Episode Summary

Have you heard all the hype around Urolithin A?

In this episode, I sit down with expert integrative and functional nutritionist, Jennifer Scheinman, to dive into one of the most exciting breakthroughs in women’s health and longevity—Urolithin A.

This little-known yet well-researched natural molecule has been shown in studies to significantly improve muscle strength and function, helping combat the age-related muscle decline so many of us experience in midlife.

We’ll unpack how Urolithin A supports mitochondrial health—the very core of our energy production—so you can feel more vibrant and strong at every stage.

Plus, Jennifer shares how topical Urolithin A can even target the internal and external signs of skin aging, giving your skin and cells a rejuvenating boost.

Ready to feel vibrant, strong, and glow from the inside out? Tune in here to feel truly energized from the cellular level up!

QUOTES

“Other things we saw in that study were improvements in things like inflammatory markers, which we know chronic inflammation is a huge issue as we start to get older. We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn’t make statistical significance, they were trending that way.”

“It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you’re having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.”

“Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it’s statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth. So, [it’s] really powerful but gentle.”

Episode Summary

If you’ve ever felt like you’re riding a menstrual cycle roller coaster of cravings, exhaustion, and mood swings– this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by leading researcher and women’s hormone expert Dr. Sarah E. Hill to unpack what’s really going on in your body—and your brain—during your cycle.

Dr. Hill breaks down how shifting levels of progesterone and estrogen in the second half of your cycle can impact everything from your sleep and appetite to your mood and libido.

We also talk about how this becomes even more complex—and important to understand—during perimenopause, when hormone patterns start to change unpredictably.

You’ll learn why traditional health advice often fails women during this phase of life, and what to do instead to actually support your body.

It’s time to rethink your period, reclaim your energy, and finally feel in sync with your hormones!

Dr. Sarah E. Hill is a researcher and professor at TCU, lead science advisor for 28, and the author of The Period Brain and This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. Sarah’s work has resulted in more than 80 research publications, with features in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, The Economist, and on shows like Good Morning and Today. Sarah is a well-known speaker, consultant, and media expert in women’s health, hormones, and sexual psychology.

QUOTES

“The week– or for some women, it’s even the full two weeks– of the luteal phase can be a really challenging time emotionally as their body is struggling to keep up with those wild swings and hormones. But then also as you go into perimenopause, you’re going through a period of intense hormonal change, and unlike what goes on across a regular cycle, it’s unpredictable.”

“Women are twice as likely as men to have mental health-related illnesses. They’re more than twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with anxiety. They’re more likely to experience burnout in the workplace. I mean, the list goes on, and it’s because there’s way too much that’s expected of us. And one thing that women don’t recognize about it is that in addition to this being bad for things like cardiovascular health… it can also prevent you from even producing sex hormones.”

“A big part of The Period Brain is first, just really giving women a roadmap to the second half of their cycle, since it’s not something that’s really talked about.”

Episode Summary

Perimenopause is really like your “second puberty,”– and it sets the course for the rest of your life.

So in this episode, I’m giving you a special sneak peek into my brand-new book, The Perimenopause Revolution!

We’ll dive into what perimenopause really is, why it matters, and how understanding hormonal and metabolic changes can transform the way you navigate this stage of life.

Even though half the world’s population will go through it, perimenopause is still clouded with confusion—so I’m here to clear it all up.

From the wide range of symptoms to the long-term impact on your health, you’ll learn why this transition is not the beginning of the end, but the beginning of a more connected, vital, and powerful you.

Tune in here and get inspired to put your best foot forward in this exciting new chapter of your life!

What’s driving the confusion around perimenopause?
Understanding the system-wide changes during perimenopause
Recognizing feelings and emotions common in perimenopause
How to know when you’re in perimenopause
Common signs and symptoms of perimenopause
How perimenopause can impact all aspects of your life

QUOTES

“Symptoms and changes in the body are a result of fluctuating and declining hormones that have far-reaching effects on many important systems– the brain, heart, metabolism, bones, and muscles, to name a few.”

“My goal with this book is to help women gain a greater understanding of the impact of hormone shifts, as well as changes in metabolism and blood sugar on every aspect of their health. That way, they can target these areas and confidently approach the second half of life feeling strong, resilient, and energized.”

“Perimenopause forces us to confront challenges in a whole new way because what worked before no longer does, and ultimately, I think that’s a good thing because we learn to prioritize what really matters and let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore.”

Episode Summary

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like?

Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life?

This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I’m here to tell you there IS another way.

In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can’t always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap.

Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained.

Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection.

Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you’ve been craving for years!

QUOTES

“This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.”

“That’s the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn’t a problem.’ And that’s that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It’s really vital work.”

“What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence. Intunement and presence.”

Episode Summary

“I can never get a good workout in… I don’t have the time.”

I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again!

In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer.

Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep.

So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically.

For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL’s unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health.

Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results!

He began his career as a mechanical engineer in Germany’s automotive industry, but later became a healthcare system consultant and is now a fitness tech pioneer.

By significantly improving his own VO2max, CAROL Bike has helped him turn back the clock on aging and keep it there.

QUOTES

“Unfortunately, with aging, we all lose about 10% of our VO2 max per decade. So it’s a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don’t do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.”

“Based on the feedback we’re receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.”
