QUOTES

“Once I got on the hormones, that was extremely helpful and it totally saved my life, and I love them… [but] it didn’t solve all my problems. There’s still a huge developmental phase that we’re going through as women. People going through menopause, huge transitions in our sense of self, our ambition, our drive, who we are, our identity, of course sexuality, and that’s a lot to manage on top of everything else that’s happening in life.”

“For a lot of women, it’s taking 4 to 6 appointments for doctors to connect the dots between what they’re going through and it being perimenopause and menopause. And what that does is it delays care, it delays treatment, and it delays a woman’s quality of life.”

“I think telling the stories and sharing really authentically and vulnerably and transparently is such an important piece of this because we heal together. We are changing culture. We are weaving a new sisterhood, a new ethos. We also have to educate our partners, our children, our work environments, and really shape shift the culture.”

Episode Summary

Millions of women struggle with infertility worldwide. And if you’re one of them, you’re not alone.

But in this inspiring episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Ann Shippy to unpack the growing fertility crisis—and more importantly, what you can do to turn things around.

Dr. Shippy shares how the integrative and functional medicine approach helps women heal their gut, support detoxification, manage stress, and supercharge their mitochondria to naturally boost fertility and have healthier pregnancies.

We also dive into the world of epigenetics—how the choices you make before conception can literally shape how your baby’s genes are expressed for lifelong health.

Dr. Shippy’s message is clear: preconception care isn’t just about getting pregnant, it’s about setting up the next generation for success.

Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, taking time to optimize your health before conceiving can make all the difference for you AND your baby.

Tune in to learn how intentional steps today can lead to healthier pregnancies, thriving babies, and an empowered path to motherhood.

Dr. Ann Shippy

Dr. Ann Shippy is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician and certified Functional Medicine practitioner. Before entering the world of medicine, Dr. Shippy spent years as a chemical engineer—a role that shaped her precision-driven, systems-based approach to health. Her transition to medicine was born from personal health struggles and a desire to uncover the root causes of illness rather than treating just symptoms alone. As the founder of Every Baby Well, Dr. Shippy empowers couples to prepare for healthy pregnancies through science-backed protocols, lab testing, and functional strategies. Motivated by the rising rates of chronic illness and developmental challenges in children, she authored The Preconception Revolution: A Science-Backed Path to Your Fertility and Generational Health, a practical and hopeful guide to optimizing health before conception.

QUOTES

“What I realized is that as we’re improving fertility, we’re also changing something called epigenetics– how the genes are getting expressed, the little time capsules that are being passed on to the babies with the egg and the sperm, and it would help the kids be healthier.”

“What I hope happens with this message is that even people in their 20s have access to this information about how important it is for them to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. “

“It makes a huge difference to get really good amounts of protein throughout the day, being careful with carbohydrates, and then moving your body– like even just going for a 5, 10, 15-minute walk after each meal can be amazing. And that’s gonna change the epigenetics of the baby. The baby’s going to be more metabolically sound by doing that work before pregnancy and then during pregnancy.”

Episode Summary

The number one reason women come to me for guidance during the perimenopause transition is brain-related.

So in this episode, we dive into why perimenopause directly impacts your mental and emotional health. Many women in midlife experience emotionally connected symptoms like rage, irritability, low stress tolerance, mood swings, depression, and anxiety.

That’s because perimenopause isn’t just a reproductive transition — it’s a neuroendocrine one, meaning your brain and hormones are deeply intertwined.

As hormones fluctuate wildly, it’s no wonder you may feel like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore.

But you’re not alone — millions of women are feeling the same! Tune in here and learn what’s really going on in your brain during this transition.

QUOTES

“Eight of the 10 most common symptoms during this [perimenopause] transition are going to be neurological.”

“It can feel so scary to experience these symptoms without understanding why they’re happening, and that’s why we need to address why women aren’t feeling like themselves in perimenopause. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again– perimenopause deserves our undivided attention. And this is why I wrote the Perimenopause Revolution.”

“Depending on how we take care of our bodies during perimenopause, it can really determine how our bodies thrive. In menopause and beyond.”

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.”
