• [VIDEO] Menopause Relief & Eastern Medicine w/ Brooke Taylor

  Welcome to The Menopause Matriarchy. Just like any well-run, ruling system, we’re all about nurturing power, intergenerational authority and achieving systemic balance– So, what better way to do this, than by merging two perspectives on a single topic? After last week’s episode, we’re clear on how genetics, nutrition and environment play a critical role in our menopausal journey and by establishing positive habits in our lifestyle (and incorporating things like hormone replacement therapy), we can approach this phase of life from a place of empowerment and medical understanding. In this episode, you’ll join us for Part 2 as we head East on our trek toward peri and menopausal mastery. Brooke Taylor of The Road in Austin, TX guides us on a new and often under represented perspective on menopause. She shares how this stage of life is actually treated as the most honorable and highly respected, as it is a time when women have achieved life mastery, gained wisdom and can turn to self-care as a tool for extending their lifespan. We’ll cover eastern medicinal protocols like acupuncture, herbal medicine and breathwork and discuss the value of supplementing Western medicine using a natural, whole body approach. ————— I Shaved My Vag For This is hosted by Spotify.

• [VIDEO] Signs and Symptoms of Perimenopause with Dr. Kamilia Smith

  Jump on in, water’s real warm and clammy...By 2025, 1.1 billion women will be in the stage of menopause.The problem? This field has been largely ignored, hormonal research has solely focused on males, and women suffering for years have felt invisible, isolated and given little to no resources to aide them in the second half of life.We have come too far to accept things like: insomnia, dry vag, hostile sex drive, extra chin hairs...a couple friendly night sweats... as just a “thing that happens because are women.” Hell no. These are also major signals in our body that ultimately lead to early onset of life-altering diseases like dementia, osteoporosis and increase our risk to cancer.Dr. Kamilia Smith joins us for Part 1 of our Menopause Miniseries to guide us through the ages and stages of Pre, Peri, Early & Late Menopause, and how integrating these inevitable hormonal shifts through lifestyle, nutrition and a solid physical and mental foundation (along with breakthrough therapies like HRT) will lead us toward a much happy and healthier lifespan. This is such an important moment in our history. Watch and listen, so we can play the long game together._____________________Like what you hear?

• [VIDEO] Psychedelics with Olivia Young

  Peyote for my past lives, MDMA for my present... but what happens in between? Welcome to the world of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy-- Where science and mother nature have come together to form a perfect union. It looks like mushrooms, peyote, MDMA, LSD and… turns out, sometimes toads.  If you're a little scared-nervous-excited, don't worry, you have company. Here's where data and science can break through-- Psychedelic assisted therapy is receiving a medical face-lift in the form of dedicated clinics with highly-sought after physicians who are backing the technique as a new way of approaching trauma and PTSD. FDA-approval of MDMA recently hit a roadblock, however, research & anecdotal experience point to the use of supervised psychedelics as more effective than traditional SSRI’s & talk therapy in the treatment of severe depression and anxiety– even aiding those with severe PTSD for years into remission. Join me and former hospitality executive (turned alternative therapy counselor and coach), Olivia Young, as she takes us along a detailed and unbelievable journey of total transformation through the use of supervised psychedelics, namely "The God Molecule," and other alternative healing methods in practice today. Note: **TRIGGER WARNING** Your safety and your health matter to us. This episode includes themes and depictions of events that can be triggering to victims and/or survivors. We take the subject matter of mental health, abuse, trauma, and PTSD incredibly seriously and this is not considered medical advice.
