This is not a lecture and it is not a sermon — it is honest education. By the end you will have the full science and the framework to make your own choice with eyes open.You will learn:How alcohol shuts down fat-burning the second it hits your bloodstream — and why your liver drops everything else to deal with itHow it tanks your testosterone levelsWhy "the wine helps me sleep" is a  lie The cortisol reboundThe gut- inflammation loop And how to drink but still lose weightIf you have been doing everything right and watching the scale refuse to move, this episode might be the missing piece.

The Menstruality podcast is devoted to restoring cyclical intelligence at the heart of our world, and we center our conversation on the menstrual cycle as a teacher, guide and ally in this quest. But what do you do if you encounter this work after you've been through menopause and no longer have a menstrual cycle? We receive many questions from post-menopause women and folks in our community who are curious about how to practice cycle awareness, such as; what cycles should I track now? Should I track with the moon, and how do I do that? And importantly, what do I do with the regret, grief and anger I feel at missing out on menstrual cycle awareness earlier? So, in today's conversation, we weave stories from some of the post-menopause women in the Red School community with Alexandra's personal experience from many years of tracking with the lunar cycle to share practical guidance and inspiration for how you can bring cyclical wisdom into your life in your third act. We explore:What to do when you feel grief and / or rage about not having had access to the wisdom and power of the menstrual cycle during your menstruating years. How to work with the lunar cycle phases to recover menstrual cycle wisdom and embody it, and especially how the new moon can give you permission to rest when you no longer bleed.The ‘quiet medicine' of post-menopause cycle awareness, and how it can support your healing processes and repair work, particularly trauma healing. ---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.

They don't respond the same to food. They don't respond to the same training. And the strategy that helps in one phase can quietly make things worse in the other.In this episode, I break down how these two phases are so different — and why using the wrong approach for where you actually are is one of the most common reasons women feel stuck.In this episode:How your nutritional needs are completely different in perimenopause vs. postmenopause — and what actually needs to changeWhy your training has to shift between phases — and the one thing that becomes non-negotiable the further you goHow fat loss strategy changes depending on which phase you're in — and why the same approach won't work for bothWhy your hormones are behaving so differently in each phase — and what that means for how your body responds to everything you doThe most common mistake women make when they move from one phase to the other — and what to do instead

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's Episode "Lifting heavy" is one of the most talked-about topics in women's fitness right now — but what does it actually mean? In this episode of the Common Sense Series, we cut through the noise and break down what lifting heavy really is, why it matters (especially as estrogen declines), and how to work your way up to it safely and sustainably. No barbell required, no gym membership necessary — just practical, research-backed guidance you can actually apply to your life. Main points discussed: The importance of remembering heavy is relative. Why you need to "earn" your heavy. Why fast-twitch muscle fibers are the key.Bone density benefits. How the metabolic afterburn is real. Why you don't need fancy equipment. Knowing the difference between resistance training ≠ lifting heavy. Thoughts on training 2–3x per week and recovery and listening to your body. Episode Links:What Does Lifting Heavy Mean?The Bone Battle No One is Talking AboutWhy You're Sore All the Time (And What to Actually Do About it)The only resistance bands I recommendMy latest recommended ways to nourish and move your body, mind and spirit: Nourished Notes Bi-Weekly Newsletter30+ Non-Gym Ways to Improve Your Health (free download)Connect with Amy: GracedHealth.com Instagram: @GracedHealthYouTube: @AmyConnell

Today's episode feels like catching up with a friend—but one who challenges you to stop playing small.I'm joined again by Susan Guidi, who first appeared back in Episode 45. A lot has changed since then—and this chapter might be her most powerful yet.Susan started over as a single mom, built a business from scratch, discovered stand-up comedy, lost 45 pounds at 63, and stepped on a bodybuilding stage at 65. Most recently, she navigated a hip replacement and came out stronger—with a completely new perspective on resilience, recovery, and what it really means to keep showing up for yourself as you age. This conversation is honest, funny, and deeply real.We talk about: Why it's never “too late” to reinvent yourself  The mindset shift that changes everything in midlife  What recovery, strength, and resilience actually look like after surgery  The truth about aging, identity, and starting over  Why lifestyle—nutrition, strength training, sleep—still comes first  And Susan's powerful concept: “the dress of possibility”What if nothing is actually “too late”… and you've just been playing it safe?  Still waiting for the “right time”? This is your wake-up call. You can find my friend Susan Guidi on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kikimousegetsfit/_________________________________________If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, adding a layer of support may be an option.

