I'm taking a short break, and we are going to come back stronger than ever.
Here I explain why!

Today we are doing something a little bit different because letâs be honest, everyone is overwhelmed right now and Iâm no different.
This summer I was a guest on Sherry Jibbâs Happy & Healthy in Midlife Summit, and had a great conversation with her about so many things we donât talk about much in the menopause conversation.
Sherry is a registered yoga teacher, a movement educator in Pilates mat and reformer, reiki practitioner and personal trainer. Sheâs also a person who deeply understands the menopause transition exists on so many levels, and gets just what a mind-body-soul transformation it is. In her words, in this interview: âIt's a de-conditioning. It's a letting go of what society tells us is the recipe that we need to finding the recipe for ourselves. And love and compassion is the only way to do that.â
I just loved this interview. In it you will learn:
More about my journalism career and what drew me to the Middle EastWhat happened to my weight and how I got thereHow I think taking care of our health is actually simple â but not easyWhy it's time to take radical responsibility for your healthSome details about my stormy âtransmenopausal yearâ The essentials of grieving Some of the things that helped me through perimenopauseWhy we need a toolboxWhere you can find Sherry Jibb:

I'm giving a talk at the Organic & Real show in Dubai and this is my test run.
The Unconventional Therapists' Guide to Nothing
I talk about the intersection of my 30-year journalism career, which launched around the same time as my mother's death from pancreatic cancer.
And how that set me on a path to finding out whatever I could about health and wellness, all while I struggled with unchecked IBS that resulted in a health explosion in the autumn on 2022.
I talk about what I've learned from all the people I've interviewed and all the research I've done, and how combined with my search for answers for myself and my mom, that has informed a lot of my life.
How I got to where I was and how I got to where I am.

I have two power players in this perimenopause space: half of the four-person team that founded Wile, âa plant-powered hormonal and emotional wellness brand for women 40+ that reframes midlife as a time of peak powerâ. (You will hear the word âtinctureâ)
Introductions: Gwendolyn Floyd is a venture-backed serial social entrepreneur â five companies and counting â and Wileâs co-founder and CEO. The title of this podcast is â4 women go through perimenopauseâ because not only is Gwen a perimenopausal woman, but she watched her mother be buffeted by this transition too. Julie Kucinski is Wileâs co-founder and chief marketing officer, coming from the worlds of beauty and wellness and some of the biggest brands of our time. American actress Judy Greer and former journalist-turned-entrepreneur Corey Schlolibo round out the foursome, and theyâve also got some pretty influential investors along for the ride, including US tennis star Serena Williams.I did this interview back in the summer, but the conversation has legs. We talked about the current reality of this space, whatâs happening with women, how the options facing us are complementary, what we face on the job and in our home lives and what it means to square up with the heroineâs journey of menopause all still stand. You will hear the word tinctures a lot too.
There are many highlights in this frank discussion of the business of perimenopause, as well as the realities of what it is to go through perimenopause.
Why DONâT companies pay attention to women over 40?There is no ânatural vs HrTâ, only natural and HrTCalling in versus calling out and getting defensive on social media How they came to build their formulation (under the guidance of XXX)The one thing you want to know about most of the products you use Yeah, we get angry. Okay? How pretending that we are perfect emotionally â and in every other way â hurts and harms us. Acknowledging we have a lot going â and a tincture or two â and resilience. Why menopause needs the straw in the turtleâs nose moment to blow the consciousness up Why the workplace isnât even close to accepting perimenopause (and why itâs, for us, just the latest hurtle)

⢠The problem with most lubricants (silicon, water-based, hybrid, coconut oil) â in menopause, in particular
⢠You can rejuvenate your vagina: part 2
⢠The power of orgasms
⢠Her message to women: you need to use it

I started the Hotflash inc podcast two years ago on a wing and a prayer and a glass desk, and quickly learned that is the worst possible surface for audio.
The Unconventional Therapists' Guide to Nothing
Along the way I have spoken to the top experts in the world, found out an incredible amount of things, and refined and iterated the podcast intensely, getting it to the point that I'm pretty sure it's â and me â are ready for our own slot at SiriusXM, or at least a bunch of other improvements.
Take a listen as I break down some of the things that other people aren't talking about. Because asking questions about uncomfortable things? That's what I do.
And don't forget to celebrate, because we have launched our first merch. The "you can be in my #perimenoposse" shirt. I think they are pretty darn swell.

