I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a much needed break which is crucial to anyone’s health and wellness. Resting gives everyone a chance to rest, reflect and come back stronger.
While I'm away, we'll be revisiting some of our favorite episodes. from the 2024 symposium, where I had the pleasure of speaking with some exciting individuals who are stand outs in their field.
Subjects like plant based nutrition, menopause, gut and bone health. These are episodes that have sparked insightful conversations, inspired me, and resonated deeply with our community. We believe that they deserve another moment in the spotlight and we hope you'll enjoy revisiting them as much as I do.
Mark your calendars because we'll be back with fresh, new episodes on August 5, 2025. We're excited about the ideas we have in store for you and we can't wait to share them.
What if navigating midlife could be your most empowering journey yet? Join me as I explore how women can embrace midlife with confidence and transformation. I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Lakeisha Webb McMillan, a renowned integrative ob-gyn hormone specialist and Amazon best-selling author, who sheds light on balancing hormones and regaining energy during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Lakeisha shares her inspiring journey and the core memories that drive her passion for women's health, offering profound insights into how these experiences shape our life's work and purpose.
Midlife doesn't have to be about simply "holding on" until symptoms subside. Together with Dr. Lakeisha, we challenge the stereotypes surrounding perimenopause and menopause, advocating for self-advocacy in healthcare. Learn about the often misunderstood phases that can begin in the late 30s and the importance of personalized care in managing the diverse symptoms brought by fluctuating hormones. We'll discuss practical advice, including DIY solutions and lifestyle changes, to help women navigate these stages with grace.
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing menopause symptoms, as highlighted by the Women's Health Initiative study. Dr. Lakeisha provides valuable insights on how certain foods can trigger inflammation and exacerbate symptoms. We also explore alternative therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Join us for an enlightening conversation filled with practical tips and strategies to enhance your health, fitness, and overall well-being during this exciting chapter of midlife.
