"I'm doing everything right, and the scale still won't move." If that's you, the scale might be the wrong thing to watch.

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, bestselling author of Nourishing Menopause, 7x published researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with Daphne Bascom, MD, PhD, a former head and neck surgeon who left the operating room for lifestyle medicine and is now Chief Operations Officer of The Vegan Gym. Daphne is 59, competes as an IFBB Bikini Pro, and has been putting on muscle for a decade on a fully plant-based diet. She is also blunt about the parts that are hard.

This one is for you whether you're vegan, plant-curious, or a total carnivore. Nobody is asking you to give up meat. The question is whether you're getting enough protein and enough different plants, and whether you're measuring the right thing.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Can you get enough protein on a plant-based diet in menopause, and what the newest muscle research actually found
Why the scale lies, and what body composition means in plain English
What body fat percentage is healthy for women in midlife (the published ranges may surprise you)
Why you can't out-exercise a bad diet, and the minimum strength training that still moves the needle
What a full day of plant-based eating looks like when you're aiming for 100+ grams of protein
Why 30 different plants a week matters more for your gut than any single "superfood"

Keto worked like magic in your 20s and 30s, but then perimenopause hit, and it stopped. Ben Azadi joins Andrea Donsky, author of Nourishing Menopause and 7x published menopause researcher, to explain why strict keto and fasting can backfire on shifting hormones, and how "flexing" instead of white-knuckling gets you back to results.

Ben Azadi is back, and this time he's telling us why strict keto is the wrong move once you hit perimenopause.

We talk through his revised book Keto Flex and why "flexing" in and out of ketosis, instead of staying in it forever, is the piece most women in this life stage are missing.

What you'll learn:

➡ Why doing keto and fasting too aggressively in perimenopause can backfire on your cortisol and adrenals
➡ What cyclical ketosis (keto flex) actually looks like week to week
➡ How ketosis may affect leptin, thyroid (T3), and testosterone, and why your labs can look "normal" while you still feel off
➡ Why brain fog and memory issues might improve with a fat-adapted metabolism
➡ Which fats to build meals around, and which seed oils to quietly drop

You didn't change a thing, but the scale keeps climbing, and it's all landing on your belly. In this episode, we discuss what's going on now that you're in perimenopause and menopause.

Andrea Donsky, 7x published menopause researcher, author, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorpus.com, sits down with online health coach Aram Grigorian, who has spent 17 years helping women 35 and older change their body composition without the shame, the crash diets, or the thousand-dollar programs. This one is candid (heads up, there's some swearing), and it cuts through the noise you've been drowning in since your symptoms started.

Aram and Andrea get into why fat starts settling around your middle in perimenopause, why "eat less, move more" is technically true but nearly useless without a system, and the uncomfortable truth that a lot of women are actually eating too little to lose weight. They also talk honestly about alcohol, sleep, muscle, and why the number of calories you can eat has more to do with muscle than motivation.

What you'll learn:

Why perimenopause belly fat happens (and why it shows up now when it didn't in your 20s)
The difference between weight gain and fat gain, and how you can drop or add 15 pounds in 72 hours without gaining an ounce of fat
Why your doctor's "just eat less and exercise more" advice keeps failing you
How much alcohol is really costing you in sleep, recovery, and calories
Why eating too little can stall your weight loss, and how to figure out how many calories you actually need

Chapters:

0:00 Intro: Meet Andrea and Guest Aram Grigorian
2:25 Why Women Aren't Broken: Aram's Story
6:30 Why Perimenopause Weight Goes to Your Belly
12:00 Weight Gain vs Fat Gain: The 15-Pound Water Weight Swing
17:30 "Eat Less, Move More" and Being Dismissed by Your Doctor
24:30 Alcohol, Sleep, and Your Menopause Weight
32:00 Why Eating Too Little Stalls Your Weight Loss
39:00 Muscle, Body Fat, and How Many Calories You Really Need
45:30 Body Image, Mindset, and Getting Your Partner On Board
51:30 What You Can Actually Control (Plus Where to Find Aram)

If you're doing everything "right" and your body still feels like it's falling apart in perimenopause, this one is for you.

Andrea sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith, a dual-board-certified endocrinologist who grew tired of watching women get normal lab results and zero answers. She wrote the book "Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones" because she was one of those women, too. This conversation goes deep into why your gut is running the show behind your hormones and what you can actually do about it.

We get into the stuff nobody explained to you: why your "UTI" might not be a UTI, why insulin is the domino that knocks over your estrogen, your progesterone, your thyroid, and your sleep, and what microdosing a GLP-1 really means (with real numbers, not hype).

