Eps 452: Perimenopause Burnout: Why Women Feel Exhausted, Disconnected, and “Not Like Themselves” with Maraya Brown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When was the last time you felt truly vibrant, not simply “fine”? For many high-achieving women, “fine” means sleeping poorly, waking up exhausted, dragging themselves through workouts, losing interest in intimacy, and continuing to take care of everyone else without stopping long enough to ask what they need. In this episode, I sit down with Maraya Brown CNM, MSN, Yale and functional medicine-trained women’s health expert, founder of The Women’s Vibrancy Code, and host of The Women’s Vibrancy C

Eps 448: Gaining Weight Despite Diet and Exercise? Your Thyroid May Be the Missing Piece with Dr. Amie Hornaman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you been eating well, exercising consistently, and still gaining weight, only to be told that your thyroid labs are “normal”?
