February 27, 2024 02:29 - 50 minutes - 93.2 MBAccording to the CDC, over 60 million women (44%) in the United States are living with some form of heart disease. This is from the American Heart Assoc: more than one in three women is living with some form of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year – more than all cancers combined.

Optimize Your Lymphatic System During Menopause - #74
February 21, 2024 01:28 - 55 minutes - 103 MBAnyone who’s ever had a massage understands the magic of what trained hands can do to your body, your mind, and the rest of your day. Bodywork techniques, such as massages, rolfing, reiki, cupping, and acupuncture have been around for a very long time. There is documented evidence that the first massage technique, under the umbrella of Ayurveda, was introduced back in 3000 B.C. In this episode, the focus is on the lymphatic system and menopausal health. The lymphatic system is the sewer sy...
Enhance Your Sleep Through Ayurvedic Medicine - #73
February 18, 2024 20:59 - 1 hour - 120 MBAccording to the NIH, the overall prevalence of sleep disorders among postmenopausal women was 51.6%. About a third of women’s lives around the world are affected by disrupted sleep and menopause, and both of these have a large effect on their health. Sleep disturbance is a significant issue for midlife women and poor sleep has been shown to increase a woman’s risk for Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer, metabolic disease, and heart health. Here are some more stats: -10-30% of adults struggle wi...
Healing Stored Trauma During Menopause - #72
February 18, 2024 20:40 - 1 hour - 127 MBThis episode is either going to resonate with you immediately or be eye-opening. Either way, it’s going to be intriguing. My guest and I are talking about stored trauma in the body, what it is, how it happens to us, and what we can do to heal ourselves. Stored trauma impacts bodily inflammation, chronic stress, sleep, gut health, and hormonal imbalances. Midlife and menopause are hard enough, but if you are dealing with stored trauma on top of that, and most of us are whether you are aware o...
Midlife Women and Autoimmune Diseases - #71
February 08, 2024 21:35 - 56 minutes - 105 MBWomen have a fourfold increase in risk of autoimmune disorders than men and 80% of the people who have autoimmune issues are women. Some autoimmune disorders are triggered during the perimenopausal through postmenopausal time frame (30-60 years of age). While more research is needed, it is proposed that sex hormones, the microbiome, environmental factors, and the X chromosome may be very much connected to autoimmune disorders in women. It is broadly known and accepted by many functional me...
Pilates For Your Menopause Journey - #70
January 25, 2024 18:46 - 53 seconds - 99.2 MBDid you know that midlife women are at risk of losing 1% of their lean muscle mass per year starting at age 30? Did you know that midlife women are also at risk for declining bone health, leading to fractures, loss of strength and balance, and, eventually, loss of independence? Exercising during midlife is crucial to a woman's longevity plan. Fragility fractures are fractures resulting from a fall from standing height or less. These fractures, which most commonly occur at the hip, spine, or ...
Why Midlife Women Need a DXA Scan - #69
January 18, 2024 19:23 - 1 hour - 139 MBIf you’re a midlife woman, then your bone health should be at the top of your list to check. As we age and transition from peri-menopause, to menopause, to post-menopause, our bone health is at risk, for some more than others. Here’s a stat from the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation: Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, about eight million or 80% are women. Approximately one in two women over age 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. A woman's risk of brea...
Women's Health and Cellular Function - #68
December 09, 2023 19:06 - 1 hour - 123 MBMenopause is not just about gaining weight, having hot flashes, and not sleeping well. It’s also about the decline of our cellular health, which contains these essential organelles called mitochondria. I’ve talked about mitochondria in passing on numerous podcasts, and dedicated a full episode on Urolithin A, a gut metabolite that induces mitophagy, or the cleaning up of our mitochondria, so be sure to check that one out. As we age and start the process of menopause, which includes perimen...
Ayurveda For Midlife Women - #67
December 05, 2023 23:07 - 48 minutes - 96.6 MBHow can we take an ancient practice, modernize it, and use it during a time in a woman’s life when we are vulnerable and want to feel and look our very best? Some women are all in when it comes to taking hormones during the menopause transition, while others want a more holistic approach. How about combining the two? Is it possible? I have the perfect guest joining me today to break down what Ayurvedic medicine is and how it can fit into our modern society's need to feel and look great, mit...
