    Ghost Periods: Can You Still Feel Like You’re Getting a Period After Menopause?

    Send us Fan Mail You haven’t had a period in years. Then suddenly, your body does something that feels strangely familiar. Cramping. Bloating. Breast tenderness. Mood changes. Maybe even that unmistakable sense that your period is about to start. But you’re postmenopausal. So… what is going on? In this episode, I’m talking about something women often call a “ghost period” — a phrase that sounds almost too perfect for the experience, even though it isn’t a formal medical diagnosis. I’ll share what happened to me, what we actually know about hormonal symptoms after menopause, what researchers have and haven’t established, and why it matters to separate a relatable experience from a scientifically proven phenomenon. Because sometimes the most interesting health questions begin with, “Has this ever happened to you?” And this one may leave you wondering how much we still have to learn about the postmenopausal body. 🎧 Listen to Ghost Periods: Can You Still Feel Like You’re Getting a Period After Menopause? wherever you get your podcasts.

    Cannabis for Sleep: Does It Really Work?

    Send us Fan Mail THC gummies. CBD oils. Cannabis sleep products. They're everywhere, and the promises sound irresistible: fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and finally wake up feeling rested. But here's a question nobody seems to be asking: Does feeling sleepy actually mean you're getting better sleep? A newly published scientific review examined cannabis as a treatment for insomnia, and the findings may surprise you. In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, I'm taking a closer look at what the research really tells us, and why the answer to better sleep may have less to do with what you're taking and more to do with what's keeping you awake. Are you struggling to fall asleep? Waking up at 3 a.m.? Opening your eyes long before the alarm? Or sleeping all night and still feeling exhausted? Those aren't necessarily the same sleep problem. And they don't always have the same solution. We'll explore the difference between sedation and restorative sleep, what scientists actually know about cannabis, and how to identify the sleep problem you may have been trying to solve all along. Because before you reach for another sleep remedy, there's one question worth asking: What if you've been treating the symptom without understanding the cause? If you're tired of being tired, this conversation could change the way you think about sleep. Thank you for listening to this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body!

    Is This Going to Happen to Me Too?

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever watched your mom or dad struggle and quietly wondered, “Is that going to be me?” Maybe it’s the diabetes that runs through your family. Your father’s heart attack. Your mother’s memory slipping, or the way she’s started shuffling when she walks. And somewhere between worrying about them, you start worrying about you. In this deeply personal episode, Kim shares the moment she noticed a change in her own mother’s gait, caught herself on video, and had to decide whether she was looking at her future or at an opportunity. What she discovered is the difference that changes everything: your family history is information, not a prediction. Drawing on research from the Diabetes Prevention Program, the American Heart Association, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and the 2024 Lancet Commission on dementia, Kim walks you through what you can and can’t influence when it comes to the conditions that scare us most. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your family history should be used as a flashlight, not a fortune tellerHow lifestyle changes reduced type 2 diabetes risk by 71% in adults over 60, and why this isn’t just about weightThe eight measures of heart health you can actually track and influenceWhat the research says about fall prevention, bone density screening, and dementia riskWhy you can inherit a risk without inheriting your family’s “script”Kim’s simple four-step process for responding to family health history without fearHow to keep prevention from becoming a full-time job (and why 11:30 p.m. Googling isn’t a strategy)Permission to stop studying your aging parent and simply be their daughterIf you’re caring for an aging parent, grieving one, or quietly carrying the fear that their story is waiting for you, this episode is for you. Your challenge after listening: Pick the one family health issue that worries you most. Then ask: What part of this can I influence today?

    Can 15 Weeks Really Build Muscle After Menopause?

    Send us Fan Mail What if some of the strength loss you’ve accepted as “just getting older” isn’t quite that simple? In this short episode, I’m looking at a 2026 study that followed postmenopausal women through 15 weeks of resistance training and measured what actually changed inside their muscles. The results were encouraging—but not in the oversimplified, “strength training fixes everything” kind of way. I’ll walk you through who was studied, what improved, what didn’t, and why that distinction matters if you’re trying to make smart decisions about your body after menopause. More importantly, I want you to leave with a better question than, “Am I too old to change?” Because sometimes the real question is: Have I given my body a reason to adapt? If you’ve ever quietly assumed that weakness, muscle loss, or physical decline is simply inevitable, this 5-minute Evidence Check may change the way you think about what’s still possible. Listen now—and find out what the study actually found.    Thank you for listening to this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body!

