Not Your Mother's Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely

If you have tried every diet, every supplement, and every stress management trick only to find yourself still battling bloating, brain fog, or unexplained anxiety, this conversation is for you. In this re-air of a listener-favorite episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Tina Anderson, a former pharmaceutical insider who left the world of conventional medicine to build something different. After witnessing firsthand how the system prioritizes disease management over true health, Tina and her husband created a company rooted in a radical idea: real wellness starts in the gut. Tina and Dr. Lovely explore the often misunderstood connection between the microbiome and mental health, revealing how inflammation, leaky gut, and even joint pain can trace their roots back to digestive imbalances. They challenge the toxic "Stress Badge of Honour" that so many women wear, arguing that feeling peaceful is not a luxury but a biological necessity. The discussion covers how supporting gut health can build genuine resilience, improve mood, and offer new tools for managing the anxiety and depression that frequently accompany perimenopause and menopause—areas where conventional medicine has often fallen short. For anyone struggling with persistent digestive issues, chronic inflammation, or mental health challenges that won't budge, this episode offers a fresh, science-informed path forward rooted in the wisdom of the microbiome.

In this profoundly moving and eye-opening episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back Dr. Tammy O'Rourke, a Nurse Practitioner with a PhD and a leading voice in hormone health. While their last conversation focused on advocating for patients, this time, Dr. O'Rourke shares a harrowing personal health journey that began with symptoms easily dismissed as menopausal—bloating, fatigue, and reflux. What followed was a terrifying navigation of a healthcare system that seemed designed to fail her, despite her own expertise. Dr. O'Rourke details the delays, the dismissals, and the bureaucratic barriers that turned a treatable condition into a stage 3C ovarian cancer diagnosis. Listeners will hear how her intuition, combined with the unwavering advocacy of her husband, led her to seek care in the United States for a specialized CRS HIPEC surgery—a life-saving procedure not readily accessible in Canada. This episode is a powerful testament to the importance of self-advocacy, highlighting the specific risks for women with a history of endometriosis and fibroids. Dr. O'Rourke emphasizes the critical need for women to never give up control of their hormone health, to trust their gut, and to pursue second opinions, even when the system pushes back. It's a story of survival, systemic failure, and the urgent call for better care for all women. In this episode, they talk about: The shocking reality of navigating a universal healthcare system during a cancer crisis How endometriosis and fibroids significantly increase the risk of ovarian cancer The crucial role of the CA-125 blood test and pelvic ultrasound in early detection The life-saving potential of CRS HIPEC surgery and why it's not widely available in Canada Tune in to hear how one of the country's leading hormone experts had to fight for her own life, and learn the steps you can take to ensure you don't get left behind.

In this eagerly anticipated return to the podcast, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back skincare innovator, Debbi Barber, to share her experience treating our menopausal skin and give us her best tips to looking great, no matter your age. Their last conversation became one of the top three most downloaded episodes of last year, and this follow-up promises to be just as transformative. Debbi, who recently celebrated her 70th birthday, shares how a newfound sense of purpose led her from retirement into creating a brand that is redefining skin health. She opens up about her personal journey, including how she used her deep knowledge of peptides to support her recovery from major spinal surgery, demonstrating the powerful role these ingredients play in healing the body from the inside out and on the surface. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of why copper peptides are essential for maintaining collagen, elastin, and skin structure during menopause. Debbi explains the science behind her latest innovation, a revolutionary exosome serum called Vita, which she developed to address stem cell exhaustion—a hallmark of aging. Dr. Lovely shares her own experience with the product, noting how it dramatically improved the texture and firmness of her skin, particularly after weight loss. The conversation covers the gentle yet effective nature of clean skincare, the correct layering techniques for maximum results, and how exosomes work by delivering critical cellular signals to revitalize tired skin. Debbi also discusses the importance of taking care of the skin as the body's largest organ, especially during times of stress or illness. Finally, the conversation also touches on clean beauty standards, the connection between skin health and longevity, and the wisdom of embracing a gentler approach to self-care in midlife and beyond.

