    Ep. 138 - New Menopause Insights Published with Andrea Donsky

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.   Andrea Donsky is returning to the show today for a discussion on her upcoming event - The Power of Menopause being held virtually on October 25, 2024.  She is also with us to chat about her recent experience at The Menopause Society annual conference, presenting her research to the esteemed members in attendance.  Andrea and her company wearemorphus.com collect data via free surveys that anyone can take.  Through the data collected, we are starting to get a much more clear and different picture of what actually happens at perimenopause, with our sleep in peri, and how our doctors are treating us when we present for care.  The results will surprise you (but probably not shock you).  40% of women are dismissed by their doctor without help for meno symptoms.    And there is much more to this conversation! Andrea walks us through the top 10 symptoms of the perimenopause transition (hint:  hot flashes dont show up until number 10!) and what we can do to help with these symptoms.  Additionally, Andrea tells us there are 103 symptoms associated with menopause.  It's so much more than we were taught!  Please listen, learn and share.  Find out more about the Morphus supplements (I adore the Fibreus and Sleepus!) Andrea mentions right here.

    Ep. 137 - Probiotics, Immunity and Gut Health with Tina Anderson

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around peri-menopause and menopause.   After breaking free from the world of Big Pharma where she saw first hand the over prescription of drugs and the glorification of disease management (instead of health), Tina Anderson and her husband Billy started a company.  A company where they vowed to make real change for health, to improve lives and helped people to manage stress.  That company is called Just Thrive.  And they are here to say, if you aren't paying attention to your gut health, you should be! So let's dive into gut health.... Tina and Dr. Lovely discuss probiotics, leaky gut, joint pain, resilience, stress management, mental health, inflammation and much more.  Tina tells us to reject what she calls the "Stress Badge of Honour" instead choosing to feel happy, peaceful.  Who knew that tending to our gut and our microbiome was the way to wellness?   If you have gut issues, inflammation, pain, struggle with depression or anxiety, please listen to this chat!  We learned early in the chat how Tina and her team worked to create mental health via the gut.  Woah, big subject that could have massive implications.  We know that what medicine has done for mental health at menopause hasn't been all that successful, so we are open to getting new tools in the toolkit.  Please listen, learn and share.  You can find out more about the Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic and Antioxidant here.  You can take 20% off your order of these probtiocs with the code LOVELY.   You can find out more about Tina Anderson and Just Thrive @justthrivehealth on Instagram.      ✨Want to know more about The Apollo wearable tech?  "Apollo is a great tool to not only increase your HRV, but improve emotional regulation and achieve deeper sleep.

    Ep. 136 - How Burnout Led to the Wise Woman Within with Dr. Shana Johnston

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around peri-menopause and menopause.   Dr. Lovely has a chat today with Family Physician, Dr. Shana Johnston.  After working nearly 30 years in a volume based system of medicine, Shana burned out and left practice.  This also happened to correspond to her late peri-menopause.  She calls this time, the tunnel of menopause, a portal.  A graduation of sorts where we are called to come home to ourselves.  A gorgeous chat between dear friends, they discuss how spiritual practices become so much more important during the times of challenge, like perimenopause.   Dr. Shana has a fascinating story and a deep knowledge of humanity from working many aspects of medicine in her professional career.  Delivering babies and assisting with end of life care, she sees herself as the helper in "life's airport:  arrivals and departures."  She has much to share with us about how menopause acted as a major life change agent for her and how it can do the same for you - for the better!  Menopause is ultimately a deeply spiritual transition to our higher, more authentic self, if we allow it.   You can find out more about Dr. Shana Johnston and her workshops and online courses here. She is presently gathering women together for her Menopause: Let's Talk About It workshop.  She is generously offering our community a 25% discount for her online courses and workshops with the code: LOVELY.  ✨Want to know more about The Apollo wearable tech?  "Apollo is a great tool to not only increase your HRV, but improve emotional regulation and achieve deeper sleep.
