Menopause & Type 1 Diabetics: HRT, Testing, and Blood Sugar Control- Melissa Slemp
Nov 10, 2025·—
—
Do you live with type 1 diabetes and finding that menopause is different for you? Or do you just want to learn more about the differences of type 1 and type 2? Then this episode is for you. Today's guest, Melissa Slemp, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was only 14 years old back in 1982, when managing the condition looked very different. After decades of navigating blood sugar highs and lows, and then later entering perimenopause, Melissa began noticing massive shifts in how her hormones affected her insulin needs, energy, and mood. Now, she's on a mission to change the conversation for women like her who are trying to manage both diabetes and menopause. We cover: Melissa's type 1 diabetes diagnosis story and what management looked like in the early 80s The key differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes Why menopause can totally wreak havoc on blood sugar regulation How hormonal fluctuations impact insulin needs and energy levels…and diabetics can witness this with their own eyes, just looking at their data and insulin needs. We talked about the role of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in improving glucose control and how it's different for those with type 1 Melissa Slemp is a functional health coach, host of the podcast Type 1 in Midlife, and advocate for women with type 1 diabetes navigating the complexities of hormonal change. She helps women regain stability, energy, and confidence through a holistic approach that combines lifestyle, nutrition, and bioidentical hormone therapy.

Facelift Secrets, Menopause and Aging Gracefully – Expert Insights from Dr. Carolyn Chang
Oct 24, 2025·—
—
Ever wondered how women like Kris Jenner seem to age in reverse – and what's really going on behind those flawless "facelifts"? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carolyn Chang, one of San Francisco's top plastic surgeons, to break down what's fact, what's finesse, and what's just good timing. From menopause to maintenance, Dr. Chang pulls back the curtain on how aging really works, and why starting earlier might actually be the key to aging gracefully. If you've ever debated a little "tweak" or simply want to understand the science of facial rejuvenation, this one's for you. In this episode, we cover: Kris Jenner's latest facelift - what was really done (and why it worked). Why early intervention can lead to more natural, lasting results. How genetics, lifestyle, and maintenance all shape how we age. The powerful role of estrogen and menopause in facial aging. Top non-surgical treatments to refresh skin texture, tone, and elasticity. What to know before going under the knife and how AI and robotics are shaping the future of aesthetic surgery. Dr. Carolyn Chang is a board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon based in San Francisco and is known as one of the nation's leading experts in natural-looking facial rejuvenation, including the deep plane facelift, complex breast surgery, and body contouring tailored to post-menopausal and post-pregnancy changes. Every year she makes it to Castle Connolly's Best Doctors list, and her work has been widely featured in the media. You probably already came across her work. Harper's Bazaar named her to its Hot List of the 24 Best Beauty Surgeons in the country, and W Magazine recognized her as a top surgeon for revisional work. She's been on shows like The Doctors, CNN, and National Geographic, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker.

Oct 20, 2025·—

Ever feel stuck in "fight or flight" mode no matter how much you meditate, sleep, or eat well? You're not alone, your vagus nerve might be the missing link. This powerful nerve connects your brain to nearly every organ in your body and influences everything from mood and inflammation to digestion and hormones. Today, I'm joined by "The Vagus Nerve Doc", a functional medicine expert Dr. Navaz Habib to decode the science of the vagus nerve and show you how to strengthen it naturally for better resilience, hormone balance, and longevity. In this episode we dive into: What the vagus nerve really does and why it's key to your "rest and digest" response How chronic stress keeps your immune system stuck in inflammation mode The 4 types of stress that quietly sabotage vagus nerve function Why heart rate variability (HRV) is the ultimate measure of nervous system health The "VAGUS" protocol to optimize brain-body communication and lower inflammation How mindset, breath work, and nutrition support vagus nerve function during menopause Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," is a best-selling author of 2 books - "Activate Your Vagus Nerve" and "Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve" and host of The Health Upgrade Podcast. After using functional medicine to overcome his own health challenges, Dr. Habib built Health Upgraded, an online health program implementing his VAGUS protocol, to guide parents and professionals to enhance their health by unlocking the healing power of the Vagus nerve to reduce the effects of stress and inflammation.

Perimenopause, Depression, and the One Thing That Saved Her Life - Shelly Horton
Oct 13, 2025·—

Is perimenopause depression real? Yes, and it's finally being talked about. In today's episode, I sit down with journalist and TV presenter turned author, Shelly Horton, who shares her deeply personal journey through perimenopause, depression, and the turning points that helped her reclaim her life. Her honesty, humor, and fierce advocacy will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to take action for your own health. We cover: How Shelly pivoted from being a well-known TV presenter to writing her new book I'm Your Peri-Godmother Why she never connected depression to menopause until it nearly cost her everything The one thing that probably saved her life (and could save yours too) Her personal strategies to overcome depression and live her best life today The role of support and HRT in her recovery Her campaign in Australian Parliament for GP education, workplace policies, and affordable HRT access What she wants every woman to know if you're struggling through perimenopause or menopause Shelly Horton is an Australian journalist, TV presenter, and women's health advocate whose career spans ABC, Channel Seven, and Channel Nine. Her own perimenopause journey sparked her mission to smash the stigma around menopause and inspired her bestselling book I'm Your Peri-Godmother: A Happily-Ever-After Guide to Kicking Perimenopause in the Ovaries. The book sold out on Amazon day one, and hit number one in the menopause category for four weeks. Shelly also co-founded Don't Sweat It – Peri & Menopause, a workplace training company helping organizations better support women through the menopause transition. Beyond advocacy, she runs ShellShocked Media, where she teaches leaders and entrepreneurs how to own the stage, show up on social media, and speak with impact.
