Menopause Reimagined is a weekly podcast hosted by Andrea Donsky, a registered holistic nutritionist with over 20 years of experience, author of Nourishing Menopause, and published menopause researcher whose work documented more than 103 signs and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

Every week, Andrea talks with doctors, naturopaths, researchers, and women living it about the things that actually change your day: sleep and the 3 am wake-up, brain fog, weight and body changes, gut health, anxiety and rage, libido, and what to do when your doctor tells you it is just stress. Nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and hormones, whichever route you choose.

Andrea is in menopause herself. No topic is off limits. You are not crazy, and you are not alone.

Ep #210: Perimenopause Weight Gain: Hormones or Calories? | Aram Grigorian

Épisode 210

vendredi 6 novembre 2026 • Durée 01:36:22

"I'm barely eating, but the scale keeps climbing. Is it my hormones, my metabolism, or something else?"

If you're struggling with perimenopause weight gain, especially stubborn belly fat, you're not alone. It's one of the most common concerns women share with us, and there are a lot of opinions about what really causes it.

Online health coach Aram Grigorian is back for another conversation with Andrea Donsky, and this time they're tackling a big question: Is weight gain during perimenopause and menopause really all about hormones?

Aram has spent 17 years coaching women over 40, and he shares his perspective on why calorie intake, nutrition, and lifestyle habits still matter when it comes to losing weight. They also discuss how hormonal changes can affect appetite, fat distribution, and body composition.

Andrea brings her own experiences and menopause research to the conversation, exploring insulin resistance, changes in metabolism, poor sleep, fatigue, and the challenges of exercising when you're already exhausted. She also opens up about her years of weighing and tracking every bite of food and how that affected her relationship with eating.

Together, they explore why losing weight after 40 can feel so challenging, the role of GLP-1 medications, how to manage food noise, and practical ways to make healthy eating easier.

They don't agree on everything, and that's what makes this such an interesting conversation! You'll hear different perspectives, plenty of thought-provoking moments, and practical tips you can take away.

Why hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to increased belly fat
How calorie intake, muscle mass, and metabolism influence weight loss after 40
Why we may underestimate how much we're eating, even when we're trying to eat healthy

Ep 209: Organ Donation & Menopause with Nicolé Thompson

vendredi 16 octobre 2026 • Durée 45:45

Nicolé Thompson donated a kidney to her husband Constantine five days after their wedding in 2011. He has polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and his father died after 10 years on dialysis. Fifteen years later, they're both doing well.

Nicolé is a Morphus customer, life coach, and professional singer, and her story is one of the most unexpected conversations we've had on the show. She walks Andrea through living donor testing, surgery day (including a nurse who mistook her husband for a stranger), her recovery, and what life after a transplant looks like for him. Then she talks about the part so many of us know: when perimenopause arrived in 2020, she blamed her anxiety and fatigue on COVID, on stress, even on having one kidney.

What you'll learn:
- What living kidney donor testing actually involves
- What recovery felt like after donating a kidney
- What polycystic kidney disease is and why it runs in families
- Why kidney transplant patients avoid grapefruit
- Why perimenopause anxiety and fatigue are so easy to blame on something else

Chapters:
2:00 A kidney donation love story (and a very awkward nurse)
5:18 Her fiancé's polycystic kidney disease diagnosis
7:43 Living kidney donor testing: what really happens
13:56 Married 5 days before the kidney transplant

32:39 How kidney donation has changed, and would she do it again?
40:19 Her message if organ donation scares you

Ep #208: Thyroid, Blood Sugar & Menopause | Dr. Jade Guerra

vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 33:53

My thyroid labs are "normal," but my hair's falling out, and I'm exhausted. Is this menopause or my thyroid?

If that sounds familiar, you're in good company. Andrea Donsky, nutritionist and bestselling author of Nourishing Menopause, has had Hashimoto's for more than 20 years, and once she hit menopause, her thyroid symptoms changed completely. The cold hands and weight gain she'd learned to watch for were replaced by a hoarse voice, fast weight loss, and depression.

So she sat down with Dr. Jade Guerra, a chiropractor and family nurse practitioner who has spent decades in functional medicine. They talk about what Hashimoto's actually is, why so many doctors don't check thyroid antibodies, and the kinds of testing Dr. Jade uses to look for what's behind your symptoms. Then they get into blood sugar: why insulin resistance gets more common in menopause, which fruits spike you (watermelon did it to Andrea), and why a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can tell you more than any food list.

And if you've ever walked out of an appointment feeling brushed off, Dr. Jade's closing message is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- Why your thyroid symptoms can look different in menopause
- What Hashimoto's is and why a thyroid antibody test is worth asking about
- How mold and other toxins can sneak into everyday food
- Why insulin resistance gets more common after menopause
- Which fruits are easier on your blood sugar, and how to get a CGM without a prescription in the US

Ep #207: Insulin, GLP-1s & Menopause | Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND

Épisode 207

vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 59:04

My labs came back "normal." So why do I feel like I'm falling apart and gaining weight?

