What If Your Hormones Aren't The Problem with Whitney Erwin

What If Your Hormones Aren't The Problem with Whitney Erwin

In this deeply insightful episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by holistic women's health practitioner Whitney Erwin for a conversation that invites us to completely rethink how we understand women's health, hormones, and healing. Rather than viewing symptoms as problems to suppress, Whitney introduces a more holistic perspective through the wisdom of Ayurveda and herbal medicine—one that asks a different question: What is your body trying to tell you? Together, we explore why so many women have been conditioned to believe that painful periods, PMS, infertility, exhaustion, anxiety, and menopausal symptoms are simply something they have to live with. Whitney explains how ancient healing systems have understood for thousands of years what modern healthcare is only beginning to recognise—that every woman is unique, health is deeply interconnected, and true healing comes from addressing the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that menopause isn't simply a hormonal event—it's part of a much bigger story about learning to reconnect with ourselves, trust our bodies, and embrace the wisdom that comes with every season of womanhood. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: ttps://www.fourseasonsharmony.com/ https://www.instagram.com/whitney_fourseasonsharmony/ https://www.youtube.com/@WhitneyErwinFourSeasonsHarmony https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-l-erwin-a91230171/ https://www.facebook.com/fourseasonsharmony/ ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share [https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share] 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]

Why Midlife Women Need Muscle, Not Diets with Terry Tateossian

In this empowering and refreshingly honest episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by strength and nutrition coach Terry Tateossian for a conversation that challenges many of the fear-based narratives women hear about perimenopause and menopause. Terry shares her personal journey through midlife — from struggling with weight gain, exhaustion, anxiety, and hormonal changes to completely transforming her health through strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle shifts. Together, we explore why so many women are approaching menopause already depleted, under-muscled, over-stressed, and undernourished — and why the old advice of "eat less and do more cardio" is failing women. We dive into the power of resistance training, protein, sleep, nervous system regulation, and sustainable habits, while also unpacking the growing conversations around HRT and GLP-1 medications. This episode reframes menopause not as the end of vitality but as an opportunity for strength, freedom, confidence, and reinvention. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.instagram.com/how.good.can.it.get/ https://www.thehouseofrose.com/ ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share [https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share] 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]

What European Women Know About Aging That We Don't with Tally Eliyahni

In this fascinating and deeply reflective episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Tally Elhyani for a conversation about midlife, motherhood, identity, and the radically different way many European women approach aging and menopause. Drawing on her multi-cultural life experiences and living in Italy for over 20 years, Tally shares how European women often view midlife not as a decline — but as a reinvention. Together, we explore the cultural differences that shape women's experiences of aging, beauty, motherhood, work, and purpose, and why so many women in modern society are feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and unsupported. We also unpack the importance of community, feminine leadership, and rediscovering yourself after years of caregiving and putting everyone else first. This episode is a refreshing and empowering cultural reframe of midlife not as an ending, but as the beginning of a wiser, more intentional chapter. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tallyre/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tallyre/] https://www.facebook.com/talbassali/ [https://www.facebook.com/talbassali/] ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]

What's Actually Happening to Women's Brains in Midlife with Dr. Alex Grunsfeld

In this fascinating and myth-busting episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by neurologist Dr. Alex Grunsfeld for a powerful conversation about brain health, metabolism, stress, and what's really happening to women during perimenopause and menopause. Together, we challenge the increasingly narrow conversation around menopause and cognition, particularly the idea that estrogen alone determines brain health. Instead, we explore the much bigger picture: metabolic health, inflammation, insulin resistance, chronic stress, movement, nutrition, and the way modern lifestyles are fundamentally impacting women's brains and bodies. Dr. Grunsfeld explains how chronic inflammation and high cortisol levels contribute to brain fog, anxiety, cognitive decline, and fatigue, while also unpacking the role of ketones, metabolic flexibility, and the ketogenic diet in supporting neurological health. We also dive into the powerful influence of the nocebo effect and how fear-based menopause narratives may actually shape women's experiences more than we realise. This episode is a profound, myth busting reminder that women's brains are not "breaking" in midlife but rather they need a different kind of support.

Your Symptoms are Telling You Something, Are you Listening? with Kristin Sitek

In this deeply thought-provoking episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Kristin Sitek for a conversation that challenges the way we think about women's health, menopause, healing, and the body itself. Kristin combines functional health with energetic healing, exploring how unresolved emotions, stress, trauma, and disconnection from self can manifest physically — particularly through the gut, hormones, nervous system, and chronic symptoms so many women experience in midlife. Together, we unpack why so many women are searching for quick fixes while ignoring the deeper messages their bodies may be trying to communicate. We explore menopause as more than a hormonal event — but as a profound invitation into self-awareness, boundaries, healing, and transformation. This episode is expansive, holistic, and deeply empowering. It asks women to stop seeing their bodies as broken — and start listening to what their symptoms may actually be revealing. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.instagram.com/kristin.sitek/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinsitek/ https://www.facebook.com/kristin.sitek https://www.kristinsitek.com/gut-health [https://www.kristinsitek.com/gut-health] ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]