    Do You Really Want to Live to 100?

    Send us Fan Mail What would have to be true for you to actually want to live to 100? In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, I’m looking beyond lifespan and asking what makes a long life worth living in the first place. Because the goal isn’t simply more birthdays. It’s more years in which you can still participate in your own life. To move through the world on your own terms. To think clearly. To make decisions. To stay connected to people you love. To laugh, learn, travel, cook, read, contribute, and still wake up curious about what the day might hold. We’ll talk about the growing obsession with longevity, the difference between lifespan and healthspan, and why strength, independence, relationships, purpose, and curiosity may deserve just as much attention as your biological age or the latest longevity metric. This episode might change the way you think about aging well. Instead of asking, “How long can I live?” Maybe the better question is: “What kind of life am I trying to extend?” Thank you for listening to this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body!

    The Train of Life

    Send us Fan Mail Some people ride with us for decades. Some are only beside us for a few stops. Some leave before we are ready. And every once in a while, someone gets on the train who changes the entire journey. In this episode, I’m talking about one of the most beautiful metaphors I’ve ever heard for life: the idea that we are all passengers on a train, moving through different stations, sharing the ride with people we love, lose, remember, and sometimes haven’t even met yet. But here’s the part I keep thinking about: we can spend so much time looking at the empty seats—the people who left, the relationships that changed, the chapters that ended—that we forget to notice who is sitting beside us right now. This episode is about love, friendship, family, loss, change, and the people who shape our lives simply by sharing part of the journey with us. It’s also a reminder that a relationship doesn’t have to last forever to have mattered deeply. Maybe the question isn’t, “Who stayed?” Maybe it’s, “Did I appreciate them while they were here?” And perhaps most importantly, there are still stations ahead. There are conversations you haven’t had, people you haven’t met, places you haven’t seen, and moments that haven’t happened yet. So pull up a seat. This is one of those episodes that might make you think differently about the people you love—and about the ride you’re on right now.

    Menopause Is Over. Now What?

    Send us Fan Mail Post-menopause can be one of the longest stages of your adult life, yet it’s often treated like an afterthought. We spend years talking about getting through perimenopause and menopause, but what happens when menopause is actually over? In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, I’m talking about what it means to live on the other side of menopause and why my priorities have changed. This isn’t about fearing aging or trying to get your younger body back. It’s about understanding what your body needs now so you can keep doing the things you love for decades to come. We’ll talk about protecting muscle and bone, heart and brain health, changes in body composition, sleep, lingering menopause symptoms, exercise, hormone therapy—and why taking care of yourself now is about so much more than living longer. For me, the biggest shift has been this: I don’t want health to become my life. I want my health to help me live my life. I’m proud to have made it to post-menopause. My body has changed. My priorities have changed. And I’m not interested in spending the next several decades mourning what used to be. Menopause is over. So now what? Now we live.

    THE BATTER’S BOX - When You Realize You’re Next in the Lineup

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you suddenly realize there aren’t as many people ahead of you anymore? Parents, grandparents, older relatives, mentors, friends, the people who once seemed to form a whole generation in front of us begin to disappear. And somewhere along the way, we become the ones younger people look to for the stories, the traditions, the perspective…and the example. In this deeply personal episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, I explore that strange shift in the lineup of life—not from a place of fear, but from a place of clarity. What do we want to remember? What deserves to be passed on? And are the things we say matter most actually visible in the way we’re living now? This isn’t an episode about racing against the clock. It’s about understanding where you are, recognizing what you’ve inherited, and deciding what you want to carry forward. Because one day you realize: you’re not waiting for your turn anymore. You’re in it. Thank you for listening to this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body! If today’s conversation inspired you, resonated with you, or made you think, I’d love to hear from you.
