Dr. Marina shares why declining fertility rates are a global concern and how environmental toxins, stress, sleep, nutrition, and exercise all play a critical role in reproductive health—for both women and men.

"Men's sperm counts have decreased by over 50% in two generations." "If you improve your health, there's no losing out—and you will improve your fertility." Bio: Dr. Marina is an experienced OBGYN and dedicated educator with over 30 years of experience in women's health and fertility.

    The Morning Non-Negotiables That Separate Successful Women

    If morning routines actually worked the way Instagram says they do, every woman with a matcha and a journal would be wildly successful.In this episode of In Her Era, I'm dismantling the romanticised, unrealistic idea of morning routines and replacing it with something that actually works: science-backed habits that prime your brain, biology, and energy for execution.This isn’t about waking up at 4am, ice baths, or a 12-step wellness checklist. It’s about reducing decision fatigue, stabilising energy, protecting focus, and setting your nervous system up to win the day — consistently.I break down the needle-moving morning habits that take less than 30 minutes, why they work from a neuroscience and biological perspective, and how to adapt them to your life — whether you’re single, busy, a mother, building a business, or all of the above.I also walk you through my own minimalist morning routine — not because you need to copy it, but to show how powerful simplicity becomes when habits are intentional.If you want 2026 to be your most focused, energised, and successful year yet — this episode is one you'll want to dive into.Because your morning doesn’t need to be aesthetic.It needs to make your life easier, your brain sharper, and your goals more inevitable. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTSFREE 1:1 Foundational Health Review (Limited Time offer - 10 women only) - Secure your Spot ⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOWPlease Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    EP345: Better Sleep Starts Under Your Nose: Myofunctional Therapy & Breathing

    In this episode, Cathy Sykora sits down with Karese Laguerre, a Registered Dental Hygienist and Myofunctional Therapist, to explore how the way we breathe—and where our tongue rests—can deeply influence our sleep, anxiety, digestion, and overall health. Karese shares how myofunctional therapy strengthens the muscles between the eyes and shoulders to promote better breathing and restorative sleep. They discuss the surprising signs of poor breathing, such as chronic anxiety and fatigue, and dive into simple, actionable tips like nasal hygiene routines and using nasal strips. Karese also breaks down the role of the vagus nerve, why nasal breathing is superior to mouth breathing, and how sleep quality is far more important than sleep quantity. In this episode, you'll discover: What myofunctional therapy is and how it transforms breathing and sleep How to identify if you're breathing incorrectly and why it matters Why nasal hygiene should be part of your daily routine The science behind nasal vs. mouth breathing—and why it affects sleep and immunity How your tongue's resting position impacts vagus nerve stimulation and breathing The truth about sleep duration vs. sleep quality How myofunctional therapy can help with TMJ, tongue ties, and more Memorable Quotes: "Breathing is the most critical thing to our life...who of us can go more than a few minutes without air?" "What feels like sleep is really just rest—not necessarily restoration of all your bodily functions and cognition." "Most people don't even know where their tongue is supposed to rest—and that's the start of the problem." Bio: Karese Laguerre is a Registered Dental Hygienist and Myofunctional Therapist. She founded The Myo Spot, a practice dedicated to amplifying oral wellness into whole-body wellness through virtual therapy. Karese helps clients of all ages with issues like tongue ties, TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, anxiety, and breathing dysfunction.

    Why Your Vision Board Doesn't Work Without This

    January motivation alone won’t carry you to December success. And it's why most women won't achieve their goals.In this episode of In Her Era, I’m breaking down the exact goal-setting framework I use to actually follow through - one that’s been built from years of iteration, high-performance strategy, and neuroscience-backed behaviour change.Because goals don’t fall apart due to a lack of desire.They fall apart because there’s no structure underneath them.This episode walks you through my 3-step goal projection process - from categorising your life into clear buckets, to choosing focused priorities for the year, to breaking big goals into micro-actions that actually fit into real life.You’ll learn how to stop spreading yourself thin, stop relying on willpower, and start building habits, routines, and environments that support the woman you’re becoming — even when motivation drops or life gets busy.This is the first episode in a New Year series designed to help you build a high-performing year from the inside out - not by doing more, but by creating the systems that will sustain you to achieve those goals.If you’re ready for 2026 to be the year you stop starting over… this episode sets the foundation. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTSFollow Monique at @itsmoniquetookWatch FULLY CHARGED - watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!