If you've heard that from your doctor, this one's for you. Andrea sits down with her friend (and her own doctor), Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND, founder and clinical director of Advanced Women's Health. They recorded this with no script, for both of their podcasts, and it shows. They laugh a lot, and they still get into the stuff most doctors skip.

Sarah explains why she tests insulin and inflammation, not just FSH and LH, and why you can feel off for years before your labs show perimenopause. She uses a bank account analogy for insulin and fat storage that finally makes it click. Then they talk honestly about GLP-1 medications, what the big weight loss trials actually did, and why food, supplements, and medication don't have to be an either/or choice.

Sarah also shares something personal. She used to weigh 100 pounds more than she does now, while eating well and working out, and it took years to find out why.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- Why your labs can look normal when you feel anything but, and what "late reproductive" means
- Which blood tests to ask about in perimenopause, including fasting insulin and inflammation markers
- How insulin affects where your body stores fat, and why eating less often backfires
- What the GLP-1 studies don't put in the headlines
- 3 surprising things that can add to perimenopause weight gain

Ep #206: Hydrogen Water in Menopause with Paul Barattiero

vendredi 11 septembre 2026 • Durée 54:40

Everyone's suddenly drinking hydrogen water. Is it hype, or is there actually science behind it?

Andrea met Paul Barattiero more than ten years ago at a health show in Toronto, back when almost nobody was talking about hydrogen water. Now it's everywhere, and a practitioner friend of Andrea's has been sending her studies about it almost daily. So she invited Paul on to explain what molecular hydrogen actually is, why he says it's not the same thing as the hydrogen in H2O, and what happens in the body when you drink it.

Paul's route into this was personal. His wife spent the first decade of their marriage with heavy, painful periods, adenomyosis and significant anemia, losing about a week of every month to her bed. On a cruise in 2005, friends handed her a jug of water they couldn't really explain, and something shifted. That sent Paul down a twenty-year path that inspired him to launch Echo Water.

In this conversation they talk about gut health, oxidative stress and inflammation, why hydrogen might behave more like a signal than a supplement, how much to drink and when, and what the menopause-specific research does and doesn't say yet.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

- What molecular hydrogen (H2) is, and why "isn't hydrogen already in water" is the wrong question

- Why your gut may be the reason you're not making hydrogen the way you used to

- What oxidative stress and chronic inflammation actually mean

- How much hydrogen water to drink a day, and why timing it around your workout may matter

- What the menopause research covers so far, including bone density, sleep, blood sugar and heart health

Ep #205: Bioidentical Hormones with Dr. Sharon Stills, ND

vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 58:42

Are Your Hormones Really Out of Balance in Perimenopause? Dr. Sharon Stills, ND, Explains What's Happening and What to Do

Told, "It's just aging"? Dr. Sharon Stills says perimenopause isn't a disease, and there's a real answer for your hormones.

Dr. Sharon Stills spent her twenties as, in her own words, "a hot mess": PMS for two and a half weeks a month, migraines, allergies, asthma, and so much bloating that strangers asked when her baby was due. There was no baby. That was her hormones. Twenty-five years, one naturopathic medical degree, and a menopause of her own later, she's a licensed ND who's helped thousands of women rebalance their hormones, and she just opened a 7,000-square-foot healing center in Scottsdale with her son.

In this episode, Andrea and Dr. Stills get into what bioidentical hormones actually are, why the cream your doctor gave you might not be working (hint: it's probably where you're putting it), and why she believes hormone decline, not "aging," is the real root cause of most perimenopause and menopause symptoms. They also cover the messy realities: insurance that won't cover hormone therapy, social media misinformation about compounded hormones, and why Dr. Stills had to fight her own insurance company over a continuous glucose monitor.

If you've ever been told your hormones are "probably fine" without ever being tested, this one's for you.

What you'll learn:

Why perimenopause and menopause aren't a "disease," and what's actually declining in your body
The real difference between bioidentical hormones (BHRT) and synthetic HRT, and why your body can tell
Why rubbing hormone cream on your arms or belly might mean you're getting almost none of the benefit
Does vaginal estrogen go "systemic"? Dr. Stills settles the debate that's all over social media right now
What individualized hormone testing looks like, and why "here's a patch, see you in a year" isn't it

Ep #204: Starting Over in Midlife with Kaurie DiBerardino

vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 29:31

Can You Start Over in Midlife? Kaurie DiBerardino Rebuilt Her Entire Life at 50 After a Career-Ending Injury

"I used to be a hottie. Now I'm only hot in flashes." If that made you laugh and wince at once, this one's for you.

