    Your Labs Are "Normal"—So Why Don't You Feel Like Yourself? Hormones, Perimenopause & Advocating for Your Health with Cindy Dupuie

    What happens when you know something has changed in your body—but you keep being told your labs are "normal" or that what you're experiencing is simply part of getting older? For too many women, that's where the conversation ends. In this episode of Empower HER Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with functional medicine practitioner, nutritionist, educator, and yoga teacher Cindy Dupuie for a powerful conversation about perimenopause, menopause, hormone health, lab testing, and what it means to become an informed advocate for your own health. Cindy shares how her own health journey changed the trajectory of her career and why looking at the whole woman—not simply isolated symptoms or a single lab value—can reveal a much bigger picture. Together, Dr. Corey and Cindy explore the difference between being told your results fall within a "normal" range and understanding what may be optimal for you. They discuss why tracking changes over time matters, how hormones like estrogen and progesterone influence far more than hot flashes and periods, and why symptoms involving sleep, energy, mood, digestion, thyroid function, bone health, and more deserve thoughtful investigation. They also dive into one of the most important conversations women can have about their healthcare: How do you advocate for yourself when you know something feels different? Because you are allowed to ask more questions. You are allowed to say, "That answer doesn't make sense to me." You are allowed to ask, "What else could be contributing to this?" and "What are my options?" And you are allowed to seek a practitioner who is willing to listen, investigate, and help you understand the full picture. In this episode, you'll hear conversations about: • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms that may be overlooked or dismissed • "Normal" lab ranges versus looking at your individual health history and trends • Thyroid testing and why women may want to ask questions about a more complete evaluation • The roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone throughout the body • Hormones, sleep, mood, energy, digestion, bone health, and longevity • The evolving conversation around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) • Why education can help women feel more confident in medical appointments • How to ask better questions and advocate for the care you need This conversation is not about diagnosing yourself or chasing a perfect number. It's about becoming more informed, more curious, and more confident in the conversations you have about your body. If you've ever thought, I know something has changed, but I don't know how to explain it—or who will actually listen,this episode is for you. Your body is giving you information. You deserve the knowledge to understand it—and the confidence to keep asking questions until you find the care and answers you need.

    Let's Talk GLP-1s...everything you need to know if you are taking one or considering it!

    Last week I had the opportunity to teach a group of women about one of the most talked-about topics in healthcare today: GLP-1 medications. As I was preparing this presentation, I realized this conversation was too important not to share here on the podcast. Whether you've been prescribed Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or another GLP-1 medication—or you're simply trying to understand what all the headlines mean—my goal isn't to convince you to take one or avoid one, as a Doctor of Physical Therapy that is not my scope of practice. My goal is to help you make informed decisions with confidence and discuss all of your options with your healthcare practitioner.   As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I believe every woman deserves evidence-based information, not fear, shame, or social media opinions. In this episode, we discuss: • What GLP-1 medications actually do inside the body • Why they've become so popular for weight loss • The science behind appetite, food noise, and blood sugar regulation • The risks of muscle loss during rapid weight loss • Why protein and strength training become even more important while taking a GLP-1 • Common misconceptions about these medications • Questions every woman should ask before starting treatment • How to think beyond the number on the scale and focus on long-term health This isn't about choosing sides. It's about understanding the evidence, advocating for yourself, and creating a plan that supports your health for years to come. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to continue the conversation each week through The Weekly Exam Room, where we dive deeper into women's health, advocacy, and the science behind living stronger, longer, and with more confidence.

    How Gut Health Impacts Hormones, Energy & Healthy Aging | Dr. Jessica Hoogendoorn

    If you've been feeling exhausted, inflamed, bloated, or like your body isn't responding the way it used to, this conversation is for you. As women move through perimenopause and beyond, many of the strategies that once worked simply stop delivering the same results. The good news? Your body isn't working against you—it may just need a different approach. In this episode of Empower Her Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with naturopathic physician, master herbalist, and Eat2Live founder Dr. Jessica Hoogendoorn to explore one of the most overlooked foundations of women's health: the gut. Together, they unpack how gut health influences energy, hormones, inflammation, skin health, immunity, mood, and overall vitality—and why supporting your body from the inside out creates lasting change. You'll also learn: • Why gut health affects far more than digestion • Common habits that quietly contribute to inflammation • How to simplify supplements and focus on what actually matters • The connection between nutrition (especially protein), hormones, and healthy aging • Why what you put on your body matters just as much as what you put in it • Practical ways to begin supporting your health without feeling overwhelmed Whether you're navigating perimenopause, looking for more energy, or simply wanting to feel like yourself again, this conversation offers practical, evidence-informed guidance you can begin applying today.

