Menopause is a universal event for every woman. But what if you could navigate perimenopause and menopause on your own terms? While I truly believe we need to lean heavily on natural tools like nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle as optimal tools for longevity, it is also essential to consider every single tool available to us to expand our longevity and quality of life.
Menopause at Every Age With Dr. Felice Gersh
Dr. Felice Gersh, M.D., is an award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, a comprehensive women’s healthcare practice. Her latest book, Menopause: 50 Things You Need to Know, is a foundational reference guide to what women can expect from menopause at every stage and what you can do about it.
Learn About the Collateral Damage
Menopause is about way more than just your period stopping. Menopause impacts everything from your metabolic and cardiovascular health to your neurological functioning, immune system, and everything in between.
The more that you can learn about the changes that your body is going through, the more you can prepare for this important transition in your life. By empowering yourself with the proactive steps that you can take, you can approach menopause with many different ways of thinking to find the combination that works for your unique body.
Using Every Tool in Your Tool Belt
Not all hormones are created the same. Dr. Gersh has studied the impacts of different types of hormones and believes that bio-identical hormones can help you mimic nature as much as possible so that you can optimize how your body functions, even past your reproductive years.
We don't realize how important our hormones are until they are gone. Bio-identical hormones can help you improve your metabolism, mitochondrial function, and overall quality of life so that you can experience menopause on your own terms.

Being a mother is not for the faint of heart. Being responsible for the health, safety, and wellbeing of another human can be overwhelming in the best of times, but when you experience shame and judgment from your community, it can make everything feel impossible.
Releasing Shame and Embarrassment With Bailey Gaddis
Bailey Gaddis is the author of Asking for a Pregnant Friend and Feng Shui Mommy. She is passionate about helping new moms address the misunderstanding and taboos around pregnancy and motherhood so that they can enjoy this new journey. Bailey is a childbirth preparation educator, birth doula, hypnotherapist, and regular contributor to various media outlets. She offers women holistic support while providing a space where women can be vulnerable and release the shame and embarrassment that can come from motherhood.
Addressing the Fear of the Unknown
A lot of the anxiety that comes from motherhood stems from the fear of the unknown. When women can get quality answers to their questions, Bailey has seen firsthand that their fear is reduced, and their shame around their struggles is met with support.
Everyone under the sun seems to have an opinion about how you should care for your baby. The stress and shame we experience from the external influences pull us away from our intuition and make it difficult for us to trust our instincts. But when you can learn to trust yourself, you will find what works best for your family.
You Hold the Answers Inside of Yourself
Rarely will there ever be a perfect answer for any situation, especially when it comes to parenting. But, when you can listen to your inner wisdom, you will most likely be given an intuitive answer that will be the best fit for you and your family.
Nothing that you feel, experience, or think during this journey is wrong. This is a wild and complex journey with a lot of challenges, which is why you need to give yourself grace and forgiveness and be gentle with yourself as you navigate this wild, wonderful time. While new motherhood can be scary, it can also be a magical journey with the right support.
Are you a new mom, or know someone who is about to become a new mom? Share how Bailey’s tips on motherhood resonated with you in the comments section of the episode page.

When it comes to pelvic floor issues, a lot of women struggle in silence. But the truth is, there is so much that we can do to correct pelvic floor issues while improving our overall health. While very few people talk about pelvic floor health, it can impact your body as a whole, even if you have never had babies. This is why it is so essential to understand what is going on with your pelvis so that you can get back to living life without worrying about where the closest bathroom is.
Everything in the Body Is Connected
Erica believes that we have to stop looking at the body as individual muscles and instead focus on how our body as a whole is working. While it is very rare for any woman to be in perfect alignment, it is crucial to look at how the right and left sides of your body work together to identify where dysfunction may be causing a problem.
Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and stubborn weight around the pelvis can all be signs of pelvic floor dysfunction, even if you aren't having specific pelvic symptoms. By working to correct the imbalances of your pelvic position and release the tension in your fascia, you can get your deep core working for you again.
The Problem With Kegels
As women, we have been told to follow traditional ab exercises and pelvic floor exercises such as Kegels. But these movements could actually be leading to my dysfunction and weakness than if you engage with core exercises that activate your pelvic floor the right way. Erica’s program helps women strengthen the pelvic floor fascia and their deep core muscles to hold up the organs more effectively and relieve pelvic floor symptoms.
It is time to ditch the mindset of going faster and harder to gain results. Your pelvic floor is asking you to slow down and take care of your body now so that you can speed up later. It is only by getting to the root cause of our pelvic floor imbalance that we can get out of pain and dysfunction once and for all.
Are you ready to start paying attention to this vital part of your body to improve your overall health? Share what shocked you most about your pelvic floor with me in the comments section of the episode page.

