If you’ve ever peed a little when you laughed—or if sex has started to feel more painful than pleasurable—you might be dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction… even if no one’s ever told you that.

Pelvic floor issues are way more common than you think, especially for women over 40. So why aren’t we talking about them?

Well, today we are.

We’re going to be chatting with Christina Walsh, a licensed physical therapist and the co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler, where she specializes in holistic pelvic floor health for women—especially those of us over 40.

Christina’s work is all about non-invasive, practical solutions to problems like leaks, prolapse, pelvic pain, and all the awkward stuff that no one wants to talk about—but so many of us are secretly dealing with.

And I’ve got to say, this conversation was SO eye-opening. Whether you’ve had kids or not, whether you’re in perimenopause or postmenopause, this is info every woman needs to hear.

In this eye-opening episode of Feel Better, Live Free, Ruth sits down with thyroid expert Dr. Eric Osansky to unpack one of the most misunderstood—but critically important—parts of your health: your thyroid.

Dr. Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who overcame Graves’ disease using natural therapies. Now, he helps others do the same—specializing in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, along with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.

If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, or hormonal chaos, this conversation is a must-listen. You'll learn what the thyroid actually does, how it connects to other systems like your liver and gut, and why your “normal” lab results might be hiding a much deeper issue.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The vital role your thyroid plays in metabolism, hormones, and energy
• How thyroid dysfunction shows up (even when labs look normal)
• The difference between hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Graves’ disease, and Hashimoto’s
• How your liver, gut, and immune system are all connected to thyroid health
• Natural treatment options and dietary strategies for Graves’ disease
• Why so many women are misdiagnosed—or never diagnosed at all

Resources & Links:

• Connect with Dr. Eric Osansky: savemythyroid.com
• Dr. Osansky’s Books: Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves’ Disease, Hashimoto’s Triggers, The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet

Okay, let’s be honest—when was the last time you really thought about your dental work? Probably never.

But what if I told you that old filling, root canal, or even just skipping floss isn’t just about your teeth—it could actually be what’s messing with your hormones, draining your energy, and keeping you stuck?

Today’s episode is going to blow your mind… and maybe have you calling your dentist.

(Or looking for a new one!)

In this episode we are chatting with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a trailblazer in the world of Biologic and Holistic Dentistry. She’s an author, speaker, and teacher who had to completely reinvent her career after discovering that her own dental work was making her dangerously sick.

And through her healing journey, she uncovered some of the shocking risks most of us never even consider when it comes to modern dentistry—things like mercury poisoning, hidden infections, root canals, and how they’re all connected to your hormones, your immune system, and even your gut.

Now, through her practice at Total Care Dental, she’s helping people from around the world get their health back—starting with their mouth.

Okay, let’s be honest—confidence doesn’t always come easy, especially in midlife.

Between the career pivots, the body changes, and the whirlwind of life, it’s easy to feel like we’ve somehow lost our spark.

But what if confidence isn’t something you're either born with or not… what if it’s something you can actually build—one intentional step at a time?

And what if reinvention isn't just possible at this stage of life—but actually easier because of everything you've already overcome?

Today’s guest, Karen Fabian, is showing us exactly how to do that—and trust me, you’re going to want to take notes.

This summer I spent almost a whole month eating my way through Europe–pasta, pretzels, gelato, french fries–all the things I would normally avoid.

But when I finally came home, I hadn’t actually gained any weight.

It’s pretty crazy, especially when I realize that five years ago one little cheat meal would leave me three pounds heavier and spiraling with guilt for weeks.

But the difference isn't willpower—it's metabolic flexibility.

And once you understand what that actually means, everything about weight loss starts to make sense.

I talk a lot about all the things you can do to lose weight, but not nearly enough about the freedom that happens when you actually HEAL your body.

Because when I started doing all the research, I basically discovered that pretty much everything I'd ever been taught about losing weight was backwards.

The calorie counting, the restriction, the willpower—all of it was actually making my problem worse. And the moment I stopped fighting my body and started working with it instead? That's when everything clicked.

And so today we're going to talk about why that whole approach is completely backwards. We're diving deep into metabolic flexibility—what it actually means, why it's the real game-changer for your health, and how you can stop fighting your body and start working with it instead.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand why every diet has failed you, what your body actually needs to burn fat efficiently, and how you can finally get the food freedom you've been dreaming about.

Plus, I'm going to share something pretty exciting I'm launching that can help you put all of this into action for the last 90 days of this year.

So let’s dig in.

If you’re trying to get healthy, lose weight, fix your hormones, or heal your gut—but you’re still buying meat from the grocery store—you might be missing the most important piece of the puzzle.

Because what you eat matters—but what your food ate (and the soil it was grown in)?

Believe it or not, that matters even more.

Today’s guest is going to explain exactly why—and once you hear it, you’ll never look at your plate the same way again.

It’s easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year.

It’s that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz.

Everyone’s talking about resolutions, so you do too.

And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summer hits, all those good intentions have been long forgotten, and then fall comes and almost feels like…what’s the point?

The holidays are right around the corner, so you might as well wait until next year.

Right?

And I get it. But I don’t buy it. Because what I’ve learned over the past 15 years of being super intentional with my goals, is that 90 days is actually a long time.

Long enough to make real progress on anything you want for your life.

Long enough to see real results, but still short enough to keep you focused.

Even in the midst of a busy season.

And I believe that you have the power to make this your best quarter yet. Not next year. Not when life gets less crazy. Right now.

This year, we’re not limping to the finish line.

So let’s dive in.

Ever feel like your brain just won’t shut off—like the anxiety is constant, sleep is a struggle, and your mood is all over the place?

You’ve tried meditating. You’ve cut the caffeine. You’ve even taken the supplements.

But what if the real problem is that your brain’s brakes aren’t working?

Today we’re diving into GABA—what it is, why it’s so often ignored, and how you can actually fix it without relying on a pill that doesn’t work.

We’re going to be chatting with Dr. Scott Sherr, a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician and expert in Health Optimization Medicine, and a total powerhouse when it comes to cutting-edge brain and body science.

And today’s topic is one that I honestly think every woman over 40 needs to understand—especially if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, insomnia, depression, or brain fog. Because the truth is, a GABA deficiency might be at the root of all of it.

We’re unpacking what GABA is, why most clinicians never even test for it, and why GABA supplements don’t actually work the way you think they do. Plus, how you can naturally support your brain through food, lifestyle, and science-backed strategies.

This is such a good conversation, and I know you’re going to get so much out of it—so let’s get into it.
