What if the hormone replacement therapy you're taking is recycling in your body and creating the exact problems you're trying to solve?

Most doctors test your hormone levels and prescribe accordingly. But here's what they're missing: it's not just about the hormones you make or the hormones you take – it's about...

You're spending hundreds of dollars every month on high-quality supplements…so why do you still feel exhausted, inflamed, and stuck?

The problem isn't the supplements you're buying. It's that your body might only be absorbing 10-15% of what you're taking. The rest? Literally flushed down the toilet.

In this game-changing conversation with integrative health practitioner Lindsey Burwell, we unc...

Heart disease kills more midlife women than all cancers combined, yet most of us are getting the same five-minute doctor's appointment, the same statin prescription, and the same confusing advice about cholesterol that's been recycled for 70 years.

What if the negative thoughts keeping you awake at 3 AM aren't trying to torture you—but are actually messengers with critical information about what you need most? If you've ever felt consumed by worries about money, regrets about parenting, or fears about aging, you're not alone. But according to Dr. Yasmine Saad, one of New York's top three psychologists, everything we've been taught about handling these thoughts is...

What if the random symptoms you've been told are "all separate" – the hives, exhaustion, brain fog, and digestive chaos – are actually ALL connected through one dysfunctional system in your body that affects 1 in 5 people?

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
