  • Got Osteopenia or Osteoporosis? Follow This Protocol - Zora Benhamou

    Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I'm starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts. But more importantly, I'll show you the bigger picture beyond the T-score—and what the latest science (plus insights from leaders in the osteoporosis space) tells us about building strong, resilient bones through biohacking, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle.

    We cover:

    • The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

    • What your DEXA scan doesn't tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights

    • Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT

    • The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs

    • Which markers may be more important than BMD scores

    • The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones

    • Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health

  • The Protocol That Slows Aging and Reversed Her Multiple Sclerosis - Dr. Terry Wahls

    Do you have multiple sclerosis in your family history? Have you been recently diagnosed—or just want to lower your risk of this neurodegenerative autoimmune condition?

    Then this episode is for you.

    Dr. Terry Wahls returns to the show to help us connect the dots between MS, menopause, and midlife health. A former athlete turned wheelchair-bound physician, Dr. Wahls reversed her own secondary progressive MS using a radical diet and lifestyle protocol—and now she's teaching others to do the same.

    We cover:

    • A refresher on what MS is (and why it matters more in midlife)

    • The lifestyle non-negotiables Dr. Wahls uses to keep her MS in remission

    • The overlap between menopause and MS symptoms—and how to tell the difference

    • Why MS affects women 2–3 times more than men

    • How the menopause transition can accelerate MS progression

    • Brain health hacks and supplements to protect cognition in perimenopause and beyond

    • What most doctors still get wrong about Hashimoto's, MS, and other autoimmune conditions in women

    • Why strength, resilience, and radical healing are possible—even in your 60s and beyond

    Dr. Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, author, and clinical researcher specializing in multiple sclerosis. She was awarded the IFM's Linus Pauling Award for her groundbreaking work in patient care and advocacy.

    Diagnosed with secondary progressive MS and once confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair, Dr. Wahls used diet and lifestyle changes to transform her health. Her Wahls Protocol is now used by thousands of patients worldwide to treat chronic autoimmune and neurological conditions.

    Books by Dr. Wahls:

    • The Wahls Protocol

    • The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions

    • The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life

  • Don't Fall For These Lies About Sex, Libido and Menopause - Dr. Saida Désilets

    Is your libido MIA—and testosterone cream isn't cutting it?

    This episode may just blow your mind.

    Dr. Saida Désilets joins us to reveal what most midlife women have never been taught about desire, intimacy, and reclaiming pleasure during and after the menopause transition.

    We cover:

    • Why libido loss in menopause isn't just about low testosterone

    • The bio-psycho-social model of desire (and why it matters)

    • What "sexual sovereignty" actually means—and why it's essential in midlife

    • How long-term relationships impact desire (and how to reignite it)

    • The role of self-pleasure and how to get comfortable with it

    • One powerful first step to reclaiming your sexual vitality

    • The biggest lie women are told about sex after menopause

    Dr. Saida Désilets is a French-Canadian who holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology, blending mind–body–spirit healing with conscious sexuality. She is considered an international body-philosopher, speaker, writer, and pioneer in the field of sexual sovereignty and embodied pleasure. She is a Tedx speaker, and her scientifically-proven work on sexual sovereignty globally impacts professionals and the public. She wrote a couple of books "Emergence of the Sensual Woman: Awakening Our Erotic Innocence" and "Desire".

  • Tired Of Confusing Lab Tests? A Guide To Lab Analysis - Joe Cohen

    Do you have a pile of DNA files, lab results, or hormone panels floating around your computer—or worse, stuffed into a drawer?

    If you're taking hormone therapy, thyroid medication, or trying to optimize your blood sugar, you need a smarter way to track your data.

    That's why I invited Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, to show you how easy it can be to organize and interpret your health info with powerful, AI-driven tools.

    We cover:

    • What lab tests midlife women should prioritize (beyond the basics)

    • Why keeping your files in one place can help uncover patterns and root causes

    • The tests that reveal how well you detox—and how this impacts your hormones

    • How I've tracked my own data over 6+ years as a digital nomad

    • Other platforms like Inside Tracker and QuestHealth—what you should know

    Joe Cohen is not a doctor—but he's a trusted names in genetics-based health optimization. As founder and CEO of SelfDecode, Joe helps thousands of people worldwide get personalized health recommendations based on DNA, lab results, and lifestyle data. After battling chronic health issues for years with little help from conventional medicine, Joe turned to biohacking, genetics, and self-experimentation. The result?

  • Can You Reverse Osteoarthritis? Menopause Impacts on OA - Ali Mobasheri

    Do your knees hurt when you stand up? Are you losing range of motion in your hips? Have you been told you have osteoarthritis—but left without real guidance or solutions?

    You're not alone. When I was first diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, I didn't even know what it meant. A quick online search gave me generic advice like "lose weight," which as an athletic person was the last thing I needed to do. Maybe you're in the same boat—searching for better answers.

    That's why I invited Professor Ali Mobasheri to the show. He's one of the world's leading experts on osteoarthritis, aging, and joint health—and in this conversation, he breaks down what we really need to know about OA and can we reverse it, especially during midlife and menopause.

    We cover:

    • What osteoarthritis actually is and how it differs from other types of arthritis and osteoporosis

    • Why osteoarthritis is not just a "wear and tear" condition

    • How widespread osteoarthritis truly is—and why the numbers are underestimated

    • How menopause influences joint health and increases OA risk

    • Why younger adults are increasingly being diagnosed

    • Whether it's possible to reverse osteoarthritis

    • Which treatments and holistic strategies are most promising

    • Why research around hormone therapy and OA is still lacking

    Professor Ali Mobasheri is a globally recognized expert in musculoskeletal biology and osteoarthritis research. He is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Biology at the University of Oulu in Finland and a Past President of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Chief Researcher & International Adviser at the State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine in Lithuania

    He is an active member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS). His research explores the intersection of inflammation, metabolism, and joint aging, with a focus on early diagnosis and prevention.

    He also serves as an adviser to the World Health Organization and sits on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those focused on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and regenerative medicine. He has published over 400 scientific papers and holds an h-index of 78—an extraordinary achievement in academic research.

    In this episode, Dr. Shah shares how he's transforming the way we treat women in perimenopause and postmenopause by focusing on real root causes—not just symptom management.

    We cover:

    • What he learned about women's health as a surgeon

    • How he approaches menopause differently than most doctors

    • The truth about hormone testing during the transition

    • The real drivers of Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and heart disease in women

    • Why so many doctors are confused about menopause care
