    Oct 13 2026
    You might think perimenopause is a 50s problem, but Dr. Remina Panjwani says it can start in your late 30s. She and Gary Brecka go through the early signs, from 3 a.m. wakeups and brain fog to a belly that changes no matter what you eat. They also cover why she prefers the DUTCH test over standard blood work, and how chronic stress and cortisol affect your hormones. Listen to Dr. Remina Panjwani on all your favorite platforms!

    309. How to Test Your Waist-to-Height Ratio
    Oct 1 2026
    You might think being "skinny fat" is just about looking soft under your clothes, but a 2023 study found 26% of normal-weight men and 38% of normal-weight women actually had excess body fat their BMI never showed. The real name for it is normal weight obesity, and your scale, your mirror, and your last physical all miss it. This episode covers the four numbers that actually catch it, and the three things that fix it.
