#61 Your Perimenopause Questions, Answered (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past few months I've been running perimenopause masterclasses for several hundred women, and the questions and reflections that came up most often were too valuable to leave on those calls. So in this episode I read them out - anonymously - and answer them directly. Running underneath almost all of them was a single thread: my body is responding like an accumulation of a lifetime of stress, not just the stressful moment I'm in. I explore why perimenopause is far more than fluctuating ho
#60 Why Some Marriages Survive Midlife and Others Quietly End (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week's episode on the couple in The Invite clearly struck a nerve, many of you reached out to say your own relationship feels hard right now. So this week I'm going deeper into a patterns I see constantly in my clinical practice, one a viral article in The Cut and a recent episode of Oprah's podcast have put a name to: women who have quietly checked out of their marriages while still living inside them. In this episode I unpack why that difference happens, what's really going on beneath the
#59 “The Invite”: what a movie can teach us about a long marriage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Olivia Wilde's The Invite plays out over a single evening, in one apartment, between two couples, and it was a sharp portrait of a stale, stagnant marriage.

I work through three clinically important themes: Evolution and the unspoken contract - why we examine everything at the sta
#58 Five Things Happy Women Do in Midlife (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Women today have more opportunity than any generation before them, and yet the research on how women actually feel has gone the other way, with a real dip in wellbeing through midlife. In this episode, Alex turns to what she sees firsthand in the women who feel genuinely content despite that, and walks through five practices they share. The foundation everything rests on: a nervous system that can tolerate discomfort without becoming overwhelmed. From there, treating the body as a partner rather
#57 What Oxygen and Red Light Therapy Can Offer the Perimenopausal Body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode I sit down with Natalie White, founder of Studio2 HBOT, to unpack what hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and red light therapy actually do in the body, and why they matter for women navigating perimenopause. We move past the athlete-recovery framing most people associate with HBOT and into the territory that's relevant for midlife women: chronic inflammation, mitochondrial function, energy production, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and a nervous system that's running hot.
