2026/10/14
Dryness, breakouts, redness, pigmentation, and sudden changes in your skin can be surprising signs of perimenopause and menopause. These changes aren't just about aging — hormonal shifts, especially declining estrogen, can have a significant impact on skin health.

They discuss facial estrogen, peptides, Korean skincare, retinoids, sunscreen, skin treatments, and how to keep your skincare routine simple and effective.

105: Peptides with Dr. Tina Wu
2026/10/07
Peptides are everywhere right now. They’re being talked about for weight loss, recovery, sleep, longevity, skin, and more. But with so much hype — and so many different claims — how do you know what’s actually supported by evidence and what’s still being studied?
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch sits down with double board-certified emergency medicine and obesity medicine physician Dr. Tina Wu to break down the world of peptides. They discuss what peptides are, how they work, which types have stronger evidence, and where the research is still early. They also talk about GLP-1 medications, recovery, muscle, sleep, mood, skin and hair, as well as the importance of safety, quality, sourcing, and personalized medical guidance.
If you’ve been curious about peptides or wondering if they could play a role in your health during perimenopause or menopause, this episode will help you understand what we know, what we don’t know yet, and what questions to ask before trying them. Most importantly, peptides are not a replacement for hormone therapy or appropriate menopause care.
Listen now and get a clearer, more informed look at peptides — so you can separate the science from the hype and have better conversations with your healthcare provider.

104: From Body Bully to Body Ally with Anne Poirier
2026/09/30
Body changes during perimenopause and menopause can bring old struggles with weight, appearance, and self-worth back to the surface. For women who have spent years dieting, restricting food, or trying to change their bodies, learning to relate to a changing body in a different way can be challenging.
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch is joined by nationally recognized body image expert, certified intuitive eating counselor, and author Anne Poirier to talk about body image, body neutrality, and developing a more supportive relationship with food and movement. They discuss the inner critic, self-compassion, intuitive eating, joyful movement, and how to separate your worth from your weight or body size.
Anne shares practical ways to become more curious about negative self-talk, listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and find movement that feels enjoyable rather than something you have to do to control your weight. They also discuss what healthy living can look like outside of perfectionism and how our relationship with our bodies can influence the way we model health and body image for our children.
🎧 Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about body image, menopause, intuitive eating, and learning to care for your body without making its appearance the measure of your worth.

2026/09/23
If you've been dealing with hot flashes, mood changes, anxiety, poor sleep, or other symptoms of perimenopause, you may have wondered if herbs or plant-based medicine could help. With so much information (and misinformation) online, it can be difficult to know what is actually worth considering and how to use herbal supplements safely.
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch speaks with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg, a board-certified OBGYN, menopause expert, bestselling author of Menopause Boot Camp, and physician certified in integrative and holistic medicine. Suzanne shares how her years of studying Ayurveda and traditional healing practices shaped the way she thinks about women's health and plant-based medicine.
They explore how herbs may support common menopause symptoms, along with what women should know about choosing quality supplements and potential interactions with medications. Suzanne also shares her perspective on cannabis and psychedelics, and a simple way to make oregano oil at home.
🎧 Tune in to this episode for a thoughtful conversation about herbs and menopause, and learn how to approach plant-based medicine with curiosity while still making informed, safe choices for your health.

2026/09/16
You’re exhausted, you finally get into bed, and suddenly your brain is wide awake. Or maybe you fall asleep just fine, only to find yourself staring at the ceiling at 3 AM. If sleep has become harder during perimenopause or menopause, it’s not something you simply have to accept as part of getting older.
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch sits down with clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Stephanie Silberman to explore some of the most common sleep problems women experience during this stage, including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. They discuss how hormonal changes, stress, sleep habits, caffeine, alcohol, electronics, exercise, and light exposure can all affect sleep, as well as the signs that it may be time to get evaluated for a sleep disorder.
If restless nights are leaving you exhausted, frustrated, or wondering what happened to your sleep, this episode offers practical ways to understand what may be getting in the way, and how to start sleeping better.

101: Reworking your metabolism with Atou Diarra
2026/09/09
If it feels like your body suddenly changed in perimenopause or menopause — you’re gaining weight, losing muscle, feeling more tired, and the things that used to work just aren’t working anymore — it can be frustrating to feel like your body is suddenly playing by different rules. As hormones shift during midlife, your metabolism and body composition can change, too.
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch explores a new approach to weight loss and metabolic health in midlife with nurse practitioner, fat loss coach, and founder of Preventive Health and Wellness Center, Atou Diarra. Atou shares practical strategies for building sustainable nutrition and exercise habits and making movement work with a busy lifestyle.
The conversation also touches on why sustainable fat loss is about more than the number on the scale — and why midlife may require a different strategy.
🎧 Listen to the episode to learn how you can support your metabolism, preserve muscle, and build sustainable habits that help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident through perimenopause and menopause.

2026/09/02
You’re exhausted, struggling with brain fog, feeling bloated, gaining weight despite your healthy habits, or simply not feeling like yourself. You see your doctor, get your labs done, and hear that everything is “normal.” But you know something isn’t right.
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch talks with emergency medicine physician and functional health coach Dr. Stephanie Dunlop about why women can still feel unwell even when standard lab results look normal. They explore a few key underlying drivers, including thyroid health, iron status, and metabolic and hormonal balance, and what foundational steps can help women start feeling better during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Dunlop also shares her own experience of navigating the frustrating gap between symptoms and “normal” lab results.
If you’ve been told everything is “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, this episode can help you better understand your symptoms and the questions to bring to your healthcare provider.

2026/08/19
Menopause hormone therapy can be life-changing, but finding the right approach isn’t always as simple as taking estrogen and progesterone.
