Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
moment of Zen right here on seven to ten WR
the voice of New york iHeartRadio. We're tackling everything from
film and fashion to health and wellness, all with the
millennial mom's perspective. I'm your host, Zenzam's up next in
the Menopause panel, brought to you by the Polish Beauty
segment on the Expert on the Microphone series, We're gonna
(03:50):
be breaking the silence on menopause and perimenopause, a topic
that affects half the population but still carries outdated stigmas.
This segment is not just about statistics, It's about understanding,
empowerment and solutions, from skin care concerns and sexual wellness
to debunking myths. We're assembled powerhouse of panel experts to
(04:10):
guide you through this conversation. First up, we have Lanaker,
the trailblazing CEO of co two Lift and Limis's Skincare,
whose revolutionary carboxy therapy treatments are transforming our skin even
in the most intimate areas. Joining us is doctor Daisy Aim.
She's a triple Board certified cosmetic surgeon and obgyn whose
practice in Houston blends beauty, health, and wellness. She also
(04:33):
hosts and is the founder of the Polished Beauty podcast.
And finally, welcoming our returning guest, Doctor Doris Day, a
world renowned dermatologist, media personality, and author whose expertise on
skin health and the mind skin Connection has earned her
accolades across the globe. Let's dive in and get real
about menopause, starting with the changes that we can see
(04:55):
and feel. Welcome to the show Superstars. Ay I Hi, everyone,
so excited to have this panel, the Mind Skin Connection.
Doctor Doris Day, I'm going to start with you. So,
as we know, stress is a major player in the
menopausal journey, and it doesn't just affect our mood, it
impacts our skin as well, and research has shown that
(05:15):
stress hormones like cortisol worse than dryness, wrinkles, and even acne. So,
Doctor Day, your work on the mind skin connection is groundbreaking.
Can you explain how mental health ties into skin health
during menopause and what strategies women can adopt to care
for both.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
This is such a great question and it's so important
because as a dermatologist, it's amazing how often our sessions
seem like the patients like therapy sessions as much as
injection and treatment sessions. But it is really all connected.
And we now know that you have estrogen receptors in
your brain and in your gut, and in your joints
and in your skin and pretty much all over your body.
(05:53):
So the mind's skin connection and the mind estrogen connection
is very real. And when I address skinish shoes, I'm
also addressing the anxiety and all of these stressors that
can affect the skin and the hair. When you have
the anxiety around menopause, you can have stress shedding of
hair on top of female pattern hair loss, which can
(06:14):
accelerate it. So I need to pay attention to what
my patients are feeling, what they're going through in their lives,
what their relationships are like if I'm going to make
a difference in their skin, especially around perimenopause, not just menopause.
And I think the big mistake we make is that
we wait until menopause to address those issues, when instead
we have to look at this sort of grayish area
(06:35):
around perimenopause. And the reason it's grayish is because it's
very long, it's slow in how it develops, and it's
different for different women. It happens at all different ages.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, bridging mental health and skincare is such an empowering concept.
I mean, your advice to our listeners is invaluable. When
does perimenopause typically start?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Perimenopause starts as soon as you start having an irregular period.
So if you're a pair, it has always been a
twenty eight day or thirty day cycle, whatever your cycle is.
Once you start having it a little bit before or
a little bit later, you've entered perimenopause.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Phys are signs and they can start in your thirties too, now,
which brings me to my next question for Lana. During perimenopause,
estrogen levels plummet, which reduces collagen production, and by age
fifty we lose about thirty percent of our skins collagen,
leading to dryness, wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity. But
your company co two Lyft has revolutionized skincare with carboxy therapy,
(07:30):
a treatment that boosts oxygenation and regeneration. So Lana, please
tell me how these treatments address the unique skin challenges
faced by menopausal women.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Well, some of the things as we as doctor Day mentioned,
you know, drier skin, thinner skin. And one of the
things that CO two left carboxygel does very well is
increase hydration. It's like a toll glass of water for
their skin. And I always talk about, you know, the
raisin grape analogy. You know, we're born this beautiful, plump
grape and then we turn into this raisin all over.
(08:04):
And fortunately we have you know, our two professionals here
who helped us slow that process down. CO two lift
is what tools that they use or other positions can
use or individuals use to reverse that as well as elasticity.
In fact, just one more point, we just completed a
clinical with the Baioclinic and they show that CO two
lift produces type one and type three collagen, which is
(08:26):
some things that's going to help women going into menopause,
which is what is decreasing. So those are some of
the things that we can do on the face and
then of course the skin on between our legs. You know,
that's another conversation again. We're addressing you know, dryness down there,
we're addressing sensitivity down there. So those are things that's
going to help women to navigate this period of life
(08:47):
and still maintain the quality of life that they're used to.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So important, and thank you for your answer that resonates
with so many women experiencing these changes and looking for effective,
non invasive solutions. Now I'm going to pivot to sexual
wellness post metopause, doctor Daisy, So, metopause doesn't just affect
our skin, it can also change our sexual health. Vaginal dryness, discomfort,
and lots of libido are common complaints, but they're often
(09:12):
ignored in mainstream conversations, and studies show that up to
fifty percent of post metopausal women experience sexual dysfunction. Yet
very fusik help. As someone who bridges cosmetic surgery and
OBGYN expertise, how do you help women regain confidence and
comfort in their intimate lives and what treatments or approaches
do you recommend. Yeah, the first thing was, you.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Know, whenever women present with their concern in the office
is basically just listen to her right, hear her story out,
what has been happening in her life, where she's in
her journey, and that really allows me to tailor treatment
for her because you know, as we age, as Lana
has mentioned, Doctor Day mentioned as to doing deplete, and
the vaginal tissue health changes, it becomes thinner, is more
(09:56):
sensitive and as far as discomfort, but the nerve end
is a not as sensitive as well, So your pleasure
is much decreased as you're older. So when I listen,
I gather this information. Then I start with a treatment
option customized to her need. The number one priority is
estrogen resplacement because there's nothing else that will replace estrogen
and treatment of the sexual health of a woman. So
(10:18):
there's local estrogen that I prescribe that they can use
to improve it. But we do have od jns like
COR two lift, We have medications that are non hormonal
that can be helpful. We have devices that you can
actually use to boost you know, lubrication helps with the
tissue and sensitivity and then you know stem cells, you know,
it's also helpful in that error. I package a treatment
(10:41):
that's very comprehensive to her need based on what her
concern is genital urinized symptoms of menopause is something that
is known and it is common, and a lot of
women don't associate that would be in menopause. They just think, oh,
I'm running to the bathroom a lot lately, and not
think it is because of their age or of the menopause.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
That's as social with it such a critical topic, and
thank you for those insights because they're definitely helping destigmatize
these conversations for many listeners. Now we're going to talk
about anti aging innovations with doctor Doris. So many women
in menopause are often bombarded with anti aging products, but
not all are effective or even safe. So, as a
(11:19):
dermatologist and innovator, what breakthroughs in skincare should women look
for and are there any specific ingredients you recommend from
menopausal skin.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
So I think it's addressed on several levels. One is
internally with like really paying attention to your diet. I
absolutely think hormone replacement therapy is undervalued and I think
it's I think of it even as malpractice that we're
not telling more women about the value and safety and
efficacy of hormone replacement in protecting collagen and protecting your brain,
(11:48):
your heart, your joints, your bones, all of those things
that hormone replacement does. I tell women that you're not
taking extra estrogen. You're replacing what your body still needs
but can no longer make, and supplementing what your body needs.
And I and estrogen is not a carcinogen. People think
about cancer as their main risk, when in reality that
discussion needs to happen. I'm not saying it's right for
(12:09):
every woman, but I'm saying that we're not having the
conversation openly and comfortably enough than women think they just
have to power through this phase. But in the office,
we talk about the importance of diet. Getting enough protein.
Resistance training is really important. You build collagen in your
skin from doing weightlifting, not just in your muscles, and
that's important. I think collagen supplements can be helpful. I
(12:31):
prefer usually switching off of a prescription retinolic acid to
an over the counter retinal because I think that they're
gentler and they're even more affective, and they also are
combined with other antioxidants that make them work better and
are better tolerated. Then there's lots of peptides stem cells
exosomes that we use in off the streetments. Softwave is
one of my favorites because it has no downtime. The
(12:54):
data behind it is great and my patients are thrilled
with the results and it's very tolerable, so that tie
and lifts without injecting anything. Fillers and neuromodulators are amazing.
We really understand the commonalities of how we age, the
changes in bone and fat pads and how to balance out.
So the rate limiting factor and how you age are
(13:14):
going to be your eyes. If the bones around your
eyes shrike, that means a hole gets bigger and your
eyes can either sink in or get more hooded. If
you try to overfill the face, try to have the
same structure you did when you were twenty, your eyes
are going to look smaller and more recessed. So you
can't replace everything, but you can create balance and improve
skin quality. And there's so much we can do with
(13:37):
all the devices we have that can be safe and effective.
