    Ep. 173 - Cravings, Hunger, H-angry and Our Changing Food Needs at Menopause with Lisa Kilgour
    Jun 3 2025
    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by Lisa Kilgour—Registered Holistic Nutritionist, TEDx speaker, and author of Undieting: Freedom from the Bewildering World of Fad Diets—for a compassionate and eye-opening conversation about the gut-brain connection and why most diets are set up to fail, especially for women in midlife. Lisa shares her personal health journey, from musician to holistic nutritionist, and unpacks the deep relationship between our gut, brain, and emotional well-being. Together, she and Dr. Lovely explore why bioindividuality matters, what cravings are actually telling us, and how to rebuild trust with our bodies after years of diet culture messaging. You’ll also hear a powerful discussion about the societal pressure on women to be thin, how diet culture often disguises female obedience, and why real health means strength, not shrinking. Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why diets fail: your body isn’t broken, just bioindividual What cravings really mean—and why they’re not a weakness The truth about protein needs and why 150g/day isn’t for everyone How carbs support hormones, sleep, and energy in midlife The deeper harm of diet culture and why strength matters more than thinness You can find more about Lisa Kilgour at lisakilgour.com.

  • Ep. 172 - Confused About Protein? Clearing Up Protein Optimization with Angelo Keely

    Ep. 172 - Confused About Protein? Clearing Up Protein Optimization with Angelo Keely
    May 27 2025

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology, and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women’s health around perimenopause and menopause.

    In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Angelo Keely, nutrition and protein optimization enthusiast. Together, they dive into the powerful, science-backed role of protein and amino acids in supporting women’s health—especially in midlife and beyond.

    Angelo unpacks why protein needs actually increase with age, particularly for women going through menopause. From fighting muscle loss (sarcopenia) to supporting bone health, metabolism, and mood, getting enough high-quality protein is essential—but often overlooked.

    You’ll learn smart strategies to meet your protein goals without overeating, the key differences between protein powders and essential amino acids (EAAs), and how targeted supplements like creatine and EAAs can dramatically boost muscle and cognitive health—even without intense workouts.

    They also address the risks of rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Zepbound), and how pairing these with resistance training and amino acid support can help preserve lean mass and vitality.

    Topics We Cover in This Episode:

    • Why women over 40 need more protein, not less

    • How sarcopenia sneaks in—and how to stop it

    • High-protein food tips: egg whites, Greek yogurt, lean meats & more

    • EAAs vs. protein powder: what your body really absorbs

    • NASA studies, amino acids & maintaining muscle without exercise

    • Creatine for women: not just for gym bros

    • GLP-1s & supporting strong muscles when taking it

    • Simple, sustainable tips for strong, energized aging

    “Breathe. Be patient. Trust the process.” – Angelo Keely

  • Ep. 171 - The Vagina Coach, Kim Vopni talks Pelvic Floor and Menopause

    Ep. 171 - The Vagina Coach, Kim Vopni talks Pelvic Floor and Menopause
    May 20 2025
    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology, and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women’s health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Kim Vopni, certified fitness professional, menopause support practitioner, and founder of The Buff Muff Method, for a refreshingly candid conversation about pelvic floor health—the topic no one talks about but every woman needs to know. Known as The Vagina Coach, Kim shares how an eye-opening moment in sixth grade sparked her passion for pelvic wellness, leading to a global mission to educate women on the foundation of core strength, sexual function, and continence. Forget the outdated “just do Kegels” advice. Kim explains why pelvic floor training should be holistic and dynamic—connecting breath, posture, and real-life movement. She and Dr. Lovely also dive into the challenges of prolapse, incontinence, pelvic pain, and how menopause magnifies these issues. Most importantly, they discuss effective, non-surgical solutions and why pelvic floor physiotherapy should be routine care for women everywhere. What You’ll Hear: Kim’s journey to becoming The Vagina Coach Why “tight” isn’t the goal—rethinking pelvic floor strength Pelvic dysfunction: common but fixable The Buff Muff Method: beyond basic Kegels How menopause affects your pelvic health Non-surgical solutions (PT, pessaries & more) Why pelvic health deserves mainstream attention You can find more about Kim Vopni at www.vaginacoach.com, explore her Buff Muff Method at www.buffmuff.com, and follow her on Instagram @vaginacoach.
