Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. 

This week we had a fantastic chat with Tamsen Fadal, the award-winning journalist behind The M Factor documentary.   Tamsen is an Author, Advocate and Co-Producer of The M Factor documentary.  We talked about the process to getting the film made and the surprising initial reactions, as well as the amazing community response it's had, with women everywhere wanting to connect and share their experiences.   Tamson has also written a new book called How to Menopause, which comes out today!  She wanted to create a comprehensive guide, with guest experts covering all aspects of menopause beyond just the medical stuff, including things like lifestyle, work, and relationships.    She recently hosted a free virtual event called the "World's Hottest Menopause Party" where women around the world joined in the fun.   This was a fun and  inspiring conversation, so please check out The M Factor documentary available on PBS and order your copy of How to Menopause right here.

You can find Tamsen Fadal on Instagram and Tiktok.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Today I welcome functional nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to the show.  It was delightful to meet her face to face as she was one of my fav early podcasters!  We discussed many contemporary concerns with healthcare and our solutions.     We talked about anemia in women as a frequently overlooked concern, with dehydration being a significant interconnected factor (did you know?  I didn't!)  Personalised medicine, based on the mantra "everything is connected, we are all unique, and all things matter" vs. protocol-driven approaches was explored in this chat. We discussed the importance of understanding bioindividuality through the epigenome and individual life history.     The conversation reframed longevity as living well and with purpose, advocating for engagement with individual needs.  It seems that as we no longer need to discuss the symptoms of menopause, we move on to wanting to live our lives better, happier and healthier.  Longevity is that flex! 

You can find Andrea Nakayama on her website here.  You can also find Andrea on IG.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Today, we talk about upgrading women's health and how we can offer women better options earlier and how you can advocate for the best care for yourself when you visit with your doctor.  

Specifically, we talk about progesterone and how it can help with a multitude of early symptoms of perimenopause.  Dr. Lovely envisions a better world where women are offered progesterone by their doctor as a matter of course, rather than years of symptoms that go unaided.  

Please listen, learn and share.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Today, we welcome Dr Sarah Vadeboncoeur, naturopathic doctor and host of the Fatigue Fixer Podcast.  We dive into a conversation on why women, even when getting enough sleep, are constantly tired.  Dr. Vadeboncoeur shares some simple ways to boost your energy, including recognising that a lot of our exhaustion comes from our overwhelming mental load – all those tabs open in our mind.  Can anyone else relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️   The conversation gets real as we explore topics like menopausal anger, where it comes from, and how to deal with it.  We  also discuss a major and very common issue for women: iron deficiency anaemia.  Dr. Vadeboncoeur points out that many women aren't getting the support they need from their doctors on this, and she shares some great info, including details about a course she offers to help.   Find her Iron Deficiency Anemia course here.    Ultimately, Dr. Vadeboncoeur wants women to feel empowered to fix their fatigue, embrace their changing bodies, and navigate perimenopause with confidence. She encourages women to speak up and goes on to provide lots of helpful resources on her website and Instagram. If you're tired of being tired, this episode is a must-listen!

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Uterine fibroids are a very common concern for women who are still menstruating.  They are the cause of extreme and chronic pain, heavy bleeding and there aren't great treatment options available.  Today I welcome Dr Suzanne LeBlang to the show to discuss a novel therapy for treatment of fibroids - focused ultrasound.  

I had never heard about this treatment until Dr. LeBlang shared her knowledge.  This conversation highlights how the non-invasive technique can treat uterine fibroids using thermal ablation, without the need for incisions or injections.  This is also available for many other health concerns such as thyroid nodules,  Parkinson's disease, breast tumours, tremors and others.  It has been FDA approved since 2004. 

Overall, this episode underscores the importance of non-invasive treatment options for women's health concerns, with focused ultrasound emerging as a promising alternative for various conditions.

Dr. LeBlang is the Director of Clinical Relationships at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUS) and was trained as a neuroradiologist.  You can find out more about this treatment option at fusfoundation.org or on Instagram here.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Have you felt like your digestion has changed with your perimenopausal march forward?  Do you experience bloating, heartburn, reflux, diarrhea, constipation or IBS?  Do you wonder if your food is actually being absorbed and used well?  What's the point of consuming all this protein we are being asked to eat if we aren't absorbing it!  Listen in as Certified Sports Nutritionist, Wade Lightheart educates us on the digestive changes we can experience at midlife.  

