Today’s conversation goes deep into the connection between confidence, sleep, and hormones, and why so many women over 40 are walking around exhausted, discouraged, and misdiagnosed. Kimberly Cunningham, board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of Cunningham Clinic, breaks down the real science behind night sweats, broken sleep cycles, low libido, stubborn fatigue, confidence dips, and that nagging feeling of “something is off.”

We talk sleep apnea, thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, vitamin deficiencies, cortisol, the myth of “just push through,” and the sleep hygiene habits that truly make a difference. If you’ve ever felt unseen or dismissed by a provider, you’ll especially appreciate our candid conversation about medical gaslighting.

This episode is your permission slip to feel good again: in your skin, your energy, and your confidence!

Today, we’re flipping the script. In Episode 81, our husbands join us to share what midlife, hormones, and healing have looked like from their side of the story. You’ll hear honest reflections on mood changes, intimacy shifts, medical frustration, caregiving, and the relief that came when we finally discovered hormone replacement therapy.

We talk testosterone, sleep, weight changes, depression, chronic pain, recovery, and how functional medicine helped us rebuild our energy, confidence, and connection. Whether you’re exploring HRT or simply want a deeper look at how midlife affects relationships, this conversation brings clarity AND heart.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling unseen, unheard, or even doubting your own body, this episode is for you!

In this conversation, I sit down with my trusted friend and guest expert, Kimberly Cunningham, founder of Cunningham Clinic, to talk about medical gaslighting: what it is, why it happens so often to women (especially women of color), and how you can begin to trust your instincts again.

We break down:

• The historical roots of medical bias against women
• Why “normal” labs aren’t always normal for you
• How hormone shifts can mimic or mask serious issues
• When it’s time to seek a second (or fourth!) opinion
• How to find a provider who actually listens

This episode is a powerful reminder that your symptoms are valid, your voice matters, and you are not imagining it.
