The sad truth is that most women don't really understand what is going on with their bodies, especially when it comes to their hormones. And unfortunately, conventional medical doctors are more often than not lacking the knowledge necessary to help you with your hormone issues. This is why it is so important to take back control of your health by increasing your hormone intelligence and hormone literacy.
Bridging the Gap in Medicine With Dr. Aviva Romm
Aviva Romm MD is both a midwife and a Yale-trained MD and Board Certified Family Physician with specialties in Integrative Gynecology, Obstetric, and Pediatrics, with a focus on women’s endocrinology. She is a world-renowned herbalist, and author of 8 books, including her new book, Hormone Intelligence, which explores the impact of the world we live in on women’s hormones and health. She promotes a combination of holistic and natural medicine that is grounded in science and has been bridging the gap between traditional medicine, total health ecology, and good science for over three decades.
Becoming Your Own Healer
When it comes down to it, being healthy shouldn't be as hard as it is. The misinformation, dismissal, and refusal to listen to women have been deeply entrenched in conventional medicine, and it's time that came to an end.
Dr. Aviva’s life mission, and her new book, are all about empowering you with the knowledge you need to listen to your body, understand your hormones, and pay attention to the signs so that you can maintain or reclaim your hormone health. It's all about taking actionable tools and turning them into at-home remedies so that you can allow your body to heal itself.

Have you ever asked yourself, ‘why am I so tired?’ Most women have, and it's nothing to be ashamed about. Unfortunately, our society has told us that feeling burned out is a badge of honor when in reality, you are only hurting your physical, mental and emotional state. The good news is that you can get your energy back by natural means through simple, effective, and free ways.
Transforming Your Physical, Mental, and Emotional Health
Dr. Amy Shah is a double board-certified MD with training from Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard Universities. She was named one of mindbodygreen's Top 100 Women In Wellness to Watch in 2015 and has been a guest on many national and local media shows. After a car accident changed Amy’s perspective, she dedicated herself to helping busy women transform their health through fasting, utilizing the power of the microbiome, and balancing their hormones.
Are You Feeling Stressed, Wired, and Tired?
The truth is, we can only run on fumes for so long before it all catches up to us. Feeling exhausted all the time is the biggest symptom of burnout, and your energy is a direct result of what is going on with your body.
If you are feeling stressed, wired, and tired all at the same time, it is time to step out of your to-do list and examine your life through Dr. Amy’s tools and recommendations. You can get your health back through habits and rituals that honor the rhythms of your body.
Habits and Rituals to Heal Your Energy
Getting a good night's sleep is primary to energy and mitochondrial function. Dr. Amy’s ‘Circadian Fast’ routine helps to promote deep sleep by turning down blue light, limiting nighttime snacking, and turning off the stressors of your day. Taking the time to get your mental stress out during the day will ensure that it doesn't all catch up with you at bedtime and that you can get a good sleep.
In addition to circadian fasting, simple tools like eating for your menstrual cycle, getting natural light in the morning and setting time, energy, and people boundaries are crucial to getting your energy back. This Rushing Woman’s Syndrome has got to stop, and with Dr. Amy’s help, you can stop asking yourself why you are so effing tired, and start being your best self again.
Are you ready to stop putting a badge of honor on your burnout and start taking care of yourself? What are you most excited to do with all of your newfound energy? Share your thoughts with me in the comments section of the episode page.

I know how frustrating it is to gain weight out of nowhere—and nothing you do seems to make any difference. Over the course of less than a year, I gained 30 pounds even though I made NO changes to my exercise or diet plan… and no amount of sweating it out in the gym was making that weight budge!
If you’ve ever experienced weight resistance, you know the struggle. Your metabolism has tanked and it feels like you’re destined to size up your clothes and say goodbye to energy.
But here’s what I discovered: there are so many other hormones and factors that slow your metabolic function, drive insulin resistance, and make that weight stick fiercely to your midsection. But there are also some simple, proven ways to get it back on track!

Dr. Mindy Pelz D.C is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, nutrition, and functional medicine expert who has spent over two decades helping thousands of people successfully reclaim their health. She is a recognized leader in the alternative health field and a pioneer in the fasting movement, teaching the principles of a fasting lifestyle, diet variation, detox, hormones, and more.