But this is a journey. It's small things done over
time that will make a very big difference.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Wow, look at you. I mean you said it all
in like under two minutes. I know our listeners definitely
appreciate your practical expert advice, especially on navigating the overwhelming
skincare market, because you just nipped it all in the
butt and gave me that one oh one idiot's guide
to swin care. So let's talk about busting menopause myths, Lana.
Let's tackle some of the myths head on. One of
(14:08):
the most persistent is that menopause is the end of
vitality and beauty, which couldn't be further from the truth.
As someone at the forefront of empowering women through science
based skincare, how do you challenge these myths and help
women redefine aging. I mean, you are gorgeous, you are beautiful,
you are successful.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Talk to me, Oh, thank you so much for Yeah,
and I'm in I'm menopausal or I've finished my last period.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
My list was two years ago.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
But you know, I think that every part, every every
stage of our lives, they're beautiful things and they're challenging things.
I mean, you think about you know, toddlers, they are
challenged with they can't.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Walk, but they're just you love, we love toddlers.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
And then you go through the adolescent phase, they're challenges well, menopause.
Perimenopause is just another phase of life, but it's such
a beautiful phase. I really we like to think of
this as the best time of my life. Truly, if
I was to have a wish to go back in time,
would I maybe to change some things, But certainly I
love this part of my life. It's really that caterpillar
(15:12):
Tom butterfly stage. It's we have the wisdom, we have
the experience now, fortunately we have the technology that can
help us to feel as if we are in our
twenties or thirties, but we have the experience, we have
the wisdom to navigate life in a totally different way
with confidence. So I like to think of this time
of life as an exciting time of life that we
(15:34):
can be even more powerful and more successful. And then again,
so it's about educating ourselves as to what it is
we need you And I like something that doctor Day said,
it's not starting now at this age. Fortunately I had
women in my life that helps me from in my
thirties to understand the importance of bioidenticals, to understand the
importance of doing the steps needed so that when I'm here,
(15:55):
I'm not going to feel the symptoms that many women
feel if they have neglected to do things to prepare
for this part.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Of our lives.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, that wraps up the first portion of our menopause panel.
Do stick around towards the end of the show. We're
going to be wrapping up with more insights from our
experts on the microphone. In the Polished Beauty segment.

Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven to ten WR
the voice of New york iHeartRadio. This is the Hydration
with Heart segment brought to you by One's Pot of Coconut.
I'm your home, Zen Sam's Today we have the perfect
(17:02):
blend of hydration and inspiration, and Tonight's topic is one
that's both profound and universal. Death. But don't turn that
dial just yet. Our guest tonight is here to show
us that understanding death can actually teach us how to
live more fully. Joining me is Julie McFadden, better known
to her millions of followers as hospice Nurse Julie. She's
(17:24):
a hospice and palliative care nurse with over fifteen years
of experience, a social media star, and the author of
her book Nothing to Fear, Demystifying Death to Live more Fully.

address our fears, and give us the tools to navigate
end of life care with grace and acceptance. Get ready
(17:45):
for a conversation that will definitely challenge your perceptions and
leave you feeling empowered. Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Hello, Thank you what an intro.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
So excited to have you on your story. My dear
is so inspired. I mean, you've spent years working at
the intersection of life and death, witnessing the beauty and
pain of those final moments, and it truly does take
a special kind of courage and compassion to do what
you do. But let's go back to the beginning. What
drew you to this line of work and was there
(18:18):
a defining moment that inspired you to not only become
a hospice nurse, but to write nothing to Fear?
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Yes. So you know, I've been a nurse for over
fifteen years and the first part of my career within
the ICU, and which is like worry you're keeping people
alive at all cost and my second year into that,
just two years into it, I still stayed for another
six which is another story. But those two years I
started seeing how keeping someone alive at all costs was
(18:47):
causing more suffering and we weren't talking about it. No
one was saying any thing about it, and I eventually
started to. So I had a patient that really changed
the view of what we were doing there, like death
was not the worst possible outcome for this patient, And
it was the first time I spoke up and it
(19:08):
really made a difference. The family did end up turning
off machines for this patient. The patient did die and
it was a sad, scary moment for me because I
felt like I was the one who, you know, caused
in quotations that, But it also helped me see how I.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Could be an advocate.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
And there is a way, and we're all going to die,
right and if that is the case, we need to
start talking about it so people can die how they choose,
you know, maybe not being a hospital hooked to machines
trying to keep them alive if the outcome is going
to be death no matter what in their case. So
that drew me to hospice nursing eight years later. It
(19:50):
took me eight years, but I eventually did it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I love that you're turning your experiences into a resource
for others, and your passion really shines through in your work.
Remarkable stuff. Now, death anxiety. Just hearing those words gives
many of us pause. So studies show that fear of
death is one of the most common anxieties worldwide, and
yet it's something we all must face. And in your experience, Julie,
(20:16):
why do people have such a hard time discussing death
and dying and how can we really begin to overcome
this discomfort.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
Yes, so I you know, my book is called Nothing
to Fear. However, I wanted it to be called initially
Normal to Fear, So it's not to me. It's not
about like, don't fear death, you know, it's about you're
going to It's the great unknown. It's scary, it's sad.
(20:44):
You know, there's so many uncomfortable feelings around it. But
what I've learned from being around hundreds, if not thousands,
of dying people, is that the ones that were willing,
the ones that were dying in the family around them,
they the ones that were willing to talk about it,
to say the truth about it, even if it was
(21:04):
I don't want to, I'm angry, then I'm dying. I'm
angry this is happening. They seemed to be able to
live better because they weren't dead yet, right, They seem
to live better and die more peacefully. So why do
we fear it? I think it's the great unknown? And
just because we fear it doesn't mean we don't need
(21:26):
to talk about it and plan for it. And if
we do, it doesn't mean it's going to happen faster.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
In fact, it usually seems to alleviate the fear, even
just for a bit, just for a bit, so important.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
To start normalizing death, and that makes so much sense,
and breaking those barriers is really going to be what
changes the way we approach life itself. Right, yes, yes, yes, Now,
your social media presence is nothing short of incredible. Over
three million followers. Congratulations, you're officially an influencer.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You've found a whole new way to connect with people
on such an intimate and challenging topic. And social media
is often seen as a place for escapism, yet you've
made it a platform for education and healing. What motivated
you to start sharing your insights online? And do you
think platforms like Instagram make these conversations more accessible for people?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
I mean I am just as surprised as anyone else.
I am forty two years old. Just so you know,
I started doing this three years ago kind of on
a whim, and it just took off on TikTok first,
which is hilarious because I think I was thirty nine
at the time and to be taking off on TikTok
with like what is happening? I got on initially just
to watch my nieces, like do dances, you know, and
(22:41):
I think there's something to be said about that. You know,
in my day to day real life, my friends and
family didn't necessarily want to hear about my job as
a hospice nurse, right, But there seems to be something
about the internet. And maybe there's like because it's not
because I'm not face to face with them in real life,
maybe it's easier to take in the information. But you know,
(23:03):
that first video I did.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
Kind of on a whim. There was no plan that
didn't have like multiple videos recorded.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
They were in bad lighting and it was just sort
of me turning on my camera and talking about the
things I know. I think it took like three or
four videos and my and my page just started going
viral and it just kept happening on all different platforms.
So it's something people want to talk about and learn about,
whether they admit that or not.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So, you know, I just girl, you're getting a lot
of help from the other side. I have to I
have to, oh my gosh home. So now, one of
the most profound ideas in your book is that death
isn't the worst possible outcome, like you've repeated on this interview,
that's a radical shift from how many of us think,
(23:50):
if not death, then what is the worst possible outcome?
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Suffering?
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Suffering, And when we try to preserve life at all costs,
you will suffer. End of story, period. I've seen it
with my own eyes over and over and over again
as an ic you nurse. We caused and again we're
doing wonderful things and our health in healthcare, right, and
that's why people are living longer. And death does seem
(24:15):
like it doesn't happen, right, and so there's a part
of it that's amazing. And then we just take it
too far. We just take it too far sometimes and
it causes a lot of suffering.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Wow, that's powerful. It really makes you think about the
choices we make in our lives and how we define
quote unquote living well. Yes, now you've talked about deathbed
phenomena and these experiences that can seem almost mystical or spiritual.
For some this might sound a little eerie, but it's
actually quite common. Can you share a few examples of
(24:48):
this and explain what they mean in the context of
the dying process.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
Yes, So, coming from an ic you nurse to hospice nurse,
when I started seeing these deathbed phenomena.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
What you do?
Speaker 9 (24:58):
It's undeniable. As a hospice nurse, I was like, what
the heck is going on here? And really we don't
have answers. There aren't real scientific answers for the deathbed phenomena.
