  • Balance Your Immune System with Dr. Heather Moday

    We hear a great deal about the importance of boosting our immune systems.  Dr. Heather Moday would argue that is more important to balance them.

    Dr. Moday is a Board Certified Immunologist, Allergist and Functional Medicine Physician with over 25 years of experience.  She is also author of The Immunotype Breakthrough, Your Personalized Plan to Balance Your Immune System, Optimize Health and Build Lifelong Resilience.

     
    Dr. Moday divides immunotypes into 4 categories: smoldering, weak, hyperactive and misguided.  She shares that immune health is not a one size fits all and explains how to balance our immune system and build resistance as we age.  From lifestyle to nutrition, she shares the secrets to a healthy immune system for a lifetime.

  • Stand in Your Power with Jen Marples

    Why are many midlife women afraid to stand in their own power?  Do they think it is selfish?  Intimidating? Overwhelming?

    We invited Jen Marples on the show this week to talk about personal power and the need for more women to support on another.  Jen is an entrepreneur, business leader, motivational speaker, and podcaster.  She is also a believer that we are never too old and it is never too late to stand in your own power.

    Learn the ways we can feel empowered and how we can help other midlife women to do the same.  Community becomes more important as we age and we are truly stronger together.

  • Menopause MythBusters with Dr. Heather Hirsch

    This week we are replaying our interview with Dr. Heather Hirsch (July 31, 2020).  Dr. Hirsch is an internal medicine physician, specializing in women's health and menopause care.  She runs the Midlife and Menopause Clinic at Brigham at Women's Center and she is also an instructor at Harvard Medical School.

    Since opening the clinic in Boston, Dr. Hirsch has spent a great deal of time correcting the myths of menopause.  Women are told:

    - you are too young

    - you need too few or too many tests

    - HRTs are dangerous

    - it is too early or late to start on hormone replacement

    and many more.

    On this week's episode, we discuss the clinic, the correct information we should be receiving and Dr. Hirsch's plans for the next generation of doctors.

  • How Epigenetics Can Help Balance Our Hormones

    Hormonal imbalances can cause weight gain, migraines, insomnia, acne, loss of libido and much more.  On this week's episode, we speak to the authors of Our Hormones Our Health: how to understand your hormones and transform your life about cutting edge ways to balance our hormones.

    Dr. Susanne Esche-Belke and Dr. Suzann Kirschner-Brouns share new research in the study of Epigenetics which can help midlife women balance hormones and maintain a healthy lifespan.  Epigenetics studies how your behaviors and the environment can affect the way your genes work.  Are you drinking from plastic water bottles?  What is your stress level?  How much sugar do you eat?  There are many factors at play.

    99.9% of humans share the same DNA.  It is in that small window of difference where the causes of disease may be found.  We discuss how environment and behaviors may switch a gene on in one person but not another.

    Society bombards us with "positive vibes only" type thinking. "This too shall pass."  "It could be worse." These platitudes can be isolating and make emotional situations such as illness, loss and breakups even worse. 

    Whitney shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions.
