We’re surrounded by technology every day, but few of us stop to think about how it might be impacting our bodies. From the phone at your bedside to the Wi-Fi running all night, EMFs (electromagnetic fields) could be quietly affecting your hormones, energy, sleep, and even fertility. That’s why I sat down with Dr. Stephanie McCarter, a physician who has spent years studying how our environment shapes our health. She makes this complex topic surprisingly relatable and gives us plenty of reasons to start paying closer attention.

Dr. Stephanie shares some eye-opening stories and statistics, especially around how EMFs may be influencing children and pregnant women. More than just facts and figures, she offers everyday strategies you can easily bring into your own routine. She breaks down easy, practical changes that can lower your exposure without making you feel like you have to unplug from modern life.

What I love about this conversation is hearing Dr. Stephanie’s own journey from traditional medicine into environmental medicine, and how it completely reshaped the way she helps her patients. And if you’re craving even more support for your own energy, hormones, and midlife health, I’d love for you to check out my 10-day masterclass at dranna.com/breeze. It’s an easy, affordable way to hit reset and start feeling like yourself again.

Women’s health is complicated, isn’t it? Between stress, hormones, and all the changes that come with midlife, it can feel like we’re constantly trying to put puzzle pieces together without seeing the full picture. That’s why I loved sitting down with Dr. Margaret Christensen to talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface. She’s sharing a perspective on health, intimacy, and connection that every woman deserves to hear.

Dr. Margaret walked this journey herself. After facing serious health challenges from toxic mold exposure, she shifted from being a traditional OB-GYN to a leader in functional medicine. Now she helps women uncover the root causes of what’s draining their energy, throwing off their hormones, and leaving them feeling disconnected. In our conversation, she opens up about midlife changes, hormone therapy, and how we can reclaim both our vitality and our joy.

What really struck me was how she talks about sexuality and connection, not as something to be hidden or ignored, but as a powerful force for healing. We cover everything from navigating menopause to rekindling intimacy to why relationships are so key for our health. If you’ve ever felt like you’re just pushing through midlife instead of thriving in it, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. And if you’re ready for a little extra support, I’d love to have you in my 10-day Breeze Through Menopause masterclass, just $17 at dranna.com/breeze.