Send us Fan MailMenopause is a natural part of aging, yet it remains one of the most scary and misunderstood stages of a woman's life. For this episode, our guest expert helps us separate fact from fiction regarding this transition. David Rogers, M.D., an OB/GYN with Texas Tech Physicians and associate professor and vice chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the TTUHSC School of Medicine, joins us to talk about the basics of menopause — what is actually happening in the body during this shift, the common symptoms to look out for, and the truth behind some of the most persistent myths. Dr. Rogers also provides insights into how women can manage their health during this phase and how to advocate for themselves.

As we enter our early forties, we step into a new life phase with a very different atmosphere and tone. We're shifting into a new paradigm, often accompanied by changes in our menstrual cycles and ourselves, some of which may be startling or very tricky to manage.Brain fog, memory issues, irregular cycles, heavy periods - the list goes on. You might notice that you have less tolerance for stress, tire more easily, and that your trusty sleep pattern isn't quite so trusty anymore.Today I'm chatting with Alexandra and Sjanie about how the practice of menstrual cycle awareness can be a vital source of support as we navigate these challenging years. Sjanie shares generously about her own experience of perimenopause, or as she calls it, the autumn of the menstruating years; from experiencing new levels of love, to reckoning with childhood trauma, and how her recommitment to the fundamentals of cycle awareness has supported her. Whether you're experiencing the psycho‐spiritual shift in the years running up to menopause, or you're supporting women and folks in the thick of it - perhaps your clients, family members. friends or colleagues - we hope this conversation helps to plug you into the practice of menstrual cycle awareness as a vital perimenopause resource.We explore:How to practice menstrual cycle awareness when your cycle is very irregular and how to claim your rest, even when you don't know when your next period is coming.What is at work on the psycho-spiritual level in the forties, and how the lens of the ‘quickening' can help to make sense of the challenges of these years. How Sjanie has navigated her trauma healing process in perimenopause, and the importance of community support in this life phase. ---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.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses nutrition and menopause, defining menopause as 12 months without a period and noting it can occur naturally or due to surgery/medical procedures. She links declining estrogen to increased cardiometabolic risk, endothelial dysfunction, vascular aging, musculoskeletal pain, and higher risks with early menopause (including cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and dementia), and notes many estrogen-modulated conditions are associated with gut dysbiosis. She emphasizes lifestyle—especially nutrition—as key, highlighting anti-inflammatory, minimally processed eating and warning against ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, and excess omega-6. She cites research that high adherence to a Mediterranean diet improves markers like heart rate, lipids, triglycerides, CRP, and overall cardiometabolic risk, and mentions omega-3s lowering triglycerides while modestly raising HDL and LDL. She reviews diet approaches for hot flashes, suggests reducing caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and carbs, notes some women require (bioidentical) HRT, and describes clients improving symptoms with dietary change.