In this essential episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely tackles a massive "information vacuum" surrounding some of the most talked-about medications today. With women aged 50–64 now the primary users of GLP-1 and GIP medications, Dr. Lovely steps in to provide the critical nutritional and physiological guidance that is too often missing from the standard prescription process. She clarifies that for millions of women, these are not "vanity tools" but life-changing medicines for treating chronic diseases like obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Lovely breaks down the science behind semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), explaining how they mimic natural hormones to regulate hunger and insulin. However, she warns that simply taking the medication without a support plan is "wishful thinking" that can lead to muscle loss and frailty. To help you thrive while on these medications, she introduces her Six Foundational Pillars of Support: Hydration: Why thirst signals disappear alongside appetite and why 2–3 liters of water daily (plus electrolytes) is your best defense against nausea and fatigue. Protein & Muscle Preservation: The non-negotiable need for high protein intake to prevent sarcopenia and the "trade-off" of metabolic health for physical frailty. Resistance Training: Why you must send a signal to your body to keep its muscle through simple, home-based bodyweight exercises or resistance bands. Fiber: Managing the common side effect of constipation by hitting a 25-gram daily target through food first. Nutrient Gaps: Why eating less means absorbing less, and how a "morning stack" of micronutrients and greens can bridge the gap. Mental & Emotional Support: Preparing for the "emotional surfacing" that happens when food is no longer available as a coping mechanism. This episode is a masterclass in health sovereignty, empowering you to move through the menopausal transition stronger and more resilient, rather than depleted.

If you work with women in midlife, or are navigating it yourself, you have likely heard some version of this before: "I'm doing everything right, but I still feel tired." "My brain feels foggy." "My body doesn't respond the way it used to." In this re-air of a fan-favorite episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with integrative and functional medicine practitioner, Registered Dietician, and Nutritionist Jennifer Scheinman to get to the root of where those changes begin. What often gets overlooked is that midlife shifts are not only about hormones, stress, or lifestyle habits. They are also closely connected to what is happening inside our cells. As we age, our cells naturally produce less energy. This isn't a failure of motivation or discipline—it is biology. When cellular energy declines, it shows up as fatigue, slower recovery, and that frustrating feeling of not quite being yourself. Jen shares the research on how supporting healthy aging means supporting the systems that power the entire body, starting with the mitochondria—the energy-producing structures inside every cell. They discuss why maintaining muscle strength becomes critical, the evolving conversation around fasting for women, and the importance of protein intake. The conversation also covers Urolithin A and its role in mitophagy, the process of cellular renewal, and introduces Mitopure® as a tool to help women feel strong and resilient from the inside out. For anyone looking to age not just longer, but better, this is a foundational conversation on investing in how your body functions, not just how it looks in the moment.

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Dr. Mireille Vega—the chemist and former biotech executive known to many as Dr. Mimi V—for a conversation that completely reframes how we think about our skin. Moving far beyond typical beauty chatter, Dr. Mimi shares her unique philosophy of Skin Science 3.0, a paradigm that treats the skin not as a simple surface to be treated, but as a dynamic, living system. Drawing on her extensive background in immunology and oncology, as well as profound personal experiences, Dr. Mimi V explains why the standard, symptom-focused approach to skincare is often working against us. She guides listeners through the intricate world of the skin's ecosystem, detailing the critical interplay between the skin barrier and its microbiome. Listeners will learn the vital difference between simply treating a breakout and truly supporting the skin's function to build lasting resilience. Dr. Mimi V offers a masterclass in listening to what our skin is telling us, emphasizing that a "squeaky clean" feeling is often a sign of distress. This episode is a powerful invitation to shift from a mindset of correction to one of genuine support, empowering women to trust their skin's innate intelligence.

In this solo episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely delivers an urgent and empowering message about brain health that every woman needs to hear. She breaks down a brand-new research review examining how menopause specifically impacts the female brain, revealing why postmenopausal women account for more than 60 percent of those living with Alzheimer's disease. Rather than leaving listeners with frightening statistics, Dr. Lovely transforms this information into actionable knowledge, explaining exactly how declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone along with inadequate nutrition, stress and aging create a perfect storm for neurodegeneration through increased inflammation, and breakdown of the protective blood-brain barrier. What makes this episode particularly valuable is Dr. Lovely's practical guidance on modifiable risk factors that women can address starting today. She explores the critical connection between the gut microbiome and brain defense systems, offering specific nutritional strategies that support cognitive health during the menopausal transition. Listeners will learn why good protein intake becomes non-negotiable at midlife, which foods deliver the omega-3s, antioxidants, and flavonoids brains desperately need, and how to identify ultra-processed and nutrient-void foods that may be undermining our efforts. Dr. Lovely also addresses timely concerns about popular weight loss medications, explaining why adequate nutrition must remain the priority even when appetite is suppressed. The episode concludes with fascinating news from the research front: hormone replacement therapy has now been shown to reverse many of the inflammatory changes that occur with hormone decline, stabilizing the blood-brain barrier and offering genuine neuroprotective benefits. For any woman who has ever wondered whether her brain health is within her control, this episode provides helpful answers and practical tools to make a meaningful difference.