What you'll learn:

Why perimenopause belly fat and stubborn weight gain often start in your gut, not your willpower
What "microdosing GLP-1s" actually means, the real dose ranges, and who it may help
Why recurring "UTIs" in perimenopause are sometimes due to estrogen deficiency, not infection
How your gut bacteria change the way your body metabolizes estrogen and thyroid hormone
The fasting insulin test most doctors skip, and exactly what to ask for at your next appointment

Chapters:

3:31 What damaged your gut before perimenopause: birth, antibiotics, everyday meds
9:37 The "UTI" that isn't: estrogen deficiency vs infection
13:20 Good vs bad bacteria: inflammation, thyroid, and estrogen
19:14 Insulin, cortisol, and the "metabolic dumpster fire"
28:14 How to lower insulin without "eat less, move more"
35:33 Microdosing GLP-1s for PMOS: the actual doses
42:06 PMOS, medical gaslighting, and the 103 symptoms doctors miss

Have you spent your whole life saying yes when you meant no? You are not alone, and midlife might be the best time yet to change that.

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author, soon to be 10x published menopause researcher, educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with her childhood friend, Sharon Neiss-Arbess, a copywriter-turned-novelist who finally wrote the book she had been carrying around for years. They have known each other since grade five, so this one feels less like an interview and more like hanging out with two old friends over coffee.

Sharon's newest book, How I Learned to Pee in the Forest, is a collection of 18 short, true stories about everyday moments that taught her how to stand up for herself, set boundaries, and stop apologizing for taking up space. It is real talk about people-pleasing, asking for help, and giving yourself permission to start something new, no matter your age.

Topics:

Why "no" really is a full sentence, and how to stop being a people-pleaser in midlife
How to set boundaries without guilt (and why so many women learn this late)
A simple bedtime habit that may help you wind down for better sleep
What it actually takes to start something new after 40 or 50, in any area of life
The difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing, in plain language

Chapters:

0:00 Intro: Empowering Yourself in Perimenopause and Menopause
2:30 From Sears Copywriter to Self-Published Author
7:00 The First Three Books and Where the Ideas Came From
11:30 "How I Learned to Pee in the Forest": 18 Real-Life Stories

I wore the Leela Quantum necklace for months before recording this episode because I wanted to experience it day to day before sharing it with you. I took it to California and had a really interesting experience with my daughter that I'll tell you about in this interview with Todd Shipman, a wellness entrepreneur who came into this space as a skeptic and stayed because of what he found. We explore what "quantum energy" actually means, what EMFs from your phone, car, and AirPods may be doing to your body, and how to stay both open-minded and discerning. I ask the questions you'd want answered.

What you'll learn:

Whether "quantum energy" is woo-woo or actually rooted in real physics (and what the 2022 Nobel Prize did and didn't prove)
Why some people wonder whether everyday EMF from phones, cars, and AirPods affects how they feel, and what the open questions are
What Todd says his company's own testing looks at, like HRV.
How sleep and brain fog in perimenopause relate to the nervous system, as general education
The honest questions to ask before you spend money on any "energy" wellness product

Chapters:

0:00 Is Quantum Energy Woo Woo? Why This Isn't What You Think
3:04 Meet Todd Shipman + What Quantum Energy Actually Means
7:08 The 2022 Nobel Prize, Entanglement & Why He Tried to Debunk It
10:17 EMF and How You Might Feel: Sleep, Stress & the Questions to Ask
16:06 The Tesla Headache Story: My Daughter and the Necklace
24:12 Food Sensitivities, Structured Water & the Claims to Question
32:54 Inside the Necklace: Brass, Titanium Spheres & Frequency Recipes
42:24 Bloating, Digestion, Sleep & Wearing It Every Day
51:43 Where to Start, the Discount & Final Thoughts

Learn more about Leela Quantum.

A quick note: this is an education-first conversation, not medical advice. Todd is sharing his company's research and personal experience—nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. If you have a serious health condition or a food allergy, always work with your doctor and never substitute any wellness product for medical care or your EpiPen.

Dry, irritated, and every lubricant burns or makes a mess? You're not alone. 91% of women say their libido changes in menopause.

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author of Nourishing Menopause, 7x published menopause researcher and menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with Deborah Porteous, co-founder of The Pleasure Pods Company, who hit vaginal dryness in her early 50s and couldn't find a single product that didn't irritate her, ran everywhere, or ruined the sheets. So she and her partner Brian spent two years with a formulator and a team of plant scientists building something better: a 100% plant-based solid that melts at body temperature. This is the honest, slightly cheeky conversation about dryness, painful sex, and pleasure that most of us never got to have.

