Plastics, Hormones & the Future of Child Health with Dr. Manasa Mantravadi | HFYH #13407 Oct 202500:33:58

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright reconnects with Dr. Manasa Mantravadi—a board-certified pediatrician, Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, and founder of Ahimsa, the stainless steel dinnerware line engineered to reduce children’s exposure to plastic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Dr. Mantravadi unpacks her medical journey and how she translated concern over additives in everyday foodware into a mission-driven company designed for health, aesthetics, and safety.

Together, they explore the science behind microplastics and hormone-mimicking additives that silently infiltrate our food, disrupt insulin, fat cell signaling, and child neurodevelopment, and contribute to rising metabolic and cancer risks. Dr. Mantravadi shares concrete strategies for parents, caregivers, and institutions—kitchen swaps, school lunch reform, policy advocacy—that can shift the balance from exposure to protection. You’ll finish this episode empowered with small but cumulative changes to defend children’s health, one mealtime at a time.

How to Rewire Your Brain at Any Age with Jules Vazquez | HFYH #13330 Sep 202500:49:27

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Jules Vazquez—former Pitt and pro soccer player turned health-informatics expert and founder of Brain Body by Jules. Jules builds clinical algorithms for a health-tech company to speed access to care, and translates cutting-edge neuroscience into simple, actionable tools for brain and body health—a mission shaped by her own experiences with concussions and an eating disorder.

Together, they unpack what neuroplasticity really is and how to train it at any age. Jules breaks down dual-task drills (movement + cognition), vision/vestibular/proprioceptive training, and nervous-system support through breathwork and vagus-nerve activation. They explore habit stacking (adding brain games to walks or workouts), why “doing hard things” strengthens discipline circuits, and practical wins—like humming, weighted pressure, and grounding—to calm anxiety and sharpen focus.

The conversation ties these tools to midlife brain changes, sleep/nutrition/movement pillars, and everyday strategies listeners can start today to feel more present, resilient, and cognitively strong.

Can We Trust AI With Justice & Healthcare? | HFYH #13223 Sep 202500:42:00

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Gabrielle McKenzie, founder of the Fair Code Initiative and Columbia Law–mentored researcher on algorithmic accountability, and Isabella Wright, a rising scholar focused on constitutional protections in the age of AI. Together, they spotlight how proprietary, black-box tools are increasingly shaping real-world decisions—from courtrooms to clinics—and why transparency, oversight, and human judgment still matter.

They explore how risk-assessment algorithms inform bail and sentencing, what data they ingest (age, ZIP code, race), and the constitutional stakes for due process and the Equal Protection Clause. The conversation breaks down bias vs. correlation, where AI can help vs. harm, and the limits of “efficiency” when liberty is on the line.
The trio also covers practical steps: public education, standards for auditing and disclosure, engaging policymakers, and mobilizing grassroots advocacy—plus parallels in healthcare, where insurer algorithms can influence access to care.

The Hard Reality of Bone Health with Dr. Vonda Wright | HFYH #13009 Sep 202500:32:57

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright steps out from behind the interview chair to deliver a powerful and practical masterclass on bone health. As an orthopedic sports surgeon, Dr. Wright has seen firsthand the devastating effects of fractures—often caused by osteoporosis—and why bone health should be a priority at every stage of life.

She reveals how bones are far more than structural scaffolding: they are living, dynamic endocrine organs that store essential minerals, generate blood cells, and even secrete hormones that affect the brain, metabolism, and reproductive health. Dr. Wright shares eye-opening statistics on hip fractures and their impact on longevity, why peak bone density matters in your 20s and 30s, and how life events like pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause accelerate bone loss.

Most importantly, she outlines proven strategies to strengthen and protect your bones across your lifespan—through hormone replacement decisions, strength training, impact exercise, and smart nutrition. Whether you’re in your 20s building peak bone mass or navigating midlife changes, this episode offers essential insights to help you stay strong, mobile, and fracture-free for decades to come.

What Men Need to Know About Menopause with Peter Taglianetti | HFYH #12826 Aug 202500:48:09

In this special episode of Hot for Your Health, Dr. Vonda Wright is joined by her husband, Peter Taglianetti—two-time Stanley Cup Champion, broadcaster, and businessman—for a candid conversation on midlife, menopause, and marriage. Together, they share their personal journey of navigating Vonda’s transition from postpartum directly into perimenopause, a time marked by symptoms such as night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, and physical changes that impacted both partners in unexpected ways.

Peter offers the unique perspective of a partner who, like many men, had no prior understanding of menopause. He reflects on the importance of listening, open communication, and staying emotionally invested, while also highlighting the need for men to take on more household responsibility and support lifestyle changes as a family. Together, they emphasize that menopause is not just a “women’s problem,” but a family and social issue that can strain or strengthen relationships depending on awareness and dialogue.

From the role of sexual health and vaginal estrogen in preserving intimacy, to bridging generational silence around menopause, this episode delivers practical advice, deep empathy, and a call for broader cultural awareness.

Hormones, Cancer Risk, and the Truth About Menopause with Dr. Corinne Menn | HFYH # 12403 Jun 202500:42:17

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OBGYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and 23-year breast cancer survivor who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to the menopause conversation. A BRCA carrier and surgical menopause patient, Dr. Menn is a fierce advocate for women navigating cancer risk, premature menopause, and hormone health.

 

Together, they unpack the major gaps in menopause care—from the underuse of hormone therapy (only 4–5% of women use it) to the widespread misinformation among healthcare providers. Dr. Menn sheds light on how women with conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, or hereditary cancer risk are often excluded from mainstream menopause discussions and left without support. She explains why many cancer survivors can safely use hormone therapy under updated guidelines and why progesterone is still needed even after hysterectomy if endometriosis was present.

 

This powerful conversation is a must-listen for anyone impacted by surgical or early menopause, and those advocating for more compassionate, informed, and personalized care.

📝 Today's Show:

Denise’s story is a relatable one… just shy of 50 years old, Denise woke up one day and she realized she no longer recognized herself. Weight gain, exhaustion and declining health metrics had taken a toll. She embarked on a fitness transformation journey that saw her go from sedentary and overweight to losing 50 pounds and becoming a competitive bodybuilder in just over two years.  Along the way, she not only found herself again, but her life’s purpose; helping other women to become the very best versions of themselves and to thrive in mid life and beyond.

Rooted in a firm belief that all women get to choose how they age, Rebellion Body was born. Through her macros, weight training and hormones studies as well as her personal transformation experience, Denise educates and supports women on how to find themselves again through proper nutrition, resistance training and mindset work. She realizes that living your best life is not just about the physical transformation, but the identity shift necessary to see a future full of possibility.  Because we really are just getting started!
