They discuss the realities of visceral fat, why the scale is the worst progress tracker, the connection between carbs and nervous system health, and how overtraining—or doing nothing at all—keeps women stuck. Ami shares her signature Lift Method and her two programs, LIFTED and F@ck the Frump!, designed specifically for midlife women who want real results without burnout.

This conversation is deeply validating, practical, and full of hope for women navigating exhaustion, weight changes, and the emotional toll of midlife.

Topic Covered:

• Why workouts need to change in perimenopause
• Visceral fat, waist-to-hip ratio & real health markers
• How under-eating + overtraining wrecks hormones
• Why carbs matter more than ever after 40
• Body composition vs. weight loss
• The Lift Method: intentional strength, smart nutrition, recovery, community
• Starting small: the magic of 20-minute strength sessions
• Stress, boundaries & burnout in midlife
• Coaching for accountability and confidence
• Removing shame from women’s health journeys

In today’s episode, Lindsey sits down with Dr. Alexandra Gajer, board-certified physician and founder of The Gajer Practice, who specializes in metabolic medicine, hormone balance, and cutting-edge peptide therapies for women.

Dr. Gajer shares her personal journey from residency to Lyme disease, and how that experience reshaped her entire approach to medicine — moving from symptom suppression to root-cause, metabolic, and hormone-focused care.

Together, Lindsey and Dr. Gajer explore:

What peptide therapy is and why it’s becoming a powerful tool for perimenopause & menopause

How peptides support inflammation, metabolism, weight changes, and brain clarity

Why lifestyle still matters — even when using advanced therapies

The emotional burden women carry during perimenopause (shame, isolation, overwhelm)

How personalized care can give women back their vitality and confidence

After 25 years in corporate and hitting a wall of burnout, Nicki left everything she knew to rebuild her health. Breathwork became the tool that brought her back to herself… and now she helps midlife women do the same.

 

In this episode, we talk openly about the exhaustion, anxiety, hot flashes, and chronic stress so many women face during perimenopause — and how the way you breathe can immediately shift your body out of overwhelm.

 

Nicki also shares her own story of menopause at 53 and why midlife women are uniquely vulnerable to adrenal fatigue and cortisol overload.

This conversation feels like a warm exhale. If you’ve been feeling fried, frazzled, or one breath away from a meltdown… this episode is for you.

Guest: Maisie Smith-Lovett, CEO and Founder of MSL Holistic Wellness Coaching


In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Maisie Smith-Lovett, a holistic wellness coach who helps high-achieving women heal their bodies from the inside out. Maisie shares her powerful story of overcoming autoimmune disease, refusing to believe the prognosis that she’d “live and die on medication,” and discovering a path to true healing through emotional release, nervous system regulation, and trauma recovery.

Together, they explore the deep connection between unhealed stress, stored trauma, and chronic symptoms—and how listening to the body’s wisdom can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual freedom. Maisie explains her signature SHIFT Method, a process that helps women release what’s been holding them back so they can step fully into their peace, presence, and power.

The nervous system’s role in healing and self-regulation

Why women often disconnect from their bodies (and how to reconnect)

You’ll also learn 3 simple pillars of support—physical, emotional, and spiritual—that can help you feel steadier and more like yourself again.

* Why perimenopause impacts mood, memory, and emotions so deeply

* How the “endocrine symphony” changes during this season

* The lived experience of emotional symptoms in perimenopause (and why you’re not broken)

* Three simple pillars to feel steadier again: physical, emotional, and spiritual nutrition

* How to reframe perimenopause from a breakdown into a transition

Episode Summary: In this powerful and deeply grounded conversation, Lindsey is joined by naturopath, acupuncturist, and homeopath Dr. Carol Lourie to explore what’s really happening in perimenopause—and how small, intentional choices can help women reclaim energy, balance, and peace of mind. Together, they unpack: ~ Why perimenopause can feel so overwhelming and why preparation matters ~ How the Standard American Diet makes symptoms worse—and what to do instead ~ Why antidepressants and HRT are often overprescribed, and what to consider before using them ~ The importance of comprehensive hormone testing (like the DUTCH test) ~ How to build a personal “self-care toolbox” that actually fits your life Carol shares practical steps you can start today—like rethinking your morning routine, nourishing your body with real food, and learning to say no without guilt. If you’re feeling exhausted, foggy, or disconnected in perimenopause, this episode will help you see that healing doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing what matters with awareness, compassion, and consistency. false full 23 38656658-9bd5-4ab6-baf9-e7dbf0a15903 Menopausal Skin Health with Nancy Reagan In this powerful episode of Reclaim the Pause, Lindsey sits down with Nancy, a skincare expert and early menopause thriver, to explore the intersection of women’s health, skincare, and spirituality.

Together they discuss:

The gaps in medical education around menopause and why women’s health deserves better research and advocacy.

How hormonal changes impact skin health and barrier repair, and why focusing on barrier function—not just “anti-aging”—is key to radiant, healthy skin.

Nancy’s personal journey through cancer and early menopause at 37, and how she rebuilt her health and identity.

The role of spirituality, gratitude, and meditation in transforming trauma and building resilience.

The science behind NAD boosters and barrier-supporting skincare that work with, not against, your skin’s natural function.

✨ This episode is about more than skin—it’s about reclaiming energy, self-worth, and holistic healing in menopause.

It’s bone-deep fatigue.
It’s brain fog that makes simple decisions feel impossible.
It’s the grief of losing who you once were—paired with the pressure to “keep up” like nothing has changed.

In this episode of Reclaim the Pause, we’re diving into:

  • Why autoimmune disease and perimenopause can hit your energy levels so hard
  • The science-backed reasons brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue often worsen in this season
  • How chronic illness can impact your nervous system—and why this matters for energy recovery
  • Mindset shifts that help you reclaim peace, purpose, and self-worth (even when your body feels unpredictable)

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on your body—not as broken, but as your ally in healing—and tools to begin restoring your energy from the inside out.

If this conversation spoke to your heart, I invite you to book a Discovery Call so we can talk about your next steps toward reclaiming energy, clarity, and joy.
