She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

144: The evolutionary approach to midlife + menopause with Jenny Powers 45:27

24 дні тому45:27

45:27

Send us a text In this episode, host Ann Marie McQueen chats with Jenny Powers , scientist, writer, athlete and co-author of On the Origin of Being , about how modern society has veered far from the evolutionary way of living – and how that’s impacting our health, particularly for women in midlife. Jenny, a scientist with a PhD in microbiology and immunology, discusses how our biology has been shaped over millennia and why the mismatch between modern life and our evolved needs might be making perimenopause and menopause more challenging than they need to be. The conversation explores topics like nutrition, movement, sleep, light exposure, stress, and the role of community . Jenny shares her own journey through perimenopause, revealing the lifestyle changes that helped her eliminate symptoms including hot flashes, headaches, and inflammation. Could returning to our evolutionary roots be the ultimate biohack ? Tune in to find out! Episode Highlights: 🔹 Jenny shares how her experience as a scientist shaped her approach to perimenopause. 🔹 Evolutionary mismatch: Why modern women struggle with menopause more than our ancestors did. 🔹 The rise of modern diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. 🔹 How our disconnect from our bodies (thanks to tech and nonstop stimulation) affects our health. 🔹 Mythbusting: Did women really die at 50 in the past? (Spoiler: No!) 🔹 The lifestyle changes that eliminated Jenny’s perimenopausal symptoms. Powerful Quote from Jenny Powers "I feel like I've unlocked the secret of how to live longer—and actually enjoy it. Everyone says life is over after 50, but I’ve had more energy, more joy, and even a better sex drive just by making small changes. I don't have hot flashes anymore, I don't have headaches, and I don't have inflammation. It’s not about fighting aging—it’s about working with our biology the way nature intended."

Send us a text In this solo episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, host Ann Marie McQueen kicks things off by responding to a listener question about whether she's mega-dosing estrogen, breaking down how to check your prescription and what guidelines to follow. Then, she reflects on her recent experience giving a keynote speech at Arab Health – navigating imposter syndrome, unexpected encouragement, and how she bounced back from her "no one would help the little hen" moment. Ann Marie also dives into: How she’s declaring January 29 as Hotflash Inc 's official fresh start. The ongoing debate over hormone therapy and the pushback she gets from doctors. Why she's cutting out sugar (again) and the surprising effect it has on her pain levels. The challenges of standing up for herself, saying no, and asking for what she deserves. What happens when you think someone is hating your talk... and they turn out to be your biggest fan. Why she refuses to endorse fitness programs that don’t align with how she – and most women – wants to train. Plus, a shoutout to stay tuned for Hotflash inc Podcast guest Steph Ziev’s upcoming TEDx talk, a reminder to be the CEO of your own health, and an open invitation to text her – if she can ever figure out how to reply!

The dangers of conflating bioidentical progesterone with synthetic progestins. Why ovulation is critical for lifelong health and how the birth control pill can impact young women’s peak bone mass. Her research findings on progesterone as an effective treatment for perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and heavy flow. Dr. Prior also sheds light on the challenges researchers face in advancing women's health due to systemic biases in funding and publishing. She shares her hopes for the future and emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in how we approach women’s reproductive health.

140: Unpacking estrogen: myths, realities and menopause and midlife health with Lara Briden 1:08:01

6 weeks тому1:08:01

1:08:01

Send us a text In this episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, host Ann Marie McQueen is joined by naturopathic doctor and women’s health expert, Lara Briden. With decades of clinical experience, she is the author of three books: Period Repair Manua l, Hormone Repair Manual , and her newest release, Metabolism Repair for Women . Lara’s work focuses on empowering women with evidence-based knowledge to navigate their hormonal health, including through perimenopause and menopause. Together, they unravel the intricate world of estrogen, its role in women’s lives and how it connects to the challenges and opportunities of midlife health. From estrogen metabolism to hormone therapy myths and best practices, Lara provides actionable insights and science-backed advice to empower women on their health journeys. Key topics: Why estrogen is both celebrated and misunderstood. The evolution of hormone therapy and what’s changed since the Women’s Health Initiative. How progesterone fits into the midlife health equation. The relationship between estrogen metabolism, gut health, and lifestyle factors like diet and alcohol. Lara’s perspective on a renewed need to find balance in modern hormone therapies Explainer: Dr Ray Peat , who passed away in 2022, was an American biologist and researcher, and he believed metabolism was a foundation of health – helping to spawn the pro-metabolic movement. He was a progesterone researcher who believed estrogen is an inflammatory stress hormone that causes more health problems than it helps. The term we spoke about where you feel you need more and more of something that is actually making you feel worse is tachyphylaxis, and it's something that the British Menopause Society issued a warning about in 2023 . When Lara mentions a “four-fold” increase in dementia risks, she is referring to studies associated with heavy, long-term use. Other studies have found lower risks.

Send us a text Hotflash inc founder Ann Marie McQueen interviews Srini Bhat, a former monk and life enhancement coach she met at Kamalaya Wellness in Koh Samui, Thailand. Ann Marie discusses her transformative session with Srini, which set her on a path of positive change over the past 18 months. Srini shares insights on embracing the truth of one's current state, being present, and overcoming unconscious patterns that limit happiness. He emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, self-awareness, and genuine desire for happiness to lead a more fulfilled life. Srini also touches on the concept of living authentically and energetically by avoiding the 'five viruses' - complaining, blaming, self-pity, feeling like a victim, and comparison. This episode offers deep reflections and practical advice on living a conscious and joyful life.
