuable Mapping a conflict pattern creates space for choice Interrupting the script—even once—builds momentum Repair matters more than resolution “Something new” is the antidote to “more of the same” Learn more about your ad choices.

SHOW NOTES: https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/blog/183 Fragrance is one of the most common endocrine disruptors in modern homes, and most women are exposed to it daily without realizing it. In this episode, we explain what “fragrance” actually means on ingredient labels and how synthetic scent chemicals can affect hormone balance, thyroid function, fertility, metabolism, and the nervous system. You'll learn how fragrance chemicals enter the body through inhalation and skin contact, why they can mimic estrogen, and how they may contribute to symptoms like PMS, infertility, migraines, anxiety, and stubborn weight gain. We also break down where fragrance hides, including laundry detergent, dryer sheets, candles, plug-ins, cleaning products, trash bags, and personal care items. If you've been searching for answers about endocrine disruptors, hormone imbalance, clean living, fragrance safety, thyroid health, or how to create a fragrance-free home, this episode will give you practical clarity without fear or overwhelm.

I'm recording this from a hotel room because that's where I live now. I keep hearing "AI" in every hotel conversation, so I pulled in Kevin Duncan, Executive Vice President, Product at Cendyn to talk about what actually works—especially at the front desk.

What's the worst that could happen if you just start taking a supplement, right? You already don't feel great, so something has to help… right? In this episode, I explain why that mindset often backfires, especially when it comes to hormones. I see this all the time: women taking "hormone balance" supplements, DIM, progesterone support, adrenal formulas, or detox products without testing first. The intention is good, but without knowing what your body actually needs, you can easily make symptoms worse instead of better. In this episode, I break down: Why supplements are not all the same (foundational vs targeted vs phase-specific) How taking the wrong supplement at the wrong time can worsen fatigue, anxiety, PMS, cycle issues, and sleep Why hormones require timing, balance, and sequencing, not random support How cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and neurotransmitters all interact and why treating one without the others often fails Why DIM is one of the most commonly misused hormone supplements (and how it can actually drive estrogen too low) How adrenal dysfunction can block progesterone support from ever "landing" Why liver detox, gut health, and hormone clearance matter just as much as hormone production Why hormones work on a negative feedback loop and why real change takes longer than 30 days I also explain why we use DUTCH testing to look at the full picture: Hormone production Hormone metabolism and pathways Cortisol rhythm Neurotransmitters Nutrient markers Testing allows us to answer the real questions: Is the issue production, processing, or clearance? Are adrenals driving hormone imbalance? Is your system overstimulated or suppressed? What phase of healing do you actually need right now? This is exactly why I created the Hormone Foundations Program. Inside the program, we: Test first with the DUTCH Complete Build a personalized, phase-based supplement and lifestyle plan Adjust support as your body moves through healing stages Retest to confirm progress (because numbers don't lie) Guide you for a full six months so changes actually stick If you've tried supplements before and felt worse, stalled out, or burned out, this episode is for you.

The masks are off. After five years and 200 episodes, we share our real names, real faces, and the real playbooks behind our careers—what worked, what didn't, and why we're changing how this community grows.We start with the origin story: two friends who turned lunch rants into a living archive of corporate survival. Anthony traces a winding path from QA to automation, into sales engineering and national architecture, before vaulting into marketing with a technical edge. Michael recounts a non-linear climb through Apple business sales and support into software engineering, then product management, where he learned to earn trust by knowing both the customer and the code.From there we get honest about the messy middle—blocked promotions due to rigid bands, the danger of cutting core expertise, and the decision points that demand courage. We break down why great sales engineers talk value, not features, and why the most effective PMs can test a beta, read a stack trace, and still explain decisions in plain English. We contrast startup scope with big-company prestige, exploring how wearing every hat accelerates learning, and how leading global product teams at a theme park changes how you think about friction, scale, and burnout.This isn't a highlight reel. It's a guide for navigating pivots, negotiating pay ceilings, moving from support to SE, or stepping from engineering into product without losing the plot. We share the CAC framework—culture, autonomy, challenge, compensation—to evaluate whether to stay, reshape, or go. And we open the door wider: more guests, more live streams, and more practical help shaped by your questions.If you've ever wondered how to choose the next move, get unstuck under a manager who blocks growth, or translate technical depth into career leverage, you'll find clear steps and real stories here.

What if the best way to lead product is to build it yourself first?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Chase Schwalbach, SVP of Product and Technology at Millie, to unpack a radically different approach to product leadership. Despite his title, Chase spent months as an IC, rolling up his sleeves to build healthcare infrastructure, teach himself AI eval systems, and ship a sophisticated patient chatbot, all before bringing his team in. He explains why shielding the team from early-stage messiness, moving at speed, and feeling the pain yourself leads to better products.They explore how Chase built a team of AI agents (supervisor + specialized sub-agents) from scratch, why treating prompts like deterministic code requires extreme precision, and how he taught himself evals through pure iteration. Plus, the converging worlds of PM and engineering, why technical PMs and product-minded engineers are becoming the same role, why handoffs kill velocity in an AI-native world, and what “context engineering” actually means when your codebase needs to work for both humans and AI agents.If you're a product leader wondering whether to get more hands-on, an engineer considering the jump to PM (or vice versa), or building AI systems in regulated industries like healthcare, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Tomás Goulart e Victor Ary debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, a semana começou com surpresa na eleição do Japão, com vitória expressiva do partido da primeira-ministra Sanae Takaichi, demonstrando sua popularidade e força para avançar numa agenda fiscal expansionista. Nos EUA, as vendas no varejo vieram abaixo do esperado, e o core da inflação veio em linha com a expectativa, apesar do headline um pouco mais baixo. Entretanto, o destaque foi o payroll, que trouxe contratações acima do esperado e recuo da taxa de desemprego. No Brasil, o IPCA de janeiro foi 0,33%, com aberturas ligeiramente piores, mas ainda dentro de um quadro considerado tranquilo para o início do ano. Os dados de PMS e PMC foram um pouco mais fracos que o esperado, mas sem alterar a expectativa de PIB. Novas pesquisas eleitorais mostraram avanço de Flávio Bolsonaro e redução de sua rejeição, enquanto Lula segue sem recuperar popularidade. O presidente do BCB, Gabriel Galípolo, gerou volatilidade ao mencionar “parcimônia e cautela”, posteriormente reiterando que o relevante é a comunicação oficial da entidade. No mercado de crédito, houve abertura de spreads em todos os segmentos. Apesar disso, parte relevante do movimento foi puxada por Raízen, após prejuízo trimestral e, principalmente, notícias não oficiais, mas bastante detalhadas, sobre possíveis reestruturações para a empresa, inclusive envolvendo credores. Nos EUA, o juro de 10 anos fechou 16 bps, e as bolsas tiveram desempenho negativo – S&P 500 -1,39%, Nasdaq -1,37% e Russell 2000 -0,89%. No Brasil, o jan/31 fechou 11 bps, o Ibovespa subiu 1,92% e o real caiu 0,07%. O iene japonês valorizou 3%. Na próxima semana, atenção ao IBC-Br no Brasil e ao PIB do quarto trimestre nos EUA.

