Ep: 53 - Season 1 Finale: Becoming the Person We Envision Video 24.06.2026

Today marks the final episode of Season 1, and we're taking a moment to look back at where it all began.

Over the past year of podcasting together, we've explored that question from many different angles. Again and again, we've come back to one important truth: our daily habi...

Ep: 52 - Autoimmune Disease Isn't Random: Understanding the Midlife Connection Video 17.06.2026

Why do so many women seem to develop autoimmune conditions during midlife? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between perimenopause, hormones, stress, the nervous system, gut health, and autoimmunity. With nearly 80% of autoimmune diseases occurring in women, this isn't just coincidence, it's a pattern worth understanding. We break down why conditions like Hashimoto's, rheumatoid...

In this episode, we're diving into burnout through the lens of perimenopause and midlife—a season where hormonal shifts collide with careers, caregiving, family responsibilities, and the invisible mental load so many women carry every day. We break down: • What burnout actually is (and why it's more than just stress) • How cortisol, sleep, and the nervous system become disrupted • Why perimenopaus...

Ep 50: Heavy Periods, Rage & Weight Gain? It Might Not Be "Just Perimenopause" Video 03.06.2026

In this episode of What's My Age Again? , we're unpacking one of the most misunderstood hormonal shifts of perimenopause: estrogen dominance. While many women assume their symptoms are caused by declining estrogen, progesterone often drops first, creating an imbalance that can lead to heavy periods, breast tenderness, mood swings, anxiety, migraines, weight gain, poor sleep, and more. We explore w...

Ep: 49 - The Magnesium Confusion: When the Anti-Stress Mineral is Stressing You Out! Video 27.05.2026

From anxiety and sleep to constipation, brain fog, hormones,...

Ep: 47 - The Meal Prep Paradox: Your Fridge is Full of Good Intentions, But your still Calling for Takeout by Wednesday (Here's Why) Video 13.05.2026

If meal prep worked the way people say it does… you wouldn’t still be ordering takeout halfway through the week. You plan, shop, prep—your fridge is full of good intentions. And then real life hits. You’re tired, overwhelmed, short on time… and suddenly nothing you made sounds good or feels doable. So you grab something quick, skip meals, or order takeout—again. In this episode, we’re breaking dow...

Ep: 46 - The Hidden Reason You're Exhausted, Not Sleeping, and Holding Weight Video 06.05.2026

How often do you pick up your phone without even thinking? In this episode, we’re diving into a missing piece of health: how constant stimulation from your phone and devices may be impacting your nervous system, hormones, sleep, and ability to detox. Because detox isn’t just about food or supplements, it’s about whether your body feels safe enough to function properly. And when you’re always “on,”...

Ep: 45 - Perimenopause Power Tool - Why Creatine Deserves a Spot in Your Routine Video 29.04.2026

Creatine has long been labeled as a “gym bro” supplement—but emerging research is telling a very different story, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Ep: 42 - Stop Handing Over Your Health Video 08.04.2026

Advocating for your health is one of the most powerful and foundational steps in any healing journey.

Ep 41: Collagen - Is It Worth The Hype? Video 01.04.2026

Collagen is everywhere right now—powders, coffees, skincare—but is it actually doing anything, or is it just another wellness trend?

From choosing a prep style that works for you...

Ep 37: How to Manage Seasonal Allergies Before Allergy Season Starts Video 04.03.2026

Ep 36: Pelvic Floor Health in Perimenopause: Key Symptoms, Hormonal Changes & Optimization — with Sarah Symmes Video 25.02.2026

Ep 30: Is Fear The Real Reason For Your Excuses? Video 14.01.2026

In this episode, we unpack a major piece we realized we’d overlooked: fear . Beneath most excuses isn’t laziness or lack of discipline—it’s fear quietly calling the shots.

From fear of failure and being seen to fear of success, change, and the unknown, we break down...

Ep: 29 How Life Changes When We Stop Making Excuses Video 07.01.2026
