    626. Mindblowing Facts about Menopause and How to Fix Your Symptoms
    May 1 2026
    Is what you’re feeling is “just aging” or something deeper? If you’ve ever wondered that, this episode is going to completely reframe the way you see your body. In this conversation, I sit down with Andrea Donsky to unpack the real story behind perimenopause and menopause, and why so many women feel blindsided by symptoms they were never warned about. We dive into the surprising reality that there are over 100 possible symptoms, many of them mental and cognitive, and why fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep disruption often show up long before hot flashes ever do. I also explore the frustrating gap in care where women are dismissed or told everything is normal, and what that means for how we advocate for ourselves. We go deeper into what is actually driving these symptoms, from blood sugar dysregulation and stress to nervous system overload and shifting hormones, and how all of it is more connected than you think. Andrea shares practical insights from her research and her book, including how nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and even the way you think about your experience can dramatically impact how you move through this phase. What you’ll learn: Why the most common menopause symptoms are not the ones you’ve been told to expect The surprising reason so many women wake up between 2 and 4 a.m. What your anxiety, brain fog, and exhaustion might actually be trying to tell you The hidden connection between blood sugar, stress, and hormone symptoms You do not have to keep guessing, and you definitely do not have to keep suffering in silence. There is a different way to move through this, and it starts with understanding.

    625. The Menopause Gut: Why Hormones, Weight, and Digestion Change After 40 with Cynthia Thurlow
    Apr 28 2026
    Everything you thought you knew about menopause may be missing the gut connection. In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Cynthia Thurlow to explore the powerful link between the gut microbiome, hormones, and how women experience perimenopause and menopause. We unpack why symptoms like bloating, brain fog, anxiety, weight resistance, estrogen dominance, and even poor response to hormone therapy may have far more to do with gut health than most women realize. What you’ll learn: Why your gut may be influencing your hormones more than you realize The hidden reason some women do not feel better on hormone therapy What the estrobolome is and why it could change how you think about estrogen How gut health may affect brain fog, anxiety, and mood in midlife The surprising connection between trauma, cortisol, and ovarian aging Why autoimmune issues and inflammation may rise during perimenopause Foundational shifts that may matter more than the latest biohacking trends The overlooked systems that may be driving symptoms no one has connected for you before If you have been struggling with symptoms that feel disconnected or dismissed, this conversation may help you finally start connecting the dots. Tune in and discover why the gut may be one of the most important places to begin.

    624. How to Fix Your Menopause in 7 Steps
    Apr 24 2026
    Is everything you’ve been told about menopause completely wrong? In this episode, I’m breaking down why menopause is not something you’re meant to just “survive,” but a powerful hormonal transition that requires a totally different strategy than what most women are given. I dive into the real root causes behind symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, and low libido, and why they’re not actually menopause itself, but signals your body is out of balance. I also challenge the outdated medical advice so many women receive and explain what’s really happening beneath the surface. I walk you through a clear, actionable 7-step framework to help you start feeling like yourself again, covering everything from hormone balance and thyroid health to metabolism, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle shifts that actually move the needle. Along the way, I answer the questions so many women are quietly asking but not getting real answers to, and I share a more empowering, science-backed approach that puts you back in control of your body and your health. What you’ll learn: Why your menopause symptoms might not be what you think they are The hidden systems in your body that are quietly driving how you feel What most doctors are overlooking when they say “everything is fine” The surprising connection between your thyroid, metabolism, and hormones A different way to think about weight gain during this phase of life The one shift that can change how your body responds to everything What your symptoms are actually trying to tell you The first step that unlocks everything else Tune in, take notes, and start seeing your symptoms through a completely new lens.
