Founder of DrSarahDoyle.com, creator of the 7X Method Biohacking Bootcamp, Co-Founder and principal clinician of HealWell Regenerative Institute in Miami Beach. Author of The THIN Formula and the 7X Method. “The internet is full of contradictions and misinformation. Learn biohacking from a board-certified, licensed clinician… stop listening to influencers!” Through functional medicine testing, evidence-based protocols, and lifestyle modification coaching, Dr. Doyle has developed a proven system that has helped her clients lose weight, increase energy and sex drive.

Her focus is on root-cause medicine and all-natural solutions that have NO side effects. My mission is to keep people out of hospitals and off prescription medications. What We Discuss In This Episode: Dr. Sarah Doyle emphasizes the importance of comprehensive hormone testing for women over 40—going beyond standard blood tests to include urine panels that measure hormone metabolites like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This deeper analysis helps identify imbalances more accurately, allowing for targeted, effective treatment plans. During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can trigger symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, and joint or muscle pain. Rather than relying on prescription medications, Dr. Sarah takes a natural approach, using supplements and herbs to restore balance and alleviate these symptoms. She also highlights how nutrient deficiencies and gut dysbiosis can worsen hormonal and neurological issues as women age. To combat this, she recommends a nutrient-dense diet, targeted supplementation, and resetting the gut microbiome to support overall well-being. Dr. Sarah’s signature 'Seven X Method' focuses on aligning food intake with the body’s circadian rhythms—an approach that has helped her clients improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and enhance metabolic health, all without intense exercise.   Resources from Dr. Sara Doyle: Dr. Sarah offers a 10-12 week biohacking bootcamp program that provides comprehensive support, education, and personalized guidance to help women optimize their health and prevent issues like Alzheimer's.

    LLN Episode #276: Heather Florio - How to Know the Truth About Hormone Replacement Therapy

    About Heather Florio: Heather Florio, CEO, and second-generation owner of Desert Harvest, is at the forefront of developing natural-origin, scientifically proven Super-Strength Aloe Vera (SSAV) supplements, sexual and pelvic health products that effectively support individuals dealing with interstitial cystitis and other sexual health, pelvic, bladder, and women’s health issues. Heather was named one of the top 50 Women in Wellness by Authority Magazine and was featured in Forbes magazine in 2022 as a top woman in business. For nearly thirty years, Desert Harvest has been an advocate for change in women’s healthcare through medical research and product innovation. Heather’s expertise and passion are rooted in helping to educate and develop solutions for these chronic and debilitating issues and support the underrepresented suffering from these symptoms.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Heather addresses the common misconception that hormone replacement therapy is unsafe, stemming from a flawed study in the early 2000s. She explains that recent research has shown HRT to be safe for most women and beneficial for preventing conditions like dementia and osteoporosis. Heather discusses how the thinning of the vaginal wall during menopause can lead to dryness, discomfort, and increased risk of infections. She explains how Desert Harvest's aloe-based lubricant and moisturizer products can help maintain vaginal health and function. Heather describes how the thinning of the bladder and urethral lining can also contribute to increased UTIs in menopausal women. She discusses Desert Harvest's research on using aloe vera and other botanical ingredients to help prevent and manage recurrent UTIs. Heather recommends that women be mindful of the personal care products they use "down there", avoiding harsh soaps and instead using gentle, pH-balanced formulas. She highlights Desert Harvest's other products like wipes, balms, and lidocaine-based creams that can provide soothing relief.   Connect With Heather Florio: Website:  https://Desertharvest.com   Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/bdhyj3p7 (Desert Harvest Products) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dessertharvestaloevera Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dessertharvest   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

    LLN Episode #274: Dr. Michaela Robbins – How to Find the Best Way to Address Anti-Aging in Menopause

    About Dr. Michaela Robbins: Dr. Michaela Robbins is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, Board-Certified Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, and founder of East x West Med. She has over a decade of experience in medicine with a background in hormone health, longevity health, functional and lifestyle medicine. Dr. Robbins received her master’s and doctoral training at Columbia University and has completed additional training through the Hormone Health Institute, the Institute of Functional Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Prior to founding East x West Med, she led functional wellness direct patient care as well as the longevity coaching program at Modern Age, Upper East Side, NYC. After turning down an offer at one of the largest hormone health companies, Dr. Robbins aimed to start a company that fused boutique longevity medicine with approachable and compassionate care.  At East x West Med, Dr. Robbins sees patients in New York, New Jersey, and Florida focused on health optimization and hormone balance. She also has advised many healthtech startups in the wellness space and is currently the primary in-house medical consultant for Truemed Payments. She is  published in several accredited research journals and has authored and co-authored several textbook chapters focused on diagnosis and management of chronic disease and Doctor of Nursing practices. Dr. Robbins pulls from different areas of medicine to offer people an individualized approach and help people become wellness-focused instead of disease-focused. What We Discuss In This Episode: Dr. Robbins discusses the common misconception that "anti-aging" is achievable, when, in reality, aging is a natural process that cannot be fully reversed. She emphasizes the importance of managing expectations and focusing on feeling your best at each stage, rather than trying to turn back the clock. Embracing the aging process is key. Dr. Robbins explains that addressing aging and menopause requires a multi-factorial approach, not a single "magic" solution. Key elements include lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress management), hormone balance (not just estrogen, but also testosterone), and targeted therapies/supplements. She stressed the need for a personalized plan based on each individual's needs and goals. Many women experience symptoms of low testosterone as they age, but this is often overlooked or misunderstood. Dr. Robbins discussed how to assess testosterone levels and the various treatment options, including lifestyle changes, supplements, and bioidentical testosterone therapy. She emphasized the importance of working with a provider who specializes in women's hormones. Dr. Robbins' top recommendations for women navigating menopause and aging are: 1.    Don't just accept the symptoms - seek out professional help to address the underlying issues, and 2.    Build a support network of other women going through similar experiences. Having that community and accountability can make a big difference.

