We all need a way to bring ourselves into better coherence, better emotional and mental status, where we feel in the zone." — Deanna Minich, PhD

If you've been feeling like your body is changing faster than you can keep up, this episode is for you.

Our Chief Science Officer, Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD, joined Dr. Mariza Snyder on the Energized podcast to break down the missing link in perimenopause and why rebuilding your energy, resilience, and hormonal harmony starts with understanding the incredible intelligence of your own endocrine system.

In this episode, they cover:

✨ Uncommon signs you're entering perimenopause
💪 Why musculoskeletal strength matters more than you think
🧠 What's really happening with your hormones
🌿 How to balance lifestyle changes with HRT
❤️ Finding your most authentic self in midlife and beyond

Your hormones have wisdom. It's time to listen.

The men in your life are managing stress, recovery, and energy every day - whether they talk about it or not.

These patterns shape how they feel, how they perform, and how they recover over time.

Grounding is one simple practice that has been studied in relation to circulation, recovery, and nervous system response.
It doesn’t require a major change.

Just a few minutes outside. Barefoot. Consistent enough to become familiar.

Sometimes support doesn’t come from adding more.

It comes from making something simple easier to do. That might mean suggesting it. Or just doing it together.

Step outside. Stand in the grass. Stay for a few minutes.

No explanation needed.

Women experience higher rates of inflammatory and autoimmune-related conditions, which can influence how the body responds to stress and environmental inputs over time.

Grounding, or earthing, is being studied as one way to support how the body regulates these responses.

Direct contact with the Earth has been associated with changes in inflammatory signaling, cortisol patterns, and sleep quality. These are all systems that play a role in how the body adapts and recovers, particularly during periods of hormonal transition.

For many women, the goal isn’t to override what the body is doing, but to support how it responds.

This is where something simple can become meaningful.
Standing barefoot outside. Sitting on the ground. Spending a few minutes in direct contact with natural surfaces.

Not as a trend, but as a way to reconnect with an input the body has historically relied on.
If you’re open to it, consider trying it for a few minutes each day and noticing how you feel.

Could grounding become part of your daily ritual?

Rituals do not require adding more to your day.

They change how you experience what is already there.

The same action can either be something you move through automatically or something that supports you, depending on how you approach it.

What creates that shift is intention, presence and consistency.

For some, that can be as simple as starting the day with a glass of water and Original , turning a basic habit into a moment of support and awareness.

Over time, these moments begin to shape how your body responds, how your mind processes, and how you move through your day.

This is where rituals become part of your health.

Not because they are complex, but because they are repeatable, personal and grounded in real moments.

If you are open to it, start with one.

Not something new. Something that already exists.

And see what changes when you approach it differently.

Hydration isn’t only about how much water you drink. It’s about how your body is able to use it.

Fluids move through the body alongside minerals — helping regulate balance at a cellular level.
For some, small daily rituals can support that process.

A glass of water. A pinch of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt. A moment of consistency.

Not as a quick fix — but as part of a system the body already relies on.

Before anything you breathe in reaches the lungs, it passes through the mucous membrane, a lining that helps trap and clear particles from the airways.

This process depends on the mucociliary clearance system, which relies on mucus maintaining the right balance to be able to capture particles while still being cleared efficiently through coordinated cilia movement.

Mucus also acts as a selective barrier, helping limit the movement of particles within the airways.
For this system to function well, the conditions of the airway matter. Hydration, mineral balance, and the surrounding environment all influence how effectively particles can be trapped and cleared.
Salt is one factor that can influence these conditions.

Research has shown that it can affect how mucus functions as a barrier, supporting its ability to trap particles while still allowing for effective clearance.

This helps explain why practices such as saline rinses, neti pots, salt inhalation, and salt-rich environments have been used to support respiratory health.

In practice, this can look like:
• Using saline rinses to support the sinus environment
• Supporting airway conditions with salt inhalation
• Being mindful of environmental factors such as dry air

As the days grow longer after the equinox, we naturally welcome more light. But health does not come from light alone.

Darkness plays an equally important role, especially in a modern environment where artificial light is nearly constant.

Our circadian rhythms, the internal clocks within every cell, developed in synchrony with natural cycles of light and dark. In true darkness, the pineal gland produces melatonin - not only to support sleep, but to help regulate hormonal timing, immune function, cellular repair and metabolic health.

Without adequate darkness, this signalling can be disrupted. Exposure to artificial light at night, particularly blue light, can interfere with melatonin production and disrupt the circadian rhythm.

This is sometimes described as "darkness deficiency", not a lack of light, but a lack of the conditions the body depends on to regulate itself.

In recent years, much of the focus has been on increasing light exposure. But restoring darkness is just as important to maintaining balance within the system.

Supporting melatonin levels, particularly as natural production declines with age, is most effective when it mirrors the body's natural production, typically in small, physiological amounts that align with the circadian rhythm rather than overriding it.

In Do You Have a Darkness Deficiency?, ND Catherine Darley explores this relationship in more depth, along with ways to better understand your own exposure and rhythm.

The spring equinox marks a point of balance — equal light and dark — and the beginning of a seasonal shift.

What’s easy to miss is that this same pattern isn’t just happening around you — it’s happening within you, too.

In your cycle, the follicular (pre-ovulatory) phase begins after your period.

During this time, estrogen rises, energy returns, and your body begins preparing for what comes next.

This movement—from inward to outward, from rest to growth — isn’t random.

It’s part of a larger pattern your body follows across time.

You may recognize it in your cycle.
You may have experienced it in earlier stages of life.
And you may be feeling it now—physically, emotionally, or mentally.

Understanding this doesn’t change what your body is doing — but it can change how you experience it.

Less confusion. More awareness.

A clearer sense of what’s happening — and why.
