BETTER! with Dr. Stephanie Estima | Strength, Body Composition & Perimenopause: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Dr. Stephanie Estima, Perimenopause & Women's Fitness Expert
Most women are told that feeling exhausted, gaining weight, losing muscle, and watching their body change after 40 is just what happens. Dr. Stephanie Estima is here to tell you that's the wrong map. BETTER is the podcast for women in perimenopause and menopause who want to build real strength, understand their hormones, and take body composition seriously — without the diet culture nonsense and without the fear. Dr. Stephanie is a chiropractor, brain health expert, and one of the few voices in the menopause space who leads with fitness, muscle, and what your body is actually capable of. Each week she brings the world's leading researchers, clinicians, and practitioners into conversation — then translates the science into something you can use on Monday morning. Topics include strength training in perimenopause, body composition after 40, HRT and hormonal health, bone density, metabolic health, injury prevention, sleep, nutrition, and the kind of training that actually works when your body is changing. This is not a podcast about surviving menopause. It's about building the strongest, most capable version of yourself — at the exact moment most women are told to expect less.

Hypermobile? Yes, You Can Strength Train (Here's How to Do It Safely)
If you can touch your thumb to your forearm, your elbows bend backward when you lock them out, or you've spent your life being called "double-jointed" like it's a party trick — this episode is your explainer.Dr. Stephanie walks through what hypermobility actually is, the three-tier spectrum from simple joint laxity to Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder to hEDS, and why the standard fitness advice (more stretching, more mobility work, taking it easy) is often exactly backwards for this population. The real issue was never flexibility — it's instability.Dr. Stephanie also explains safe strength training when your passive stabilizers can’t protect your end range, why controlled range is better than maximum range, and the specific training variables (tempo, isometrics, balance work) that build the neuromuscular control hypermobile bodies lack. She also covers nutrition considerations (protein, vitamin C, collagen timing) and recovery pacing, and reframes the idea that losing muscle while hypermobile makes you safer.TOPICS COVEREDWhat hypermobility is and how it's screened (the Beighton score)The three tiers: joint hypermobility, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)Why hypermobility itself isn't the problem — instability isPassive stabilizers vs. active stabilizers, explainedWhy estrogen increases ligament laxity (and why women are more affected than men)Proprioceptive deficits: why hypermobile joints don't send a clear "too far" warning signalWhy strength training is a primary treatment strategy, not a nice-to-haveTraining in controlled range (about 80-90% of passive range) instead of maximum rangePractical cueing for squats, presses, and overhead workControlled eccentrics, isometrics, and balance/proprioceptive trainingWhy passive static stretching is generally counterproductive for this populationJoint-by-joint programming (why shoulders and hips need the most attention)Nutrition: protein targets, vitamin C, and collagen peptide timingRecovery: pacing over pushing, sleep, and how to tell soreness from a warning signWhy chasing "skinny" is especially risky for hypermobile women in midlifeRESOURCES MENTIONED https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep488OUR SPONSORSALGAECALListeners can try AlgaeCal Collagen and get a specail discount off their first purchase through our special offer.

No Time for the Gym? How to Rack Up Movement Minutes and Protect Your Bone Density with Katy Bowman
What if the guilt you feel for skipping the gym is based on a flawed concept? Biomechanist Katy Bowman challenges the notion that exercise is merely a modern, recent way to meet our body’s movement needs. She introduces her ”movement diet” framework, which includes movement calories (volume), movement macronutrients (walking, carrying, climbing, hand use, big-body work, active rest), and movement micronutrients (joint work often overlooked).Katy also encourages playing cards on the floor instead of the couch, sprinting with your kids at the park instead of on a track, why bunions and hallux valgus develop from years of subtle gait compensation, not "just aging," and why fixing the small stuff often matters more than adding another workout. Remember your bones and joints don’t distinguish between loads from a barbell and carrying groceries; they only care that the load occurred.If this episode has you wanting more than an hour with Katy, she's leading an in-person retreat, Dynamic Aging: Movement Through Menopause & Beyond, October 2–4 2026. https://artoflivingretreatcenter.org/retreat/presenter/katy-bowman/dynamic-aging/🎤 TOPICS COVEREDExercise vs. physical activity vs. movement (the three circles)Fitting movement into an exhausted eveningThe movement diet: macros, micros, and why movement is a nutrientThe Movement Pyramid, bottom to topShould you push through pain, or back off?Why "it's just age” is usually a movement-pattern problemDriving, automatic transmissions, and the pelvic floor connectionHadza activity levels vs. modern sedentary lifeFinding movement inside a "fixed" daily scheduleKaty's own movement diet, and "Night Bitch"What bone actually needs: a biomechanist's view on bone density"Loads, not modes": Katy's rowing routine and the vitamin D/tofu analogyReframing sprinting: racing your kids at the parkMovement snacks and redesigning your environment"Convenience isn't saving you time — it's saving you movement"Feet, bunions, and how gait patterns formNot "over the hill": choosing uphill in midlife📎 RESOURCES MENTIONED https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep487📦 OUR SPONSORSJUST THRIVE HEALTH - Your gut runs the show — take the Feel Better Challenge and save on your first order at https://justthrivehealth.com/better with code BETTER.SUNLIGHTEN - Boost recovery, heart health, and balance with sauna therapy.

