About this episode

The episode discusses a science-based approach to hormones, weight, and aging, focusing on perimenopause and related health strategies.

In part two of a conversation on the Evolving Wellness Podcast, the host and Dr. Sarah Pugh answer audience questions and discuss high-end versus low-cost PEMF beds, why signal quality matters, and concerns about plugging devices into the wall, grounding sheets, and EMF anxiety. They compare far-infrared BioMAT effects on cellular water and exclusion zone water with red light panels, and talk about adapting to EMF exposures during travel, airports, and saunas while using blue blockers and protective clothing. They explore differences in vitamin D and melanin responses at various UVIs, peptides such as melanotan (including dosing and reconstitution risks), and the importance of foundations and testing—especially cortisol curves and metabolic markers—in perimenopause support. The episode also covers cautious use of herbs and supplements, behavior strategies for cravings, cannabis-related hunger, influencer discernment, and a brief discussion of cholesterol as a useful molecule best interpreted in context. — Links Mentioned in the video: Dr. Sara Pugh’s Substack - https://substack.com/@busysuperhuman Sarah Kleiner's Substack - ⁠https://substack.com/@sarahkleinerwellness⁠ Free…
