In this empowering, fascinating, and fun episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by internationally respected hormone expert, best-selling author, and educator Dr. Lindsey Berkson. With over four decades of experience in clinical practice, hormone research, and medical education, Dr. Berkson brings unmatched depth to the conversation about one of today's most pressing and misunderstood health issues: hormone disruption.   Together, they unpack how declining hormones—especially estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin—are impacting intimacy, energy, fertility, and long-term health. Drawing from her background as a Distinguished Hormone Scholar at the Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane/Xavier Universities, Dr. Berkson explains why libido is not just about desire—it's a vital sign of overall health.   She also shares her personal journey as a DES-exposed daughter, cancer survivor, and thought leader in functional endocrinology, giving the episode rare perspective and actionable clarity.   Tune in, take notes, and begin rebuilding the biochemical foundation of your vitality.   Some of What You'll Learn in This Episode:   How endocrine disruptors like plastics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals interfere with hormone signaling The global rise in Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) and its role in locked-up hormones and low libido Why loss of oxytocin is contributing to anxiety, disconnection, and immune decline The impact of elevated SHBG, cytokines, and inflammation on fertility, mood, and aging The link between hormone disruption and early-onset estrogen-driven cancers How safe, bioidentical hormone therapy differs from conventional approaches—and why it matters Why “loss of libido” should be treated as a clinical warning sign, not dismissed as a lifestyle issue Foundational tools for supporting hormone health through detox, nutrient therapy, and intimacy The key lab markers most conventional providers overlook—and how to find a properly trained hormone specialist Why hormone health is central to brain protection, immune resilience, and emotional regulation   More from Dr. Berkson: Dr. Berkson is the author of numerous books including Hormone Deception, Safe Hormones, Smart Women, and Sexy Brain. She holds patents in bioidentical hormone therapy, has collaborated on research in estrogen receptor science, and consults internationally on nutrition for hormone-driven cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, renal disorders, and more.   She teaches continuing education for medical professionals and is the founder of multiple educational platforms for both clinicians and the public.   Resources Mentioned:   Six-Week Foundations of Healing Course:  https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/foundations Website: www.drlindseyberkson.com Memberships: drlindseyberkson.com/membership Substack: drlindseyberkson.substack.com Everything Hormones CME Course: drlindseyberkson.com/everythinghormones Vilified to Vindicated Course (V2V): drlindseyberkson.com/v2v Nutritional Medicine by Dr. Alan Gaby: https://doctorgaby.com   Looking for personalized support?

What if burnout isn’t about being too busy—but about being “fine”? In this honest solo episode of Leading You, Julie unpacks the quiet, insidious kind of burnout that so many high-achieving women experience—the one that hides behind the word “fine.” It’s not the dramatic collapse we associate with burnout. It’s the slow erosion that happens when your choices don’t match your values. From juggling work and ageing parents to people-pleasing and pushing through, this episode will help you spot the early warning signs and reconnect with your energy before burnout takes hold. If you’ve been feeling numb, resentful, or simply “off,” this is your invitation to pause, reflect, and choose differently. In this episode, we cover: Why burnout isn’t just about workload—it’s about misalignment The truth behind the word “fine” and why it’s a red flag How small daily choices either drain or empower you Real-life examples from women juggling too much for too long Why reclaiming your energy is the ultimate leadership move Three powerful reflection prompts to help you reset Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome and introduction01:00 – The danger behind the word “fine”02:00 – What the burnout stats are really telling us04:00 – Misalignment: the hidden root cause06:00 – Real-life story: an executive caught in the juggle08:00 – Why burnout is a self-leadership issue09:00 – You are the CEO of your energy11:00 – The power of the pause13:00 – 3 reflection questions to uncover what’s really going on15:00 – Burnout as erosion, not explosion16:00 – Final thoughts and your invitation to shift Ready for a reset?Download the Clarity Compass to reconnect with what matters most and lead with intention.Know someone stuck in “fine”?

They run companies, manage households, juggle a million responsibilities—and still find themselves accepting the bare minimum in love. Why? In this Summer of Love kickoff, Hilary calls out the quiet epidemic of high-achieving women settling for less in their relationships. From doing all the emotional labor to accepting the bare minimum in return, Hilary spells out what “crumbs” really look like, and why so many women accept them without even realizing it. The truth? Starving women eat crumbs. If you've spent a lifetime feeling emotionally underfed, even the smallest scrap of affection can feel like a meal. But that won't get you the love you want, and it's not your fault. The fix? Stop looking outward, and start filling yourself up from within. If you're ready to quit the chase and start receiving real love, this episode is your wake-up call.   Episode Highlights: The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs you're accepting crumbs Why blaming men misses the point entirely How emotional deprivation starts early—and shows up in dating The difference between chasing love and attracting it What it actually takes to become the woman who won't settle   Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Why Strong Women Settle for Crumbs in Love [00:56] Signs You're Settling for Less in Relationships [02:10] How It Feels When You Accept Less Than You Deserve [03:01] The Real Problem Isn't Him—It's You [04:07] How Early Experiences Shape Your Standards [05:32] The Solution: Heal, Fill, and Stop Settling [07:10] Learn How to Get What You Want   Stop chasing scraps and start receiving the whole damn cake. Hilary shows you how to go from starving to self-fed—and why you are the only one who can do it.

