Kim Kardashian's Trainer Senada Greca: Why Women Shouldn't Fear Heavy Weights
Muscle is having its moment, and the woman leading the charge trains one of the most famous bodies in the world. Senada Greca, Kim Kardashian's trainer, joins Dr. A and Mary Alice to make the case that strength is a woman's birthright, and that lifting heavy will not make you bulky. It will make you powerful, capable, and built to last. Senada shares how she went from using exercise to punish her body to using it to build herself, and how strength training became a tool that helped her heal. She and the hosts get into why so many of us were taught to fear the weight rack, what strength really does for your bones, your brain, and your longevity as you age, and how to start moving from a place of love instead of punishment. Her advice for every woman listening: move, move mindfully, and move heavy.

Rhea Seehorn is up for an Emmy this weekend for her extraordinary performance in Pluribus, so we're bringing back one of our most personal, most-loved episodes.

They get honest about building a thriving blended family over twelve years, co-parenting after divorce, dating in your 30s, the female friendships that hold everything up, and the health scare a dozen doctors waved off as "probably hormonal" before Rhea pushed for a real answer.

The New Perimenopause: A Masterclass with Dr. Mary Claire Haver
The frozen shoulder. The 3 a.m. anxiety. The brain fog and the rage that come out of nowhere. For decades, women were told it was "just stress" and sent home with an antidepressant. This week, Dr. A and Mary Alice welcome back the woman changing that — Dr. Mary Claire Haver, the OB-GYN The New York Times calls the "Menopause Queen" — for a full masterclass on perimenopause.It can start in your late 30s, it lasts 7 to 10 years, and almost no one warned us. Dr. Haver explains what's really happening in your body and brain, why so many women are dismissed, and what you can actually do about it — HRT, progesterone, vaginal estrogen, sleep, mood, and the myth that you have to wait until it's "bad enough" to get help. Because suffering isn't the price of admission.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.
