In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I sit down with Dr. Amanda Adkins, a board-certified physician in lifestyle medicine, to talk about how the foods we eat impact our risk for chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
Dr. Adkins shares how nutrition can help prevent and even reverse many chronic conditions, and reminds us that while genetics may load the gun, our lifestyle pulls the trigger.

If you’ve ever laughed, sneezed, or jumped — and leaked a little — you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nabila Noor, a board-certified urogynecologist, to talk about pelvic health, bladder control, and what you don’t have to live with as you get older.
We dive into what’s actually happening when leakage occurs, why it’s so common after childbirth and menopause, and what you can do to strengthen your pelvic floor. Dr. Noor shares practical tips, explains when to seek specialist care, and breaks down the latest treatments that can make a big difference.
This is a conversation every woman should hear — because talking about pelvic health shouldn’t be embarrassing. It’s empowering.

We’ve all heard them — little “rules” about health that get repeated so often that they start to sound like facts. But some of the most common health myths can actually hold you back from taking care of yourself in the ways that matter most.
In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I’m busting 5 myths I hear all the time in clinic. We’ll talk about why these beliefs aren’t true and how you can make better choices for your health moving forward.
You’ll learn why:
Feeling fine doesn’t mean you can skip your annual checkup
“Normal” cholesterol isn’t the whole story for heart health
Peri-menopause is more than just hot flashes
Persistent fatigue isn’t always “just stress”
Exercise doesn’t give you a free pass on nutrition
Knowledge is power — and by breaking free from these myths, you’ll be better equipped to make decisions that truly support your health.

If you’ve been feeling “off” lately — low energy, disrupted sleep, mood changes, or a dip in libido — you’re probably not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.
In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I’m joined by Dr. Sadaf Lodhi, a board-certified gynecologist with a focus on sexual health, for a candid conversation about what really happens in the body during perimenopause and menopause, how it impacts sexual desire, and why so many women don’t get the answers they need from their doctors.
This is the conversation we wish more providers were having with patients — honest, compassionate, and empowering.
Tune in if you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
“My doctor told me everything is ‘normal,’ but I still feel off.”
“Why has my desire changed — and is it fixable?”
“I wish someone would just explain what’s happening to me.”
