  • Clear Out Microplastics with Winnow! with Dr. Matthew Dunn
    Jan 20 2026

    In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're tackling one of the most concerning threats to fertility and health in our modern world: microplastics.

    Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Matthew Dunn, molecular biologist and CEO of Clean Body Biotics, who's developed a groundbreaking solution to help our bodies clear microplastics through the gut. With microplastics now found in follicular fluid, seminal fluid, amniotic fluid, placenta, and throughout our bodies, this conversation offers hope and actionable solutions.

    Dr. Dunn shares the science behind Winnow—a probiotic designed to bind and escort microplastics out of the body using nature's own "biological glue." What makes this even more compelling? It's not just another supplement to add to your routine—it's a replacement probiotic that supports gut health while actively protecting you from plastic pollution.

    Dr. Dunn explains how 60% of microplastics enter through our food and water, how certain bacteria can stick to plastics and remove them through digestion, and why consistent daily protection matters more than occasional detox efforts. He also reveals the research connecting microplastics to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), reduced sperm quality, and compromised egg health.

    Listen to this episode if you are trying to conceive or you are supporting fertility, if you are a woman planning egg freezing or IVF cycles, if you are a parent concerned about children's toxic load, if you are a health professional wanting evidence-based solutions for patients, or anyone seeking health sovereignty in an increasingly polluted world.

  • Millennial Menopause: What You Can Do Now with Lauren Tetenbaum
    Jan 13 2026

    In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're crossing the bridge from fertility into the next phase of womanhood—preparing for perimenopause while you still have time to make a difference.

    Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Lauren Tetenbaum, author of "Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life's Next Period." Lauren is a lawyer, turned licensed clinical social worker and perinatal mental health certified therapist who realized—after years of education and clinical experience—that she knew nothing about menopause. When she attended a networking event where every older woman said "I wish I had been warned," Lauren walked out with a mission: to tell her generation to be proactive.

    This conversation is revolutionary because Lauren represents a generation saying "not on my watch." Millennials are uniquely positioned—straddling fertility, pregnancy, and the perimenopause transition, often having children in their late 30s and early 40s when perimenopause symptoms begin. Many don't know it, and when they raise the issue with their doctors, are told that if they are having regular menstrual cycles, they aren’t in perimenopause.

    In this essential episode, you'll discover why perimenopause symptoms often start in your late 30s and are frequently mood-related, why you don't need to meet criteria for major depression to get help, the truth about the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study that left an entire generation without hormone therapy support, why aging is nothing to fear and help is available, and how society's ageism and sexism have made menopause a term people fear.

    Lauren shares her personal adjustments—strength training at 40 for bone and cognitive health, sleep hygiene practices that actually work, and why a quick workout beats another cup of coffee when you're exhausted.

    This episode is for women in their late 30s and 40s experiencing unexplained mood changes, anyone told they're "too young" for perimenopause or it's "just postpartum," women wanting to prepare for a healthy natural transition, their, partners and loved ones who want to understand and support, and healthcare providers who need updated education on menopause care.

  • Women's Health is Women's Wealth with Nancy Griffin
    Jan 5 2026

    In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring the critical connection between women's health and wealth—and why your worthiness matters in both.

    Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Nancy Griffin, a private client wealth advisor and creator of Women, Worth and Wellness. Nancy shares her deeply personal journey through infertility while climbing the corporate ladder at Procter & Gamble in the 1970s—a time when being a mother meant being passed over for international assignments, and fertility struggles had to be hidden like a "perceived weakness."

    Nancy's story is one of transformation: from 18 years in corporate America as one of the first female managers, through fertility treatments she kept secret to protect her career, to leaving it all behind after realizing "I can't create a life, but perhaps I can save a life." This pivot led her into community leadership, then ultimately into wealth management—where she discovered she could make the most significant impact on women's lives.

    In this powerful conversation, Nancy introduces the concept of the "Age of Integrity"—a new attitude in which women step into the driver's seat of their lives. She explains that health is wealth, that your worth is your worthiness, and why women should demand the care they deserve.

    This episode is essential for women navigating fertility challenges while managing careers, anyone struggling with worthiness during family-building journeys, women planning for their financial and health futures, professionals wanting to support female clients holistically, and anyone ready to prioritize themselves.