But the two I see the most is the rally
or the surge. The real name is called terminal lucidity,
which is when someone looks like they are going to
die maybe any minute. They have been unconscious for four days,
(25:22):
and then suddenly boom, they wake up. They have a
great day, maybe they get out of bed, they say
they're hungry, they eat a burger, their personality comes back.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
And you're like, wow, this is a miracle.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
They're back, they're here, they're going to live, and then
they die shortly after.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
So it's like a gift because you get this.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Last hurrah, But if you don't know what it is,
you're not expecting it, it can be very devastating because
then they die shortly after. So that's one that we
see the most. The second one is visioning people seeing
dead relatives, dead loved ones, dead.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Old pets, neighbors, and.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
They'll have full conversations with them. Patients have told me
countless time. My parents came to me last night. They
said they're coming to get me soon. Not yet, but
it's all going to be okay, and they'll let me
know when it's time. And this has happened like countless times,
countless times, and they are alert. And the people who
are telling me this are alert and oriented. They're not
(26:18):
like taking their last breath. They're like walking around and
just as lucid as you and I wow, I know
it is wow. And there's no real explanation. We don't
really know. There's theories and things, but we don't really
know scientifically why it's happening. We just know it does.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It's a reminder that even at the end of life,
there can be moments of wonder and connection, and that
is the transition they're transitioning. When my dad passed away
in twenty sixteen from aggressive lung cancer, the day prior
to him passing away was exactly what you described, and
hospice for him was at my sister's house and he
(26:58):
had this great burst of energy and then the next
day that it was just like he had enough energy
to muster up what he could to talk to everybody,
and you know, make that last moment count and yeah,
so yeah, you're spot on. Now you say that information
is power when it comes to the dying process, and
(27:19):
I couldn't agree more. Knowledge can ease so much fear.
What are some of the key pieces of information that
families and patients should know about this process.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
Oh, the first one is the body knows how to die.
We are biologically built to be born and grow and
live and biologically built to die, and the body knows
how to do it. Literally, it has built in mechanisms
to help us do it. So if you're dying a
natural death, meaning you're dying from something, but you're naturally
allowing the process to take over. Our bodies have built
(27:48):
in mechanisms to help us do that. Switches off the
hunger and thirst mechanism, switches up the sleep mechanism. So
that's why people dying sleep a lot and don't eat
and drink. Sleep a lot and don't eat and drink.
So the less we mess with that process, the better
it usually goes, and the more peaceful it usually goes.
So that's the most fascinating thing to me that I
(28:11):
didn't even know as an icy U nurse, but you
see it so often as a hospice nurse.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
It's like, people need to know this.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
People need to know that our bodies are built to
help us die and it's there for us.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
It's there for us at.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
The end, such practical advice, Julie, And you're giving people
a sense of control during a time that often feels
overwhelming and things are just spiraling out of control. So
kudos to you. Now. One of the most memorable takeaways
from your book is the importance of preparation, like sharing
passwords before someone passes. It's such a simple yet profound idea.
(28:49):
So if you had to pick the top three things
everyone should do before they die, what would they be? Oh?
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Wow, okay, top three things. Fill out an advanced directive
dating various specific circumstances of what you would want versus
what you wouldn't want, meaning like if I have a
brain aneurism and I'm not conscious, Like do you want
a feeding tube or don't you want a feeding tube?
So specific things like that that you fill out an
(29:16):
advanced directive. Always have a beneficiary to your banks and
the money you have, or your state, like somehow get
in a state planner, a lawyer or something like that.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
To help you tie up loose ends before you die.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Even if you think you don't have things to give
to people, believe me, you do, and it's going to
leave a lot of work for them if you don't
get it. If you don't get it tied up nice
and pretty before you die, share your passwords to all
of your banks and your phones and your emails to
at least one trusted person. And then I think the
fourth sorry is get your funeral or mortuary plans in order.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Well said, Well, thank you for joining us and for

mess or things not churning out quite the way you envisioned.
But Vgjfloores is a game changer. From the very first
consultation to the final polish, Amberson and his team were professional, timely,
(31:59):
and incredibly or organized. They completely transformed the flooring in
my house and the result stunning. What stood out most
to me was their attention to detail. They didn't just
install floors, they made sure every corner, every seam, and
every finish was perfect. The team worked efficiently maintaining a
clean and organized work environment throughout the process, and believe me,
(32:19):
as a mom, the attention to cleanliness goes a long
way in earning my trust. But what truly says VGJ
Floors apart is their creativity. They don't just offer flooring solutions,
they offer artistry. Amberson brings a passion and expertise all
the way from Brazil that is rare in this industry,

with the lowest price. Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Hey, how worry? How's everything?
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Everything's great, So excited to have you on. So you've
been providing flooring services for twenty years. But before we
dive into the details of your services, let's first go
back to the beginning. I'd love to know what inspired
you to work with floors in wood. Where did this
passion come.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
From I grew up on the farm.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
You know, we will use to work with wood, so
you know, we finished up with it over there. Then
I decided to come here and start doing floor as
you know, we finish Flora, install nel Floria. You know,
I start falling in love and love and love, you know,
and start my own business.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
All the way from Brazil right here. That passion undoubtedly
comes through in your business. So let's shift to that.
The flooring in your home or workplace endures some of
the heaviest use every day, whether it's from muddy shoes,
kitchen spills, or pets. So I always tell people you
better hope your flooring can withstand the inevitable wear and
tear over time. This is where you can help. Let's
(35:16):
touch on the time it takes to complete flooring. So
you service anything from one room to a whole home
to entire workspace. What's the installation process like and how
long does it typically take to complete flooring for these spaces,
keeping in mind that homeowners and workers are anxious to
get back in there.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Correct, that's correct.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
It depends to on the size of the area that
we're doing. For example, most of the time we're doing
empty house, you know, that's to have no furnch or not,
so you go in quickly. If it's a homeowner live
in a house, we have to move furniture back and forth.
So for installation depends on the area and all can
be done in one day, two days the mass three
days depends on the square photos the same thing with
the refinished.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
Refinished can be done.
Speaker 11 (35:55):
If it's a natural say of talking about around five
hundred square feet, it can be done maybe in one day,
depends on.
Speaker 10 (36:00):
The weather, or it can be done on the second
day early in the morning.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Well we're looking at no matter a three to four
day job at the most, and the earliest one day
job very effective. Now, I know. A large value of
yours is offering quality flooring without the hefty price tag,
which really sets you apart in the market, making VGJ
floors cost efficient and an ideal choice for the average customer.
(36:25):
How do you ensure high quality work but stay within
such tight budgets, Well, you have to.
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Have a good vendors as well, you know, and you
know you got to compete with the others, you know,
So if you've got to work with quality, you know,
You've got to deliver quality to.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
The clients no matter what. You know, If we delivered
to the clients a good quality, if they think they
can afford our service, you know, we give it to you.
If not, you want to go for a cheap product,
unfortunately we're not for you.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Lastly, what trending requests, because I'm sure you get a
lot of requests. What are you seeing from homeowners today?
Are there any cool new materials or styles people should
know about.
Speaker 11 (37:02):
Yeah, there's a lot of new style. If you're talking
about pre finished floor, there's so many callers. If you're
talking about the LVT, the Luxurvino, there's so many options
as well. There's so many callers, you know, if you're
going for that area. And I always like to sinking
with Tyre. You know, we have so many options.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah, I know, it's not easy to find the good
floor people, contractors, and you seem to be at the
heart of it all and at the beat of it all.
So thank you so much for coming on.

Thank you appreciate it.

Tune into a Moment of Zen Saturday nights from nine
to ten pm on seven to ten WOR The Voice
of New York.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Welcome back to the Menopause Panel, brought to you by
the Polished Beauty segment. Expert on the Microphone Series today
include CEO of CO two Lift Lanakker, Doctor Dais Aim,
Tripleboard certified obgyn and cosmetic surgeon, and doctor Doris Day,
world renowned dermatologist and media personality. We're going to talk
about hormonal therapies and alternatives now. So HRTs is a
(38:58):
perfect topic. Is often a go to solution for menopausal symptoms,
but it's not for everyone. Meanwhile, non hormonal alternatives are
gaining traction. So doctor Daisy, can you break down the
benefits and risks of HRT versus non hormonal treatments and
how women can decide what's best for them. Okay, well
that's a lot of question. Do we have ten minutes? Yeah,
(39:21):
you have two.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
So the benefits of HRT are endless. We've heard so
much about it, and let me just backtrack. There are a
lot of pieces of mind that do not want HRT,
so it's not for everyone. The women that choose not
to end that's okay, so long as you were informed,
educated and empowered to make that choice is yours. But
the benefits of HRT are endless. You're looking at hot
flashes night's wet. That's a common thing, but you also
(39:44):
have vaginal help. As I mentioned earlier, it's a great
benefits to be on HRT because your teacher is gonna shrink,
it's gonna shrivel, it's gonna we stlo away, and it's
good to restore it with estrogen. And then there's mood stabilization,
just feeling better cognitive and slip quality. That's one of
the things that happened as you age. Your slip quality
just goes down, so HRT is beneficial on that. So
(40:07):
of the long term benefits are very bone health. You know,
we talked about strength exercising that is great, but HRT
on itself improves that and help decreases ostoporosis and risk fracture.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Quoting fast would benefits.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
Especially if you start HRT ten years before your actual menopause,
that is the most beneficial for you. If you do
started a little bit longer after menopause, it may not
be as beneficial for you. Then you have as I mentioned,
cognitive and doctor they did a great job talking about
skin health and hair health. So you have those long
term benifitts. The risk of HRT. Unfortunately, with a WHI study.
