461: High Cholesterol and What ACTUALLY Causes Heart Attacks with Cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn

Did you know that heart disease kills more midlife women than cancer, yet, most doctors aren't testing correctly? Heart disease is super close and personal to me. It's how I lost my dad when he was just 49…so it really hits home. Most of us think of men when we hear about heart attacks or heart disease, but did you know it's the #1 killer of women over 45? Yet most of us are completely focused on the wrong risk factors (yep, including most doctors). In this conversation, I sat down with cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn, who's been practicing for 35 years and has a fascinating perspective that challenges much of what we've been told about heart health (in a great way). We get personal - I share my own labs live on air as Dr. Kahn walks through exactly what these numbers mean and what we should actually be testing for instead of the basic panel most doctors order. We dive deep into why women present with heart disease so differently than men, the tests every woman over 45 should demand from their doctor, and why your calcium score might be more important than your cholesterol number. You'll discover the real story behind the cholesterol controversy that's been raging since the 1970s, when statins are actually necessary, the shocking connection between how you cook your food and arterial aging, why antibacterial mouthwash might be damaging your blood vessels, and the advanced lab tests that give you real answers about your cardiovascular risk - not just outdated calculations from the 1960s. If you've ever been confused about conflicting advice on saturated fat, wondered if you really need that statin prescription, or want to know what actually protects your heart as you age, this episode provides the clarity you've been searching for. Dr. Kahn brings decades of research and clinical experience to help us separate the marketing from the medicine when it comes to women's heart health.

459: The Truth About Dental Toxins Destroying Your Health with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

Is your dentist unknowingly poisoning you and destroying your health? That's the shocking question Dr. Michelle Jorgensen had to face when mysterious illness nearly ended her dental career at just 35 years old. After a decade of traditional practice, she developed devastating symptoms—brain fog so severe she couldn't remember patients' names, gut pain that made drinking water unbearable, and nerve damage that left her unable to hold dental instruments. The culprit? Mercury poisoning from drilling out silver fillings without protection for ten years! But Dr. Michelle's personal health crisis became her calling to revolutionize dentistry. Now she's exposing the hidden connections between oral health and chronic disease that could change everything about how you think about your mouth. We dive deep into the dental toxins that might be sabotaging your health—from mercury fillings leaking poison 24/7 to fluoride disrupting your thyroid function. Dr. Michelle reveals why 78% of fatal blood clots contain mouth-only bacteria, why she's never seen a cancer patient without root canals, and the shocking reason dentists have such high suicide rates. But this isn't just about problems—it's about solutions. Learn practical steps you can take right now to protect your health, including how to safely remove mercury fillings, alternatives to root canals that save 85% of "hopeless" teeth, and why switching from fluoride to hydroxyapatite could transform your oral health.

Did you know that 50% of your hair disappears before you even notice it's thinning – AND – it might not just be because of hormones? Groundbreaking research reveals the real culprit: "zombie cells" accumulating in your scalp that literally sabotage your hair follicles from within. In this eye-opening conversation, Natalie sits down with Carolina, co-founder of OneSkin, to uncover the cellular science behind why traditional hair loss treatments often fall short—and why a revolutionary patented OS-01 peptide targets aging cells at the molecular level to rejuvenate both skin and scalp. You'll discover why your scalp ages just like your skin, what creates the perfect storm for hair loss, and the surprising truth about why natural solutions can actually outperform chemical treatments when they target the right mechanisms. Carolina shares the fascinating story behind their breakthrough discovery of the OS-01 peptide, which took years to develop after testing over 900 different compounds. Whether you're already noticing thinning or want to prevent it, this conversation will completely transform how you think about hair health and aging. Plus, Natalie shares her own 3-month experiment results that surprised even her—including why she almost gave up at 8 weeks and what changed her mind. Interested in trying OS-01 HAIR?

455: Surprising GLP-1 Benefits Revealed: Brain Health, Pain Relief, Anti-Inflammatory Effects and More with Dr. Tyna Moore

GLP-1's have become a major topic in wellness circles, often discussed by celebrities, influencers, and even your neighbors. However, misinformation and incorrect dosing are prevalent. What most people (even doctors) don't realize is that proper, smaller doses of these compounds (specifically semaglutide) offer remarkable benefits for inflammation, brain health, pain relief, and overall wellness. Dr. Tyna Moore, a naturopathic physician, chiropractor, and pioneer of GLP-1 tiny dosing, reveals the not often spoken of benefits that are game-changers for midlife women's health and wellness. In this episode, Dr. Tyna Moore explores five powerful GLP-1 benefits that go far beyond appetite suppression: their anti-inflammatory effects that calm overactive immune systems, neuroprotective properties that support brain health and reduce cognitive decline risk (including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), pain-relieving capabilities that help with chronic conditions, cardiovascular protection that supports heart health, and even their ability to modulate addiction and reward pathways. She also explains why proper dosing is crucial for accessing these benefits without severe side effects, how GLP-1 agonists work as part of a comprehensive health strategy, and why these medications might be particularly valuable for women dealing with the inflammatory changes that accompany hormonal shifts. Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, brain fog, autoimmune symptoms, or just want to understand all your options for optimal midlife health, this episode reveals the science behind GLP-1 benefits that could change how you think about these powerful compounds.

Mareya Ibrahim-Jones's midlife journey reveals why most supplements fail – having not as much to do with the quality, but the way you are taking them. Learn why your collagen needs vitamin C to work, how coffee steals your magnesium, and why liposomal delivery gets nutrients directly into your cells instead of relying on your digestive system.

Discover why that orange from Florida has lost up to 60% of its vitamin C before it reaches you, the connection between vitamin C and anxiety that most doctors miss, and how proper vitamin C absorption can be the missing link in your midlife wellness journey.

453: Rewriting The Rules on How To Menopause with Tamsen Fadal

In this episode, former news anchor turned menopause advocate and New York Times best selling author, Tamsen Fadal (who I proudly call the "Menopause Queen"), reveals the shocking reality of women's healthcare during midlife transitions. With over 1 billion women expected to be in menopause by 2025, it's shocking how unprepared most feel. Tamsen shares her personal journey as a former news anchor who experienced severe menopause symptoms and felt gaslit by the medical community – from hearing excuses like "it's just stress" or "you're in menopause…period". Her bestselling book, 'How to Menopause', became a beacon for many women navigating similar experiences. We dive deep into the controversial truths about hormone replacement therapy, the identity crisis that accompanies menopause, and why the fear of breast cancer has prevented an entire generation from accessing effective treatment. Tamsen shares how she transformed her health crisis into her life's mission and offers practical guidance for women ready to take charge of their menopause journey. This isn't just another hormone conversation—it's a roadmap for thriving through one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change how you think about women's health and aging.