I det här avsnittet av PMS-podden reflekterar jag och Victoria i vanlig ordning över vardagsfrustrationer, PMS-relaterade känslostormar och samhällsfenomen vi har svårt att förstå oss på. Vi börjar med klassisk pendlarpanik, irritationen över trafikkaos och bristen på parkering i storstaden. Vi pratar om det ständiga logistikkaoset när GPS:en sänder en fel och frustrationen när man får parkeringsböter trots att man tycker att man har gjort rätt.  Jag delar med mig av frustrationen kring PMS. Hur den påverkar mitt humör, min sömn, min hunger och hela vardagen. Det blir också ett försvarstal för körkort, bouquet av "icks", och varför vissa traditionella könsroller faktiskt kan kännas rätt. Vi gräver ned oss i kroppshets, viktnedgångsmediciner, hycklande budskap från influencerhåll och bristen på tydliga system i vården kopplat till övervikt och hälsa. Samtidigt lyfter vi vikten av att må bra för sin egen skull och att alla bör få känna sig bekväma i sin kropp, oavsett utseende. Om podden Fitnessprofilerna Josefin Pettersson och Victoria Tonnesen Persson samtalar om allt som hör begreppet "fitness" till. Oftast om träning, om kost, om tävling såklart, men även om livet utanför fitnessbubblan.

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we're diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause. I'm joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we're breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more. This episode is especially for you if you're in your 30s or 40s, feeling "off" in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle - and being told everything is "normal." Here's what we chat about: What perimenopause really is (and why it's an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment) The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don't tell the full story) Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing Breathwork techniques like the "physiological sigh" to calm anxiety in real time Everyday vagus nerve tools: humming, singing, grounding, and gentle movement How boundaries, asking for help, and reducing people-pleasing can literally improve your hormones Why heavy, painful, or irregular periods are not something you should ignore The role of protein, nourishment, and avoiding extremes with exercise and caffeine This episode is such a powerful reminder that your body isn't broken;  it's responding to the life you're living. And with the right tools, support, and awareness, you can move through perimenopause feeling calmer, stronger, more regulated, and more in tune with your body. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Perimenopause is not just about hormones, it's a metabolic transition that affects insulin sensitivity, gut health, stress tolerance, and long-term disease risk.In this episode, Cynthia Thurlow, board-certified nurse practitioner and functional medicine expert, explains how women's metabolism changes in midlife and why insulin resistance, poor stress resilience, and gut dysfunction often appear years before menopause.She breaks down how perimenopause can begin earlier than most women expect, why symptoms vary so widely, and how lifestyle factors like fasting, exercise intensity, sleep, alcohol, and chronic stress interact with hormones during this transition.Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women's health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Berkay is a UX researcher with over eight years of experience, mostly in e-commerce and banking, working across both B2B and B2C. He has a bachelor's and a master's degree in product design and design research. His focus is on turning research into actionable insights, improving research processes and helping teams make user-centered decisions. Basically, reducing uncertainty. He also co-founded UXR Playground, Turkey's leading UX platform, where he runs trainings, workshops and mentorship programs. In a past role, he built and led a ResearchOps team, creating systems to make research more efficient and scalable.In our conversation, we discuss:* The eight-step framework Berkay uses for smooth, ethical participant recruitment, built from actual interviews and field work.* Why many researchers are flying blind with recruitment and how junior researchers often end up as accidental call center reps.* The most common screw-ups in screener surveys and how to write questions that don't sabotage your study before it starts.* How Berkay built a participant panel inside a 30-million-user company without a budget, and with legal breathing down his neck.* Why most panels fall apart after setup, and what to actually prioritize if you want yours to last longer than three studies.Some takeaways:* Ethics aren't optional. If you're collecting personal data, you're responsible for what happens to it. Berkay shares how one company got sued after leaking participant emails. It's not a footnote, it's a risk. Build ethics and legal compliance into your process from day one, or you'll learn the hard way.* Most companies are bad at recruitment and fixing it takes more than tools. Berkay got so fed up with watching junior researchers waste hours cold-calling participants that he turned the whole thing into a research study. The findings? A total lack of structure, zero shared frameworks, and a ton of internal guesswork pretending to be process.* Bad screener surveys kill good research. Asking “Do you use this app?” is a great way to recruit liars. Berkay shares simple but smart ways to avoid bias in screeners like using multi-select questions, hiding the research topic, and adding duplicate questions to sniff out lazy responses.* Building a panel sounds smart until you have to maintain it. Setting up a panel is the easy part. The real challenge is keeping the data clean, staying GDPR-compliant, and making participants feel like they're still part of something. Regular outreach (like quarterly surveys) and strong ties to your data team are non-negotiable.* A good panel is a cross-team operation. Berkay didn't just build a landing page and hope for the best. He brought in product, customer support, PMs, and data science from the start. If you want a panel that works across research needs and methods, it has to be owned across the company too.Where to find Berkay:* LinkedInStop piecing it together.

