    Tamsen Fadal on the Menopause Symptoms Women Aren’t Warned About: Brain Fog, HRT, and Reclaiming Midlife

    Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ Tamsen Fadal was an experienced news anchor when heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fog left her on the bathroom floor of her newsroom. Despite spending decades in the media, she had no idea she was experiencing menopause. In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Tamsen shares how that frightening experience led her to investigate why so many women remain unprepared for perimenopause and menopause. Tamsen reflects on losing her mother to breast cancer and later realizing that her mother had experienced medical menopause following chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. Nearly 28 years separated their experiences, yet both women suffered without the information or support they needed. That realization inspired Tamsen to step away from a three-decade career in television journalism and devote her work to menopause education and advocacy. She explains how social media revealed the scale of the problem and gave women a place to share symptoms and experiences that had been ignored or dismissed. Dr. Taz and Tamsen also discuss the confusion surrounding hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized care, barriers to finding informed doctors, and the role telehealth may play in improving access. They explore how brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, and other symptoms can affect women’s confidence, careers, relationships, and sense of identity. Tamsen also shares the story behind The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. After being told there was no audience for a menopause documentary, Tamsen and her partners self-funded the project, brought together leading experts and women’s personal stories, and ultimately secured national distribution through PBS. The conversation turns toward reclaiming menopause as a powerful stage of life rather than a period of invisibility or decline. Tamsen discusses her book, How to Menopause, and the practical lifestyle changes that have helped her take better care of herself at 54. In this episode: Tamsen’s frightening menopause experience in the newsroomHeart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fogWhy she did not recognize her symptoms as menopauseHer mother’s experience with medically induced menopauseWhy menopause care has changed so little across generationsLeaving a three-decade journalism career for women’s advocacyThe fear and financial uncertainty of making a major midlife changeHow social media helped women begin sharing their experiencesCreating The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on MenopauseBeing told there was no audience for a menopause documentaryWhy hormone replacement therapy remains confusingThe need for personalized menopause treatmentWhat to do when a doctor dismisses or minimizes your symptomsImproving menopause research, education, and access to careHow menopause symptoms affect women in the workplaceReframing menopause as a powerful new stage of lifeThe sleep, exercise, protein, stress, and alcohol changes helping Tamsen at 54About Tamsen Fadal: Tamsen Fadal is a 13-time Emmy-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, podcaster, and menopause advocate. After more than three decades as a television journalist and news anchor, she shifted her work toward helping women understand perimenopause, menopause, and life beyond midlife. Tamsen is the author of How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before. She is also a co-producer and executive producer of The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, a documentary exploring the medical, emotional, social, and workplace effects of menopause.

    Why Women Shouldn’t Work Out Fasted: Cycle Syncing, Blood Sugar, and Hormones with Alisa Vitti

    Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if the fasting, workouts, and eating patterns that are supposed to improve your metabolism are actually working against your hormones? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, women’s hormone expert Alisa Vitti explains why women in their reproductive years have a second biological clock that most health and fitness advice completely ignores. Known as the infradian rhythm, this approximately month-long cycle affects metabolism, cortisol, immune function, brain activity, energy, appetite, and exercise performance. Alisa breaks down the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phases and explains how nutritional needs, metabolism, and stress tolerance change throughout the cycle. She shares how the Cycle Syncing Method can help women adjust their food, exercise, recovery, and daily routines to better support these biological changes. Dr. Taz and Alisa also challenge some of the most popular advice given to women about intermittent fasting and fasted exercise. Alisa explains why she believes women should fuel before working out, why glucose is needed to build lean muscle, and how combining carbohydrates with protein and fat may support blood sugar stability and workout performance. Alisa shares her personal experience with PCOS, maintaining a significant weight loss, losing additional body fat by eating more, and intentionally building muscle as she approaches 48. She explains why blood sugar regulation is the first step she recommends for women experiencing PMS, PCOS, infertility, fibroids, perimenopause, or other hormonal concerns. The conversation also explores progesterone, estrogen dominance, cortisol, HRT, ovarian aging, hot flashes, strength training, environmental exposures, and the habits that may help women protect their hormonal health throughout every stage of life. In this episode: Why women have both circadian and infradian biological rhythmsHow the menstrual cycle affects metabolism, cortisol, immunity, and the brainWhat happens during the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phasesWhy women may need more calories during the luteal phaseHow blood sugar instability may affect cortisol and progesteroneWhy Alisa says women should never work out in a fasted stateWhat to eat before strength training to support lean muscleHow Alisa structures protein, carbohydrates, and meal timing throughout her dayWhy strength training is important during every phase of the cycleHow to modify cardio and recovery throughout the menstrual cycleWhy eating more helped Alisa lose additional body fat and build muscleThe relationship between blood sugar, PCOS, PMS, and perimenopauseHow fasting recommendations may change after menopauseWhere HRT fits into a broader hormone-support strategySimple habits that may support healthier hormonal agingWhether ovarian aging can be slowed or partially reversedAbout Alisa Vitti: Alisa Vitti is a women’s hormone and functional nutrition expert, bestselling author, and creator of the Cycle Syncing Method. She is the founder of FLO Living and creator of the MyFLO app, which helps women adjust their nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle practices to the different phases of their menstrual cycle. After experiencing PCOS, weight challenges, acne, and an absent menstrual cycle in her teens and early twenties, Alisa began studying nutrition, functional endocrinology, and women’s hormonal health. Her experience became the foundation for FLO Living and her bestselling books, WomanCode and In the FLO.