âJust put it out there. No one expects you to be perfect.â
When Colleen Rosenblum talks about starting the Hot Flashes & Cool Topics podcast with her partner Bridgett Biagi Garratt in 2019, you kind of want to stand up and cheer. These Nashville-based friends â Colleen is an attorney turned pilates instructor, Brigit is a former elementary school teacher â are two of the most clear-headed voices in the North American midlife sp, all the things that happen in midlife and how we get through them.
They also just had their first IRL Hot Flashes & Cool Topics with Prime Women event this month, where they talked about menopause, midlife and a lot more.
Highlights:
Navigating politics in the menopause space Doctors private public Doing scary new things in midlife How backward it was (and still is) that midlife have the purchasing power but are left out of media coverageShining a light on the positives of midlife Growing through the grief and loss in your empty nest Starting over and deciding what you want to do with the rest of your lifeWhat theyâve learned interviewing doctorsThe most controversial topic theyâve come across â testosterone pellets â and Bridgetâs own experience with themWhy we donât want to change doctors â even when ours knows nothing about perimenopause How being scared of menopause can make it harder Colleen and Bridget look back on their own perimenopause experiencesWhy they left their careers behind and how they feel about it now What it felt like when they launched their podcast â and why women need to stop underestimating the experience they have in lifeNB: For an alternative view about testosterone, check out episode 58 with Nashville, Tennessee-based nurse practitioner Brooke Faught and for testosterone pellets, listen to episode 79 with Phoenix, Arizona-based integrative physician Dr Angela DeRosa.

The first encore guest on the Hotlflash inc podcast is the women's health ND Lara Briden, who is a calm, cool, collected and highly knowledgeable voice in the womenâs health space.
She is the author of two books, period repair manual and hormone repair manual, is a sought after speaker and guest, has her own podcast and helps 171 thousand people on Instagram sort fact from fiction.
Sheâs also a student of the endocrinologist, Dr Jerilynn Prior, who she mentions several times in the podcast, and a passionate advocate for shifting some of the focus during this transition onto progesterone from estrogen, which gets all the attention.
We discuss why perimenopause might seem like chaos, but it really isn't, and why. And a portion of the podcast is dedicated to the evolutionary aspect, which Lara is passionate about because she's also an evolutionary biologist!Highlights:
Why âthe four phases of menopauseâ is unhelpfulRecap on our menstrual cycle The real four phases â of perimenopauseWhat menopause really means (and why itâs going to be okay there)How the âchaosâ is temporary â and whatâs causing itWhy there are really just 9 symptoms of perimenopause The one symptom of menopause that does lingerWhy do much of perimenopause is about other things, but is also about perimenopauseWhy everyone gets the history of menopause wrong â and why understanding it (and seeing it reflected in the animal kingdom) tells us so much about what it really isThe one thing that makes it all worseWhere to find Lara:

FUD = Fear, uncertainty and doubt
This is a special solo episode on the eve of Menoapuse Awareness Month to talk about the current situation that exists where people are trying to scare women into taking hormone therapy, whether they need it or not.
I talk about why that doesnât make any sense, doesnât align with any of the current advice from the bodies who guide doctors on how to handle all this, where itâs coming from and how you can try and make sense of whatâs going on and make an informed decision about what is right for you â hormone therapy or no hormone therapy â by using simple common sense.

