Or, listen on Spotify.


Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author and spiritual teacher, spent years in perimenopause without ever naming it, until menopause hit at 44 and she came out the other side in what she calls a kind of resurrection. In this episode, she and Jeff trace that path: the unraveling, the hormones, the strength training, and the spiritual reckoning underneath all of it.

They get specific about the physical and the spiritual at once: hormones, muscle, and the inner work that made the rest possible.

  • Perimenopause symptoms that often go unrecognized in your 30s and 40s
  • Hormone optimization, HRT, and microdosing testosterone for women
  • Strength training, protein, and protecting muscle as you age
  • Internal Family Systems and healing core wounds through transition

This episode is for anyone navigating menopause, rethinking women's hormone health, or looking for a grounded spiritual practice to move through a hard season.
