    83. Summer Skin Survival Guide: What You Need To Know with Dr. Lisa Kellett
    Apr 9 2026

    Your sunscreen is probably not working as well as you think it is. And that sun damage you've been accumulating? There is actually a lot you can do about it.

    Canada's leading dermatologist Dr. Lisa Kellett is back on Aging Powerfully — and this time we are talking spring and summer skin. Everything you need to know before the heat hits, and everything you can do if the damage is already done.

    In this episode we cover how the skin actually changes when the seasons shift — and why that shift is more significant for women in perimenopause and menopause than most of us realize. We get into the sunscreen conversation properly: SPF numbers, mineral versus chemical, how much we should actually be applying versus how much most of us use, and the spots we consistently miss. We talk about building a spring and summer routine that works — retinol, Vitamin C, exfoliants, and what to do with them when the sun gets intense.

    Dr. Kellett walks us through what pollution and years of sun exposure are quietly doing to our skin, how to recognize when something needs medical attention, and what treatments are genuinely worth investing in at 40-plus — from lasers and microneedling to radiofrequency, chemical peels, and injectables. We also talk about what lifestyle factors — sleep, stress, alcohol, diet — are showing up on your face whether you like it or not.

    This is the episode you save, share with your friends, and listen to before you buy another SPF product.

  • 82. Is Menopause Brain Fog Real? 25 Myths Busted with Dr. Pauline Maki

    82. Is Menopause Brain Fog Real? 25 Myths Busted with Dr. Pauline Maki
    Apr 2 2026

    Brain fog. Word-finding trouble. Walking into a room and having no idea why. If you're in perimenopause or menopause, you know the feeling — and you've probably wondered: is this real, is it permanent, and should I be worried?

    In this latest episode, Melissa speaks with one of the world's leading researchers on menopause and the brain, Dr. Pauline Maki — Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Obstetrics and Gynecology — to separate myth from medicine and bust 25 menopause brain myths wide open.

    We cover what's actually happening inside your brain during the transition, why estrogen matters far beyond your reproductive system, and whether what you're experiencing is permanent damage or something far more temporary. We get into hot flashes as a neurological signal, the hormone therapy confusion that has scared women away from care for decades, and what the science actually says about dementia risk.

    We close on what you can do right now — and how to reframe this entire transition as something other than loss.

    Menopause is not a cognitive collapse. It is a neurological transition. And you deserve accurate information, not fear.