Topics:

Why vaginal dryness hits almost 40% of women in perimenopause and menopause, and why it's nothing to be embarrassed about
The difference between a lubricant, a vaginal moisturizer, and vaginal estrogen, and why it's not either/or
What's inside Pleasure Pods and why the solid format matters
How women are using the pods beyond intimacy: massage oil, face, dry skin, even travel
Why sexual wellness products for women are still so hard to advertise, and what that stigma costs us

Chapters:

0:00 How a solid-to-liquid lubricant works (cold open demo)

1:10 Libido in menopause: what almost 1,400 women told our survey

5:00 Meet Deborah Porteous and the story behind Pleasure Pods

9:30 Talking vaginal dryness on a pitch stage: the CHFA launchpad story

13:00 Why so many lubricants burn, itch, or irritate after 50

23:30 How to use it: palms, warm massage oil, face, and dry skin

29:00 Lubricant vs vaginal moisturizer vs vaginal estrogen

If you're on a GLP-1 and nobody told you how to eat on it, this one's for you. We get into it in depth.

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, bestselling author of Nourishing Menopause, 7x published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with nutrition and fitness coach Natalie Bean, who is GLP-1 certified and has spent 31 years helping people change how they eat. If you're taking Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy, thinking about it, or you just want to take back control with food, Natalie walks through what actually protects your body.

What you'll learn:

Why a GLP-1 can cost you 25 to 40 percent of your weight as muscle, and how to push back with food
How much protein women in perimenopause and menopause really need (and why it climbs on a GLP-1)
Whether you'll gain the weight back when you stop, and what a maintenance dose actually does
The GLP-1 side effects nobody warns you about, from dry mouth to constipation to brittle bones
Why cardio is not the enemy, and where strength training and cortisol fit in

4:45 Food noise, sugar cravings, and insulin resistance after 40

If you have been watching the GLP-1 conversation explode and quietly wondering if there is another way, this one is for you. Andrea sits down with Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, for an honest, science-forward talk about appetite, cravings, and why our relationship with food shifts in perimenopause and menopause. Sarah explains why hunger is biology rather than a willpower problem, and how Calocurb uses a hops extract from New Zealand research to gently support your own natural appetite hormones. It is not a pitch for a magic pill, just a grounded look at one more option so you can decide what is right for you and your body.

The willpower myth, and why hunger is biology, not a personal failing

Andrea Donsky is a registered holistic nutritionist with 20+ years of experience, a published menopause researcher, the co- founder of Morphus, the host of this podcast, Menopause Reimagined, and the author of Nourishing Menopause (Simon & Schuster) and Unjunk Your Junk Food.

In this episode, Andrea sits down with Dr. Amie Hornaman, "The Thyroid Fixer," to unpack what happens to your thyroid in perimenopause and menopause.

Why so many perimenopause symptoms are actually undiagnosed thyroid issues
What thyropause is and why Hashimoto's often switches on after 40
The five thyroid labs to ask your doctor for (and what to do if they refuse)

19:25 Medically gaslit: Andrea's story of being dismissed by her doctor
23:40 The thyroid tests your doctor probably isn't ordering (TSH, free T3, reverse T3, TPO, TG)
28:30 T3 vs T4: why Synthroid alone may not be enough
33:45 Why you can stay on thyroid medication for life (and why that's okay)

Discussion around GLP-1 and estradiol, as well as fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
Windows of time where hormone replacement can and should happen, and how the data from the Women's Health Initiative is still skewing the data for these recommendations.

So many symptoms in perimenopause and menopause can be traced back to hormones, including sex hormones and the thyroid. In this episode, we take a deep dive into thyroid health and PCOS, and we touch on bone health. Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, author of Nourishing Menopause, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, interviews with Dr. Damola Aje, a board-certified endocrinologist who specializes in PCOS, thyroid disorders, and menopause.

Topics:

Thyroid Problems in Women - Thyroid problems in women can show up as fatigue, weight changes, feeling cold, dry skin, and low energy, especially during perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms are often mistaken for hormonal changes, which is why comprehensive thyroid testing beyond TSH is important.
PCOS in Perimenopause and Menopause - PCOS in perimenopause and menopause remains a lifelong metabolic and hormonal condition, often linked to androgen imbalance, acne, hair thinning, and facial hair. Lean PCOS is also common and frequently overlooked.
Insulin Resistance in Midlife Women - Insulin resistance in perimenopause and menopause is a key driver of PCOS, contributing to weight gain, stubborn belly fat, blood sugar imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction. Exercise supports glucose control and helps preserve muscle mass during aging.
Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms in Women - Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, and heart palpitations can overlap between thyroid disorders, PCOS, and menopause, making hormonal imbalance in women harder to identify and often dismissed.
Menopause Treatment and Hormone Support Options - Menopause treatment options may include hormone replacement therapy for hot flashes and night sweats, along with bone health support and proactive testing. Self-advocacy is key to getting proper diagnosis and care.

Do you know your true purpose? Many women in this phase of life are pulled in so many directions by family obligations, careers, and everything else on their plates. The stress can be a lot, and as we enter perimenopause and menopause, we're less able to cope with it.

In this interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, author, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Kerstin Lindquist, an Emmy Award–winning journalist, certified health coach, keynote speaker, and Christian author who blends health science with biblical truth to help individuals and organizations thrive in faith, wellness, and purpose.

