  • Is It ADHD or Perimenopause? | Coach Debbie White on why symptoms surface at midlife

    Is It ADHD or Perimenopause? | Coach Debbie White on why symptoms surface at midlife
    Jul 8 2026
    Is it perimenopause, or ADHD that's been there all along? Executive function coach Debbie White — diagnosed with ADHD at midlife herself — joins Stacy London to explain why the two look so similar and how to tell them apart. Debbie's core insight: perimenopause doesn't cause ADHD, it reveals it. ADHD is a lifelong neurobiological condition, but inconsistent estrogen can break the systems that kept it manageable for decades — and because it's lifelong, postmenopausal women navigate it too. She shares the strategies that work: the one-notepad rule, "eat the frog," planning ahead, and the power of the pause. This is a Summer Short.

  • The Risk Factor Nobody's Talking About: Menopause, Estrogen, and the Heart Disease Epidemic in Women

    The Risk Factor Nobody's Talking About: Menopause, Estrogen, and the Heart Disease Epidemic in Women
    Jun 24 2026
    Cardiologist Dr. Jayne Morgan has a message that cuts through the noise: menopause is not a gynecological footnote. It's a cardiovascular inflection point — and most women don't find out until it's too late.In this episode, Dr. Morgan and Stacy cover the full arc of women's cardiovascular health: why complicated pregnancies are early warning signs, what happens to blood pressure at age 51, how every perimenopausal symptom signals estrogen loss and rising cardiac risk, and why perimenopause is actually your best window to intervene. They also discuss the racial disparity in symptom severity, the limits and promises of AI in women's health, and why the case for estrogen doesn't require the studies we don't have. Dr. Jayne Morgan is a Cardiologist and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart, specializing in women’s health, particularly AI and digital heart health technology, and cardiovascular research.

  • Beyond Estrogen: Testosterone, longevity, and the science of what comes next: Susan Dominus, New York Times (part 2)

    Beyond Estrogen: Testosterone, longevity, and the science of what comes next: Susan Dominus, New York Times (part 2)
    Jun 17 2026
    Stacy and NYT journalist Susan Dominus pick up where Part 1 left off — this time going deep on the hormone that's barely made it into the mainstream menopause conversation: testosterone. Susan, who recently reported an in-depth piece on testosterone for women, breaks down what the research actually shows, why the US is so far behind other countries, and what happens when women go far beyond the studied dose. They get into the delivery problem — why there's no FDA-approved option for women yet, the proposal for a testosterone pill, the risks and side effects at high doses, and how telehealth is filling the gap with varying degrees of rigor.From there, the conversation expands: GLP-1s and their surprising reach beyond weight loss, what longevity researchers actually say is the number one predictor of a longer life, and a fascinating new field called cellular rejuvenation that may one day reverse aging at the cellular level.

  • The Menopause Information Gap: Susan Dominus, New York Times

    The Menopause Information Gap: Susan Dominus, New York Times
    Jun 10 2026
    The NYT journalist who broke open the menopause conversation — on hormones, risk, and what we're still learning. Susan Dominus wrote what many call the defining article of the modern menopause conversation. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, she and Stacy go deep: the cultural bias baked into "significant symptoms," how to actually think about hormone therapy risk, and why women spent 20 years without real answers. Susan Dominus is a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine. Her 2022 piece "Women Have Been Misled About Menopause" sparked a nationwide conversation about hormone therapy, medical bias, and the cost of what we don't know.

    Women Are Not Small Men: Dr. Stacy Sims on Exercise, Nutrition, and Menopause
    Jun 3 2026
    Everything you've been told about exercise and nutrition was probably based on male physiology. For women in perimenopause and menopause, that gap is costing us. Stacy talks with Dr. Stacy Sims — exercise physiologist and leading researcher in female-specific science — about why women lose power before muscle, how the gut microbiome shifts in the four years before menopause, why fasting past noon disrupts your hormones, what to do if you're on a GLP-1, and how to build bone density, brain health, and confidence through movement.

  • Pay Now or Pay Later: Fixing Menopause in the Workplace | Kacy Fleming

    Pay Now or Pay Later: Fixing Menopause in the Workplace | Kacy Fleming
    May 27 2026
    What does menopause cost you at work — and what is it costing your employer? Stacy talks with Kacy Fleming, organizational psychologist and founder of The Fuchsia Tent, about the staggering data behind menopause and the workplace, and the practical framework that can actually fix it. They get into why menopause is invisible in corporate data, the 10% earnings penalty for symptomatic women, and why midlife women — not AI — are the real future of the workforce. Plus: Kacy's own perimenopause story, the confidence crisis so many of us recognize, and why she believes this doesn't have to be as hard or as expensive as everyone thinks.

  • Reckoning to Renaissance: Embracing Your True Identity in Midlife | Vanessa Chamberlin

    Reckoning to Renaissance: Embracing Your True Identity in Midlife | Vanessa Chamberlin
    May 20 2026
    What does it really mean to let go of what no longer serves you? For Vanessa Chamberlin, founder of the Silver Liberation movement, it started with a decision to stop dyeing her hair — and ended up reshaping everything she believed about beauty, aging, and worthiness. Stacy and Vanessa dig into the intersection of gray hair and menopause, the shame so many women carry about their appearance in midlife, and why radical self-acceptance is less a beauty choice and more a complete belief system overhaul. In this episode: the lovability trap, the slow grow-out method, the difference between liberation and anger, and why self-care at this stage is non-negotiable.
