In this episode, Mary is joined by Sheri Jay, a specialized life coach who transforms the lives of neurodivergent individuals through her unique blend of neuroscience expertise and lived experience. Drawing from her own journey with brain injury, anxiety, and invisible disability, Sheri has developed innovative coaching methods that help clients embrace their strengths and thrive authentically.

The conversation explores the profound intersection of neurodivergence and menopause, revealing how hormonal changes can unmask previously hidden traits like ADHD and autism in women. Sheri discusses the challenges of late diagnosis, the exhausting process of masking, and how menopause often becomes "the great reveal" when coping mechanisms no longer work. She shares her compassionate approach to navigate this complex landscape with tools that build confidence, overcome imposter syndrome and perfectionism, and create new neural pathways.

Sheri's remarkable journey from high-powered corporate executive to passionate advocate began with a life-changing stroke and brain injury that left her disabled for years. Rather than accepting limitations, she used neuroscience principles to create new neural pathways, eventually founding a coaching practice that serves everyone from athletes to executives. Her story demonstrates the power of resilience and the importance of embracing what makes us uniquely capable.

Join host Mary for the unveiling of a new meditation series, the Goddess Journey Meditation.

Recognizing the impact of stress on menopausal women and the importance of shifting from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system for healing, this series will be featured often alongside the regular guest interviews.

In this introduction to the series, Mary discusses the concept of rewiring the brain through simple breathwork and gratitude practices, inspired by an interview on the Mel Robbins Podcast with the late Dr. Jim Doty, neuroscientist and bestselling author. The episode emphasizes the 'ABCs' of meditation—an exercise where listeners focus on gratitude to promote a calm and rejuvenated mindset.

Whether listeners are new to meditation, returning to the practice, or seasoned practitioners, this series is for everyone. It can be done in the morning for the best results or anytime during the day to escape mental noise and return to the heart zone, where healing and manifesting happen.

In this episode, Mary is joined by Dr. William Davis, cardiologist and New York Times best selling author of Wheat Belly.

The conversations examines how modern wheat and microbiome disruptions influence women's health, from reproductive issues to menopause symptoms. Dr. Davis founder of Infinite Health, shares insights on how genetic changes in wheat, antibiotic use, and environmental toxins contribute to chronic health problems and discusses simple, cost-effective strategies to restore gut and vaginal microbes for optimal health.

Key Points Covered:

• Modern Wheat: Genetic modifications produce peptides that stimulate appetite contributing to obesity, autoimmune diseases, and systemic inflammation. Eliminating wheat, grains, and sugar can improve conditions like endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), while addressing nutrient deficiencies for hormonal balance.
• Microbiome & Women's Health: Disruption from antibiotics and pesticides impacts pregnancy and menopause. Restoring beneficial microbes can reduce symptoms, and support overall well-being.
• Probiotics: Fermenting human microbes creates potent, affordable probiotics to significantly boost gut and vaginal health. DIY probiotic yogurt is an easy solution.
• SIBO & Endotoxemia: Overgrowth of fecal microbes in the small intestine causes systemic inflammation, affecting hormones, weight, and chronic disease risk. Restoring good microbes can eradicate SIBO and reduce toxic effects.
• Holistic Women's Health: Microbial restoration and nutrition are key tools in aging gracefully and preventing disease.

In this episode, host Mary Lee is joined by Dr. Shana Johnston, a family physician with over 25 years experience, to discuss the importance of investing in oneself for personal growth and holistic well-being.

Dr. Johnston has a vast medical background practicing in diverse settings, from rural towns to urban hospitals. Her journey has always been driven by a passion for holistic health and healing, blending traditional medicine with innovative, outside-the-box approaches. After years in a high-pressure, volume-based system, she experienced burnout and took time to prioritize her own health, which inspired her to focus on supporting women wisely through life's many transitions.

The conversation explores societal stigma surrounding menopause and the limitations of the current healthcare system in effectively serving women. Dr. Johnston shares her own transition from family medicine to building community-based support for women, emphasizing holistic approaches particularly around nurturing energy and well-being.

Today, Dr. Johnston is developing programs to empower women to embrace their most authentic selves. She created "Connecting in Community" and its online counterpart, "Reclaiming Our Power, Reclaiming Ourselves," which foster healing and connection. After navigating her own challenging menopause experience, she developed "Coming Home to Ourselves at Midlife" and launched the group medical visit "Menopause, Let’s Talk About It."
