This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Cynthia Thurlow — nurse practitioner, menopause expert, speaker, and host of Everyday Wellness — for a direct conversation about perimenopause, menopause, gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, trauma, and what women actually need to understand about their bodies in midlife.
Cynthia explains why so many women hit their 40s and 50s feeling inflamed, anxious, exhausted, and unlike themselves. She breaks down the gut-hormone connection, why trauma and chronic stress can speed up ovarian aging, how progesterone and estrogen shifts affect anxiety and mood, and why the “wheels falling off the bus” in midlife may actually be a wake-up call to change what is no longer working.
Then the conversation gets highly practical: hormone replacement therapy, testosterone, cholesterol markers women should be asking for, intermittent fasting, muscle building, sleep, supplements, mold exposure, and the everyday habits that matter most. Cynthia also shares why women need to stop chasing every wellness trend and start majoring in the majors if they want real change.