We hear this message all the time: compounding pharmacies and the bioidentical hormones they produce are dangerous and unregulated.
But, are they? In an encore episode of Hotflash inc, to find out we turned to two people who are inside the industry, which accounts for about 1 to 2 per cent of drugs sold, and getsa very different story.
Meet Scott Brunner, CEO of the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, which represents compounding pharmacists and technicians as well as prescribers, educators, researchers and suppliers in the United States, and Jennifer Burch, a doctor of pharmacy and owner of the independent pharmacy her father started in Durham, North Carolina. Although this episode focuses on the compounding pharmacies industry in the US, there are takeaways that can be applied all over the world.Highlights:
⢠The drug industry began with compounding pharmacies â so why are they still here? (4.45)
⢠The rigorous regulatory framework in place to oversee them (5.50)
⢠How compounding pharmacies help patients traditional pharmaceuticals cannot â including in menopause (7.32)
⢠Examples in peri/menopause where compounded medications help where pharmaceuticals cannot (10.13)
⢠How practioners work collaboratively with compounding pharmacists (12.30)
⢠The one way pharmacists can tell if a medication is working for a patient (13.10)
⢠How compounded menopause hormone therapy works and is overseen by pharmacists, practitioners and patient consulation for peri/menopause symptoms â and how itâs different from how the majority of HRT prescriptions handled (13.30)
⢠The rare cases where compounding has gone wrong (17.30)
⢠The difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones (and how even doctors confuse them) (19.01)
⢠Why you probably want to skip medroxyprogesterone and go for bioidentical progesterone instead (21.00)
⢠The imminent threat facing the compounding industry (26.00)
⢠Why the compounding isnât even suited to the large-scale clinical trials itâs demonized for not having â and how itâs actually tested (27.23)
⢠The issue of pellets (and why the Alliance wants a more rigorous reporting system for adverse events for all drugs) (37.30)
⢠The case that may have scarred the FDA about compounding pharmacies (42.20)
⢠Are compounded medications really more expensive?(43.30)

Paula Rastrick is a British psychotherapist who was prescribed too-high levels of hormone therapy at a private clinic in the UK, which ended up causing more physical and emotional problems than she originally sought treatment for.
She is also complex trauma survivor and classed as a Highly Sensitive Person and her mission is to raise awareness of both and how they impact menopause transition.
Her episode runs in the same week that the British Menopause Society released a warning about reports of high doses of menopause hormone therapy being given in the UK, and the syndrome known as tachyphlaxis. This is what happens when people taking drugs find the drugs to be less effective over time, and in the case of hormone therapy, can mean women with high estradiol levels may believe they need more estrogen, and also that women with higher levels of estrogen can experience adverse mood-related symptoms.
Paula has create the brain body method of working with women on post-traumatic growth, resilience and healing.. She works with clients one-on-one and has just begun offering affordable monthly workshops that educate women about their bodyâs stress and trauma responses and gives them tools to handle and process it which you can access through her website.
Highlights of our conversation:
Her story of being overprescribed HRTThe vastly understood role of childhood trauma and highly sensitive people in perimenopause Why all mood issues are not simply another perimenopause âsymptomâ What happens when too much estrogen hits a highly sensitive brainRemembering HRT is a pharmaceutical drug, not our bodyâs actual hormones Low and slow as a guiding principle ADHD, neurodiversity and moreWhy menopause needs to connect the dots with other researchWhy menopause is a bio-psycho-social transitioDifferential diagnosis and the danger of counting everything as a perimenopause symptomIs there such a thing as menopause mood disorder? Narrowing the conversation is not helping womenWhy trauma isnât about the event - itâs about how you process the event Libido loss â and the pain and stress of knowing that our relationships need work â in perimenopause HRT as a baseline to tackle everything else rather than a magic pill What do you do when you listen and think âthis sounds like meâThe book she recommends you start with if you think this might be youWhere to find Paula:

