What if your hormone problems aren’t just a part of getting older but a warning sign your body is overwhelmed, depleted, and asking for help? This week, Dr Joanna Macmeikan, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hormone Health Coach, joins us to explore how your body whispers before it screams, why "normal" blood test results mean nothing, and how to decode perimenopause before it wrecks your metabolism, mood, and motivation.
On this episode we covered:
- The 5 hidden perimenopause triggers that your doctor probably won’t mention
- How ‘wired and tired’ becomes your new normal (and how to undo it)
- The real reason your bloodwork looks “fine” even though you feel awful
- What TCM reveals about hormonal chaos that Western medicine misses completely
- Why your body needs to feel safe before it can balance hormones and lose weight

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