Dee Davidson is the Founder of CLY, life-altering health coaching that includes fitness training, nutrition, biohacking, functional diagnostic testing, and mindset. You can tune into her podcast "Confidently Balance Your Hormones."   What We Discuss In This Episode: Dee shares her passion for working with women in this season of life. She shares her own journey of hormone issues since age 17. She started to learn about hormones through her infertility journey and began connecting things like food, stress, environmental factors, and even the products that we put on our body and never even thought about.  And then the second stage of her hormone health journey was post-kids.  She was always a very petite fit, worked out – even enjoyed exercise – but noticed she had a really hard time losing weight, being 50 pounds heavier than her usual weight. Hormonal changes are a natural cycle of life. Women's hormones decline as we age, and it's important to understand how we can support our body. We also need to remember our hormones are still doing something even past menopause.  Dee shares how it’s important to note that your hormones are, what she calls,  the electrical panel. They are signals of other dysfunctions in your body.  Your hormones control your brain, your nervous system, your thyroid, your adrenals, your reproductive system, your metabolism, as well as insulin.  And when we get to perimenopause and menopause, and our hormones start to decline, it affects women on a lot of levels.  Many women experience brain fog, and they have more fatigue, because their body just doesn't have that hormone-vital reserve to combat all of the stressors. We discuss weight during this phase of life. This is a huge piece in the hormone menopausal phase. Dee believes the body wants to release weight, but stress is a big factor keeping that from happening. Also, it may be surprising to know that most women aren't eating enough food, so their body will store more fat, and then you become insulin resistant.  So, watching your food intake and making sure you're having enough protein is important. Dee also discusses the importance of strength training. That doesn’t mean hours at the gym and having to engage in CrossFit. We can use resistance bands or even practice yoga or Pilates. There are so many ways to build muscle. Dee then discusses the importance of cortisol. We become chronically fatigued, have those afternoon crashes, or we're not sleeping well because we're actually not producing that cortisol anymore - and then we can go into adrenal fatigue. Dee also talks about managing your stress. You don't have to take 30 or 60 minutes of time to manage your stress.  Dee gives us some quick tips on things that we can do so we can help manage our stress. Dee gives us a few tips in closing to help us thrive in menopause and midlife. 1.    Physical: Regulate and get your blood sugar under control.  Blood sugar isn’t just eating candy and cookies and things, there's a lot involved 2.    Vitality: Preventative health. Don’t ignore your own intuition. 3.    Advocate: It's okay to be an advocate for your health. It's okay to seek support in different areas that maybe you haven't checked out before   Free Resource from Dee Davidson: 11 Ways to Release Weight & Preventive Health Tips: http://bit.ly/45UsiAX   Connect With Dee DavidsonL Website: https://confidentlyloveyourself.com   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

    LLN Episode #272: Lynn Weimer - Transforming Midlife: Mastering Emotional Eating for Energy, Control, and Joy Beyond 50

    About Lynn Weimer: Lynn Weimar, MSN, has a passion and mission to transform the lives of women beyond fifty who struggle with emotional eating, food addictions, and obesity. Having struggled with similar issues herself, she has combined her previous healing process and mindset work with her experience as an RN and research as an MSN to bring hope and freedom to people of all ages. From a place of despair and hopelessness, Lynn has risen to the point where she now competes in Ironman triathlons, has started her own business, and is absolutely in love with her life. Lynn is the founder of Be Fit Beyond Fifty and author of Be Free Beyond Fifty.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Lynn discusses her abrupt transition into midlife after leaving a 30-year marriage. She found herself as a single mom, working a low-paying job, and struggling to care for her own health and wellbeing amidst the stress and challenges. This led to weight gain and a sense of feeling cast aside and irrelevant as an older woman. Lynn explains how the feelings of worthlessness and loss of identity during midlife can drive women to use food for emotional comfort and coping. She shares how cutting out sugar and processed foods, and instead focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods, was transformative for regaining her energy, vitality, and sense of self-worth. Lynn emphasizes the importance of cultivating a positive mindset and vision for the future, rather than getting caught up in short-term cravings. She recommends making small, sustainable changes that gradually reprogram the brain and taste preferences. Incorporating joyful physical activity is also key for boosting energy and confidence. Lynn shares how she went from a state of hopelessness and wishing for her life to end, to now competing in Iron Man triathlons and feeling healthier, stronger, and more joyful than ever before. She is passionate about helping other women over 50 experience a similar transformation through her coaching and resources.   Free Resource from Lynn Weimer: https://befitbeyondfifty.com/3-secrets/ Connect With Lynn Weimer: Website: https://befitbeyondfifty.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/befitbeyondfifty Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/befitbeyondfifty/   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.