You'll come away with greater clarity on your purpose, as well as tips for sleep, handling stress, and taking care of yourself in the middle of it all.

Topics:

• Identity, purpose, and calling in midlife - How many women begin rethinking who they are and what they want the next chapter of life to be.

• Understanding your core values - Learning to recognize what truly matters to you and what doesn’t.

• Legacy vs. reputation - The difference between what you want your legacy to be and what people may currently know you for, and how that insight can help guide your calling.

• How the brain changes in perimenopause and menopause - Why cognitive and hormonal shifts can lead to deeper reflection about purpose, priorities, and the impact you want to have on others.

• Using your purpose as a filter for life decisions - How aligning decisions with your values can help create clarity in relationships, career choices, and daily life.

• Letting go of people-pleasing - Why midlife often brings a shift toward stronger boundaries and a willingness to create a new direction for yourself.

• Stop forcing and start listening - Learning to notice where your life naturally flows instead of constantly pushing against resistance.

• Stress, lifestyle, and their impact on health and cognition - How chronic stress and daily habits can affect brain health, energy, and long-term wellbeing.

• Practical coping tools for this phase of life - Rest, breathwork, meditation, downtime, movement, and prioritizing sleep.

• Progress over perfection - Why it’s important to keep practicing healthy habits even when you don’t do them perfectly.

• Protecting brain health as we age - The importance of vision, hearing, and balance for long-term cognitive health and longevity.

• Alcohol and hormone therapy - What to consider when it comes to alcohol consumption during midlife and menopause treatment.

Are you a tea drinker? We do! It offers many health benefits and is a great way to increase your water intake and hydration during perimenopause and menopause.

In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Cindi Bigelow, the third-generation President and CEO of Bigelow Tea, the family-owned American tea company founded in 1945.

She helped transform the brand from a traditional grocery-store staple into a modern wellness-focused tea company, expanding into specialty blends, green teas, and functional teas while keeping the business privately held and family-run.

Topics:

Bigelow & Integrity: The company is a third-generation, family- and women-owned business founded by Cindi Bigelow’s grandmother in 1945 with the iconic Constant Comment tea. Its focus has always been on mission and quality, not just profit.
Quality: Bigelow tests its teas for nearly 500 pesticides to ensure the final product is clean. Additionally, every tea bag undergoes 26 checks before reaching the store shelf.
Debunking the Plastic Tea Bag Scare: The most common type of tea bag used in the U.S., such as Bigelow's double-chamber, non-heat-sealed bag, contains no plastic; it's made from wood pulp and abaca. The misinformation circulating often shows the wrong kind of tea bags.
Foil is the Secret to Freshness: Bigelow invented the individual foil pouch because it is the only way to protect the volatile oils in tea, which make the tea healthy and flavorful, from degrading for up to three years.
Loose Tea is a Trade-Off: While loose tea provides a "beautiful experience," it oxidizes and degrades more quickly when exposed to air, light, and moisture.
Hydration is Critical for Menopause: For women in perimenopause and menopause, staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining energy, supporting brain and skin health, reducing inflammation, and aiding digestion.
Making Water Easier to Drink: Bigelow’s Botanicals Cold Water Infusion line was created because many people, including the CEO herself, don't enjoy drinking plain water; these bags gently infuse cold water with natural flavors, making hydration simple.
Longevity: The Bigelow family members are avid tea drinkers, sometimes enjoying up to 10 cups a day, and have enjoyed long lives; her mother is 97, and her grandfather lived to 103. Tea could be part of that longevity.

Explore a wide variety of Green, Black, and Herbal Teas, as well as Bigelow's Botanical Infusions. https://bit.ly/4kFzfyJ

Leaking urine? Painful sex? Constipation? TMJ? Back Pain?

They can all be related to the musculoskeletal or genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Simply, tightness and/or dysfunction in the pelvic floor.

In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, author, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Jana Danielson, a wellness entrepreneur, Pilates educator, and creator of the Cooch Ball pelvic floor training tool.

Topics:

Pelvic Health and the Body's Connection: The discussion of how the pelvic floor is an integrated structure, not a standalone group of muscles.
The Pelvic Floor and Core: The interview explains the anatomy of the pelvic floor and how it can function optimally (watch it on YouTube for visuals).
The Importance of Breathing and Posture: A core theme is that breathing is the most fundamental pelvic floor strategy, and optimal posture is also key to pelvic floor function.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Misconceptions: Jana challenges the belief that dysfunction is "normal" during aging, stating that "common is not normal." Stressing that a too-tight (hypertonic) muscle is just as dysfunctional as a weak one.
The Cooch Ball and the Release-Rebuild Method: The Cooch Ball method focuses on 30 days of "release only" to promote blood flow to the tissue, followed by a rebuild phase using exercises that integrate the pelvic floor with other muscles in the body.
Impact on Libido and Orgasm: Andrea and Jana discuss how improving blood flow and releasing tension in the pelvic tissues can increase libido and the ability to have pleasure.
The Pudendal Nerve and Shame: The Latin root of the word "pudendal" means "an area of shame", and this emotional context is connected to the lack of discussion and understanding of pelvic health.

