16 Jun 2022Episode #54: Energy Healing with Wendie Coulter in Perimenopause and Menopause00:25:04

In this podcast, Andrea interviews Wendie Coulter, a certified medical intuitive, master certified wellness coach, and Founder and CEO of the Practical Path. She helps others tune into their medical intuition. Wendi is also published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine and is the author of the groundbreaking book Essentials of Medical Intuition: A Visionary Path to Wellness.

She talks about the biofield or chakras/auras we all have and their ability to store information about our health. This reflection of our energy can help us release the root causes of our health issues.

She teaches other health and wellness professionals, medical intuition and she teaches public workshops for us to gain a better understanding of our own health.  You can tap into feeling intuition, knowing intuition, hearing intuition, and mind's eye visualization. She also teaches you how to practice good intuition hygiene to ground yourself so you aren't overwhelmed by others' feelings.

Working with our past trauma, anxiety, and mood swings in perimenopause and menopause can help us create a mind-body connection and have a conversation with our body about what we are going through.

Medical Intuitives, don't diagnose medical conditions and you should see your medical professional with the information you learn from medical intuitive.

You can learn more about Wendie and her programs here.

14 Jun 2022Episode #52: Menopause Support with Andrea Donsky00:32:04

UPDATED: If you are listening to this after June 23rd,  2022 please go to www.wearemorphus.com for more resources.

Andrea is joined by Lisa Davis, her co-host on Health Power Podcast,  to offer you menopause support and to talk about her upcoming The Menopause Shift Summit: Discover The Secrets to Feeling Great, Taking Control, and Thriving Through Menopause.

Did you know that you will feel symptoms of menopause before you stop your menstrual period?

Did you know that your symptoms - like hot flashes - aren’t, in fact, random?

Did you know that menopause is a PROCESS, not a one-time hormonal event…one that can take years of symptoms, struggles, and stress over what’s happening to your body?

Menopause mostly deserves the bad reputation it has. But it doesn’t HAVE to be that way.

The first step is understanding what’s happening to your body - and then you can discover how your symptoms and the changes you’re experiencing can be managed.

So you can keep living withOUT suffering!

That’s why I asked my friend Ann Marie McQueen to join me in hosting the B-I-G-G-E-S-T event focused solely on menopause.

It’s called:

The Menopause Shift Summit: Discover The Secrets to Feeling Great, Taking Control, and Thriving Through Menopause

June 21st - 23rd, 2022

The best part? You’re invited - and we have a complimentary ticket for you!

All you have to do is head to https://wearemorphus.com/summit and register for your no-charge seat.

You’ll have access to over FORTY experts, from different disciplines…and they’re all talking about how you can feel better and take back control of what’s happening in your body right now.

Her last book,  How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kids was published in 12 languages. She's a frequent contributor to the New York Times, Vogue, and Health.

She was a columnist at GQ and at O, the Oprah magazine. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, the author Tim Vanderbilt and their daughter, and now she's the author of Hot and Bothered, What No One Tells You About Menopause, and How to Feel Like Yourself Again.

[7:10] Jancee mentions the factors contributing to the slow progress in addressing menopause, including racism, ageism, sexism, and lack of research funding.

Andrea Donsky is a nutritionist, menopause educator, researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphous.com. In this interview, she talks with Dr. Michelle May a former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, and founder of amihungry.com. She facilitates mindful eating programs and training for practitioners. She is also an associate professor at Arizona State University.

Key Takeaways from the Podcast

- Andrea Donsky and Dr. Michelle May discuss their shared experiences of growing up in an era focused on weight loss, calorie counting, and dieting.
- Mindful eating is defined as eating with intention and attention, focusing on internal cues of hunger, satiety, enjoyment, and satisfaction rather than external rules or restrictions.
- Mindful eating is similar to intuitive eating, with both approaches emphasizing an "inside-out" process of reconnecting with the body's natural signals1.
- Emotional and mindless eating are common challenges, often triggered by stress, boredom, or other unmet needs. Pausing to check in with physical, mental, and emotional states can help identify the root cause.
- Strategies for mindful eating include: 
 - Pausing to check in on physical hunger cues, thoughts, and emotions before eating
 - Redirecting attention to other activities when not physically hungry
 - Exploring the underlying reasons for wanting to eat, such as boredom or stress, and finding alternative ways to address those needs
 - Using deep breathing to calm the nervous system before eating
- Avoid using exercise as punishment or to "earn" the right to eat, as this can create an unhealthy relationship with food and movement.

14 Jun 2024Ep #103: Tackling Weight Gain in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Lara Briden00:45:36

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, Menopause Educator, and co-founder of Morphus, talks to Dr. Lara Briden about weight gain and changes in metabolism in perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Briden's latest book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" (also titled "The Metabolism Reset" in some regions), aims to dispel the shame and reframe discussions around body weight management during perimenopause and menopause.

Metabolic dysfunction can occur regardless of body size, and perimenopause and menopause are times of significant metabolic upheaval. The podcast explores the connection between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), insulin resistance, and menopause.

Cortisol Calm Bundle

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, host Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, and Menopause Educator and co-founder of Morphus, interviews Dr. Joanne Manson, a renowned expert in women's health. The interview focuses on the critical topic of heart disease during perimenopause and menopause.

