    e14 why is there protein in my lemonade/am I breaking up with alcohol?

    We are joined in the Rage Studios this week by Brandee Hommerding, Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and Owner of Bee Collective Wellness. Brandee was kind enough to answer our two most burning questions around nutrition and perimenopause: what's the big fat deal with protein, and why is drinking alcohol coming at such a higher cost at this age? It was a treat to learn from her - her no-b******t approach to health, wellness and being a woman was refreshing and a delight! You can learn even more from this maven on her podcast, Healthy Buzz, and her blog (listed in links!).

    e13 cutting through the b******t

    In our final episode of our 4-part series featuring the best physicians and clinicians in menopause care, we get into it with the Gold Standard gals of Menopause Care—OB/GYNs and hosts of the incredible podcast, Ovary Active -  Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch. This is a real Master Class in nuance of perimenopause care. The Doctors share their collective wisdom regarding birth control vs Menopausal Hormone Therapy, and we also discuss why the magical claims around Hormone Therapy and Longevity may be misleading (or just untrue). Learn what hormones really CAN do for you and what they really CAN'T. There's a lot of noise out there in the "MENOsphere",  and these ladies are here to decode what's real information and what's just wishful thinking.   Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su is a boad certified OB/GYN and Chief Medical Officer at Gennev as well as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner - https://gennev.com/clinician/dr-rebecca-dunsmoor-su/ Dr. Amy Voedisch is a board certified OB/GYN - https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/amy-voedisch  https://open.spotify.com/show/1bgNSzkSb0E7N7deu3NEhi?si=980a4c520ef348b8

    e10 reconnecting the head to the body (in perimenopause)

    This special episode kicks off our 4-PART SERIES where we speak with top menopause physicians and clinicians. We will take a deeper dive into the nuts and bolts of all things perimenopause, aiming to separate internet noise from data-backed science and everything in between.  For the first episode in this series, we welcome the International Celebrity Menopause Whisperer herself, Dr. Lakeischa McMillan. Dr. Lakeischa walks us through the mind-body connection via her own personal journey to discuss why hormone fluctuations may contribute to burnout, AND VICE VERSA. Coming from a whole-body approach, she educates us on why the "Art of Medicine" is just that. External stressors, body chemistry, and perimenopause affect every system in your body. Speaking candidly through the lens of her own lived experience, she's here to help us understand that balance, and she does a beautiful job helping us understand this balance. https://keap.page/ns833/integrative-gyn-solutions.html @drlakeischamd - Dr. LaKeischa's Insta @marriageandmenopause - Dr. LaKeischa's Marriage Podcast coming soon!

    e9 first comes love, then comes perimenopause

    Relationships & Sex, but make it perimenopause! This juicy episode dives into sex, love, relationships, and the changes in your own capacity for giving and receiving these things. We're so honored to have shared a mic with Natassja Barnes, LMHC and Certified Sex Therapist, to discuss how changes in estrogen might affect your feelings around those topics. We're covering all the juicy stuff: how relationships change over time, how they change when hormones start to fluctuate, and how the things that worked for you once upon a time are no longer doing it for you.

    TW: discussions of suicide and depression No guests in the house! On this episode, Kate and Megan discuss their personal journey updates. No experts, no doctors, no anecdotes from other women - just these ladies catching up on what's been going on. Megan discusses her PMDD diagnosis and chosen course of treatment. Kate discusses her suspicions that she has undiagnosed ADHD. The gals discuss cycle tracking, mental health, depression, and the fact that perimenopause should not be accused of being "pathologized" just because many of us today are seeking symptom relief. They'll be back with your regularly scheduled programming of quality information from real experts next week.