On Menopause Reimagined, your host, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author, menopause researcher, educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, is joined by Dr. James Simon, a board-certified OB-GYN, reproductive endocrinologist, and clinical professor at George Washington University. He’s the only physician to have served as president of both The Menopause Society and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, and is the author of Restore Yourself: A Woman’s Guide to Reviving Her Sexual Desire and Passion for Life.

Topics

Sexual Health Survey Results: Nearly 1,300 women shared their experiences: 91% reported lower libido, 66% had more difficulty orgasming, and 83% had talked to someone about it, echoing what many women share online.

Why Desire Drops (and Why You’re Not Alone): Why libido changes in perimenopause and menopause likely affect most women, and how relationships can help sustain, but not fully protect, sexual desire.

When Sex Hurts (and Nobody Talks About It): Why he likes to see couples together and how painful sex can lead to rejection, resentment, and misunderstanding when it’s not addressed.

Why Common Advice Feels So Dismissive: “Use lube,” “have a date night,” “just do it,” “try a vibrator,” or “maybe you’re depressed” are the go‑to lines many women are tired of. Dr. Simon unpacks why this misses the root causes and reminds us that desire starts in the mind, not just the body.

Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire: Many women worry that something is “wrong” when spontaneous desire fades. Dr. Simon explains why responsive desire often remains and how understanding this shift can be a huge relief.

Hormone Testing & Therapy: What to actually ask for: thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, vitamin D, and B12. Plus, why testosterone matters, how levels change with age, and why access looks different across countries.

Non‑Hormonal Treatment Options: A clear look at Addyi (flibanserin) and Vyleesi (bremelanotide): how they work, who they’re for, and what to realistically expect.

It’s Not Just Hormones, It’s the Relationship: Speaking to common pain points: feeling unseen, disconnected, or “touched out.” Depression, anxiety, and relationship conflict must be addressed; no dose of hormones can fix an unhappy partnership.

Real‑World Tips for Long‑Term Couples: Practical ideas women say they want: using lubricants and vibrators without shame, slowing down, adding novelty, sharing fantasies safely, and using “I” language to improve communication and intimacy.

If you have concerns or you're confused about whether hormone therapy is right for you, then this interview is for you.

Your host, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, interviews Dr. Tara Scott, an OB/GYN-turned integrative and functional medicine specialist focused on evidence-based hormone therapy and menopause care. They debunk common myths, explain the real risks and benefits of different hormone options, and stress the importance of individualized care. The episode offers reassurance and practical guidance.

Topics:

The 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study caused confusion about hormone therapy, but newer research shows it is safer and more beneficial, especially when started early in menopause.
Modern hormone therapy with bioidentical hormones like estrogen patches and progesterone pills can alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep problems, and brain fog, and may also benefit bone and heart health.
Not all hormone therapies are equal: pills carry higher risks like blood clots, while patches and topical methods are safer and align more naturally with your body.
Birth control pills and IUDs are not true hormone replacements; they contain different progestins that don’t mimic natural hormones and may cause side effects.
Most women can safely use hormone therapy, even after some cancers. Few health conditions exclude hormone use, so consult a healthcare provider for a personalized review.
Vaginal estrogen treats local symptoms like dryness, while DHEA is a safe option for some women, including breast cancer survivors, to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
Get full, personalized information about your options and don’t accept a simple “no” from your provider about hormone therapy.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and struggling with symptoms, there ARE updated and safer hormone therapy options available—don’t be afraid to ask!

In this conversation, trainer and coach Samantha Montpetit-Huynh and Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and cofounder of wearemorphus.com, discuss perimenopause and menopause, including race, symptoms, stress, GLP‑1s, strength, and how culture shapes experiences in perimenopause and menopause.

Highlights:

Samantha’s experience growing up biracial, coming into her power, and finding her voice in midlife.
Women of color experience earlier/more intense symptoms, care gaps, and medical racism.
Women who feel unheard can experience increased stress and cortisol levels, which can impact their sleep and lead to weight gain, especially around the belly.
Vocabulary that helps us discuss race respectfully and clearly.
GLP‑1s are now a part of flashy influencer promos, while it's still unclear what the long‑term health risks are, and why solid lifestyle foundations matter the most.
Overtraining in midlife: signs you’re doing too much and simple workout modifications to prevent it.
The considerable importance of protein + strength, blood sugar management, and how these factors can influence our long-term independence and quality of life.
80/20 food approach and ditching guilt because balance beats perfection.

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Leslie Kenny, CEO and patient advocate based in Oxford, about reversing autoimmune symptoms, supporting healthy aging, and easing perimenopause and menopause with food-first strategies.

