September 23, 2026 • 2:00 PM PT Your health, sexuality and pleasure don’t have an expiration date. I’m honored to welcome Dr. Somi Javaid, founder of HerMD, to Your Best Life on the HealthyLife.Net Radio Network for a candid conversation about women’s health, menopause, HRT, sexual health, libido, orgasm and pleasure. Our conversation was inspired by Sex in Menopause, the documentary that brought us together. The film features nine women sharing their personal experiences and

Today, I love seeing decades of research help validate my work. Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill brings together extensive research on hypnosis, sexuality and the brain, providing fascinating insight i

In the mid-1990s, I wrote Taking Charge of Your Changes: The Woman’s Guide and Workbook for Menopause Transition. It was created to accompany a supplement program for a planned infomercial. As part of the project, I interviewed more than 50 women. Nearly all shared difficult, often dismissive experiences with their medical doctors. Ultimately, the infomercial never moved forward. At the time, menopause was not considered an appropriate topic for mass media. It was viewed as t

Is it just a senior moment — or could it be something more? Many people are surprised to learn that there are several types of dementia, each with different causes, symptoms, and progression. Understanding the differences can make a significant impact on early detection, treatment, and support.

Safer Internet Day is February 10. I spent 2002–2020 working in online child safety, even spearheading the award-winning 'Restricted to Adult' (RTA) website label almost 20 years ago ( rtalabel.org ).

To all my fellow Clinical Hypnotherapists—and to the clients whose lives have been positively changed through hypnosis—happy World Hypnosis Day ! I have to say, I love the internet. We now have access to an endless world of information (yes, some of it questionable). Remember when research meant pulling out encyclopedias or heading to the library to scroll through microfiche? We’ve come a long way. And apparently, now we have days for everything. Case in point: World Hypnosi
