This one was recorded live, in a room full of women who came with questions, and three doctors who came ready to answer them. For the first-ever Living in the Middle event, we sat down with menopause specialist Dr. Heather Hirsch, bariatric surgeon and obesity medicine physician Dr. Angela Glasnapp, and psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz for an "Ask Me Anything" built entirely on your questions! We covered the topics you asked about most: Hormones: what's really happening in perimenopause and menopause, and what to know about hormone therapy GLP-1s: who they may help, what the evidence says, and how they fit into a bigger picture of metabolic health Mental and emotional health: brain fog, mood shifts, and the emotional weight of a changing body, and why none of it means something is wrong with you Around here, we believe midlife isn't something to push through quietly. It's a stage that deserves real answers, honest conversation, and a community of women who get it. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment with more questions than answers, this episode is for you. Thank you to Dr. Heather Hirsch for hosting us, to Christine Bibbo Herr (NYC Pretty) for production, John Herr for photography and to our incredible sponsors for making this event possible: Easy Spirit, Kion, Carrot, Laura Geller, RoC Skincare, Seen, and Now Foods.  And to everyone who sent in a question and filled the room, thank you for showing up for yourselves and each other. Listen, share it with a friend who needs it, and tell us what you want us to ask next. Follow us on Instagram: @every.body.talks @jenngiamo @schully Subscribe to our YouTube channel!

From teenage 90210 star in a show that defined a generation to a young mom, three divorces, and decades of Hollywood beauty pressure, Jennie Garth has lived a lot of her life in public.  She joins us to talk about her new memoir, I Choose Me: Chasing Joy Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention. The title comes from one of Kelly Taylor's most famous lines, and it has become the way Jennie lives. Jennie is honest about her divorces: the grief, the self-doubt, and the slow work of rebuilding that taught her who she is apart from anyone else's approval. She shares the inner work that got her there and letting go of beliefs that kept her small. For Jenn, this conversation was personal. Reading I Choose Me felt like talking with a friend who just gets it. So much of Jennie's story, from life after divorce to the long habit of looking outside herself for validation, mirrored Jenn's own life in ways she didn't expect.  This is a conversation about fame, family, and heartbreak. Most of all, it's about the choice we can each make, at any age, to treat ourselves like we're worthy of our own care. It's never too late to choose you.

What if the brain fog, the overwhelm, the forgetfulness and the "why can't I just get it together?" feeling in midlife aren't a personal failing at all? This week, we sit down with Dr. Jolene Brighten, board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist, women's hormone expert, and author of a new book, ADHD and Women. Dr. Brighten explains why so many women live with ADHD for decades, often masked and quietly overwhelmed, until the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause make the symptoms impossible to ignore. Together we explore: Why estrogen and progesterone shifts can make ADHD symptoms feel louder in your 40s and 50s The signs women are most likely to miss, from anxiety and emotional overwhelm to sleep struggles, sensory sensitivity, and "I used to be able to handle this" moments Why ADHD in women has been underdiagnosed for so long, and what the research is finally showing How hormone therapy, movement, sleep, and nutrition can support a neurodivergent brain through every hormonal stage Dr. Brighten's own journey as a neurodivergent woman, and why understanding your brain is an act of self-care, not a label   And this one got personal. Somewhere in the middle of this conversation, Jenn had a realization she didn't see coming: she may have been living with ADHD her whole life. If you've ever wondered whether midlife is just "harder for you," this episode is for you.  ADHD and Women by Dr. Jolene Brighten is out October 6.

This week, we're stepping a little outside our usual lane, and we're so glad we did. Julie Ryan is a medical intuitive and psychic medium who says she can sense what's happening in the body and connect with those who've passed. We came in curious (and, honestly, a little skeptical), and walked away with a lot to think about. In this conversation, Julie does a live medical intuitive reading on Jenn, tells Lori about the spirit guides she says are walking alongside her, and answers the questions so many of us have wondered about quietly. Why do dogs sometimes stare at "nothing"? What does she believe happens as we die, and what do the dying experience in their final days? And how can understanding that process bring comfort to those of us who love them? Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in the middle, this episode is an invitation to stay open, ask big questions, and maybe feel a little less afraid of the things we rarely talk about.

