    I just listened to the clothing workouts and there wasn’t hardly any practical tips whatsoever. The entire episode was one big advertisement.

    I get that they need to make money but this was way overboard.

  • Honest and Open Conversations on a Long Silenced Topic

    So informative with real life talk that all women can relate to. Love that this topic is finally being openly discussed, so women are able to educate themselves and support each other. All I remember was my mother referring to “the change” back in the day, like it was a taboo topic, “no more”… thank you for this.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Perimenopausal Sleep Wishes Granted by Endy: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
Q: What role do bedding and temperature play in improving sleep for perimenopausal individuals?
Layering breathable natural-fiber bedding, using materials that promote airflow, and ensuring the mattress aids in heat dissipation are key to maintaining a cooler, more comfortable sleep environment.
Your Perimenopausal Sleep Wishes Granted by Endy: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
Q: How should someone approach pillow selection for side sleeping during perimenopause?
Choose a pillow with adjustable loft, like Endy's customizable pillow, and consider layering or removing filler to achieve the right balance of neck support and comfort for spinal alignment.
Your Perimenopausal Sleep Wishes Granted by Endy: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
Q: What makes Endy mattresses particularly suitable for people in perimenopause?
Endy emphasizes open-cell foam for continuous airflow, cooling foams with cooling gel, and motion-isolating features to reduce disturbances, all helping to address heat, discomfort, and restlessness common in perimenopause.
Sleep to Improve Your Healthspan with Dr. Woganee Filate: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
Q: What can women in perimenopause do to improve sleep?
Don't resign to poor sleep as normal—talk to a doctor, explore non-hormonal or hormonal options if hot flashes/night sweats are present, assess for sleep disorders like sleep apnea, and implement small environmental and habit changes.
Sleep to Improve Your Healthspan with Dr. Woganee Filate: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
Q: How do I know if I'm actually getting deep sleep?
There isn't a perfect external test besides formal sleep monitoring; wearables can estimate, but simply feeling rested is a practical indicator, and avoid fixating on wearable data to prevent additional anxiety.
