When your sweet kid turns into a stormy, door-slamming teen overnight, it can shake your whole home, especially if you’re juggling perimenopause, sleepless nights, and endless worries. How do you stay calm, keep connected, and still hold boundaries when emotions are running high?

In this honest and empowering conversation, Dr Shauna sits down with Kim Muench (pronounced Minch, like “pinch” with an “m”), Founder of Real Life Parent Guide and Certified Parent Coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting. She is a mum of five and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Becoming Me While Raising You. In this episode, Kim shares practical wisdom on parenting teens and emerging adults (18–30) with calm, confidence, and compassion, shifting from fear and control to connection and guidance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Understand what’s really changing in the teen brain (and why moods swing).

• Learn how to stay calm and not take the sting personally.

• Use “early and often” scripts for tough topics: porn, alcohol, sex, identity.

• Set healthy phone boundaries and create screen-free zones that stick.

Feeling foggy, flat, or just not yourself? You’re not alone — and your hormones could be the reason. In this insightful episode, Dr Sunita Chelva, Dr Aoife O’Sullivan, and Dr Rachel Rubin explain how hormonal changes in perimenopause affect your brain, mood, sleep, libido, and energy — and how HRT, testosterone, and vaginal hormones can help restore balance and wellbeing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why there’s no “too young” age to explore HRT when symptoms impact life.
• How the pill differs from HRT and when body-identical hormones matter.
• What testosterone can (and can’t) do for libido, focus, and fatigue.
• The role of estrogen and progesterone in brain, bones, sleep, and heart.
• How to balance benefits and risks when deciding how long to stay on HRT.
• Why vaginal hormones (estrogen, DHEA, testosterone) support comfort, continence, and sex at any age.
• Practical guidance for monitoring and dosing without over-testing.
• A fresh look at what “natural menopause” means today.

What if aging didn’t mean slowing down, losing vitality, or struggling with intimacy? In this episode of All About You, Dr. Shauna Watts sits down with Dr. Amy Killen, internationally recognized regenerative and anti-aging physician, to explore how hormone therapy, sexual longevity, and regenerative medicine are transforming midlife health.

We break down:

• The real role of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone in energy, mood, and sexual vitality.
• Cutting-edge regenerative therapies like PRP, stem cells, and exosomes—what actually works vs. what’s hype.
• Why sexual health is a window into overall longevity—and how to future-proof confidence and intimacy.
• How lifestyle, prevention, and hormone optimization can help you age vibrantly and stay connected—mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or midlife shifts, this conversation is packed with science-backed insights to help you thrive, not just survive.