    You're Not at a Dead End — You're at a Comma: A West Point Grad, Army Veteran & Doula Founder on Reinvention, Birth Advocacy & Building a Life On Your Own Terms

    What if the version of you that feels finished is actually just paused? West Point graduate, Army veteran, mother of two, and founder of Flower n' Fox Doula and Penn n' Thread, Jannelle Allong- Diakabana, joins Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn to prove that reinvention isn't a detour — it's the plan. From combat leadership in Afghanistan to the loneliest six weeks of her life as a new mom, Jannelle's story is a masterclass in turning hard-won discipline into purpose-driven entrepreneurship. In this raw and riveting conversation, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with Jannelle Allong-Diakabana — West Point graduate, Army officer, tech professional, and now founder of two thriving businesses — to unpack what it really means to reinvent yourself at every chapter of life. Jannelle takes listeners through her unlikely path: a competitive swimmer turned cadet, a platoon leader in Afghanistan, a new mom blindsided by the isolation of postpartum life, and ultimately, a woman who built a doula practice and a communications consultancy from the conviction that no one should go through transformation alone. This episode goes deep into what it actually means to be a doula — the difference between a doula and a midwife, how birth advocacy protects mothers from medical coercion, and why having someone in the room who's there for you, not just the baby, can change the entire trajectory of a birth experience. Jannelle and Dr. Winn talk candidly about postpartum loneliness, the gap between what new mothers are told to expect and what they actually need, and how insurance coverage for doula support — through Medicaid, TRICARE, and fertility benefit companies — is finally starting to catch up to demand. It's a conversation for any woman who has ever felt like she was supposed to have it figured out and didn't. Whether you're a high-achieving leader navigating your own next pivot, a mother craving more support than you were given, or an entrepreneur building something from scratch after a major life transition, this episode is a reminder: every ending is just a comma. The discipline, the sacrifice, the hard seasons — they were never detours. They were preparation. If this conversation moved you, don't keep it to yourself — share it with the woman in your life who's standing at her own comma, wondering what comes next.

    Change Rooms: Elevation, Boundaries & Belonging for High-Achieving Female Entrepreneurs Ready to Rise with Brittany McNeal

    If you're a high-achieving woman who's respected, relied on, and quietly running on empty — this rerelease of one of my favorite episodes was made for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Brittany McNeal, founder of HERPlace, to talk about what it actually looks like to lead, build, and create community without burning yourself out in the process. As a military spouse, mother, and entrepreneur, Brittany carries a deep understanding of the invisible emotional labor that so many women in leadership, business, and constant transition absorb — often in silence. We go there. We talk about burnout recovery, boundaries that protect your nervous system, and the moment Brittany's body forced her to stop — a wake-up call that completely reshaped how she leads, rests, and receives. She shares why women in business don't need more pressure or productivity systems. They need rooms that actually see them. And Brittany has built exactly that. This episode speaks directly to the woman craving emotional regulation, sustainable success, feminine leadership, and wealth-building with integrity — rooted in truth, compassion, and lived experience. If you're a woman in healthcare, leadership, corporate, or entrepreneurship who feels capped despite your capability… if you've been dimming your light in spaces that no longer fit… this episode is your permission to change rooms. You are allowed to stop over-functioning. You are allowed to receive support. You are allowed to build impact and income without abandoning yourself. 🎧 Listen now, share it with the woman who needs to hear she's not alone, and subscribe so you never miss the conversations that activate your next level of leadership, wealth, and ease. This is how we rise — together.

