  • Ep. 198 - Navigating ADHD and Menopause with Shanna Pearson
    2025/12/23
    In this eye opening episode of Not Your Mother's Menopause Podcast, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Shanna Pearson, a world-renowned expert on adult ADHD with over 26 years of experience. For the woman who feels like the wheels are suddenly coming off the bus in midlife, this conversation is the explanation you've been searching for. Shanna cuts through the noise with a compassionate yet honest perspective. She explains why ADHD is not a superpower for many women who have been silently struggling, but a very manageable reality that requires specific tools—tools that often stop working during the hormonal upheaval of perimenopause. The episode dives deep into the crucial link between declining estrogen and plummeting dopamine, revealing why previously hidden ADHD symptoms can erupt and overwhelm at this life stage. Together, Fiona and Shanna unpack the heartbreaking cycle of misdiagnosis, where women are frequently labeled with anxiety or depression, given the wrong medications, and left feeling hopeless as their core challenges go unaddressed. Shanna provides a masterclass on the internal experience of ADHD, from the exhaustive daily masking and paralyzing overwhelm to the emotional intensity that stems from a brain that cannot compartmentalize. Most importantly, this dialogue offers a powerful pathway forward. Shanna shares actionable insights on mood scheduling, reframing self-compassion, and finding the right "brush for your curly hair"—the specific strategies that can work with your unique brain wiring. This is an essential listen for any woman who has ever asked, "Why can't I just…?" or felt profoundly misunderstood by the world and herself.

  • Ep. 197 - The Menobesties Roundtable: Navigating the Wilds of Perimenopause, HRT & Advocacy
    2025/12/16
    In this lively and unfiltered gathering, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by her beloved "Meno Besties," hormone specialist Karen Martel and longevity expert Zora Benhamou. This is a candid conversation between three leading voices who've been in the menopause advocacy space long before it was trending. They tackle the frustrating realities women still face, from doctors dismissing requests for hormone testing to the enduring stigma around the word "menopause" itself. The discussion delves into the critical need for education and self-advocacy, emphasizing that despite increased awareness, a shockingly low percentage of women are actually on hormone therapy. Fiona, Karen, and Zora break down the early, subtle signs of perimenopause that often go unrecognized and explain the rollercoaster of "wonky periods." They also provide crucial insights into the practicalities of hormone therapy, addressing why some women don't feel better initially, the importance of dosage adjustments, and why partnering closely with your prescriber is non-negotiable. The conversation takes a fascinating turn into how past trauma and nervous system health may influence one's response to HRT, highlighting the profound mind-body connection during this transition. This episode is a masterclass in navigating midlife health with clarity, humor, and the supportive solidarity of friends who truly get it.

  • Ep. 196 - Naturopathic Medicine for Breast Cancer with Dr. Laura James
    2025/12/09
    In this compelling conversation on this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes naturopathic oncologist Dr. Laura James to pull back the curtain on the breast cancer journey. They dive deep into what it truly means to receive a breast cancer diagnosis and navigate what Dr. James candidly terms "the breast cancer industrial complex." This discussion moves far beyond simplistic narratives to explore the profound importance of personalized, integrative care that addresses the whole person—not just the tumor. Dr. James demystifies complex terminology, explaining the critical differences between receptor statuses and what a genetic link really means for risk. She outlines the distinct phases of treatment and emphasizes why having an informed advocate, like a naturopathic oncologist, can be transformative in helping women understand their options and ask the right questions. The conversation takes an honest look at the often-overlooked emotional and systemic realities, including the burden of shame, the critical need for a "buddy system," and the stark limitations of protocol-driven, siloed medicine. Perhaps most impactful is their exploration of life after treatment, including the controversial yet vital discussion around hormone replacement therapy for survivors. Dr. James provides a nuanced perspective on weighing quality of life and long-term health risks, advocating for women's right to make fully informed decisions for their bodies and their futures. This episode is an empowering resource for anyone touched by breast cancer, offering clarity, compassion, and a bold new framework for healing.
