When your energy, sleep, or focus changes, how do you start a conversation about what's going on?

Birdman meets Leslie Karr, nurse practitioner and owner of Optimize U in Chandler, to hear her story and explore her approach to hormone health and aging.

From serving in the Air Force to working in operating rooms, intensive care, and dialysis, Leslie's career has centered on caring for people. She shares what brought her from San Diego to Chandler—and what it's been like building a local practice from her very first patient.

Together, they discuss the concerns that bring men and women into her clinic, including fatigue, brain fog, sleep changes, and changes in body composition. Leslie explains how she uses conversations, lab work, and follow-up appointments to evaluate patients and guide individualized care. They also talk about perimenopause, menopause, testosterone, and the importance of discussing personal goals and family planning with a provider.

Behind the business is a personal vision: staying active, independent, and able to enjoy life as the years go by.

Listen to meet the person behind the practice and hear her perspective on asking questions about your health.

Join the conversation: What does staying active and independent as you age look like to you? Share the activities and experiences you hope to keep enjoying with Birdman.

One jar of wine jelly helped launch a business that now gives Arizona makers a place to shine.

Birdman visits d'Vine Gourmet in downtown Chandler to meet owner Denise McCreery and hear how a small food business became what he calls "shop local in a store."

From handmade caramels and savory snacks to gift baskets, wine, and locally crafted treasures, Denise shares the thinking behind a shop she says carries more than 150 Arizona vendors. Discover how she chooses products, why she buys directly from makers, and how her shelves give emerging entrepreneurs a chance to introduce their work to customers.

The conversation also takes a seat in the bottle shop and wine lounge, where the historic downtown Colonnade offers a place to unwind, visit with friends, and watch Chandler go by. And those towering ostriches? Denise shares the story behind the artwork the business helps care for—and her commitment to preserving downtown's character.

Listen, then stop by and tell Denise Birdman sent you. Whether you're choosing a gift or exploring your own neighborhood, there's a local story waiting on the shelf.

Join the conversation: What Arizona-made product would you put in a gift basket to show someone what you love about this state?
