I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Scott Sherr today.

In our conversation, we explore the sympathetic spiral of doom that middle-aged women often experience during a pivotal time of life marked by constant shifts in mitochondrial health, hormones, and neurotransmitters. We explore what it is and how to reframe it, and offer advice on navigating that stage of life and setting the tone for the decades to follow.

Join us for an empowering discussion where we share practical strategies to interrupt the spiral, reset your nervous system, avoid burnout, and shape the trajectory of your future.
