  • Stellar Podcast

    I cannot say how incredibly grateful I am to Dr. Stephanie Estima and the information she shares, interviewing some of the most forward thinking doctors willing to push against the status quo in the arena of women’s health! As a biologist and fellow information nerd, this has become one of my favorite podcasts. I am 39, living with Hashimoto’s, slow COMT, dealing now with an onset of perimenopausal symptoms and the information Stephanie shares have been my standard go-to while allopathic (apathe... more

    I loved the postcast with Dr. Felice Gersh! I learned so much and really liked the way she explained the difference in estrogens. The bit about bio identical vs. human identical hormone replacement therapy was helpful! I hope you have her on again and cover progesterone and testosterone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pilates Girls, You're Losing Bone. The Exercise Science of Building Bone After 40 with Prof Belinda Beck
Q: What is one bone health myth that you wish you could retire permanently?
The idea that heavy lifting is dangerous for people with low bone mass is false; heavy resistance and high-impact loading not only are safe in properly supervised programmes, but they can actively rebuild bone and reduce fracture risk, overturning the old adage to go lighter.
Is Muscle Soreness Progress? Dial in Your Exercise Intensity & Recovery with Dani Coleman
Q: What change did Jennifer Aniston experience in her training mindset?
Her approach shifted from equating workouts with soreness to valuing quality, consistency, and sustainable progress, including opting for shorter, lower-impact sessions when needed.
Is Muscle Soreness Progress? Dial in Your Exercise Intensity & Recovery with Dani Coleman
Q: How should a 45-year-old woman approach HIIT or high-intensity workouts during perimenopause?
Dose intensity carefully, ensuring proper recovery, rest days, sleep, hydration, and nutrition; use fewer high-intensity days and emphasize quality over quantity.
Is Muscle Soreness Progress? Dial in Your Exercise Intensity & Recovery with Dani Coleman
Q: What is more important for seeing changes in body composition, consistency or intensity?
Consistency wins; better to have many imperfect workouts over time than a few perfect sessions, especially during midlife when recovery can be more challenging.
96% of Drs Weren’t Taught About Pain: The Recipe for Relief with Dr. Rachel Zoffness
Q: Talk to us a little bit about central sensitization.
Central sensitization is when the brain and spinal cord become more sensitive over time, meaning the pain system amplifies signals; the brain uses all available data—injury signals, context, emotions—to decide how much pain to generate, making chronic pain a disease of the central nervous system.
