  • The Scan That Could Save Your Health: Inside the Power of DEXA with Tony Orlando
    Jul 8 2025

    Think the scale tells the whole story? Think again.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down the real reason you might be gaining fat, losing muscle, or missing early signs of bone loss—even if you're eating well and working out.
    The secret? A DEXA scan.

    Join us as we sit down with Tony Orlando, founder of DEXA+ and DEXASCAN.com, and a true pioneer in the body composition and bone density space. With over 25 years of experience, Tony has built one of the largest networks of DEXA providers in the U.S., making precision health testing accessible nationwide.

    We’ll dive into:
    🔍 What a DEXA scan actually tells you (it’s way more than just fat %)
    🧠 Why women in midlife need this data to track progress and protect long-term health
    📉 How declining estrogen impacts fat, muscle, and bone—and how DEXA helps you see it
    💡 How Tony turned his passion for longevity into a movement that’s changing preventive health

    If you’re ready to ditch the scale, get real answers, and take control of your health—this episode is for you.

  • Why Gut Health Matters for Women in Menopause
    Jul 7 2025

    Why Gut Health Matters for Vaginal Health

    Your gut and vagina are more connected than you think.

    💬 In our latest expert interview, we sat down with microbiome specialist Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic to talk all things gut and vaginal health—and why supporting your gut can make a major difference in preventing vaginal infections, maintaining pH balance, and improving overall wellness (yes, including libido 💥).

    Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic is a Clinical Pharmacist and internationally recognized expert in the human microbiome, with a special focus on probiotics and women’s health. She is the author of the Clinical Guide to Probiotic Products Available in Canada, used by healthcare professionals nationwide. Dragana is known for translating complex microbiome science into practical strategies for improving gut, vaginal, and overall health. She frequently speaks at international conferences and serves as an advisor on evidence-based probiotic use and microbiome support.

    Here’s what we learned:

    ✨ A healthy gut microbiome supports a balanced vaginal microbiome
    ✨ Disruptions in gut bacteria (hello antibiotics, stress, poor diet) can throw off vaginal health
    ✨ Probiotics and nutrition play key roles in restoring balance
    ✨ Supporting your gut = supporting your immune system, mood, and hormones

    🧠 Your gut and vagina communicate through the immune system, nervous system, and even the microbiome highway (yep, that’s real).
