Wellness Junkies | Beauty & Wellness Tips, Hacks, Recs & Reviews for Women 40+Show Notes
In celebration of Women's Hormone Health - Welcome to this special series of Wellness Junkies, where over the next few weeks we’re shining a spotlight on women’s health — specifically perimenopause, menopause, HRT, and everything in between. We’re revisiting some of our favorite women’s health episodes following some big news from the FDA. In this episode of Wellness Junkies, we dive deep into the often-taboo topics surrounding women's health with our special guest, Dr. C, also known as The Vag Doc on social media. With over 16 years of experience as a board-certified OB-GYN, Dr. C has made a name for herself on social media by breaking down complex issues related to gynecology (from periods to menopause) with clarity, compassion, and a touch of humor. The conversation kicks off with Dr. C sharing her journey into social media, highlighting the lack of open discussions about gynecology and midlife women's health. She emphasizes the importance of empowering women to ask questions about their bodies, especially during the often confusing transitions of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. C treats us to a wealth of information as she answers common questions about IUDs, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the changes women experience during menopause. She explains the benefits of keeping an IUD during midlife, the importance of estrogen for vaginal health, and how to navigate hormone levels effectively. The episode also touches on the significance of pelvic floor therapy, and encourages women to seek help and not to feel embarrassed about their health concerns, reinforcing that there is no shame in asking questions. As the episode wraps up, Amy and Melissa engage in a fun myth or fact segment, tackling common misconceptions about women's health, including the impact of wearing leggings on yeast infections. Join us for this enlightening and entertaining episode as we break down barriers and foster a community where women's health is discussed openly and honestly. Whether you're navigating menopause, considering an IUD, or simply seeking to understand your body better, this episode is packed with valuable information and insights from a trusted expert in the field.

“Clean” on the front of a jar can mean almost anything. There is no standardized regulatory definition of “clean” for cosmetics, so clean skincare can still carry synthetic fragrance, dyes, and parabens under a pretty label. If you have ever stood in a store unsure which claims to trust, start here.
If you're 40+, bone health probably feels like a problem for later. Then a DEXA scan at 50 comes back with osteopenia and osteoporosis, even after years of heavy lifting and HRT. That is exactly what happened to Amy Sherman, and it sent her looking for answers.
If you open a closet and feel your shoulders tighten, there is a reason. Studies link clutter and cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. That means the pile on the kitchen counter may be adding to the weight you carry every day. Decluttering your home is one of the few wellness levers fully in your control, and it can start smaller than you think. One drawer and a timer might be enough.
You have the title, the team, and the income. So why does it still feel like something is in the way? Brett Chinn says the answer usually lives in a belief you picked up years ago, and astrology can help you find it.
Wellness tips are everywhere right now, and most of them contradict each other. Amy Sherman sits down with Sean Hoess, founder and CEO of Eudēmonia Summit, for a conversation about what is actually worth trying and what is just noise.