Menopause is not a medical condition or gateway to decline. In this special series devoted to widening our circle of empathy for people who often feel marginalized or misunderstood, watch this illuminating episode featuring Shirley Weir, founder of Menopause Chicks.As one of Canada's most trusted voices in women's health, Shirley cuts through the stigma and misinformation about perimenopause and menopause. Instead, she reframes this mid-life transition as an invitation, arguing that the first generation of women to turn 50 have another 50 quality years ahead  of them - and that changes everything.Together, we discuss:How estrogen affects not just your ovaries but your brain, heart, bones, and sleepWhy sleep disruption is one of the most overlooked and consequential symptomsThe truth about hormone therapy The staggering cost of menopause to organizations without a planExtending empathy to women with menopausal symptomsThis conversation addresses the urgent need to reframe menopause as an invitation for women to invest in their health and quality of life for the decades ahead.00:00 Preview01:04 Introduction 02:58 About Shirley Weir04:58 Shirley's backstory06:55 What is perimenopause?11:12 Symptoms of menopause14:56 Shirley Weir's book, The Unexpected Joy of Menopause19:36 Hormone therapy as a first-line treatment for menopause24:11 Unpacking physiological changes in women's bodies29:36 Menopause at work: what employers are getting wrong or missing entirely35:58 The real cost of ignoring menopause at work42:23 How understanding your hormones empowers you at the doctor's office45:13 Perimenopause & libido: Why intimacy changes in midlife50:21 How partners can be more supportive without trying to fix everything54:33 Menopause as a social issue; not a personal one57:48 Shirley Weir's Purposeful Empathy storyCONNECT WITH SHIRLEY✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirleyweir/✩ Website https://menopausechicks.com/✩ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/menopausechicks/ CONNECT WITH ANITA✩ Email purposefulempathy@gmail.com ✩ Website https://www.anitanowak.com✩ Buy a copy of Purposeful Empathy http://tiny.cc/PurposefulEmpathyCA✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitanowak/✩ Instagram https://tinyurl.com/anitanowakinstagram✩ Podcast Audio https://tinyurl.com/PurposefulEmpathyPodcast✩ Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/anitanowak.bsky.socialSHOW NOTES✩ Feel Amazing: Your Invitation to Rethink Perimenopause, Menopause & Postmenopause https://fliphtml5.com/ctghh/euqe/✩ Menopause Chicks Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/MenopauseChicks✩ Shirley's White Paper https://6c96db96-14e3-4d32-b814-5ff916437257.usrfiles.com/ugd/6c96db_f06bcf5cc9ba46fa84a9582af7b8ede1.pdf ✩ Extent and Health Consequences of Chronic Sleep Loss and Sleep Disorders https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK19961/Video edited by Jad Misri, Green Horizon Studio

Louise Digby explains why two women can eat and exercise similarly yet see completely different fat loss results, arguing that the difference is not discipline or effort but how each body responds internally. Using two client examples, she describes “invisible variables” that affect progress, including blood sugar responses, stress load, sleep, digestion and nutrient absorption, inflammation, hormonal signalling, and nutrient status. She also discusses genetics as a factor that interacts with environment, and how a history of dieting, stress and poor recovery can make the body more protective and resistant to weight loss. Louise encourages shifting from pushing harder to understanding what the body needs to feel stable, supported and safe enough to respond.00:00 Why Fat Loss Feels Unfair02:23 Two Clients Same Plan06:02 Effort vs Results Spiral08:10 Invisible Variables Explained10:57 Genetics Not Destiny13:17 Your Body Keeps Score15:52 Stop Pushing Harder17:45 Work With Your Body19:28 Free Masterclass Invite20:12 Final TakeawayRegister for my free masterclass: https://www.louisedigbynutrition.com/meno-belly

Louise explains that metabolism isn't fixed or “broken” but a responsive, adaptive system that slows down and stores fat when the body perceives scarcity or threat from chronic dieting, under-eating, high exercise load, poor sleep and stress. She describes the calorie trap and adaptive thermogenesis, where cutting calories leads to unconscious reductions in movement and energy output, and challenges the myth that big differences in metabolic rate are purely genetic, highlighting metabolic flexibility instead. Louise outlines why changes often feel worse after 40 due to accumulated dieting and stress, hormonal shifts, muscle loss and reduced recovery, and emphasises the role of the nervous system, gut health, nutrient absorption and hormones such as thyroid. She lists common signs of metabolic adaptation and recommends consistent fuelling, regular meals, blood sugar stability, nervous system regulation, sleep, resistance training, gut support and addressing deficiencies, plus invites listeners to her masterclass.00:00 Slow Metabolism Myth00:40 Metabolism Is Adaptive03:04 Why Your Body Slows05:27 The Calorie Trap07:41 Metabolic Flexibility08:50 After 40 Changes11:00 Stress And Safety13:37 Gut Nutrients Hormones15:56 Signs Of Adaptation17:18 Rebuilding Metabolism19:51 Masterclass Invitation20:45 Final TakeawayRegister for my free masterclass: https://www.louisedigbynutrition.com/meno-belly

