What if everything you’ve been told about menopause… is incomplete? 
What if the weight gain, mood swings, and hormonal chaos aren’t problems to fix—but signals guiding you toward your most powerful, grounded, and authentic self? 
 
Menopause isn’t the end of vitality—it’s the beginning of wisdom. 
In this deeply insightful and empowering episode, naturopath and author Brenda Rogers reframes menopause as a natural, transformative stage of life rather than a condition to “fix.” Drawing from decades of experience in holistic health, she explores how hormonal shifts, emotional patterns, and societal expectations intersect during midlife—and how women can navigate them with clarity and compassion. 
You’ll discover why traditional approaches to weight management often fail during menopause, and how healing your relationship with food, body, and self is the true foundation for lasting wellness. Brenda shares practical insights into nourishing your body with whole, natural foods, regulating stress and hormones, and embracing a new rhythm of living that aligns with your changing physiology. 
But this conversation goes beyond the physical. It dives into the emotional and spiritual awakening that often accompanies menopause—inviting women to step into a phase of deeper self-awareness, inner authority, and purpose. 
Whether you're approaching menopause, in the midst of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing, holistic perspective that honors the intelligence of the body and the wisdom of life’s transitions.

Is your child restless at night, snoring, or grinding their teeth? What if those sounds are silent signals of deeper airway and jaw development issues? Discover how early intervention can transform sleep, behavior, and lifelong health. 

Snoring isn’t just noise—it’s a warning sign. In this episode of me&my health up, host Anthony Hartcher sits down with Dr. Shereen Lim, one of Australia’s pioneering dental sleep medicine specialists, to uncover the hidden links between mouth breathing, jaw development, and childhood wellbeing. 
Dr. Lim explains why silent, nasal breathing during sleep is essential, how poor oral function in infancy can shape lifelong health, and why “convenience culture” (pacifiers, pouch foods, reduced breastfeeding) may be costing our children vitality. Parents will learn practical signs to watch for—like teeth grinding, bedwetting, or restless sleep—and discover holistic pathways to support thriving growth. 
This conversation is a wake-up call for parents, caregivers, and anyone concerned about the long-term impact of sleep and breathing disturbances. 

About Dr. Shereen Lim 
Dr. Shereen Lim is a Perth-based dentist with over 25 years of experience and one of Australia’s first dentists to qualify in dental sleep medicine. Her passion lies in helping children overcome challenges with infant feeding, swallowing, breathing, chewing, and speech through a collaborative team approach to tongue tie management and promoting good oral function and jaw development. 
She emphasises that when oral function and jaw growth are off track in childhood, it impacts airway development, breathing, sleep, and overall growth. By addressing the root causes of poor oral function early, Dr. Lim helps unlock better airway health, restorative sleep, and lifelong vitality. 
Most of what she practices today wasn’t taught in dental school—it comes from learning across disciplines and connecting dots with world-leading experts. Her holistic, integrative approach advances collaboration between professions, ensuring patients receive care that goes beyond surface fixes to lasting solutions.
