  A lot of women hit their late 30s, 40s, or 50s and notice the same thing: whatever they used to do to stay healthy just stopped working. The workouts feel harder. The scale won't move. Nobody really explains why. Dr. Miranda Naylor talks with Heike Yates, a fitness coach with over 40 years in the industry and author of Pursue Your Spark, about what's actually going on in the body during this stage and how to build a routine around it instead of fighting it.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor shares a patient story that raises a question more women should be asking sooner. She talks about what AMH can tell you, why it sometimes comes back lower than expected even when everything else looks normal, and why the viral fertility claims you see online rarely tell the full story. We'll explore: ...

  Somatic Healing Through Divorce: From Surviving to Awakening 30.06.2026 47min

  Most women going through divorce are told to lawyer up, divide the assets, and move on. Nobody talks about what's happening inside your body. Divorce stirs up things nobody prepares you for. The brain fog, the old wounds, the emotional rollercoaster, and somehow you're supposed to go from decades of intimacy to a business transaction overnight. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Olivia Horoshko, the Somatic Divorce Coach, a breathwork and nervous system regulation specialist...

If you're in your 30s and feeling the pressure of that ticking clock, this episode will change the way you think about your ovarian health. Because it's not just about how many eggs you have left. It's about how fast your ovaries are aging and what you can actually do about it.

  Painful Periods Aren't Normal (And What You Can Do to Stop the Pain) with Dr. Cecilia Cruz 09.06.2026 27min

  Most women have been told that painful periods are just part of life. They're not. Bloating, spotting, pain with intercourse, exhaustion. These are signals from your body that something is wrong. Yet so many women walk out of their doctor's office with a birth control prescription and no real answers. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Cecilia Cruz, functional medicine physician, preventive medicine specialist, and associate physician at Modern Women's Wellness. Dr. Cruz...

  Bone Health: Why You Should Care Before Menopause 02.06.2026 45min

  Most women don't think about their bone health until something breaks, but by then, the foundation has often been quietly eroding for decades.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Cindy Dupuis, a functional medicine nutritionist with ...

  What New Moms Aren't Told About Postpartum Recovery 19.05.2026 46min

  The postpartum period is one of the most significant transitions in a woman's life, yet it remains one of the most underserved areas in modern healthcare. Most women are left with a single six-week visit that clears them for activity but offers little guidance on what to actually expect — physically, mentally, or emotionally — in the months that follow. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Kate Hom and Coach Savannah Miller, co-founders of Mone Wellness, to explore an integ...

  Your Body Isn't Broken, It's In Survival Mode with Dr. Kavin Mistry 13.05.2026 48min

  Many people move through life believing stress only comes from emotional overwhelm or major life events, while overlooking how modern living itself may be pushing the body into survival mode.

  Most people have never heard of superoxide dismutase, even though it plays a critical role in how the body handles stress at a cellular level.

In this episode, I sit down with François Vix, President and CEO of GliSODin, who brings over 20 years of experience in the beauty and health industry, including work with brands l...

  Can AI Predict Your Ovarian Age? With Timeless Biotech CEO Kiran Kumar 27.04.2026 57min

  Many women move through life focused on symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or weight changes without realizing there may be a deeper pattern driving them. Conversations around hormones often center on fertility or menopause timing, leaving out the bigger picture of how ovarian health influences nearly every system in the body. This gap can make it harder to connect the dots between what you feel day to day and what may actually be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, Dr. Miranda Nay...

Jennifer shares how she discovered that belly dancing, something she...

  Many people navigating chronic illness reach a point where they feel dismissed, misunderstood, or stuck between conflicting answers.
