The Skin You're In

On this episode, Jen and Kate review some of the products that social media claims will remove lines, sagging, aging and dark spots. Spoiler alert... if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.

The Face of Menopause

When the signs of aging start showing up on your skin, the conversation often stops at the surface — but what if the changes in your face, your energy, and your confidence are all connected to what's happening underneath? In this episode, we're joined by Joyce Allen, NP, and Naomi Henry, medical scientist and founder of Ember , a virtual clinic dedicated to helping women navigate the menopause transition with personalized hormone care.

Joyce and Naomi break down why so many women are blindsided by perimenopause in their 40s (and sometimes earlier), why "this is normal" isn't the same as "you have to live with it," and how bioidentical hormone therapy goes beyond symptom relief to long-term health prevention — protecting bones, heart, and brain. We dig into the latest developments in testosterone therapy for women, the life-changing case for vaginal estrogen, new ferritin guidelines that could explain your fatigue, and why this chapter of life might just be the most magnetic one yet.

Whether you're navigating midlife yourself or helping patients through it, this conversation is the bridge between what you see in the mirror and what's driving it from within.

Jen and Kate chat about CO2 laser and what it's all about!

Jen talks about what it is, the benefits to your skin, questions she gets and how it's different from other treatments. Kate speaks from a client point of view, having had CO2 laser and sharing her before, during and after experience!

The Skin You're In is back! Jen O'Brien — CRNA, founder of Relevé Medical Aesthetics in Southern New Hampshire — returns with a fresh new format. She's bringing on Kate Sullivan as co-host, and together they're diving into all things aging, womanhood, and living confidently in the skin you're in. Real conversation, real laughs, and a whole lot of inspiration for women who refuse to sit on the sidelines.

In this episode, I sit down with Leah, a physical therapist and personal trainer who specializes in helping women build strength and confidence through resistance training. We talk about why so many women over 40 shy away from lifting weights, how to get started safely, and why strength training is one of the most powerful tools for navigating midlife. Leah shares stories from her own clients, common myths she sees women struggle with, and the science-backed benefits of picking up weights at any age.

If you’ve ever wondered whether resistance training is right for you—or if it’s too late to start—this conversation will inspire you to take that first step.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just off in your body—but told yourself “everything looks normal” on paper—this episode is for you. Jen sits down with William Boylan, licensed acupuncturist and founder of the Acupuncture Clinic of Bedford, to talk about how acupuncture can support women through perimenopause, menopause, stress, pain, and the complexities of midlife.

Together, they explore:

• What acupuncture actually does—physiologically and emotionally

• How the patient experience works, from first visit to long-term support

• Why treating stress and nervous system dysregulation is foundational to hormone balance

• What it looks like to support kids and teens with anxiety or digestive issues through acupuncture

• The common fears and misconceptions that keep people from trying it (needles, anyone?)

• Why William believes you don’t need to believe in acupuncture for it to work

This episode is an honest, thoughtful conversation about whole-person care—and what’s possible when you finally feel heard, seen, and supported.

Kegels are not a cure-all!

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with a pelvic floor physical therapist to unpack some of the most common—and often misunderstood—pelvic health challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause. From pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction to urinary incontinence, these issues impact quality of life but are rarely talked about openly.

One of the biggest myths we bust? That kegels are a cure-all. In fact, doing kegels without proper guidance can sometimes make symptoms worse, especially if the pelvic floor muscles are already tight or dysfunctional. Instead, we dive into why pelvic floor health is about balance, proper muscle awareness, and personalized care—not just exercises.

Tune in to learn why pelvic floor therapy might be the missing piece of your wellness routine and how to start healing in a way that truly fits your body and life.
