Episode Description

Dr. Sarah De La Torre, MD, is a board-certified physician, nationally recognized menopause expert, founder of Lumani Wellness, and women’s health advocate. She focuses on helping women understand their hormones, metabolic health, and longevity during midlife and beyond.


Today, Dr. Sarah joins me for an honest, in-depth conversation about why so many women feel exhausted, unheard, and frustrated with their health, even when they’re “doing everything right.”


We discuss the subtle but powerful signs that traditional healthcare often misses, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Sarah breaks down why these symptoms are frequently dismissed or normalized, and what women should actually be paying attention to.


Dr. Sarah also explains the impact of lifestyle on overall health and highlights one of the most important predictors of longevity for women. We dive into GLP-1 medications, food noise, insulin resistance, inflammation, anxiety, and how to avoid becoming “skinny fat.”


Join us to learn how to navigate perimenopause and menopause with clarity, preserve your energy, and build a health plan that truly supports your body long term.
