  • Love this show.

    Kelly had some fabulous guests. And covers topics I have felt it difficult to talk about.

    Through Listening I have tried new things, affirmed some of what I am doing and saying and rethought about what can believe and hope for from my body and my closest relationship at 63.

    Bravo, and thank you 🙏🏻❤️

    This info is SO important. Make your own decision, but let it be an educated one. Whatever we do or don’t do, there are consequences. Kelly’s work is helpful for everyone, at every age.

  • Finally feel heard!

    Episode 353 about Hashimoto’s and gut health is the best podcast episode that I’ve heard to date on this topic! Every single thing that was said describes what I’ve been going through and feeling. The roller coaster of Hashimoto’s, perimenopause, HRT and gut health that I have been on has at times wrecked me! Even down to the bloat on progesterone is me! Thank you for this episode. Please dive deeper if you can. Love you Kelly Casperson and thank you for doing what you do!

  • Thank you!

    Thank you for the information you provide on women’s health. This ISHWISH episode was great. I would really like to hear more about the breast cancer related trials you discussed. It would also be great to hear more information on researching trials and how to get involved. Thank you again. 💝

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

370. Microbiomes & Menopause: What’s Really Driving Your Symptoms?
Q: How should patients approach fiber and diet during menopause?
Increase fiber gradually, focus on diverse plant varieties, and tailor intake to bio-individual needs to support short-chain fatty acid production and gut health.
370. Microbiomes & Menopause: What’s Really Driving Your Symptoms?
Q: What role might hormone therapy play in microbiome restoration?
Evidence suggests there could be a direction toward using hormones to modulate the microbiome as we understand more about the gut‑bone axis and systemic health.
370. Microbiomes & Menopause: What’s Really Driving Your Symptoms?
Q: Why is the microbiome central to menopause-related symptoms and overall midlife health?
Because the microbiome affects inflammation, hormone metabolism, and the integrity of gut, vaginal, and brain signaling, making it a pivotal factor in symptom management and long-term health.
368. Brains and Hormones
Q: Why focus on the perimenopause window for hormone therapy and brain health?
Because receptor density for estrogen is higher in that window, hormones can more effectively support brain metabolism, protect neural structures, and potentially reduce dementia risk, whereas starting therapy later shows diminished benefits and higher risks.
368. Brains and Hormones
Q: What makes dementia and Alzheimer's disease more a network issue than a single protein problem?
The discussion emphasizes that amyloid and tau are parts of a broader network disruption; removing one protein like amyloid does not automatically restore cognitive function, and the disease involves complex interactions across neurons, networks, and brain aging, requiring a holistic prevention approach.
