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

In this episode, we explore gut health and how it impacts overall well-being. Martha Carlin, founder of BiotiQuest, shares her journey into gut health science after her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. That experience led her to leave her to build a science-driven company focused on gut health and chronic disease.

The conversation examines how gut health is connected to chronic conditions such as leaky gut, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and inflammation. We also discuss how everyday lifestyle factors can either support or disrupt the gut, including:

• Diet and the impact of the Western food system
• Antibiotics and gut recovery
• Exercise and gut resilience
• Sleep, stress, and nervous system balance

Our guest today is Hannah Hembree Bell. She is an award winning Austin family law attorney, mom of four, and the founder and CEO of Hembree Bell Law, one of the fastest growing family law firms in the country.

This episode covers so much ground and it is such an important conversation for women, especially in midlife. We start by talking about why marriage and partnership can feel different during menopause and beyond. We discuss why issues like imbalance, resentment, and emotional disconnect can start to surface and why this season of life can be such a turning point for relationships.

Hannah shares practical ways to nurture your marriage, improve communication, and keep your partnership healthy and supportive. We also talk honestly about what happens when the decision to divorce is made. Where to start, what to think about early on, and some common pitfalls to avoid so you feel more empowered and less overwhelmed.

There truly is something for every woman in this episode, whether you are working to strengthen your marriage, navigating big changes in midlife, or considering what is next for you.

If you are starting the New Year focused on getting healthy, losing weight, and finally feeling consistent with your wellness habits, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Jenn Trepeck shares her refreshingly simple approach to health and wellness, inspired by her book Uncomplicating Wellness. With years of experience as a health coach, Jenn helps listeners cut through the noise of online wellness trends and influencer advice, and instead focus on what actually works long term.

Rather than extreme diets or constantly starting over, Jenn explains how to build sustainable habits that support weight loss, energy, digestion, and mental clarity without overwhelm. This conversation is especially helpful for anyone who feels confused by conflicting nutrition advice or stuck in an all or nothing cycle with food and health.

What You Will Learn in This Episode

• How to simplify your wellness routine without sacrificing results
• Why nutrient diversity matters more than restriction for weight loss
• The role minerals and electrolytes play in hydration and metabolism
• How to define personal wellness goals that actually fit your life
• Common wellness myths and why trendy health advice often backfires
• How elimination diets work and when they may or may not be helpful
• Daily wellness habits that support fat loss and energy
• Mindset shifts that help prevent stress eating
• How to navigate the New Year without the start over mentality

Why This Episode Matters for the New Year

The New Year often comes with pressure to reset, detox, or overhaul everything at once. Jenn encourages a different approach rooted in clarity, consistency, and self trust. Instead of chasing trends, you will learn how to support your body in a way that feels realistic and empowering.
