Perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming — but what if it's actually an invitation to listen, reset, and rebuild? In this episode, Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer, reframes perimenopause as a powerful turning point and shares practical tools to help women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.

Reframing Perimenopause

• Why perimenopause isn't a breakdown — it's a breakthrough

• How this season exposes what your body has been quietly asking for

• Why so many capable, driven women feel betrayed by their bodies during this transition

Hormones, Anxiety & Night Sweats

• Why progesterone is often the first hormone to drop

• How estrogen fluctuations contribute to anxiety and sleep disruption

• The connection between cortisol, blood sugar, and waking up at night

Health Debt Explained

• What "health debt" really means and why it catches up in midlife

• How years of overtraining, under-fueling, and ignoring symptoms compound over time

• Why doing more often backfires during perimenopause

Energy Supply vs. Energy Demand

• Why the body's top priority during this phase is survival

• How to lower energy demand instead of pushing harder

• The three pillars of energy supply: sleep, nourishment, and joy

Nutrition, Liver & Gut Health

• Why hormones are often the "canary in the coal mine"

• How liver detoxification and gut health impact estrogen balance

• Why many high-achieving women have depleted, not dysfunctional, guts

Actionable Tools for Relief

• Seed cycling explained and how it supports hormone balance

• Simple nighttime strategies to calm cortisol and get back to sleep

• Why minerals are foundational — especially during hormonal transitions

Peptides: What's Real vs. Hype

• Why peptides are not a replacement for foundational health

• How peptide therapy fits into functional medicine (when done correctly)

• The importance of working with a qualified practitioner

Strength, Longevity & Training

• Why lifting weights becomes non-negotiable as women age

• How muscle protects hormones and long-term vitality

• Redefining success as quality of life, strength, and freedom

"Perimenopause isn't the problem — it's the moment your body asks you to finally listen."

"So many women are incredible at pushing through, but this season doesn't reward that — it requires a new relationship with your body."

"Health debt is what happens when energy supply and demand no longer meet — and like financial debt, it compounds."

"If your body isn't responding the way it used to, it's not failing — it's trying to survive."

"Skipping meals is one of the fastest ways to drive cortisol and worsen hormone imbalance."

"Your body at midlife is the result of the last 40 to 50 years — which is why the path forward has to be personalized."

• One non-negotiable for hormone health: Walking

• Most underrated lab marker: T3 (thyroid hormone)

• Biggest menopause myth: That feeling awful is just part of aging

• Habit to stop: Skipping meals

• Habit to start: Hydrating daily with minerals

In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with filmmaker and investigative producer Dan Farah to explore some of the most provocative questions of our time: have governments hidden evidence of non-human intelligence for decades, and what does a global disclosure look like? Dan has interviewed senators, intelligence chiefs, fighter pilots, Pentagon insiders, and other high level sources — and the patterns they describe are consistent: we are not alone, and the truth about that has been withheld for more than 80 years.

Dan's documentary The Age of Disclosure is currently the #1 documentary on Amazon Prime Video and claims to uncover an unprecedented, long-hidden narrative involving bipartisan testimony from 34 government, military, and intelligence figures. The film goes beyond speculation, exploring allegations of classified programs, advanced non-human technology, and a secret cold war among world powers to reverse-engineer exotic capabilities.

In this conversation, Dan and Linda tackle the questions people are afraid to ask: what happens when a project like this stops feeling like a documentary and starts feeling dangerous, why sources are speaking out now, and whether the public is being protected or manipulated by secrecy. They examine the nature of power and control, what it would mean for society if disclosure happened tomorrow, and whether this is a slow preparation or an imminent revelation.

This episode is a deep dive into history, secrecy, psychology, and the narratives that shape what we accept as "known." If you're curious about the intersection of policy, technology, and what may lie beyond conventional explanation, this conversation will stretch your thinking and invite you to consider perspectives far beyond the everyday.

What We Talk About in This Episode:

How the project transitioned from a documentary into something potentially "dangerous"
Whether Dan was ever warned or discouraged from making the film
Why insiders from across the political spectrum are now willing to speak publicly
How the topic relates to aliens, intelligence, and global power structures
What discovery of non-human intelligence might mean for society
Whether governments are protecting or manipulating public awareness
The claims in the film that may be hardest for the public to accept
If gradual disclosure is a strategy or if a tipping point is near

On this week's Let It Rip Friday, we're discussing the Law of Abundance

In this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Dr. Deb Butler, a certified master weight loss and life coach, former board-certified chiropractor, nutritionist, and acupuncturist, and the host of the podcast Thinner Peace in Menopause and Beyond. Dr. Deb joins the show to share her personal journey through decades of dieting, body conflict, and the deeper emotional experience of weight loss, especially in menopause. After originally trying every conventional diet approach she knew, she eventually realized that persistent hunger, emotional eating, and the relentless struggle with food were not about willpower—but about signals the body and brain were sending that she hadn't learned to interpret.

Dr. Deb and Linda explore how hormonal changes in menopause often make traditional diet and exercise plans feel impossible to sustain, and why the reframe from "dieting" to coaching and self-trust can be life-changing. They talk about the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger, how food can become a comfort or avoidance mechanism, and the value of mindful eating that honors both body and experience. Dr. Deb describes her THINNER Peace Process, a step-by-step framework she uses with clients to help them move out of cycles of struggle and into more compassionate, long-term change.

The conversation also touches on strategies for managing urges, retraining taste preferences, experimenting with food elimination to discover what works for one's unique body, and how self-trust is rebuilt through small wins. Dr. Deb and Linda acknowledge that midlife can prompt a reevaluation of purpose and identity, and that sustainable wellbeing often comes from understanding the psychological and emotional aspects of eating—not just the physical.

Whether you're in menopause, diet-weary, or simply wanting to understand your relationship with food more deeply, this episode offers grounded, psychological tools and a new lens for thinking about food and body acceptance.

This conversation is about making peace with food and your body, learning to trust hunger cues instead of restricting, and finding ways to live well that actually feel sustainable and empowering.

What we talk about in this episode
Why traditional dieting often fails in menopause
How menopause changes hunger cues and body response
Emotional eating versus physical hunger
The THINNER Peace Process for lasting change
Mindset shifts that support peace with food
Building trust in yourself instead of relying on restriction
Strategies for managing urges and retraining taste