I currently have six paint samples on my living room wall.  They are all technically blue. None of them are the same.  Which feels… symbolic.  In this episode, I'm thinking about menopause not as art and refinement. As the shift from fluorescent to tonal. From performance to composition.  There's a turtle.  There's London. There's a river that looks like it's meandering but absolutely knows where it's going. And somewhere in the middle of all that: the quiet realisation that midlife might not be demolition, it might be editing.If you've ever stood in front of a wall thinking, “This one almost works… but not quite,” this conversation might feel familiar.Bring your undertones :)***************************✅T o put your name down on the waitlist for Becoming, here's the link:  www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming***************************

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt explores the intersection of travel, adventure, and women's health with Tara Short, founder of Green Edventures Tours. Tara shares her recent travel experience snorkeling with sperm whales in Dominica and discusses how her passion for nature and big animal encounters evolved from childhood dreams into a 17-year business leading adventure women travel groups. The conversation examines how travel serves as more than just recreation—it's a pathway to personal transformation, self-discovery, and healing that parallels the journey through illness and wellness. The episode delves into the unique barriers (historically) women faced in outdoor recreation and travel, from practical concerns like appropriate gear to deeper psychological fears about venturing into unfamiliar territory. Tara explains how her tours create non-competitive learning environments where women can step outside their comfort zones, whether climbing Kilimanjaro or simply joining a group of strangers on the other side of the world. She emphasizes the bravery inherent in saying "yes" to these experiences and how group travel allows women to rediscover themselves, let go of control, and reset their nervous systems through nature-based experiences. Dr. Amy and Tara announce an exciting collaboration: a Hot Springs and Mindfulness tour in Iceland scheduled for November 10-16, specifically designed to address the perimenopause and menopause. This intimate 10-person journey will combine wellness practices—including cold water therapy, flotation therapy, sound bathing, and visits with Icelandic wellness practitioners—with educational discussions about women's health during midlife transitions. The conversation concludes with reflections on how travel disrupts routines, promotes neuroplasticity, provides something to dream about, and ultimately contributes to both physical mobility and mental wellbeing as women age.

Die Wechseljahre sind ein goldenes Zeitfenster – eine Phase, in der du die Weichen für deine Gesundheit und Langlebigkeit stellen kannst. Doch oft fühlen sich Frauen in dieser Zeit überfordert, müde und allein gelassen. Genau hier setzt das Wechseljahres-Retreat an: Eine Woche nur für dich, in einem wunderschönen Bio-Hotel in Kärnten, umgeben von Natur, Ruhe und Gleichgesinnten.

Viele Frauen ab 40 trainieren regelmäßig – und wundern sich trotzdem, warum ihr Körper nicht straffer wird, warum Körperfett (vor allem am Bauch) bleibt und warum sich trotz Einsatz kaum etwas verändert. Das Problem ist selten fehlende Disziplin. Entscheidend ist das richtige Krafttraining ab 40.In dieser Folge erkläre ich die eine Regel im Krafttraining, die für Frauen ab 40 wirklich den Unterschied macht: progressive Überlastung. Genau dieses Prinzip sorgt dafür, dass Muskulatur aufgebaut wird, der Stoffwechsel aktiv bleibt und Körperfett reduziert werden kann – auch in den Wechseljahren und in der Postmenopause.Du erfährst:warum viele Trainingsprogramme für Frauen ab 40 nicht wirkenweshalb progressive Überlastung wichtiger ist als Trainingshäufigkeitwie Krafttraining Körperfett reduziert – auch am Bauchwas sich hormonell verändert und was trotzdem möglich istwie du trainieren musst, damit dein Körper wieder reagiertDiese Folge ist für Frauen zwischen 40 und 55, die keine Motivation brauchen, sondern klare, fundierte Antworten, welches Krafttraining in diesem Alter wirklich funktioniert.Werbepartner:Löwenanteil: Code Mimi HIER LANGKoRo: Code Mimi HIER LANGMein Magnesium komplex : code: Mimi HIER LANGMeine andere NEM (Omega 3, Vitamin D, Veganer Protein) gibt es auch hier: Code Mimi: HIER LANGSupport the show NEUES BUCH: ICH HABE ALLES IM GRIFF und GENAU DAS IST DAS PROBLEM Hier lang zu Thalia & Hier lang zu Amazon EASY FIT -6 Wochen, die wirken: HIER LANG weitere Bücher: PLATZ 1 SPIEGEL BESTSELLER: Mein Buch: WENN NICHT JETZT, WANN DANN?!