The Intervention and Longevity Connection - #66
November 20, 2023 20:45 - 59 minutes - 109 MBIn Parts 1 and 2, Dr. Savage and I dove deep into the early detection and prevention of chronic disease states. If you have not listened to those episodes yet, check out #60 and #62, where you will learn about the importance of discovering your unique health equation and how to support optimal health through labs and other tests. In this podcast, we dive deep into what intervention is, how to apply it in your anti-aging plan, and when to know it's time to intervene with a medical provider. ...
Stool Testing 101 - #65
November 10, 2023 22:18 - 1 hour - 123 MBChronic disease states start in the gut. Stool testing has been gaining traction to help people reach their health goals by working on their gut health and overall well-being. Stool testing can take a look inside your gut microbiome and identify pathogens, parasites, keystone species, nutrients, genetic material, and more. Clinicians and doctors can utilize this valuable data to continue to prevent disease and turn around health conditions by making lifestyle changes and personalizing supple...
Mitochondrial Health, Urolithin A and Women's Health - #64
October 30, 2023 01:05 - 56 minutes - 105 MBInside most of our cells, as well as plants, fungi, and animals, are the mitochondria, or power plants of cells. These little organelles make chemical energy, called ATP, or Adenosine Triphosphate, which is our body’s energy currency. About hair growth, for example, the cells that make up our hair follicles need a lot of energy to grow hair. About our skin cells, if we don’t have healthy mitochondria making enough ATP, we won’t have healthy, youthful-looking skin. This is true for our kidney...
Gut Health and Menopause - #63
October 13, 2023 18:04 - 59 minutes - 111 MBEvery day we hear more and more about the importance of gut health and how it relates to all chronic disease states, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Our conventional healthcare system is not well-versed in preventive approaches to overall health, especially when it comes to gut health. More often than not, doctors we see are not asking us about the foods we are eating, or not eating, our level of daily stress, sleep, or exercise routine- all ...
Why Early Detection of Disease States Matter - #62
October 01, 2023 14:46 - 1 hour - 1.07 MBOur current healthcare model is set up for sick care and acute care- so if you are already sick with cancer and receiving treatment, or cut your hand with a kitchen knife by accident, our healthcare system is helpful. What it isn’t set up for is preventive care. Lifestyle interventions are your first lines of defense- think about how nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise impact your life. Beyond that, what else could you be doing to prevent chronic disease states, such as Alzheim...
Optimizing Fat Loss During Menopause - #61
September 19, 2023 16:55 - 1 hour - 115 MBMenopause and fat loss- will they ever be friends? Women are not small men and the art of fat loss for menopausal and post-menopausal women can be challenging. Hormonal changes, especially with a decline in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels during menopause often lead to a slower metabolism, loss of lean muscle mass, increased visceral fat level, decrease in bone mineral density, increased anxiety, poor sleep, and loss of overall strength. Sarcopenia, or muscle wasting, is a di...
Building A Longevity Plan - #60
September 12, 2023 01:35 - 1 hour - 125 MBLongevity refers to how long you can live in a healthy state, void of chronic disease. The big 4 horsemen of chronic disease are Alzheimer’s Disease, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. If you could take the guesswork out and know what your body needed in order to thrive so you could live your most optimal life for as long as possible, would you be up for that? Most people are complacent when it comes to their lifespan, or the length of years they live, regardless of their h...
Social Determinants of Women's Health - #59
August 28, 2023 20:26 - 42 minutes - 79.2 MBSocial determinants of health are nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. Think of healthcare access and quality, economic stability, neighborhood, and built environments, such as parks, community fitness centers, and access to nutritious food. Many of us don’t have to think about these things because we live in well-established communities, have access to multiple grocery stores, and have opportunities to safely exercise at parks, hike on trails, and workout at community gyms. So...
Hair Loss Solutions For Midlife Women - #58
August 22, 2023 21:45 - 1 hour - 114 MBA new study found that hair loss affects over 52% of women over 50 years old, and 80% of women by the time they are 60 years old. During peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause, women's hormones are fluctuating, decline, and causing chronic hair shedding, thinning, and hair loss in many women. During women's midlife years, there are other hormonal changes going on causing weight gain, leading to yo-yo dieting, increased stress, disrupted sleep, and challenges with exercising. Add in ge...
