    What New Moms Aren't Told About Postpartum Recovery

    The postpartum period is one of the most significant transitions in a woman's life, yet it remains one of the most underserved areas in modern healthcare. Most women are left with a single six-week visit that clears them for activity but offers little guidance on what to actually expect — physically, mentally, or emotionally — in the months that follow. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Kate Hom and Coach Savannah Miller, co-founders of Mone Wellness, to explore an integrative and functional approach to postpartum care. Together, they discuss why the "bounce back" mentality is not only unrealistic but potentially harmful, and what genuine postpartum support actually looks like — from nutrition and movement to mental health, cultural wisdom, and building your postpartum tribe. We'll explore:  ✔️ Why the six-week postpartum visit gives women a false sense of recovery  ✔️ How nutrient depletion impacts mood, energy, and mental health postpartum  ✔️ The truth about physical and hormonal recovery timelines  ✔️ Cultural traditions and wisdom around postpartum care that we've lost  ✔️ How to safely approach movement and exercise after birth  ✔️ The team you should start assembling in your third trimester  ✔️ What warning signs and red flags to watch for postpartum  ✔️ How the Mone Wellness app supports mothers through this transition Whether you're preparing for postpartum, currently in it, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a compassionate and practical perspective on what real postpartum care can look like — and how to give yourself the grace and support you truly deserve.

    Your Body Isn't Broken, It's In Survival Mode with Dr. Kavin Mistry

    Many people move through life believing stress only comes from emotional overwhelm or major life events, while overlooking how modern living itself may be pushing the body into survival mode. From poor sleep and constant multitasking to technology use, posture, circadian disruption, and metabolic stress, these daily patterns can quietly impact hormones, fertility, energy, and long-term health in ways most people never realize. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Kaveen Mistry to explore how our modern environment influences the brain-body connection and why so many people may be stuck in chronic survival mode. Dr. Mistry shares insights from over 20 years as a neuroradiologist reviewing more than 300,000 scans, where he observed how some people biologically age far faster than their chronological age while others maintain remarkably youthful brains and bodies. Together, they discuss the HPA axis, cortisol, fertility, circadian rhythms, posture, mitochondrial health, multitasking, and the importance of aligning with our “primal design” to support long-term wellbeing. We’ll explore: ✔️ How survival mode impacts hormones, fertility, and overall health ✔️ Why sleep, posture, movement, and circadian rhythm matter more than most people realize ✔️ The connection between cortisol, mitochondrial health, and energy production ✔️ How modern habits like multitasking and constant technology use stress the brain and body ✔️ Why women may be especially sensitive to environmental and emotional stressors ✔️ Practical ways to create more safety signals for the body in everyday life If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or stuck in chronic stress, this episode offers a powerful perspective on how modern life may be affecting your health and what you can do to reconnect with the way your body was designed to function.

    Why Your Antioxidant Defenses Decline — and How to Fight Back with Francois Vix

    Most people have never heard of superoxide dismutase, even though it plays a critical role in how the body handles stress at a cellular level. That gap in understanding leaves a lot of people focused on surface-level health while missing what is actually driving aging, inflammation, and recovery behind the scenes. In this episode, I sit down with François Vix, President and CEO of GliSODin, who brings over 20 years of experience in the beauty and health industry, including work with brands like L’Oréal, Lancôme, and Neutrogena. We break down what oxidative stress really is and why it matters more than most people realize. We talk through how the body produces energy and the damage that can come with it, why recovery slows down over time, and how this connects to things like skin health, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. We also get into the role of superoxide dismutase, how it supports cellular balance, and why supporting your body internally can change how you feel and function day to day. We’ll explore: ✔️ What oxidative stress is and how it impacts your cells ✔️ Why the body needs superoxide dismutase to stay alive ✔️ How free radicals contribute to aging and inflammation ✔️ Why recovery becomes more difficult as you get older ✔️ The connection between internal health, skin, and overall function If you want to better understand what is happening inside your body and how to support it long term, this episode gives you a clearer picture. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how your body handles stress and what actually influences how you feel over time.

    Can AI Predict Your Ovarian Age? With Timeless Biotech CEO Kiran Kumar

    Many women move through life focused on symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or weight changes without realizing there may be a deeper pattern driving them. Conversations around hormones often center on fertility or menopause timing, leaving out the bigger picture of how ovarian health influences nearly every system in the body. This gap can make it harder to connect the dots between what you feel day to day and what may actually be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Kiran Kumar to explore the role of ovarian health in overall longevity and why it matters far beyond reproduction. They discuss how new advancements in AI and machine learning are making it possible to predict ovarian age and menopause timing, what drives ovarian aging, and why this directly impacts long-term risks like cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and metabolic health. They also break down how lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, inflammation, and metabolic function influence this process helping women better understand their bodies and make more informed decisions about their health. We’ll explore: ✔️ Why ovarian health is considered a vital sign for overall wellbeing ✔️ How ovarian aging impacts heart, brain, bone, and metabolic health ✔️ The key drivers of accelerated ovarian aging, including stress, sleep, and inflammation ✔️ How new testing can predict ovarian age and menopause timing using multiple biomarkers ✔️ Why common longevity strategies may not always work the same way for women If you’ve been trying to make sense of changing symptoms or want a clearer understanding of how your body is aging, this episode offers insight and perspective. You’ll leave with a deeper awareness of what influences your health over time and how to better support it moving forward. 00:06 Ovarian health 02:40 Kiran’s story 05:39 Ovarian lifespan 08:21 Menopause 09:27 Hormone therapy 11:29 Fertility 14:23 Maintain Natural Hormone Function 15:21 Cancer Survivorship & Ovarian Health 18:23 Metabolic health 20:11 Types of stress 25:26 Muscle, bone, and frailty risk 26:46 Movements for bone health 28:03 Cognitive health 29:12 Menopause age 35:12 Hormone testing 43:08 Longevity advice is often not designed for women 54:13 Personalized health vs averages 55:22 Where to find Kiran Kiran’s Website: https://timelessbiotech.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timelessbiotech/ 🎧 Hit Subscribe or Follow so you never miss an episode.

