Your body is incredibly smart. Every time you eat, it gets to work breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and turning it into energy so you can think, move, and function.

But what your body needs shifts over time. In perimenopause and menopause, those needs change in ways that might surprise you....

Understanding insulin resistance and how to manage it can be crucial for maintaining health ...

Episode Description:

Changing your health habits isn’t just about following a new meal plan or committing to a workout routine—it’s about breaking old patterns that have been ingrained for years.

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
