  • Episode 64: Awakening in Midlife: The Energetics of Perimenopause with Dr. Lorne Brown

    Dr. Lorne Brown joins the TMI Talk podcast to offer a different framework for looking at menopause: one rooted in 26 years of clinical practice and thousands of years of Chinese medicine wisdom. Together, we unpack why your symptoms aren't a sign that your body is failing: they're a sign that your body is changing its priorities. Dr. Lorne is a CPA turned Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Why menopause isn’t just a hormone deficiency, but a whole-body transition that Chinese medicine calls the Second Spring.
    • How fluctuating estrogen and declining progesterone trigger symptoms and why resilience, stress load, and emotional patterns affect this
    • How menopause can lead to a spiritual awakening 
    • The energetic shift of midlife: why the body redirects resources from reproduction to the heart center, purpose, and leadership.
    • The truth about hormone therapy: who it helps, who it doesn’t, and why estrogen isn’t the universal solution
    • How stress, trauma, people-pleasing, and old subconscious programs can amplify perimenopause shift symptoms
    • The role of the nervous system in hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, and inflammation—and practical tools to calm it.
    • How emotions become “stored energy” in the body and how techniques like acupuncture, somatic awareness, and conscious work help release them.
    • A holistic toolbox for relief: acupuncture, herbs, low-level laser therapy, strength training, sleep support, diet, and mind-body practices.

  • Episode 63: A Whole-Body Approach to Perimenopause with Dr. Julie Sarton and Dr. Alexa Charbonneau

    Dr. Mary interviews pelvic floor physical therapists Dr. Julie Sarton and Dr. Alexa Charbonneau from Sarton Pelvic Healing about common perimenopause/menopause issues they treat, including urinary leakage (stress and urge), dyspareunia (pain with sex), nocturia (peeing at night), constipation, and broader musculoskeletal problems like SI joint pain and frozen shoulder. We discuss how symptoms can reappear or become “unmasked” in midlife and emphasize that while hormones matter, one-size-fits-all HRT messaging misses crucial factors such as nervous system regulation, lymphatic and gut function, fascia changes (including estrogen receptors in fascia), old injuries, breathing mechanics, and visceral/organ mobility. The conversation highlights nuanced decision-making for cancer survivors and people with conditions like endometriosis, genetic detox differences, and mast cell activation (MCAS), stressing quality of life and individualized, team-based care.

    What you will learn in this episode: 

    • Perimenopause can start as early as 35 and last a decade
    • Many symptoms they've normalized (leakage, joint pain, painful sex, brain fog, peeing at night) are treatable, not inevitable
    • HRT is not one-size-fits-all — especially for those with endometriosis, cancer history, or genetic variants like MTHFR or APOE4
    • How the pelvic floor is connected to the feet, jaw, neck, diaphragm, tailbone, and even cranial bones
    • How there are estrogen receptors exist in fascia which may be why old injuries resurface in perimenopause
    • Constipation can recirculate estrogen, making hormonal symptoms worse
    • The lymphatic system is deeply underaddressed and may have real implications for breast health
    • Nervous system regulation is foundational for lasting healing

  • Episode 62: It’s Not Willpower: The Real Reasons We Struggle With Food with Gina Worful, RD

    In this conversation, we unpack the hidden layers of our relationship with food—how it’s shaped by culture, childhood, trauma, biology, and the nervous system. 

    Gina Worful, Founder of the Mastering Mindfulness Institute, is a registered dietitian who watched countless people struggle inside the conventional health model—white-knuckling their way through diets, blaming themselves when their body disagreed, and feeling more confused than empowered. She took a different approach: one that helps people reclaim their power with food, rebuild trust in their body, and understand the deeper patterns that I have seen often surface during perimenopause.

    What you will learn 

    • Why diets and willpower often fail and how shame keeps people stuck in cycles of control and “falling off the wagon.”
    • The difference between blood sugar crashes and nervous system dysregulation, and how each uniquely drives cravings.
    • How childhood experiences (like food scarcity, “clean your plate” rules, or cultural beauty ideals) can deeply shape eating patterns.
    • The powerful role of self-trust, pleasure, and embodiment in healing our relationship with food.
    • Practical tools for tuning into the body—like breath, awareness, and mindful eating practices—that bring regulation and freedom back to the table.
    • Why dropping into the body isn’t always comfortable (especially with trauma) and how to gauge your capacity so you don’t overwhelm your system.
    • Real-life stories, from mindful indulgence to scar tissue release, that show how body awareness can be both healing and empowering.

  • Episode 61: From Scarcity to Abundance: Money, Grief, and Growth with Mary Dee

    What begins as a conversation about money mindset turns into a powerful reflection on how we show up for ourselves and others, especially in a time where the world can feel heavy, chaotic, or even hopeless. We explore how our struggles with money often mirror other parts of our lives—like boundaries, control, jealousy, and grief—and how those "annoying people" or triggering moments are often mirrors revealing where we still have work to do.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded, generous, and connected when everything feels overwhelming—or how to move from scarcity into alignment—this episode is for you.

