Why Women's Brain Health Is at Risk in Midlife (and What You Can Do Now) with Emma Heming-Willis & Helen Christoni

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni for an honest conversation about women's brain health, dementia risk, emotional overload, and the profound changes women experience in midlife. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer's disease, yet most are never taught how menopause, estrogen decline, chronic stress, caregiving, and emotional suppression impact the female brain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, why brain changes can begin decades before diagnosis, and why midlife is a critical window for awareness and prevention, not fear. We also explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as irritability, withdrawal, resentment, or burnout, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in their 40s and 50s, and how telling the truth, emotionally and relationally, becomes essential for both brain and body health.

HRT, Hormones, and Midlife: What Every Woman Needs to Know Before Deciding with Dr. Mindy Pelz

Hormone Replacement Therapy is back in the spotlight, and many women are asking the same questions: Is it safe? Is it right for me? And why does it still feel so confusing? In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down what really happened after the Women's Health Initiative study, why the black box warning was added and later removed, and what newer research has clarified about HRT, timing, hormone type, and delivery method. She explains why lifestyle and metabolic health are the missing pieces in this conversation and why HRT should never be viewed as a standalone solution. This episode is not about telling you yes or no. It's about helping you understand the science so you can make an empowered, informed decision with your doctor.

What Really Happens When You Don't Eat for 72 Hours with Dr. Mindy Pelz

What actually happens inside your body when you don't eat for 72 hours? Fasting for three days has become one of the most talked-about healing tools — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. Some people believe it's dangerous. Others think it's a quick fix. The truth lives somewhere in between. In this solo episode, I walk you step-by-step through what happens in the body during a 72-hour fast, from blood sugar shifts and ketone production to autophagy, inflammation reduction, immune system renewal, and brain healing. This episode is designed to educate, not pressure. We'll talk about who should and should not attempt a longer fast, why preparation matters, how women should approach fasting differently than men, and how to use fasting as a powerful reset. This episode also serves as a foundational resource for our upcoming FREE 3-Day Water Fast with Hay House, starting January 5, 2026.

Big Wellness, Quick Fixes & How to Stop Being Sold to in Midlife

Big Wellness is booming and middle-aged women are the target. In this solo episode of The Resetter Podcast, I break down why the wellness industry has exploded, why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to being sold quick fixes, and how to stop outsourcing your health to supplements, influencers, and viral advice. After reading a New York Times article titled "Big Wellness Loves Middle-Aged Women," I wanted to give you a framework for thinking critically about what you're being sold, whether it's a supplement, a biohack, or even a medication. This episode is not about telling you what to buy or what to believe. It's about teaching you how to think for yourself, how to prioritize lifestyle first, how to evaluate quality and integrity, why supplements should be cycled, and why no product is ever going to replace the fundamentals. At the end of the day, your lifestyle saves you, not a 90-second reel.
