What She’s Having | Midlife Women, Wellness & Reinvention

In this episode of What She's Having, Jennifer and Britney sit down with Sheri Levy, a functional medicine genetic nutrition specialist and creator of SexyStrongLife®, to talk about what it actually means to "eat for your biology."

Sherry breaks down the "why" behind symptoms—and how personalized lab testing can reveal your authentic diet, gut and microbiome balance, nutrient gaps, and hidden triggers like inflammation, food sensitivities, chemicals, and mold. The conversation goes deep (and stays practical): MTHFR gene "snips," methylated B vitamins, parasites vs. internet trends, smarter sushi habits (yes, the wasabi + ginger thing), detox that actually supports your body daily, and why hydration only works if you're adding minerals.

They also get into big questions your group chat is already asking: alcohol, GLP-1s and the importance of an exit strategy, and what "better food" really means in a processed world. Plus, Sheri shares her personal story of healing after a breast cancer diagnosis and how it reshaped her approach to nutrition, testing, and long-term health.

Dating apps made meeting people easier — but meaningful connection harder. In this episode, we're joined by April Beyer, Founder & CEO of LEVEL Connections, and one of the most respected matchmakers in the country. With 25+ years in the industry, April shares what actually works when it comes to finding real love — especially for smart, successful, busy people who don't have 20–30 hours a week to "DIY" their dating life.

We get into how LEVEL blends human expertise with tech (without replacing the matchmaker), why "ready to date" is often a myth, and how to stop interpreting silence as rejection. April breaks down what makes someone truly relationship-ready, the biggest red flags she watches for in clients, and why mystery is not a strategy for people who want something real.

Plus: her best advice for younger daters stuck in the "two weeks of texting" epidemic — and how women can set standards with grace (and still keep it feminine).

• 05:16 – 06:52 How women enter the network + why long profiles don't work

• 06:52 – 08:23 Building the matching system: patterns, data, and intuition

• 08:23 – 10:09 Apps vs matchmakers: why DIY dating burns you out

• 10:09 – 12:35 "Ready to date" vs "ready to relate" (and why you should join early)

• 12:35 – 15:50 Rejection fears: what it actually means if you don't get called

• 15:50 – 18:42 Why you should say yes to dates + "one photo isn't a decision"

• 18:42 – 20:41 Clients can block great matches + why openness matters

• 20:41 – 25:22 April's client red flags: anger, grief, unrealistic age ranges, and "brand"

• 25:22 – 27:17 Success rate explained: relationship success, timing, and "the universe"

• 27:17 – 32:36 What successful matches have in common: availability + neutrality

• 32:36 – 35:27 Advice for dating in your 20s/30s: create community, don't follow the crowd

• 37:55 – 39:28 Trust your body: when it's not in flow, it's not aligned

• Under vs. over the muscle + what's trending now

• Facelifts in your 40s and 50s: how techniques evolved + how long results can last

• The med-spa side: Botox/filler/laser maintenance + the growing longevity conversation (GLP-1s, peptides, hormone optimization)

In this powerful (and refreshingly honest) episode of What She's Having, Jennifer and Britney sit down with Dr. Zafaranchi, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 21 years of experience and a passion for helping women feel informed, confident, and in control of their health.

From perimenopause and hormone imbalance to sleep issues, low libido, anxiety, weight changes, and vaginal health, Dr. Saffari breaks down what really happens to women's bodies after 40 — and why so many symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood.

In this deeply informative and empowering episode of What She's Having, we sit down with Rebecca Maas, clinical nutritionist, naturopathic herbalist, and functional medicine practitioner, to unpack what our bodies are really asking for — and why so many women feel dismissed, exhausted, inflamed, or stuck despite "doing all the right things."

• What parents need to know about kids' breakfasts, blood sugar, and ADHD

• How GLP-1 medications actually work — and why protocol matters