Kaurie DiBerardino spent years as a pediatric physical therapist, a biologist, and a holistic nutritionist. Then, at 44, a back injury ended her career overnight. What followed was a decade she describes as heavy, dark, and more life than she knew how to carry. Her kids grew up and stopped needing her the way they used to. Her body stopped cooperating. And somewhere in there, menopause arrived.

So she opened an Instagram account and started posting jokes. Her kids mocked her relentlessly. She had ten followers, one of whom was her cat.

On Mother's Day 2025, a reel went viral, and the Former Hotties Club was born. Today, it is a community of thousands of women who show up in black leggings and messy buns to laugh together about the absurdity of getting older.

This one is for you if you have ever thought it's too late, or that starting something new at 50 is embarrassing, or that everybody else has friends and you're the only one who feels this alone.

What you'll learn:

Why so many women feel invisible in midlife, and what actually shifts that feeling
How to start something new after 50 when you're terrified and have no followers yet
Why menopause loneliness hits hardest once the kids are out of the house
What actually changes mentally in menopause, and why so many women say they like themselves more afterward
How to find your people again when school pickup is no longer your social life

Ep #203: Perimenopause Weight Gain and the 17 Reasons Why

vendredi 21 août 2026 • Durée 14:37

You're eating the same. Moving the same. But the scale is climbing and your belly is suddenly hard as a rock!

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author of the bestseller Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition & Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best, 7x published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, has been there. At 46, she was 20 pounds heavier than she'd been before perimenopause, and she was a nutritionist who had been teaching healthy living for decades. She still couldn't figure it out, and she blamed herself.

In this solo episode, she has the conversation she wishes someone had had with her back in 2016. This episode isn't another lecture about calories but rather an honest explanation of what actually shifts in your body during perimenopause and menopause, and what you can do about it.

What you'll learn:

Why you're gaining weight in perimenopause when you haven't changed a thing about how you eat.
What changing estrogen has to do with where your body stores fat, and why it lands on your midsection.
Why "eat less, exercise more" is the wrong advice for women in this stage of life.
How sleep, muscle loss, stress, insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut health all quietly feed into weight gain.
What Andrea's B.A.L.A.N.C.E. Blueprint approach to eating actually covers and how it works.
And why "not recognizing yourself" in the mirror is grief, not vanity.

Ep #202: Plant Protein & Menopause Muscle | Daphne Bascom

Épisode 202

vendredi 7 août 2026 • Durée 36:18

"I'm doing everything right, and the scale still won't move." If that's you, the scale might be the wrong thing to watch.

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, bestselling author of Nourishing Menopause, 7x published researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with Daphne Bascom, MD, PhD, a former head and neck surgeon who left the operating room for lifestyle medicine and is now Chief Operations Officer of The Vegan Gym. Daphne is 59, competes as an IFBB Bikini Pro, and has been putting on muscle for a decade on a fully plant-based diet. She is also blunt about the parts that are hard.

This one is for you whether you're vegan, plant-curious, or a total carnivore. Nobody is asking you to give up meat. The question is whether you're getting enough protein and enough different plants, and whether you're measuring the right thing.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

- Can you get enough protein on a plant-based diet in menopause, and what the newest muscle research actually found

- Why the scale lies, and what body composition means in plain English

- What body fat percentage is healthy for women in midlife (the published ranges may surprise you)

- Why you can't out-exercise a bad diet, and the minimum strength training that still moves the needle

- What a full day of plant-based eating looks like when you're aiming for 100+ grams of protein

- Why 30 different plants a week matters more for your gut than any single "superfood"

Ep #201: Cyclical Keto for Perimenopause | Ben Azadi

vendredi 24 juillet 2026 • Durée 32:33

Keto worked like magic in your 20s and 30s, but then perimenopause hit, and it stopped. Ben Azadi joins Andrea Donsky, author of Nourishing Menopause and 7x published menopause researcher, to explain why strict keto and fasting can backfire on shifting hormones, and how "flexing" instead of white-knuckling gets you back to results.

Ben Azadi is back, and this time he's telling us why strict keto is the wrong move once you hit perimenopause.

We talk through his revised book Keto Flex and why "flexing" in and out of ketosis, instead of staying in it forever, is the piece most women in this life stage are missing.

What you'll learn:

➡ Why doing keto and fasting too aggressively in perimenopause can backfire on your cortisol and adrenals
➡ What cyclical ketosis (keto flex) actually looks like week to week
➡ How ketosis may affect leptin, thyroid (T3), and testosterone, and why your labs can look "normal" while you still feel off
➡ Why brain fog and memory issues might improve with a fat-adapted metabolism
➡ Which fats to build meals around, and which seed oils to quietly drop