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with the renowned "Queen of Hormones," Dr. Carrie Jones, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation that cuts through the noise surrounding women's health at midlife. As a Naturopathic Physician with advanced degrees in public health and endocrinology, Dr. Jones brings over two decades of clinical experience to the discussion, offering listeners a masterclass in understanding their own physiology. The conversation explores why Gen X and elder millennial women are uniquely positioned to challenge the status quo when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Jones explains that hormone therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a nuanced process that requires individualized attention, much like finding the perfect skincare routine. She addresses the moving target of hormone optimization, explaining how factors like skin thickness, lifestyle, and even climate can affect absorption and efficacy. Listeners will gain valuable insight into the distinction between early and late perimenopause, why progesterone typically declines first, and how estradiol influences everything from serotonin production to joint health. Dr. Jones also sheds light on the critical connection between declining hormones and mental health, explaining why so many women are misdiagnosed and prescribed antidepressants when what they truly need is hormone support. Throughout the episode, both hosts emphasize the importance of testing to understand what's actually happening under the hood rather than relying on guesswork. This is an empowering discussion about taking ownership of your health journey and refusing to accept inadequate answers.

If you think of cardiovascular blood flow as just a background bodily process, this episode will completely change your perspective. Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back the brilliant Cathy Eason, MS, BCHN, for a masterclass on one of the body's most critical signaling molecules. With her deep expertise in human nutrition, physiology, and translating complex biology into clinical insights, Cathy reveals why nitric oxide is a foundational pillar for women navigating perimenopause and beyond. The conversation dives into a powerful, yet often overlooked, concept: that cardiovascular blood flow is our power source. Cathy explains how declining nitric oxide production, which naturally begins to drop around age 40, directly impacts everything from energy levels and brain fog to hormone balance and cardiovascular resilience. She details the fascinating connection between our oral microbiome, dietary nitrates from leafy greens, and our body's ability to create this vital compound. Listeners will gain crucial education on the direct link between nitric oxide, blood pressure regulation, and heart health—a critical topic for women, as heart disease remains the number one killer. Cathy also unveils exciting insights into how supporting this pathway can influence other hallmark menopausal experiences, including sleep disturbances, temperature dysregulation, and even sexual wellness, by enhancing tissue perfusion and nervous system balance. This episode is a compelling call to focus on this fundamental aspect of our biology for both immediate symptom relief and long-term vitality. Find out more about Nitric Oxide at berkeleylife.com!

In this week's conversation, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Dr. Shivani Gupta. Dr. Gupta's journey is a compelling story of transformation, moving from a childhood marked by chronic illness and over-reliance on antibiotics to discovering profound healing through her heritage and Ayurvedic medicine. This personal quest led her to deep academic and practical exploration of Ayurveda, culminating in a Ph.D. focused on turmeric and the development of her pioneering approach. Dr. Gupta illuminates the foundational principles of Ayurveda, an ancient system focused on holistic balance and the unique elemental design, or dosha, of each individual. She explains how understanding your inherent constitution is the key to creating a truly customized and effective health plan, moving far beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. The discussion delves into powerful, natural tools for navigating midlife health. Dr. Gupta shares invaluable insights on adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha for stress resilience and cognitive support, and the critical importance of deep, restorative sleep for clearing inflammation and supporting overall vitality. Of course, she provides an expert deep-dive into turmeric (curcumin), detailing its multifaceted role in addressing systemic inflammation, gut health, and even specific menopausal symptoms. This episode is a masterclass in reclaiming sovereignty over your well-being.