Menopause and Midlife Women's Heart Health - #57
August 12, 2023 19:49 - 1 hour - 125 MBMany midlife women that I work with, and are friends with, fear getting breast cancer more than heart disease. The focus on cardiovascular health is often not listed on my client’s health history form as an area of concern. Did you know that heart disease is the #1 cause of death for both women and men? Over 60M women in the U.S. live with some form of heart disease. While there are many unique risk factors for women developing heart disease, which we are going to cover in this episode, one ...
Hair Loss and Micronutrient Deficiencies - #56
July 26, 2023 18:48 - 54 minutes - 102 MBMicronutrients are the nutrients our body needs in lesser amounts to grow and develop. These include vitamins and minerals, and our body cannot manufacture these, so we must obtain them thru diet and supplementation. There are water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, macrominerals, and trace minerals. One of the best ways to look inside your cell to see what your nutrient status is is by taking a micronutrient test. This test tells you if your cells are stable, borderline deficient, or functi...
Metabolic Flexibility and Midlife Women's Health - #55
June 28, 2023 21:00 - 47 seconds - 89.1 MBMetabolic flexibility is the body’s ability to utilize different sources of fuel for energy - either glucose and fat, stored body fat or fuel from food. Most people are fueled by glucose because of their poor diet, especially the Standard American Diet. As we age, metabolism also slows down. Our mitochondria decrease in both quality and quantity, affecting our ability to produce energy within the cell. Signs that one is metabolically inflexible are weight gain, cravings between meals, and ...
Women's Health AMA #2 - #54
June 07, 2023 21:09 - 50 minutes - 92.3 MBWelcome back to another Women's Health Ask Me Anything episode on the Health Trip podcast. My featured guest is Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, a double Board-Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist and Reproductive Endocrinologist who specializes in the care of reproductive-age and mid-life women. She is a North American Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner. What really sets her apart, is that she’s also an athlete, fitness trainer, and nutrition coach. How many doctors can you say that abo...
Optimizing Midlife Human Performance - #53
May 31, 2023 21:57 - 55 minutes - 104 MBMidlife is defined as being between the ages of 35-60 yrs old. This is when we start to see and feel changes, and not in the direction we want. Brain fog, forgetting where we left our keys, more trips to get Botox, belly fat, dreaded hair thinning, chronic fatigue, horrible sleep, and, sadly, low to no libido – the list goes on and on. As we age, the doors to chronic disease open up: heart disease, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, and cancer all become real possibilities for most of us. I’m all...
Osteoporosis And The Midlife Woman - #52
May 22, 2023 22:53 - 57 minutes - 106 MBToday I am focusing on osteoporosis and midlife women. It’s called the “silent disease” because you can’t feel your bones getting weaker. The National Osteoporosis Foundation offers these facts: -1 in 2 women will break a bone due to osteoporosis after the age of 50. -A woman’s risk of fracture is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. -24% of hip fracture patients age 50 and over die in the year following the fracture. -A bone density test is the best way to ...
Women's Health AMA - #51
April 19, 2023 21:05 - 58 minutes - 109 MBHave you ever wanted to ask your primary care physician, or OBGYN, certain questions about your vagina or sexual health and bailed out? Or asked them questions only to have them tell you it’s in your head or dismiss you altogether? Dr. Kelly Casperson, MD, and I sit down for my first Ask Me Anything episode on women’s health. I collected some fantastic questions from you, my midlife women's community. Let’s dive in and see what going on down there! Dr. Kelly Casperson, MD is a board-certif...
Menopause and PCOS - #50
March 30, 2023 20:02 - 1 hour - 115 MBPCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is one of the most common causes of female infertility, affecting 6% to 12% (as many as 5 million) of US women of reproductive age. There’s no known cause of PCOS, but several mechanisms have been linked to this syndrome, such as hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, and genetics. Women with PCOS can develop serious health issues, especially if they are overweight. Here are some stats from the CDC: -more than half of women with PCOS develop type 2 d...