    Why Women Leak — and the Surprising Movement That Can Help Fix It” with Jennifer Sobel

    Many women quietly deal with bladder leakage, often believing it is just part of aging, postpartum changes, or something they have to live with. Because it feels embarrassing or “normal,” many never bring it up, even with their doctor, leaving them without real solutions or support. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Jennifer Sobel to explore a different and often overlooked approach to urinary incontinence. Jennifer shares how she discovered that belly dancing, something she had been teaching for years, could naturally support pelvic floor strength and function. Together, they discuss why common solutions like Kegels are not always effective, how pelvic floor imbalance plays a role, and why movement, awareness, and consistency can make a meaningful difference. We’ll explore: ✔️ Why urinary incontinence is common but not something you have to accept  ✔️ How pelvic floor imbalance can contribute to bladder leakage  ✔️ Why Kegels alone may not be the solution for many women  ✔️ How belly dancing supports both strength and relaxation in the pelvic floor  ✔️ Simple ways to start improving pelvic floor health with consistency If you have ever felt limited by bladder leakage or assumed nothing could change, this episode offers a new perspective and practical options to support your body and restore confidence. 00:06 Urinary incontinence 00:31 Jennifer Sobel’s story 02:34 Women’s lack of awareness 04:10 Common solutions 06:36 Belly dancing 10:09 Modern lifestyle impact 13:06 Tips when dealing with bladder leakage 15:58 Your body’s not broken 18:36 Where to find Jennifer Jennifer’s Website: www.thebellydancesolution.com   🎧 Hit Subscribe or Follow so you never miss an episode.

    The Gap In Chronic Illness Healing No One Talks About (Until Now) with Elizabeth Mays

    Many people navigating chronic illness reach a point where they feel dismissed, misunderstood, or stuck between conflicting answers. Being told everything looks “normal” while your body is clearly struggling can create doubt, frustration, and a deep need for validation. At the same time, receiving multiple diagnoses and protocols can quickly become overwhelming, leaving many unsure of what to focus on or where to begin. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Elizabeth Mays to explore the chronic illness journey from a different perspective. Elizabeth shares her experience of going from being bedridden with over 100 symptoms to rebuilding her life, and how shifting her nervous system and identity became key turning points in her healing. They discuss why traditional approaches can sometimes fall short, how overwhelm can block progress, and why reconnecting with the body plays a critical role in moving forward. We’ll explore: ✔️ Why chronic illness can feel confusing, overwhelming, and difficult to navigate ✔️ How nervous system regulation impacts the body’s ability to heal ✔️ The role of identity and how over-identifying with diagnoses can keep you stuck ✔️ Why healing often requires more than just protocols, testing, or external solutions ✔️ How tools like breathwork can support the body in creating real change If you’ve been searching for answers, feeling stuck in your healing journey, or trying to make sense of conflicting information, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful perspective.

    “The Hidden Hormone Effects of Poor Sleep (And How to Fix It)” with Robin Nielsen

    Sleep often gets pushed aside, but it plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize. In this episode, Dr. Miranda sits down with integrative nutritionist Robin Nielsen, a Women's Hormone Coach, to break down how sleep impacts hormones, metabolism, energy, and long-term health, especially for women. They talk about how even small amounts of sleep deprivation can increase inflammation, disrupt hunger hormones, slow metabolism, and affect your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar. Robin also explains why cortisol and insulin are the foundation of hormone balance, and how poor sleep can throw everything off, including your sex hormones. The conversation also dives into practical ways to improve your sleep and circadian rhythm, from how you eat throughout the day to light exposure, morning routines, and creating a better nighttime environment. They also unpack the real impact of caffeine and alcohol on sleep quality, and why these habits may be keeping you stuck in a cycle of feeling tired but wired. We’ll explore: ✔️ How sleep affects inflammation, weight, and hunger hormones ✔️ The connection between cortisol, insulin, and hormone balance ✔️ Why sex hormones are not the place to start when fixing imbalances ✔️ Simple ways to support your circadian rhythm naturally ✔️ The role of food timing and blood sugar in better sleep ✔️ How caffeine and alcohol disrupt sleep more than you think If you’ve been feeling tired, wired, or struggling with hormone-related symptoms, this episode will help you understand what your body needs and how to start supporting it in a more effective way.
