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.

In this episode of Wellness Junkies, Amy sits down with returning guest Rachel Johnson, founder of ah.mi, a wellness brand and community supporting busy women through curated, relatable content and quarterly group challenges. It’s a candid catch-up on all things everyday wellness — from what really went down at the latest wellness summits to building a Substack community, morning routines, and showing up for yourself. This one’s packed with real-life inspo (plus a few beauty hacks and workout confessions along the way). We talk about the recent growth of ah.mi and the evolution of its wellness community. Rachel shares how the brand stays grounded in its core mantra: “Greens, water, move, repeat.” The focus? Simple, actionable wellness that feels realistic, not overwhelming. Rachel also opens up about her recent live TV appearance on South Florida Live, and how she overcame her fear of being on camera — a moment that perfectly reflects her belief in doing hard things and showing up anyway. We then swap stories about our recent wellness summit experiences: Rachel attended In Goop Health, while Amy attended the Dear Media Wellness Edit. We compare notes on the panels, brand activations, and the overall vibe of each event — with a shared takeaway on the power of in-person connection and community. Lastly, we trade favorite wellness hacks — from the magic of being early to lower stress, to making movement a non-negotiable, to creative ways to get more protein in. It's real talk about the rituals that work, and how to get back on track when they don’t. Join us for this inspiring and down-to-earth episode on the realities of wellness, the joy of community, and how to keep showing up — even when it’s hard.

We also explore timely topics like the rise of GLP-1 medications and their impact on the industry, along with the importance of pairing them with sustainable lifestyle habits.

He underscores the importance of "owning your morning" and making fitness a non-negotiable priority for overall well-being.

REPLAY - Some of our recent popular episodes to get ready for the new season of Nirvana Sisters... In this episode of the Nirvana Sisters Podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Elizabeth Poyner, a gynecological oncologist and expert in midlife women's health. Dr. Poyner shared her extensive knowledge on the intersection of hormonal health, stress management, and overall well-being for women, particularly during midlife. We kicked off the conversation by discussing our personal "nirvana" moments of the week, highlighting the joy of seasonal changes and family milestones. Dr. Poyner then delved into her journey from specializing in cancer surgery to focusing on midlife women's health, emphasizing the importance of understanding how stress impacts our bodies and the role of hormones in managing that stress. A significant portion of our discussion centered around adrenal fatigue and HPA axis dysregulation, with Dr. Poyner clarifying the differences between adrenal fatigue and adrenal insufficiency. She explained how chronic stress can lead to dysregulated cortisol production, affecting our overall health. We also explored the importance of androgens, particularly testosterone and DHEA, in women's health. Dr. Poyner highlighted the benefits of these hormones for mood, cognitive function, and overall vitality, while also discussing the various methods of hormone delivery, including creams and troches. As we moved into the topic of brain health, Dr. Poyner shared alarming statistics about women's risk of dementia and the protective role of estrogen. She emphasized the importance of starting hormone replacement therapy early in the menopause transition to potentially reduce dementia risk. Finally, we wrapped up the episode with Dr. Poyner's recommendations for supplements that can support midlife health, including vitamin D, omega-3s, and magnesium, and the significance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and community engagement. This episode was packed with valuable insights and practical advice for women navigating midlife health challenges. We hope our listeners find this information empowering as they strive for their own nirvana in health and well-being.
