👉 Understand the deep connection between pelvic health, hormones, and overall wellness in midlife.
👉 Discover what you can actually do to take control, strengthen, and heal your pelvic floor — no shame, no filters.

We sat down with Dr. M. Natasha Rajah, Ph.D, Professor and Tier 1 Research Chair at Toronto Metropolitan University, to unpack what’s really happening in the brain during menopause — and why it’s time to rethink what we call “brain fog.”

🎙️ Episode Title: Taking Charge of Menopause, Longevity, & Primary Care
Guest: Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan, MD, Certified Menopause Specialist

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan, a board-certified family physician and North American Menopause Society (NAMS) certified menopause specialist, who’s rewriting the way women experience midlife care.

Originally trained in Ireland, Dr. O’Sullivan completed medical school and her first residency there before relocating to the U.S. in 2004, where she completed a second residency in Family Medicine at the University of Maryland. Her broad clinical experience spans urgent care, HIV care, gender-affirming care, and emergency medicine—bringing a truly intersectional, whole-person lens to her current work in menopause.

Dr. O’Sullivan is the founder of Portland Menopause Doc, a telemedicine practice serving women in Oregon and Washington, and co-founder of The Portland Menopause Collective, a physician-led initiative focused on educating both clinicians and communities on the science (and stigma) of menopause.

She’s also a frequent lecturer, podcast guest, and contributor to women’s health research, and co-host of the much-loved podcast, The Dusty Muffins, where she blends humor, science, and lived experience in every conversation.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The real risks (and benefits) of hormone therapy
• Why vaginal estrogen is underused and misunderstood
• What’s actually causing your UTIs, brain fog, and vaginal dryness
• How doctors are being trained—and where the system is failing women
• How humor and storytelling are tools for empowerment

Dr. O’Sullivan is the provider you wish you had: sharp, warm, honest, and deeply committed to making sure women stop being dismissed—and start being heard.

Think the scale tells the whole story? Think again.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the real reason you might be gaining fat, losing muscle, or missing early signs of bone loss—even if you're eating well and working out.
The secret? A DEXA scan.

Join us as we sit down with Tony Orlando, founder of DEXA+ and DEXASCAN.com, and a true pioneer in the body composition and bone density space. With over 25 years of experience, Tony has built one of the largest networks of DEXA providers in the U.S., making precision health testing accessible nationwide.

🔍 What a DEXA scan actually tells you (it’s way more than just fat %)
🧠 Why women in midlife need this data to track progress and protect long-term health
📉 How declining estrogen impacts fat, muscle, and bone—and how DEXA helps you see it
💡 How Tony turned his passion for longevity into a movement that’s changing preventive health

If you’re ready to ditch the scale, get real answers, and take control of your health—this episode is for you.

Why Gut Health Matters for Vaginal Health

Your gut and vagina are more connected than you think.

💬 In our latest expert interview, we sat down with microbiome specialist Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic to talk all things gut and vaginal health—and why supporting your gut can make a major difference in preventing vaginal infections, maintaining pH balance, and improving overall wellness (yes, including libido 💥).

Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic is a Clinical Pharmacist and internationally recognized expert in the human microbiome, with a special focus on probiotics and women’s health. She is the author of the Clinical Guide to Probiotic Products Available in Canada, used by healthcare professionals nationwide. Dragana is known for translating complex microbiome science into practical strategies for improving gut, vaginal, and overall health. She frequently speaks at international conferences and serves as an advisor on evidence-based probiotic use and microbiome support.

Here’s what we learned:

✨ A healthy gut microbiome supports a balanced vaginal microbiome
✨ Disruptions in gut bacteria (hello antibiotics, stress, poor diet) can throw off vaginal health
✨ Probiotics and nutrition play key roles in restoring balance
✨ Supporting your gut = supporting your immune system, mood, and hormones

🧠 Your gut and vagina communicate through the immune system, nervous system, and even the microbiome highway (yep, that’s real).
