The Simplicity Sessions

In this episode, I am so excited to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Andrea Donsky. She is known as the menopause educator and researcher to her 335,000 TikTok followers, which now is probably closer to 400,000 by now. Andrea is a nutritionist and we have known each other for over two decades now. She is on a mission to change the conversation around perimenopause and menopause. She's an entrepreneur with 24 years of experience in the health and wellness industry. She is a multi-award winning influencer, media personnel, speaker and author. She is also a mama and she is the host of Menopause Reimagine. She appears as a menopause expert on television all across North America and Andrea has appeared in nearly 500 tv segments and been featured on every major network across the US and Canada.

So, you know, lots of free time in Andrea's life right now, as you can hear what she does and her latest venture.

This episode is for those of you that are practitioners, and I'm really going to be talking to you today through the lens as a practitioner that is running a business, that is building out a business.

Whether you are in an actual true clinical setting or if you are running something that is online.

I think these are the most important five pillars right now. I'm emphasizing in this time right now because I have been in this industry for almost 30 years now and there's always a period of time where we feel this shift that happens, where the energy, the topics, the things that we need to bring into our practice, the tools we need to access the type of education and the resources we need as coaches and as practitioners to then bring into our practice for our clients, for our customers, for our patients.

Maria and Kristin join me on today's podcast. Maria and Kristin are the founders of Wise and well, and are incredible trailblazers and educators in the community of women's health and hormones. Their voices are only going to be heard more widespread as their book comes out and their education continues to move around the world. I love that both of these women have a very direct no B's approach to educating. Maria, an FDN practitioner, and Kristin, a Board-certified nutritionist, are plainspoken friends and practitioners who share a passion for women's health, especially women's health at midlife. As both are themselves menopausal, they've refined the art and science of thriving as a midlife woman based on both clinical and personal experience. They combine individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes tailored to midlife women's needs with mindset coaching, lab testing and hormone replacement therapy education to help women thrive so that they can stop or prevent their health from spinning out of control.

My guest today is a prolific educator, who has boots on the ground doing the work and has been for her entire career. She is a woman that is on your side in terms of helping to educate you so you can feel more empowered and ready to not only go into your sessions with your PCP, but also be able to advocate for yourself when something starts to feel like it is no longer what it used to be. She helps you understand what that next step or that next option could be. She is the amazing Dr. Cathleen Brown.

In this episode, I am sharing exciting announcements and a lot of changes that have been going on behind the scenes. I am here to be part of a revolution that has to happen in women's health. One where we are participants in our bodies instead of always being bystanders.

That's why I've created what I have here. So change doesn't have to feel overwhelming, scary or awful. When you know what to expect and you understand how to manage changes happening, you're going to be relieved and happy to realize that your body can get better over time.

Your body can get stronger over time.

Your body can get fitter.

Your body can get leaner.

You can get more vital and more vibrant over time.

And I promise you that that's possible. I see it happen in my own body.

I see it happen in all of the women that we work with.

You can tell the difference of someone who is surviving and getting through their day or their life and someone who is thriving.

This is what I am bringing to life in my brand new course, which is called The Perimenopause project.

In this episode, Megan and I dive into holistic solutions for PCOS + Endometriosis. My mom had a radical hysterectomy due to her endometriosis and at the time, there was not a lot of education and support. This is why we decided on this topic for this masterclass, because we receive messages daily, whether on Instagram or Facebook, in response to the podcast, or in emails, from women who are struggling.

Endometriosis affects about one in ten women. It takes about eight to ten years to be properly diagnosed. Often the only solutions we're given are to go on the birth control pill, to use an IUD, or some form of pain management or suppression.

I am joined by Nikki Piotrowski today, who I met in the fall of 2023 at an event that was filled with incredible entrepreneurs and wellness-preneurs and just humans that were on this different path and trajectory in life that came together.

And I'm so happy that we connected and we've been building a friendship and a workshop together this year.

And I said to her, I really want to have you on the show.

So many women show up here in my community and share hardships over life, motherhood, entrepreneurship, in their body and life and all of these things.

And I really do know that a big part of the healing that happens is when we hear others share their story.

And so that is why I asked Nikki to be here today - she has a powerful story that I think will resonate with many.

Today we're diving into something that has been part of some of our previous episodes, but I have yet to do an entirely dedicated interview that is all about our breast health, and especially when we're talking about things like breast cancer and warning signs and, you know, testing and imaging and what to do when or if you have a diagnosis in your life and so much more.

And so I am thrilled to introduce you to doctor Jen Simmons, who's an integrative oncologist.

She is a three time author. She has her new book that is out now that we'll be chatting about today.

She is the founder of Perfection Imaging, and she started her professional career as Philadelphia's first fellowship trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon.

Her own illness herself led her to discover functional medicine and so enamored with the concept of creating health rather than fully focusing on killing disease.

She left traditional medicine in 2019 and founded Real Health MD, which is here to help women along their breast cancer journey to truly heal.

Let's dive in!

This week's episode is celebrating something pretty amazing, which is the 400th episode of this podcast. The show is going to be turning six this year!

When I first started this show, my commitment was to create a learning space for women who were eager to expand and to achieve deeper knowledge in their bodies, in their minds, their emotions, while also expanding their businesses, and growing their finances.

I really wanted to bring together this energy that I have now called The Audacious Woman, where we don't have to live in perpetual sacrifice and always trading time for energy and time for money and time for resources.

We actually do get to choose and that it gets to be fun and it gets to be exciting, and there gets to be a lot of curiosity and dabbling and experimenting along the way, and that is part of the journey.

And so one of the quotes that I have had for many years, and it was in the first show notes on September 29 of 2018, was that our personal wellness journey is one to be enjoyed and not forced, and that we are all craving a deeper level of connection.

And I still believe this wholeheartedly to this day.

This podcast has actually been a beautiful landing place for me in terms of connection with so many of you in the community.

And so when I had posted, what should I talk about in this 400th episode? A big one that came up was my greatest and biggest lessons and integrating all the elements of health and life and motherhood and business and relationships.

So that's what we're diving into today! Grab your head phones and let's do this.
