✨ New Podcast Episode! ✨

If you're in midlife and wondering where to even begin with all the changes menopause brings… this one’s for you.

I sat down with Dr. Olga Morton, a physician who left behind the pill-for-everything model and now helps women feel better with simple, evidence-based lifestyle shifts.

From plant-based eating to sleep, strength training, and self-compassion — we cover the 6 foundational habits that truly move the needle.

🎧 Listen to Feel Better First: A Lifestyle Medicine Approach to Menopause wherever you listen to podcasts.

You don’t need a complete overhaul. You just need a place to start. 💛

Why is eating breakfast so controversial? ⁠
⁠
I hear ALL the time: ⁠
"I'm just not hungry"⁠
"I don't like to eat before I exercise"⁠
"I'm trying to save calories"⁠
⁠
But what you are doing when you skip breakfast is missing a huge opportunity to:⁠
⁠
*Get more protein⁠
*Get your much needed fiber⁠
*Start your day with the fuel your brain needs⁠
*Balance your blood sugar⁠
*Not be starving by lunch⁠
⁠
So, I'm curious, who here skips, what I consider, the most important meal of the day and why?⁠

Repeat After Me!

You cannot balance your hormones.

THE END.

They're not dumbbells. They're chemistry. And no, a protein smoothie won’t fix it.

Stop trying to “balance” your hormones like you’re stacking Jenga blocks.
They’re not meant to be balanced—they’re meant to fluctuate, all day long.

It’s called being alive.

We have over 30 hormones in our bodies (even though most wellness influencers will have you believe you have…four? Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and insulin) and they are working for you around the clock to keep your body functioning properly.

What does the next chapter of your life really look like?

With all that is happening in our lives it might be hard to imagine. But whether you're dreaming of a slower pace, planning a big adventure, or simply craving clarity about your future healthy self, this conversation with Camille Walsonovich offers a fresh perspective on reimagining what comes next.

We dive deep into the unique challenges women face during this life transition - from career shifts and caring for aging parents to health concerns and seeking meaning. Camille shares powerful strategies for navigating this "perfect storm" of midlife, including the concept of "backcasting" (envisioning different possible futures based on today's choices) and taking "micro actions" that build confidence through small, manageable steps.

📝 “Do I really need to eat organic produce?”
Short answer: No—you don’t.

You’ve probably heard that organic is “cleaner” or “safer,” but the science says otherwise.

➡️ The amount of pesticide residue on conventional produce is extremely low—well below safety limits
➡️ Organic farming uses natural inputs like compost + manure, which can sometimes lead to slightly higher levels of heavy metals (like cadmium)
➡️ But in both cases, the actual risk is very, very low

What matters more?

💛 Supporting your hormones + health with:
✔ More fruits and veggies—organic or not
✔ Less stress around food choices
✔ A pattern of eating that feels good and works for you

Worrying about organic shouldn't be the barrier to eating better.

💬 Have you ever felt confused or pressured about organic vs non-organic? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
