Sometimes it feels like menopause and peri-menopause have gone from being shameful, or even unknown words to ‘the reason for every issue you have’. Sprained ankle? peri-menopause! Terrified by our current political climate? That’s just ‘menopause brain!’ Dr. Huber and I discuss hormones, body fat changes, and the very real and natural discombobulation (and fear!) we experience living in our body as it ages as well as her gentle-but-strongly-suggested nutritional guidelines to support our bodies as they continue to evolve.

I first heard Sarah Potter as a guest on the podcast Scared All the Time, the absolutely only time you'll catch me listening to two white men talking! I was struck by how easily and accessibly she discussed all manner of what is typically described as 'woo woo'. As someone who believes in what we can’t see as much as what we can, I reached out to have her on Busy Body to discuss the aspects of our lives that are the least explainable. This was a really fun episode (that ends with a live tarot reading!) and Sarah Potter is a true light. Her book, Sober Magic, is out now and she's also doing lots of live events in the NYC area. Don't miss her!

I'm thrilled to have Lauren Fleshman on the pod today (wooo!) Lauren Fleshman is one of the most highly decorated professional runners in the US. She is also an award winning author. Her book, Good For A Girl, was a life changer for me. I had the supreme joy of joining one of her WILDER retreats this fall in the French Alps (!) where she led us as we ran, wrote and surpassed ourselves every day. Today we talk about running, women in sports and the multitude of pressures that come with athletics. I learned so much just in this convo! I hope you do too. Please remember to like, comment, share and subscribe wherever you get your pods - it actually really makes an impact on getting this pod to new listeners! You can buy Lauren's book HERE Connect with her HERE See more of her work and retreats HERE We also referenced Christine Yu, her book Up To Speed, and my conversation with Christine on THIS EPISODE . It's a great conversation on the inequality of sports equipment with a notable story nude cycling in order to best understand saddle needs! Busy Body is now on PATREON!
