    Episode #65 - Bone Health in Perimenopause: The Truth About Calcium, Hormones & Strength Training

    Welcome to episode 65 of Antigravity Wellness!Bone health in perimenopause isn’t just about calcium—it’s about three key pillars: nutrition, hormones, and stimulus (strength training). In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith breaks down what women need to know about preserving bone density and preventing osteoporosis before it starts.She explains that women begin losing bone mass as early as age 30, and this process accelerates during perimenopause due to declining estrogen levels. While walking is beneficial for overall health, it is not enough on its own to build or maintain bone density. Progressive strength training is essential for creating the stimulus your bones need to stay strong.Dr. Nicole emphasizes that true prevention is a full-body approach, including optimizing hormones, improving nutrition, managing stress, prioritizing sleep, and incorporating resistance training into your weekly routine.The goal is not just stronger bones—it’s maintaining independence, strength, and quality of life as you age.Freebies: Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!

    Welcome to episode 60 of Antigravity Wellness!In this raw, behind-the-scenes episode, Dr. Nicole Smith shares an honest moment from her journey of finishing her book on perimenopause and midlife health.

    Episode #53 - Ferritin & Fatigue: The Most Overlooked Lab in Women’s Health

    Welcome to episode 53 of Antigravity Wellness!

    Episode #52 - Understanding Midlife Hormones, Real Symptoms & Real Solutions

    Welcome to episode 52 of Antigravity Wellness!In this live “Open Office” session, Dr. Nicole Smith discusses women’s hormone health and the very real physiologic shifts that occur in perimenopause and menopause. She explains why many women over 35 experiencing fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, sleep disruption, weight gain, and worsening PMS are often dismissed—even though their symptoms are valid and biologically driven.Dr. Nicole emphasizes that symptoms vary widely and that hot flashes are not required for hormone changes to be happening. She shares her root-cause, functional medicine approach to care, focusing on understanding interconnected systems rather than simply labeling symptoms as “normal aging.”She also announces the expansion of her practice to include conservative, natural-looking Botox and hyaluronic acid filler treatments, along with Botox for tension headaches and migraines—bridging inside-out health with aesthetic confidence.The episode concludes with the introduction of her upcoming book:You’re Not Crazy: Why Women Over 40 Feel Exhausted, Gain Weight, and Are Told It’s Normal — and What to Do About ItInspired by both her personal journey and her patients’ stories, the book challenges the narrative that midlife decline is inevitable. Dr. Nicole invites listeners to join a small book club to help shape the final manuscript and reinforces her core message:Midlife is not decline—it’s a transition that deserves validation, understanding, and support. Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!

    Welcome to episode 51 of Antigravity Wellness!In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith breaks down three symptoms many women over 35 assume are just “part of getting older” — but are actually signals from the body that something deeper needs attention.• Exhaustion despite doing everything right – When sleep, exercise, and clean eating still don’t restore your energy. • Weight gain around the middle – Why hormonal shifts, stress load, and metabolic changes drive abdominal fat storage in midlife. • Worsening PMS or anxiety – How fluctuating estrogen and progesterone impact mood, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience.Dr. Nicole explains why these changes aren’t character flaws or discipline issues — they’re physiological shifts that deserve support, not shame.If this sounds like you, your body isn’t broken.

    Episode #48 - Midlife Health from the Root: Functional Medicine, Hormones & Preventing Disease Before It Starts

    Welcome to episode 48 of Antigravity Wellness! In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith reframes midlife health through a functional medicine lens—focusing on optimizing interconnected systems before symptoms turn into diagnosable disease.Join us as we explore why midlife weight gain is not a willpower issue but a hormonal and stress-driven signal, how declining estrogen and rising adrenal load shift fat storage to the abdomen, and why visceral fat carries serious metabolic and inflammatory risks. Dr. Nicole explains how estrogen loss increases long-term risks for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, dementia, and certain cancers—even in women who feel “mostly fine.”This episode also breaks down why quick fixes like GLP-1 medications may miss the root cause, when reverse dieting can help restore metabolic function after chronic restriction, and how perimenopausal hormone shifts drive symptoms like acne, oily skin, and chin hair. Dr. Nicole highlights the growing role of adrenal hormone precursors as ovarian output declines and discusses supportive strategies—including lifestyle foundations and targeted options like Vitex and DIM—for women in early perimenopause. Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!
