Science-backed, do-able health for women in midlife and beyond — menopause, hormones, breast cancer prevention, gut health and longevity — with Emmy-winning journalist, 2x breast cancer thriver and Certified Health Coach Samantha Harris. Hi, my friends, it's Samantha — WELCOME! Many of you may know me from eight seasons as the co-host of "Dancing with the Stars" and "Entertainment Tonight". Today I'm also a #1 bestselling wellness author (Your Healthiest Healthy, the book), a Certified Health Coach & Certified Trainer. Thriving through and beyond two battles with breast cancer brought me to you! Yes, breast cancer blindsided me at age 40. That diagnosis sent me searching for real answers on how to lower our risk of chronic disease and live more vibrantly. Then at 50, BAM! — a recurrence knocked me down again. That's when I realized that trying to be "100% toxin-free" 100% of the time fails. Every. Time. The overwhelm, fear and worry were just too much. So I created my "10% Toxic" method to succeed and share optimal, attainable health with others. The strategic swaps that allow you to lower your toxic burden as close to 10% as you can, and keep that 10% wiggle room to live fully, not fearfully. It's not about chasing perfect. On every episode, I sit down with leading doctors, researchers and wellness experts (plus solo coaching sessions and "best of" recaps with just me) to turn the latest science into small, manageable steps you can start today. Topics include menopause and HRT, hormonal and vaginal health, breast cancer prevention and survivorship, gut health, nutrition and plant-based eating, GLP-1s and weight loss, intermittent fasting, blood sugar, bone and muscle strength, sleep, brain health, stress and anxiety, inflammation, detoxing, toxin-free beauty and home, biohacking, longevity and so much more. Time to take your wellness power back and become YOUR Healthiest Healthy. Let's do this — together! Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and if you love it, please share it with a friend. (And a warm ask from you? It would mean to the world to me to leave a 5-star review...thanks, in adance!).

    Outsmart Cancer: The Red Flags Doctors Miss & Screening Questions to Ask with guest expert Dr. Sanjay Juneja #77

    A triple board-certified hematologist, medical oncologist and clinical informaticist reveals why most cancers aren't inherited, the everyday blood-work red flags that get missed, and the exact questions that turn a "negative" result into real peace of mind. If you've ever skipped a screening because "it doesn't run in my family," this one is for you. My guest is better know to his social following as TheOncDoc, and he wastes no time busting that myth: the vast majority of cancers aren't inherited at all. They're largely a disease of age, time and exposure, which means the everyday choices you make in your 40s, 50s and 60s matter more than most of us were ever told. We get real about what a "clear" mammogram actually means when nearly half of women have dense breasts, the red flags hiding in your routine blood work, and how to advocate for yourself when you know something isn't right (I also share my own story of a lump that two doctors brushed off). Then we dig into the science of insulin as a growth signal, why glucose regulation is getting so much attention from oncologists, and the simple, no-prescription-needed habits that move your risk in the right direction. It's “10% Toxic” in action: do your best, skip the panic, and sleep well knowing you're doing the most you can. In this episode, you will learn: Why 85–90% of cancers aren't inherited, and why "it doesn't run in my family" is not a reason to skip screeningThe dense-breast blind spot: why 40–50% of women can get a "negative" mammogram that misses something, and what contrast-enhanced mammography addsThe questions to ask after a "negative" biopsy so you know it actually sampled the right areaAnemia as an early warning: why new, unexplained low hemoglobin should always prompt the question "Why am I anemic?"How a healthy appetite is actually a reassuring sign, and which persistent changes (fatigue, bowel habits, appetite) warrant a call to your doctorWhy albumin trending down on your standard blood panel is worth a closer lookMulti-cancer blood tests, decoded: what tests like Galleri can and can't tell youWhy cervical cancer is called "the one cancer that shouldn't exist," and how screening intervals are really setInsulin, explained: why this hormone acts as a growth factor and what that means for glucose regulation and cancer riskThe heart-rate "snack" strategy, the two-nights-a-week alcohol shift, and other habits that add up over decades About Our Guest Expert: Dr. Sanjay Juneja is a triple board-certified hematologist, medical oncologist and clinical informaticist serving as Vice President of AI & Medical Informatics for Tempus AI, where he leads clinical AI strategy and implementation initiatives that bridge cutting-edge artificial intelligence with real-world oncology practice. He is the author of We Need to Talk About Cancer: An IMPORTANT Book for Patients, Family, and Friends and a master's candidate at Stanford Medical in clinical informatics management. Dr. Juneja maintains an active clinical practice with Citrus Oncology. He serves on the Editorial Board of the peer-reviewed journal AI in Precision Oncology and is the co-founder of two startups, including TensorBlack Inc., an AI education and consulting company focused on oncology applications.

