What the Women's Health Initiative missed about women with symptoms
What LOOP events are, why you might get them, and what you can do about them

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 44:19

We know Gina Livy as the weight loss expert. So when she told her community she was writing a book, we assumed we knew exactly what it would be about. We were wrong.

Why weight loss is so much more than the numbers on the scale
How your home is a wellness partner
Why travel is about perspective, not sightseeing
Why sleep and stress are the actual midlife levers

Stefan Underwood on The Value Proposition of Sleep Part 2: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey

Saison 3 · Épisode 28

mercredi 12 août 2026 • Durée 32:14

Okay, so you're convinced. Sleep matters. Now what?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Stefan Underwood, SVP of Methodology at Exos, we get into the practical stuff — the things you can actually do to protect and improve your sleep, even when perimenopause is working against you. No overwhelm, no 17-step overhaul. Just a clear framework and a few things worth trying.

Because as Stefan puts it: perfect is the enemy of better. And better is absolutely worth fighting for.

In this episode:

The three-chapter framework for improving your sleep: foundational biology, environment, and disruptors
Why morning and evening light exposure is one of the most powerful (and free) things you can do for your sleep
The truth about temperature and why cool isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.
How to think about your sleep environment beyond cool, dark, and quiet
The real cost of that one glass of wine
Why heavy resistance training and sleep have a bi-directional relationship and what adenosine has to do with it
The emerging research on heat acclimation - hot tubs, dry saunas, and why training your body to handle heat might help reduce hot flashes and improve sleep

Plus: the one thing Stefan wants every woman to know about sleep.

This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, start there. It'll change the way you think about why sleep matters in the first place.

Stefan Underwood on The Value Proposition of Sleep Part 1: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey

Saison 3 · Épisode 27

mercredi 5 août 2026 • Durée 34:03

Tired of being told sleep is good for you? Yeah, us too. We already know. The real question is: why aren't we protecting it?

In this episode, we sit down with Stefan Underwood, Senior Vice President of Methodology at Exos, a human performance company that has worked with elite athletes, Special Operations Forces, and Fortune 500 leaders.

Today Stefan is going to completely reframe the way you think about sleep. Not with guilt. Not with generic advice. But with a compelling, personal reason to finally fight for it.

Because sleep isn't just rest. It impacts every single cell and system in your body. And in perimenopause, when your hormones are already working against you, what's happening (or not happening) while you sleep matters more than ever.

In this episode:

How to find your personal "value proposition" for sleep
What REM sleep does for your emotional regulation
Why the woman who's showing up to the gym three days a week and not seeing results may be missing this one critical piece
Why perimenopause is the exact wrong time to sacrifice sleep and what's really at stake when you do
The "mom tax" and why the invisible mental load women carry makes sleep deprivation even more costly

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation with Stefan. Consider this your wake-up call.

This is part of our Endy Reclaim Your Rest Sleep Series - helping you wake up rested, focused, and ready to take on whatever the day brings.

Saison 3 · Épisode 26

mercredi 22 juillet 2026 • Durée 32:01

Think eating disorders only affect teenagers? Think again. What if we told you that the food rules, exercise obsessions, and body struggles you're experiencing during perimenopause might actually be disordered eating in disguise?

Meet Kyla Fox, a Master's level clinician and eating disorder specialist who's spent 20 years revolutionizing treatment approaches. After her own struggle with an eating disorder, Kyla identified critical gaps in traditional recovery methods and founded an innovative treatment center that's helping thousands of women break free from patterns they didn't even realize they had.

From the woman who exercises for hours after eating to the one sneaking food when her partner's away (Michelle, I see you!), Kyla reveals how disordered eating shows up in ways we never expected – especially during the hormonal chaos of midlife.

In this episode, you'll discover:

The difference between eating disorders and disordered eating
Why perimenopause often triggers or amplifies disordered eating patterns
The three core symptoms of disordered eating: binge, purge, and restrict
Why exercise is actually the most common form of purging behavior

We live in a culture that normalizes disordered eating. Luckily, Kyla is here to show us what true food freedom actually looks like.