Picking up where they left off, Lisa and Kendra G dive even deeper into the lies women are told—and tell themselves—about love, relationships, and self-worth. Part 2 gets into the nitty-gritty of how to stop comparison, heal from toxic relationships, and become the kind of woman everyone wants to be around: truly confident, truly unshakeable. Kendra and Lisa tackle the hardest truths about being “too picky,” the myth that women aren't “complete” until chosen, and how unrealistic expectations derail happiness. They also get vulnerable, discussing the aftermath of heartbreak, the slow erosion of self-esteem in bad relationships, and the moment-to-moment battles to refuse to lower your standards. Expect actionable wisdom on self-assessment, rebuilding after a breakup, and making sure your confidence is built on YOUR foundation—not someone else's validation. Plus, a little fun as they talk about Kendra's dating app and spicy new card game!

There's an ingredient that nobody's really talking much about that's being sneaked into our food and is eroding our first line of defense against all of the chronic diseases of aging.  The most likely things to take away our resilience or kill us early are metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and autoimmune diseases.  We have a built-in protective defense system, but it's getting literally dissolved away by this food ingredient.  Eliminating it will help you age at an elite level so you're capable of living more as you get older, rather than less.Come hang out with meSend me a message: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comTake My Udemy Course about The Basics of Female Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy:

Scaling a business requires you to sacrifice more of your time and effort. It's an unfortunate reality that all entrepreneurs need to accept. Or is it? I argue that this widely held belief is just a trap that holds us back from achieving our goals. Many of my clients initially expressed concerns like, "I don't have the time to take on more people," or "How will I market effectively?" They're already pouring every ounce of energy into client delivery. It leads to a vicious cycle, where scaling seems synonymous with burnout or failure. But here's a vital truth: scaling smarter, not harder, is entirely within reach. Let me share some pivotal strategies that have transformed not just my work, but also the businesses of so many women I admire.1. Crafting the Right Offer Strategy: Rather than haphazardly casting an offer into the market, engage in meaningful conversations with current clients to refine what you can provide. I vividly remember spending numerous hours in one-to-one consultancy, feeling drained. It was market research and a clear offer refinement that transitioned me into a thriving mastermind model. Your offer should feel enticing both to you and your clients — a win-win. 2. Keep it Clear and Concise: Effective, strategic marketing needn't monopolise your time. Clear scheduling and messaging are your allies here. Take clients who've successfully used a mix of paid and organic marketing, like Facebook ads paired with robust email strategies. The key is not simply creating more content, but ensuring each piece you make works hard across multiple platforms. By doing so, your messaging reaches further without demanding additional labour from you. 3. Smart Pricing Strategy: Lastly, revisit your pricing strategy to guide clients towards your new, scalable offer. Often, the allure of one-to-one services persists due to perceived value, meaning your model will remain labour-intensive unless adjusted. Either remove non-scalable services or adjust their pricing to encourage clients towards your scalable offerings. This strategy not only aligns pricing with business growth but also preserves your time. Ultimately, smart scaling frees up your time, allowing for more growth and increased revenue. It's not about working harder but working with precision. I've used these strategies to scale with confidence and spaciousness—and I want the same for you.LINKSDM me the word "Video" on Instagram to receive my FREE video sales letter scriptThe FREE Mastermind Launch PlaybookConnect with Ellie: Website:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Episode 2284: Lisa Merlo-Booth explores why intelligent women often settle for unsatisfying relationships, highlighting the detrimental effects of staying in toxic marriages. She advocates for a balanced approach where women learn to assert their needs with quiet strength, ultimately fostering healthier dynamics and personal well-being. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lisamerlobooth.com/articles-why-smart-women-settle-for-dumb-relationships/ Quotes to ponder: "Women benefit from marriages if and only if they are satisfied in them. When they are not satisfied, it is, in fact, harmful to their health to be married." "It's time to do this with a new, more refined feminine power. We do not need to nag, bitch, or rage but instead stand up with a quiet, respectful, powerful strength that is centered, calm, and comes from within." "When women learn to harness this quiet strength, they will set in motion a ripple effect that will influence relationships across the world." Learn more about your ad choices.