In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by wellness advocate Todd Shipman to demystify the complex world of quantum energy. This episode shifts the focus from the typical perimenopause symptom checklist to explore a pervasive but often overlooked source of modern stress: electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs). Todd breaks down this intricate subject in an accessible way, explaining that quantum energy is the neutralizing, subatomic force behind all matter. Their discussion provides a compelling education on how daily exposure to EMFs from devices like cell phones, WiFi, and 5G towers can create a "toxic soup" for our biology. Todd shares revealing data on how this exposure can lead to blood changes, overstimulated brains causing anxiety, and disrupted circadian rhythms—all of which can profoundly amplify common perimenopausal symptoms such as sleep disruption, mood swings, and nervous system dysregulation. The conversation then turns to a transformative solution: the potential of harmonizing technologies. Todd details how creating a field of coherent quantum energy around us can act like a protective bubble, neutralizing these disruptive frequencies and allowing the body to return to its natural, parasympathetic state. He shares compelling observations on how this support may improve deep sleep, reduce inflammatory responses to allergens, and help the body manage the cumulative stress load that so many women face. This episode is an invitation to look beyond the obvious and consider the subtle energetic environment as a key piece of the holistic health puzzle.

For any woman who has ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or secretly intimidated by her finances, this conversation offers a powerful and compassionate new lens on building genuine wealth. Francesca unfolds her own evolution from financial uncertainty to becoming a leading advisor and author, illustrating how her breakthrough came not from relentless striving, but from a fundamental shift in perspective. She dismantles the silence surrounding money, showing that our most stubborn financial hurdles are frequently built on outdated narratives, not unchangeable facts. This dialogue explores the core components of true abundance—mindset, literacy, and strategy—and how they work together to forge unshakeable confidence and tangible net worth. Together, Fiona and Francesca illuminate a more holistic path to prosperity. They delve into: The Stories We Inherit: How unexamined beliefs about money, absorbed over a lifetime, can dictate your financial landscape, and the first steps to reclaiming that narrative. The Paradox of Slow: Why Francesca's conscious choice to de-celerate, focus, and shed external expectations resulted in her income multiplying, challenging the myth that more effort always equals more gain. Energy and Architecture: The essential balance between the receptive, creative flow of feminine energy and the supportive, structural framework of masculine planning—and how to cultivate both within your financial practice. From Passenger to Pilot: How to transition from feeling managed by your money to actively commanding it, transforming financial planning from a chore into a profound act of self-advocacy and freedom. At its heart, this discussion provides a relatable, step-by-step journey from financial uncertainty to empowered ownership. Francesca details the philosophy behind her new book, Divine Wealth, and its practical framework, emphasizing the transformative roles of clarity, purpose, and celebration.

In this eye-opening and often funny episode of the Not Your Mother's Menopause Podcast, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Kim Rogers, famously known as the "Worm Queen", having gone viral on Tiktok. For anyone who has struggled with "mystery" symptoms, chronic pain, or felt abandoned by Western medicine, this conversation offers a startling and transformative perspective on what might really be going on inside your body. Kim Rogers shares her harrowing journey from being a "Western medicine refugee" with two healthcare degrees to nearly dying from Stage 4 endometriosis and 13 surgeries. She cuts through the taboo surrounding parasites, explaining how her own health crisis was finally resolved not by more surgery, but by addressing a massive, unseen parasitic load. This episode dives deep into the "trifecta" of environmental illness—parasites, mold, and Lyme disease—and why these issues are often the hidden drivers behind autoimmune labels and chronic exhaustion. Together, Fiona and Kim unpack the uncomfortable reality that parasites are not just a "third-world problem." They discuss: The Unseen Epidemic: Why an estimated 60 to 300 million Americans are likely harboring parasites from common sources like pets, sushi, undercooked meat, and even tap water. The Internal Host Experience: How parasites act as "energetic vampires," manipulating your cravings for sugar and disrupting your sleep and mood by consuming your serotonin. The Hormone Link: Why parasitic activity often peaks during the full moon, leading to the "crazy" symptoms and "itchy" flares many women experience but can't explain . The Mold and Lyme Connection: How parasites can act as "biofilm houses" for mold spores and Lyme bacteria, making it nearly impossible to heal from one without addressing the other . Most importantly, this dialogue provides a clear, actionable pathway to reclaiming your health sovereignty. Kim explains the mechanics of her "Purify" protocol, highlighting the crucial role of binders—like charcoal and cinnamon—to safely sweep toxins out of the body and prevent the dreaded "die-off" symptoms. Whether you are a "flusher," a "looker," or a "digger," this episode is an essential guide for anyone ready to stop being a host and start feeling like themselves again.