(40:44):
There's all this misinformation out there about breast cancer and
country indication, and the answer the shorting answers know. But
of course the longer answer is each patient has to
be individualized to see what the risks are. Another risk
is in a mutual cancer. If you're on HRT with
estrogen alone and the progester and needs to have your uters,
you are at risk bhendom mutual cancer, so you need
(41:06):
to be on HRT that has progesterine to counter that risk.
Then you have heart disease, as I mentioned, if you're not,
if you're starting a little bit later, like you're sixty.
I have pictients that come in my office sixty years plus.
They're perton much by HRT going on and like, I've
never been on it. Can I get started?
Speaker 3 (41:23):
The short answer is.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Well, let's a substuence, see what the benefits are, because
it's all about the risk and benefit. Now, for the
non hormnotherapy, they tend to just treat a symptom, so
you don't have this comprehensive beneficial effect of it. So
there are medications that will just take care of your
heart flashes and that's it, or medication I will take
care of your sexual health and that's it.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
And then you have devices that's very.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Localized, so you don't have a systemic benefits when you
are non hormonotherapy. I have a lot of patients, as
I mentioned, that do not want to be on HRT,
and that's okay. So I don't want any woman listening
to this feel like they're uble data or.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Have to be on some then you do not. But
so long as you're educated in form, then you can
make a choice such a nuanced topic. Thank you for
your guidance. It's definitely going to empower women to make
informed decisions. Now, let's chat lifestyle tips for menopausal skin health.
So skincare isn't just about what you put on your skin,
it's about what you put into your body. Doctor DA,
(42:20):
can you share some lifestyle tips, diet, hydration, or habits
that women can adopt and maintain healthy skin during menopause.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Yeah, this is a really important time to paytent to
what you put in your body. I always start with
vitamin D because vitamin D is essential and we don't
need to rely on the sun for vitamin D. I
usually recommend vitamin D with vitamin K two because that
helps with vitamin D absorption and your gut biong changes
so you don't make K in your gut as well.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
As you used to.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
And then magnesium magnesium L three and eight magnesium glycinate
both help with sleep and muscle building, so that's really important.
And there are some other supplement that you can take
as well. DHA can be helpful. Creatine is really important
for a muscle building and that can also help the skin.
So there's a lot you can do in terms of
(43:08):
supplements to add to your diet. But making making sure
you get enough protein is really really critical, and I
think it's more important as you get older, whereas we
used to undervalue it, exercise becomes critical. Zone two cardio
is the easiest cardio to do. It's just walking twenty minutes.
You're not strussing your body. You can have a conversation
(43:29):
when you're in zone two cardio. I walk to and
from work every day. That's my zone two. It's two
and a half miles each way, so I get my
zone two in. But then doing resistance training also jumping
things that are going to stimulate bones on your circulation
are really really helpful. One of the things even though
this is an internal is when you hit perry and
post menopause, you're really not building collagen. So when you're
(43:51):
doing all these activities outdoor, being extra vigilant about your
sun protection to protect your collagen is important. And then
speaking of collagen, I I think collagen supplements are helpful.
They're a little bit controversial where some doctors don't think
that there's as much evidence based medicine, and that's true,
we always want more evidence based medicine, but these are supplements.
You're never going to have pure science behind it. But
(44:14):
the hypothetical data, everything that I've seen that shows how
when you take collagen, this is a protein, even though
it gets metabolized, it does become building blocks per collagen
and can help joints and skin and hair on the
other side. And then the carboxy mask as a Lana has,
My patients in pery and postmenopause love this masks. I
have brides do it the day before their wedding. I
(44:36):
have the mother of the brides and pery and postmenopause
do it with them, and they email me from wherever
they are telling me how their skin was radiant and
glowing and even with the vaginal carboxy. They will tell
me that they have less urinary incontinence and they have
better sexual pleasure. So these are things you can do
at home. They're not costly. You can buy it on
(44:57):
Amazon or get it from your doctor, and they make
a huge difference in how you feel and how you
look and how you age.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Wow again, great answer, great guide, Thank you so much,
simple actionable tips like these that definitely make such a
big difference in how women feel in their own skin.
Thank you for that, Doctor Day, Lana. I'm going to
segue into doctor Day handed it off intimate skincare solutions.
So here's something we don't talk about enough. Skincare for
intimate areas. Menopause can cause significant changes, and self care
(45:26):
in these areas is often overlooked. How do rear work
with the SEO two lift vaginal vulvar rejuvenation treatment address
these unique needs? And loo kind of feedback to you
here from women who've tried your treatments. I know, we
just got a very organic endorsement from doctor Dave's imputatients.
Speaker 5 (45:44):
Yes, I was gonna thank you. Thank you for saying
that to doctor Dan and doctor Dais as well. One
of the things is in terms of pleasure. I think
that that is so important for women. The benefit of
sexual pleasure to just stress to our overall well being.
And what happens is is that our clarus it's just
(46:05):
like everything, blood flow slows down. Our clitterus to function
optimally needs blood flow. And COO two lift is doing
that for CEO tulify is doing that for a woman.
It's helping a woman to it's almost reversing clitteral atrophy.
Because you know, I always say a man wouldn't have
sex with a flacid penis. So many women are having
sex with flacid coloruses and so that's why they're not
(46:27):
getting the plages and that's why they don't want to
do it. If you're not feeling anything, you know, why
would you. So the CEO tulithy is very effective at that.
Also to sustained lubrication, that's not just in the beginning.
To sustain lubrication is important and that's what a woman
is getting with regular use of coeotulipy as well as
the thickening of the tissue. So doctor Day mentioned even
(46:49):
some women are having improvement with stress and continence because
of the healthier tissue. They're feeling that. So I think
it's important from a physiological point of view, but also
from an emotional and mental point of view. We're such women,
are such cerebral individuals. Our biggest sex organ is our brain.
Just the fact that we're taking care of that area
of our body is going to make us anticipate that
(47:11):
it's going to be pleasurable, it's going to be fun.
But again, we're talking about sex in this aspect, but
it's just even just health, healthy vaginal health. It's about
feeling empowered in that area of our life. Is feeling
in control in that air black when so many of
the other areas of our life maybe out of control
at this part of our life. Having that control is
going to help us to feel more confident and navigate
(47:34):
this area or this area of our life, or this
period of our life with more with more ease, and
more peace and more patience.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Now, doctor Daisy, Perimenopause and menopause bring a unique set
of challenges that extend beyond just physical symptoms. Women often
find themselves navigating shifts and their overall health, emotional wellbeing,
and even self image simultaneously. So self image, I want
to stress this the intersection of health, wellness, and beauty
place is a critical role in helping women not only
(48:02):
cope but thrive during the stage of life. So your
expertise beautifully bridges these three pillars. How do you see
them intersecting to support women during perimenopause and menopause and
what holistic approaches do you recommend?
Speaker 6 (48:16):
Yeah, well, that's a really beautiful thing. I think the
first thing is that that commonality is nutrition right. Prevention
is always the best way. So before you start addressing health,
while that's in beauty, we have to talk about what
is on our plate, what do we eating And that's
the biggest holistic approach I have in my practice, because
if you can control the intake, everything else fallows in line.
(48:38):
So you know, the American standin American diet is not
the most nutritious diet, and anyone that disagree with that,
I'm not sure when you're eating, but you know, really
being intentional about how you do your grocery shopping, and
this is things that I tell my patients. When you
go into the supermarket, you know, go to the produce
section that should be where most of your purchases is
(49:00):
avoid bio engine your food, avoid ultra process to avoid
you know, eating out, or if you eat out, be
sensible about what you eat, because all of those things
were tied into this intersectionality between health, wellness, and beauty.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
So once you.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Prevent or at least be intentional about what you eat,
then as far as your parentmenopause menopause years, it's easier
because when you do in your twenties and thirties, we'll
catch up with you in your forties, fifties, and sixties.
So by default, when you're young, you're just you can
get away with so much because you have the benefit
of being young. However, in your forties and fifties, those
(49:37):
four habits of four choices that you did not make
will catch up with you. So around this time it's
really big for women to understand that. First, give yourself
some grace. You know, you probably didn't understand what was
going to happen at this time, and now that you're here,
you're approaching a very sensible way. You know, first talking
to your doctors and gain ideas, and you so also
(49:58):
do your research. The one thing about social media I
think is fantastic is that there's so much information out there.
Of course there's some misinformation and misguided stuff, but for
the most part you can actually ask questions and get
so much answers and feedback. So when you have that
and me as a professional, the conversation is more fluid.
(50:18):
So I really appreciate whenny patient has done some research
and comes to my office and can actually talk on
a level where I feel like, Okay, they are really
taking ownership of this journey.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
Wow, well we are officially out of time. This was
a very very enlightening panel. I think we covered everything
from skincare, to vaginal health, to hormones and to overall
just mood. I think all of you for coming on.
