Midlife and beyond is a powerful time for women to reconnect with the pillars of health, including nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, sexual health, community, and financial well-being. These pillars work together to support confidence, purpose, and meaningful aging.

Health coaches help women bridge the gap between intention and real life by clarifying long-term goals and creating sustainable, science-based behavior change rooted in personal values.

Financial health is also a critical, and often overlooked, part of navigating menopause and long-term well-being.

One doctor says stay on birth control.
Another says menopause hormone therapy.
Social media says… everything.

Welcome to perimenopause — the medical gray zone that has confused women into a frenzy.

In this episode, my guest, breaks down why hormone decisions feel so confusing and what women actually need to know about birth control vs menopause hormone therapy, common myths, symptom relief, and what’s normal when hormones are shifting.

We talk about the women often left out of the conversation — PMDD, early menopause, and post-hysterectomy.

The confusion isn’t your fault. And, there’s a solution just for you.

Dr. Sarah de la Torre is a double board-certified OBGYN with over 25 years of experience in women’s health. She specializes in perimenopause and menopause care, integrating hormone therapy, functional medicine, and lifestyle-based approaches. She serves as Clinical Lead for Respin Health, has contributed to women’s health innovation with Joylux, and is Clinical Faculty at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

Beauty and sexual energy don’t start in the mirror — they start within.
Midlife brings real shifts in hormones, confidence, desire, and how we feel in our bodies. When that spark feels lost, it isn’t failure — it’s biology and change asking for a new kind of care.

This 2nd act of self-care goes deeper: supporting hair as it thins, nourishing evolving skin, and reconnecting with desire and vitality. Midlife is a chance to redefine it.

✨ Meet our 2nd panel of speakers for our Feb 3rd event in Winnetka:

— Board-certified Dermatologist & Dermatopathologist, Founder of Dy Dermatology Center. Expert in hair loss, pigmentation, and ethnic skin & hair disorders.

12/29/2025

More and more midlife women are talking about GLP-1 medications, menopause, and weight changes that feel impossible to manage, even when lifestyle is already dialed in. There is still so much confusion, judgment, and stigma here, so let’s talk about what the science actually shows.

I’m hosting a live conversation on rē•spin with Dr. Catherine Johnson, MD of Precision Medical Care LLC, Obesity Medicine and Emergency Medicine Board Certified physician, where we’ll break this down in a straightforward way. We’ll talk about why menopause can shift metabolism and insulin sensitivity, why weight gain happens even with “perfect” habits, and why this is biology, not a lack of willpower or discipline.

We’ll also cover the difference between FDA-approved GLP-1 dosing and micro-dosing through compounding pharmacies, who each approach may be appropriate for, safety considerations, and how these medications fit within a bigger picture of health, lifestyle, and behavior change.

If you’re a midlife woman who feels like your body has changed and no one told you the rules changed, too, this session is for you. Our goal is to replace confusion and shame with clarity and informed choice.

Join us January 7th, 2026 at 7 PM ET for an hour-long conversation with Q&A. This is complimentary. Please share with a friend, family member, or coworker who needs to hear this.

New Year’s Resolutions, yay or nay?

The usual “reset everything at once” approach ignores those realities, and that’s why so many women feel like they’re failing by February. On my latest Health Trip Podcast, I talk through what the science actually supports: small, sustainable steps, systems over motivation, identity-based habits, and support that works with your biology instead of against it. Your 2nd act is an opportunity to build habits that are realistic and lasting.

If you’ve been frustrated with goals that never stick, this episode offers a different way forward. Schedule your complimentary consultation and book your package by Dec. 31st and receive a bonus session. Linked in profile along with this episode.

This is my WHY. Meet Miles. My first grandson who is 3 months old. I knew this day would come (I have 5 kids) and I wanted to be ready.

I want to be able to:
-be useful to my kids as I age, not a burden.
-maintain and build strength to lift babies, put down babies, and carry babies.
-maintain my energy and brain health to keep up and focus on nuanced tasks.
-take my grandkids on vacations, hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, and seeing the world.

My daily routine is full of intentional, and mostly intuitive actions that bring me joy, challenges, and move me towards my wellness vision.

What are your goals when you’re in your 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s? A new year is upon you. What’s going to be different for you?
