Women are not little men! Much of today’s research is performed on cohorts of men and applied across the sexes. From whole body to the cellular level, people born with XX chromosomes are physiologically different than those born with XY chromosomes and those differences play out across the lifespan in health and performance.

Dr. Sims discusses the unique aspects of female physiology and how midlife and the rise and fall of estrogen affects our everyday and competitive performance. In her new book, “LEVEL UP” she presents this research in practical and actionable lifestyle interventions means to take advantage our women’s unique physiology and chemistry.

The national conversation surrounding midlife and menopause is exploding...and it’s about time! As menopause experts debunk the frailty of the Women’s Health Initiative study (that removed estrogen therapy from the lives of a generation of women) and teach women the merits of estradiol for treatment and prevention of menopause symptoms and long term health, women who have lived through breast cancer often feel on the outside of the conversation.

Dr Corinne Menn, OG/Gyn, menopause expert and breast cancer survivor joins Dr Vonda Wright to clarify the research surrounding hormone therapy in women previously diagnoses with breast cancer and provides practical advice for how to get the answers you need. Dr Menn every woman deserves to be heard and provided with an individual assessment of her hormone risks and benefits.

Welcome back to HOT for your Health!  In the next episodes Dr Wright is joined by experts to talk about being 40-ish!! and How to make 40 the new 25 only HAPPIER, RICHER, STRONGER & WISER

The 40th birthday is more than a milestone; it’s the beginning of an incredibly crucial decade in almost every aspect of our lives. 

It's time to get our SH-T together.

We don’t want to be 20 again. And we don’t think many of our friends do, either! Instead, we want to apply all that hard-earned wisdom to where we are now – contemplating or enjoying our 40s. Some women start thinking about 40 the day after their 35th birthday. For others it sneaks up, lost among work and family and the chaos of life, until….OMG! Here we are.

In this final episode, celebrating life at 40-ish, Dr Vonda Wright is joined by Dr Latifat Akintade, MD.  In addition to her clinical practice, Dr Akintade is a financial advisor and teaches us about fiscal health and the 4 steps to Financial Freedom.  Money can be one of the biggest stressors in our health and creating a path to financial freedom can serve as a key component of well-being.

Words from Dr. Latifat:  Five years ago, I realized I was broke, overwhelmed, and living paycheck to paycheck. I knew zero about money and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I knew that in order to practice medicine on my terms, I needed to work on my finances. I realized that in order to provide the kind of home and lifestyle we wanted for our kids and build generation wealth, something had to change. By learning the 20% of personal finance that I needed to win 80% of my personal finance, I was able to pay off my student loans within 2 years. After learning and investing in vehicles such as the stock market, diversified real estate investments, we are well on our way to early financial independence.

Dr Mantravadi will touch on how to remove chemical from our environment with specific emphasis on toxins from plastics and her solution to this problem for our families.

Dr. Manasa Mantravadi, a board-certified pediatrician, mom of 3 young kids and an Indian immigrant ... grew up using stainless steel at the dining table.  After making the mistake of buying plastic dinnerware - her mother stepped in concerned about the dangers of plastics. Grandma soon replaced the cupboards with traditional Indian steel dishes. 5 years later, the AAP backed grandma's concerns with science, publishing that certain chemicals can interfere with a child's hormones, growth and development.  Discussing this policy statement with her fellow pediatrician moms, Dr. Mantravadi quickly realized there were no great options for parents. So, Ahimsa was born – a perfect mix of her love for children, background in medicine and Indian heritage.
