Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill

To work with Dr. Betty and her team go here What if the hormone replacement therapy you're taking is recycling in your body and creating the exact problems you're trying to solve? Most doctors test your hormone levels and prescribe accordingly. But here's what they're missing: it's not just about the hormones you make or the hormones you take – it's about how your unique body packages them, processes them, and eliminates them. And when this goes wrong, you can experience fibroids, unexplained weight gain, crushing fatigue, and worsening symptoms even though your blood tests look "normal."...

Heart disease kills more midlife women than all cancers combined, yet most of us are getting the same five-minute doctor's appointment, the same statin prescription, and the same confusing advice about cholesterol that's been recycled for 70 years.

Dr. Kristine Gravino, a psychologist specializing in midlife women, reveals why one out of two women struggle with anxiety and depression during this phase and it's directly connected to your dropping estrogen levels.

What if the random symptoms you've been told are "all separate" – the hives, exhaustion, brain fog, and digestive chaos – are actually ALL connected through one dysfunctional system in your body that affects 1 in 5 people? When Dr. Tania Dempsey left traditional medicine after being told she wouldn't get bonuses for patients with cholesterol over 200, she discovered something revolutionary: conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, long COVID, and mysterious autoimmune markers might all trace back to the same source: dysfunctional mast cells.

What if the most effective anti-aging tool isn't some skincare in your cabinet but is something that has been scientifically proven for 30 years, studied across 6,000 peer-reviewed research papers, and yet nobody told you about it? What if the reason you haven't heard about it isn't because it doesn't work, but because the science moved faster than the system? 

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Ari Whitten, one of the world's leading experts in photobiomodulation and red light therapy. Ari and I have known each other for nearly two decades. What he's discovered about light, cellular energy, aging, and mitochondrial health has genuinely transformed how I approach my own health. That's why I'm bringing him back to share this information with you.

We're diving deep into topics that matter:

  • Is red light therapy actually scientifically proven, or is it just the latest wellness trend? (Spoiler: 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, 30+ years of research, and now mainstream adoption says it's proven.)

  • How does red light actually work at the cellular level? (Hint: it's not magic, it's mitochondrial biology.)

  • Why are dermatologists still recommending sun avoidance when red light from the sun is protective? (And how do you know which wavelengths actually age you?)

  • Which devices actually work, which ones are a waste of money, and how do you know the difference? (Device selection matters more than most people realize.)

  • How can red light therapy support anti-aging, energy, recovery, sleep, and brain function all at the same time? (It's not separate benefits, it's connected cellular biology.)

  • Why don't doctors talk about this if the science is solid? (The answer reveals a lot about how medicine actually works.)

  • How does diet work synergistically with red light therapy for skin health? (Your vegetables are doing more for sun protection than you realize.)

Your body hasn't evolved to live under artificial lights all day and then in bright LED light all night. It's evolved to sync with the sun. But the sun's effects on your health depend on understanding which wavelengths you're getting and what they actually do. Red light therapy isn't a new invention. It's 30 years of proven science finally becoming mainstream. When you align your light exposure with natural cycles, strategically use red light therapy for specific goals, and support your skin with proper nutrition, you're not just optimizing. You're addressing one of the most fundamental inputs to human health that most people completely overlook.

The science isn't new…public understanding of it is just catching up.