Simple (but Necessary) Lifestyle Changes
By the time we reach the age of 40, a necessary lifestyle change needs to happen. If it doesn't, you will suffer more, and nobody wants that. The truth is, you can't outsource menopause, and it is up to you to listen to what your body is going through during this time of hormonal change.
When making the first steps towards this lifestyle change, intermittent fasting can be a great starting point. Intermittent fasting helps you to manage your insulin and prevent disease later in life. Your health is more important than ever before, and Dr. Mindy literally wrote the manual to help women step into menopause and all its glory.
Get Your Energy Back With Intermittent Fasting
By simply dividing your day into a window where you are eating and a window where you are fasting, you can get back your energy, improve your mental clarity, and manage your insulin resistance. The benefits of intermittent fasting, especially for women 40 and over, are huge, and the science proves it.
You cannot stress your way into a ‘better’ menopause. But, all it takes is a few simple lifestyle changes that can have endless benefits to your overall health and longevity. As your metabolism changes, so do your body's needs. With intermittent fasting, you can be sure that you are doing everything in your power to enter this next phase with ease and grace.

I believe with my whole being that our transformation is waiting on the other side of self-love. Me and my guest today, Kerry Tepedino, live in self-love every single day and credit it to the massive changes we have made in our lives both mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By cultivating more self-love and self-compassion, you can radically change your life for the better and become the woman that you want to be in the world.
Creating a Life of True Happiness
Kerry Tepedino is a global leader in women’s personal development focusing on mindset mastery, emotional intelligence, and self-love. She supports women in challenging their self-defeating behaviors and overcoming past traumas and fears to create a life of true happiness rooted in self-love. Her programs have supported thousands of women in up-leveling their lives in all areas, including physical, mental, and emotional health, relationships, professional careers, finances, and more.
Getting Clear on Your ‘Why’
Over ten years ago, Kerry made a contract with herself to always go after her big ‘why’. By getting clear on her vision, she has changed her life using self-love to reverse engineer what she wants out of life. Kerry has created the perfect formula for having the life you want and is here today to share the role of self-love in this formula.
By empowering yourself with the skills necessary to transform your life, again and again, you can feel confident in your ability to have your own back and course correct when you fall. Nobody’s life is perfect, but accepting and embracing self-love as part of your daily routine, you can create the perfect life for yourself.
Are You Ready to Have It All?
Kerry believes that if you stay stuck in yesterday's decisions and conversations, you will never achieve tomorrow's results. You are the common denominator between everything that is happening in your life, which is why you have to do the inner work through small daily steps in order to be in the driver's seat of your life again.

Women in our society are taught that being miserable is just a normal part of mid-life, and nothing could be further from the truth. By taking control over what is happening within your body during this time of transition, you can make sure that life is happening for you, not to you. It is totally within your power to reinvent who you are during this time and what this next phase is going to look like for you with the right knowledge and natural remedies.
Tuning Into Your Inner Wisdom with Dr. Christiane Northrup
Christiane Northrup, M.D., is a visionary pioneer in women’s health. Along with being a board-certified OB/GYN with more than thirty years of clinical experience, former assistant clinical professor of OB/GYN at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, she is also a three-time New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause and Goddesses Never Age. Dr. Northrup embraces medicine that acknowledges the unity of mind, body, emotions, and spirit and teaches women to create health by tuning into their inner wisdom.
Don’t Listen to the Narrative Society Pushes Onto You
Big pharma and the mainstream media have been pushing the agenda of pills, suffering, and the patriarchy for years. Because of this false story, women have been forced to buy into the narrative that there is nothing you can do when it comes to the transition of perimenopause and menopause and that this is the beginning of the end.
Dr. Christiane wants you to know that is absolutely incorrect. You have the power to transition from your previous ‘normal’ to something more beautiful than you could ever imagine. By owning your power and going inside yourself to discover the things that inspire and uplift you, it is possible to have this next phase be whatever you want it to.
Nourishing Your Body from Cell to Soul
The planned decrepitude that is part of our culture does not have to be part of your experience. Through the little ways, you love and nourish yourself from cell to soul will set the tone for how you experience this next phase of your journey. The changes your body is going through are not a betrayal, but simply an opportunity to push the envelope and discover what is truly going on inside of you.
Through simple, natural, and effective remedies, you can take back control of this transition, dip into the fountain of youth, and reclaim your voice. How you experience perimenopause and menopause is up to you, so what are you waiting for!