This week I'm joined by Helen Morrissey, a massage therapist, reflexologist and oncology-trained therapist based in Tramore.We talk reflexology, how every part of your body is mapped on your feet.We talk lymphatic drainage, inflammation, recovery, energy, hormones and immune support.We talk oncology massage and creating a safe, relaxing space during cancer treatment.Helen shares how she went from working in Monaco luxury spas to building her own practice in Waterford, and how her own back injury made her truly believe in reflexology.If you're curious about:• PMS and bloating• Low energy and feeling run down• Post-surgery recovery• Inflammation and immune support• Or simply switching off properlyThis one's for you.

Why can one person drink coffee at night and sleep fine while another feels anxious and wired for 12 hours? Why do some people thrive on high-dose B vitamins while others spiral into panic and insomnia? Why does estrogen feel overwhelming for some but not others? The answer may lie in one powerful gene: COMT.In this episode of Wholistic Living, we break down the two COMT personality types and how they influence mood, stress response, sleep, hormones, and caffeine tolerance. Slow COMT is often the intense, driven, high-dopamine type. These individuals are focused and sharp but may be prone to anxiety, overthinking, insomnia, estrogen dominance, and caffeine sensitivity. Stress lingers in the system. Hormones feel stronger. B vitamins can overstimulate. Fast COMT is often the lower-dopamine, stimulation-seeking type. These individuals may feel less motivated or more fatigued and may rely on caffeine. They clear stress quickly but also clear dopamine quickly. Too many methyl donors like B9 and B12 can reduce dopamine even further and worsen low mood or lack of drive. In this episode, you will learn:How COMT regulates dopamine, adrenaline, and estrogen detoxWhy slow COMT can contribute to PMS, PMDD, histamine issues, and insomniaWhy fast COMT can affect motivation and moodHow methylated B vitamins influence each variant differentlyWhy caffeine tolerance is genetically influencedHow to structure your diet and lifestyle based on your COMT typeGenetics are not your destiny, but they are your blueprint.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In‑Ear Insights, one of the big changes announced very recently in Claude code—by the way, if you have not seen our Claude series on the Trust Insights live stream, you can find it at trustinsights. Christopher S. Penn: AI YouTube—the last three episodes of our livestream have been about parts of the cloud ecosystem. Christopher S. Penn: They made a big change—what was it? Christopher S. Penn: Thursday, February 5, along with a new Opus model, which is fine. Christopher S. Penn: This thing called agent teams. Christopher S. Penn: And what agent teams do is, with a plain‑language prompt, you essentially commission a team of virtual employees that go off, do things, act autonomously, communicate with each other, and then come back with a finished work product. Christopher S. Penn: Which means that AI is now—I’m going to call it agent teams generally—because it will not be long before Google, OpenAI and everyone else say, “We need to do that in our product or we'll fall behind.” Christopher S. Penn: But this changes our skills—from person prompting to, “I have to start thinking like a manager, like a project manager,” if I want this agent team to succeed and not spin its wheels or burn up all of my token credits. Christopher S. Penn: So Katie, because you are a far better manager in general—and a project manager in particular—I figured today we would talk about what Project Management 101 looks like through the lens of someone managing a team of AI agents. Christopher S. Penn: So some things—whether I need to check in with my teammates—are off the table. Christopher S. Penn: Right. Christopher S. Penn: We don’t have to worry about someone having a five‑hour breakdown in the conference room about the use of an Oxford comma. Katie Robbert: Thank goodness. Christopher S. Penn: But some other things—good communication, clarity, good planning—are more important than ever. Christopher S. Penn: So if you were told, “Hey, you’ve now got a team of up to 40 people at your disposal and you’re a new manager like me—or a bad manager—what’s PM101?” Christopher S. Penn: What’s PM101? Katie Robbert: Scope, timeline, budget. Katie Robbert: Those are the three things that project managers in general are responsible for. Katie Robbert: Scope—what are you doing? Katie Robbert: What are you not doing? Katie Robbert: Timeline—how long is it going to take? Katie Robbert: Budget—what’s it going to cost? Katie Robbert: Those are the three tenets of Project Management 101. Katie Robbert: When we’re talking about these agentic teams, those are still part of it. Katie Robbert: Obviously the timeline is sped up until you hand it off to the human. Katie Robbert: So let me take a step back and break these apart. Katie Robbert: Scope is what you’re doing, what you’re not doing. Katie Robbert: You still have to define that. Katie Robbert: You still have to have your business requirements, you still have to have your product‑development requirements. Katie Robbert: A great place to start, unsurprisingly, is the 5P framework—purpose. Katie Robbert: What are you doing? Katie Robbert: What is the question you’re trying to answer? Katie Robbert: What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? Katie Robbert: People—who is the audience internally and externally? Katie Robbert: Who’s involved in this case? Katie Robbert: Which agents do you want to use? Katie Robbert: What are the different disciplines? Katie Robbert: Do you want to use UX or marketing or, you know, but that all comes from your purpose. Katie Robbert: What are you doing in the first place? Katie Robbert: Process. Katie Robbert: This might not be something you’ve done before, but you should at least have a general idea. First, I should probably have my requirements done. Next, I should probably choose my team. Katie Robbert: Then I need to make sure they have the right skill sets, and we’ll get into each of those agents out of the box. Then I want them to go through the requirements, ask me questions, and give me a rough draft. Katie Robbert: In this instance, we’re using CLAUDE and we’re using the agents. Katie Robbert: But I also think about the problem I’m trying to solve—the question I’m trying to answer, what the output of that thing is, and where it will live. Katie Robbert: Is it just going to be a document? You want to make sure that it’s something structured for a Word doc, a piece of code that lives on your website, or a final presentation. So that’s your platform—in addition to Claude, what else? Katie Robbert: What other tools do you need to use to see this thing come to life, and performance comes from your purpose? Katie Robbert: What is the problem we’re trying to solve? Did we solve the problem? Katie Robbert: How do we measure success? Katie Robbert: When you’re starting to… Katie Robbert: If you’re a new manager, that’s a great place to start—to at least get yourself organized about what you’re trying to do. That helps define your scope and your budget. Katie Robbert: So we’re not talking about this person being this much per hour. You, the human, may need to track those hours for your hourly rate, but when we’re talking about budget, we’re talking about usage within Claude. Katie Robbert: The less defined you are upfront before you touch the tool or platform, the more