    Ep. 174 - Seeking Your Own Gaze: Reclaiming Confidence and Health in Menopause with Kim Casaburi
    Jun 10 2025
    In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Kim Casaburi, co-founder of Serotonin Centers, esthetician, and passionate menopause wellness advocate, for a powerful and empowering conversation about reclaiming midlife health through hormone optimization and functional medicine. After facing years of unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and emotional struggles, Kim shares how her search for answers led her to hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—a turning point after being dismissed by traditional medical professionals. She opens up about the medical gaslighting many women face and how she found her vitality again through functional, whole-body care. Kim also dives deep into the connection between hormones and skin health, sharing why aesthetic treatments like microneedling and HydraFacials fall short when hormones are out of balance—likening it to “pouring water into a bucket with a hole.” She explains why testosterone is not just for men and how it supports women’s confidence, energy, and emotional resilience. Together, Dr. Lovely and Kim explore the need to shatter outdated medical narratives around menopause, embrace personalized care, and prioritize thriving—not just surviving—in midlife and beyond. What You’ll Hear: Kim’s personal journey through misdiagnosis and healing The overlooked impact of hormone imbalance on skin and vitality Testosterone: the misunderstood hormone women need too How Serotonin Centers blend HRT, aesthetics, and wellness coaching The stigma around menopause in conventional medicine Why hormone health is a cornerstone of longevity A call to action for women to own their needs and advocate for themselves You can learn more about Kim Casaburi and the services offered at Serotonin Centers by visiting www.serotonincenters.com. Offerings include hormone optimization, PRP microneedling, IV therapy, HydraFacials, and more.. Final thoughts from Kim: “Stand up straight. Stop hiding your pain. And own your needs.” Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. Thank you to our sponsors for this episode: 🌱 Ready to level up your nutrition?

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by Lisa Kilgour—Registered Holistic Nutritionist, TEDx speaker, and author of Undieting: Freedom from the Bewildering World of Fad Diets—for a compassionate and eye-opening conversation about the gut-brain connection and why most diets are set up to fail, especially for women in midlife. Lisa shares her personal health journey, from musician to holistic nutritionist, and unpacks the deep relationship between our gut, brain, and emotional well-being. Together, she and Dr. Lovely explore why bioindividuality matters, what cravings are actually telling us, and how to rebuild trust with our bodies after years of diet culture messaging.

Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why diets fail: your body isn’t broken, just bioindividual What cravings really mean—and why they’re not a weakness The truth about protein needs and why 150g/day isn’t for everyone How carbs support hormones, sleep, and energy in midlife The deeper harm of diet culture and why strength matters more than thinness You can find more about Lisa Kilgour at lisakilgour.com.

  • Ep. 172 - Confused About Protein? Clearing Up Protein Optimization with Angelo Keely

    Ep. 172 - Confused About Protein? Clearing Up Protein Optimization with Angelo Keely
    May 27 2025

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology, and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women’s health around perimenopause and menopause.

    In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Angelo Keely, nutrition and protein optimization enthusiast. Together, they dive into the powerful, science-backed role of protein and amino acids in supporting women’s health—especially in midlife and beyond.

    Angelo unpacks why protein needs actually increase with age, particularly for women going through menopause. From fighting muscle loss (sarcopenia) to supporting bone health, metabolism, and mood, getting enough high-quality protein is essential—but often overlooked.

    You’ll learn smart strategies to meet your protein goals without overeating, the key differences between protein powders and essential amino acids (EAAs), and how targeted supplements like creatine and EAAs can dramatically boost muscle and cognitive health—even without intense workouts.

    They also address the risks of rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Zepbound), and how pairing these with resistance training and amino acid support can help preserve lean mass and vitality.

    Topics We Cover in This Episode:

    • Why women over 40 need more protein, not less

    • How sarcopenia sneaks in—and how to stop it

    • High-protein food tips: egg whites, Greek yogurt, lean meats & more

    • EAAs vs. protein powder: what your body really absorbs

    • NASA studies, amino acids & maintaining muscle without exercise

    • Creatine for women: not just for gym bros

    • GLP-1s & supporting strong muscles when taking it

    • Simple, sustainable tips for strong, energized aging

    You can find more about Angelo and KION and about the Aminos product we speak about in this epsiode by visiting getkion.com/lovely (and there is a 20% off code - LOVELY)

