Empowering your health and wellness decisions with safe, effective, natural solutions from the top health practitioners, researchers, and experts.
We’ve all heard the saying, “Follow your heart.”
But what if I told you that your heart holds even more power than we’ve been led to believe?
In just a few minutes per day, you can learn to tap into that power and break free from the cycle of burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm—and completely transform your mind, body, and soul.
It’s called heart coherence.
And in today’s episode, I sit down with multiple-time New York Times best-selling author, holistic wellness expert, and meditation teacher Kimberly Snyder to show you how it works.
Kimberly blends ancient wisdom with modern science—and guides you through the five heart stages:
Dark; Propelled; Steady; Devoted; and Clear.
She also shares SIMPLE, heart-centered practices that can dramatically reduce stress, boost your energy levels, and even improve your gut health, hormone balance, and relationships.
Whether you're at work, at home, or in the midst of chaos, you can do these practices with ease—and the results can be life-changing.
Tune in here and get ready to open your heart for rapid healing!
“The heart is actually another brain—it sends more messages to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. It controls so much around our health, vitality, and emotional well-being. When we learn to tap into this power, it can transform everything.”
“These aren’t long meditations or complicated rituals—just quick, simple practices that take a few seconds. Even in the middle of chaos, you can realign and come back to a centered place in 3 to 10 seconds.”
“Once you start living from your heart, you’ll notice a shift. You’ll have more energy, better communication, and deeper intuition. It’s like opening up to a new way of living, where everything feels more in flow.”

The conversation around Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is back on the table, which we love. But unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

COVID might seem like old news, but if you’re a woman in midlife who’s had COVID in the past, it could still be majorly affecting you.
Your perimenopause or menopause symptoms may actually be heightened because of your history of a viral illness like COVID.
COVID still is absolutely dysregulating women’s menstrual cycles, fertility, and perimenopause/menopause experiences. That’s why Dr. Jessica Drummond joins me today to help you navigate the ups and downs as you transition into perimenopause or menopause– all while keeping your immune system in check.
People who are most at risk for long COVID are perimenopausal women– or women in their mid to late thirties to mid-fifties. And unfortunately, post-viral syndromes can make it difficult to tolerate hormone therapies, which can be really helpful during this transition.
So it’s essential to know if the menopause symptoms you’re facing are in part due to long-COVID or another viral infection.
Listen to the podcast here to learn how you can support yourself hormonally with neuroinflammatory strategies and tools to feel like your best self in midlife– even after illness!

When I recently surveyed several thousand women in perimenopause about their most disruptive symptoms, what stood out the most was the reported mood issues.
In perimenopause, your brain changes, causing a lack of stress resilience, lack of focus, and a lack of mental energy.
With all that’s on our plates in this stage of life– between careers, parenting, our marriages, and keeping up with our health– declining mental energy is NOT what we need.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, irritated, or more triggered along with
mood changes, it could be due to your changing hormones.
So how do you combat these symptoms to feel better… physically AND emotionally?
In this podcast, I’m sharing ALL my tips to help you find peace and harmony because you deserve it.
Check out this episode to discover exactly what you need to combat stress and mood swings to feel your best!