    7 Essentials to Outsmart Cancer: Cancer Twice, Thriving Anyway with guest expert Dr. Veronique Desaulniers #76

    Check out the seven the exact steps that saved Dr. V’s life — the steps for catching cancer early, detoxing without extremes, and stopping recurrence before it starts. If you've ever left a screening appointment wondering, “Is that really everything I can do?” this conversation is for you. This October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m pulling out of the vault my sit-down with Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, known as Dr. V, who felt a lump during a breast self-exam in 2004 and faced breast cancer a second time in 2015. Out of those experiences, she built her 7 Essentials system, a step-by-step framework that covers prevention, food, toxins, energy, emotions, herbs, and dental health. We get into how mammograms, ultrasound, and thermography can work together, how to learn what's normal for your breasts (I share how mine turned up just 11 days after a clear result), what a surprising blood sugar reading taught Dr. V about juicing, and simple ways to lower your everyday toxic load without trying to live in a bubble. Dr. V shares her personal experience and perspective, and every diagnosis is different, so bring what resonates to your own doctor or oncology team before you change anything. My goal isn't to scare you into health. It's to hand you back your agency. In this episode, you will learn: Breast Health Awareness Month: why Dr. V prefers that name for October and what it changes about how you think about your breasts all yearHow mammograms, ultrasound, and thermography each show something different, and why she suggests pairing tools instead of leaning on just oneA self-exam surprise: how much smaller a lump can be when you know what to feel for, and how the My Breast Friend tool helps you practiceThe simple blood tests Dr. V suggests asking your doctor about, including vitamin D and 4 inflammation markers (CRP, homocysteine, LDH, and ESR)The juicing surprise: what checking her blood sugar after 30 years of juicing changed about her routineWhy she says there's no one-size-fits-all way to eat, and why she likes a Mediterranean-style patternWhat xenoestrogens are, and why she says to look at plastics, heavy metals, and what you put on your skinA label check you can do today: how to use EWG.org and the ingredient list to spot fragrance, a catch-all term that doesn't have to list what's insideThe role Dr. V gives sleep, stress, and emotional health in her framework, plus the daily “relaxation mode” she recommendsHer perspective on silver fillings and root canals, and the newer root canal approach she mentions…and so much more to help you become more informed, proactive, and confident about supporting your health for the long run. About Our Guest Expert: Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, known as Dr. V, is the founder of Breast Cancer Conqueror and the creator of the 7 Essentials system, a step-by-step wellness framework she developed after facing breast cancer twice. A bioenergetic chiropractor with more than two decades in practice, she is the author of Heal Breast Cancer Naturally and the co-founder of My Breast Friend, a breast self-exam training tool.

    Lube Is Not a Treatment Plan: Vaginal Estrogen, DHEA, Peptides & What Your Doctor Should Be Prescribing with Dr. Corinne Menn (Part 2) #75

