I promise. You need to get your picture taken.  In this episode I share the mic with my photographer, Laura Benn. We share an intimate conversation about how to get comfortable getting your picture taken and why it’s so important that you do.  Whether you’re in business and need photos for your branding, you’ve avoid family photography or you just need to create more memories, this episo...

There are a few things that would happen in a one-to-one appointment with patients that change how successful they are. Your health hinges on your ability to execute your habits, and yet we have such difficulty making change.  Here are some new ideas.  In this episode, we talk about my first course, The Pillars of Perimenopause , which is a habit change challenge slash educational progra...

In this week’s episode, we discuss where ‘root cause’ medicine comes from and where things have gone wrong.  I share my insights for how treating the root cause can look like Addressing the risk factors that set you up for a chronic condition  Treating co-morbidities to help improve your health status  Making changes to your lifestyle to reduce your future need for medication or the...

As the youngest of 8 kids, Dr. Sharon Malone watched her mother navigate the world with good old common sense. When she became a gynecologist, author and the health-advocate for thousands of women she took the exact same approach.  Cited as the “first person I turn to for a whole host of issues, especially my health” by Michelle Obama, Sharon has a mission of taking information that used to “...

If we ask a room full of women what their greatest health risk is they either can’t answer, or answer breast cancer.  If we ask people what a typical heart patient looks like, they often have an immediate vision of a man.  If we cram women’s health into a 7-minute health appointment, we probably aren’t asking her about her pregnancy history.  This, is the bad news of women’s heart h...

We’ve had a lot of opportunities to do an episode on biohacking. We probably get asked 4-5 times per week to host someone on the show who has a product, supplement, lab test or wearable that they want to talk about.  We’ve pretty much always said no.  Why? Biohacking falls into this weird category of health and wellness that isn’t really evidence-based. It’s so “cutting edge” and so “ahe...

If you’ve ever been told you have heartburn, have been medicated for heartburn (and maybe still are) or have wondered if you have heartburn - this episode was recorded just for you.    I’m joined by my colleague and friend, Dr. Dominique Vanier, ND who has been an instrumental part of the education team at The Confident Clinician in the last year, educating more than 700 clinicians about...

In today’s episode, we talk about an important phrase in women’s health   “Listen to your body”   We’re going to break down when you should actually listen to your body and when listening to your body is actually getting in your way of progress.    Exercise is an amazing example, given that when we study exercise, we actually make the participants do the exercise. We don’t ask...

Today’s episode was brought to you by the Modern Menopause Summit. With over 40 topics covered, you need to be there!. You can register for your free ticket here.    In today’s episode, I share the mic with my friend and colleague, Dr. Dolores Fernandez, a Naturopathic Doctor and the owner of Iris personal care products (lube and vaginal moisturizer!)   We talk about the importance...

  Everyone is touched by Menopause in one way or another.    It might be you, your partner or your mother.    Over the last year, I've been working on a project with 25 of the industry's best menopause practitioners to bring you a week-long, completely free event to help you learn about the most recent science around supporting people in menopause.    We'll be co...

In today's podcast, we discuss the evidence for changing mammogram guidelines to include women in their 4th decade (40-50). I open with a new promise to bring you more authentic conversations on evidence (and more calling out of the bs online). We also talk about how to make decisions about screening for yourself (and why we are in favour of the breast cancer screening guidelines). I hope you enjo...

"What supplements do you take, Jordan?" This is one of the most common questions I get asked on social media. I will give you the answer, but we will also talk about why you're asking in the first place.  Wellness behaviours and nutrition have this weird space in medicine where we expect to get our answers online, our advice from friends or our hairstylist and personalized recommendations fro...

In this episode, we talk about 5 really simple strategies to improve your PMS that are absolutely FREE. Hormonal health is an important area that is often poorly addressed in conventional care. Understanding and supporting your own PMS symptoms can give you back quality of life.  In the episode we talk about What it means if you suddenly get PMS in your 40s.  The biggest pressure on your...

This episode is about the first period. Many of you have young pre-menstruators and menstruators in your life who would benefit from you knowing the ins and outs of puberty and what to look for around that first period.  Teens, unfortunately, often have their symptoms chalked up to a "normal teen experience," whether they have a delayed first period, significant acne or rapid changes to body...

In this birthday episode, I'm sharing the things I'm noticing about myself as I turn 42 (like how sore I am every day mostly) and talking about the things I'm no longer tolerating about myself this year.  We often hear the narrative of people over 40 "not tolerating any more bs" from others, but in my opinion, the buck needs to stop with me first. So I've created a list of things that I'm no...

This episode is about goal setting for 2024 and taking back the word "obsession" as a positive and aspirational trait that helps people actually achieve what they desire.  Since the pandemic, we've had to create such high degrees of self-compassion that we've lost the ability to pursue a goal relentlessly.  Is it bad if you miss a kid's event to stay the course on your gym goals? Is it n...