New York Times bestselling author Melani Sanders is out with "The Official WE DO NOT CARE Club Handbook," a guide for women in menopause ... and the men who deal with them.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx                                                                                         Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones.  Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?                                                                            Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?     Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you     Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3641 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Supporting Therapists and Clients Through Peri and Post Menopause - Door Knobbing in Counselling In Episode 359 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore getting over cancellation guilt, looking at what therapist cancellation guilt means, why it arises, and how to approach it with compassion and professionalism. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about supporting therapists and clients through perimenopause and post menopause - challenging outdated views and reframing this life stage as one of growth, not decline. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the phenomenon of doorknobbing - those last-minute disclosures from clients - and how to respond ethically and sensitively in practice. Getting Over Cancellation Guilt [starts at 03:09 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore getting over cancellation guilt, examining the emotional impact on therapists when they must cancel sessions and offering compassionate strategies to reframe the experience. Key points discussed include: Cancellation guilt is a common emotional experience, especially when sessions are called off at short notice. Ethically, prioritising self-care supports safer practice and protects the therapeutic relationship. Cancelling when unwell models healthy boundaries and gives clients permission to do the same. Communication is key - offer reassurance, alternative times, and avoid oversharing to prevent client worry. Contracting for cancellations upfront can reduce confusion and help manage expectations. Use supervision to explore guilt, recognise blind spots, and develop resilience in responding to these scenarios. Supporting Therapists and Clients Through Peri and Post Menopause [starts at 21:57 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill, REBT therapist and sports scientist, who shares insights from her CPD lecture on menopause and its implications for therapy. Key points from this conversation include: Menopause is often overlooked, under-celebrated, or medicalised - yet it is a significant life stage deserving validation. Therapists must reframe menopause as a natural transition rather than a deficit or decline. Ruth highlights how REBT and the ABCDE model can help clients challenge perfectionism and internalised stigma. Brain rewiring during menopause affects cognitive and emotional functioning - requiring compassion, not self-blame. The therapy space should allow for honest dialogue, normalising experiences like brain fog or hot flushes without shame. Menopause also affects therapists - being human and modelling acceptance benefits both client and practitioner. Door Knobbing in Counselling [starts at 45:39 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore ‘door knobbing' - when clients make significant disclosures just before leaving a session - and how practitioners can navigate this with care. Key points include: A doorknob comment is typically a serious or emotionally charged disclosure made at the end of a session. Clients may use this as a safety mechanism, dropping difficult truths when time is limited. Therapists should hold the client emotionally and assess immediate risk if necessary. Revisit doorknob comments in the next session with sensitivity - offer choice, don't impose an agenda. Supervision is essential when managing potential safeguarding issues or feeling overwhelmed. Know agency policies and procedures - particularly for harm to self or others - and act accordingly.

In today's episode - the finale of Season 5 - I am in conversation with luminary and renowned New York based gynecologist , Dr. Molly McBride.She shares how amazing it is to pivot later in life, how she enjoys being 60, and we talk about menopause - how it was for herself (tough) and how she helps women to manage this often complex time in life (peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopause).Dr. McBride is a passionate advocate for women's health and openly says, that she is disappointed in many of her colleagues, who simply still avoid to gain deeper knowledge about menopause and it's possible health consequences for women - from brain fog to osteoporosis, from "not feeling myself" to cardio-vascular diseases.Dr. McBride offers cutting edge services - and stresses the importance of listening to her patients, and validating their often still dismissed symptoms. She is a strong proponent of HRT - where applicable.She just relocated her practice to the Flat Iron district in Manhattan. And - being usually a step ahead, now also offers individual health plans for men.Enjoy this lively and informative episode.