It was so enlightening and transparent. You guys are amazing.

Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
moment of Zen right here on seven to ten WR
the voice of New york iHeartRadio. We're tackling everything from
film and fashion to health and wellness, all with the
millennial mom's perspective. I'm your host, Zenzam's up next in
the Menopause panel, brought to you by the Polish Beauty
segment on the Expert on the Microphone series, We're gonna
(03:50):
be breaking the silence on menopause and perimenopause, a topic
that affects half the population but still carries outdated stigmas.
This segment is not just about statistics, It's about understanding,
empowerment and solutions, from skin care concerns and sexual wellness
to debunking myths. We're assembled powerhouse of panel experts to
(04:10):
guide you through this conversation. First up, we have Lanaker,
the trailblazing CEO of co two Lift and Limis's Skincare,
whose revolutionary carboxy therapy treatments are transforming our skin even
in the most intimate areas. Joining us is doctor Daisy Aim.
She's a triple Board certified cosmetic surgeon and obgyn whose
practice in Houston blends beauty, health, and wellness. She also
(04:33):
hosts and is the founder of the Polished Beauty podcast.
And finally, welcoming our returning guest, Doctor Doris Day, a
world renowned dermatologist, media personality, and author whose expertise on
skin health and the mind skin Connection has earned her
accolades across the globe. Let's dive in and get real
about menopause, starting with the changes that we can see
(04:55):
and feel. Welcome to the show Superstars. Ay I Hi, everyone,
so excited to have this panel, the Mind Skin Connection.
Doctor Doris Day, I'm going to start with you. So,
as we know, stress is a major player in the
menopausal journey, and it doesn't just affect our mood, it
impacts our skin as well, and research has shown that
(05:15):
stress hormones like cortisol worse than dryness, wrinkles, and even acne. So,
Doctor Day, your work on the mind skin connection is groundbreaking.
Can you explain how mental health ties into skin health
during menopause and what strategies women can adopt to care
for both.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
This is such a great question and it's so important
because as a dermatologist, it's amazing how often our sessions
seem like the patients like therapy sessions as much as
injection and treatment sessions. But it is really all connected.
And we now know that you have estrogen receptors in
your brain and in your gut, and in your joints
and in your skin and pretty much all over your body.
(05:53):
So the mind's skin connection and the mind estrogen connection
is very real. And when I address skinish shoes, I'm
also addressing the anxiety and all of these stressors that
can affect the skin and the hair. When you have
the anxiety around menopause, you can have stress shedding of
hair on top of female pattern hair loss, which can
(06:14):
accelerate it. So I need to pay attention to what
my patients are feeling, what they're going through in their lives,
what their relationships are like if I'm going to make
a difference in their skin, especially around perimenopause, not just menopause.
And I think the big mistake we make is that
we wait until menopause to address those issues, when instead
we have to look at this sort of grayish area
(06:35):
around perimenopause. And the reason it's grayish is because it's
very long, it's slow in how it develops, and it's
different for different women. It happens at all different ages.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, bridging mental health and skincare is such an empowering concept.
I mean, your advice to our listeners is invaluable. When
does perimenopause typically start?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Perimenopause starts as soon as you start having an irregular period.
So if you're a pair, it has always been a
twenty eight day or thirty day cycle, whatever your cycle is.
Once you start having it a little bit before or
a little bit later, you've entered perimenopause.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Phys are signs and they can start in your thirties too, now,
which brings me to my next question for Lana. During perimenopause,
estrogen levels plummet, which reduces collagen production, and by age
fifty we lose about thirty percent of our skins collagen,
leading to dryness, wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity. But
your company co two Lyft has revolutionized skincare with carboxy therapy,
(07:30):
a treatment that boosts oxygenation and regeneration. So Lana, please
tell me how these treatments address the unique skin challenges
faced by menopausal women.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Well, some of the things as we as doctor Day mentioned,
you know, drier skin, thinner skin. And one of the
things that CO two left carboxygel does very well is
increase hydration. It's like a toll glass of water for
their skin. And I always talk about, you know, the
raisin grape analogy. You know, we're born this beautiful, plump
grape and then we turn into this raisin all over.
(08:04):
And fortunately we have you know, our two professionals here
who helped us slow that process down. CO two lift
is what tools that they use or other positions can
use or individuals use to reverse that as well as elasticity.
In fact, just one more point, we just completed a
clinical with the Baioclinic and they show that CO two
lift produces type one and type three collagen, which is
(08:26):
some things that's going to help women going into menopause,
which is what is decreasing. So those are some of
the things that we can do on the face and
then of course the skin on between our legs. You know,
that's another conversation again. We're addressing you know, dryness down there,
we're addressing sensitivity down there. So those are things that's
going to help women to navigate this period of life
(08:47):
and still maintain the quality of life that they're used to.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So important, and thank you for your answer that resonates
with so many women experiencing these changes and looking for effective,
non invasive solutions. Now I'm going to pivot to sexual
wellness post metopause, doctor Daisy, So, metopause doesn't just affect
our skin, it can also change our sexual health. Vaginal dryness, discomfort,
and lots of libido are common complaints, but they're often
(09:12):
ignored in mainstream conversations, and studies show that up to
fifty percent of post metopausal women experience sexual dysfunction. Yet
very fusik help. As someone who bridges cosmetic surgery and
OBGYN expertise, how do you help women regain confidence and
comfort in their intimate lives and what treatments or approaches
do you recommend. Yeah, the first thing was, you.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Know, whenever women present with their concern in the office
is basically just listen to her right, hear her story out,
what has been happening in her life, where she's in
her journey, and that really allows me to tailor treatment
for her because you know, as we age, as Lana
has mentioned, Doctor Day mentioned as to doing deplete, and
the vaginal tissue health changes, it becomes thinner, is more
(09:56):
sensitive and as far as discomfort, but the nerve end
is a not as sensitive as well, So your pleasure
is much decreased as you're older. So when I listen,
I gather this information. Then I start with a treatment
option customized to her need. The number one priority is
estrogen resplacement because there's nothing else that will replace estrogen
and treatment of the sexual health of a woman. So
(10:18):
there's local estrogen that I prescribe that they can use
to improve it. But we do have od jns like
COR two lift, We have medications that are non hormonal
that can be helpful. We have devices that you can
actually use to boost you know, lubrication helps with the
tissue and sensitivity and then you know stem cells, you know,
it's also helpful in that error. I package a treatment
(10:41):
that's very comprehensive to her need based on what her
concern is genital urinized symptoms of menopause is something that
is known and it is common, and a lot of
women don't associate that would be in menopause. They just think, oh,
I'm running to the bathroom a lot lately, and not
think it is because of their age or of the menopause.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
That's as social with it such a critical topic, and
thank you for those insights because they're definitely helping destigmatize
these conversations for many listeners. Now we're going to talk
about anti aging innovations with doctor Doris. So many women
in menopause are often bombarded with anti aging products, but
not all are effective or even safe. So, as a
(11:19):
dermatologist and innovator, what breakthroughs in skincare should women look
for and are there any specific ingredients you recommend from
menopausal skin.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
So I think it's addressed on several levels. One is
internally with like really paying attention to your diet. I
absolutely think hormone replacement therapy is undervalued and I think
it's I think of it even as malpractice that we're
not telling more women about the value and safety and
efficacy of hormone replacement in protecting collagen and protecting your brain,
(11:48):
your heart, your joints, your bones, all of those things
that hormone replacement does. I tell women that you're not
taking extra estrogen. You're replacing what your body still needs
but can no longer make, and supplementing what your body needs.
And I and estrogen is not a carcinogen. People think
about cancer as their main risk, when in reality that
discussion needs to happen. I'm not saying it's right for
(12:09):
every woman, but I'm saying that we're not having the
conversation openly and comfortably enough than women think they just
have to power through this phase. But in the office,
we talk about the importance of diet. Getting enough protein.
Resistance training is really important. You build collagen in your
skin from doing weightlifting, not just in your muscles, and
that's important. I think collagen supplements can be helpful. I
(12:31):
prefer usually switching off of a prescription retinolic acid to
an over the counter retinal because I think that they're
gentler and they're even more affective, and they also are
combined with other antioxidants that make them work better and
are better tolerated. Then there's lots of peptides stem cells
exosomes that we use in off the streetments. Softwave is
one of my favorites because it has no downtime. The
(12:54):
data behind it is great and my patients are thrilled
with the results and it's very tolerable, so that tie
and lifts without injecting anything. Fillers and neuromodulators are amazing.
We really understand the commonalities of how we age, the
changes in bone and fat pads and how to balance out.
So the rate limiting factor and how you age are
(13:14):
going to be your eyes. If the bones around your
eyes shrike, that means a hole gets bigger and your
eyes can either sink in or get more hooded. If
you try to overfill the face, try to have the
same structure you did when you were twenty, your eyes
are going to look smaller and more recessed. So you
can't replace everything, but you can create balance and improve
skin quality. And there's so much we can do with
(13:37):
all the devices we have that can be safe and effective.
