Remember getting out of bed when you were 30? Nothing hurt, everything moved properly, nothing was stuck or rusty or sore. You can be that way again, says Dr. Vonda Wright, orthopedic sports surgeon.

You may have to approach activity differently (and cut back on sugar), but 50 and menopause don't mean your active life is over. Hear Jill Angelo, Gennev CEO, and Dr. Wright on movement, joint pain, and how to FACE the...

As Omnisade says, it's important "to see the trajectory of someone's lived experience" and understand "there's no shelf-life on evolving." Older women have important information to give, about the experience of menopause, and so much more. It's up to us to find opportunities to pass that information along.

Holding two views at once isn't crazy or wrong or weak; it can even be empowering. There's a tension in the gray space between that can cause stress, but it's also often a source of creation, of reimagining, of growth. In this fascinating conversation between Gennev Health Coach Stasi Kasianchuk & regular guest metabolic surgeon & gut health expert Dr. Erika La Vella, they explore the "tension of duality."  It doesn't have to be either/or (either sugar OR good health), so learn to...

We know that our emotions can have a direct physical result: Upset stomach, change in appetite, body aches can all result from emotional distress. But the impact travels both directions: the health of our gut microbiome can also dictate a great deal of how we feel, physically and emotionally. In this podcast, Gennev Health Coach Stasi Kasianchuk talks with metabolic surgeon & gut-health expert, Dr. Erika La Vella, about the intersection of nutrition, emotion, gut, brain, and menopause.

There's a gap in the quality of care men and women receive. Women's bodies are less understood, their health issues less researched, their solutions are "treat women as small men," their pain is ignored, etc. That discrepancy in care is worse if the woman is Black or of color; worse if she's poor, worse if she's a transgender woman; worse if she's past reproductive age. Gennev CEO Jill Angelo & Denise Pines talk about how many in the medical community are starting to recognize and...

The largest organ in the human body isn’t actually in the human body – it’s on the outside. To be even more accurate, it is the outside. It’s our skin. And it does more than keep the rain out and our insides in. Our skin is a pretty good barrier against much of the outside world, but it isn’t perfect. Sun damage happens. And the products we use on our skin may be doing us more harm than good. Hear more in this conversation between Gennev CEO Jill Angelo and Kari Gran founder Kari Gran!

When looking for the right face to put on our website, we knew what we wanted: a face that showed the strength, resilience, beauty, and energy of a woman in midlife and menopause. One of the images we loved was that of Aliza Sherman — we loved it so much, she graces Gennev's home page with her smile. Not long ago, @AlizaSherman tweeted, "Yes, that’s me. Apparently I’m the happy face of menopause." Team Gennev had been wanting to reach out and ask her to do a podcast; this was the nudge we...

For women dealing with perimenopause and menopause symptoms on top of everything else, the stress of 2020 can seem unmanageable. And because 2020 has been harder on women, it's no surprise many women are looking for relief from stress. One relatively new avenue for many is CBD, the non-hallucinogenic compound found in hemp. While research is still underway, many women have found CBD helps relieve stress and joint pain and promote sleep.

And as we get older, our gut biome changes, loses diversity, isn't as able to handle the demands we put on those poor friendly bacteria, especially over the holidays. Fortunately, there are experts like metabolic surgeon and founder of LaVellaYourGuts.com, Dr. Erika La Vella. In this conversation with Gennev's Director of Health Coaching, Stasi Kasianchuk, Dr. La Vella talks about how to preserve your gut through the holiday season and stay healthier all year 'round. 

Culturally, we have this idea that life slows at 50. Children are grown and gone, we're looking into retirement, our days of doing new things and surprising ourselves are over. Life past 50, if you look at the marketing for this age group, is mostly about fear: fear over health, fear over finances, fear of the future. Nothing could be further from the truth, says David Stewart of the AGEIST. People 50+ are doing all sorts of amazing things. Women especially are "figuring out life 2.0," says...

With so many symptoms, and some of them pretty unpleasant, menopause can seem like the end of your world. Or at least your world as you knew it. Amanda Thebe was a lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast, but when she hit perimenopause at 43, things went ... awry. Fatigue set in, and she found her previously boundless reserves of energy were drying up. And, like so many of us, she didn't realize right away that the issues she was having were hormonal. And like many women, she ran a gamut of...

cience is starting to uncover the many ways our gut flora affect our health. While many of us still believe the beneficial bacteria is good for digestion (and it is), it does a whole lot more.  In this podcast, metabolic surgeon and gut expert Dr. Erika La Vella talks with Gennev's Director of Health Coaching Stasi Kasianchuk about the bi-directional relationship between your gut and your brain.

When you look your best, it's easier to feel confident. Unfortunately, midlife seems to conspire against us, at least by today's cultural standards of "best," with thicker waistlines, more wrinkled skin, and flyaway hair. To help women feel better about their hair, Sonsoles Gonzalez founded Better Not Younger, a haircare brand focused on the changes many women experience as they age. Like Gennev, Better Not Younger is also changing the conversation around women and aging.
