Feeling bloated, gassy, backed up? Have you noticed changes in your bowel movements as you've aged? You're not alone. Nearly 40% of older adults have one or more age-related digestive symptoms each year. Gastroenterologist Dr. Colleen Parker takes us on a fascinating tour of our gastrointestinal system and our gut microbiome, and tells us what changes as we get older, why we might experience more issues such as constipation and bloating and what we can do about it. What role do hormones, menopause, stress and even medications play in our digestive changes? What about the mind-gut connection? Is leaky gut really a thing? She also helps us determine what is a "normal" bowel movement from an abnormal one and when to seek care. Finally, she tells us when and how laxatives like Senokot can be used to help ease symptoms and get things moving again.

The next frontier for employers in the workplace is providing comprehensive menopause support for employees going through the transition. Retaining top talent in women 40+ is an economic imperative so where do employers go to offer this care?

She shares how her own journey through menopause on the job inspired her to start sanoMidLife. She discusses why offering menopause benefits is so necessary, what benefits are most needed, how to negotiate to get them, and how women can access menopause care beyond the workplace to thrive through midlife. Finally, how sanoMidLife is leveraging the power of AI to optimize care. If you're a boss, this episode is for you.

So, you're learning more about menopause every day, but how much does your workplace support you in your journey? Does your boss know or care what you're going through? There are 10 million women aged 40 and up in Canada. Two million are between the ages of 45 and 55, and if they're in the workplace, many are in their peak earning years. The majority of us will experience menopause symptoms that interfere with daily activities and 10% of us will leave work due to debilitating symptoms. So, how can workplaces be supportive during this period and allow us to be as productive as possible? That is the conversation in this podcast episode.

October is Menopause Awareness Month, and in recognition of this, I’m dedicating every episode to unique and important conversations about menopause. In April, I hosted an incredible event with leading experts: Dr. Sheila Wajayasignhe, Janet Ko, founder of the Menopause Foundation of Canada, and menopause coach and fitness expert Amanda Thebe. Together, these experts tackled all the big questions: - What is menopause, and does everyone experience it?- How severe can the symptoms get, and are any of them dangerous? - What treatments are available, and is hormone therapy suitable for everyone? - How do I access proper care, and what can I do if my doctor isn’t taking me seriously? - How can lifestyle changes help manage symptoms? - What can I do if my mental health is suffering? - How does menopause affect sex drive and urinary incontinence? - Why am I gaining weight, and how can I stop it? Plus, we addressed even more audience questions, diving deep into every aspect of this life transition. We cover it all—so tune in to listen, learn, and even share a laugh on the next episode of *Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo*.Episode supported by Always Discreet (@AlwaysDiscreet on Instagram)!

Welcome to the season two premiere of Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo! I'm kicking off the season with some big time inspiration from someone who is the definition of aging powerfully: Grammy-winning singer, dancer and choreographer, Paula Abdul! At 62, she continues to tour, perform grueling shows and singing live. How does she do it? She shares her regimen including how she eats, sleeps and moves her body. In the first half of the episode, we discuss Paula's big break into showbiz, the famous family who helped launch her career and how she learned to handle fame. In the second half of the conversation, Paula talks about aging in a business that favours the young, going through menopause and managing injuries and pain at the same time. Finally, Paula shares her advice to younger women and tells us who her favourite pop stars are today, including how she helped singer-dancer Tate McRae get a start in the business.

It's an uncomfortable truth: Canada is not immune from racism, nor is our healthcare system. If you have to interact with the healthcare system, will you get the care you need? Will you get the care you deserve regardless of your age, your race, your gender or the language you speak? Will your elderly parents get the care they need and deserve? Family physician and preventive medicine specialist Dr. Onye Nnorum breaks down systemic racism in medicine and how it can impact all of us. She also discusses solutions to improve the system so that we can all feel safe and heard by our healthcare practitioners.

Have you sneezed or coughed and had a little pee accident? Are you suffering from urinary incontinence? Has sex ever been painful for you? These are just some of the symptoms of genitourinary syndrome. Up to 80% of menopausal women can suffer from it. It is caused by low estrogen levels in the tissues of the urinary tract and the female genital tract. Why is understanding pelvic floor health important? Well, urinary incontinence is one of the top reasons women are admitted to long-term care homes and it can have drastic effects on mental, social and physical health. On this episode of the show, physiotherapist and researcher Dr. Sinead Dufour and Erin Craven, CEO of UROSPOT - clinics that focus on pelvic healthcare for women and men - discuss the vital importance of understanding and treating the pelvic floor for overall health.

Supplements have been around for a long time with controversy among many doctors and researchers, but these days, there is an explosion of Menopause Supplements. Are they effective or just snake oil? How are they actually manufactured? How much money is actually being made? Can you automatically trust a doctor who is selling a supplement? Dr. Jen Gunter takes on the supplement industry and uncovers just how easy and dubious supplement manufacturing really is. She also discusses the latest update on how long you can safely be on menopause hormone therapy. Finally, while hormone therapy is in, has Gen Z decided that the birth control pill is out? What's behind the latest social media trend of saying no to The Pill by the younger generation of women? Is it bad for your health or just dangerous propaganda? These questions and more are answered by the internet's favourite myth-busting OB/GYN, Dr. Jen Gunter. Find Dr. Jen Gunter on her website DrJenGunter.com or on Instagram @DrJenGunter.

Some women want children, some don't, some can't. Hollywood may have us believing that women can give birth at almost any age, but is that true? Fertility physician and specialist, Dr. Kaajal Abrol (@kaajalabrolmd, @fertilitydoctalkpodcast) breaks it all down and so much more. For those who are thinking of children, what do we need to know about fertility as we age? Are infertility rates increasing in Canada and around the world? What about egg freezing? What's the best age to do this? How does it work? Is infertility hereditary? What lifestyle and environmental factors can affect female and male fertility? What role does stress play? How do you find a fertility clinic and when should you seek care? What medications and treatments are available to improve your chances of conception and pregnancy and how much do they cost each?

Aging and care in our older years impacts all of us... Have you ever thought about how you want to live out your senior years? Have you discussed this with your own aging parents? Maybe, you’re already caring for an elderly family member or have admitted them to a long-term care facility that can help them manage a disease like dementia or assist them with mobility issues. Today in Ontario, there are 76,000 residents in long-term care homes with another 30,000 people on waitlists. In the next five years, it’s estimated that an additional 50,000 people will need care in a nursing home in Ontario alone. But as Elder Rights Lawyer Melissa Miller discusses in this crucial episode, not all homes are providing the necessary care to residents, and in some cases, it appears that profits are put ahead of people. We also discuss the workers in these homes and the conditions many are forced to work under. What is life like as a caregiver to a senior or sick loved one? Finally, Melissa guides us through the discussions we all need have with our parents today and map out for ourselves how we want to live out our golden years in an informed and empowered way.If you want to learn even more, check out the documentary “Stolen Time” via the “Doc Soup” portal at hot docs online.Find Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG, or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com.