    Mary Dee joins us. She is a dog Mom, chocoholic, best selling author of Asian Women Who Boss Up, host of the Mad Love Your Life Show, and a trusted business advisor and Conscious Closure Coach who helps businesses and individuals transitioning through break ups, and major life event transitions like divorce, break ups and layoffs.


    💡 What You’ll Learn:

    • How money is an energetic relationship—and not just a number in your bank account
    • Why scarcity mindset keeps you stuck (and how to shift it without toxic positivity)
    • How to define wealth on your own terms so you’re not chasing someone else’s version of success
    • The surprising connection between nervous system regulation, trauma, and money flow
    • Why grief, jealousy, and even annoying coworkers can be mirrors for growth
    • How to show up as a healing force in your community—even when the world feels chaotic
    • Real talk on entrepreneurship, hustle culture, and what it really means to live in alignment
    • The power of gratitude, connection, and presence as tools for financial and emotional healing

    In this raw and deeply personal episode, Dr. Mary sits down with fellow physical therapist and breast cancer survivor Dr. Laura Currens to talk about what really happens after cancer — especially when you're young.

    Together, they unpack the overlooked realities of survivorship: the sudden dive into early perimenopause, unexpected relationship changes (from divorce to deeper connection), and the mental, physical, and emotional whiplash of being told you’re “done” with treatment… when your healing has only just begun.

    • How to support a loved one going through cancer (and what not to say)
    • What early perimenopause can look like after chemo — and why most doctors miss it
    • The impact of cancer on identity, sexuality, and relationships
    • How grief shows up after survival
    • Why pelvic and orthopedic physical therapy can play a huge role in post-cancer recovery and perimenopause
    • Alternatives and complements to hormone therapy
    • How to rebuild a meaningful life when you no longer recognize yourself

  • Ep 57: Perimenopause Beyond Hormones: Blood Sugar, Fascia & Nervous System Truths

    In this episode, Dr. Mary shares her perimenopause story — from going through chemotherapy at 33, to years of painful periods and confusing symptoms, to finally realizing she had been in perimenopause all along. That turning point reshaped not only how she cares for herself and her clients, but also the direction of this podcast.

    Dr. Mary is shifting the focus of TMI Talk toward perimenopause and midlife health, because this transition is about so much more than hormones. As an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist, she brings a perspective that expands beyond prescriptions and protocols to include fascia, lymphatic flow, visceral mobility, movement, and nervous system regulation.

    In this episode, listeners will learn:

    • How chemo and endometriosis can set the stage for early perimenopause.
    • Why estrogen, insulin resistance, and midlife weight gain are often connected.
    • How fascia and lymph play a role in symptoms like brain fog, swelling, and fatigue.
    • Why chronic stress can mimic or magnify hormone changes.
    • What rehab professionals can do to support women in perimenopause beyond “just HRT.”
    • Why understanding seasons of energy — balancing hustle with rest — is vital for long-term health.
    • How Dr. Mary’s upcoming research on fascia and lymph aims to shed light on overlooked aspects of perimenopause.

    This episode marks a new season for TMI Talk — one that breaks myths, shares real tools, and reframes perimenopause as a time to reclaim strength, clarity, and connection to the body.

  • Episode 55: Our Body Talks: How to Listen using NLP with Jeremiah Rangel

    I’m joined by Jeremiah Rangel for this episode. We break down how emotional patterns, trauma, and survival strategies get stored in the body, and how most people are unconsciously running their life from old programming they don’t even know they have.

    About Jeremiah:

    Jeremiah Rangel is a Master Life & Business Coach. For over 26 years he has successfully helped over 7000+ clients focused on connecting them to their internal guidance, Divine Connection and a deeper understanding of how their mind psychologically impacts health, wellness, and success in life. His specific skill set comes from an extensive background traveling the world to gather tools, techniques and strategies that profoundly help to heal chronic illness in a holistic way. When a person has tried everything to heal, but nothing has worked for them; that is when they find Jeremiah to do the deep inner spiritual & psychological work that rescues the younger parts that are demanding attention through physical ailments and are stuck in the past.

    I’m joined by Jeremiah Rangel — master NLP practitioner, subconscious rewiring expert, and someone who deeply understands how the nervous system and belief systems shape our lived reality. We break down how emotional patterns, trauma, and survival strategies get stored in the body — and how most people are unconsciously running their life from old programming they don’t even know they have.

    This episode bridges the nervous system with NLP, embodiment, subconscious work, and somatic healing in a way that’s grounded, real, and applicable.

    What you will learn

    • How the body stores emotional and subconscious patterns
    • Why your nervous system might be driving your behavior (even when your brain disagrees)
    • What NLP is and how it helps rewire limiting beliefs
    • Why some people stay stuck in survival mode no matter how much they “try”
    • How to spot when you're living from an old subconscious program
    • Why regulation and safety are the foundation of real change
    • How to create alignment between your body, mind, and future self
    • Practical ways to start listening to what your body has been trying to tell you
