Foundayo just got FDA approval. Which means a lot of women who never thought about a GLP-1 medication — because the needle was a hard no — are now thinking about one. The conversation in midlife wellness changed overnight.

In this solo episode, Dr. Z is not here to tell you whether to take a GLP-1. She's here to give you what she has not seen anyone else give you: a clinical, body-led framework for how to think about this decision before you make it. Not after.

What you'll discover in this episode:

1. Why the shift from injectable GLP-1s to an oral pill is changing who considers them, and why convenience is not a framework.
2. What these medications actually do in the body, what they cannot do, and why a quieter appetite is not the same thing as a healed system.
3. The numbers no one is putting in the marketing — including how much weight returns within a year of stopping, and what portion of what you lost was muscle.
4. Why midlife weight gain is rarely just about weight, and what a body-led conversation about it actually sounds like.
5. The five questions Dr. Z wants every woman to sit with before she makes a decision about a GLP-1 — so that whatever she decides, she decides it clearly.

Energy healing, emotional blocks, and nervous system release — what if the reason nothing is working isn't a strategy problem? What if you are not stuck — you are just blocked?

In this conversation, Dr. Z sits down with Stu Weintraub — shamanic and Reiki energy healer, TEDx speaker, founder of Waves of Love Wellness, and the creator of the Center for Child-Safe Divorce. Stu's work lives at the exact intersection of everything True Wellness explores: the body, the nervous system, emotional patterns, relationships, and the deeper question of what it actually means to live from the heart. His message is simple and profound: you are not broken. You are not stuck. You are blocked. And when those blocks are cleared — everything else the functional medicine, the supplements, the strategies — can finally work.

This is one of those episodes that meets you exactly where you are.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

• Why unresolved emotion — grief, resentment, fear, heartbreak — can block physical healing even when you are doing everything else right

• What energy healing actually is, why the body is an electrical being, and how emotional splinters get embedded in the system over years of unprocessed experience

• Why self-love cannot be the starting point — and what has to come first before it can take root

• The hidden cost of identity collapse: what happens to high achievers when the title, the role, and the relationship are suddenly gone

• Why disconnection — from source, from each other, from the earth — is the root of most modern suffering, and what Stu's Waves of Love method does to restore it

ABOUT STU WEINTRAUB

STU WEINTRAUB is a shamanic / master reiki energy healer, social impact entrepreneur and TEDx speaker. In addition to being a “Warrior Peace-Advocate for Kids Caught in the Crossfire, Stu is the Founder of Waves of Love Wellness, The Center for Child-Safe Divorce and Waves of Love, International.

Limiting beliefs, midlife reinvention, self-sabotage, and inherited fears — what if the voice telling you to stay small was never even yours to begin with?

In this episode of TRUE Wellness with Dr. Z, Dr. Z sits down with Susan Houston — TEDx speaker, podcast host of Done Pretending, and the woman who walked away from a 19-year career to finally stop living under someone else's ceiling. Susan's work focuses on one of the most invisible forms of self-sabotage women experience: the secondhand beliefs, inherited judgments, and borrowed fears absorbed from parents, partners, and authority figures — mistaken for personal truth and carried for decades.

The perfectionism that started with a B+ on a third-grade report card. The identity swallowed by years of people-pleasing and caregiving. The inner critic that says you are too old, too much, or not ready — that belief was never yours to carry.This episode is for every woman in midlife, perimenopause, or menopause who feels that quiet inner nudge saying there is more — and has not yet given herself permission to go after it.

What You'll Discover:

1. What secondhand beliefs are — and how to tell the difference between an inherited limiting belief and an actual personal truth

2. Why the most dangerous inner critic is the one that sounds exactly like your own voice — and how to trace it back to its real source

3. How women in midlife are uniquely positioned to break free from self-imposed ceilings, reclaim their identity, and stop outsourcing their self-worth

4. Susan Houston's Four Truths framework for women who are done pretending — and what each truth reveals about where you actually are in your reinvention

5. Why fear is not a stop sign — it is often the clearest signal that you are walking directly toward your real purpose
