“Am I too old for HRT?” 🤔
We asked Menopause Specialist Dr. Noor Al-Humaidhi, MD, about the 70-year-old woman with osteoporosis, sleep issues, and weight gain who hasn’t started estrogen.

Her answer? “I give her HRT. This business of it being too late for HRT is a myth.” 🤯

Don’t let age stop you from getting the treatment you deserve. Hear why the “10-year window” is based on flawed data and how transdermal estrogen changes everything.

🛑 Hips dropping in Chaturanga? Try the ‘Knee Roll’ method! 🛑

This simple modification is the key to mastering your low plank and protecting your low back and shoulders.

When you feel your hips dropping before your chest, it means your core isn’t fully engaged, putting strain on your joints.

How to do it (watch the Reel!):
1. Start in Plank, hands under shoulders.
2. Lift your feet and roll over onto the tops of your knees (not the kneecaps).
3. CRITICAL STEP: Suck your belly in and avoid letting the hips sag—keep that plank line from head to knees!
4. It’s an elbow bend ONLY as you lower in one solid piece.

This builds the strength you need for the full pose!

Save this Reel for your next practice! 💾

STOP asking: “Am I a candidate for HRT?” 🛑

According to Menopause Specialist Dr. Noor Al-Humaidhi, MD, the answer is simple: ALL WOMEN deserve the conversation!

HRT isn’t just about hot flashes. It’s about PREVENTION. Dr. Noor breaks down the vast, surprising symptoms you might not even know are related to perimenopause (like vertigo, anxiety, and tinnitus!) and how HRT protects your body long-term, reducing osteoporotic fracture risk by at least 30%.

“I thought we had left nothing unsaid... but the panic attacks proved me wrong.” 🤯

Tabatha DeBruyn’s powerful story is one every caregiver and person navigating loss needs to hear. After caring for her mother for over a decade, she believed she was prepared for the grief—she used all the “right” modalities and thought her mind was ready.

But when she was alone, the physical symptoms struck: 💔 Functional depression sleepless nights 💥 crippling panic attacks

This is what happens when grief gets stuck in the body. It’s not just a sadness in your mind; it’s a physiological response frozen in your nervous system.

Tabatha shares the moment she discovered somatic breathwork and how a single 90-minute session brought her a profound “sense of peace in her body” she hadn’t felt in a long time.

Meet Tabatha DeBruyn: Tabatha is a Certified Somatic Breath Master, Transformational Practitioner, and an expert dedicated to guiding others through the physical and emotional release of stored grief and trauma.

If you are carrying the weight of unresolved loss in your chest, back, or gut, your body is waiting for permission to let go.

Listen/watch the full episode on how to use gentle, somatic techniques to find your way back to balance.

🤯 You are NOT processing your grief and trauma the way you think you are.

If you feel anxious, stuck, or are carrying emotional weight that talk therapy hasn’t touched, the answer might be your breath.

In our new episode, we go deep with Tabatha DeBruyn ()—a 9D Somatic Breathwork expert—who reveals how emotions are physically stored in your body (hello, tight hips and chest!) and how conscious breathing is the fastest, safest way to release them.

Tabatha explains the science of accessing the Vagus nerve and the subconscious mind. This isn’t just meditation; it’s accelerated healing that can help you process years of stored pain in a single session.

Listen if you want to know:

➡️ The single most powerful breath for immediate calm (it takes 5 seconds!)
➡️ What the “9D” multi-sensory experience does to accelerate your transformation.
➡️ The truth about grief, and why you should stop trying to “get over it.”
➡️ Where in your body your unprocessed feelings are literally hiding.

Thank you so much for this feedback Sara - a grest reminder that none of us are perfect here - just love that you are seeing all the gains! 💗

I’ve been a member for a month now and being more intentional about moving my body in different ways. I will tell you I strength train regularly but doing yoga with you this month more regularly has felt really good. This was something I was missing mobility wise. My movements are far from perfect. I’m so grateful for the detail you put into your videos. I’m the most basic beginner so the direction is really helpful. Thank you for the encouragement in our one on one video session recently. It really made doing online sessions feel more personal. Today I did the 30min Yoga - Strength & Stretch #5. Holding certain poses really makes you mentally focus because being still really takes strength! I’m looking forward to the next session!
