    Why don't I feel like myself anymore?

    Why Don't I Feel Like Myself? Brain Fog, Mood and the Midlife Mind EPISODE DESCRIPTION You forget a word. Lose your train of thought. Walk into a room with absolutely no idea why you are there. At first, you laugh. Then it happens again, and a much more frightening question appears: Is something wrong with my brain? In this episode of the She2.0 and WellnessMD podcast series, Jacquie talks with Dr. Daniela Steyn about the cognitive and emotional changes that can happen during perimenopause and menopause. They explore brain fog, memory changes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, depression and hormone rage, along with the fear many women carry about dementia. They also talk about why depression is not a failure of willpower. When getting out of bed already feels impossible, being told to exercise, meditate and prepare a beautifully balanced meal is not particularly useful. Sometimes support and treatment must come first. In this episode: • Why brain fog does not automatically mean dementia • How sleep can affect memory and cognition • Why midlife memory changes carry so much fear • Anxiety and depression during the menopause transition • Why needing medication or mental health support is not a personal failure • Hormone rage, emotional regulation and the shame that can follow an outburst • How ageism turns ordinary memory lapses into questions about competence • Why women may leave the workforce during the peak of their careers • Hormone testing and why symptoms matter • Nutrition, movement, rest and other foundations of brain health • Why friendship and social connection deserve to be treated as part of our health If changes in your mood, memory or ability to cope are affecting your life, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. You do not need to wait until you are in crisis to ask for help. This series was created in partnership with WellnessMD. She2.0 provides general information and conversation, not medical advice.

    Why Is My Body Changing? Weight, Ozempic and the Midlife Metabolism Conversation

    You're eating the same foods. Doing the same workouts. Living in the same body. Except suddenly, your body feels different. Like you don't really recognize it anymore. Sound familiar? In the first episode of this new She2.0 and WellnessMD podcast series, Jacquie sits down with Dr. Daniela Steyn to talk about weight, nutrition and body composition during perimenopause and menopause. They get into abdominal weight gain, the importance of maintaining muscle, blood sugar crashes, intermittent fasting and why waking up at 3:00 a.m. may not always be caused by hormones alone. Dr. Steyn also explains how Ozempic and other GLP 1 medications can reduce food noise and support weight loss, along with the potential trap of relying on appetite suppression without paying attention to nutrition, protein and muscle. In this episode: • Why familiar eating and exercise habits may stop producing familiar results • The difference between weight and body composition • Why muscle matters so much in midlife • What Ozempic means by quieting "food noise" • Why weight loss can also lead to muscle loss • How blood sugar may contribute to middle of the night waking • Whether intermittent fasting is right for every woman • Simple ways to make eating well more realistic • Why personalization matters more than another universal menopause rule This series was created in partnership with WellnessMD.

    Introducing a new She2.0 limited series with Dr. Daniela Steyn

    Menopause comes with enough questions. Finding clear, credible information shouldn't create another 47. This fall, She2.0 is launching a special limited podcast series with Dr. Daniela Steyn of WellnessMD, created to help women better understand menopause and navigate some of the conversations that come with it. We'll be talking about the menopause brain, hormone therapy, sexual health, symptoms, navigating menopause care in Canada and how to have more useful conversations with your healthcare provider. And we're going to talk about something else that matters: how to listen to health information critically. Because this series is a conversation, not a prescription. Dr. Steyn is sharing her clinical experience, interpretations of the research and medical opinions. Those views are her own and shouldn't be taken as individualized medical advice. They also don't necessarily represent the views of She2.0. I'll be asking questions, occasionally challenging things, and doing what I always want She2.0 to do: helping women get better information so they can ask better questions. It's also worth remembering that not every new symptom in midlife is menopause. Symptoms can overlap with other health conditions, so new, persistent or concerning symptoms deserve proper medical assessment. In this short introductory episode, I'm sharing why I wanted to create this series, what you can expect when it launches this fall, and why I think conversations like these matter. No miracle cures. No one size fits all answers. No pretending menopause is simple. It..is...not. Just candid conversations, credible information and a better starting point for figuring out what makes sense for you. Navigating Menopause in Canada with Dr. Daniela Steyn, coming this fall from She2.0 and WellnessMD.