money you’re going to burn trying to figure it out. That’s how budget transforms in this instance—phase one of the budget. Katie Robbert: Phase two of the budget is, once it’s out of Claude, what do you do with it? Who needs to polish it up, use it, etc.? Those are the phase‑two and phase‑three roadmap items. Katie Robbert: And then your timeline. Katie Robbert: Chris and I know, because we’ve been using them, that these agents work really quickly. Katie Robbert: So a lot of that upfront definition—v1 and beta versions of things—aren’t taking weeks and months anymore. Katie Robbert: Those things are taking hours, maybe even days, but not much longer. Katie Robbert: So your timeline is drastically shortened. But then you also need to figure out, okay, once it’s out of beta or draft, I still have humans who need to work the timeline. Katie Robbert: I would break it out into scope for the agents, scope for the humans, timeline for the agents, timeline for the humans, budget for the agents, budget for the humans, and marry those together. That becomes your entire ecosystem of project management. Katie Robbert: Specificity is key. Christopher S. Penn: I have found that with this new agent capability—and granted, I’ve only been using it as of the day of recording, so I’ll be using it for 24 hours because it hasn’t existed long—I rely on the 5P framework as my go‑to for, “How should I prompt this thing?” Christopher S. Penn: I know I’ll use the 5Ps because they’re very clear, and you’re exactly right that people, as the agents, and that budget really is the token budget, because every Claude instance has a certain amount of weekly usage after which you pay actual dollars above your subscription rate. Christopher S. Penn: So that really does matter. Christopher S. Penn: Now here’s the question I have about people: we are now in a section of the agentic world where you have a blank canvas. Christopher S. Penn: You could commission a project with up to a hundred agents. How do you, as a new manager, avoid what I call Avid syndrome? Christopher S. Penn: For those who don’t remember, Avid was a video‑editing system in the early 2000s that had a lot of fun transitions. Christopher S. Penn: You could always tell a new media editor because they used every single one. Katie Robbert: Star, wipe and star. Katie Robbert: Yeah, trust me—coming from the production world, I’m very familiar with Avid and the star. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. Christopher S. Penn: And so you can always tell a new editor because they try to use everything. Christopher S. Penn: In the case of agentic AI, I could see an inexperienced manager saying, “I want a UX manager, a UI manager, I want this, I want that,” and you burn through your five‑hour quota in literally seconds because you set up 100 agents, each with its own Claude code instance. Christopher S. Penn: So you have 100 versions of this thing running at the same time. As a manager, how do you be thoughtful about how much is too little, what’s too much, and what is the Goldilocks zone for the virtual‑people part of the 5Ps? Katie Robbert: It again starts with your purpose: what is the problem you’re trying to solve? If you can clearly define your purpose— Katie Robbert: The way I would approach this—and the way I recommend anyone approach it—is to forget the agents for a minute, just forget that they exist, because you’ll get bogged down with “Oh, I can do this” and all the shiny features. Katie Robbert: Forget it. Just put it out of your mind for a second. Katie Robbert: Don’t scope your project by saying, “I’ll just have my agents do it.” Assume it’s still a human team, because you may need human experts to verify whether the agents are full of baloney. Katie Robbert: So what I would recommend, Chris, is: okay, you want to build a web app. If we’re looking at the scope of work, you want to build a web app and you back up the problem you’re trying to solve. Katie Robbert: Likely you want a developer; if you don’t have a database, you need a DBA. You probably want a QA tester. Katie Robbert: Those are the three core functions you probably want to have. What are you going to do with it? Katie Robbert: Is it going to live internally or externally? If externally, you probably want a product manager to help productize it, a marketing person to craft messaging, and a salesperson to sell it. Katie Robbert: So that’s six roles—not a hundred. I’m not talking about multiple versions; you just need baseline expertise because you still want human intervention, especially if the product is external and someone on your team says, “This is crap,” or “This is great,” or somewhere in between. Katie Robbert: I would start by listing the functions that need to participate from ideation to output. Then you can say, “Okay, I need a UX designer.” Do I need a front‑end and a back‑end developer? Then you get into the nitty‑gritty. Katie Robbert: But start with the baseline: what functions do I need? Do those come out of the box? Do I need to build them? Do I know someone who can gut‑check these things? Because then you’re talking about human pay scales and everything. Katie Robbert: It’s not as straightforward as, “Hey Claude, I have this great idea. Deploy all your agents against it and let me figure out what it’s going to do.” Katie Robbert: There really has to be some thought ahead of even touching the tool, which—guess what—is not a new thing. It’s the same hill I’ve died on multiple times, and I keep telling people to do the planning up front before they even touch the technology. Christopher S. Penn: Yep. Christopher S. Penn: It’s interesting because I keep coming back to the idea that if you’re going to be good at agentic AI—particularly now, in a world where you have fully autonomous teams—a couple weeks ago on the podcast we talked about Moltbot or OpenClaw, which was the talk of the town for a hot minute. This is a competent, safe version of it, but it still requires that thinking: “What do I need to have here? What kind of expertise?” Christopher S. Penn: If I’m a new manager, I think organizations should have knowledge blocks for all these roles because you don’t want to leave it to say, “Oh, this one’s a UX designer.” What does that mean? Christopher S. Penn: You should probably have a knowledge box. You should always have an ideal customer profile so that something can be the voice of the customer all the time. Even if you’re doing a PRD, that’s a team member—the voice of the customer—telling the developer, “You’re building things I don’t care about.” Christopher S. Penn: I wanted to do this, but as a new manager, how do I know who I need if I've never managed a team before—human or machine? Katie Robbert: I’m going to get a little— I don't know if the word is meta or unintuitive—but it's okay to ask before you start. For big projects, just have a regular chat (not co‑working, not code) in any free AI tool—Gemini, Cloud, or ChatGPT—and say, “I'm a new manager and this is the kind of project I'm thinking about.” Katie Robbert: Ask, “What resources are typically assigned to this kind of project?” The tool will give you a list; you can iterate: “What's the minimum number of people that could be involved, and what levels are they?” Katie Robbert: Or, the world is your oyster—you could have up to 100 people. Who are they? Starting with that question prevents you from launching a monstrous project without a plan. Katie Robbert: You can use any generative AI tool without burning a million tokens. Just say, “I want to build an app and I have agents