Women’s bodies change over time, and in the late 30s and 40s, shifts in weight, energy, or how clothes fit are common. These changes often happen before perimenopause and are influenced by hormones, stress, and how the body responds to lifestyle and daily habits. Understanding these patterns can help women see their bodies clearly, without judgment or confusion. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor explores the early changes that occur during the late reproductive stage and perimenopause. She...
In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by Samantha Hawley, a journaling coach who helps women process emotions, uncover their needs, and find their voice. She shares how her experience as a new mom during the pandemic led her to develop strategic journaling — a method for exploring feelings, identifying patterns, and creating actionable steps toward a calmer, more balanced life. She explains practical journaling prompts, the concept of micro steps, and how this approach can help manage...
Many women experience changes in their desire and comfort with intimacy as they move through midlife. What once felt natural or easy may begin to feel distant, inconsistent, or harder to access. These shifts are common, yet they’re rarely talked about, which can leave women uncertain about what’s normal and unsure of where to turn for support. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by Dr. Christine Vaccaro, a urogynecologist and women’s sexual health expert. She explains how hormonal ...
Wellness begins in the mind before it’s felt in the body. The thoughts we carry, the words we use, and the stories we tell ourselves influence how we move, heal, and show up each day. When our mindset is rooted in self-criticism or doubt, it can limit what’s possible for our health and growth. A shift in perspective can open new space for confidence, connection, and change. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor explores the hidden link between mindset and wellness. She shares how self-talk sha...
Hydration is more than just drinking water. It reflects how our bodies manage electrolytes, adapt to stress, and respond to hormonal rhythms. Understanding when and how your body needs extra support can help you feel more energized, clear, and grounded through every phase of life. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor explores what current research reveals about hydration and electrolyte needs for women. She explains when additional minerals can make a difference, how to choose the right balan...
Premenstrual mood concerns are often over-normalized or dismissed, yet they can have a significant impact on well-being, relationships, and quality of life. Understanding the patterns of your cycle and the ways hormonal shifts influence mood and mental health can empower you to take informed steps toward support and balance. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by Dr. Anna Glezer, a reproductive and integrative psychiatrist specializing in women’s hormonal and mental health. Dr. Gle...
Pregnancy can bring moments that feel heavier than expected — waking up tired, running out of breath after simple tasks, but at what point is it beyond normal pregnancy? Excessive fatigue that rest alone doesn’t fix can be a sign of anemia and addressing this early can have a massive impact on pregnancy outcomes. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by Sarah Thompson, a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, doula, and functional medicine practitioner specializing in maternity care. Wit...
There comes a time when the familiar rhythms of your body begin to shift — energy dips in unexpected ways, sleep feels less restorative, or the habits that once kept you balanced no longer seem to work. It’s easy to dismiss these changes as “just part of getting older,” but they’re often your body’s way of asking for a new kind of attention. These shifts don’t have to feel like setbacks; they can become an invitation to care for yourself with deeper compassion and curiosity. In this episode, ...
Maybe you’ve been powering through back-to-back deadlines, late-night emails, and endless to-do lists — only to notice your energy is tanking, your sleep is off, or your body feels out of sync. You keep telling yourself it’s just stress, just being busy, just part of chasing success. But there’s that quiet question underneath it all: what if this pace is costing you more than you realize? For many women, the struggle isn’t about willpower. It’s about missing the right conversations on how you...
Ovulation is more than a step in the fertility process. It’s a key driver of hormonal balance and an important sign of overall health. Knowing when and if you’re ovulating can uncover hidden imbalances, offer insight into conditions such as PCOS or perimenopause, and guide more informed health decisions at every stage of life. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor shares how to recognize the signs of ovulation, clear up common myths, and use simple tools to track it with confidence. She explain...
In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by Christina Nguyen, a licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner with over 15 years of experience in fertility care. Drawing from both her clinical background and her own decision to undergo egg freezing, Christina offers a clear, deeply informed perspective on how fertility preservation works, why timing matters, and what often gets overlooked when women explore this path too late. Through honest, practical insights, she sheds ...
Have you ever followed a healthy routine: eating balanced meals, staying active, doing all the right things, yet still felt completely out of sync with your body? Maybe your fatigue isn’t improving, your skin’s acting up, your periods are getting worse, or your doctor tells you “everything looks fine.” For many women, these symptoms are the result of nutrient depletion and hormonal imbalances that aren’t being addressed by conventional care. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by S...
You’re trying to stay on top of nutrition, sleep, and movement, but things still feel different. Maybe your periods are less predictable. Maybe your stress response is heightened. Maybe you're just not feeling as grounded in your body as you used to. Perimenopause isn’t just one moment or milestone — it’s a progression. And understanding where you are in that transition can make all the difference in how you support your hormones, your energy, and your mental clarity. In this episode, Dr. Mir...
Have you ever felt like something’s off with your body but no one’s taking it seriously? From subtle digestive issues and low energy to pelvic pain and mood swings, endometriosis can quietly affect fertility long before anyone puts a name to it. And for many, the search for answers feels frustrating and isolating. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Liza Klassen, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in fertility and endometriosis, to unpack how endo can interfere with conc...
Despite best intentions, most women are unknowingly under-eating two of the most foundational nutrients for hormone health: protein and fiber. And the ripple effects show up in your energy, mood, digestion, cravings, sleep, and more. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down what your body actually needs to feel steady and supported. She walks you through how to hit realistic daily targets, why the timing of protein matters, and how to make food choices that leave you energized, not exh...
Ever feel like your body’s changing and no one prepared you for it? From unpredictable cycles to brain fog, mood swings, and sleepless nights, perimenopause and menopause can feel confusing and isolating. Most women enter this transition without a clear understanding of what’s happening or what support is available beyond “just deal with it." In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, a board-certified OB-GYN and founder of Uplift For Her, to talk about what rea...
Did you know most women don’t get pelvic floor care until after problems start — even though prevention could make all the difference? From pregnancy to perimenopause, your movement patterns, strength, and hormones shape your health more than you think. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Monika Tangney, a pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist, to talk about what really happens to women’s bodies during perimenopause and why now is the time to focus on strength, mo...
Feeling drained, foggy, or like your body’s working against you, but not sure why? For many women, it’s not just hormones. It could be low creatine levels, too. Despite its reputation as a gym supplement for men, creatine is one of the most researched and most overlooked supports for women’s health. Its impact goes far beyond the gym, affecting everything from mental clarity and mood to cycle health and energy. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down how creatine supports women throug...
Did you know your egg cells have more mitochondria than any other cell in your body? That’s because fertility requires energy—and mitochondria are in charge of making it. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor talks with Dr. Kalea Wattles, a naturopathic doctor and functional fertility specialist, about how mitochondrial health plays a central role in reproductive longevity, egg quality, and fertility outcomes. With a unique background working alongside IVF clinics and functional medicin...