Hair Loss Journey-Part 2 - #49
March 22, 2023 19:43 - 25 minutes - 47.5 MBIn Part 2, I share my ongoing personal journey of hair loss and hair growth. After a year of amazing hair growth, and very little hair shedding, I made one change that triggered a massive shedding, bringing me back to where I was over a year ago. With my oldest son's wedding in six months, i decided to try two newer modalities on the market and am sharing my experience with you. When working with my clients on their hair growth journeys, as well as my own, I work with three buckets: lifesty...
Midlife Lovemaking Techniques - #48
March 13, 2023 21:56 - 48 minutes - 96.1 MBDid you know that having regular sex positively influences your overall health and longevity? Studies have shown that both men and women who engage in regular sexual activity have stronger immune systems, reduced anxiety, feel happier, and protect the health of a man's prostate. Sexual activity and orgasms release beneficial chemicals in our body that supports bonding with others and a feeling of self-worth. Regular sex may also support a woman's transition into menopause and beyond by minim...
Sex & Menopause - #47
January 22, 2023 22:26 - 1 hour - 140 MBIf you’re like me and going through menopause, you may have taken notice of some vaginal changes for the worse. As we move through menopause, our hormone levels drop. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the three dominant sex hormones that matter most when it comes to having hot, pleasurable, juicy sex. Some women cruise through menopause without a hitch, but most women experience adverse physical, emotional, and psychological issues, such as: -loss of self-lubrication -thinning v...
Menopause Medicine - #46
January 19, 2023 01:10 - 1 hour - 127 MBThe average age of a woman in menopause is 51 but can range between 40-58 years old. We are going to spend a third of our lives in menopause so why not make it as vibrant as possible? There is no need to suffer during perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause when we have options to support us. Perimenopause and menopause may include a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, brain fog, low libido, anxiety, hair loss, and weight gain. Menopause also opens the door to an increased risk of ch...
Medical Weight loss with Semaglutide - #45
January 05, 2023 22:08 - 1 hour - 140 MBI work with a lot of men and women who want, and need, to lose weight. Some are struggling to lose 50+ pounds, while others can’t seem to shake the last 10 pounds off. As we age, our mitochondria diminish in quantity and quality, leading to a reduction in cellular function. Burning body fat requires optimal cellular function and energy. If you think back to biology class in high school, remember that the mitochondria reside inside our cells and produce ATP, our energy currency, that runs the...
Menopause, Hormones, and Healthspan Connection - #44
December 14, 2022 20:36 - 109 MBOnce women go through menopause, their risk of cardiovascular disease and having a stroke increases – heart disease is the #1 killer among women. Our risk of Alzheimer’s, osteopenia, osteoporosis, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and belly fat all increase exponentially as well. Increased belly fat leads to insulin resistance, which leads to pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and again, heart disease.
Epigenetics and Breast Cancer Risk - #43
December 07, 2022 17:10 - 97.1 MBYou are born with your genes and those don't change. How you choose to live your life does impact your gene expression. Eating an unhealthy diet, not getting enough sleep, being chronically stressed, and not exercising are lifestyle factors that influence our risk of developing breast cancer. Outside of living an unhealthy lifestyle, women must look at their hormone levels as they age. About 90% of the women that I have had the honor to work with have never had a conversation with their OBGY...
Scalp Health & Hair Loss - #42
November 22, 2022 17:04When I talk about hair loss, you’ll hear me focusing on gut health, micronutrient deficiencies, genetics, diet, stress management, and exercise as the core foundations of building a better platform for healthy hair growth. Scalp health is equally as important. Think of your scalp as the garden bed, the soil, upon which healthy hair growth is made possible. Some people have dry or oily dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, or alopecia areata scarring, inhibiting hair growth. Most of us are confused ab...
Optimized Midlife Exercising - #41
November 16, 2022 17:18 - 1 hour - 123 MBHow would you like to be ripped in your 50’s and 60’s? Why not? Who says it’s too late? I’m 54 years old, in menopause, and look and feel better now than I did when I was in college. How is that even possible? A lot of work, daily dedication to my vision, and figuring out my optimal lifestyle, which includes nutrition, supplements, bioidentical hormone therapy, restorative sleep, stress management, and, yes, lifting heavy weights multiple times per week. It’s a full-time job staying in shape...

