    Red light therapy, sauna, supplements... The best health protocols for women according to a Doctor!

    What if the health advice you're following wasn't actually studied on women... and the protocols everyone's recommending might not work for your body at all? This is a conversation about personalized health, why women need different protocols than men, and the future of precision medicine that actually tracks what your body needs in real time. We're diving into why clinical trials need to study more women, how your hormone levels should dictate your supplementation, and why the one size fits all approach to health is fundamentally broken. We're exploring the cold plunge debate (and why timing matters more than you think), the Finnish sauna study that showed longevity benefits, and why red light therapy might actually be worth the investment if you buy the right device. Here's what we're diving into: Why clinical trials need to study more women (and why N equals 1 isn't enough to understand what works) How ethnicity, biology, childhood, and diet all influence what your body actually needs Why women have different requirements at different life phases (pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond) The supplements women actually need: iron, magnesium, vitamin D (and why they're different from men's needs) Why maintaining muscle mass and bone mineral density is critical for metabolic health (and preventing diabetes and cardiovascular disease) The hormone innovation we need: a patch that tracks your estradiol and progesterone day to day and releases the exact dose you need in real time The cold plunge truth: why you should wait a couple hours after strength training (because it reverses muscle hypertrophy) Why women's body temperatures run higher and cold plunges below 10 degrees might not be ideal for long term muscle preservation The Finnish sauna study: 4 to 7 times a week, 20 minutes at 80 degrees for cardiovascular benefits and lower mortality rates Red light therapy: what the studies actually show (collagen production, scar reduction, dermatological benefits) and why you need a credible device like Omnilux Why yoga can be just as effective as SSRIs for PTSD (but nobody funds the trials because you can't sell yoga) The money problem: why pharmaceutical companies fund drug trials but not trials on things like yoga or cold plunges The cold plunge and fertility question: why temperature regulation matters when you're pregnant or trying to conceive How to actually research health advice: why ChatGPT makes up links and why Open Evidence is the tool you should be using instead This one is for the woman who's been following health advice without questioning where it came from, who wants to understand what her body actually needs, and who's ready to take a more personalized approach to her health. 💁‍♀️ SPONSORS → For ecomm founders: Omnisend is your email SMS automation partner that costs 35% less than the big names and returns $79 for every dollar spent → Use code FSC for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc 🔗 LINKS → Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc → Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub → Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin → Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/

    ADHD in Women: I Made My Husband A Brain Manual (And It Changed Everything!)

    This episode is for women who have a busy brain, feel misunderstood, or want to understand themselves better! I've invited my husband, P-A, back on the show (you heard from him a few episodes ago!) to walk through something I sent him recently that genuinely felt like a breakthrough. I called it 'My Brain Operating Manual'. Quick context.. I've been on this big journey of understanding my ADHD. Why some things feel impossibly hard for me and others come so easily, and what is actually happening inside my brain when I spiral (which is daily, lol). So I sat in the bath one night, went down a massive rabbit hole, and put together a document explaining exactly how my brain works, so PA could finally understand me properly. This episode is the two of us going through it together. No structure, no script, just talking it out: → why an ADHD brain never has a true "off" mode → why I'm completely depleted by the end of every week (and why it's not normal tiredness) → the masking thing that nobody else can see → why a tiny "can you pass me a pen" interruption is genuinely painful → why empty, unscheduled days are a neurological requirement, not a luxury → why new ideas land as extra weight instead of swaps → the book that completely changed how we communicate (The Course of Love by Alain de Botton, read it!) It's a conversation about understanding yourself, being a good partner to someone whose brain works differently, and why depth beats width every single time. If you've got a busy brain, whether you have ADHD or you're just burnt out and stretched and running on empty, this one is for you. We're also kicking off a listener series on busy brains, so if you want to email in your questions, all the details are below. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction 02:00 – Why I made a Brain Operating Manual for my husband 06:30 – The daily spiral (and why it gets worse by Friday) 12:00 – The book that changed how we communicate 17:30 – Bucket 1: an ADHD brain is always running 24:00 – Masking, and why it's invisible exhaustion 30:00 – Why high inbound volume drains the tank 36:00 – Scheduled plans cost energy before they happen 42:00 – Unscheduled time is a neurological requirement 48:30 – Too many roles fragment focus and output 55:00 – Why new suggestions land as additions, not swaps 1:02:00 – The practical fixes that actually changed our lives 1:08:30 – Advice for partners of neurodivergent people 1:13:00 – Depth over width, and our new listener series 🔗 LINKS #FemaleStartupClub #ADHD #Neurodivergent #ADHDinWomen #BurnoutRecovery 📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe → Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub → Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin 📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe: → Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc → Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub → Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin → Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.
