    EP 83: Don’t Suffer in Silence — Menopause & Hormonal Health with Dr. Jenn Roelands

    On this episode of ChamberTalk, Dr. Jenn Roelands MD, a double board-certified OBGYN turned integrative women’s health physician, shares how a nontraditional path and stubborn curiosity led her to challenge medicine’s blind spots. Raised in a family where women weren’t expected to pursue careers, she found her calling first in delivering babies and later in solving the overlooked mysteries of perimenopause and hormonal health. Through vivid patient stories, Dr. Jenn highlights the reality faced by countless women: being told they’re “normal” by lab results while quietly losing sleep, focus, relationships, and momentum at work. She reveals how reactive, checkbox-style care leaves too many behind. In this conversation, she debunks common myths about hormone therapy, explains why prevention matters, and explores the critical roles of nutrition, genetics, sleep, and lifestyle. Most importantly, she shows how small, targeted interventions can protect brain health, bone density, and long-term career performance. This episode is both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Learn how to recognize the perimenopause roller coaster, separate fear from fact, and take practical steps toward a longer, healthier health span. Don’t accept feeling “off” as your normal, find the right partner in care and reclaim your life.

    EP 82: The Ripple Effect of Showing Up: How Cypress College Changes Lives

    Join Andrew Gregson as he sits down with Howard Kummerman, the compassionate force behind the Cypress College Foundation, to explore how a tight-knit campus community keeps students in the classroom and changes lives. Through candid stories, Howard shares the journey of a former Cypress College student in his 30s who was living in his car while attending classes, a student who, with the right support, went on to transfer to Stanford, alongside the story of a beloved professor whose lasting legacy brought hundreds together to celebrate her life. Together, these moments illustrate how small acts of care can create life-changing outcomes. Howard also walks listeners through the traditions and fundraising efforts that sustain the college, including the Americana Awards, alumni engagement, and scholarship programs that thoughtfully connect students with donors. Along the way, he reveals the deeply human side of philanthropy: donors who once needed help themselves, committed board members, and dedicated staff quietly working behind the scenes to hold the campus together. It’s a hopeful, human story about education, community, and the powerful ripple effects of giving back.

    EP 80: From Courtroom to Capitol: Lisa Ramirez’s Fight for Families in CA-40

    On a stormy morning in Orange County, immigration attorney Lisa D. Ramirez recounts the moment she could no longer stand on the sidelines: the day enforcement swept through Santa Ana and she felt the law and people’s lives slipping away. For 25 years she has stood beside asylum seekers, trafficking survivors, veterans and families, and that work becomes the heartbeat of her campaign for California’s 40th District. This episode follows Lisa from an eye-opening exchange student summer in Italy to a nonprofit fellowship that redirected her toward immigration law, and then into the courtroom and the community where she’s fought for due process, DACA youth, and a Marine’s family caught in the immigration system. Through candid stories of clients, the strain on small businesses, and a vision for affordable healthcare and housing, listeners are invited into a personal and pragmatic case for public service, one driven by compassion, urgency and the belief that government should work for people, not politics.