For many of us menopause announces itself in our lives through some kind of betrayal. For today's podcast guest, that betrayal came in the form of a dismantling of identity that provoked one particular emotion on a whole new level - rage. Our guest today is the brilliant trauma-informed embodiment guide, facilitator, and heart activist Tanya Forgan. She explores menopause as a series of portals which show us where we're holding power and where we're not. Her initial ‘betrayal' phase of menopause rocked her to her core, coinciding with the pandemic and the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement and catalysing a dark night of the soul where she faced the harm she has experienced as a dual heritage woman in the UK. She goes on to illuminate the healing power of the repair phase of menopause, describing the rituals and community support that helped her to find the grace in the raging fire of the initiatory process. She shares what supported her to alchemise her anger and understand grief as the most exquisite expression of love in the revelation phase, and all she's discovering in the visioning and emergence portals where she is exploring the kind of grandmother she now wants to become. We explore:- How cycle awareness helped to prepare Tanya for the dismantling of menopause. - What helped Tanya when she lost her trust in her body and in society, including her amazing nervous-system-regulating yoga bath ritual!- What menopause taught Tanya about the power of circles for creating belonging, especially when it comes to race, gender, sexual experience, ability in body, power and oppression. ---Join our menopause online course: Menopause: The Great Awakener---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In this episode, we take a closer look at tirzepatide, a type 2 diabetes medication also used to help with weight loss. Postmenopause weight gain can be a normal part of aging, and there are some questions about whether medications like tirzepatide could be useful and safe for postmenopausal women. Host Aaron Lohr talks with Maria Daniela Hurtado Andrade, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic Florida, and Regina Castaneda, MD, a research fellow at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine & Science. They presented an abstract at ENDO 2025 titled, “One-Year Real-World Weight Loss Outcomes with Tirzepatide in Postmenopausal Women With and Without Hormone Therapy.” Show notes are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast/enp105 — for helpful links or to hear more podcast episodes, visit https://www.endocrine.org/podcast

As we enter our forties, many of us start to experience signals from our body that show us that we can't override ourselves anymore. We become more permeable, our energy levels shift, and we tend to have less capacity. If we don't clock these changes and find ways to adapt our lives, we'll start to experience trouble inside ourselves often in the form of stress, overwhelm and other physical, emotional and mental symptoms. Alexandra and Sjanie call these years the “autumn” of our menstruating years, or the Quickening, and in the collective conversation many refer to these years in the run up to menopause as perimenopause. Today we're exploring these perimenopause years and challenges as a kind of sacred preparation or apprenticeship for the great initiation of menopause - a series of unveilings that allow us to see what has been unconscious within us. Through stories from the community we explore why many of us feel scared of and unprepared for menopause, how the forties are preparing our psyches for the massive spiritual awakening ahead and why menstrual cycle awareness is our greatest ally through the twists and turns of perimenopauseWe explore:The importance of relishing your forties, and the authority and sense of self-knowledge that can come with this decade.How menstrual cycle awareness, and particularly paying attention to your premenstrual phase - the inner autumn of the cycle - can prepare us for the autumn challenges of the forties and perimenopause. How old trauma can resurface in perimenopause, and how to deeply meet what is arising and support yourself to encounter the big emotions  so that healing can take place. ---Register for our menopause online course: Menopause: The Great Awakener - Starts October 31st---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Send us a textEvery October 18th marks World Menopause Day, highlighting a transition affecting over a billion women worldwide who spend at least a third to half of their lives in this phase. Despite its universal nature, menopause remains poorly understood and inadequately addressed in many healthcare settings.Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker walks you through the menopause journey in this episode. She touches on the increasing severity of health issues during menopause, including metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which compound cognitive challenges like word-finding difficulties and "brain fog."Dr. Thacker will focus on the key to navigating menopause - establishing care with a knowledgeable women's healthcare clinician who can create an individualized approach based on a woman's unique symptoms, medical history, and preferences. By addressing menopause proactively rather than reactively, women can minimize symptoms while protecting their long-term health and vitality during this important life stage.