There is something that is discussed very little in the current wave of menopause awareness, yet it is, in essence, our very structure.
Yet obviously our DNA is a very big piece of this midlife puzzle.
And if you, like me, thought that DNA testing was something to avoid, because you donât want to find out what diseases you are going to die of, then todayâs conversation with Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company and author of The DNA Way, will be very eye-opening.
The DNA Way is all about using your individual DNA to prevent health issues. The DNA Company has amassed years of in-depth genetic analysis on the DNA results of more than 7,000 people, unlocking valuable insights into mood, behaviour and mental health, energy, diet and nutrition, weight management, sleep, and more.
This is about using epigenetics to overcome your genetic legacy.
Rather than serving as a possible inescapable prophesy, DNA testing provides actionable recommendations for all the most confusing health concerns we have, and can provide guidance on what foods to eat, how to exercise, where and how to work, and more. As Kashif writes in his book and tells me in the podcast, this has helped him prevent or reverse illness, slow down the aging process, and optimize performance.
And it can do the same for you.
Kashif explains DNA in a way that I never really understood it before, and he provided vital insight â and a much different take â on things like reducing our breast cancer risk, and how we can more safely use menopause hormone therapy.
Itâs like a human instruction manual â for menopause too. Get ready to have your mind blown. Mine certainly was.
If you like what you hear: Hotflash inc has partnered with The DNA Company to provide listeners with an exclusive 10 percent discount on the DNA Companyâs DNA 360 Report.

Tania Elfersy is a transformative coach, speaker and award-winning author specializing in midlife women's health. Tania has spent years researching perimenopause and menopause: what causes it, what makes it worse and what can relieve the symptoms. She suffered too, and then after a profound emotional shift, became free of her own physical and emotional symptoms naturally and simply, through insight alone.
Tania set up The Wiser Woman project in 2015 to help women transform their experience of midlife change. Through her coaching, writing and teaching, Tania focuses on connecting women to the innate brilliance of their bodies, having seen that healing occurs with ease when we relax into the divine intelligence within.
Highlights:
Recognizing and rejecting the negative narratives surrounding menopause in media and on social mediaHow we âinnocentlyâ make our health worse by whatâs going on in our mindsThe healing process as a shift in consciousnessHer take on the #menopauserevolution and what is really going on in the UK Do we really need HRT? And could it âdesensitizeâ us to the truth of menopause?How to lean into becoming a Wiser WomanHow to manage â not try to change â our thoughtsWhere to find more of Tania:

BIG NEWS: Hotflash inc is the #1 Women's Health Podcast on Goodpods, and in the top 1.5 percent of podcasts according to Listen Notes.
Thanks so much for making that happen!
While Hotflash inc takes a break, we are replaying a popular and confounding episode here:
With so much hype surrounding menopause hormone therapy today, itâs very hard to know what or who to believe.There is a big push to portray HRT not only as helpful for menopause symptoms, but also as a preventative for cardiovascular disease. But does this bear out in the research we have so far, most of which lumps bioidenticals and synthetic hormones into one basket? That was the question of the latest literature review published American Heart Associationâ journal Circulation this past Valentineâs Day â Rethinking Menopausal Hormone Therapy: For Whom, What, When, and How Long? â that looked at 96 papers, articles and studies. The authors included gynecologists, womenâs health internists, endocrinologists, as well as Stephanie Faubion, medical director for the North American Menopause Society, all members of the American College of Cardiology Cardiovascular Disease in Women Committee.
Kathryn Lindley, an MD and clinical investigator in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and one of the authors of the paper is my guest on the podcast this week to break down these findings.
This episode was originally #63 and published on February 18, 2023.
Highlights:⢠why cardiologists have shied away from the topic of HRT
The Unconventional Therapists' Guide to Nothing
⢠why HRT isn't recommended for prevention of cardiovascular disease (even if it seems like it should be)
⢠the case for HRT to help symptoms
⢠calculating the of using HRT for symptoms ("it's not zero but...")
⢠why other health conditions matter
⢠when it comes to vaginal estrogen...
⢠respecting the HRT "the window of opportunity"
⢠so, what can you do to prevent heart disease and stroke?
⢠the case for assessing reproductive risk factors (and what you need to tell your doctors about your previous reproductive life â even if she doesn't ask)
⢠the importance of taking in medical news in the media with "skepticism"
⢠the case for keeping top of your health during perimenopause and taking action early for your future health
