After a decade in emergency medicine, Dr. Gajer shifted her focus to proactive, root-cause care centered on metabolic health, habit change, and improving healthspan. We talk about what’s missing in modern medicine, why being told “it’s just genetic” is rarely the full story, and how insulin resistance quietly drives many midlife symptoms.

We dive into fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and loss of vitality, especially during perimenopause, and how insulin resistance, muscle loss, inflammation, gut health, thyroid and cortisol imbalance, and hormone shifts all connect. Dr. Gajer explains insulin resistance in simple terms and why the eat less move more approach often backfires in midlife.

What we cover:

• Why midlife weight gain often comes down to insulin resistance
• What insulin is doing behind the scenes
• Why genetics are not the whole picture
• The metabolism shift that works in midlife: building muscle and stabilizing blood sugar
• Protein and fiber targets for metabolic health
• Simple tools like post-meal walks and consistent eating windows
• How sleep and light exposure affect insulin resistance
• Perimenopause hormone changes and sleep disruption

I’m joined by Bria Gadd, a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner who specializes in hormones and women’s health. Bria breaks down what is actually happening in perimenopause, why so many women feel dismissed or confused during this phase, and how years of stress and survival mode create what she calls health debt. Also how unexpected weight gain happens and what to do about it!

We talk about the foundations every woman needs before chasing the next supplement or protocol, including the four key pillars of health.

In this episode, we cover:

1. What is really happening in perimenopause and why symptoms can start earlier than expected
2. Why so many women feel exhausted, inflamed, or stuck despite doing “all the right things”
3. The concept of health debt and how it builds over time
4. The four key pillars of health every woman needs to focus on
5. Why hormone symptoms are often a signal, not the root problem
6. A clear and grounded discussion on peptides and when they may or may not be helpful

I’m joined by Letao Wang, a professional counseling astrologist and spiritual counselor based in Hong Kong, for a grounded and eye opening conversation on Chinese astrology and the energetic shift ahead as we move into the Year of the Fire Horse in 2026.

We begin by reflecting on the Year of the Wood Snake and the slower, more introspective energy that defined this cycle. Letao explains how the transition into the Fire Horse year marks a powerful change in pace, bringing faster movement, heightened intensity, and opportunities for rapid transformation.

In this episode:

• The shift from Wood Snake energy to Fire Horse energy and what that means emotionally and energetically
• How fire years can accelerate change and where they can create burnout if we move too fast
• How different Chinese zodiac signs may experience 2026 differently
• Practical guidance for navigating Lunar New Year and the months ahead with intention and balance