Leslie shares how she went from multiple autoimmune diagnoses and a grim prognosis to conceiving naturally at 43 and achieving a biological age of 21 at 59, through lifestyle changes, nutrition, and a science-backed compound called spermidine.

Topics Covered:

Autoimmune to thriving: Leslie’s simple steps to lower inflammation, support immunity, and rebuild health.
Spermidine, a natural compound that triggers cell cleanup (autophagy) and acts like a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for healthy aging.
Food-first sources you can use now: nato (fermented soy), shiitake/oyster mushrooms, legumes, peas, and long-fermented cheeses like British cheddar.
Menopause-specific wins: better sleep, hair and skin changes, nail strength, and support for hormonal balance.

Join us for an eye-opening conversation about nutrition and metabolic science. Andrea Donsky, a renowned nutritionist, menopause educator, published researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with metabolic health expert Ben Azadi to discuss one of the most pressing health challenges facing women today.

Ben Azadi brings his expertise as a health educator, bestselling author, and podcast host to share groundbreaking strategies that can revolutionize how you approach your metabolic health during perimenopause and menopause. This isn't just another wellness discussion; it's a science-backed roadmap to reclaiming your energy, optimizing your metabolism, and thriving through this next chapter of your life.

Topics Covered:

Ben Azadi went from being overweight with early diabetes and high blood pressure to becoming metabolically healthy by staying curious about what really affects our health, mindset, and the choices we make every day.
Instead of just trying to lose weight, Ben teaches us to see extra weight as our body's way of telling us something is wrong and how to figure out what's really causing the weight gain in the first place.
The foundational pieces of metabolic flexibility/freedom are eating whole/single-ingredient foods, engaging in regular movement, and adopting a responsible, rather than a victim, mindset.
The key is tweaking one or two things a week to improve your health without being overwhelmed.
Understanding what metabolic freedom really means and why it becomes even more important as women go through perimenopause and menopause, when our bodies naturally become more resistant to insulin.
The importance of asking your doctor for a fasting insulin test.
Hacks for carbohydrates and blunting insulin responses.
Key lifestyle changes to improve sleep and master stress resilience,
Tips for improving heart rate variability (HRV).
How our thoughts and overall well-being directly impact our physical health, including scientific proof that practicing gratitude can actually make us healthier and help us live longer.

In this interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, and published menopause researcher and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, discusses how hormonal birth control can mask where you are in the menopausal transition, what labs help, and how to talk to your doctor about safer options. Elizabeth Katzman specializes in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition for women in perimenopause and menopause. She'll help you connect the dots if you've taken the pill in the past or are on the pill now.

Topic Covered:

What the pill does (synthetic estrogen + progestin), why the “period” on it is a withdrawal bleed, and how it can hide your true perimenopause status.
Why progestins can raise anxiety/depression risk, and how bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, bones, and thyroid.
Thyroid connection: How the pill can deplete nutrients and interfere with T4→T3 conversion, and raise hypothyroid risk when midlife thyroid issues already spike.
Leaky gut, depleted lacto/bifido, and why protecting your mucosal lining matters for autoimmune risk.
Testing that helps (and when): Why FSH/E2/Progesterone timing matters off the pill, plus affordable bloodwork that gives clues even when hormones fluctuate.
How to think about nutrient repletion (methylated B’s, magnesium, zinc, selenium) and why an IUD or mini-pill (progestin-only) isn’t automatically a better choice.
Topical/oral/vaginal progesterone options, DHEA and pregnenolone basics, and why “fit + formulation + timing” often matter more than the dose.
Red meat, ferritin, and genetics: Why iron can climb post-menopause, when to watch ferritin, and how genetics (MTHFR, APOE) affect it.
When your long-time GYN isn’t the right HRT partner, and how to add a practitioner who actually understands midlife hormones.

Andrea Donsky is a nutritionist, menopause educator, published researcher, and co-founder of Morphus.com. Today, I spoke with Dr. Barrie Tan, a PhD in chemistry and biochemistry, and the world’s leading expert on tocotrienols, the most potent form of vitamin E.

Tocotrienols should be on your radar during perimenopause and menopause, as our hormones shift, making our bodies more vulnerable to oxidative stress, inflammation, and chronic conditions that can impact everything from our heart and bones to our skin, hair, and brain. Dr. Tan’s decades of research reveal that tocotrienols offer unique antioxidant support that goes far beyond what typical vitamin E (tocopherols) can do.

What We Cover:

Dr. Tan’s fascinating journey: From discovering tocotrienols in annatto to leading global research on their health benefits
The fundamental difference between tocotrienols and tocopherols, and why most supplements miss the mark
Tocotrienols help protect your cells from damage, especially when estrogen levels go down.
Dosage tips for general wellness, chronic conditions, and more advanced health needs
The latest research on tocotrienols.
Surprising findings: Weight management and fatty liver support in clinical trials

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, learns about a powerful line of products that has been proven to reverse aging skin. Our guest, Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD, and co-founder of OneSkin, explains the science behind the OS-01 peptide. This breakthrough ingredient has been shown to reduce biological skin age by targeting senescent (zombie) cells in the skin, addressing dryness, crepiness, wrinkles, fine lines, thinning skin, loss of elasticity, and persistent irritation.

