Do you feel back pain? Shoulder pain? Hip pain? Have you had injuries or issues and been told you need surgery? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, fitness expert Natalie Jill opens up about her long journey through pain, surgeries, and recovery from breast explants to her most recent disc replacement surgery.

We cover:

• The emotional and physical toll of multiple surgeries

• Her back injuries, type A personality and ultimately her disc replacement recovery

• The neuroscience of pain and how to retrain the brain's response

• How to prepare your body before surgery and accelerate recovery

• Why we shouldn't over-biohack, especially when the basics aren't in place

• Natalie's foundational healing habits for the best recovery and beyond

Natalie Jill is a high-performance coach, licensed master sports nutritionist, and fitness expert who helps women redefine aging through mindset and metabolic health. After decades of working in fitness, she faced her own series of medical challenges that forced her to completely rebuild her body and mindset from the ground up.

If you've started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and you're not feeling great right away, don't panic. You're not broken, and your hormones aren't either.

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the most common side effects women experience when starting HRT: what causes them, how to fix them, and when to talk to your doctor.

• Why side effects are common when starting HRT and why they don't mean it's "not working"

• The most common side effects backed by research

• How to know if your estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone levels are too high or too low

• When to see your doctor and what questions to ask

Ever wondered how women like Kris Jenner seem to age in reverse – and what's really going on behind those flawless "facelifts"? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carolyn Chang, one of San Francisco's top plastic surgeons, to break down what's fact, what's finesse, and what's just good timing.

From menopause to maintenance, Dr. Chang pulls back the curtain on how aging really works, and why starting earlier might actually be the key to aging gracefully. If you've ever debated a little "tweak" or simply want to understand the science of facial rejuvenation, this one's for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• Kris Jenner's latest facelift - what was really done (and why it worked).

• Why early intervention can lead to more natural, lasting results.

• How genetics, lifestyle, and maintenance all shape how we age.

• The powerful role of estrogen and menopause in facial aging.

• Top non-surgical treatments to refresh skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

• What to know before going under the knife and how AI and robotics are shaping the future of aesthetic surgery.

Dr. Carolyn Chang is a board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon based in San Francisco and is known as one of the nation's leading experts in natural-looking facial rejuvenation, including the deep plane facelift, complex breast surgery, and body contouring tailored to post-menopausal and post-pregnancy changes. Every year she makes it to Castle Connolly's Best Doctors list, and her work has been widely featured in the media. You probably already came across her work. Harper's Bazaar named her to its Hot List of the 24 Best Beauty Surgeons in the country, and W Magazine recognized her as a top surgeon for revisional work. She's been on shows like The Doctors, CNN, and National Geographic, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker.

Ever feel stuck in "fight or flight" mode no matter how much you meditate, sleep, or eat well? You're not alone, your vagus nerve might be the missing link. This powerful nerve connects your brain to nearly every organ in your body and influences everything from mood and inflammation to digestion and hormones. Today, I'm joined by "The Vagus Nerve Doc", a functional medicine expert Dr. Navaz Habib to decode the science of the vagus nerve and show you how to strengthen it naturally for better resilience, hormone balance, and longevity.

In this episode we dive into:

• What the vagus nerve really does and why it's key to your "rest and digest" response

• How chronic stress keeps your immune system stuck in inflammation mode

• The 4 types of stress that quietly sabotage vagus nerve function

• Why heart rate variability (HRV) is the ultimate measure of nervous system health

• The "VAGUS" protocol to optimize brain-body communication and lower inflammation

• How mindset, breath work, and nutrition support vagus nerve function during menopause

Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," is a best-selling author of 2 books - "Activate Your Vagus Nerve" and "Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve" and host of The Health Upgrade Podcast. After using functional medicine to overcome his own health challenges, Dr. Habib built Health Upgraded, an online health program implementing his VAGUS protocol, to guide parents and professionals to enhance their health by unlocking the healing power of the Vagus nerve to reduce the effects of stress and inflammation.

Is it possible to make sense of all the conflicting advice on hormones in midlife? In this second part of our Ask Us Anything series, my meno bestie Karen Martel and I sit down to tackle your biggest questions about hormone health, menopause, and beyond.

Karen is a Certified Hormone Specialist, Transformational Nutrition Coach, and host of The Hormone Solution Podcast. She's also walking through the menopause transition herself, which makes her perspective both expert and personal.

Together, we dive deep into what the labs really mean, how to use hormones wisely, and what else women can do to protect their bones, brains, and hearts.

We cover:

• How to interpret hormone test results like FSH and estradiol (and why "optimal" matters more than "normal")

• The role of sauna use in detoxification and hormone health (plus our personal routines)

• Why progesterone is powerful for mood, sleep, and bone health, even without a uterus

• What to consider if you're starting HRT later in life

• Strategies to support bone health beyond just HRT, and why DEXA scans don't tell the whole story

• The importance of personalizing your approach with a trusted provider

Is perimenopause depression real? Yes, and it's finally being talked about.

