Whether you're navigating menopause, working through chronic conditions, or simply wanting to age gracefully and intentionally, this show is your sanctuary for science-backed insights, powerful stories, and soul-nourishing inspiration.

So, if you're a woman over 40 or 50 looking to thrive in this next chapter of life — you're in the right place

In today's episode I sit down with Ana Gonzalez Herrera.

Founder & CEO

Hormone University

Ana dedicated 15 years of her life to the corporate world, leading and growing well known Personal Care, Beauty and Wellness corporations worldwide.

She was diagnosed with battling Stage IV Endometriosis in her early 20s, a condition that affects >10% of women that is horrendously painful and difficult to deal with. She was in pain 50% of her time with extreme PMS for over a decade, went through 5 surgeries, infertility, and surgical menopause. A severe side effect from a hormonal treatment inspired her to start her entrepreneurial journey to fulfill her vision of rethinking the women’s wellness space.

Knowing from her personal experience that wellness starts from knowledge, Ana took charge of building and launching Hormone University, the first educational platform focused on hormonal health, aiming to not only raise awareness but also empower women to take control over their hormonal health, to be prepared when they step into the doctor's office, and to get their questions answered.

Inspired by the idea that hormonal wellness is the result of a balanced approach to health and with the naturopathic principles in mind, she launched Glow, a product line that provides a series of effective evidence-based, natural products co-formulated with OBGYNs to help achieve hormonal balance. Glow by Hormone University is available in the USA and Spain.

Ana has been published in over 30 publications as an ardent advocate for fostering unity to combat the stigma surrounding hormonal health.

Her commitment to community, genuine connections, and mutual support drives her mission to build a robust network of individuals who prioritize hormonal well-being. Ana's vision is to empower others with the knowledge and products necessary to take charge of their hormones, rather than allowing hormones to dictate their lives.

With a belief in authenticity and solidarity, Ana strives to create a powerful movement that transcends societal stigmas and empowers individuals to live their lives to the fullest.

In this week's episode, I’m sitting down with two inspiring guests — Joe Berg, the founder of JoBurg Meats, and Jon Engelson, the Chief Strategic Officer — for a fascinating conversation about quality meats, ethical sourcing, and building a brand with purpose.

We’ll explore Joe’s journey to founding JoBurg Meats, what sets their products apart, and how Jon’s strategic vision is helping bring their mission to more conscious consumers.

Whether you're a food lover, a wellness enthusiast, or just curious about what goes into high-quality, responsibly-sourced meat, you won’t want to miss this episode!

🎧 Tune in and join us for a flavorful discussion that goes beyond the plate.

Steak Slices originate from the idea of South African Biltong. Biltong is dry cured meat - never cooked. Centuries ago, the indigenous people of Africa preserved meat in salt, and dried it in the hot African sun. Later, settlers of South Africa evolved this into biltong, cured with the addition of vinegar & spices.

Besides long-lasting satisfying flavor, it's low sodium, low carb, high protein and made with all natural ingredients. Biltong also makes the perfect quick and easy Keto snack!

If you know and love Biltong, you will love Steak Slices - Guaranteed!
