  • 144: The evolutionary approach to midlife + menopause with Jenny Powers
    Send us a textIn this episode, host Ann Marie McQueen chats with Jenny Powers, scientist, writer, athlete and co-author of On the Origin of Being, about how modern society has veered far from the evolutionary way of living –  and how that’s impacting our health, particularly for women in midlife.Jenny, a scientist with a PhD in microbiology and immunology, discusses how our biology has been shaped over millennia and why the mismatch between modern life and our evolved needs might be making perimenopause and menopause more challenging than they need to be.The conversation explores topics like nutrition, movement, sleep, light exposure, stress, and the role of community. Jenny shares her own journey through perimenopause, revealing the lifestyle changes that helped her eliminate symptoms including hot flashes, headaches, and inflammation.Could returning to our evolutionary roots be the ultimate biohack? Tune in to find out!Episode Highlights:🔹 Jenny shares how her experience as a scientist shaped her approach to perimenopause. 🔹 Evolutionary mismatch: Why modern women struggle with menopause more than our ancestors did. 🔹 The rise of modern diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. 🔹 How our disconnect from our bodies (thanks to tech and nonstop stimulation) affects our health. 🔹 Mythbusting: Did women really die at 50 in the past? (Spoiler: No!) 🔹 The lifestyle changes that eliminated Jenny’s perimenopausal symptoms.Powerful Quote from Jenny Powers"I feel like I've unlocked the secret of how to live longer—and actually enjoy it. Everyone says life is over after 50, but I’ve had more energy, more joy, and even a better sex drive just by making small changes. I don't have hot flashes anymore, I don't have headaches, and I don't have inflammation. It’s not about fighting aging—it’s about working with our biology the way nature intended."Thank you to our sponsor Timeline NutritionMitopure supports cellular energy and longevity—now available with a 10% discount!

  • 140: Unpacking estrogen: myths, realities and menopause and midlife health with Lara Briden
    Send us a textIn this episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, host Ann Marie McQueen is joined by naturopathic doctor and women’s health expert, Lara Briden. With decades of clinical experience, she is the author of three books: Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and her newest release, Metabolism Repair for Women. Lara’s work focuses on empowering women with evidence-based knowledge to navigate their hormonal health, including through perimenopause and menopause. Together, they unravel the intricate world of estrogen, its role in women’s lives and how it connects to the challenges and opportunities of midlife health. From estrogen metabolism to hormone therapy myths and best practices, Lara provides actionable insights and science-backed advice to empower women on their health journeys.Key topics: Why estrogen is both celebrated and misunderstood.The evolution of hormone therapy and what’s changed since the Women’s Health Initiative.How progesterone fits into the midlife health equation.The relationship between estrogen metabolism, gut health, and lifestyle factors like diet and alcohol.Lara’s perspective on a renewed need to find  balance in modern hormone therapiesExplainer: Dr Ray Peat, who passed away in 2022,  was an American biologist and researcher, and he believed metabolism was a foundation of health – helping to spawn the pro-metabolic movement. He was a progesterone researcher who believed estrogen is an inflammatory stress hormone that causes more health problems than it helps. The term we spoke about where you feel you need more and more of something that is actually making you feel worse is tachyphylaxis, and it's something that the British Menopause Society issued a warning about in 2023.When Lara mentions a “four-fold” increase in dementia risks, she is referring to studies associated with heavy, long-term use. Other studies have found lower risks.
