The Protocol That Slows Aging and Reversed Her Multiple Sclerosis - Dr. Terry Wahls
Do you have multiple sclerosis in your family history? Have you been recently diagnosed—or just want to lower your risk of this neurodegenerative autoimmune condition? Then this episode is for you. Dr. Terry Wahls returns to the show to help us connect the dots between MS, menopause, and midlife health. A former athlete turned wheelchair-bound physician, Dr. Wahls reversed her own secondary progressive MS using a radical diet and lifestyle protocol—and now she's teaching others to do the same. We cover: A refresher on what MS is (and why it matters more in midlife) The lifestyle non-negotiables Dr. Wahls uses to keep her MS in remission The overlap between menopause and MS symptoms—and how to tell the difference Why MS affects women 2–3 times more than men How the menopause transition can accelerate MS progression Brain health hacks and supplements to protect cognition in perimenopause and beyond What most doctors still get wrong about Hashimoto's, MS, and other autoimmune conditions in women Why strength, resilience, and radical healing are possible—even in your 60s and beyond Dr. Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, author, and clinical researcher specializing in multiple sclerosis. She was awarded the IFM's Linus Pauling Award for her groundbreaking work in patient care and advocacy. Diagnosed with secondary progressive MS and once confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair, Dr. Wahls used diet and lifestyle changes to transform her health. Her Wahls Protocol is now used by thousands of patients worldwide to treat chronic autoimmune and neurological conditions.

Is your libido MIA—and testosterone cream isn't cutting it? This episode may just blow your mind. Dr. Saida Désilets joins us to reveal what most midlife women have never been taught about desire, intimacy, and reclaiming pleasure during and after the menopause transition. We cover: Why libido loss in menopause isn't just about low testosterone The bio-psycho-social model of desire (and why it matters) What "sexual sovereignty" actually means—and why it's essential in midlife How long-term relationships impact desire (and how to reignite it) The role of self-pleasure and how to get comfortable with it One powerful first step to reclaiming your sexual vitality The biggest lie women are told about sex after menopause Dr. Saida Désilets is a French-Canadian who holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology, blending mind–body–spirit healing with conscious sexuality. She is considered an international body-philosopher, speaker, writer, and pioneer in the field of sexual sovereignty and embodied pleasure. She is a Tedx speaker, and her scientifically-proven work on sexual sovereignty globally impacts professionals and the public.

Can You Reverse Osteoarthritis? Menopause Impacts on OA - Ali Mobasheri
Do your knees hurt when you stand up? Are you losing range of motion in your hips? Have you been told you have osteoarthritis—but left without real guidance or solutions? You're not alone. When I was first diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, I didn't even know what it meant. A quick online search gave me generic advice like "lose weight," which as an athletic person was the last thing I needed to do. Maybe you're in the same boat—searching for better answers. That's why I invited Professor Ali Mobasheri to the show. He's one of the world's leading experts on osteoarthritis, aging, and joint health—and in this conversation, he breaks down what we really need to know about OA and can we reverse it, especially during midlife and menopause. We cover: What osteoarthritis actually is and how it differs from other types of arthritis and osteoporosis Why osteoarthritis is not just a "wear and tear" condition How widespread osteoarthritis truly is—and why the numbers are underestimated How menopause influences joint health and increases OA risk Why younger adults are increasingly being diagnosed Whether it's possible to reverse osteoarthritis Which treatments and holistic strategies are most promising Why research around hormone therapy and OA is still lacking Professor Ali Mobasheri is a globally recognized expert in musculoskeletal biology and osteoarthritis research. He is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Biology at the University of Oulu in Finland and a Past President of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Chief Researcher & International Adviser at the State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine in Lithuania He is an active member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS). His research explores the intersection of inflammation, metabolism, and joint aging, with a focus on early diagnosis and prevention. He also serves as an adviser to the World Health Organization and sits on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those focused on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and regenerative medicine. He has published over 400 scientific papers and holds an h-index of 78—an extraordinary achievement in academic research.
