In this empowering episode of Bioenergetics Beat, Dr. Betsy Greenleaf—America’s first board-certified female urogynecologist—joins us for an honest, science-backed, and refreshingly rebellious conversation about hormones, menopause, and pelvic health.
Together with host Heather Gray, Dr. Greenleaf breaks down everything you never learned (but should have) about women’s health, from vaginal wellness and hormone myths to the gut-brain connection, stress, and the overlooked truth about perimenopause. Learn why menopause isn’t the end—it’s a second spring—and how addressing sleep, stress, hydration, and gut health is just as important as hormone therapy.
We also explore how bioenergetic frequency technology—like the NIKKI wearable—can support emotional balance, inflammation, and hot flash relief. Dr. Greenleaf shares her own journey into integrative medicine and the exciting inclusion of frequency medicine in academic training programs like Dr. Andrew Weil’s fellowship.
Whether you’re just entering perimenopause, navigating hormone replacement options, or reclaiming your power post-menopause, this episode delivers practical insights and hope for thriving in your most vital years.
