“In the perimenopausal space, it’s kind of like when your indicator comes on and says that you have low gas. And as you see that signal, the goal is [to] go refuel. Let me use this opportunity to go refuel. Perimenopause is the time to start getting some things in place to refuel: changing your diet, incorporating more protein, but also fiber. Looking at what you may be depleted in to refuel.”
“I want to really change that narrative of what we do for our health, how we think of ourselves in health, and start those conversations earlier.”
“I think resilience is key. But many times we have to practice it. We have to be expanded to come back, and if we don’t allow for that growth, then we are not resilient. And we know that mentally and emotionally and physically, the body is built to be resilient, but we have to teach it that as well.”

“So often sleep is disrupted by perimenopause and menopause. What a lot of women don’t realize is you can be having hot flashes but not consciously registering you’re having hot flashes. So a lot of women are being woken up by hot flashes they didn’t realize they were having.”
”We desperately need more practitioners who can answer those questions for women, whether it’s a more natural, holistic approach that does or doesn’t include hormone therapy, antidepressants, or any of the other things. Because the other problem is that these doctors are often doling out pharmaceuticals for sleep.”
”We now know that the impact of declining estrogen and progesterone on the brain [and] on the nervous system absolutely has an impact on anxiety, depression, and sleep.”

The immune system is a MASSIVE key to your overall health. So what can you do to best support it and truly THRIVE at any age?
In this episode, pioneering functional medicine expert Dr. Jeffrey Bland joins me to explore how immune system rejuvenation can be a game-changer for long-term health.
We dive into the idea that food truly is medicine, and how targeted nutrition (while minimizing ultra-processed foods) can help the immune system recover AND strengthen.
Dr. Bland shares exciting insights on immuno-rejuvenation and spotlights an ancient yet “new” superfood—Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat—that’s paving the way for the future of nutrition and longevity.
Together, we unpack how chronic stress, inflammation, and poor nutrition quietly tax the body over time, increasing disease risk, and what you can do to interrupt that cycle.
Ready for real healing to occur?
Tune into this episode for realistic, practical lifestyle strategies for sleep, stress, and nourishment to help you feel stronger, more resilient, and energized for your years ahead!
Dr. Jeffrey Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform how people think about the immune system. Jeff’s career in health spans more than 40 years. As a nutritional biochemist by training, he began his career as a university professor and later spent three decades in the natural products industry. In 1991, he and his wife founded The Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2012, Jeff founded another educational nonprofit called the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute. Jeff is the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as countless other books and research papers.
“The only 2 places that are surveying the outside world to tell our inside body how to work 24/7 are the nervous system and the immune system. And those two systems are interconnected and they regulate how we look, act and feel. They speak to every organ of our body.”
“That science supports the fact that when you intervene with the right things [in] your body in a fairly short period of time–three months– [it] can turn itself around.”
“When we’re tuning our immune system, we’re actually tuning how we’re living in the world to feel safe– and it’s relationships, it’s environment, it’s our food. If our food is unsafe, then our body is unsafe. So I think that’s a really powerful metaphor to where we want to navigate our life to be in a tolerant, safe place.”