Wade's story is inspiring - he ran his first marathon at 50 years old after spending decades in the bodybuilding competion industry.  He realized that in order to get the performance he desired, he required a different level of digestion of his food/fuel.   He is an expert on enzymes, gut health and nutrition optimization.   He is on a mission to help people gain and keep health, long term!

Wade realized from his own nutrition practice that women wouldn't always bounce back in their performance after pregnancy and he went about finding out out why.   He shares this discovery and how he helped women manage this in our chat.  Did you know that you require good gut health to have good hormonal health?  We talk about why in this episode.  Enzymes, probiotics, protein optimization and much more. 

Wade has a clear and contagious zest for life and he is freely sharing his protocols for a great life with us!  You can find out more about Wade Lightheart and his work here and on Instagram here.

If you think today's episode is a "diet" episode, think again!  We are talking about food for nourishment aside from the macros and micros of food.  Barb Sheldon is a food literacy instructor, social activist, podcast host and author who has a profound belief in the therapeutic power of food.  This is a conversation about what nourishes us.  

Barb teaches us about "radical hospitality" and the act of sharing our wisdom with others as what can give us purpose at menopause.  Our experience, our wisdom becomes deeply useful for others and what better way to share than around a pot of homemade soup?  

This conversation was eye-opening and deeply nourishing for me, and I hope you find it the same.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

February is Women's Heart Health month and for today's episode, I am joined by the extraordinary Dr. Jayne Morgan,  Cardiologist and VP of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart.  Heart health for women is a hot topic and Dr. Morgan and I speak about the importance of women being aware of their heart heath throughout life but particularily at menopause.  

Listen in and learn how your pregnancy experience can predict future heart concerns.  Dr. Morgan also tells us exactly how to ask our doctor for necessary tests to keep our heart health in mind.

Estrogen affects cardiovascular health and how perimenopause is a time of great change for our heart.  We discuss how a heart attack presents for women (hint:  it's different from the classic presentation that men can experience!) and what symptoms you shouldn't ignore.  These are common symptoms that might make you wonder if you, too, should ask your doctor to check out your heart!

You can find more from Dr Jayne Morgan and see her Stairwell Chronicles on IG here.  Go to helloheart.com for more info on Dr Morgan and her work.

What does it take to optimize health at perimenopause and menopause?  Dr. Scott Sherr is here to help us sort through the details of making the second half of your life, the best half!   Let's prioritize wellness above all else.  

The root cause of health is quite simple:  it's all the things you think it should be - food, movement, sleep, relationships, etc.  And it's paying attention to your metabolic and mitochondrial health.  We might here these words thrown around but do we really know what to do to help ourselves?

Dr Scott Sherr suggests we can set the disease aside and optimize our health measures.  

We talk about methylene blue for our mitochondria (think:  brain fog, low energy, sleep issues, sluggish detox and more) and I am all in on this health-hack (check out Troscriptions link below for where I get my methylene blue), and I bet you will be too!  Scott suggests we act as a bridge between medicine and alternative medicine, opening up the information access for all.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Today’s conversation is with Mary Lee - Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion.  Mary is the host and creator of the Menopause Disruptor podcast.  Mary is a retired veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces having served more than 24 years.  

Mary arrives for our chat today ready to share the phenomenon of PTSD and menopause.  This isn’t just for women veterans, but for all of us.  And yet, the data shows us that women in uniform are particularily susceptible to the experience of PTSD.  Female military personnel are twice as likely to experience early menopause!  And many of the symptoms of PTSD and perimenopause overlap.  What is a girl in uniform to do to get help?

This conversation is for you if you have experienced an abuse of power,  experienced a trauma or if you are wanting to understand if the anxiety, sleeplessness, lack of contentment and other symptoms which are related to PTSD.  

Mary and I speak about her process to becoming a Menopause Doula.  I host this certification to my community on demand and will be opening the course in the Spring.  If you are interested in being notified when my Menopause Doula Certification course opens, please visit here.
