In this episode, I sit down with Dr Carlo Reyes to explore how spiritual longevity medicine, preventative health, and hormone therapy can completely change the way we age.

We talk about why perimenopause is the most overlooked stage in women’s health, how BHRT works beyond just easing symptoms, and why addressing the root cause matters more than masking it. This isn’t just about hormones, it’s about building a foundation for energy, clarity, and joy well into the future.

We also get real about the myths that keep women from seeking treatment, how menopause often gets mislabeled as a midlife crisis, and why relationships can feel the strain during this phase of life. Dr Reyes shares practical, science-backed advice with a holistic perspective that blends medicine, mindfulness, and spirit.

If you’ve ever wondered what aging with vitality truly looks like, this conversation will open your eyes.

Let’s get real about something so many women quietly deal with but rarely talk about, even with their partners or doctors - painful sex.

In this episode, I share why changes during perimenopause and menopause can lead to discomfort, UTIs, and low desire, and what we can actually do about it.

From probiotics to hormone therapy, and my go-to choice of pellet therapy, I break down the options, share what works, and even sprinkle in some hilarious, unforgettable wisdom from my mom.

This conversation is equal parts practical, honest, and just a little outrageous.

Here are the highlights:
