    95: Healing your pelvic floor and more with Dr. Rivka Friedman

    Have you been told that bladder leaks, pelvic pain, or discomfort during intimacy are just a normal part of getting older? Many women in perimenopause and menopause experience symptoms like urinary urgency, leaking, pelvic pressure, vaginal discomfort, or pain with sex — but often suffer in silence or assume there's nothing they can do about it. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch is joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Rivka Friedman for an empowering conversation about pelvic floor health during midlife. They discuss how hormonal changes can impact the pelvic floor, why symptoms like bladder issues, prolapse, and pelvic pain are so common, and how pelvic floor therapy can help women regain comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Whether you're dealing with symptoms yourself or simply want to better understand your body, this episode offers practical insights and hope. You'll learn why pelvic floor health is about much more than Kegels — and why it's never too late to seek support. 🎧 Listen now and discover how caring for your pelvic floor can help you thrive through perimenopause and menopause.

    93: Menopause makeover with Dr. Sanam Zahedi

    Have you looked in the mirror lately and wondered why your body suddenly feels unfamiliar — even though you're taking care of yourself the same way you always have? Menopause can bring changes that affect not only how we look, but also how we feel in our bodies and ourselves.

Together, they explore the science behind hormonal shifts, collagen loss, breast changes, body composition, facial aging, and why understanding what's happening beneath the surface can help women make informed decisions about aesthetic treatments.

    Are your workouts suddenly feeling harder in your 40s? Many women in perimenopause and menopause notice more joint pain, slower recovery, and stubborn weight gain — not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because their bodies are changing.

They break down the foundations of effective training at this stage of life — from strength work that protects muscle and bone, to low-impact cardio that still boosts metabolism, to mobility and yoga that keep you flexible and injury-free.

    89: Comprehensive health with Dr. Stella Villacorta

    Are you in your 40s and starting to wonder whether your “annual check-up” is really enough? Many women in perimenopause and menopause focus on caring for everyone else — and only seek medical care when something goes wrong. But this stage of life is when prevention matters most: hormones shift, metabolism slows, and risks for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer begin to rise. In this episode, we break down what a true comprehensive health evaluation should look like for midlife women — from cardiovascular and metabolic screening to cancer prevention, genetic risks, lifestyle habits, and emotional wellbeing. We’re joined by Dr. Stella Villacorta, a board-certified internal medicine physician and concierge doctor whose personal experience with breast cancer shaped her passion for proactive, personalized care. She shares practical, actionable steps every woman can start today. ---------------------- Enjoyed the episode?