The Physiology of Grief: What Loss Actually Does In Your Body with Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD.
Falling in love triggers a specific hormonal cascade: oxytocin, dopamine, the whole cocktail that makes you feel like you can't think about anything else. What almost nobody talks about is that losing someone runs that same system in reverse. Mary-Frances O’Connor, director of the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress Lab, discusses how grief can be understood as a hormonal “withdrawal” from the bonding chemistry of love, debunks the myth of five linear stages, and clarifies the difference between acute “grief” and the longer-term trajectory of “grieving.” Prof O’Connor explains common emotional, cognitive, and physical manifestations, why the brain both knows a loved one is gone yet still expects them, and how grieving involves intense learning and identity updating. This episode also covers health risks after bereavement, the importance of preventive care and supportive companionship, practical ways to honour loved ones, and how reflecting on mortality can shape meaning. 🎤 EPISODE OVERVIEW Intro & Rapid-Fire Questions Defining Grief vs. Grieving Grief Beyond Death: Divorce, Empty Nests & Identity Loss The Neurobiology of Love, Bonding & Loss Acute Grief and the 21x Heart Attack Risk The Broken Heart Phenomenon & the Case for Bereavement Care Platitudes and How to Actually Support Someone Grieving The "Gone But Everlasting" Theory & Grief as Learning Purple Towels: Identity, Continuing Bonds & Facing Our Own Mortality After Party with Dr. Stephanie 📎 RESOURCES MENTIONED https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep486 📦 OUR SPONSORS BEARABY - Find a more natural way to support deeper, calmer sleep.

How Nitric Oxide Controls Blood Flow, Energy & Hormone Function with Cathy Eason, MS, BCHN
If you’ve got a cupboard full of supplements you bought with good intentions but never used, this episode is for you. Cathy Eason, Chief Science Officer at Berkeley Life, talks about nitric oxide, a molecule that affects almost every body system, including blood flow, blood pressure, digestion, energy production, and sexual arousal. She explains why nitric oxide production declines in your 30s and how it’s linked to perimenopause. Eason also discusses the research behind using dietary nitrates (like beets and leafy greens) to support nitric oxide production and when supplementation might be necessary. This episode covers practical aspects like testing nitric oxide status at home, the connection between oral health and nitric oxide, and how the protocol differs for daily energy needs versus intense training. Eason also advises caution with nitric oxide supplementation, especially for those on blood pressure medication, and why she moved away from arginine/citrulline supplements.

Your Brain on AI: How to Build Your Memory Muscle Before You Borrow It with Jim Kwik
For over 30 years, Jim Kwik has coached Hollywood, professional athletes, political leaders, and Harvard University on how to learn faster and think sharper — and in this episode, he tackles the question sitting underneath so much of modern life: what happens to your mind muscle when every cognitive task gets handed off to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? The good news: your brain, like your muscles, adapts to the demands placed upon it at any age or stage. Jim explains why frustration and failure aren’t obstacles to brain training, shares his personal top ten list of brain-building habits, ranging from racket sports to language learning and volunteering. He also delves into an MIT study examining the impact of ChatGPT and introduces his own framework for using AI as a genuine cognitive partner, rather than a replacement for human brain power. 🎤 Episode Overview: Intro/Teaser Can You Strength Train Your Brain?

