  • Don’t Take HRT Like This! Optimal Dosages, Delivery Methods and Forms - Zora Benhamou
    2025/08/04

    In this solo episode, I’m answering your most frequently asked, and often misunderstood, questions about hormone therapy, pulled straight from the YouTube comment section. Whether you’re just starting HRT or deep into your menopause journey, we cover the nuance, the science, and the practical tips that help you become the expert on your own body. If you’ve ever wondered why progesterone makes you anxious, how much estrogen is “enough,” or what delivery method actually works best…you’re not alone, and this episode is for you.

    What we cover in this episode:

    • Should you cycle HRT after menopause…or go continuous?

    • Why some women react poorly to progesterone

    • What the research says about vaginal estradiol and clotting risk

    • Why you should not apply estrogen to your chest

    • What’s really the “right” dose of estrogen gel or cream—and how to know if it’s working

    • How rectal progesterone compares to oral and vaginal

    • The difference between birth control clotting risks vs. menopause HRT

    • And why testing is essential to make sure your hormones are doing what you want them to do

  • Tantra Isn't What You Think - Sex, Intimacy and Soulgasms - Dominique D’Vita
    2025/07/28
    Have you heard about tantra, but assumed it was all about sex? Same here. But after this conversation with certified Tantra educator Dominique D’Vita, I realized I had it all wrong. In this episode, Dominique completely debunks the common myths about tantra and reveals how it can be a powerful path to nervous system regulation, deeper intimacy, and even greater vitality, especially in midlife. We explore: Why tantra is often mistaken for just “better sex” How tantra can help you reconnect to your body and life force The real reasons we carry so much shame around self-pleasure Why women in midlife may be craving more intimacy, and it’s not just physical What the heck a soulgasm actually is (and how it feels) Dominique D’Vita is a Registered Nurse, Certified Tantra Educator, and trauma-informed Master Coach who helps women reconnect to their bodies, activate their pleasure, and live a more vibrant, turned-on life especially during perimenopause and menopause. She was working as a nurse for decades helping save lives, and then after her own encounter with a tantric lover, she realized that too many women were surviving but not truly living. Although she helps women in midlife to reignite their sensual energy, her program and practice is very much about helping us regulate our nervous system, and harness pleasure as a form of medicine to boost vitality, intimacy, and joy.

  • Vision Loss & Dry Eyes: Hormones or Aging? How To Stop It - Dr. Meenal Agarwal
    2025/07/25
    Do you have dry eyes—but not sure if it’s hormonal or just aging? Wearing glasses but hoping to reverse your near- or far-sightedness naturally? Curious whether HRT, Lasik, or something else is the best option to protect your eyes from macular degeneration and cataracts? Then this episode is for you. Like many women, I started noticing changes in my eyesight in my 40s. I don’t love wearing glasses, so I’ve been getting by with just one contact lens—but according to today’s guest, Dr. Meenal Agarwal, that might not be the best idea. We cover: How menopause affects our vision and eye structure The top 3 ways to get rid of dry eyes (spoiler: it’s not eye drops) What really works to protect against macular degeneration and cataracts The surprising role estrogen plays in eye health Whether supplements and diet can truly preserve or even reverse damage The truth about those online programs promising to improve your vision Microchips to improve eye sight - is this the future or now? Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a board-certified ophthalmologist with over two decades of experience in eye care, specializing in the prevention and treatment of age-related vision changes and a leading authority on the eye-brain connection. With a deep understanding of how hormonal shifts affect the eyes, Dr. Agarwal is passionate about educating women—especially those in perimenopause and postmenopause—on how to preserve their vision, manage dry eyes, and prevent degenerative conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. She combines conventional medical expertise with a holistic lens to help women protect one of their most vital senses as they age.

  • Got Osteopenia or Osteoporosis? Follow This Protocol - Zora Benhamou
    2025/07/11

    Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I’m starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts. But more importantly, I’ll show you the bigger picture beyond the T-score—and what the latest science (plus insights from leaders in the osteoporosis space) tells us about building strong, resilient bones through biohacking, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle.

    We cover:

    • The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

    • What your DEXA scan doesn’t tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights

    • Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT

    • The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs

    • Which markers may be more important than BMD scores

    • The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones

    • Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health
