In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Ep #133: Defy Aging with Nutrition & Supplements in Perimenopause & Menopause with Dr. Greg Kelly 44:50

In this sponsored interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of Morphus, discusses senolytics with Dr. Gregory Kelly - Director of Product Development at Qualia Life Sciences, naturopathic physician, and author of "Shape Shift." Women in perimenopause and menopause should explore the benefits of senolytics for cellular aging because of the impact on their menopausal symptoms and overall health. During menopause, there's an accelerated accumulation of senescent cells (zombie cells) in the body, which can trigger inflammation, joint pain, and other age-related issues that make menopausal symptoms more challenging to manage. Understanding these changes helps women take steps to help them feel better and improve their long-term health. Senolytics are used only a couple of days a month, but the benefits can be felt, especially as shown by the studies done on joint pain. Key Points: Explore how cellular aging affects women during perimenopause and menopause. When cells have trouble producing energy and the body's repair cells decline, menopausal symptoms can become more severe. Discover what senescent cells ("zombie cells") are and why they accumulate more after menopause. Learn how senolytic compounds can help remove accumulated senescent cells contributing to joint pain and other issues. Understand why an intermittent approach to senolytics (2 days per month) is more effective than daily supplementation. Get practical tips for using senolytics safely and effectively during your menopause journey.

In this episode, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, Educator, and co-founder of Morphus, talks with Dr. Annina Burns from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding menopause research. Andrea describes her experience at the Menopause Society's Annual Conference in September, where she presented posters on the Morphus research surveys that will be featured in the journal Menopause in December. She found Dr. Burns' panel discussion at the event impressive. She wanted to explore how research at the NIH is conducted and how they focus on women's health, perimenopause, and menopause. Key Topics Discussed: NIH's Role and Research: The NIH is the largest biomedical research funder globally, with a $50 billion annual budget. It supports extramural (external) and intramural (internal) research. In FY23, NIH spent $56 million on menopause-related research across 14 institutes. Types of Research Conducted Various types of research include clinical trials, surveys, and intervention studies focusing on different health conditions. Specific areas of focus include brain health during menopause and the impact of menopausal symptoms on chronic disease risks like diabetes and heart disease. Lifestyle and Nutrition Insights Dr. Burns emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise in managing menopausal symptoms. The Mediterranean diet is highlighted for its benefits on brain health, heart health, and diabetes prevention. Resistance training is crucial for maintaining muscle mass and bone health during menopause. Research Gaps and Future Directions There is a need for longitudinal studies to understand the long-term health trajectory of women entering menopause. More research is needed on conditions like PCOS and their impact during menopause. Conclusion: The episode underscores the importance of comprehensive menopause research to improve women's health outcomes. Visit https://www.womenshealth.gov/menopause to learn more.
