    94: Mental health in menopause with Dr. Susan Zink

    Feeling more anxious, irritable, forgetful, or simply not quite like yourself lately? Perimenopause and menopause can affect more than your physical health.

They discuss anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, and brain fog, along with the many factors that may contribute to these symptoms and treatment options that can help, including lifestyle changes, therapy, medications, and hormone therapy. If you’ve been struggling with your mood, sleep, anxiety, or brain fog, tune in to better understand what may be happening and the support available to help you feel better.  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may benefit from this conversation. ------------------ Connect with Dr. Susan Zink: Website: ElementalIntegrativePsych.com https://www.elementalintegrativepsych.com Facebook: Elemental Integrative Psychiatry https://www.facebook.com/people/EleMental-Integrative-Psychiatry/61580364713741/ Instagram: @elemental_integrative_psych https://www.instagram.com/elemental_integrative_psych YouTube: @elemental_integrative_psych https://m.youtube.com/@elemental_integrative_psych LinkedIn: Susan Zink, MD https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanzinkmd --------------------------------------------- READY TO ENRICH YOUR MENOPAUSE JOURNEY? >  For EnRitched Gynecology practice updates and membership information, please visit:  https://enritchedgynecology.com >  Connect with Dr. Jessica Ritch for more free resources on menopause and women's health: Facebook: @enRitched https://www.facebook.com/enRitched Instagram: @enritched https://www.instagram.com/enritched TikTok: @enritched https://www.tiktok.com/@enritched >  And JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to get early access to new episodes!📩 Sign up now: 🔗 https://tinyurl.com/enritched

    93: Menopause makeover with Dr. Sanam Zahedi

    Have you looked in the mirror lately and wondered why your body suddenly feels unfamiliar — even though you're taking care of yourself the same way you always have? Menopause can bring changes that affect not only how we look, but also how we feel in our bodies and ourselves. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch sits down with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanam Zahedi to discuss what she calls the "menopause makeover" — a thoughtful, individualized approach to addressing the physical changes that often accompany perimenopause and menopause. Together, they explore the science behind hormonal shifts, collagen loss, breast changes, body composition, facial aging, and why understanding what's happening beneath the surface can help women make informed decisions about aesthetic treatments.

    90: Balance, Power, and Mobility with Kellie Williams

    Are your workouts suddenly feeling harder in your 40s? Many women in perimenopause and menopause notice more joint pain, slower recovery, and stubborn weight gain — not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because their bodies are changing. In this episode, Dr. Ritch is joined by Kellie Williams, founder of BPM Wellness, to talk about what exercise should look like for midlife women. They break down the foundations of effective training at this stage of life — from strength work that protects muscle and bone, to low-impact cardio that still boosts metabolism, to mobility and yoga that keep you flexible and injury-free. Kellie also shares why joyful, music-driven movement can improve your mood, confidence, and even brain health during perimenopause and menopause. 🎧 Tune in and share this episode with a friend who’s ready to feel stronger, more energized, and more confident through perimenopause and menopause. --------- Connect with Kellie Williams: Website: BPM Wellness https://www.bpm-wellness.com Facebook: @bpmwellness https://www.facebook.com/bpmwellness Instagram: @bpmwellness https://www.instagram.com/bpmwellness --------------------------------------------- READY TO ENRICH YOUR MENOPAUSE JOURNEY? >  For EnRitched Gynecology practice updates and membership information, please visit:  https://enritchedgynecology.com >  Connect with Dr. Jessica Ritch for more free resources on menopause and women's health: Facebook: @enRitched https://www.facebook.com/enRitched Instagram: @enritched https://www.instagram.com/enritched TikTok: @enritched https://www.tiktok.com/@enritched >  And JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to get early access to new episodes!📩 Sign up now: 🔗 https://tinyurl.com/enritched

    89: Comprehensive health with Dr. Stella Villacorta

    Are you in your 40s and starting to wonder whether your “annual check-up” is really enough? Many women in perimenopause and menopause focus on caring for everyone else — and only seek medical care when something goes wrong. But this stage of life is when prevention matters most: hormones shift, metabolism slows, and risks for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer begin to rise. In this episode, we break down what a true comprehensive health evaluation should look like for midlife women — from cardiovascular and metabolic screening to cancer prevention, genetic risks, lifestyle habits, and emotional wellbeing. We’re joined by Dr. Stella Villacorta, a board-certified internal medicine physician and concierge doctor whose personal experience with breast cancer shaped her passion for proactive, personalized care. She shares practical, actionable steps every woman can start today. ---------------------- Enjoyed the episode?

    88: Navigating puberty and perimenopause with Dr. Jennyfer Uzor

    Ever feel like your household has two sets of hormones competing for attention? Between the hot flashes of perimenopause and the mood swings of puberty, it can feel like an emotional tug-of-war for many moms and kids. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch explores how to manage this dual hormonal transition with compassion and understanding. Joined by board-certified pediatrician Dr. Jennyfer Uzor, founder of Allegra Family Pediatrics, they dive into what’s really happening in your child’s body and brain during puberty — and how those changes can mirror the emotional shifts of menopause and perimenopause. If you’re parenting a tween or teen while going through menopause yourself, this conversation will help you navigate both transitions with more patience, connection, and confidence. It’s a must-listen for every mom navigating the ups and downs of hormones — hers and her child’s. 💛 If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another mom or friend who might need to hear it today.