But this is a journey. It's small things done over
time that will make a very big difference.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Wow, look at you. I mean you said it all
in like under two minutes. I know our listeners definitely
appreciate your practical expert advice, especially on navigating the overwhelming
skincare market, because you just nipped it all in the
butt and gave me that one oh one idiot's guide
to swin care. So let's talk about busting menopause myths, Lana.
Let's tackle some of the myths head on. One of
(14:08):
the most persistent is that menopause is the end of
vitality and beauty, which couldn't be further from the truth.
As someone at the forefront of empowering women through science
based skincare, how do you challenge these myths and help
women redefine aging. I mean, you are gorgeous, you are beautiful,
you are successful.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Talk to me, Oh, thank you so much for Yeah,
and I'm in I'm menopausal or I've finished my last period.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
My list was two years ago.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
But you know, I think that every part, every every
stage of our lives, they're beautiful things and they're challenging things.
I mean, you think about you know, toddlers, they are
challenged with they can't.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Walk, but they're just you love, we love toddlers.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
And then you go through the adolescent phase, they're challenges well, menopause.
Perimenopause is just another phase of life, but it's such
a beautiful phase. I really we like to think of
this as the best time of my life. Truly, if
I was to have a wish to go back in time,
would I maybe to change some things, But certainly I
love this part of my life. It's really that caterpillar
(15:12):
Tom butterfly stage. It's we have the wisdom, we have
the experience now, fortunately we have the technology that can
help us to feel as if we are in our
twenties or thirties, but we have the experience, we have
the wisdom to navigate life in a totally different way
with confidence. So I like to think of this time
of life as an exciting time of life that we
(15:34):
can be even more powerful and more successful. And then again,
so it's about educating ourselves as to what it is
we need you And I like something that doctor Day said,
it's not starting now at this age. Fortunately I had
women in my life that helps me from in my
thirties to understand the importance of bioidenticals, to understand the
importance of doing the steps needed so that when I'm here,
(15:55):
I'm not going to feel the symptoms that many women
feel if they have neglected to do things to prepare
for this part.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Of our lives.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, that wraps up the first portion of our menopause panel.
Do stick around towards the end of the show. We're
going to be wrapping up with more insights from our
experts on the microphone. In the Polished Beauty segment.

Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven to ten WR
the voice of New york iHeartRadio. This is the Hydration
with Heart segment brought to you by One's Pot of Coconut.
I'm your home, Zen Sam's Today we have the perfect
(17:02):
blend of hydration and inspiration, and Tonight's topic is one
that's both profound and universal. Death. But don't turn that
dial just yet. Our guest tonight is here to show
us that understanding death can actually teach us how to
live more fully. Joining me is Julie McFadden, better known
to her millions of followers as hospice Nurse Julie. She's
(17:24):
a hospice and palliative care nurse with over fifteen years
of experience, a social media star, and the author of
her book Nothing to Fear, Demystifying Death to Live more Fully.
She's here to help us break the taboos, demystify stigmas,
address our fears, and give us the tools to navigate
end of life care with grace and acceptance. Get ready
(17:45):
for a conversation that will definitely challenge your perceptions and
leave you feeling empowered. Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Hello, Thank you what an intro.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
So excited to have you on your story. My dear
is so inspired. I mean, you've spent years working at
the intersection of life and death, witnessing the beauty and
pain of those final moments, and it truly does take
a special kind of courage and compassion to do what
you do. But let's go back to the beginning. What
drew you to this line of work and was there
(18:18):
a defining moment that inspired you to not only become
a hospice nurse, but to write nothing to Fear?
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Yes. So you know, I've been a nurse for over
fifteen years and the first part of my career within
the ICU, and which is like worry you're keeping people
alive at all cost and my second year into that,
just two years into it, I still stayed for another
six which is another story. But those two years I
started seeing how keeping someone alive at all costs was
(18:47):
causing more suffering and we weren't talking about it. No
one was saying any thing about it, and I eventually
started to. So I had a patient that really changed
the view of what we were doing there, like death
was not the worst possible outcome for this patient, And
it was the first time I spoke up and it
(19:08):
really made a difference. The family did end up turning
off machines for this patient. The patient did die and
it was a sad, scary moment for me because I
felt like I was the one who, you know, caused
in quotations that, But it also helped me see how I.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Could be an advocate.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
And there is a way, and we're all going to die,
right and if that is the case, we need to
start talking about it so people can die how they choose,
you know, maybe not being a hospital hooked to machines
trying to keep them alive if the outcome is going
to be death no matter what in their case. So
that drew me to hospice nursing eight years later. It
(19:50):
took me eight years, but I eventually did it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I love that you're turning your experiences into a resource
for others, and your passion really shines through in your work.
Remarkable stuff. Now, death anxiety. Just hearing those words gives
many of us pause. So studies show that fear of
death is one of the most common anxieties worldwide, and
yet it's something we all must face. And in your experience, Julie,
(20:16):
why do people have such a hard time discussing death
and dying and how can we really begin to overcome
this discomfort.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
Yes, so I you know, my book is called Nothing
to Fear. However, I wanted it to be called initially
Normal to Fear, So it's not to me. It's not
about like, don't fear death, you know, it's about you're
going to It's the great unknown. It's scary, it's sad.
(20:44):
You know, there's so many uncomfortable feelings around it. But
what I've learned from being around hundreds, if not thousands,
of dying people, is that the ones that were willing,
the ones that were dying in the family around them,
they the ones that were willing to talk about it,
to say the truth about it, even if it was
(21:04):
I don't want to, I'm angry, then I'm dying. I'm
angry this is happening. They seemed to be able to
live better because they weren't dead yet, right, They seem
to live better and die more peacefully. So why do
we fear it? I think it's the great unknown? And
just because we fear it doesn't mean we don't need
(21:26):
to talk about it and plan for it. And if
we do, it doesn't mean it's going to happen faster.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
In fact, it usually seems to alleviate the fear, even
just for a bit, just for a bit, so important.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
To start normalizing death, and that makes so much sense,
and breaking those barriers is really going to be what
changes the way we approach life itself. Right, yes, yes, yes, Now,
your social media presence is nothing short of incredible. Over
three million followers. Congratulations, you're officially an influencer.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You've found a whole new way to connect with people
on such an intimate and challenging topic. And social media
is often seen as a place for escapism, yet you've
made it a platform for education and healing. What motivated
you to start sharing your insights online? And do you
think platforms like Instagram make these conversations more accessible for people?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
I mean I am just as surprised as anyone else.
I am forty two years old. Just so you know,
I started doing this three years ago kind of on
a whim, and it just took off on TikTok first,
which is hilarious because I think I was thirty nine
at the time and to be taking off on TikTok
with like what is happening? I got on initially just
to watch my nieces, like do dances, you know, and
(22:41):
I think there's something to be said about that. You know,
in my day to day real life, my friends and
family didn't necessarily want to hear about my job as
a hospice nurse, right, But there seems to be something
about the internet. And maybe there's like because it's not
because I'm not face to face with them in real life,
maybe it's easier to take in the information. But you know,
(23:03):
that first video I did.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
Kind of on a whim. There was no plan that
didn't have like multiple videos recorded.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
They were in bad lighting and it was just sort
of me turning on my camera and talking about the
things I know. I think it took like three or
four videos and my and my page just started going
viral and it just kept happening on all different platforms.
So it's something people want to talk about and learn about,
whether they admit that or not.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So, you know, I just girl, you're getting a lot
of help from the other side. I have to I
have to, oh my gosh home. So now, one of
the most profound ideas in your book is that death
isn't the worst possible outcome, like you've repeated on this interview,
that's a radical shift from how many of us think,
(23:50):
if not death, then what is the worst possible outcome?
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Suffering?
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Suffering, And when we try to preserve life at all costs,
you will suffer. End of story, period. I've seen it
with my own eyes over and over and over again
as an ic you nurse. We caused and again we're
doing wonderful things and our health in healthcare, right, and
that's why people are living longer. And death does seem
(24:15):
like it doesn't happen, right, and so there's a part
of it that's amazing. And then we just take it
too far. We just take it too far sometimes and
it causes a lot of suffering.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Wow, that's powerful. It really makes you think about the
choices we make in our lives and how we define
quote unquote living well. Yes, now you've talked about deathbed
phenomena and these experiences that can seem almost mystical or spiritual.
For some this might sound a little eerie, but it's
actually quite common. Can you share a few examples of
(24:48):
this and explain what they mean in the context of
the dying process.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
Yes, So, coming from an ic you nurse to hospice nurse,
when I started seeing these deathbed phenomena.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
What you do?
Speaker 9 (24:58):
It's undeniable. As a hospice nurse, I was like, what
the heck is going on here? And really we don't
have answers. There aren't real scientific answers for the deathbed phenomena.