    She Said Yes and Figured It Out: Building an Empire on $500, Grit, and Zero Permission (with Angela Gennari)

In this episode, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with Angela Gennari, founder and CEO of Titan Global Enterprises, host of the Pretty Powerful podcast, serial entrepreneur, and 2024 Inc. Female Founders 250 honoree. Angela didn't follow a blueprint. She bootstrapped her first business at 23, accidentally built a 2,000-person email list out of pure hunger and resourcefulness, launched Titan Global with $500 after her AC unit wiped out her savings, and taught herself WordPress to meet a birthday deadline she refused to break. She has been told no by every bank, turned down by investors, and dismissed in rooms she would later own — and she kept building anyway. This conversation is raw, real, and exactly what you need if you've been waiting for permission to make your next move. Angela and Dr. Corey dig into what it means to lead with vision instead of credentials, why your circle might be the very thing holding you back, and how seasons of life — not an impossible standard of "doing it all" — are the real framework for sustainable success. If you've ever butted yourself out of your own dream, this episode is your reset. In this episode, you'll hear: How Angela accidentally built her first business at 23 — motivated entirely by getting a real meal. Why "say yes and figure it out" has been her business philosophy from day one. The $500 launch story: how she built Titan Global when life took $4,500 of her $5,000 starting capital the week before launch. Why the people who love you most may be keeping you the smallest. The truth about entrepreneurship that nobody talks about: you don't need to know the how — you need to become a visionary. Why spreading yourself thin across networking groups is costing you the relationships that would actually move your business forward. The seasons framework: how to stop trying to do it all at once, and start doing the right things at the right time.

    You Don't Burn Out Because You're Weak — You Burn Out Because Nobody Taught You How to Offload

    You've built something incredible. A career, a life, a reputation as the woman who handles it all. And somewhere in the middle of all that doing, something started to feel… off. Heavy. Like you can't quite catch your breath even when nothing is technically wrong. This week's conversation is the one you didn't know you needed. Dr. Corey Winn sits down with Cindi DuMond — former pediatric nurse, business owner, funeral director, and now a certified Adult Chair Master Coach — whose life story alone will stop you in your tracks. Cindi spent decades at the intersection of life's most emotionally charged moments: helping children find courage in the hardest situations and walking families through the unimaginable. And after nearly 30 years in the field, she found herself asking the same question her clients now ask her: Why do I still feel like I can't put it down? What she discovered changed everything — not just for herself, but for every high-achieving woman she now coaches. The answer isn't more boundaries. It's not another productivity hack. It's learning to offload — and realizing you were never taught how. In this episode, Cindi and Dr. Corey go deep on the emotional patterns keeping high-performing women stuck, burned out, and quietly falling apart behind polished exteriors. They talk about the grief nobody tells you about — the kind that doesn't require a death to be real — and why identifying it could be the first step to everything changing for you. This is the conversation for the woman who keeps going when she should stop, who picks up the slack because no one else will, and who genuinely doesn't know how to turn off at the end of the day. Because you can care deeply — without carrying everyone's weight. In this episode, you'll discover: → Why burnout isn't a capacity problem — it's an offloading problem (and what that actually means) → How unrecognized grief is quietly accumulating in your body, your leadership, and your decision-making → The surprising truth about why asking for help is actually an act of generosity → What happens in your nervous system when you're mentally still at work while physically sitting at the dinner table → Why anxiety lives in the future and grief lives in the past — and how to anchor yourself to now → The thymus tap: a 60-second nervous system reset you can do anywhere, even in front of a client → Cindi's free 2-Minute Client Reset Tool — a downloadable cheat sheet you can keep on your phone Timestamps: → 0:00 — Intro: The conversation high-achieving women aren't having out loud → 0:48 — Meet Cindi DuMond: pediatric nurse, funeral director, now coach → 4:51 — What decades in emotionally intense work taught her about giving too much → 6:36 — The real reason high-performing women burn out (it's not what you think) → 7:36 — Grief isn't just about death — and recognizing it could change everything → 10:41 — What your body is telling you when stress shows up as a stiff neck, back pain, or a shaking leg → 15:17 — How emotional overload sabotages female CEOs' decision-making, leadership, and wealth creation → 17:16 — Why anxiety lives in the future and rumination lives in the past — and how to get present → 20:10 — If you're always doing it all, no one will ever offer to help → 21:04 — The receiving problem: why we learned to do everything ourselves, and how to unlearn it → 28:41 — The Thymus Tap: Cindi teaches a 60-second reset tool live on the show → 30:46 — Where to find Cindi + her free 2-Minute Client Reset Tool Connect with Cindi DuMond: → Website & Free Reset Tool: CindiDuMond.com/reset → Executive Emotional Offload Program: CindiDuMond.com/offload → LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Connect with Dr. Corey: → Website: www.coreywinn.com → Book a free call: www.coreywinn.com/freecall → Instagram: @coreywinndpt | LinkedIn: @coreywinn → Nonprofit: www.thecarledwardfoundation.org

