Premenopause: What No One Told Us (But Should Have) | Dr. Lisa Dickinson & Dr. Meghan Bennett

Premenopause doesn’t start in your 40s. It starts the day you get your first period. In this episode, Danielle sits down with naturopathic doctors Dr. Lisa Dickinson and Dr. Meghan Bennett from Amber Wellness Group to break down what premenopause really is — and why most women completely misunderstand it. We cover: • What premenopause actually means • The difference between premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause • How hormones shift over decades • Cycle literacy and long-term health • Mood, metabolism, and inflammation • Natural tools to support your body through every phase This is the women’s health class we should have gotten years ago. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, understanding premenopause changes how you see your body — and how you care for it. — 👩‍⚕️ Guests: Dr. Lisa Dickinson Dr. Meghan Bennett Amber Wellness Group https://amberwellnessgroup.com [https://amberwellnessgroup.com] Instagram: @amberwellnessgroup — Follow Healthy Kitty Club for weekly conversations about pelvic health, perimenopause, hysterectomy recovery, and hormone education.

Pelvic Floor Therapy for Men: What No One Talks About | Dr. Lindsay Dirringer

Yes — men have pelvic floors too. In this episode, Danielle sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Lindsay Dirringer of Bottoms Up! Physical Therapy to explore why the men in our lives may need pelvic floor therapy — and how we can support them. We discuss: • What the male pelvic floor actually does • Urinary leakage in men • Erectile dysfunction and pelvic health • Post-prostate surgery recovery • Core stability and performance • Chronic pelvic pain in men • Why so many men avoid treatment • How partners can support the conversation Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum women. It’s for humans. If you have a partner, brother, father, or son — this episode matters. — 👩‍⚕️ Guest: Dr. Lindsay Dirringer Bottoms Up!

The Throne of Tingles: My First Ride on the Emsella Chair

In this episode, Danielle shares her very first experience riding the Emsella Chair — also known as the “throne of tingles” — at Natural Family Health Clinic in Beaverton, Oregon with Dr. Keliiheleua, ND. This vlog-style episode was recorded before her hysterectomy, and now — post-surgery — the importance of pelvic floor recovery hits even harder. We break down: • How one 28-minute Emsella session equals approximately 11,000 Kegels • How high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology builds pelvic floor strength • Why you don’t have to undress • How it improves bladder control • Core stability benefits • Sexual wellness support • Why men benefit too This is non-invasive pelvic floor strengthening without traditional exercise — and yes, it feels wild the first time. Pelvic floor recovery is not optional after childbirth, hormone shifts, or hysterectomy. It’s foundational. — 👩‍⚕️ Huge shoutout to: Dr. Keliiheleua, ND Natural Family Health Clinic Beaverton, Oregon Instagram: @naturalfamilyhealthclinic — 💖 Support Healthy Kitty Club’s Women’s Health & Wellness Center: https://gofund.me/ddff9921 [https://gofund.me/ddff9921] Follow Healthy Kitty Club for conversations on pelvic health, perimenopause, hysterectomy recovery, and women’s mental health.

Deep Diving Perimenopause: What’s Happening to Your Body? | Dr. Lisa Dickinson & Dr. Meghan Bennett

Welcome back to Healthy Kitty Club. In this episode, Danielle sits down again with pelvic health experts Dr. Lisa Dickinson and Dr. Meghan Bennett to take a deep dive into perimenopause — the hormonal phase no one properly prepares women for. If you’ve been feeling “off,” anxious, ragey, exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or just not like yourself — this conversation connects the dots. We discuss: • What perimenopause actually is • When it typically starts • Hormone fluctuations and nervous system changes • Anxiety and mood shifts • Sleep disruption • Brain fog and fatigue • Weight redistribution • Pelvic floor changes during perimenopause • When to seek support • Therapy, lifestyle shifts, and practical solutions Perimenopause is not a personality flaw. It’s a biological transition. And women deserve education about it. — 👩‍⚕️ Guests: Dr. Lisa Dickinson Dr. Meghan Bennett Amber Wellness Group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberwellnessgroup/ [https://www.instagram.com/amberwellnessgroup/] — 📲 Follow Healthy Kitty Club Instagram.com/HealthyKittyClub [http://Instagram.com/HealthyKittyClub] TikTok.com/HealthyKittyClub [http://TikTok.com/HealthyKittyClub] Have questions about perimenopause?