But the two I see the most is the rally
or the surge. The real name is called terminal lucidity,
which is when someone looks like they are going to
die maybe any minute. They have been unconscious for four days,
(25:22):
and then suddenly boom, they wake up. They have a
great day, maybe they get out of bed, they say
they're hungry, they eat a burger, their personality comes back.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
And you're like, wow, this is a miracle.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
They're back, they're here, they're going to live, and then
they die shortly after.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
So it's like a gift because you get this.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Last hurrah, But if you don't know what it is,
you're not expecting it, it can be very devastating because
then they die shortly after. So that's one that we
see the most. The second one is visioning people seeing
dead relatives, dead loved ones, dead.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Old pets, neighbors, and.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
They'll have full conversations with them. Patients have told me
countless time. My parents came to me last night. They
said they're coming to get me soon. Not yet, but
it's all going to be okay, and they'll let me
know when it's time. And this has happened like countless times,
countless times, and they are alert. And the people who
are telling me this are alert and oriented. They're not
(26:18):
like taking their last breath. They're like walking around and
just as lucid as you and I wow, I know
it is wow. And there's no real explanation. We don't
really know. There's theories and things, but we don't really
know scientifically why it's happening. We just know it does.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It's a reminder that even at the end of life,
there can be moments of wonder and connection, and that
is the transition they're transitioning. When my dad passed away
in twenty sixteen from aggressive lung cancer, the day prior
to him passing away was exactly what you described, and
hospice for him was at my sister's house and he
(26:58):
had this great burst of energy and then the next
day that it was just like he had enough energy
to muster up what he could to talk to everybody,
and you know, make that last moment count and yeah,
so yeah, you're spot on. Now you say that information
is power when it comes to the dying process, and
(27:19):
I couldn't agree more. Knowledge can ease so much fear.
What are some of the key pieces of information that
families and patients should know about this process.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
Oh, the first one is the body knows how to die.
We are biologically built to be born and grow and
live and biologically built to die, and the body knows
how to do it. Literally, it has built in mechanisms
to help us do it. So if you're dying a
natural death, meaning you're dying from something, but you're naturally
allowing the process to take over. Our bodies have built
(27:48):
in mechanisms to help us do that. Switches off the
hunger and thirst mechanism, switches up the sleep mechanism. So
that's why people dying sleep a lot and don't eat
and drink. Sleep a lot and don't eat and drink.
So the less we mess with that process, the better
it usually goes, and the more peaceful it usually goes.
So that's the most fascinating thing to me that I
(28:11):
didn't even know as an icy U nurse, but you
see it so often as a hospice nurse.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
It's like, people need to know this.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
People need to know that our bodies are built to
help us die and it's there for us.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
It's there for us at.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
The end, such practical advice, Julie, And you're giving people
a sense of control during a time that often feels
overwhelming and things are just spiraling out of control. So
kudos to you. Now. One of the most memorable takeaways
from your book is the importance of preparation, like sharing
passwords before someone passes. It's such a simple yet profound idea.
(28:49):
So if you had to pick the top three things
everyone should do before they die, what would they be? Oh?
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Wow, okay, top three things. Fill out an advanced directive
dating various specific circumstances of what you would want versus
what you wouldn't want, meaning like if I have a
brain aneurism and I'm not conscious, Like do you want
a feeding tube or don't you want a feeding tube?
So specific things like that that you fill out an
(29:16):
advanced directive. Always have a beneficiary to your banks and
the money you have, or your state, like somehow get
in a state planner, a lawyer or something like that.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
To help you tie up loose ends before you die.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Even if you think you don't have things to give
to people, believe me, you do, and it's going to
leave a lot of work for them if you don't
get it. If you don't get it tied up nice
and pretty before you die, share your passwords to all
of your banks and your phones and your emails to
at least one trusted person. And then I think the
fourth sorry is get your funeral or mortuary plans in order.
Speaker 3 (29:54):

mess or things not churning out quite the way you envisioned.
But Vgjfloores is a game changer. From the very first
consultation to the final polish, Amberson and his team were professional, timely,

and incredibly or organized. They completely transformed the flooring in
my house and the result stunning. What stood out most
to me was their attention to detail. They didn't just
install floors, they made sure every corner, every seam, and
every finish was perfect. The team worked efficiently maintaining a
clean and organized work environment throughout the process, and believe me,
(32:19):
as a mom, the attention to cleanliness goes a long
way in earning my trust. But what truly says VGJ
Floors apart is their creativity. They don't just offer flooring solutions,
they offer artistry. Amberson brings a passion and expertise all

Speaker 10 (34:21):
Hey, how worry? How's everything?
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Everything's great, So excited to have you on. So you've
been providing flooring services for twenty years. But before we
dive into the details of your services, let's first go
back to the beginning. I'd love to know what inspired
you to work with floors in wood. Where did this
passion come.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
From I grew up on the farm.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
You know, we will use to work with wood, so
you know, we finished up with it over there. Then
I decided to come here and start doing floor as
you know, we finish Flora, install nel Floria. You know,
I start falling in love and love and love, you know,
and start my own business.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
All the way from Brazil right here. That passion undoubtedly
comes through in your business. So let's shift to that.
The flooring in your home or workplace endures some of
the heaviest use every day, whether it's from muddy shoes,
kitchen spills, or pets. So I always tell people you
better hope your flooring can withstand the inevitable wear and
tear over time. This is where you can help. Let's
(35:16):
touch on the time it takes to complete flooring. So
you service anything from one room to a whole home
to entire workspace. What's the installation process like and how
long does it typically take to complete flooring for these spaces,
keeping in mind that homeowners and workers are anxious to
get back in there.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Correct, that's correct.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
It depends to on the size of the area that
we're doing. For example, most of the time we're doing
empty house, you know, that's to have no furnch or not,
so you go in quickly. If it's a homeowner live
in a house, we have to move furniture back and forth.
So for installation depends on the area and all can
be done in one day, two days the mass three
days depends on the square photos the same thing with
the refinished.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
Refinished can be done.
Speaker 11 (35:55):
If it's a natural say of talking about around five
hundred square feet, it can be done maybe in one day,
depends on.
Speaker 10 (36:00):
The weather, or it can be done on the second
day early in the morning.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Well we're looking at no matter a three to four
day job at the most, and the earliest one day
job very effective. Now, I know. A large value of
yours is offering quality flooring without the hefty price tag,
which really sets you apart in the market, making VGJ
floors cost efficient and an ideal choice for the average customer.
(36:25):
How do you ensure high quality work but stay within
such tight budgets, Well, you have to.
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Have a good vendors as well, you know, and you
know you got to compete with the others, you know,
So if you've got to work with quality, you know,
You've got to deliver quality to.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
The clients no matter what. You know, If we delivered
to the clients a good quality, if they think they
can afford our service, you know, we give it to you.
If not, you want to go for a cheap product,
unfortunately we're not for you.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Lastly, what trending requests, because I'm sure you get a
lot of requests. What are you seeing from homeowners today?
Are there any cool new materials or styles people should
know about.
Speaker 11 (37:02):
Yeah, there's a lot of new style. If you're talking
about pre finished floor, there's so many callers. If you're
talking about the LVT, the Luxurvino, there's so many options
as well. There's so many callers, you know, if you're
going for that area. And I always like to sinking
with Tyre. You know, we have so many options.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah, I know, it's not easy to find the good
floor people, contractors, and you seem to be at the
heart of it all and at the beat of it all.
So thank you so much for coming on.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Welcome back to the Menopause Panel, brought to you by
the Polished Beauty segment. Expert on the Microphone Series today
include CEO of CO two Lift Lanakker, Doctor Dais Aim,
Tripleboard certified obgyn and cosmetic surgeon, and doctor Doris Day,
world renowned dermatologist and media personality. We're going to talk
about hormonal therapies and alternatives now. So HRTs is a
(38:58):
perfect topic. Is often a go to solution for menopausal symptoms,
but it's not for everyone. Meanwhile, non hormonal alternatives are
gaining traction. So doctor Daisy, can you break down the
benefits and risks of HRT versus non hormonal treatments and
how women can decide what's best for them. Okay, well
that's a lot of question. Do we have ten minutes? Yeah,
(39:21):
you have two.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
So the benefits of HRT are endless. We've heard so
much about it, and let me just backtrack. There are a
lot of pieces of mind that do not want HRT,
so it's not for everyone. The women that choose not
to end that's okay, so long as you were informed,
educated and empowered to make that choice is yours. But
the benefits of HRT are endless. You're looking at hot
flashes night's wet. That's a common thing, but you also
(39:44):
have vaginal help. As I mentioned earlier, it's a great
benefits to be on HRT because your teacher is gonna shrink,
it's gonna shrivel, it's gonna we stlo away, and it's
good to restore it with estrogen. And then there's mood stabilization,
just feeling better cognitive and slip quality. That's one of
the things that happened as you age. Your slip quality
just goes down, so HRT is beneficial on that. So
(40:07):
of the long term benefits are very bone health. You know,
we talked about strength exercising that is great, but HRT
on itself improves that and help decreases ostoporosis and risk fracture.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Quoting fast would benefits.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
Especially if you start HRT ten years before your actual menopause,
that is the most beneficial for you. If you do
started a little bit longer after menopause, it may not
be as beneficial for you. Then you have as I mentioned,
cognitive and doctor they did a great job talking about
skin health and hair health. So you have those long
term benifitts. The risk of HRT. Unfortunately, with a WHI study.