who can help me.” Katie Robbert: Who are the typical resources assigned to this project? What do they do? Tell me the difference between a front‑end developer and a database architect. Why do I need both? Christopher S. Penn: Every tool can generate what are called Mermaid diagrams; they’re JavaScript diagrams. So you could ask, “Who's involved?” “What does the org chart look like, and in what order do people act?” Christopher S. Penn: Right, because you might not need the UX person right away. Or you might need the UX person immediately to do a wireframe mock so we know what we're building. Christopher S. Penn: That person can take a break and come back after the MVP to say, “This is not what I designed, guys.” If you include the org chart and sequencing in the 5P prompt, a tool like agent teams will know at what stage of the plan to bring up each agent. Christopher S. Penn: So you don't run all 50 agents at once. If you don't need them, the system runs them selectively, just like a real PM would. Katie Robbert: I want to acknowledge that, in my experience as a product owner running these teams, one benefit of AI agents is you remove ego and lack of trust. Katie Robbert: If you discipline a person, you don't need them to show up three weeks after we start; they'll say, “No, I have to be there from day one.” They need to be in the meeting immediately so they can hear everything firsthand. Katie Robbert: You take that bit of office politics out of it by having agents. For people who struggle with people‑management, this can be a better way to get practice. Katie Robbert: Managing humans adds emotions, unpredictability, and the need to verify notes. Agents don't have those issues. Christopher S. Penn: Right. Katie Robbert: The agent's like, “Okay, great, here's your thing.” Christopher S. Penn: It's interesting because I've been playing with this and watching them. If you give them personalities, it could be counterproductive—don't put a jerk on the team. Christopher S. Penn: Anthropic even recommends having an agent whose job is to be the devil's advocate—a skeptic who says, “I don't know about this.” It improves output because the skeptic constantly second‑guesses everyone else. Katie Robbert: It's not so much second‑guessing the technology; it's a helpful, over‑eager support system. Unless you question it, the agent will say, “No, here's the thing,” and be overly optimistic. That's why you need a skeptic saying, “Are you sure that's the best way?” That's usually my role. Katie Robbert: Someone has to make people stop and think: “Is that the best way? Am I over‑developing this? Am I overthinking the output? Have I considered security risks or copyright infringement? Whatever it is, you need that gut check.” Christopher S. Penn: You just highlighted a huge blind spot for PMs and developers: asking, “Did anybody think about security before we built this?” Being aware of that question is essential for a manager. Christopher S. Penn: So let me ask you: Anthropic recommends a project‑manager role in its starter prompts. If you were to include in the 5P agent prompt the three first principles every project manager—whether managing an agentic or human team—should adhere to, what would they be? Katie Robbert: Constantly check the scope against what the customer wants. Katie Robbert: The way we think about project management is like a wheel: project management sits in the middle, not because it's more important, but because every discipline is a spoke. Without the middle person, everything falls apart. Katie Robbert: The project manager is the connection point. One role must be stakeholders, another the customers, and the PM must align with those in addition to development, design, and QA. It's not just internal functions; it's also who cares about the product. Katie Robbert: The PM must be the hub that ensures roles don't conflict. If development says three days and QA says five, the PM must know both. Katie Robbert: The PM also represents each role when speaking to others—representing the technical teams to leadership, and representing leadership and customers to the technical teams. They must be a good representative of each discipline. Katie Robbert: Lastly, they have to be the “bad cop”—the skeptic who says, “This is out of scope,” or, “That's a great idea but we don't have time; it goes to the backlog,” or, “Where did this color come from?” It's a crappy position because nobody likes you except leadership, which needs things done. Christopher S. Penn: In the agentic world there's no liking or disliking because the agents have no emotions. It's easier to tell the virtual PM, “Your job is to be Mr. No.” Katie Robbert: Exactly. Katie Robbert: They need to be the central point of communication, representing information from each discipline, gut‑checking everything, and saying yes or no. Christopher S. Penn: It aligns because these agents can communicate with each other. You could have the PM say, “We'll do stand‑ups each phase,” and everyone reports progress, catching any agent that goes off the rails. Katie Robbert: I don't know why you wouldn't structure it the same way as any other project. Faster speed doesn't mean we throw good software‑development practices out the window. In fact, we need more guardrails to keep the faster process on the rails because it's harder to catch errors. Christopher S. Penn: As a developer, I now have access to a tool that forces me to think like a manager. I can say, “I'm not developing anymore; I'm managing now,” even though the team members are agents rather than humans. Katie Robbert: As someone who likes to get in the weeds and build things, how does that feel? Do you feel your capabilities are being taken away? I'm often asked that because I'm more of a people manager. Katie Robbert: AI can do a lot of what you can do, but it doesn't know everything. Christopher S. Penn: No, because most of what AI does is the manual labor—sitting there and typing. I'm slow, sloppy, and make a lot of mistakes. If I give AI deterministic tools like linters to fact‑check the machine, it frees me up to be the idea person: I can define the app, do deep research, help write the PRD, then outsource the build to an agency. Christopher S. Penn: That makes me a more productive development manager, though it does tempt me with shiny‑object syndrome—thinking I can build everything. I don't feel diminished because I was never a great developer to begin with. Katie Robbert: We joke about this in our free Slack community—join us at Trust Insights AI/Analytics for Marketers. Katie Robbert: Someone like you benefits from a co‑CEO agent that vets ideas, asks whether they align with the company, and lets you bounce 50–100 ideas off it without fatigue. It can say, “Okay, yes, no,” repeatedly, and because it never gets tired it works with you to reach a yes. Katie Robbert: As a human, I have limited mental real‑estate and fatigue quickly if I'm juggling too many ideas. Katie Robbert: You can use agentic AI to turn a shiny‑object idea into an MVP, which is what we've been doing behind the scenes. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. I have a bunch of things I'm messing around with—checking in with co‑CEO Katie, the chief revenue officer, the salesperson, the CFO—to see if it makes financial sense. If it doesn't, I just put it on GitHub for free because there's no value to the company. Christopher S. Penn: Co‑CEO reminds me not to do that during work hours. Christopher S. Penn: Other things—maybe it's time to think this through more carefully. Christopher S.