Episode Overview

  • Navigating Menopause: Andrea highlights the importance of understanding that menopause is a lifelong phase, similar to puberty. Women often mistakenly believe they are "past" menopause, but it remains a significant aspect of their health journey.
  • Heart Disease Risks: The episode emphasizes that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, with risk factors increasing even before menopause. Dr. Manson discusses how lifestyle changes during this transition can help mitigate these risks.
  • Nutrition and Lifestyle Choices: Andrea and Dr. Manson stress the importance of a nutrient-rich diet, regular exercise, and effective stress management techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, to support heart health during menopause.
  • Blood Pressure Awareness: Andrea shares a personal story about her mother's blood pressure issues, leading to a discussion on the implications of high blood pressure and its connection to heart disease.
  • Understanding Cholesterol: Dr. Manson explains the complexities of cholesterol levels, discussing the significance of LDL and HDL cholesterol. She clarifies that while lower LDL is generally favorable, the context of overall health and other risk factors is crucial.

27 Sep 2024Ep #116: Strength Matters: Lift Heavy Sh*t with Melissa Hyde00:56:23

In episode #116 of "Menopause Reimagined," Andrea Donsky chats with Melissa Hyde, a fitness expert, about the power of weightlifting for women in perimenopause and menopause. With over 35 years of experience, Melissa shares her insights on how strength training can enhance overall health and help with weight gain, longevity/healthspan, and quality of life for midlife women.

This episode highlights the critical importance of incorporating strength training into midlife women's fitness routines. By dispelling common myths and emphasizing the health benefits associated with weightlifting, Andrea and Melissa aim to inspire listeners to embrace a more active lifestyle for better health outcomes during menopause.

Key Takeaways

The Need for Strength Training:
Women lose muscle mass and bone density as early as 30, losing 3-5% per decade. By age 80, this could lose up to 30% of muscle mass if not addressed through strength training.

Myth-Busting Weightlifting:
Many women fear becoming "bulky" from lifting weights. Melissa emphasizes that building significant muscle mass requires dedicated training and is not a concern for most women.

Health Benefits of Muscle Mass:

Increased muscle mass is linked to improved longevity, cognitive health, and reduced risk of falls and fractures. Strength training helps maintain independence as women age.

Recommended Training Frequency:
Melissa suggests that midlife women use strength training 2-4 times per week, focusing on proper form and gradually increasing intensity.

Connection Between Muscle and Bone Health:
Lifting weights applies force on bones, promoting bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

25 Oct 2024Ep #120: The Hidden Dangers Of Air Pollution In Our Homes00:52:52

In this conversation, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist and soon-to-be Published Menopause Researcher, speaks with Mike Feldstein, founder of Jaspr and an air quality expert. They discuss the significant issue of indoor air pollution, which can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the U.S. EPA. People spend 90% of their time indoors, so understanding and improving indoor air quality is crucial.


Key Points

  • Indoor Air Pollution Sources: Common pollutants include cleaning products, smoke, off-gassing from new furniture and electronics, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Cooking is identified as the largest source of indoor pollution.
  • Air Composition: Air consists mainly of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (20%), with trace gases. The importance of clean air is likened to how fish rely on clean water for survival.
  • Impact of Renovations: Andrew shares his experience renovating his home with eco-friendly materials to avoid off-gassing pollutants. He emphasizes the lingering effects of indoor pollutants after renovations.
  • Ventilation Importance: Effective ventilation is essential to reduce indoor pollutants. Many homes have poorly functioning vents that do not vent air outside, which can exacerbate air quality issues.
  • Practical Solutions: Regular vent maintenance and proper cooking techniques can help improve indoor air quality. Mike suggests annual deep cleaning as a good practice for maintaining a healthy environment.
  • Sleep quality. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and discomfort, disrupting sleep. A study by Jaspr, showed that improving air quality led to individuals sleeping on average 25 more minutes per night, experiencing 18% more deep sleep, and falling asleep 5% faster. 

Overall, the episode highlights the need for greater awareness and proactive measures regarding indoor air quality to enhance health and well-being.

07 Feb 2025Ep #133: Defy Aging with Nutrition & Supplements in Perimenopause & Menopause with Dr. Greg Kelly00:43:31

In this sponsored interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of Morphus, discusses senolytics with Dr. Gregory Kelly - Director of Product Development at Qualia Life Sciences, naturopathic physician, and author of "Shape Shift."

Women in perimenopause and menopause should explore the benefits of senolytics for cellular aging because of the impact on their menopausal symptoms and overall health. During menopause, there's an accelerated accumulation of senescent cells (zombie cells) in the body, which can trigger inflammation, joint pain, and other age-related issues that make menopausal symptoms more challenging to manage. Understanding these changes helps women take steps to help them feel better and improve their long-term health. Senolytics are used only a couple of days a month, but the benefits can be felt, especially as shown by the studies done on joint pain.

Key Points:

  • Explore how cellular aging affects women during perimenopause and menopause.
  • When cells have trouble producing energy and the body's repair cells decline, menopausal symptoms can become more severe.
  • Discover what senescent cells ("zombie cells") are and why they accumulate more after menopause.
  • Learn how senolytic compounds can help remove accumulated senescent cells contributing to joint pain and other issues.
  • Understand why an intermittent approach to senolytics (2 days per month) is more effective than daily supplementation.
  • Get practical tips for using senolytics safely and effectively during your menopause journey.