(40:44):
There's all this misinformation out there about breast cancer and
country indication, and the answer the shorting answers know. But
of course the longer answer is each patient has to
be individualized to see what the risks are. Another risk
is in a mutual cancer. If you're on HRT with
estrogen alone and the progester and needs to have your uters,
you are at risk bhendom mutual cancer, so you need
(41:06):
to be on HRT that has progesterine to counter that risk.
Then you have heart disease, as I mentioned, if you're not,
if you're starting a little bit later, like you're sixty.
I have pictients that come in my office sixty years plus.
They're perton much by HRT going on and like, I've
never been on it. Can I get started?
Speaker 3 (41:23):
The short answer is.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Well, let's a substuence, see what the benefits are, because
it's all about the risk and benefit. Now, for the
non hormnotherapy, they tend to just treat a symptom, so
you don't have this comprehensive beneficial effect of it. So
there are medications that will just take care of your
heart flashes and that's it, or medication I will take
care of your sexual health and that's it.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
And then you have devices that's very.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Localized, so you don't have a systemic benefits when you
are non hormonotherapy. I have a lot of patients, as
I mentioned, that do not want to be on HRT,
and that's okay. So I don't want any woman listening
to this feel like they're uble data or.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Have to be on some then you do not. But
so long as you're educated in form, then you can
make a choice such a nuanced topic. Thank you for
your guidance. It's definitely going to empower women to make
informed decisions. Now, let's chat lifestyle tips for menopausal skin health.
So skincare isn't just about what you put on your skin,
it's about what you put into your body. Doctor DA,
(42:20):
can you share some lifestyle tips, diet, hydration, or habits
that women can adopt and maintain healthy skin during menopause.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Yeah, this is a really important time to paytent to
what you put in your body. I always start with
vitamin D because vitamin D is essential and we don't
need to rely on the sun for vitamin D. I
usually recommend vitamin D with vitamin K two because that
helps with vitamin D absorption and your gut biong changes
so you don't make K in your gut as well.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
As you used to.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
And then magnesium magnesium L three and eight magnesium glycinate
both help with sleep and muscle building, so that's really important.
And there are some other supplement that you can take
as well. DHA can be helpful. Creatine is really important
for a muscle building and that can also help the skin.
So there's a lot you can do in terms of
(43:08):
supplements to add to your diet. But making making sure
you get enough protein is really really critical, and I
think it's more important as you get older, whereas we
used to undervalue it, exercise becomes critical. Zone two cardio
is the easiest cardio to do. It's just walking twenty minutes.
You're not strussing your body. You can have a conversation
(43:29):
when you're in zone two cardio. I walk to and
from work every day. That's my zone two. It's two
and a half miles each way, so I get my
zone two in. But then doing resistance training also jumping
things that are going to stimulate bones on your circulation
are really really helpful. One of the things even though
this is an internal is when you hit perry and
post menopause, you're really not building collagen. So when you're
(43:51):
doing all these activities outdoor, being extra vigilant about your
sun protection to protect your collagen is important. And then
speaking of collagen, I I think collagen supplements are helpful.
They're a little bit controversial where some doctors don't think
that there's as much evidence based medicine, and that's true,
we always want more evidence based medicine, but these are supplements.
You're never going to have pure science behind it. But
(44:14):
the hypothetical data, everything that I've seen that shows how
when you take collagen, this is a protein, even though
it gets metabolized, it does become building blocks per collagen
and can help joints and skin and hair on the
other side. And then the carboxy mask as a Lana has,
My patients in pery and postmenopause love this masks. I
have brides do it the day before their wedding. I
(44:36):
have the mother of the brides and pery and postmenopause
do it with them, and they email me from wherever
they are telling me how their skin was radiant and
glowing and even with the vaginal carboxy. They will tell
me that they have less urinary incontinence and they have
better sexual pleasure. So these are things you can do
at home. They're not costly. You can buy it on
(44:57):
Amazon or get it from your doctor, and they make
a huge difference in how you feel and how you
look and how you age.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Wow again, great answer, great guide, Thank you so much,
simple actionable tips like these that definitely make such a
big difference in how women feel in their own skin.
Thank you for that, Doctor Day, Lana. I'm going to
segue into doctor Day handed it off intimate skincare solutions.
So here's something we don't talk about enough. Skincare for
intimate areas. Menopause can cause significant changes, and self care
(45:26):
in these areas is often overlooked. How do rear work
with the SEO two lift vaginal vulvar rejuvenation treatment address
these unique needs? And loo kind of feedback to you
here from women who've tried your treatments. I know, we
just got a very organic endorsement from doctor Dave's imputatients.
Speaker 5 (45:44):
Yes, I was gonna thank you. Thank you for saying
that to doctor Dan and doctor Dais as well. One
of the things is in terms of pleasure. I think
that that is so important for women. The benefit of
sexual pleasure to just stress to our overall well being.
And what happens is is that our clarus it's just
(46:05):
like everything, blood flow slows down. Our clitterus to function
optimally needs blood flow. And COO two lift is doing
that for CEO tulify is doing that for a woman.
It's helping a woman to it's almost reversing clitteral atrophy.
Because you know, I always say a man wouldn't have
sex with a flacid penis. So many women are having
sex with flacid coloruses and so that's why they're not
(46:27):
getting the plages and that's why they don't want to
do it. If you're not feeling anything, you know, why
would you. So the CEO tulithy is very effective at that.
Also to sustained lubrication, that's not just in the beginning.
To sustain lubrication is important and that's what a woman
is getting with regular use of coeotulipy as well as
the thickening of the tissue. So doctor Day mentioned even
(46:49):
some women are having improvement with stress and continence because
of the healthier tissue. They're feeling that. So I think
it's important from a physiological point of view, but also
from an emotional and mental point of view. We're such women,
are such cerebral individuals. Our biggest sex organ is our brain.
Just the fact that we're taking care of that area
of our body is going to make us anticipate that
(47:11):
it's going to be pleasurable, it's going to be fun.
But again, we're talking about sex in this aspect, but
it's just even just health, healthy vaginal health. It's about
feeling empowered in that area of our life. Is feeling
in control in that air black when so many of
the other areas of our life maybe out of control
at this part of our life. Having that control is
going to help us to feel more confident and navigate
(47:34):
this area or this area of our life, or this
period of our life with more with more ease, and
more peace and more patience.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Now, doctor Daisy, Perimenopause and menopause bring a unique set
of challenges that extend beyond just physical symptoms. Women often
find themselves navigating shifts and their overall health, emotional wellbeing,
and even self image simultaneously. So self image, I want
to stress this the intersection of health, wellness, and beauty
place is a critical role in helping women not only
(48:02):
cope but thrive during the stage of life. So your
expertise beautifully bridges these three pillars. How do you see
them intersecting to support women during perimenopause and menopause and
what holistic approaches do you recommend?
Speaker 6 (48:16):
Yeah, well, that's a really beautiful thing. I think the
first thing is that that commonality is nutrition right. Prevention
is always the best way. So before you start addressing health,
while that's in beauty, we have to talk about what
is on our plate, what do we eating And that's
the biggest holistic approach I have in my practice, because
if you can control the intake, everything else fallows in line.
(48:38):
So you know, the American standin American diet is not
the most nutritious diet, and anyone that disagree with that,
I'm not sure when you're eating, but you know, really
being intentional about how you do your grocery shopping, and
this is things that I tell my patients. When you
go into the supermarket, you know, go to the produce
section that should be where most of your purchases is
(49:00):
avoid bio engine your food, avoid ultra process to avoid
you know, eating out, or if you eat out, be
sensible about what you eat, because all of those things
were tied into this intersectionality between health, wellness, and beauty.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
So once you.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Prevent or at least be intentional about what you eat,
then as far as your parentmenopause menopause years, it's easier
because when you do in your twenties and thirties, we'll
catch up with you in your forties, fifties, and sixties.
So by default, when you're young, you're just you can
get away with so much because you have the benefit
of being young. However, in your forties and fifties, those
(49:37):
four habits of four choices that you did not make
will catch up with you. So around this time it's
really big for women to understand that. First, give yourself
some grace. You know, you probably didn't understand what was
going to happen at this time, and now that you're here,
you're approaching a very sensible way. You know, first talking
to your doctors and gain ideas, and you so also
(49:58):
do your research. The one thing about social media I
think is fantastic is that there's so much information out there.
Of course there's some misinformation and misguided stuff, but for
the most part you can actually ask questions and get
so much answers and feedback. So when you have that
and me as a professional, the conversation is more fluid.
(50:18):
So I really appreciate whenny patient has done some research
and comes to my office and can actually talk on
a level where I feel like, Okay, they are really
taking ownership of this journey.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
Wow, well we are officially out of time. This was
a very very enlightening panel. I think we covered everything
from skincare, to vaginal health, to hormones and to overall
just mood. I think all of you for coming on.
It was so enlightening and transparent. You guys are amazing.
Speaker 8 (50:45):