    Gold, Grit, and Going Again: Paralympic Champion Kate Brim on Resilience, Reinvention, and the Relentless Pursuit of Your Next Level

    _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> What would you do if a routine surgery left you paralyzed at 19 — and someone handed you a brochure for a nursing home? _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> If you're Kate Brim, you say absolutely not — and then you go on to win Paralympic gold in Paris. This conversation will stop you in your tracks. In this deeply powerful episode of Empower HER Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with Paralympic gold and bronze medalist Kate Brim — Team USA paracyclist, spinal cord injury survivor, adaptive sport advocate, and one of the most relentlessly resilient women you will ever hear. Adopted from Ukraine at age 4, raised by parents who refused to let limits define her, Kate was 19 years old and building a career in construction management when a routine back surgery for a herniated disc left her a quadriplegic overnight. What followed wasn't a story of loss — it was a masterclass in reinvention, radical self-belief, and the kind of grit that doesn't just survive adversity, it competes at the highest level on the world stage because of it. Kate takes us behind the scenes of her road to the Paris Paralympic Games — and nothing about it was clean. Three and a half weeks before competition: a cracked bike frame that no shop in Colorado would touch. A $40,000 hand cycle patched together with epoxy. A kidney infection so severe she spent two weeks in the hospital, lost 15 pounds, and came out barely able to sit. Type 1 diabetes. A GI condition so serious she now receives all of her nutrition intravenously through a process called Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) — a literal lifeline she manages 24/7, packs in checked luggage to compete internationally, and knows could one day cost her her life. She raced Paris anyway. She won gold by 7 seconds. And she is already training for LA. If you have ever used the words "I can't" — this episode is your permission slip to burn them. Beyond the medals, this conversation goes deep on what it actually means to build a life that is fully, unapologetically yours — even when circumstances strip away the original blueprint. Kate and Dr. Corey discuss access to rehabilitation and disability advocacy, the invisible support systems behind elite athletic performance, the emotional truth of dark seasons and how to move through them without bypassing them, and what it looks like to wake up every single day and choose to live fully with what you have. This is not a story about overcoming disability. This is a story about a woman who decided her life would be defined by what she chose — not what happened to her. [00:00] Introduction — Meet Kate Brim: Paralympic gold & bronze medalist, Team USA paracyclist, training for LA 2028 [00:47] Kate's origin story: adopted from Ukraine at age 4, raised with a push-past-your-limits mindset [01:45] The injury that changed everything: a routine back surgery at age 19 leaves Kate a quadriplegic [04:27] Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital — why access to elite rehab is life-changing (and not guaranteed) [07:49] Finding adaptive sport — wheelchair rugby and hand cycling become Kate's new world [13:09] The team behind the athlete: why Kate credits her community for every result on the podium [20:59] The Paris road: cervical spinal cord injury + Type 1 diabetes + kidney infection + a cracked $40K bike [29:17] The real cost of Paralympic sport — hand cycles, 7-month wait times, and the funding reality [34:44] Paris Paralympic Time Trial: "Just keep me moving." Gold by 7 seconds. [39:41] What Kate wishes able-bodied people understood about hard days, grief, and resilience If this episode lit something up in you — share it. Send it to the woman in your life who needs a reminder of what she is made of. Subscribe to Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn so you never miss a conversation that challenges you to rise. Leave a review and tell us what hit home. Follow Kate Brim and cheer her on as she trains for the LA Games — because women like Kate don't just deserve medals.
