  • The Vagus Nerve Explained – How to Reset Stress, Reduce Inflammation & Heal Naturally with Dr. Navaz Habib
    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.   CONTACT Instagram: https://instagram.comm/drnavazhabib  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrNavazHabib1  Website: www.healthupgraded.com Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  • Menopause Weight Gain With HRT, Progesterone Without A Uterus, Hormone Therapy for 60+ - Karen Martel
    Is it possible to make sense of all the conflicting advice on hormones in midlife? In this second part of our Ask Us Anything series, my meno bestie Karen Martel and I sit down to tackle your biggest questions about hormone health, menopause, and beyond. Karen is a Certified Hormone Specialist, Transformational Nutrition Coach, and host of The Hormone Solution Podcast. She’s also walking through the menopause transition herself, which makes her perspective both expert and personal. Together, we dive deep into what the labs really mean, how to use hormones wisely, and what else women can do to protect their bones, brains, and hearts. We cover: How to interpret hormone test results like FSH and estradiol (and why “optimal” matters more than “normal”) The role of sauna use in detoxification and hormone health (plus our personal routines) Why progesterone is powerful for mood, sleep, and bone health, even without a uterus What to consider if you’re starting HRT later in life Strategies to support bone health beyond just HRT, and why DEXA scans don’t tell the whole story The importance of personalizing your approach with a trusted provider   RECOMMENDED EPISODES Sauna Use In Menopause: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/160-traditional-saunas-vs-infrared-saunas-for-menopause/id1531105768?i=1000626673903 Birth Control Truths In Menopause: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/harmful-effects-of-the-birth-control-pill/id1438772276?i=1000434176120  DUTCH Test Deep Dive: https://youtu.be/O_1Lp4bST5k?si=pctt57mfxdXD7bUR Weight Gain and HRT: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/217-estrogen-weight-gain-myth-or-truth-rowan-sanderson/id1531105768?i=1000665860209 HRT For Women 60+: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/starting-hrt-more-than-10-years-after-menopause-what/id1438772276?i=1000721295236 Progesterone Sensitivity: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/progesterone-hrt-sensitivity-pmdd-when-the-chill-pill/id1788570953?i=1000725275936   Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  • Perimenopause, Depression, and the One Thing That Saved Her Life - Shelly Horton
    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.   Book: https://geni.us/ImYourPeriGodmother  Audible: https://shorturl.at/z73IY  Free peri resources: https://shellshockedmedia.com/im-your-peri-godmother/   Contact Shelly Horton Website: https://shellshockedmedia.com Website: https://dontsweatit.com.au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shellyhorton1/ Instagram Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shellyhortonjournalist/ Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