Pilates Girls, You're Losing Bone. The Exercise Science of Building Bone After 40 with Prof Belinda Beck
For decades, women with low bone density were told to take it easy; Professor Belinda Beck's research proved the opposite: high-intensity resistance and impact training safely rebuilds bone, even in women who had been told their bones were too fragile to lift heavy. Belinda covers the full arc of bone health, from how peak bone mass is set in the teenage years, to what actually happens to bone when estrogen declines through perimenopause and menopause, to why so many popular "safe" exercises, including walking, cycling, and Pilates, simply don't provide enough stimulus to protect bone. They dig into the physiology of bone remodelling, the real evidence (and lack of it) behind weighted vests, how to read a DEXA scan, and practical calcium and vitamin D guidance. Belinda also shares the story behind LIFTMOR itself, including how her research team was once considered reckless for asking postmenopausal women to lift heavy, and how those same women ended up stronger, more confident, and more independent than they'd been in decades. EPISODE OVERVIEW Introduction & Rapid Fire Bone 101: Structure, Types & What Determines Density How Bone Forms: Peak Mass, Sex Differences & Sesamoid Bones Diet Culture, Dairy Myths & Caloric Restriction Debunking the Kids & Weightlifting Myth Runners, Multi-Sport & Varying the Stimulus Wolff's Law & How Bone Adapts to Load Best & Worst Exercises for Bone, Weighted Vests & Pilates Estrogen, Perimenopause, Menopause & Building Your Baseline The LIFTMOR Trial, ONERO & Getting Your Life Back The After Party: Final Thoughts with Dr. Stephanie RESOURCEShttps://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep483 OUR SPONSORS LMNT Stay hydrated without the sugar, food dye, and other dodgy ingredients found in popular electrolyte and sports drinks.

Frozen Shoulder, Aching Hips & Just Aging: Midlife Joint Pain with Dr. Tom Walters
You did everything they told you. You rested it. You waited. And it still hurts. Here's the part no one explains: rest is often the reason it isn't getting better. Dr. Tom Walters is an orthopedic physical therapist, kinesiology professor, and founder of Rehab Science. Tom has spent over a decade teaching people that their bodies are adaptable, not fragile, and this conversation is a masterclass in what that actually means when something starts to hurt. They nerd out (a lot), but everything here is built to help you move through midlife with less fear and more agency. This one is for every Bettie who was told her aching hip or frozen shoulder is "just aging." You're not broken, and you're not behind. Your capacity changed; your plan just needs to change with it. 🎤 EPISODE OVERVIEW: Intro/teaser Rapid fire: the rehab rules and myths worth tossing What pain really is (it's not just a sensation) The different types of pain Why "just rest it" is outdated Ego, injury, and the recovering type A Load vs capacity, explained simply Perimenopause, estrogen, and your changing capacity The three phases of rehab Hypermobility: why you have to chase muscle That hip pain isn't bursitis (plus the live demo) How to care for your body before the pain starts The After Party with Dr. Stephanie 📎 RESOURCES MENTIONED: https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep482 🎁 OUR SPONSORS: JUST THRIVE HEALTH - Your gut runs the show — mood, immunity, energy, all of it.

Spiritual Fitness: Letting Go vs. Giving Up with Danielle LaPorte
We've been taught that healing is something you power through. Overcome the fear. Crush the goal. Cut the cord and move on. Danielle LaPorte says that's exactly why so many high-achieving women are still stuck in the same loops they swore they'd released; they were given the wrong instructions. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie (a self-described mechanist who wanted KPIs for her soul) gets Danielle to make "spiritual fitness" as concrete as a training program: a framework, metrics, and skills you can actually practice. They get into why cutting cords usually leaves you more hooked, not less; the fear of rejection quietly driving the woman who never misses a workout; the difference between ego goals (no party, no rest, onto the next thing) and heart-centered goals; and why the answer to a hard emotion is to bless it, not banish it. 🎤 EPISODE OVERVIEW: Intro/Teaser Cutting cords, AI & triggers Letting go vs. giving up What is spiritual fitness?
