This is our second chat with Dr. Kristy Prouse, MD FRCSC (OB/Gyn); Chief Medical Officer of the Institute for Hormonal Health and we’re really excited about this one. Why? Because we know YOU’RE going to be excited about it too.

We’re always talking about the effects of aging on our bits and parts but the one thing we can not talk enough about is… why we don’t have to suffer. For most women we talk to, urinal incontinence is a big ...

One of the most common symptoms of menopause is memory loss. We can't find our keys, remember what we were just going to say, forget the word to describe that thingamajiggy we need. It starts off slowly but as we start to lose our nouns, we start to really worry that we might be headed for disaster.

Recently in the news we'd read that there has been talk about a connection between menopause and Alzheimer's Disease. Natu...

You may have heard that ‘shrooms’ (psilocybin) are making a comeback. The use of psychedelics is being touted as helpful for depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, PTSD and many other conditions.  They’re also a great support for some of our menopause symptoms. We’ve tried a daily dose and can attest to its calming properties and its ability to help us focus!

In this episode we talk to Irie Selkirk, Co-Founder of GoodCap Wellness ...

Navigating menopause is tough with no one at the helm. There are so many gaps in our healthcare and the information we need to really thrive during this time. It can be so frustrating and lonely made worse by not feeling like we have someone who has our back.
When we found out that there was such a thing as a 'Menopause Practitioner' we almost fell over! What? Someone to finally help guide us through this challenging phase ...

Some of us are embracing aging while some of us are raging against it. Is it a no-win battle? Maybe not.  In this episode we’re talking to Melissa Fillion (M.Sc) - Personal Training Coach. Melissa knows better than most that we are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to aging. For example, did you know that muscle mass decreases later in life for men than women?  She talks about how the decline in estrogen has a direct...

Essential oils have been known to have many calming and healing properties but most of us picture using them with a hot bath or in a calm and restful environment. We don’t, however, consider hot flashes, hormone rage or night sweats those calm and restful situations!

Today, Angela Everett is joining us to talk about the soothing, cooling and calming benefits of using essential oils to help treat some of the more common symptoms of ...

Whether we want children or not, could have them or not or weren’t even sure about the topic all together, going into menopause takes all the decision making away from us. It’s like Mother Nature pulls the rug out from under us and says ‘There. No more babies for you!”  It’s a lot to process.

Imagine if the ability to start a family was taken away from you all together while you were in your prime.  Our guest in this episode of “...

While some of us are embracing aging gracefully, we admit that we might be raging against it – just a little! But like most consumers, we’re wary of brands that tout key messages over key ingredients. If we’re going to drop a lot of dough on a new skincare regime, we want to know that the brand we’re buying really understands the changes our skin goes through as we hit perimenopause and how we need to treat those pain points – like...

This is our first episode of Season 2 of the She2.0 podcast and we’re shaking it up! Not only will we continue to bring on our amazing experts to share their wisdom in order to make peri/menopause a more positive experience, but we’re adding ‘Real women. Real stories’ to the mix. It was hard to find women who were happy to come forward and not only share their menopause story, but also their identity! With menopause – the stigma i...

We think that after everything that’s happened this past year, we all deserve a MONTH off for the holidays! The season ahead is going to be a challenge for many of us who are combining menopause symptoms with many areas in the Red Zone or, like us, full lockdown. That makes holiday shopping even more chaotic! Thank god for egg nog and wine!

Tune in and listen to what’s ahead for you and She2.0 in the year to come.  We’re lining up ...

It’s hard to talk about a topic no one seems to want to talk about. Take menopause, for example. So how do you talk to the people in your life about this important change? How do you let your husband know it’s not him or tell your kids that sometimes Mommy comes unglued? Better yet, in an ageist workforce – how do you gain support and understanding for some of the gaffs you might make due to your symptoms like memory loss or brain ...

Most of us don’t really understand the function or location of our pelvic floor. Some of us couldn’t locate it even with GPS.  In fact, it was only a few months ago that one of us even realized we had a pelvic floor!

In this episode we’re talking to Nav Grewal, BSc, MScPT, Pelvic Physiotherapist who shares a thing or 10 that we didn’t know about pelvic floor health. Starting with – what is a pelvic floor?

We thought all we had to d...

There’s more to menopause!

In our last episode we introduced you to our new resident expert, Andrea Walsh, MD. Andrea is an OB/GYN and advocate for women and women’s health. We discussed the difference between peri and menopause but we didn’t get to dive deep enough into the potential health risks that can become larger issues if we ignore them.

In this episode we’re picking up where we left off by talking about some of the red...