    One of the most trusted OB/GYNs (who’s also a breast cancer survivor!) breaks down vaginal estrogen products, peptide safety, GLP-1s, supplement stacks, and why your DEXA scan matters more than you think. There is no shortage of products promising to help women feel better through menopause — vaginal estrogen, DHEA, testosterone, peptide stacks, GLP-1s, supplements by the fistful. But here's the question nobody is asking loudly enough: what actually has the science behind it, and what's just noise? In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Corinne Menn, we go deep on the specific vaginal hormone products that are out there — Vagifem, estrogen rings, creams, Intrarosa — and I finally get clarity on which women need what, why one option isn't always enough, and the little application trick that completely changed the game for me. Then we go somewhere most podcasts won't: peptide stacks, GLP-1s for cancer survivors, and the uncomfortable truth about how many women are spending hundreds on supplements they can't even explain. Dr. Menn draws a line I think every woman needs to hear — between well-studied treatments and unregulated compounds with zero long-term human safety data. And underneath all of it is a message that hits home for me personally: you cannot out-supplement (or inject or biohack) a bad foundation. Your muscles, your bones, your protein intake, your strength training — that's the real longevity plan. Everything else is just a tool in the toolbox. In this episode, you will learn: Why vaginal estrogen is not a one-size-fits-all solution — and how to work with your clinician to adjust if your first approach isn't enoughThe difference between Vagifem (estradiol insert), vaginal estrogen cream, and the estrogen ring — and which women benefit from combining more than oneWhat vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) is, how it converts to estradiol AND testosterone inside the cells, and the application trick Dr. Menn teaches her patientsThe estriol myth: why one common recommendation to use estriol externally isn't actually supported by US evidenceWhy local vaginal estrogen does NOT require progesterone for uterine protection — and when progesterone IS non-negotiableWhere low-dose local testosterone fits for women with severe vaginal atrophy, especially those on aromatase inhibitorsThe peptide truth bomb: Dr. Menn's blunt assessment about long-term human safety data and popular peptide stacks — "full stop"Why growth-promoting peptides deserve extra caution for anyone with a cancer history — including reports of skin tumors from tanning peptidesHow GLP-1 medications may help certain cancer survivors — but why they come with a serious asterisk around muscle mass, bone density, and nutritional qualityWhy your DEXA scan is a better investment than a peptide stack — and why waiting until 65 to check your bone density is "absurd" About Our Guest Expert:Dr. Corinne Menn is a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society certified practitioner whose work in menopause care is deeply informed by her own experience as a young breast cancer survivor. Diagnosed at age 28 while completing her OB/GYN training, she went through chemotherapy-induced menopause, ovarian suppression, and later surgical menopause. She subsequently learned that she carries a BRCA2 mutation. Her personal experience with the gaps in cancer survivorship and menopause care became a major part of her professional focus, including helping women navigate menopause after breast cancer and other medically complex situations.

    What Your Oncologist Won't Say: The Lube it Up & Suck it Up B.S. and Hormone Straight Talk with guest expert Dr. Corinne Menn (Part 1) #74

    You're told to suffer through menopause after cancer, try lube first, and never question the blanket "no" on hormones. This episode tears that playbook apart.I sat down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB/GYN, Menopause Society certified practitioner, and breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at just 28 years old, and this conversation blew me away. Dr. Menn experienced menopause three different ways — from chemotherapy-induced to medically suppressed to surgical — and that lived experience fuels her mission to make sure no woman suffers the way she did. We unpack why breast cancer is not one disease, why hormone therapy decisions must be individualized, and why the "lube it up and suck it up" culture around painful sex and vaginal atrophy needs to end…NOW! This is a wake-up call for every woman in menopause, and especially for cancer survivors who've been told their only option is to suffer in silence. Dr. Menn brings the science and the soul to our conversation about genetic testing gaps, the real data on hormone therapy after breast cancer, and why vaginal estrogen should be standard of care, full stop. Plus, she breaks down what vaginal atrophy actually looks like, why it goes way beyond "dryness," and how untreated GSM can lead to everything from chronic UTIs to hip fractures. If you've ever felt dismissed by your doctor or confused by conflicting advice, this one's for you. What You'll LearnWhy breast cancer is "as unique as your fingerprint" and why your menopause treatment should be just as individualizedThe 3 times Dr. Menn experienced menopause and how each one taught her what the medical system got wrongWhy genetic testing done before 2013 may be dangerously incomplete, and how to request updated panelsThe real data on systemic hormone therapy after breast cancer, including what the HABITS and Stockholm trials actually showedWhy vaginal estrogen is now in the NCCN guidelines and should be offered as standard of care to breast cancer survivorsThe difference between ER-positive, triple-negative, and DCIS when it comes to hormone therapy riskWhy the "fail first" approach to vaginal dryness (try lube and moisturizers before hormones) is unscientific and harmfulHow genital urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects far more than just sex, including UTIs, bladder function, and even hip fractures in older womenWhat Dr. Menn would have done differently after her own diagnosis: baseline labs, bone density, vaginal hormones, and a real exercise prescriptionSamantha's "10% Toxic" philosophy and why trying to eliminate 100% of toxins actually backfired after her first cancer diagnosis…and more! About Our GuestDr. Corinne Menn is a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28 during her second year of residency in New York City. After losing her mother to ovarian cancer at 54 and later discovering she carries the BRCA2 mutation, Dr. Menn dedicated her career to helping women navigate menopause, with a particular focus on breast cancer survivors. She treats patients through both her private practice and her telemedicine practice, bringing a rare combination of clinical expertise and deeply personal experience to every patient encounter.

