Most people have never heard of superoxide dismutase, even though it plays a critical role in how the body handles stress at a cellular level. That gap in understanding leaves a lot of people focused on surface-level health while missing what is actually driving aging, inflammation, and recovery behind the scenes.In this episode, I sit down with François Vix, President and CEO of GliSODin, who brings over 20 years of experience in the beauty and health industry, including work with brands like L’Oréal, Lancôme, and Neutrogena. We break down what oxidative stress really is and why it matters more than most people realize. We talk through how the body produces energy and the damage that can come with it, why recovery slows down over time, and how this connects to things like skin health, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. We also get into the role of superoxide dismutase, how it supports cellular balance, and why supporting your body internally can change how you feel and function day to day.We’ll explore:✔️ What oxidative stress is and how it impacts your cells✔️ Why the body needs superoxide dismutase to stay alive✔️ How free radicals contribute to aging and inflammation✔️ Why recovery becomes more difficult as you get older✔️ The connection between internal health, skin, and overall functionIf you want to better understand what is happening inside your body and how to support it long term, this episode gives you a clearer picture. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how your body handles stress and what actually influences how you feel over time.What is SOD and why it mattersFrançois Voix backgroundOrigin of SODMedical use of SODWhy François got interestedBuilding the company and product developmentWhat oxidative stress actually isHow oxidative stress impacts aging and diseaseSOD production, lifestyle, and recovery with ageHormonesEffects on energy, sleep, and overall functionSkin diseaseLifestyle changesFinal takeawayFrançois research website🎧 Hit Subscribe or Follow so you never miss an episode.

Many women move through life focused on symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or weight changes without realizing there may be a deeper pattern driving them. Conversations around hormones often center on fertility or menopause timing, leaving out the bigger picture of how ovarian health influences nearly every system in the body. This gap can make it harder to connect the dots between what you feel day to day and what may actually be happening beneath the surface.In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Kiran Kumar to explore the role of ovarian health in overall longevity and why it matters far beyond reproduction.

Jennifer shares how she discovered that belly dancing, something she had been teaching for years, could naturally support pelvic floor strength and function.

Many people think of skincare as cosmetic, something separate from hormones, stress, or overall health. Yet our skin is deeply connected to our nervous system and immune response. What we apply daily may influence far more than appearance, especially when it comes to inflammation, hormonal signaling, and long-term wellbeing.In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Jody Scott, CEO and co-founder of Green Goo, to explore the powerful connection between skin, the nervous system, and hormones. Drawing from her background in health psychology and psycho neuroimmunology, Jody explains how certain conventional ingredients can act as endocrine disruptors, how they may trigger stress responses in the body, and why nourishing the skin barrier matters.

Many women are told they have “estrogen dominance” and immediately assume their estrogen is too high. Others experience bloating, breast tenderness, stubborn weight changes, or mood shifts and are left wondering what is happening in their bodies. The confusion often comes from not understanding that hormone balance is about ratios, clearance, and environmental influences.In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down what estrogen dominance actually means and why it is frequently misunderstood. She explains the dynamic relationship between estrogen and progesterone, how perimenopause can quietly shift that balance, and why symptoms can show up even when levels appear “normal.” She also explores how liver detoxification, elimination, and everyday chemical exposures can influence hormone signaling and how to approach these factors without fear or overwhelm.We’ll explore:✔️ What estrogen dominance really means (and what it doesn’t)✔️ The difference between high estrogen and low progesterone✔️ How liver function and elimination impact hormone balance✔️ The role of xenoestrogens and practical ways to reduce exposure✔️ Simple, sustainable strategies to support detoxificationIf you’ve been feeling off in your body or trying to piece together confusing hormone symptoms, this episode brings clarity and direction.

Many women find themselves navigating changes in their skin, mood, confidence, and energy as they move through different hormonal phases of life. Yet so often, aging is framed as something to fight rather than something to understand. This can leave women feeling disconnected from their bodies and unsure how to care for themselves in a way that feels empowering rather than reactive.In this episode, Dr. Miranda sits down with Dr. Natalya Borakowski, a naturopathic physician specializing in women’s health and aesthetic medicine, to explore the relationship between hormones, self-image, and aging. Together, they unpack how perimenopause and hormonal shifts influence everything from mood and skin changes to self-perception and confidence. They also discuss the powerful role education plays in helping women make informed choices about aesthetic treatments, hormone support, and lifestyle foundations.Dr. Natalya shares why aesthetic treatments are simply tools, how chasing youth is often about chasing familiarity, and why cultivating self-trust is essential during transitional phases like perimenopause. The conversation also dives into progesterone, estrogen, GABA, dopamine, and serotonin, explaining how these shifts can influence mood, internal dialogue, and how we see ourselves day to day.We’ll explore:✔️ Why women today are aging in front of the camera and how that impacts self-image✔️ The difference between empowered aesthetic choices and fear-based decisions✔️ How perimenopause affects mood, skin, sleep, and the internal critic✔️ Why lifestyle foundations like sleep, nutrition, and movement matter before adding supplements or treatments✔️ How to reconnect with your body, track your cycle, and build self-trust through hormonal transitionsIf you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like you didn’t recognize yourself, or wondered how to move through aging with confidence and clarity, this episode offers insight and reassurance.

Many people move through life feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected without realizing how much their nervous system is shaping those experiences. When the nervous system is dysregulated, it becomes harder to think clearly, make decisions, and stay connected in relationships, even when intentions are good.In this episode, Dr. Miranda sits down with Dr. Stephanie Bacon, an educator and nervous system regulation expert, to explore how nervous system regulation impacts behavior, decision-making, and connection across every area of life.