Topics Covered:

The science: how senescent cells and inflammation drive skin aging, leading to wrinkles, crepiness, and thinning of both skin and hair.
The science behind OneSkin’s OS-01 peptide: how it works and what makes it so effective.
Evidence vs. Hype in Anti-Aging Products. Combining ingredients in anti-aging formulas can often be irritating and ineffective.
A simple "less-is-more" routine for menopausal skin: cleanse, moisturize, and SPF.
Results from using OneSkin and how long it takes to see a difference.
Andrea shares why she loves OneSkin.
Key tips: consistency, SPF, and targeted care for hands, neck, chest, arms, and eyes.

In this sponsored interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of Morphus, discusses senolytics with Dr. Gregory Kelly - Director of Product Development at Qualia Life Sciences, naturopathic physician, and author of "Shape Shift."

Women in perimenopause and menopause should explore the benefits of senolytics for cellular aging because of the impact on their menopausal symptoms and overall health. During menopause, there's an accelerated accumulation of senescent cells (zombie cells) in the body, which can trigger inflammation, joint pain, and other age-related issues that make menopausal symptoms more challenging to manage. Understanding these changes helps women take steps to help them feel better and improve their long-term health. Senolytics are used only a couple of days a month, but the benefits can be felt, especially as shown by the studies done on joint pain.

Key Points:

Explore how cellular aging affects women during perimenopause and menopause.
When cells have trouble producing energy and the body's repair cells decline, menopausal symptoms can become more severe.
Discover what senescent cells ("zombie cells") are and why they accumulate more after menopause.
Learn how senolytic compounds can help remove accumulated senescent cells contributing to joint pain and other issues.
Understand why an intermittent approach to senolytics (2 days per month) is more effective than daily supplementation.
Get practical tips for using senolytics safely and effectively during your menopause journey.

In this conversation, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist and soon-to-be Published Menopause Researcher, speaks with Mike Feldstein, founder of Jaspr and an air quality expert. They discuss the significant issue of indoor air pollution, which can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the U.S. EPA. People spend 90% of their time indoors, so understanding and improving indoor air quality is crucial.

Key Points

Indoor Air Pollution Sources: Common pollutants include cleaning products, smoke, off-gassing from new furniture and electronics, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Cooking is identified as the largest source of indoor pollution.
Air Composition: Air consists mainly of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (20%), with trace gases. The importance of clean air is likened to how fish rely on clean water for survival.
Impact of Renovations: Andrew shares his experience renovating his home with eco-friendly materials to avoid off-gassing pollutants. He emphasizes the lingering effects of indoor pollutants after renovations.
Ventilation Importance: Effective ventilation is essential to reduce indoor pollutants. Many homes have poorly functioning vents that do not vent air outside, which can exacerbate air quality issues.
Practical Solutions: Regular vent maintenance and proper cooking techniques can help improve indoor air quality. Mike suggests annual deep cleaning as a good practice for maintaining a healthy environment.
Sleep quality. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and discomfort, disrupting sleep. A study by Jaspr, showed that improving air quality led to individuals sleeping on average 25 more minutes per night, experiencing 18% more deep sleep, and falling asleep 5% faster.

Overall, the episode highlights the need for greater awareness and proactive measures regarding indoor air quality to enhance health and well-being.

In this episode, Andrea Donsky and Melissa Hyde delve into the transformative power of weightlifting for women in perimenopause and menopause. With over 35 years of experience, Melissa shares her insights on how strength training can enhance overall health and help with weight gain, longevity/healthspan, and quality of life for midlife women.

This episode highlights the critical importance of incorporating strength training into midlife women's fitness routines. By dispelling common myths and emphasizing the health benefits associated with weightlifting, Andrea and Melissa aim to inspire listeners to embrace a more active lifestyle for better health outcomes during menopause.

Key Takeaways
The Need for Strength Training:
Women lose muscle mass and bone density as early as 30, losing 3-5% per decade. By age 80, this could lose up to 30% of muscle mass if not addressed through strength training.

Myth-Busting Weightlifting:
Many women fear becoming "bulky" from lifting weights. Melissa emphasizes that building significant muscle mass requires dedicated training and is not a concern for most women.
Health Benefits of Muscle Mass:
Increased muscle mass is linked to improved longevity, cognitive health, and reduced risk of falls and fractures. Strength training helps maintain independence as women age.

Recommended Training Frequency:
Melissa suggests that midlife women use strength training 2-4 times per week, focusing on proper form and gradually increasing intensity.

