What if symptoms dismissed as “just menopause” are connected to your gut? Dr. Amy Myers sits down with Cynthia Thurlow, NP, to explore the menopause-gut connection, the estrobolome, immune health, trauma, hormones, and bio-individual nutrition. Cynthia shares the health crisis that led to a 13-day hospitalization after a ruptured appendix, pancolitis, and complications that continued after she returned home. She later learned that Giardia had contributed to her prolonged illness, changing how she viewed the gut microbiome, declining estrogen, and the immune system. Dr. Amy and Cynthia discuss estrogen processing, bowel regularity, brain fog, mood, skin changes, weight resistance, the gut-brain and gut-ovarian axes, trauma, hormone testing, protein, fiber, and why strategies may need to change across menopause. What You’ll Learn What the estrobolome is and why it matters for estrogen processing How gut health, hormones, immune function, and brain health communicate How trauma and chronic stress may shape the menopause transition Why common midlife symptoms deserve a deeper look Why protein, fiber, nourishment, and bio-individuality matter About Cynthia Thurlow, NP Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, women’s health expert, and host of the Everyday Wellness podcast.

Fasting is not a one-size-fits-all tool—especially for women. In this episode of Take Back Your Health®, Dr. Amy Myers sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to explore fasting, metabolic health, blood sugar, ketosis, autophagy, menopause, trauma, and the importance of working with female biology instead of against it. Dr. Mindy explains why fasting may need to look different during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postmenopause. She also shares how trauma, strength training, protein, nervous-system regulation, and community fit into the bigger picture. They also discuss practical questions: how long to fast, when longer fasts may be useful, whether coffee affects a fast, how to exercise while fasting, and how to protect muscle during a refeed. This is an educational conversation about Dr. Mindy’s perspective and experience—not individualized medical advice.

What if a diagnosis changes your entire future before you have time to process what is happening?

Jordan shares how he lost a dramatic amount of weight as a teenager, tried countless approaches, and eventually found a real-food and faith-centered path that he says helped him recover. Years later, he describes a focused 40-day period that included nutrition, sunlight, sauna use, body therapies, prayer, emotional healing, and objective testing after a frightening cancer prognosis.
