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? A radically transformed life—and a platform that empowers others to do the same.

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.

Have you been hopping from program to program to improve your health, but without results? You’ve got all the information in your head. You know what to do, but you just can’t get organized to do it. Then this episode with life coach Courtney Townley is for you. 

We cover:

• How to become a self-leader to bring change

• Why power, purpose and impact are important for our midlife transition

• lies menopausal women have been sold about what health is

• Small tips that make a big impact in your journey to better health

• What are the basic measures every woman should learn in order to be consistent

She is the hostess of the highly-rated podcast, Grace & Grit, where she encourages women to expand the definition of health far beyond the topics of diet and exercise. 

Courtney is a level 2 certified nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition, a certified strength coach via the National Strength & Conditioning Association and a certified life coach via The Life Coach School. She is triple whammy and you’re going to love her.

Have you heard that seed oils are inflammatory and bad for you? What does science say about this? Does canola oil and linoleic acid really cause inflammation and lead to heart disease? These questions and more are tackled in this episode with one of the top 2% of scientists in the world Dr. Bill Harris who has been researching fatty acids for over 40 years

We cover:

• Why are we so scared of seed oils and are they really damaging our bodies?

• What about the oxidation that comes with processing, pressuring and high heat?

• Do we need to replace seed and vegetable oils with something else?

• Should we be lowering our omega 6s and increasing omega 3s?

• Should we be testing our omega ratio?

• How should we be changing our diets to have better health outcomes?

• Why do we see so much conflicting research?

• Is it better to eat saturated fats like butter and coconut oil?

• What about the oxidation in omega 3 supplements

• Toxins, heavy metals and so much more

Dr. Bill Harris has been a leading researcher in the omega-3 fatty acid field for 40 years. He has over 360 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, the vast majority on omega-3. He has been on the faculty of three medical schools (Universities of Kansas, Missouri (at Kansas City), and South Dakota), and has received 5 NIH grants to study omega-3. He was the co-author on three AHA statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index (and other omega-3 blood tests) and founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on the impact of his research.

I got my Master’s in Gerontology—the scientific study of aging—and while we spent hours learning about Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease, we spent less than one hour on menopause.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the 8 most shocking things I’ve learned after graduation that completely changed how I view women’s health and aging. These are critical facts about menopause that should be taught in every medical and aging curriculum—but aren’t.

We’ll cover:

• Why menopause is treated as a reproductive event—not a whole-body health transition

• How estrogen affects your brain, heart, muscles, and stress response

• What happens to your cognitive and cardiovascular health after menopause

• The 103+ symptoms no one warned you about

• Why most doctors aren’t trained to help you
