Apply to work with me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow   Hey friend, Did you know that 57% of ALL women ages 40-80 feel like we’re not having enough sex? Between relationship conflicts, boredom, stress, and the fact that our hormones are tanking faster than our willpower near a bread basket, it’s no wonder our idea of the perfect Valentine’s Day has morphed into eating dark chocolate alone in our sweatpants while watching crime documentaries! The truth is, perimenopause and menopause don’t just mess with our energy, weight, and mood—they can straight-up murder our libido. Low estrogen, tanking testosterone, and skyrocketing cortisol are a recipe for zero desire, vaginal dryness, and feeling about as sexy as a potato. But here’s the good news: you can absolutely get your sex drive back. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the Are You There, Midlife? Podcast vault to share one of my most popular episodes from a “Love & Hormones” series I hosted with my husband, Rick, back in May. In this episode, you will learn: ✅ How shifting hormones, aging, and the stage of your relationship impact your libido ✅ The 4 biggest myths about sex in perimenopause and menopause (including the one that shocked me the most!) ✅ The #1 desire killer in relationships and how to stop it from ruining your sex life ✅ Why waiting to ‘feel in the mood’ doesn’t work for most women—and what actually does. PLUS, four tips to naturally reignite your desire, boost arousal, and improve intimacy…just in time for Valentine’s Day. Rick and I also get very candid about our own ups and downs in the bedroom(no pun intended) over the past 26 years, including how we’ve navigated dry spells, body image struggles, and keeping things fresh after decades together. So if you’re dreading Valentine’s Day because the thought of getting naked sounds less appealing than doing laundry… this episode is for you. — Next Steps:   Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?

  • 59 | 5 Things You Need To Know When Googling Solutions for Your Perimenopause or Menopause Symptoms
    Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take My FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz Ready To Stop The Guesswork, Fix Your Hormones, And Feel Like “You” Again? Apply to work with me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow   Hey friend, Are you overwhelmed when it comes to researching your perimenopause and menopause symptoms online?    According to a study by 2024 study by Bonafide, 69% of women say everything they know about menopause they learned from first-hand research (which they resorted to after repeatedly getting dismissed by their doctor.) While the internet is full of valuable information, it’s also packed with misinformation, one-size-fits-all solutions, and advice that may not actually work for your unique hormone needs.   So, in today’s episode, I’m breaking down the five things you need to know when researching your perimenopause and menopause symptoms.   In this episode, you will learn:   Why two women with the same symptoms may need completely different treatments.   How some popular menopause supplements could be making your symptoms worse.   Why trusting symptoms alone to diagnose a hormone imbalance can lead to the wrong solutions.   How bio-individuality affects hormone balance solutions and why not all remedies work for all women.   The major difference between traditional medicine vs. a holistic approach when it comes to balancing your hormones   If you’re tired of DIY-ing your way through your hormone puzzle, piecing together random advice and not getting results, this episode is for you.   — Next Steps:   Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?

And I’m on a mission to help women in mid life balance their hormones naturally without drugs, doctors (or divorce!) It wasn’t too long ago when perimenopause came crashing through my door with a ton of luggage (‘cuz she was prepared to stay for A WHILE!) I remember how overwhelmed, anxious, and pretty much clueless I was about what was happening to my body…and how desperate I was for a diagnosis! But, after SEVERAL visits to my doctor who gave me a clean bill of health and lab results that came back “within normal range,” I finally decided to take my health into my own hands. I spent OVER A YEAR combing through PubMed research studies, taking online courses in naturopathy and functional medicine, and becoming my own human guinea pig to crack the hormone code and create a research-based program that really worked to balance my hormones, put the kibosh on perimenopause symptoms, and lose stubborn weight–and keep it off–for more than 10 years! And now, I want to share it with you. Join me as I demystify the hormonal transition in midlife and spill the ”tea” on what to expect when you’re expecting perimenopause…and beyond. From anxiety to insomnia, body fat to funky body odor (yeah, that’s a thing!), I’ll unpack all the ”weird stuff” going on inside our midlife bodies, plus give you the latest science and holistic solutions to balance it all. ...Are you tired of dealing with heavy, painful periods that look like a crime scene?… ...Or struggling with symptoms like chronic headaches, fatigue, or brain fog that….(What was I saying again?).... ...Are you beyond frustrated doing “all the things” to lose weight—but are still packing on the pounds faster than a sumo wrestler in training Then, girl, you’re in the right place.:) There IS a way you can balance your hormones naturally that doesn’t involve band-aid solutions like antidepressants or birth control pills (which are a BIG mistake! HUGE!)...and that only provide temporary relief without fixing the root problem. In this podcast, you’ll learn how to: - End painful periods, menstrual headaches, and PMS - Improve your sleep, reduce night sweats, and increase your overall energy - Reduce hormonal depression and anxiety–WITHOUT meds! - Alleviate symptoms of inflammation like joint pain, hair loss, gut issues, and allergies - Move the scale on stubborn weight and belly fat (and never starve yourself again!) - Talk to your partner about perimenopause (without sounding like you’re totally insane!) It’s TIME to take back control of your hormones and show ‘em who’s boss...so you can feel confident and love yourself again! ...Without ever stepping foot inside a doctor’s office or resorting to crazy hormone pellets. No need to make an appointment or even change outta your PJs. Just come as you are–wherever you are–as I discuss ALL things hormones in midlife–with a bit of saucy humor.