In today's episode, I sit down with journalist and TV presenter turned author, Shelly Horton, who shares her deeply personal journey through perimenopause, depression, and the turning points that helped her reclaim her life. Her honesty, humor, and fierce advocacy will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to take action for your own health.

We cover:

• How Shelly pivoted from being a well-known TV presenter to writing her new book I'm Your Peri-Godmother

• Why she never connected depression to menopause until it nearly cost her everything

• The one thing that probably saved her life (and could save yours too)

• Her personal strategies to overcome depression and live her best life today

• The role of support and HRT in her recovery

• Her campaign in Australian Parliament for GP education, workplace policies, and affordable HRT access

• What she wants every woman to know if you're struggling through perimenopause or menopause

Shelly Horton is an Australian journalist, TV presenter, and women's health advocate whose career spans ABC, Channel Seven, and Channel Nine. Her own perimenopause journey sparked her mission to smash the stigma around menopause and inspired her bestselling book I'm Your Peri-Godmother: A Happily-Ever-After Guide to Kicking Perimenopause in the Ovaries. The book sold out on Amazon day one, and hit number one in the menopause category for four weeks. Shelly also co-founded Don't Sweat It – Peri & Menopause, a workplace training company helping organizations better support women through the menopause transition. Beyond advocacy, she runs ShellShocked Media, where she teaches leaders and entrepreneurs how to own the stage, show up on social media, and speak with impact.

Is your metabolism stuck in perimenopause? If you're feeling sluggish, moody, or like your body just isn't responding the way it used to, you're not alone. In this episode, I sit down again with one of my favorite girlfriends in this space, Dr. Mariza Snyder, to talk about five ways you can reset your perimenopausal (and postmenopausal) self so you can move through this phase with power and grace.

Mariza always brings the fun, the science, and the real-life perspective, because she's not just a doctor, she's also navigating menopause herself…with a 5-year-old at home! (Hero status.)

We cover:

• Why mindset, movement, nutrition, and yes…snacks…play such a big role in your metabolic reset

• Simple sleep hacks that actually work (and don't involve giving up everything you love)

• The real kind of self-care that matters in midlife (hint: it's not just an Epsom salt bath)

• The six most important labs every woman should get in midlife to reclaim her energy and protect her metabolic health

• The messy, funny, very real side of balancing it all: motherhood, menopause, and your own health

Dr. Mariza Snyder is a powerhouse advocate for midlife women, leveraging 17+ years as a practitioner, author, and speaker to spark a massive movement for women in perimenopause and beyond. With her top-rated Energized with Dr. Mariza podcast (13 million downloads) and a passionate social media audience of over 400K and 8 million monthly views, she's a trusted guide—offering science-backed solutions for perimenopause, and metabolic health.

Her upcoming book, The Perimenopause Revolution (October 2025), is the ultimate resource for women ready to take charge of their health and embrace perimenopause with resilience and confidence.

Are your food cravings stronger in perimenopause or menopause? You're not imagining it! Hormones like GLP-1 play a big role in appetite, metabolism, and even mood.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Calocurb, to talk about how a natural GLP-1 activator made from a completely natural extract helps reset satiety hormones, reduce cravings, and support healthy weight management…without drugs or injections.

We cover:

• What GLP-1 is and how it changes during perimenopause

• Why Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere, and what's happening in New Zealand

• How a completely natural extract, activates GLP-1 naturally

• The difference between synthetic drugs and natural GLP-1 activators

Sarah Kennedy is the Founder and CEO of Calocurb Ltd, the company behind a revolutionary natural GLP-1 activator that helps manage appetite and cravings. Calocurb was born from over 15 years and $30 million of New Zealand Government–backed science and is now sold in five international markets.

Earlier, she led Healtheries/Vitaco NZ Ltd, tripling company revenue and steering the merger that created Australasia's third-largest health and wellbeing brand.

Is perimenopause really starting earlier than we thought? What's the truth about HRT and breast cancer risk? And does childhood trauma show up harder in menopause?

In this special roundtable, I sit down with my menopause besties Karen Martel and Dr. Fiona Lovely to untangle some of the most confusing, and often controversial, topics in women's health today. Between the three of us, we've spent decades studying hormones, coaching women, and cutting through the myths that keep so many of us suffering in silence.

We cover:

• Why perimenopause symptoms often start in the brain years before your periods change

• The real benefits of hormone replacement therapy (and why the risks have been overstated)

• How to optimize your HRT dosage and delivery for maximum results

• Groundbreaking research linking trauma and hormone receptor sensitivity

• Biohacking tools and supplements that may help smooth the menopause transition

Karen Martel has a brilliant podcast called The Hormone Solution. She is a Certified Hormone Specialist and Transformational Nutrition Coach and has been working with women in this space with her online community and one to one for a decade now. She specializes in weight loss resistance.

Fiona has one of the longest running menopause podcasts with over a million downloads now called Not Your Mother's Menopause. She is a women's health expert with specialties in functional medicine, neurology and restorative endocrinology and takes a holistic approach to healing, focusing on finding the root cause of a woman's issues, reaching all aspects of health and making space for wellness.
