What actually happens after menopause… and why is no one talking about it?

In this episode of Healthy Kitty Club, we’re sitting down with two powerhouse experts—Dr. Lisa Dickinson & Dr. Meghan Bennett of Amber Wellness Group—to break down everything you need to know about post-menopause (aka the phase you’re in for the REST of your life 👀).

We’re going way beyond hot flashes and getting into the real, unfiltered conversation around:

✨ Hormone changes after menopause (and why you might still feel “off”)

✨ Vaginal health, dryness & painful sex—what’s normal vs fixable

✨ Libido shifts + how to get your spark back

✨ Brain fog, mood, anxiety & energy levels

✨ Metabolism, weight gain & body changes

✨ Long-term health risks (bone density, heart health & more)

✨ Hormone therapy, natural options & what actually works

✨ How to not just survive—but THRIVE—in your post-menopausal era

This is the conversation every woman deserves to hear—whether you’re approaching menopause, in it, or already through it.

Because this isn’t the end… it’s a whole new chapter—and we’re here to help you OWN it 💥

Premenopause doesn’t start in your 40s.

It starts the day you get your first period.

In this episode, Danielle sits down with naturopathic doctors Dr. Lisa Dickinson and Dr. Meghan Bennett from Amber Wellness Group to break down what premenopause really is — and why most women completely misunderstand it.

We cover:

• What premenopause actually means

• The difference between premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause

• How hormones shift over decades

• Cycle literacy and long-term health

• Mood, metabolism, and inflammation

• Natural tools to support your body through every phase

This is the women’s health class we should have gotten years ago.

Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, understanding premenopause changes how you see your body — and how you care for it.

Welcome to the Kitty Club.🐾🔥

Yes — men have pelvic floors too.

In this episode, Danielle sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Lindsay Dirringer of Bottoms Up! Physical Therapy to explore why the men in our lives may need pelvic floor therapy — and how we can support them.

We discuss:

• What the male pelvic floor actually does

• Urinary leakage in men

• Erectile dysfunction and pelvic health

• Post-prostate surgery recovery

• Core stability and performance

• Chronic pelvic pain in men

• Why so many men avoid treatment

• How partners can support the conversation

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum women.

It’s for humans.

If you have a partner, brother, father, or son — this episode matters.

Welcome to the Kitty Club.

In this episode, Danielle shares her very first experience riding the Emsella Chair — also known as the “throne of tingles” — at Natural Family Health Clinic in Beaverton, Oregon with Dr. Keliiheleua, ND.

This vlog-style episode was recorded before her hysterectomy, and now — post-surgery — the importance of pelvic floor recovery hits even harder.

We break down:

• How one 28-minute Emsella session equals approximately 11,000 Kegels

• How high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology builds pelvic floor strength

• Why you don’t have to undress

• How it improves bladder control

• Core stability benefits

• Sexual wellness support

• Why men benefit too

This is non-invasive pelvic floor strengthening without traditional exercise — and yes, it feels wild the first time.

Pelvic floor recovery is not optional after childbirth, hormone shifts, or hysterectomy. It’s foundational.

Welcome to the Kitty Club.

Welcome back to Healthy Kitty Club.

In this episode, Danielle sits down again with pelvic health experts Dr. Lisa Dickinson and Dr. Meghan Bennett to take a deep dive into perimenopause — the hormonal phase no one properly prepares women for.

If you’ve been feeling “off,” anxious, ragey, exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or just not like yourself — this conversation connects the dots.

We discuss:

• What perimenopause actually is

• When it typically starts

• Hormone fluctuations and nervous system changes

• Anxiety and mood shifts

• Sleep disruption

• Brain fog and fatigue

• Weight redistribution

• Pelvic floor changes during perimenopause

• When to seek support

• Therapy, lifestyle shifts, and practical solutions

Perimenopause is not a personality flaw.

It’s a biological transition.

And women deserve education about it.

Welcome back to Healthy Kitty Club — and this one is fun.

In this episode, Danielle sits down with licensed esthetician Erica Williams for a real, honest conversation about skincare rituals, waxing, body confidence, and the connection between self-care and self-worth.

This isn’t just about glowing skin — it’s about reclaiming your body.

We talk about:

• Building a skincare routine that actually works

• Over-exfoliating (yes, you’re probably doing it)

• Acne in your 30s and 40s

• Hormonal skin changes

• Brazilian waxing myths

• Ingrown hairs and irritation

• Confidence after waxing

• Why skincare is more than vanity

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, postpartum body changes, hormonal acne, or just trying to feel better in your own skin — this episode connects beauty with empowerment.

Because self-care isn’t shallow.

It’s strategy.

Welcome to the Kitty Club.

Welcome back to Healthy Kitty Club.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that too many women whisper about — or never talk about at all:

The connection between your pelvic floor and your sexual health.

I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Lindsay Dirringer of Bottoms Up! Physical Therapy to unpack what’s really happening in the body when sex is painful, numb, disconnected, or just not what it used to be.

We discuss:

• How pelvic floor dysfunction impacts sexual pleasure

• Pain with intercourse — and why it’s NOT normal

• Tight vs. weak pelvic floor muscles

• The mind-body connection in sexual health

• How pelvic floor therapy can restore confidence and sensation

• Why so many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed

If you’ve experienced:

• Painful sex

• Low libido

• Difficulty reaching orgasm

• Pelvic tension

• Postpartum changes

• Perimenopause shifts

• Recovery after hysterectomy

This episode is going to connect dots.

Sexual health is pelvic health.

And pelvic health is whole-body health.