As a young woman, I was told that I would win if I leveraged my stress and hustled harder than anyone. While these stress-fueled wins can feel good at the moment, ultimately, they do not provide us with peace or inner happiness. While society tells us that leveraging our stress makes us superwomen, it is really by slowing down and prioritizing ourselves that we can show up for ourselves and our families in the best way possible.
Stop Living Your Life Rushing
If you pride yourself on moving fast, not letting anyone down, or saying no, while still feeling exhausted throughout the day, there is a good chance you are somewhere on the Rushing Woman’s Syndrom spectrum.
While you may not think you are rushing because you can handle everything, your liver, gall bladder, kidneys, adrenals, ovaries, brain, digestive system, and immune system disagree. Living in survival mode created by stress is no way to live, and the physical symptoms you experience because of this stress will only result in you getting sicker and feeling more miserable.
Start Your Day by Design
The best way to get out of living in survival mode is to start your day by design rather than by default. A morning ritual that prioritizes your self-care can take as little as 10-20 minutes every day and will help shift your energy and support your emotional well-being.
By setting your mind and body up for success through a morning ritual, you can support yourself throughout the day and learn how to handle those moments of stress better when they inevitably show up. Shifting your mindset towards creating peace in your day from the very beginning will help heal your symptoms and set you up to refuel and recharge so that you can get out there and keep kicking booty.
Are you ready for a different version of you that feels energized, happy, and at peace? Share what self-care tips you are implementing into your morning routine with me in the comments section of the episode page.

How to Rescue Your Hormones and Energy
Magnesium is critical for your body in more ways than one. Because it is so important, we burn through it way faster than you would expect. While the symptoms of magnesium deficiency can be subtle, once you start introducing the proper amount of magnesium into your routine, you will be able to feel the difference right away, especially when it comes to your energy.
The Magic of Magnesium
Everything from your ability to relax and stay calm, get a good night’s sleep, painful period or perimenopause symptoms, insulin resistance, cortisol levels, and more can be affected if you do not have proper amounts of magnesium.
We do not talk about the benefits of magnesium enough. This magic supplement can flip the switch when it comes to your energy level and can literally rescue your hormones. If you want to feel better faster, adding magnesium into your routine could be the saving grace you have been searching for.

Have you ever considered that your yo-yo dieting or emotional eating rollercoaster could be coming from how you see yourself subconsciously? Many women use food to cope with life or unmet needs, which is where the self-sabotage starts. Mindful eating and getting to the root cause of your negative self-talk are two massive pieces of the puzzle regarding our identity and how it impacts our weight.
Finding Your Sparkle Again with Deborah Capaccio
Deborah Capaccio has helped hundreds of middle-aged women permanently overcome their problems with yo-yo dieting and emotional eating by focusing on living an authentic, true life. The way we think about and speak to ourselves directly impacts the bad habits we engage with, which is why it is Deborah’s mission to help other women find their sparkle again.
Getting Clear on How Your Subconscious Beliefs Manifest
Women, especially those of us in middle-age, tend to give themselves to everyone else and leave their needs in the dust. Instead of working from a place of deficit, it is important to take yourself off the hook and identify what you are saying to yourself on a daily basis.
When you take the time to look at where you are working from to get through your day and identify how you may be speaking negatively to yourself, you can stop the external manifestation of those beliefs and exchange them for something that will serve you better.
Brain First, Body Second
One of the most powerful things you can do to reverse stubborn weight gain and ultimately live a more fulfilled life is to reprogram your brain from negative self-talk to positive self-talk. Deborah's ‘Fit Mind Formula’ helps women form healthy habits based on constructive affirmations that feel in line with who they want to be in this world.
When women decide to do something, it is game time. You owe it to yourself to live your life from a place of abundance and happiness. Deborah is proof that if you change your mindset and show up as your authentic self, your reality and your body will follow.
Are you ready to stop self-sabotaging by changing the way you see yourself subconsciously? Share what surprised you most about the connection between mindset and bad habits with me in the comments section of the episode page.

The prevalence of autoimmune disorders in the past 50 years has risen so drastically that autoimmune disease is now the 3rd most common category of health issues in the United States. So what is causing so many Americans to develop these conditions? While many factors contribute to your overall health, food and gut health are the foundation for a working immune system.
Finding a Balance with Donna Mazzola
Dr. Donna Mazzola is a Pharmacist with a Master’s degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition. After obtaining her Doctorate in Pharmacy, Donna realized that it is only by finding a balance between medicine and nutrition that we can impact disease. After receiving her Hashimotos diagnosis in 2015, she created her blog Dr. Autoimmune Girl to help others identify the root causes of their diseases and take back control of their health.
Understanding the Why
Understanding the ‘why’ behind your autoimmune condition can be a frustrating journey. The greatest challenge that people suffer from is the unexplained symptoms that can go unanswered for years before receiving a diagnosis.
Donna knows that in order to better control what is happening in your body, you have to understand it better. By asking the right questions, learning how to decipher our labs, and advocating for ourselves, we can delay the progression of symptoms and take back control of your autoimmune disease rather than letting the disease control you.
Heal Your Gut to Heal Your Condition
Autoimmune conditions are proven to be the gateway to other illnesses down the line, which is why it is so important to be mindful of your symptoms and address your autoimmune condition as soon as possible. The majority of us live in a chronic inflammatory state without realizing it, and a gut protocol will always be your best friend when finding healing.
Whether you have an autoimmune disease or not, starting with your gut is key if you have unexplained symptoms. Focusing on your gut health has many side benefits when it comes to not only autoimmunity but your overall health and longevity. While you may not like to hear it, it is time to identify your drivers of inflammation in order to heal your autoimmunity and find the balance you are missing.
