My Guest:

Dr. Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. She holds special certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

She lectures frequently on those topics and shares the secret behind the ebb and flow of intimacy as she demystifies the fascinating hormonal changes over time. She will help you discover how the “love hormone”, Oxytocin can breathe life into your relationship, and how Cortisol can take it away - and how the delicate balancing act of those hormones can reignite your libido and support a healthy relationship, most importantly the one you have with yourself.

Optimal weight health in menopause isn’t about eating less or exercising more—it’s about finally understanding what your body has been trying to tell you. 

If you’ve been frustrated with stubborn weight gain, low energy, or conflicting advice, this conversation will feel like a reset. We’re breaking down the truth about GLP-1, gut health, hormones, and why your results may have stalled despite doing everything “right.” 

This episode shifts the focus from quick fixes to a personalized strategy that actually works with your body, not against it. Because optimal weight health in menopause starts when you stop guessing and start listening.

My Guest:

Ashley Koff, RD, is an acclaimed weight-health expert, “Hollywood’s Leading Dietitian” featured in InStyle and practitioner for more than 25 years. Koff is leading a transformative movement in personalized nutrition, turning “better, not perfect” choices into practical, sustainable strategies that deliver real outcomes. 

She is the founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP) and author of USA Today bestselling Your Best Shot, which introduces weight-health hormones (GLP-1, GIP, CCK, PYY) as the regulators of weight health, offering the first-ever assessment of their function and a personalized optimization system—shot or not.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:


[00:02:35] What does optimal weight management really mean in menopause?


[00:07:39] Are you ahead of your time and getting pushback for your approach?

You’re doing all the things. 

They don’t work. 

You’ve changed things. 

That doesn’t work either. 

If it seems you’re going through a revolving door of symptoms and trying to juggle responses but failing, this is for you. 

It’s not just that exercise needs change. 

Periodically, by the way. 

Every quarter during perimenopause, or at least bi-annually if you’re experiencing significant changes, you have to look closely at whether your exercise is causing inflammation or supporting muscle that will help you deal with it. It doesn’t matter if you’re lifting, you can still be in a moment of significant storm that results in your inflammation being up when recovery isn’t keeping up. 

We discuss the ways women doing all the things can still fail you if you’re not getting the foundation you need at the place you need it. We discuss cellular health, liver, detox and the key part these play in whether your lifting, walking and intervals will work. 

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start seeing results, this conversation will change how you approach doing all the things.

My Guest:

As Co-Owner and Chief Brand Officer of BodyBio, Jess Kane Berman leads brand strategy, education, and global growth, shaping the company’s voice at the intersection of cellular health, environmental wellness, and evidence-based medicine.

Jess blends science-backed insights with practical application, empowering women to move away from doing more and toward doing what’s right for them. Passionate about cutting through confusion, she helps women simplify their approach to fitness, nutrition, and overall health so they can feel stronger, energized, and back in control.