    Dr. Zach Bush: How the Microbiome Affects Metabolism, Brain Health, and Chronic Disease

    Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if chronic disease, declining energy, cognitive issues, and fertility challenges are not isolated problems, but signs of a deeper disconnection from the natural world? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Dr. Zach Bush explores the relationship between human health and the health of our environment. Drawing from his background in internal medicine, endocrinology, cancer research, and hospice care, he explains how his search for the root causes of disease led him from the hospital and laboratory to the microbiome, soil science, and regenerative agriculture. Dr. Bush describes mitochondria as essential generators of cellular energy and explains how the microbes living within and around us help support metabolism, immunity, neurological function, and communication throughout the body. He shares his perspective on how chemical agriculture, declining biodiversity, and changes in our food systems may be affecting these biological relationships. Dr. Taz and Dr. Bush also discuss the rise of obesity, insulin resistance, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Dr. Bush presents his theory that these conditions may be connected through a broader decline in metabolic energy and our increasing separation from nature. The conversation ultimately turns toward hope and practical action. Dr. Bush explains why restoring soil, supporting regenerative farmers, growing food, strengthening local communities, and spending more time in direct contact with nature may help rebuild both human and planetary health. He also shares how something as simple as growing a mint plant can begin restoring a family’s relationship with living food. In this episode: Dr. Bush’s journey from conventional medicine to microbiome and soil researchWhat mitochondria do and why they are essential for cellular energyHow the microbiome influences metabolism, immunity, and brain functionThe relationship between soil health, food quality, and human healthHow chemical agriculture may disrupt biological communicationWhy Dr. Bush describes modern illness as nature deficit disorderHis theory connecting metabolic decline with chronic disease and fertilityWhy supplements cannot fully replace a healthy food systemHow regenerative agriculture can support human and planetary healthSimple ways to reconnect your family with food, soil, and natureWhy community and human connection may be essential parts of healingAbout Dr. Zach Bush: Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, and hospice and palliative care. His work has focused on the relationships between the microbiome, human health, environmental health, food systems, and regenerative agriculture. After years of working in conventional medicine and biomedical research, Dr. Bush began exploring how soil health, biodiversity, and chemical exposure may influence human metabolism and chronic disease. His work helped give rise to Project Biome and Farmer’s Footprint, initiatives focused on regenerative food systems and restoring the relationship between human and planetary health.

More than 20 years later, her tumors remain stable and her work has helped people around the world take a more active, compassionate role in their health. In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Kris shares how she moved from fear and uncertainty toward self-trust, acceptance, and a whole-person definition of healing. She explains what it meant to become the CEO of her health, find doctors she trusted, explore integrative care, and change her relationship with food and her body. But Kris’s biggest turning point came about 10 years into her journey. Despite good scans and a thriving career, she realized she still felt like a failure because she had not made cancer disappear. That moment led her to distinguish between curing and healing, and to begin caring for her mind and emotional life as intentionally as she cared for her physical body. Kris and Dr. Taz discuss grief, fear, anger, trauma, perimenopause, gut health, stress, supplement overwhelm, and the five foundational wellness pillars that can make healthy living feel more practical and accessible.

    How Grief Affects the Body: Physical Symptoms, the 6 Stages of Grief, and Finding Meaning After Loss with David Kessler

    Can grief cause physical symptoms? Learn how loss may affect cortisol, inflammation, hormone balance, heart health, sleep, energy, and the nervous system. Grief is not only an emotional experience. It can affect the brain and body, yet many people feel pressured to stay strong, move on, or process their loss alone. In this episode, grief expert David Kessler explains what grief does to us physically and emotionally, why grief must be witnessed, and how meaningful healing can begin. We explore the five stages of grief, why they are not linear, and the misconceptions surrounding denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. David also shares how losing his 21-year-old son led him to identify meaning as the sixth stage of grief and explains why meaning is not found in the tragedy itself, but in what we choose to do afterward. David and Dr. Taz discuss the physical symptoms of grief, broken heart syndrome, post-traumatic growth, isolation, grief in men, and what to say when someone you love is grieving. They also explain why grief can result from divorce, betrayal, job loss, illness, lost identity, or the loss of the future you expected, not only the death of a loved one. This conversation is for educational purposes and should not replace individualized medical or mental health care. Chest pain and other concerning physical symptoms should always be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.

    Breast Cancer Surgeon Reveals the Truth About Mammograms, Metabolic Health, Toxic Overload and Cancer Treatment | Dr. Jenn Simmons

    https://holplus.co/appointments Are we over-treating breast cancer? Learn why metabolic dysfunction may be the real driver behind many diagnoses and how to rethink treatment. Approximately 20 to 30 percent of screen detected breast cancer cases are treated unnecessarily. This video challenges the current standard of breast cancer treatment by focusing on the underlying metabolic health factors that often go unaddressed. If you are concerned about the current approach to screening or are looking for a more preventative perspective, this discussion provides a critical look at how we diagnose and manage the disease. We break down the three major drivers that contribute to long-standing metabolic dysfunction. By identifying these root causes, we can move toward a more accurate breast cancer diagnosis and more effective, targeted strategies for long-term health. Subscribe for weekly health and metabolic disease breakdowns, and comment below with your thoughts on these new findings.

Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention. Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.