    Menopause's changes almost no one warns you about — vaginal health, stubborn weight gain, hormone therapy timing, GLP-1s done right, and why testosterone deserves way more credit in women's midlife health. YOUR BODY CHANGED. THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU FAILED. You can be eating well, lifting weights, paying attention to your health—and suddenly your body seems to be playing by a completely different set of rules. In this episode, I sit down with certified hormone specialist and transformational nutrition coach Karen Martel for a candid conversation about the changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause—and the options we may want to discuss with our healthcare teams. We get into the things women are rarely warned about: changes in vaginal tissue, collagen, bone health, body composition (you know, that hunch back we also are getting, too?!), metabolism, energy, stress and even our voices. Karen also shares her perspective on hormone therapy, why menopause weight gain can feel so stubborn, where GLP-1 medications may fit into the conversation, why preserving muscle becomes increasingly important, and why she believes testosterone deserves much more attention in women’s health. Most importantly, this isn’t about creating one “perfect” menopause plan. The conversation repeatedly comes back to individualized care, informed choices and supporting your body in ways that help you stay strong, capable and confident for the decades ahead. In this episode, you will learn:Discover why more than half of women may experience some form of genitourinary change at menopause—and why almost none of us are told in advance.The real reason for that "hunchback": why bone density loss in the years after menopause quietly reshapes posture.Find out why oral and transdermal estrogen are not interchangeable, and what to ask your doctor about the difference.Hormone therapy after breast cancer: why Karen says this decision is deeply individual—and why she recommends gathering more than one oncologist's opinion.Learn why testosterone is being studied for a possible role in breast protection, and why this is still an emerging, closely watched area of research.Discover why roughly 80% of women experience some form of weight change at menopause—even the ones "doing everything right."Find out why Karen cautions against long fasting windows for many menopausal women, and who fasting can still work well for.The GLP-1 mistake she sees most often: why going too high, too fast, can backfire on muscle and long-term results.Discover why Karen wouldn't put a healthy young woman on a GLP-1—and what she'd tell her own daughters.Learn why testosterone does far more than support libido, touching bone strength, brain function and energy. About Our Guest Expert:Karen Martel is a Certified Hormone Specialist and Transformational Nutrition Coach, and CEO of Midlife Solutions. Her path into this work started with her own health struggles — hormonal dysfunction in her early 30s, then premature ovarian failure that pushed her into early menopause in her early 40s. That experience became the foundation for her clinical practice today. She hosts The Hormone Solution, a top 1% globally ranked podcast with more than 350 episodes and 2.5 million+ downloads, and her work has been featured by outlets including the University of Arizona Health Sciences.

    Eat Your Way to Live a Decade Longer: The Lost 100-Year-Old Pattern with guest expert Dan Buettner #71

    What if the secret to living longer wasn't a supplement or a new diet trend, but something Americans were already eating a hundred years ago? If you've ever wondered why some of the longest-living people on earth seem to skip the fads, the supplements, and the superfood powders entirely, this episode is your answer. Dan Buettner, the National Geographic Fellow who discovered the world's five Blue Zones, joins me again to unpack the forgotten American diet his team of researchers say could add 6 to 10 years to your life. We get into the five pillars every longevity diet shares, why a daily cup of beans matters more than you'd think, why your toaster might be working against you, and how the friends you keep shape your health more than you realize. This is the real, doable version of eating for a longer life. No extremes required. If you missed his interview in Season 1, be sure to check out Episode #8! As for this episode… What You'll Learn: Why the standard American diet contributes to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths a year, and what's changed since 1980The 5 pillars found in every longevity diet in the worldWhy a daily cup of beans is linked to living 4 years longerWhy lightly steaming greens (even spinach) may beat eating them rawThe one small kitchen swap tied to weighing 6 pounds less over two yearsWhy starting your day with a savory breakfast beats cereal or bacon and eggsHow faith and community involvement are linked to living 4–14 years longerWhy your friends' habits are measurably contagious •Why longevity isn’t about one miracle food, supplement, or 30-day challenge—it’s about habits you can happily repeat for decades. … and so much more to help you create a lifestyle that supports not only a longer life, but a healthier, more vibrant one. About Our Guest Expert: Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist, producer, and New York Times bestselling author best known for discovering and researching the world’s Blue Zones—regions where people consistently live exceptionally long, healthy lives. His work explores the food, movement, social, environmental, and lifestyle patterns shared by some of the world’s longest-lived populations. In The Blue Zones American Kitchen, Dan turns his attention to the United States, uncovering traditional plant-forward food cultures and heritage recipes that reflect many of the same longevity principles found in Blue Zones around the world.