She is speaking to the topics of women’s health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week’s episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Kim Vopni, certified fitness professional, menopause support practitioner, and founder of The Buff Muff Method, for a refreshingly candid conversation about pelvic floor health—the topic no one talks about but every woman needs to know. Known as The Vagina Coach, Kim shares how an eye-opening moment in sixth grade sparked her passion for pelvic wellness, leading to a global mission to educate women on the foundation of core strength, sexual function, and continence. Forget the outdated “just do Kegels” advice. Kim explains why pelvic floor training should be holistic and dynamic—connecting breath, posture, and real-life movement. She and Dr. Lovely also dive into the challenges of prolapse, incontinence, pelvic pain, and how menopause magnifies these issues. Most importantly, they discuss effective, non-surgical solutions and why pelvic floor physiotherapy should be routine care for women everywhere. What You’ll Hear: Kim’s journey to becoming The Vagina Coach Why “tight” isn’t the goal—rethinking pelvic floor strength Pelvic dysfunction: common but fixable The Buff Muff Method: beyond basic Kegels How menopause affects your pelvic health Non-surgical solutions (PT, pessaries & more) Why pelvic health deserves mainstream attention You can find more about Kim Vopni at www.vaginacoach.com, explore her Buff Muff Method at www.buffmuff.com, and follow her on Instagram @vaginacoach.

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week’s episode, Dr. Lovely sits down with Katie Beecher—medical and emotional intuitive, licensed professional counselor, and author of Heal from Within—for a deeply personal and empowering conversation about healing, self-trust, and the intersection of intuition and women’s health. Katie shares how a near-death experience as a teen led her to embrace her psychic gifts and begin a lifelong journey of intuitive healing. Drawing from over 30 years of experience, she explains what it means to be a medical intuitive and how she uncovers the root causes of physical and emotional challenges. She also opens up about living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), the common overlap with neurodivergence and empathy, and why fibromyalgia is often a misdiagnosis for misunderstood women. From menopause as a spiritual awakening to the role of energetic boundaries in self-protection, Katie’s insights offer a refreshing lens on aging, healing, and the power of listening to your body’s wisdom. Her take on hormone therapy is bold, honest, and empowering—proclaiming, “You’ll pry my estrogen patch from my cold, dead hands!” In This Episode – The Intuition Edition: What a medical intuitive actually does—and how Katie channels health insights with no prior info How intuitive art can reveal emotional blocks and healing paths The surprising connection between hypermobility, empathy, and neurodivergence Why many women with EDS are misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia How menopause is not an ending—but a powerful rebirth Her unique take on dementia as a spiritual and energetic transition How to protect your energy and honor your intuition in a chaotic world Katie’s message is one of radical self-trust, fierce self-love, and owning your personal power—especially in midlife and beyond.

    Ep. 167 - Weight Management Tools for Menopause with Sarah Kennedy
    Apr 22 2025
    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. Today I welcome Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, for an insightful conversation demystifying weight management and appetite modulation, particularly in the context of perimenopause and menopause. Discover the physiological changes women experience at midlife, the often-frustrating weight gain, and the truth behind cravings and willpower. Key Discussion Points: The Menopause Weight Struggle is Real: Many women experience frustrating weight gain during perimenopause, with the SWAN study indicating an average gain of 22 pounds. Often, the advice given is simply to eat less, which overlooks significant physiological shifts.Physiological Changes at Midlife: Understand the impact of dropping estrogen levels, decreasing metabolism, changes in fat distribution (visceral fat), and increased insulin resistance during perimenopause.The Myth of Willpower: Learn why hunger and eating are primal, biologically controlled instincts originating in the hypothalamus. Stress, hormones, lack of sleep, and alcohol can easily override frontal lobe willpower.The Importance of Protein and Muscle Mass: Maintaining muscle mass is crucial during menopause to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. Ensure adequate protein intake (around 120 grams for post-menopausal/perimenopausal women is suggested) and engage in resistance exercise. This is especially important when using one of the weight-loss injectables.Sarah Kennedy's Story: Sarah shares her personal journey of yo-yo dieting and how Calocurb (a GLP-1 activator) has positively changed her relationship with food. Her background in R&D for a major dairy company also highlights her passion for protein and muscle health.Hope for Post-Menopause: Sarah offers an encouraging perspective, sharing that she is the same size now as she was at 25 and feels at peace. Many women find that life gets better on the other side of menopause. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the physiological factors influencing weight during menopause and explores a natural, scientifically-backed approach to appetite modulation with a GLP-1 activator like Calocurb. It emphasises that hunger is not simply a matter of willpower and offers hope and practical strategies for managing weight and cravings at midlife and beyond.
