Opt to Thrive is a health and wellness podcast designed to support, educate, inspire, empower and motivate midlife women to live their healthiest, happiest most fulfilled lives. Motivated by her own life experiences and the punch in the face that was the midlife transition, Dr Corina Sims created Opt to Thrive.
Dr Sims is a rural GP Obstetrician with a passion for connecting with and empowering other women to be the best version of themselves. Disappointed with the plethora of contradictory information targeted at perimenopausal and menopausal women and recognising the gap in medicine that has been identified GLOBALLY in managing women going through it she strives to bring evidence based information to those who are searching for the answers.
Listen in every week where on one week you’ll find either a short and sweet episode designed to uplift, inspire and give helpful tips to manage your mind and a longer episode the next created to educate and inform.

Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment - Is It Possible To Become A Morning Person?
In today’s episode, Dr Sims dives into the science of becoming a morning person and shares her personal journey with waking up earlier since hitting the midlife transition (menopause). She talks about chronotypes—our personal preferences for when we feel most awake and productive—and how this affects our sleep and energy levels.
You’ll learn about the impact of irregular sleep patterns (aka social jet lag) on health, and why establishing a consistent sleep-wake routine is key for better overall well-being. If you’ve ever wondered if you can change your chronotype, Dr Sims shares what she found about shifting your habits gradually without going to extremes.
From using natural light to morning exercise, we discuss simple ways to adjust your routine and start your day feeling energized and clear. Tune in to discover how small changes can help you sync with your body’s rhythm and embrace the early mornings!