    If you've ever wondered whether your daily habits are quietly protecting your brain, or quietly working against it, this one's for you. Some of the most powerful things you can do for your memory, your focus, and your long-term brain health aren't found in a prescription. They're in your morning coffee, your nightly sleep, and the way you help your body recover every single day. I'm joined by returning guest expert Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and 6-time New York Times bestselling author, to unpack the real science on the choices that shape cognitive function, metabolism, and longevity. We get into why coffee is so much more than caffeine, how deep sleep literally washes waste out of your brain overnight, why tracking your sleep might be one of the smartest health moves you make, and what the research actually says about infrared saunas, cold plunges, and heart rate variability. It's practical, it's evidence-based, and you can start using it today. What You'll Learn: • Why coffee is far more than caffeine, and the 90-plus bioactive compounds that may help protect your brain • The daily coffee sweet spot, and the "caffeine curfew" that guards your deep sleep • How to choose cleaner coffee: organic, mold-free, water-processed decaf, and why flavored blends are a gamble • Quality over quantity: why "I slept 8 hours" tells you almost nothing about your brain • How deep sleep activates the glymphatic system to wash away waste tied to cognitive decline, and the minimum you should aim for • The everyday habits that quietly sabotage restorative sleep, and why a wearable can help you fix them • What HRV really measures, why higher means more resilient, and simple ways to raise yours • Hot & Cold therapy: What the science says about infrared saunas and cold plunges, and why heat and cold may share the same protective pathways • A crucial caution for breast cancer survivors and anyone at risk for lymphedema before starting heat or cold therapy • The Mouthwash Habit Your Didn't Realize Is Harming You: The surprising connection between your mouth bacteria, mouthwash, blood pressure, and blood sugar • Brain-Boosting Movement: Why exercise acts like medicine, turning your muscles into hormone-producing organs that support your brain ...and so much more!

About

Science-backed, do-able health for women in midlife and beyond — menopause, hormones, breast cancer prevention, gut health and longevity — with Emmy-winning journalist, 2x breast cancer thriver and Certified Health Coach Samantha Harris. Hi, my friends, it's Samantha — WELCOME! Many of you may know me from eight seasons as the co-host of "Dancing with the Stars" and "Entertainment Tonight". Today I'm also a #1 bestselling wellness author (Your Healthiest Healthy, the book), a Certified Health Coach & Certified Trainer. Thriving through and beyond two battles with breast cancer brought me to you! Yes, breast cancer blindsided me at age 40. That diagnosis sent me searching for real answers on how to lower our risk of chronic disease and live more vibrantly. Then at 50, BAM! — a recurrence knocked me down again. That's when I realized that trying to be "100% toxin-free" 100% of the time fails. Every. Time. The overwhelm, fear and worry were just too much. So I created my "10% Toxic" method to succeed and share optimal, attainable health with others. The strategic swaps that allow you to lower your toxic burden as close to 10% as you can, and keep that 10% wiggle room to live fully, not fearfully. It's not about chasing perfect. On every episode, I sit down with leading doctors, researchers and wellness experts (plus solo coaching sessions and "best of" recaps with just me) to turn the latest science into small, manageable steps you can start today. Topics include menopause and HRT, hormonal and vaginal health, breast cancer prevention and survivorship, gut health, nutrition and plant-based eating, GLP-1s and weight loss, intermittent fasting, blood sugar, bone and muscle strength, sleep, brain health, stress and anxiety, inflammation, detoxing, toxin-free beauty and home, biohacking, longevity and so much more. Time to take your wellness power back and become YOUR Healthiest Healthy. Let's do this — together! Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and if you love it, please share it with a friend. (And a warm ask from you? It would mean to the world to me to leave a 5-star review...thanks, in adance!). Be sure to connect with me on social for more answers to your questions or just a simple hello!