"Three PMs walk into a bar: a business PM, an IT PM, and a Vendor PM…" Sounds like a bad joke, but if you don't get it right - the joke will be your project. In this Top Shelf Replay episode, Kim and Kate revisit an episode that was originally inspired by one of their listeners. Very often, you aren't the "one PM to rule them all" - you may have other PMs involved in your project that you need to work with. But how do you decide who is what, and how do you prevent turf wars from turning your project into a slow-motion train wreck?  In this episode, we ditch the corporate fluff to dive into the messy reality of projects with "too many cooks". We discuss how to navigate the friction between different project management roles, how to handle "useless" vendor PMs who won't manage their own resources, and what to do when an executive buyer bypasses you to talk directly to the vendor. You'll learn how to look "one level up" in the hierarchy to identify what actually drives your counterparts and how to draw professional boundaries that keep you in the driver's seat. In this episode, you'll learn: How to use the "Hierarchy Hack" to uncover your counterparts' hidden motivations. Strategies for handling a vendor PM who refuses to do their job.

High-functioning. Capable. Reliable. The one who always figures it out.And somehow… still exhausted.In the final episode of the Energy Is Everything series, Ash sits down with hormone and functional health expert Leisha Drews… her long-time, deeply trusted go-to for both her own health and her kids'. This conversation pulls back the curtain on why so many high-achieving women feel depleted, anxious, wired-but-tired, and burned out (even when they're “doing all the right things.”)TOPICS WE EXPLORE:• Why high-functioning women often believe “the rules don't apply to me” until the body forces a reckoning• How undernourishment shows up as fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, PMS, blood sugar crashes, and burnout• The direct link between chronic stress, cortisol, and hormone imbalance• How stress steals progesterone and contributes to estrogen dominance• Why supplements can't out-supplement a chronically stressed, under-fed lifestyle• The all-or-nothing cycle of restriction, control, and eventual burnout• The power of “better than nothing” when perfection keeps you stuck• Why nourishment + nervous system safety changes everythingPOINT OF THE EPISODE:When your body doesn't feel safe, fed, or supported, it will always pull the emergency brake. True energy comes from nourishment, regulation, and compassion… not more discipline, restriction, or self-pressure.Or, as Ash puts it: eat more and love yourself.MENTIONED:• The Nourish Tracker: Leisha's AI-based food and cycle-aware tracking tool designed to reduce overwhelm and support hormone balance.

Unexplained infertility, PMS, and low progesterone are often dismissed when labs fall “within range.” In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains why prolactin may be the missing piece. Learn how mildly elevated prolactin can suppress ovulation, lower progesterone, and impact fertility—even when labs appear normal. We also discuss common causes, symptoms, the role of stress and medications, and why diet (including gluten sensitivity) may matter. This episode focuses on precision medicine, not fear—helping you understand what standard reference ranges often miss. Citations: Research — Prolactin and Breast Cancer Risk Below are key epidemiologic and review papers that inform the discussion in this episode regarding prolactin and breast biology. These studies look at associations, not simple cause-and-effect relationships, and help explain why prolactin shows up in breast health conversations. Meta-analysis: circulating prolactin and breast cancer risk Wang M, et al. (2016). Plasma prolactin and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis. Cancer Causes & Control. This meta-analysis pooled data from multiple observational studies comparing women with higher versus lower circulating prolactin levels. Across studies, higher prolactin levels were associated with a modest but statistically significant increase in breast cancer risk. The association was most evident in postmenopausal women and in hormone-receptor–positive tumors. This helps explain why prolactin is considered a relevant growth signal in breast tissue rather than just a “lactation hormone.” Systematic review and meta-analysis: prolactin levels across breast cancer cohorts Aranha AF, et al. (2022). Impact of prolactin levels in breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Endocrine-Related Cancer. This more recent systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated circulating prolactin levels across breast cancer populations and control groups. Elevated prolactin levels were associated with higher breast cancer occurrence, with stronger associations seen in invasive cancers and hormone-receptor–positive disease. This paper adds weight to the idea that prolactin participates in breast biology in ways that matter clinically, even outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Prospective cohort studies: prolactin measured before diagnosis Tworoger SS, et al. (2004; 2006). Prospective analyses from large cohorts including the Nurses' Health Study. In these studies, prolactin was measured years before any breast cancer diagnosis. Women with higher prolactin levels had a higher likelihood of developing breast cancer later, particularly estrogen-receptor–positive tumors in postmenopausal women. Because prolactin was measured before cancer developed, these studies help clarify timing and reduce the concern that elevated prolactin is simply a consequence of disease. Mechanistic context (supportive background) Experimental and translational studies show that prolactin receptor signaling influences mammary epithelial cell growth, differentiation, and interaction with estrogen signaling pathways. This provides a biologic backdrop for why epidemiologic associations between prolactin and breast cancer risk keep appearing across different study designs. How to read this as a clinician or patient These data do not mean prolactin “causes” breast cancer in a simple or deterministic way. What they do show is that prolactin is an active hormone in breast tissue, and chronically higher levels are consistently associated with changes in breast risk profiles across large populations. That's why prolactin deserves attention in conversations about fertility, breast symptoms, and long-term hormonal signaling—not fear, and not dismissal.    Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

