Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond "HRT or Not?": Supporting the Bodies of Future Wise & Well Grandmothers - Jane Hardwicke Collings
Q: What is perimenopause and menopause, and how do you define them in your framework?
They are stages around the last menstrual period, but the language around them has been medicalized; the discussion reframes them as a rite of passage with a natural trajectory, where hormones change but don't define the whole experience, and where individuals may choose HRT/MHT or other supports depending on their unique context.
The Epidemic of Women Undernourishing - Ashley Wulkan
Q: What practical steps can listeners take right now to ensure they're nourishing themselves adequately?
Advice centers on simple, accessible meals, prioritizing calories and protein, and using practical guidelines over complex testing initially, with an invitation to start with a free guide and then consider HTMA testing if needed.
The Epidemic of Women Undernourishing - Ashley Wulkan
Q: How did you realize that under-eating was a widespread issue among women, and what signs did you notice in your practice?
She explains patient stories, metabolic and micronutrient concerns, and the moment she connected persistent fatigue, misperceived hunger, and social pressures to under-eating, shifting her approach to emphasize caloric adequacy.
The Epidemic of Women Undernourishing - Ashley Wulkan
Q: Can we start with an introduction of who you are and how you came to be doing what you're doing?
Ashley shares her decade-plus of work in natural health, her focus on eating as a foundational intervention for women's health, and her personal journey from diet-focused training to prioritizing nourishment as the core tool.
Elemental Inheritance: Minerals & Metals in Modern Life - Niecia Nelson
Q: What are the long-term solutions for health concerns rather than quick fixes?
Long-term solutions involve increasing metabolic energy and addressing deficiencies rather than seeking immediate detoxification.