Our guest today is Tamu Mosley, who is a student of Alexandra and Sjanie's Menopause: The Great Awakener course, and is an initiated Sacred Woman, wholistic wellness facilitator, teacher, and mama. Tamu was guided by her mum to track her cycles from her very first bleed, and now, a few years post menopause, she sees how cycle awareness guided her through her menopause initiation.When Tamu was entering perimenopause she was studying with the world renowned spiritual teacher from Burkina Faso, Sobonfu Some, who said that when a woman enters menopause, she becomes the carrier of the water of life for the community. In our conversation Tamu shares about the water medicines that supported her through the fire and heat of the five phases of her menopause process, and have become core to her life purpose in her third act. Tamu is the founder of Wholistic Shine and Uchū Botanical and is a kitchen alchemist, a home herbalist, a flower essence practitioner and a student of cha dao (the way of tea). Tamu is guided by a deepening relationship with and devotion to the sacred element water through daily practice, prayer and intention.We explore:Hot flashes as an invitation to burn away self-defeating thoughts. How Tamu honours the anniversary of her final menstrual bleed each year with a water and tea ceremony, and how sitting with tea for over 300 days in a row has supported her relationship with her partner. What it has meant for Tamu to move from her earth body as a mother, to her water body during menopause, and how it has helped her to slowly and steadily create a new creative and work life, post-menopause.---Register for our free three-day menopause event: How Menopause Awakens Your Power on October 21st-23rd---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm convinced I have lipedema. I haven't been to the Dr to confirm yet. My torso, arms & legs all feel like I have grainy/pebbly texture beneath the skin. My knees have a weird “fat pad” on the side. I listened to another show where you mentioned lipedema, & I thought you said you have been able to help people reverse it. All of my research says it's incurable, but can manage it and calm swelling and pain, but the nodular fat will not go away without lipo. My questions are: are you familiar with any other scenario where texture I feel on myself as I described is normal? Or is that pebbly feeling always lipedema? Have you actually seen people get rid of the nodular lipedema fat & heal completely? Or just reduce swelling, pain & normal fat?Diet advice for this condition? Thanks                   Anonymous: Dr C! Thank you for all you do! I am a 52 yr old post menopausal female, who is pretty healthy, dove into your supplements and detox about 1 yr now. Recently I had normal labs taken by my MD with the results of my alanine aminotransferase (SGPT), serum slighty elevated from last year (range 10-34, mine was 53, last year it was 35). Negative for hepatitis, not a drinker, cholesterol is good, weigh 110 at 5'2, Ultrasound also showed a healthy liver...could it be certain supplements? Thanks in advance! PS have done the 7 day detox 3x now and will do again in May                                     Anonymous: Hey Dr Cabral....Love listening to you daily! Question ... how important is taking creatine if you are in menopause? Want to maintain healthy muscles whiles strength training but not really a fan about how I hear it may bloat you. Thanks for all you do!                                                                                                                                                                  Anonymous: I recently completed my 2nd DNAge test, included in my HPH membership. I was shocked to receive the results indicating that based on my methylation value, l aged an additional 6 years in 8 months! I basically follow Dr. Cabral's lifestyle recommendations to the letter. I eat a primarily Mediterranean diet, detox 4 times a year, sauna, resistance and cardio train, prioritize sleep, PEMF mat, minimal to no alcohol, and practice meditation and mindfulness. Additionally, I do the Big 5 four times per year. The only 2 things I have changed in the time between tests is that I have eliminated a very low dose of estrogen and progesterone that I was prescribed for post menopausal symptoms and I have added cold plunge 3 times per week. I am 63 years old. Please advise.                                                         Emily: My partner 23 (M) has recently started experiencing debilitating anxiety. This is not normal for him and he has not experienced anxiety like this before or at all. He was sick this last month with a 104 degree fever and for a few weeks was experiencing skin sensitivity in certain spots. What would you recommend in helping navigate this new anxiety and help him start feeling “normal” again.                                                                                                                                                        Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for your great podcasts- I look forward to them every week. My question is: what are your thoughts on the use of testosterone to help post-menopausal women maintain muscle mass and bone health as well as hypoactive sexual desire disorder? My physician is recommending a small amount of a compounded formulation of testosterone to be injected in the subcutaneous skin layer every 10 days. Are there any less invasive and more natural ways to achieve the same benefits that you would recommend? I have heard that testosterone is a controlled substance and I am wondering if it could potentially cause side effects such as hair loss on the head and hair growth in unwanted areas.
