  • Not sure how long I'll listen. Her use of the cliché "girlfriend" is insulting, frankly. We are women. Grown adult women calling their female friends "girlfriend" is juvenile. Mature women don't do this.

    Also, annual mammograms for all women over 40? No, thank you.

  • Disappointed

    I’ve really appreciated Dr. Anna and many of her podcasts, but the recent episode with Dr. Margaret Christensen was alarming. Giving a platform to anti-vaccine voices and those who support RFK — someone openly anti-vax and reckless in his attacks on our healthcare system — is deeply concerning. Yes, our healthcare system needs reform, but he is absolutely not the person to do it. I urge you to be far more careful in choosing future guests.

Q: What are the non-negotiables in supplementation for menopausal women?
Non-negotiables include magnesium for over 600 enzymatic processes and to support sleep, omega-3s for brain and heart health, and vitamin D with K2 to aid bone health and calcium utilization; these are foundational due to changes in digestion and absorption during menopause.
