Perimenopause can feel like a slow unraveling. You’re waking up at 3 a.m. Your anxiety feels new. Your periods are changing. Your skin, your sleep, your stress tolerance — all different. And yet, you’re told your labs are “normal.” In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with naturopathic physician Dr. Gusty Swift to talk honestly about midlife hormone shifts and why so many women feel dismissed during this stage of life. Instead of prescribing for symptoms alone, Dr. Swift explains her root-cause approach — looking at the thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries as an interconnected system, and addressing the nervous system as a key driver of perimenopausal change.

In this deeply personal conversation, Natasha Gregson Wagner returns to The SEAM Podcast to reflect on grief, legacy, and the quiet ways love is passed from mother to daughter. Speaking with Amy Cohen Epstein, Natasha shares how losing her mother, legendary actress Natalie Wood, shaped her identity, her motherhood, and her understanding of safety, love, and remembrance.

This conversation moves through grief without stigma, the long arc of healing, and the intimacy of mother-daughter bonds — especially as Natasha raises her own daughter, Clover. Natasha also opens up about her fragrance brand, L'Amour Mère (meaning "Mother Love" in French) is as an act of emotional alchemy: transforming loss into beauty, ritual, and connection across generations.
