What if the exhaustion, mood swings, or brain fog you’ve been brushing off as “just getting older” were actually something your doctor never told you about? What if you could reclaim your energy, clarity, and joy in the years you thought you’d be slowing down?This week’s episode is one of those conversations that makes you want to take notes, text your girlfriends, and march straight into your next doctor’s appointment with a list of questions.We sat down with our dear friend and women’s health advocate, Dr. Christina Kintop—a fourth-generation chiropractor, nutrition counselor, and truth-teller about menopause—to talk about the real symptoms, the overlooked signs, and why so many women feel invisible in the medical system during this chapter of life.From our first encounters with Chrissy—whether working side-by-side at weddings or connecting in yoga class—we’ve known her as someone who listens deeply and sees the whole person. Today, she brings that same presence and wisdom to a topic that impacts half the population, yet is still underfunded, under-researched, and under-discussed.Key Themes + TakeawaysMenopause can have over 26 recognized symptoms—and it’s not just hot flashes.It takes an average of 14 doctor visits before many women get a diagnosis of perimenopause or menopause.“Common” does not mean “normal”—there are ways to treat and ease symptoms.The link between menopause and heart disease is real, and it’s time the research caught up.Supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes can dramatically improve quality of life.Listening—really listening—is one of the most powerful forms of care.Our Favorite Quotes“Common does not mean normal. Just because it’s happening to a lot of women doesn’t mean you have to live with it.”“I can’t pretend to have all the answers—but I can listen, and we can figure it out together.”“Where money goes, attention flows—and finally, women’s health is getting some.”“Your drive brought you this far. Now it’s time to support your body so it can carry you forward.”Chapter Markers00:00 – Practicing what we preach: Summer rest & grace00:26 – Why we’re bringing back a “best of” episode01:49 – Introducing Dr. Christina Kintop07:08 – Menopause myths, underdiagnosis, and hidden symptoms11:31 – The link between menopause and heart disease15:56 – Burned-out adrenals and how driven women are impacted21:06 – Depression, relationships, and the emotional toll37:55 – How Chrissy works with women in person and via Zoom42:54 – Supplements, nutrition, and what actually works54:18 – Why talking openly changes everythingYour Turn (Reflective CTA)This week’s reflection:“What symptoms have you brushed off as ‘just part of getting older’?