Connection Between Muscle and Bone Health:
Lifting weights applies force on bones, promoting bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Imagine a world where the very products meant to make our lives easier are silently poisoning us and our loved ones. This isn't science fiction—it's the alarming reality of forever chemicals, or PFAS. These insidious substances lurk in our homes, our food, and even our bodies persisting for decades and potentially causing devastating health effects. From lowered immune systems to increased cancer risks, the impact of these chemicals is far-reaching and deeply concerning. As we uncover the shocking truth about PFAS, we're faced with an urgent question: how can we protect ourselves and future generations from this invisible threat?

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, and Menopause Educator and co-founder of Morphus, and Leah Segedie, founder of Mamavation discuss this vital topic.

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, Menopause Educator, and co-founder of Morphus, talks to Dr. Lara Briden about weight gain and changes in metabolism in perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Briden's latest book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" (also titled "The Metabolism Reset" in some regions), aims to dispel the shame and reframe discussions around body weight management during perimenopause and menopause. She acknowledges that weight gain is a complex and emotional issue, not simply a matter of "eating less and exercising more."

Metabolic dysfunction can occur regardless of body size, and perimenopause and menopause are times of significant metabolic upheaval. The podcast explores the connection between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), insulin resistance, and menopause.

Andrea Donsky is a nutritionist, menopause educator, researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphous.com. In this interview, she talks with Dr. Michelle May a former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, and founder of amihungry.com. She facilitates mindful eating programs and training for practitioners. She is also an associate professor at Arizona State University.

Key Takeaways from the Podcast

Andrea Donsky and Dr. Michelle May discuss their shared experiences of growing up in an era focused on weight loss, calorie counting, and dieting.
Mindful eating is defined as eating with intention and attention, focusing on internal cues of hunger, satiety, enjoyment, and satisfaction rather than external rules or restrictions.
Mindful eating is similar to intuitive eating, with both approaches emphasizing an "inside-out" process of reconnecting with the body's natural signals1.
Emotional and mindless eating are common challenges, often triggered by stress, boredom, or other unmet needs. Pausing to check in with physical, mental, and emotional states can help identify the root cause.
Strategies for mindful eating include:
Pausing to check in on physical hunger cues, thoughts, and emotions before eating
Redirecting attention to other activities when not physically hungry
Exploring the underlying reasons for wanting to eat, such as boredom or stress, and finding alternative ways to address those needs
Using deep breathing to calm the nervous system before eating
Avoid using exercise as punishment or to "earn" the right to eat, as this can create an unhealthy relationship with food and movement.

0:21 Andrea outlines the many accomplishments of Dr. JoAnn Manson.

2:18 Andrea and Dr. Manson discuss how the WHI Study focused on post-menopausal women's health and the purpose of the three trials. Two trials focused on hormone therapy and preventing chronic diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, cognitive decline, and related outcomes not the effectiveness of hormone therapy.

13:45 Discussing how hormone therapy has evolved and changed since the study 20 years ago.

30:14 The current thinking about the best candidates for hormone therapy.
34:05 If Dr. Manson could redo the WHI study what would she do differently?

39:46 Next steps women can take in finding a practitioner.

Manson, MD, MPH, DrPH, MACP, is a Professor of Medicine and the Michael and Lee Bell Professor of Women’s Health at Harvard Medical School, Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Chief of the Division of Preventive Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH).

Welcome to the Menopause Reimagined podcast. I'm your host, Andrea Donsky. I'm a Nutritionist (18 years) and I'm IN menopause. I'm a Menopause Educator and Menopause Researcher.

I have some exciting news to share! Our podcast we recently named one of the Top 10 most popular menopause podcasts globally by Feedspot! We are honored and appreciate all of your support.

Today I'm speaking with Jancee Dunn. She's a New York Times bestselling author of nine books, including a memoir and a biography of Cindy Lauper. Her last book, How Not To Hate Your Husband After Kidswas published in 12 languages. She's a frequent contributor to the New York Times, Vogue, and Health.

She was a columnist at GQ and at O, the Oprah magazine. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, the author Tim Vanderbilt and their daughter, and now she's the author of Hot and Bothered, What No One Tells You About Menopause, and How to Feel Like Yourself Again.

[1:06] I congratulate her for writing a book on menopause.

[1:36] Jancee shares her personal experience with perimenopause and how she initially mistook the symptoms for pregnancy.

[5:23] Jancee talks about the lack of information and resources available on menopause and the motivation behind writing her book.

[6:36] Jancee and I discuss the stigmas, taboos, and lack of conversation surrounding menopause.

[7:10] Jancee mentions the factors contributing to the slow progress in addressing menopause, including racism, ageism, sexism, and lack of research funding.

[8:33] We highlight the positive impact celebrities have by openly discussing menopause and the hope for younger generations to be more transparent about it.

[10:26] We emphasize the importance of educating children about menopause and normalizing the conversation.