What's Fungi Got To Do With Gut Health? - #40
November 02, 2022 16:01 - 1 hour - 124 MBHealth begins in the gut. If you’re a gardener, then you know that healthy soil is crucial to growing healthy plants. Think of your microbiome as the garden from which your overall health grows. The microbiome is the community of microorganisms, including fungi (the mycobiome), bacteria and viruses, that exist in our digestive tract, skin, mouth, and vagina. These microorganisms change in response to a host of environmental factors, such as stress, exercise, diet, medication, toxins, and ...
A Holistic Approach to Managing ADHD - #39
October 14, 2022 14:42 - 59 minutes - 110 MBADHD looks different in everyone, usually coexisting with other conditions, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, disruptive behavior disorders, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, and substance abuse. There’s a wide spectrum of symptoms. Here are some current stats: It’s estimated that from 2016-2019, kids ages 3-17, 6 million were diagnosed with ADHD. 50% of those also had a behavioral disorder 30% had anxiety 17% had depression 77% of these kids received some type of treatment ADH...
Breast Cancer, Hormone Therapy & Lifestyle - #38
October 06, 2022 20:55 - 1 hour - 128 MBThe aftermath of the Women's Health Initiative (1990s), left millions of women confused and scared about their risk of developing breast cancer if they used hormone therapy. The science was later debunked due to the study's flaws, but the dark cloud of fear still reigns. Can we undo the damage? October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I am celebrating my mother, a breast cancer survivor, and all the women (and men) who’ve battled this terrible disease. In 1991, the National Heart, Lun...
What is a Health Coach? - #37
September 14, 2022 01:37 - 1 hour - 145 MBHealth coaching dates as far back as the 1960s. Today, there are over 128,000 health coaches in the US certified by hundreds of programs. We can be found in hospital settings, doctors' offices, corporations, health insurance companies, spas, local and state government agencies, and working as independent business owners, like myself. Health coaches write cookbooks, diet & lifestyle books, their personal journey books, and host podcasts, like me again. Health coaches come in all different fl...
Red Light Therapy to Optimize Your Health - #36
August 30, 2022 23:01 - 1 hour - 133 MBPhotobiomodulation, light therapy, low-level laser therapy, and red light therapy all mean the same thing and act on the mitochondria within all of our cells to create more energy. Healthy cells that produce more ATP, our energy currency, mean healthier everything. Benefits include growing more hair, boosting cell proliferation, repairing tissues, reducing inflammation, gut health, skin health, regulating the circadian rhythm, increasing energy, regulating mood, improving blood flow, and so...
Men's Health: The Testosterone Edition - #35
July 25, 2022 17:14 - 1 hour - 123 MBToday, I am focusing on men’s health, specifically testosterone. About 40-45% of men over 45 years old have low testosterone, or low “T”. Younger men can also experience low T, even when in their 20’s. Low testosterone levels are correlated with poor nutrition, age, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, alcohol or drug use, prescription drug use, exposure to toxins, stress, and genetics. There are serious health risks associated with low T, such as an increase in cardiovascular disease, osteop...
Turning Hair Loss into Hair Growth - #34
July 10, 2022 21:41 - 1 hour - 140 MBIf you’re experiencing hair loss, this episode is for you. I have suffered for over 20 years with on-again, off-again, female pattern hair loss, or Androgenic Alopecia. This type of hair loss in men and women is generally caused by hormonal changes, aging, and genetics. Hormonal changes in women could be triggered by using birth control, going through menopause, and taking Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). In fact, most women experience h...
Thyroid Disease 101 - #33
June 19, 2022 22:12 - 1 hour - 124 MBConventional medicine and functional medicine approaches butt heads when it comes to optimizing the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland situated at the base of the front of your neck, just below your Adam's apple, and controls your metabolism, or how your body converts the food you eat into energy the body can use, such as regulating how fast your heart beats, how deep you breathe, and whether or not you lose or gain weight. The thyroid can also regulate body temper...
The Red Light Therapy, Hair Loss to Hair Growth Connection- #32
June 08, 2022 01:53 - 55 minutes - 102 MBHair loss affects well over 100 million people. For men, it’s more socially acceptable to lose your hair, although I’m sure most men would like to have hair. For women, not so much. Women want a full head of hair. When we start seeing it shed, thin, and lose its volume, and see our hairline moving, it’s terrifying. And, not just because of how it looks and feels, but because we know that something deeper is causing it. And, that loss of control is heart-wrenching. We literally put the future...
