    Ep. 156 - Heart Health for Women with Dr. Jayne Morgan
    Feb 4 2025
    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. February is Women's Heart Health month and for today's episode, I am joined by the extraordinary Dr. Jayne Morgan, Cardiologist and VP of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart. Heart health for women is a hot topic and Dr. Morgan and I speak about the importance of women being aware of their heart heath throughout life but particularily at menopause. Listen in and learn how your pregnancy experience can predict future heart concerns. Dr. Morgan also tells us exactly how to ask our doctor for necessary tests to keep our heart health in mind. Estrogen affects cardiovascular health and how perimenopause is a time of great change for our heart. We discuss how a heart attack presents for women (hint: it's different from the classic presentation that men can experience!) and what symptoms you shouldn't ignore. These are common symptoms that might make you wonder if you, too, should ask your doctor to check out your heart! You can find more from Dr Jayne Morgan and see her Stairwell Chronicles on IG here.

    Jan 28 2025
    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. What does it take to optimize health at perimenopause and menopause? Dr. Scott Sherr is here to help us sort through the details of making the second half of your life, the best half! Let's prioritize wellness above all else. The root cause of health is quite simple: it's all the things you think it should be - food, movement, sleep, relationships, etc. And it's paying attention to your metabolic and mitochondrial health. We might here these words thrown around but do we really know what to do to help ourselves? Dr Scott Sherr suggests we can set the disease aside and optimize our health measures. We talk about methylene blue for our mitochondria (think: brain fog, low energy, sleep issues, sluggish detox and more) and I am all in on this health-hack (check out Troscriptions link below for where I get my methylene blue), and I bet you will be too! Scott suggests we act as a bridge between medicine and alternative medicine, opening up the information access for all. Find out more about Dr Scott Sherr here.

Mary arrives for our chat today ready to share the phenomenon of PTSD and menopause. This isn’t just for women veterans, but for all of us.

And many of the symptoms of PTSD and perimenopause overlap. What is a girl in uniform to do to get help? This conversation is for you if you have experienced an abuse of power, experienced a trauma or if you are wanting to understand if the anxiety, sleeplessness, lack of contentment and other symptoms which are related to PTSD.

  • Ep. 153 - Menopause in the Workplace with Jack Tuckner and Catherine Crider

    Ep. 153 - Menopause in the Workplace with Jack Tuckner and Catherine Crider
    Jan 14 2025

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

    A critically important issue on the show today - women’s rights in the workplace especially in our menopause transition years. Many symptoms can derail our best efforts at work when we are perimenopausal, and often we can find ourselves not at our best. But what protections do we have?

    Today, I speak with Jack Tucker and Catherine Crider - women’s rights in the workplace attorneys and women’s rights advocates. Did you know 20% of the workforce in America is between 40-65? You aren't alone if you feel unable to complete your job in the same way you always have! Asking for accommodations can feel hard, but might be easier than you think.

    Listen in to learn where and how to advocate for yourself, and where your protections may lie. Catherine and Jack shares tips on how to ask for accommodations at work for those menopause symptoms. Don't quit, they say. You can demand fair treatment and equality in the workplace.

    You can find out more about Jack and Catherine’s work here - womensrightsny.com.

  • Ep. 150 - Magnesium for Perimenopause and Prevention of Aging with Dr. Greg Kelly

    Ep. 150 - Magnesium for Perimenopause and Prevention of Aging with Dr. Greg Kelly
    Dec 24 2024

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

    Many of us have heard that magnesium is important for our health, but have we heard why? Dr. Greg Kelly returns to the show in this episode to discuss the powerhouse of magnesium. Turns out, you cannot go wrong by adding magnesium to your supplements! More than 50% of us are deficient and the kind of magnesium you want to supplement with, can be confusing. Not all magnesium is the same and the bioavailability makes a huge difference.

    We discuss the role of magnesium in aging hallmarks, in energy production, in brain health and menstrual health too. Magnesium protects us from the effects of chronic stress too.

    Dr. Kelly and I also discuss the role of Akkermansia in the microbiome of people who have smaller bodies and whether therapy with it can help solve the conundrum of weight for some of us. This is an exciting development!

    Greg also shares the updates to cellular senescence - cellular aging, the right cutting edge of anti-aging medicine. We talk about muscle stem cells and more. As always, Dr. Kelly brings the science to the people, and we are better for it!

  • Ep. 149 - Art As Healer At Midlife with Creativity and Grief Coach Susie Stonefield

    Ep. 149 - Art As Healer At Midlife with Creativity and Grief Coach Susie Stonefield
    Dec 17 2024

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

    When Susie Stonefield emailed us and said "I make people cry with art supplies" we knew we had to follow up and ask questions! Susie is a Creativity and Grief Coach, and teaches us how to art journal; using art supplies to help us express the feelings we cannot necessarily put words to. Something she calls "the wordless heart". Susie gives us permission to kindness, to compassion and to treat ourselves gently.

    Grief is an obstruction, Susie teaches us. And it prevents us from finding balance, and experiencing the lovely parts of life often. We shared our own experiences in this conversation - grief, midlife, holding on tight to keep the wheels on the bus, like so many of you. I know you will find yourself and sweet relief in this beautiful conversation, just like I did.

    Susie created a gorgeous workbook for us, I loved playing with the exercises within. 🩷 You can download that workbook right here.

    Find out more about Susie Stonefield on IG @creativity_midwife and her website (she hosts retreats in her NoCal art studio 🎨): unfoldart.com.