Why is it so hard to get straight answers about women's health? Between viral wellness fads, clinical jargon, and gaps in women's research, finding reliable guidance often feels impossible. In this episode, we sit down with journalist, writer, and VP of Community at Livelong Media, Tiffany Nieslanik, to talk about changing that reality through the Livelong Women's Health Summit.   Drawing on her background in investigative reporting and science journalism, Tiffany shares what it really takes to translate dense, peer-reviewed clinical research into actionable insights women can actually use.  We dive into why science communication matters now more than ever, how to cut through wellness hype, and the power of building supportive communities where women are empowered to take ownership of their health and longevity.

What does it actually take to raise a family in New York City with zero cars and 100% pedal power? Ever wondered what it's really like to navigate school drop-offs, grocery runs, and daily life in New York City entirely by bike? This week, we're joined by Maddie Novich—better known to her viral community as @cargobikemomma. Maddie shares how swapping four wheels for a cargo bike transformed her family's daily routine, physical health, and connection to the city. We dig into the real environmental and mental health perks of micro-mobility, the stark realities of navigating NYC's bike network, and why safe, protected infrastructure is critical for families on the go. Stick around for the second half, where the conversation takes an unexpected turn: Maddie shares her fascinating background in criminal justice, what stopped her from joining the CIA, and life as a professor—which naturally spirals into an unfiltered chat with Jenn about her obsession with true crime.

Your wine. Your Walk. Your Wind down. What's actually happening? You send the questions. We do the digging. In this episode, we're tackling three that land in our inbox on repeat—the ones that make you wonder, is it just me? (Spoiler: it's not.) First up, "Social Life or Sleep" wants to know why a glass or two of wine that used to help her wind down now hands her a 3:00 AM wake-up call and night sweats instead. We get into what's actually shifting with alcohol and hormones in midlife—no lecture, no guilt, just what's going on and what your options are. Then "Wants to be a Walker" asks whether the influencers are right: is walking 10,000 steps really better for weight loss in menopause than running or spinning, or is it just the trend of the week? We separate the science from the noise. And finally, the question so many of us are quietly asking: am I lazy, or am I genuinely exhausted? You want to do the thing, and then you sit down and don't move for hours. We talk about how to actually tell the difference—and why the answer matters more than you'd think. Pull up a chair. Around here, no question is too small, and no one is behind. Take the FREE "Strong for Life" Assessment NOW!

In this episode we explore the simple yet profound power of pen and paper with Laura L. Rubin, the founder of AllSwell Creative and author of the transformative new book, The Big Unlock. Journaling is often touted as a "must-have" wellness tool, but it can feel intimidating or even performative for many. We sit down with Laura to demystify the practice and prove that it truly is accessible to everyone—regardless of whether you consider yourself a "writer." This conversation brings together two very different perspectives: Jenn: A lifelong journaler who relies on her notebook as a non-negotiable tool for mental hygiene and clarity. Lori: A self-proclaimed "non-journaler" who represents the skeptics and the overwhelmed who don't know where to start. We also unpack: The Science: Why slowing down to the speed of your own handwriting has a measurable cognitive and emotional impact. Converting the Skeptic: The specific data points Laura shares in corporate boardrooms to change minds about the power of journaling. 4x4x4 Method (you'll have to tune in to find out what that means)! Whether you are a seasoned pro or a curious skeptic, this episode offers a roadmap to finding your own "Big Unlock" through the philosophy of journaling.

This week we revisit our conversation with nutrition expert Ashley Koff, RD, to explore how GLP-1 medications are reshaping the conversation around weight and metabolic health. Ashley brings her signature "Better Nutrition" philosophy—grounded in practical, personalized strategies—into a space often clouded by quick fixes and misinformation. We dig into what GLP-1's actually do in the body, why they can be a powerful tool for some people, and what it really means to optimize weight health. Ashley talks about treating the body as an ecosystem integrating all aspects of our wellbeing with her holistic approach. She also shares insights on how nutrition, lifestyle choices, and functional testing can support long-term results—whether you're on a GLP-1, transitioning off, or seeking a non-pharmaceutical path to balance.

When life hits you with the unthinkable, how do you find the will to keep going? Today's guest, author and teacher Theo Boyd, lost her parents under tragic circumstances, forcing her to redefine her understanding of peace and healing.  Grief is as unique as a fingerprint, and no one understands that better than Theo Boyd. This week, we chatted with the author of Your Grief is Not Like Mine and Hope All the Way to discuss her harrowing journey through complicated loss. In this deeply moving episode, Theo shares the details of her story, how she learned to process "complicated" grief, and the miraculous signs she's received from her loved ones that prove love never truly dies. We open up about our own chapters of loss—from the finality of death to the "living grief" of divorce—reminding us all that while our paths through sorrow are different, we never have to walk them alone.
