Women may spend over a decade of their lives experiencing symptoms around menopause transition, while just over 10% of women’s healthcare professionals feel comfortable treating menopause. The conversation around menopause has evolved beyond hot flashes and night sweats to include how hormonal changes affect bone, brain, mood, heart and mental health. Midlife women can feel like they are drowning in symptoms. Many of them are not well served by health care providers who haven’t updated their knowledge on hormones since the WHI 20 years ago and influencers who are peddling potions and lotions which may not be effective. Menopause Rescue is here to give you a hand up. I’m a board certified gynecologist with certification in menopausal medicine as well as functional medicine. My goal is to revolutionize the menopause dialogue, using the transition as a spark to ignite health promotion. Secondly, we will discuss solutions for low libido, weight gain, mood changes, brain fog, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia and sexual pain and dive into the nuances of each topic, empowering women to determine what is uniquely relevant for them. This podcast is for women who are curious about their health and curate a mindset around menopause as an opportunity for growth. Many of us at this time in our lives are at a high point in our relationships and our careers. We know ourselves and know how to create boundaries and have defined our values in a way that we simply didn’t have the wisdom to do in our 20 and 30s. Women in their 40s and 50s are at the perfect moment to take up some space in their lives and step into this transition with strength. Every other week we will gather to review topics that are relevant to menopause and take you behind the scenes with hormone specialists to help you cull and decipher health recommendations to find your unique solution.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

  • Midlife Mojo: Building Strength, Boundaries & Balance After 40

    Midlife Mojo: Building Strength, Boundaries & Balance After 40
    Aug 8 2025

    Dr. Polly Watson sits down with Dr. Terri Peña, a board-certified physician and functional medicine expert, to explore how women can reclaim their health and energy in midlife and beyond. Dr. Peña introduces her 4M Method - Metrics, Metabolism, Muscle, and Mojo - a framework that empowers women to move from feeling dismissed and depleted to strong, vital, and confident. They discuss why traditional medicine often fails midlife women, how to get real answers when labs look “normal” but you still feel off, and why building muscle is essential for longevity. Plus, Dr. Peña shares powerful nervous system tools like box breathing to help regulate stress, and talks about how knowing your energy and action style can improve self-care and healthcare outcomes.

  • Perimenopause Fatigue: Energize and Feel Like Yourself Again

    Perimenopause Fatigue: Energize and Feel Like Yourself Again
    Jul 25 2025

    In this episode, Dr. Polly Watson is joined by functional medicine nurse practitioner Kate Willis to unpack the real reasons behind perimenopausal fatigue. Together, they explore how hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, and chronic stress all converge to drain energy during midlife. Rather than accepting fatigue as “just part of aging,” Dr. Watson and Kate take a root-cause, whole-body approach. They discuss actionable strategies - from hormone testing and mitochondrial support to building muscle and managing stress - that help women reclaim their energy and vitality. Whether you're struggling with brain fog, burnout, or broken sleep, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a clear roadmap to feel like yourself again.

    Quotes

    • "Fatigue is one of the top complaints we hear from women in perimenopause - you’re not alone, and it’s not just in your head." - Kate Willis NP-C
    • "I remember putting on that estrogen patch and two days later thinking, 'She’s back.' It was like flipping a switch." - Dr. Polly Watson
    • "Listening to women is key - not just checking boxes or writing prescriptions. We have to ask what’s really going on beneath the fatigue." - Kate Willis NP-C

    Jul 11 2025

    In this episode, Dr. Polly Watson welcomes integrative cardiologist and functional medicine expert Dr. Regina Druz for an eye-opening conversation about the often overlooked intersection of heart health and menopause. Together, they unpack how hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause can cause unexpected changes in cholesterol, blood pressure, fat distribution and heart rhythm. Dr. Druz explains why traditional risk calculators often miss the mark for women, what new markers like ApoB and Lp(a) really tell us, and how wearable tech and advanced imaging can offer deeper insights. Whether you're already tracking your health closely or just starting to ask questions, this episode will give you the tools to take charge of your cardiovascular future and advocate for the care you deserve.
