Today’s episode is your ultimate guide to fixing your hormones at any age—and it’s a MUST listen for every woman in your life.

If you’re tired, bloated, gaining weight in places you never used to, struggling with thinning hair, acne, brain fog, low sex drive, mood swings, PMS, painful periods — this is not how it has to be.

Mel sits down with top OB-GYN and hormone expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD to unpack the science of women’s hormones in a way you’ve never heard before.

Whether you’re in your 20s and dealing with irregular cycles and PMS, or in your 40s and 50s navigating perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Shepherd breaks down exactly what’s going on in your body—and how to get it back in balance.

You’ll learn:

-The signs of hormone imbalance and how to fix it

-The surprising ways hormone shifts mess up your skin, cause weight gain, disrupt your sleep, and more

-The best foods to support your hormones (and the ones to cut back on)

-How to stop hair thinning and hormonal acne

-Why your skin starts to sag and what you can do to restore collagen

-What happens when you stop birth control—and how long it takes your body to reset

-Everything you need to know about PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, and more

This is your science-backed step by step guide to balancing your hormones for health, happiness, and longevity.

Whether you’re 25 or 65, you’ll finally learn how to work with your body, instead of against it, to feel your absolute best.

Right now, there’s something you want.

Maybe you need help at home, more support from your partner, or it’s time to set a boundary at work.

But you’re avoiding the conversation. Why? Because it feels hard. You don’t want conflict, you don’t want to upset anyone, and you just don’t know how to bring it up.

That ends today.

The greatest things in life are on the other side of hard conversations.

And in this episode, you will learn the 3 simple steps to have any difficult conversation and get exactly what you want.

Mel sits down with world renowned negotiation expert Kwame Christian, CEO of the American Negotiation Institute, to break down exactly how to approach the conversations you’ve been avoiding.

Whether you want to negotiate a raise, ask your partner to step up, or finally tell your friend what’s bothering you, this episode is your crash course in how to advocate for yourself.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

-Why avoiding hard conversations is damaging your relationships (and your self-respect)

-How to handle someone’s emotional reaction without losing your cool

-The 3-step “Compassionate Curiosity” framework to navigate ANY conflict

-Why it’s more important to be respected than liked (and how to make that shift)

-How to negotiate at home, at work, and even with your landlord

-How to stand up for yourself without starting a fight

If you’ve been staying silent, stewing in resentment, or dreading confrontation, this episode will give you the confidence and skills to speak up and change your life.

You deserve respect. This is your roadmap to get it.

Today’s episode is going to fundamentally change the way you think about spirituality — and what it truly means to live a deep and meaningful life.

Mel sits down with Dr. Lisa Miller, the world’s leading expert on the neuroscientific benefits of spirituality. Her groundbreaking research proves that every human being is biologically hardwired for spirituality — even if, right now, it means nothing to you.

Dr. Miller’s work shows that spiritual connection — however you define it — changes your brain for the better.

It can protect you from depression, anxiety, addiction, hopelessness, and burnout, and it gives you powerful tools to get through the hardest times in your life.

We are living in a moment where believing in something beyond yourself can feel impossible.

You might be feeling uncertain, anxious, or even pessimistic about the future — but this conversation will open your mind to possibilities you may have never considered before.

Dr. Miller will prove to you, using science, that when you awaken this innate part of your brain, you unlock resilience, clarity, connection, and a deep sense of purpose.

You’ll learn:
-The #1 thing that separates people who are resilient and hopeful from those who struggle

-The enormous difference between spirituality and religion (and why that matters for your mental health)

-How to unlock your brain’s “awakened” network — the key to creativity, intuition, and deep meaning

-How to nurture spirituality in yourself and your kids (even if you don’t know where to start)

-Why crises, heartbreak, and hardship can be portals to spiritual growth and personal transformation

Whether you’re deeply spiritual, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this episode will inspire you to see that spirituality isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s an essential part of being human.

If you’re feeling stuck, lost, hopeless, or like there must be something more to life, this conversation is coming to you at exactly the right moment.

In today's episode, you'll learn how to heal from an emotionally immature parent.

If you've ever felt invisible in your own family, like your needs didn't matter, or if nothing you did was ever enough, this episode is for you.

Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson is here to assure you that you're not imagining it. You're not too sensitive. You're not overreacting. And you're not alone.

If you find yourself struggling to set boundaries, you’re still craving your parent’s approval, or you’re always walking on eggshells to keep the peace, Dr. Gibson says the reason you feel this way is because you grew up with an emotionally immature parent.

And today you’ll finally understand what that means.

You're about to learn the 4 subtle signs you had an emotionally immature parent and how that shapes your adult life – and the exact path to healing.

Today’s episode is not about blame. It’s about clarity and finally having the language to describe what you’ve felt for years but couldn’t quite explain.

You’ll learn how to name the behaviors that left you feeling dismissed or unseen, and you'll have the tools to begin healing.

And that’s a big deal, because doing this work doesn’t just change how you feel; it changes how you live.

For the last 30 years, Dr. Gibson has helped millions of people around the world break free from the invisible emotional suffering that has held them back since childhood. She is a pioneering expert on the topic of emotionally immature parents, and is the author of the New York Times bestseller "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents."

This is the science and art of living better, longer.

Forget the trendy anti-aging supplements, infusions, and miracle cures: Dr. Topol is here to give you the truth on exactly what the science says about how to reverse the biological age of your organs, add up to a decade of healthy years to your life, and avoid the biggest killers we all fear.

You’ll learn:

-How to exercise and eat for optimal health and longevity
-The truth about supplements, IV drips, and anti-aging clinics
-Why loneliness is as dangerous to your health as smoking
-How exercise can be more effective than antidepressants
-The breakthrough blood tests and tools that could predict — and prevent — diseases decades before they happen

This conversation is full of science and hope, because as Dr. Topol says: “It has never been a more exciting time in medicine.”

Whether you want to prevent disease, feel better, or just live a longer, healthier life, this episode will give you the real plan for how to do it.

If you love someone, send them this episode. It could save their life.

In today’s episode, Mel will help you make any decision that you’re facing.

Today, she is giving you a masterclass in decision making—the psychology, the science, and the step-by-step framework she personally uses to stop spinning, start moving, and trust your gut.

If you're stuck in indecision, overthinking, or afraid of making the wrong choice—this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how to:
-Trust your intuition (yes, it’s real—and it’s backed by science)
-Stop second-guessing yourself
-Know when to go with your gut vs. when to slow down and make a plan
-Navigate difficult decisions that affect other people (like calling off a wedding or leaving a job)
-Handle the emotional aftermath of hard choices
-Build the confidence to make any decision—even the scary ones

This episode is packed with the tools, insights, and clarity you need to stop avoiding your choices and start creating the life you actually want.

You are one decision away from a different life. And chances are you already know exactly what to do, you’re just too afraid to do it.

This episode will teach you how to trust your gut and give you the courage to make the hard decision you know deep down you have to make.
