  • The Truth About IVF: What Doctors Don’t Tell You
    Feb 4 2026

    Fertility and IVF are topics many women only start to understand when they are already in the middle of the journey. In this episode of The Gayu Lewis Podcast, we open up an honest, informative, and empowering conversation about IVF, fertility, and reproductive health.

    Joined by Dr. Parth Das, Fertility Specialist at Orchid Fertility Clinic, and Cassie Destino, Founder of IVF Support UAE, we explore what is really happening in modern fertility. From understanding how age, hormones, lifestyle, and male fertility impact conception, to what IVF actually involves, this episode breaks down the science in a way that is clear, calm, and easy to understand.

    We talk about the questions women and couples are actively searching for online:

    • When should you see a fertility specialist?
    • How does age affect fertility and IVF success?
    • What do AMH, FSH, and egg reserve really mean?
    • What happens during an IVF cycle step by step?
    • Which IVF add-ons are evidence-based and which are unnecessary?
    • What lifestyle changes can genuinely improve fertility outcomes?
    • How do you cope emotionally with waiting, uncertainty, and failed cycles?
    • What are the current IVF and egg-freezing rules in the UAE?
    • What does pregnancy look like after IVF in your late 30s or 40s?

    Cassie shares lived experience from her own IVF journey and the realities women face emotionally, while Dr. Parth brings medical clarity and perspective grounded in clinical practice. Together, this conversation bridges science, emotional wellbeing, and real-world support.

    This episode is for you if you are:

    • Trying to conceive
    • Considering IVF
    • Going through IVF
    • Supporting a partner or loved one
    • Or simply wanting to understand women’s reproductive health better

  • How to Reduce Financial Stress and Feel More in Control in 2026
    Jan 21 2026

    Financial stress is one of the biggest sources of anxiety for women, yet it is rarely discussed openly. As we step into 2026, many women are looking for clarity, confidence, and a smarter way to manage their money without feeling overwhelmed.

    In this episode of The Gayu Lewis Podcast, we explore how to reduce financial stress and feel more in control of your money in 2026. This is not about strict budgeting or financial pressure. It is about understanding your numbers, building financial confidence, and creating a plan that supports your wellbeing.

    I am joined by Beth Clay, a finance coach who helps women move from fear and avoidance around money to clarity and calm. Together, we discuss why women experience money stress differently, how financial anxiety impacts mental and physical health, and the practical steps you can take to feel financially lighter in the year ahead.

    In this conversation, we cover:
    • How to reduce financial stress and anxiety
    • Financial planning for women in 2026
    • The key money numbers every woman should know
    • Building financial confidence and healthy money habits
    • How to feel more in control of your finances

    This episode is part of The F Coach philosophy, where wellness includes food, fitness, faith, fun and finance. Because financial clarity is not just about money. It is about peace of mind.

  • The Celeb Body Myth: Best Workout for Women in Midlife
    Jan 7 2026

    Have you ever wanted a body like JLo’s — but wondered what actually works for your body, hormones, and stage of life?

    At the start of every year, women commit to new workout plans. But many women over 40 quickly realise their workouts aren’t working the way they used to. Weight gain, low energy, stubborn belly fat, and burnout become common — especially during perimenopause and menopause.

    In this episode, I’m joined by celebrity fitness trainer Jay Cardiello and breathwork and meditation coach Raj Trivedi to break down the celeb body myth and talk about the best workout for women in midlife.

    Jay has trained global icons like Jennifer Lopez, 50 Cent, and Sofia Vergara. Raj works with athletes and high performers using breathwork and mindset to improve focus, recovery, and resilience. Together, they share what actually matters for strength training for women, stress management, and sustainable fitness after 40.

    This conversation isn’t about copying celebrity workouts.
    It’s about understanding how women should really train in midlife.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Best workouts for women over 40
    • Strength training vs cardio in midlife
    • Workout mistakes women make in perimenopause and menopause
    • Why workouts stop working as hormones change
    • How stress and mindset affect weight loss and energy
    • How breathwork supports recovery, sleep, and consistency

    If you’re searching for answers around midlife workouts, women’s strength training, exercise during perimenopause or menopause, or why weight gain happens despite working out, this episode is for you.