After being guided by her doctor to take the pill for twenty years to manage painful periods, breathwork practitioner Harriette Wight was still dealing with challenging bleeds and decided to try something different. She was guided by a friend to try seed cycling, then learned how to track her menstrual cycle and then - via her Yoga teacher - she discovered breathwork. The combination of breathwork and cycle awareness changed everything for her. Breathwork, as Harriette defines it, is the practice of using the breath to consciously change how we feel physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And today in our conversation we explore the ancient roots of breathwork and the modern day expression, and why it is such a powerful tool for health and wellbeing, particularly when it's used in combination with menstrual cycle awareness. Harriette is a graduate of Red School's Menstruality Leadership Programme, and through her own intimacy with her cycle, she's created a body of work designed around specific breathwork practices to support each of the inner seasons of the menstrual cycle. In our chat today, she shares her MLP experience including how it changed how she sees herself, how she wants to show up in the world, and how she delivers her work. We explore:How the inhale and exhale correspond to the two movements of energy within the menstrual cycle, which Alexandra and Sjanie have named: the via positiva and the via negativa. Simple breathwork practices to support you to rest when you bleed, manage the rising energy in your inner spring, to help you feel confident in your inner summerA ‘recovery breath' practice to manage premenstrual emotional reactivity.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

We're continuing our AI Tools series with Marcos Polanco, engineering leader, founder, and ecosystem builder from the Bay Area, who joins Matt and Moshe to introduce CLEAR, his method for using AI to build real software, not just demos. Drawing on decades in software development and his recent research into how AI is reshaping the way teams ship products, Marcos shares how CLEAR gives both technical and non‑technical builders a production‑oriented way to work with vibe coding tools.Instead of treating AI like a magical black box, Marcos frames it as an “idiot savant”: incredibly capable and eager, but with no judgment. CLEAR wraps that raw power in structure, guardrails, and engineering discipline, so founders and PMs can go from prototype to production while keeping humans in control of the last, hardest 20%.Join Matt, Moshe, and Marcos as they explore:Marcos's journey through engineering, founding, and AI research, and why he created CLEARWhy AI tools like Bolt, Cursor, Claude, and Gemini are fabulous for prototypes but risky for production without a methodCLEAR in detail:C – Context: onboarding AI like a new hire, using stories and behavior‑driven design (BDD) to articulate requirementsL – Layout: breaking work into focused, scoped pieces and choosing a tech stack so AI isn't overwhelmedE – Execute: applying test‑driven development (TDD), writing tests first, then having AI write code to pass themA – Assess: using a second, independent LLM as a QA agent, plus a human‑run 5 Whys to fix root causes upstreamR – Run: shipping to users, gathering new data, and feeding it back into the next iteration of contextHow CLEAR lowers cognitive load for both humans and AIs and reduces regressions and hallucinationsWhy Markdown (with diagrams like Mermaid) is becoming Marcos's standard format for shared human–AI documentationHow CLEAR changes the coordination layer of software development while keeping engineers central to quality and judgmentPractical advice for PMs and founders who want to move from “just vibes” to predictable, production‑grade AI developmentAnd much more!Want to go deeper on CLEAR or connect with Marcos?CLEAR on GitHub: https://github.com/marcospolanco/ai-native-organizations/blob/main/CLEAR.mdCLEAR slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mwwDtr7cCP5jLUyNVgGR5Aj-MBq8xsMlhSc0pvSQDks/edit?usp=sharingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcospolancoYou can also connect with us and find more episodes:Product for Product Podcast: http://linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanovskyNote: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Product Momentum team first met Oji Udezue following his keynote at INDUSTRY 2025. And we just knew we had to have him on the pod. Oji is a highly skilled product leader whose CV includes companies like Calendly, Atlassian, and Microsoft. In addition, he co-authored (with wife, Ezinne Udezue) Building Rocket Ships, Product Management for High-Growth Companies a manual for product leaders, product managers, and executives who want to build faster, better, and more profitably (raise your hand if that describes you!). In this episode, we begin broadly by discussing the evolving role of product management in the era of AI. We then pivot quickly, drilling into some of the new challenges that require today’s product leaders to: Readjust to the accelerated pace of product development in today's AI-empowered world (the three-speed problem), Re-emphasize product management's core principles that remain constant, and Reconsider what counts as essential skills for today's product manager. AI's Impact and the Three-Speed Problem Companies do three things to build great technology products, Oji says: customer science, construction/development, and go-to-market. Each step on this cycle moves at its own pace. Before AI, engineering speed was the process bottleneck. But with AI-driven automation, construction has become much faster, creating new challenges in synchronizing these three phases. “We're all going to spend a lot of time balancing that equation,” Oji adds, “finding the practices, the team structure, the team ratios, the new AI tools that help us keep this thing fast but then speed up customer science and GTM.“ Essential Skills for Today's ‘Renaissance PM' The AI transformation calls on product managers to add new arrows to their quiver of skills – e.g., curiosity, humility, agency among them. In the same way we transitioned from a pre-internet to internet environment, Oji adds, AI “requires brand new thinking.” But the old skills still apply: “These are worth bringing up because a lot of PMs don't have them: communication, creativity, the ability to ship, and leadership – being the kind of person people want to follow – all of that has to do with judgment. The role is evolving into that of a “renaissance PM” who blends traditional skills with new AI-related capabilities. Evolution of the PM Role Has the PM role evolved so much that the skills required to perform it are now preeminent to the role itself? Is that where AI is taking us? “I’ve always thought the skills…the mindset…was way more important,” Oji offers. “The title just gives us a way to put it in a box. The title is nothing without the skills. That's why I wrote the book. Because I want more people to have the skillsets” required to succeed in this new world order. The post 180 / Oji Udezue: The Renaissance PM – Core Skills for Today's AI-Driven World appeared first on ITX Corp..

