Hotflash inc founder and host Ann Marie McQueen talks about the first-ever perimenopause month, Hot Flash Day (courtesy of Stripes) and the annual meeting of The Menopause Society of North America.
She talks about sleep, hot flashes, weird quirks of research; hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy. Some new numbers on how many women in the US are taking hormone therapy (itâs way less than you think) and asks why only estrogen is considered hormone therapy. She talks about three of her best friends, who were transformed by exogenous hormones. And she talks about her own spiritual awakening through menopause, which sounds annoying but hopefully is not.

In this episode, host Ann Marie McQueen tries to explain her long and convoluted relationship to and quest for hormone therapy.

Hotflash inc founder and host Ann Marie McQueen sits down with Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, a leading figure in integrative medicine, known for her unique approach in combining conventional and alternative treatments in addressing chronic illnesses and cancer. Dr Connealy is the founder of the Center for New Medicine and the Cancer Center for Healing in Irvine, California and author of two books: The Cancer Revolution and the Be Perfectly Healthy. She is also co-founder of leading hormone brand, Raena Health.
She talks about why so many people are getting cancer, how to make chemotherapy more effective and less lethal, why prevention needs to be the focus. For Dr Connealy, the question we need to be asking: what is going on with your terrain, and why is it making cancer? Everything from the food we eat to the chemicals we surround ourselves with to the emotional work we arenât doing is causing this. And find out what she thinks our number one risk is â why and what we can do about it. (Itâs probably not what you are thinking)
Dr Connealy wants us all to know that in most cases, cancer is 10 years in the making. She has really good guidance for women considering hormone therapy, explaining the differences in synthetic hormones and the importance of the âorchestraâ, including progesterone and pregnanalone, and more than one kind of estrogen. She explains why there is no one solution that fits all women â even though thatâs what mainstream medicine wants us to believe â and gives guidance on the particular cocktail, with tweaks, that she likes to prescribe. She also gives her take on whether hormone therapy prevents cancer â its worth listening to the end just to hear what she has to say about that â and addresses that ongoing fear women have, which is weighing our fear of breast cancer risk when considering hormone therapy.
Dr Connealy is recognized for her personalized, holistic approach. This episode is nothing short of a masterclass on how to get our inner house in order.
Highlights:
01:56 The importance of personalized medicine
02:07 The rise of chronic diseases
03:09 The need for preventive healthcare
04:44 Challenges in cancer treatment
13:08 The importance of self-care

Listen in as she explains why MSM is her mission, just what happens to our bones and muscles as we get older, and delves into the need for proper diagnosis and preventive measures such as exercise and diet, and the importance of estrogen in maintaining bone health.

Dr Bibi Ayesha Lockhat is a Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) Specialist practicing in the Middle East at Zulal Wellness Resort at China Som â Qatar, the only place in the in the world to be reviving this traditional holistic healing system.
She holds two degrees from The University of The Western Cape (UWC), a Bachelor of Complementary Health Sciences and a Bachelor of Complementary Medicine with a Major in Unani Tibb Medicine.
TAIM dates back to 1025, the Greek philosophers, Muslim physician Ibn Sina and his famous The Canon of Medicine. The crucial difference is the focus on balance over the Western tendency to suppress symptoms.
She tells us what TAIM is all about, how it works with prophetic foods mentioned in Quranic scripture, why itâs crucial in diagnosis and subsequent therapy, and we all might want to learn about how it works based on four humors and six lifestyle factors to fuel physis â our bodyâs own innate ability to heal itself.
She talks about how TAIM relates to, incorporates and differs from other practices, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Auyrveda and Western medicine. And then there is her TAIM-based approach to midlife imbalances of the body and acceleration of inflammatory process â for men in andropause and women in perimenopause â using lifestyle interventions, which is dramatically different that what we hear in North America. (She might have used the phrase âtunnel visionâ.)
She believes TAIM as crucially important in both diagnosis and subsequent therapy and is well-versed and knowledgeable on several âhands-onâ therapies, such as massage, acupressure, aromatherapy, and therapeutic cupping. She enjoys offering and treating patients/guests with an extensive range of natural herbal medicines registered for specific ailments.
