    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

    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.

    87: Could it be lichen sclerosis?

    Have you ever dealt with constant itching, burning, or irritation “down there” and just assumed it was another yeast infection or a normal part of menopause?  What if it’s something else entirely — something most women have never even heard of? In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch sheds light on Lichen Sclerosis, a chronic inflammatory condition that often goes undiagnosed for years. She explains what it is, how it shows up, and why early diagnosis is so important to protect your comfort, confidence, and long-term health. You’ll learn how to tell it apart from other common conditions, what treatments actually work, and how to advocate for yourself when something doesn’t feel right. You’ll also discover gentle, practical ways to care for your intimate health — helping you restore comfort, confidence, and that sense of feeling like yourself again.