HRT can be a game-changer. But if the foundation is shaky, it can't do its job. So before you change your hormone dose again, listen to this. There's a reason symptoms can persist, especially in perimenopause and menopause. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I'm with Dr. Wendy Warner, former conventional OB-GYN turned functional and integrative powerhouse, because she's watching the same pattern on repeat. Women start hormone therapy while blood sugar is unstable. Cortisol is running the show. Inflammation is simmering. Thyroid issues get missed. And the environment is quietly pushing the whole system off course. Then three months later? Frustration. They blame the hormones. Or they chase higher and higher doses like that's the fix. We get into what most conversations skip: how stress can hijack progesterone signaling, why “hot flashes” can actually be blood sugar swings, and why obesity can shift estrogen dynamics. We also talk estrogen metabolism and methylation, especially if you've got a family history that makes you cautious. Then we pivot to bone health and the uncomfortable reality: osteoporosis isn't a calcium problem. It's a systems problem. If you want a smarter way to think about hormone replacement therapy,one that actually matches how biology works, this episode is for you. Want more practical health tips?

Stanford professor Christina Wodtke joins Peter and Jesse in exploring the real contradictions of AI in design and product work: revolutionary prototyping speed versus the need for critical thinking, efficiency gains versus cognitive loss, and loving the technology while hating the exploitative companies building it. She shares exactly what designers and PMs must vigilantly protect.

Do project management methodologies still matter when AI can generate plans, notes, and schedules in seconds? In this episode, Galen sits down with Stan Yanakiev to unpack why the answer is still a firm yes—but with an important caveat: methodologies have to adapt. Together, they explore how PMs can move faster with AI without losing control, context, or the human side of delivery.The conversation digs into lightweight project management, human-in-the-loop AI, and why speed without structure leads to “speed wobbles.” Stan shares practical examples of using AI to reduce documentation overhead, strengthen decision-making, and free PMs up to do what they do best: lead people, align stakeholders, and navigate complexity.Resources from this episode:Join the Digital Project Manager CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Stan on LinkedInCheck out Mindrise

Do you ever feel like you know what would help your hormones - eating consistently, resting more, getting minerals in - but there's just no time to do any of it?In this episode of the Safety vs. Stress Series, I'm explaining how your relationship with time itself can either create safety in your body or keep your hormones stuck in stress mode. When your schedule is full, and your mind is constantly jumping ahead, your nervous system hears one message over and over: there's no room to slow down.And I'm sharing this as a mom of three and a business owner who understands what it's like to want hormone balance but not have another second to spare.You'll hear:Why time pressure alone can trigger PMS, irritability, and low energyThe hidden cost of always putting yourself lastSimple mindset and routine shifts that can lower stress without overhauling your lifeIf it's hard for you to let go of perfection and ask for help, this episode will help you find the ways to do it and see where relief is actually possible.And remember: you don't need to change everything.

I am excited to connect with Dr. Lara Briden today! She is one of my favorite naturopathic doctors and the author of the bestselling books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual. She has 25 years of experience in women's health, and she currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems. Dr. Briden is a wealth of information! She brings a fresh perspective and a positive voice to the health and wellness space, and I often recommend her book, Hormone Repair Manual, to my clients and patients.  Today, she and I dive into her background as an evolutionary biologist and discuss how she became passionate about supporting and advocating for women throughout their lives. We talk about perspectives on aging, what the second puberty (perimenopause) is, and the impact of histamine, mass-cell granulation, and estrogen. We discuss fat redistribution in middle age and the loss of insulin sensitivity. We speak about how using alcohol impacts brain health, sleep, the gut microbiome, appetite, cravings, and hinders estrogen metabolism. We also touch on ways to address dysfunctional uterine bleeding in middle age, explain how to advocate for your health, how middle age impacts the nervous system, and the role of inflammatory foods, including dairy.  I hope you enjoy our discussion as much as I did! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Briden discusses her background as an evolutionary biologist and how she changed her career to become an advocate for women's health. Many women fear the aging process. Dr. Briden and I discuss women's mindsets and perspectives on aging.  Why is there so little awareness about perimenopause? Dr. Briden defines menopause and discusses the timeframe in which some women experience perimenopause symptoms. How can ongoing hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, or second puberty, increase the likelihood of women having issues with a histamine response? Dr. Briden talks about fat redistribution in middle age and explains why women need to stay on top of it from a metabolic perspective. How can our modern-day lifestyle make the metabolic shift women experience in menopause even more challenging? Dr. Briden talks about natural treatments and hormone therapies to lighten the flow of the extremely heavy periods that some women experience during perimenopause. Dr. Briden discusses the connection between cow dairy and an inflammatory reaction in some people. Women need to understand what happens in their bodies when they have either a partial or a full hysterectomy. Dr. Briden talks about estrogen and brain health. How does alcohol affect the body? What are the best options with the fewest side effects for hormone therapy for women?
