Today Marie Hoag joins me on the show to discuss controversial topic of hormone therapy. Marie is a clinical hormone coach of 20 years specializing in perimenopause and menopause hormone balancing and menopause prevention.

I was eager to learn more about Hormonal Replacement Therapy (bio-identical vs conventional) from someone who has vast clinical experience and stays up with the latest research, which we know is lagging in the area of women's health, particularly hormonal health. 

Marie deepened the discussion well beyond bio-identical vs conventional, starting with her own struggles beginning at puberty. Those mood changes and painful periods back then were a harbinger of more serious issues to come!

Today I’m talking to Lori Voss-Furukawa about her unique approach to empowering women through TCM, energetic eating, and mindfulness.

I appreciate this ancient approach to health, especially in contrast to the modern day reductionist view of food as simply calories and macronutrients.

Part 2 Interview

Listen into this impromptu conversation (Instagram Live) with last week's guest, Chana Studley (episode 42. Unraveling the Mind-Body Connection: How Trauma Impacts Your Health).

During this conversation we revisit key aspects from our original podcast interview about mindset and safety, now that she is living in a war zone. 

I wanted to dive into the concepts of addressing anxiety and feeling safe, amid air raid sirens and explosions.

"Safety is a state of mind," is a concept Chana not only teaches but also lives by.

Meet Chana Studley! After experiencing 3 violent attacks in the early 80s she went on to win an Academy Award as part of the team for the movie Babe! She has been coaching and counseling people with trauma, addictions and anxiety for over 30 years, and 6 years ago started writing books about the mind-body connection. 

I loved our conversation about the connection between pain, chronic conditions, and state of mind. The body really does keep the score! As Chana says, “we are always feeling our thinking”. Think about that one!
