About this episode

This episode discusses how inflammation affects women during menopause and introduces recovery modalities to alleviate symptoms.

Feeling like your body turned on you in your 40s or 50s? Struggling with fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, and that "inflamed all the time" feeling? This episode might be the missing piece. I'm joined by Jim Davis, owner of Fire & Ice Wellness in Longmont, Colorado. After experiencing their infrared sauna and cold plunge for myself (yes, I did the ice bath!), I had to bring Jim on to break down EXACTLY what's happening in our bodies with these powerful recovery modalities — and why they matter even more during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode we cover: ✅ What "inflam-aging" is and why it hits women so hard in midlife ✅ The best place to start if cold plunging sounds terrifying to you ✅ How sauna, red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and cryo work together ✅ Whether this requires a big time or money commitment to feel results ✅ The unexpected benefit most clients walk away raving about ✅ How these tools shift not just your body — but how you FEEL about yourself This is a must-listen for any woman navigating hormonal changes who wants real, sustainable tools to reduce inflammation and feel like herself again. 🔗 Fire & Ice Wellness…
