PAUZ Grab Life by the Ovaries
Welcome to PAUZ-Grab Life by the Ovaries: The Podcast — your go-to space for real talk, expert insight, and evidence-based guidance on navigating midlife with strength, clarity, and confidence. Hosted by Dr. Natalie Perkins, PhD in Public Health, health behavior change expert, and founder of PAUZ Health, this show brings together top experts in women’s health, hormone therapy, fitness, nutrition, mindset, sexual health, hormone therapy, and more—because thriving in your 40s, 50s, and beyond means more than managing symptoms. It’s about redefining what’s possible.
Whether you’re trying to understand perimenopause, lift heavier, sleep better, get your groove back in the bedroom, or finally step into the version of yourself you’ve always wanted to be—this is where the transformation begins. Smart, science-backed, authentic, vulnerable, and never judgmental. Let’s rewrite the rules of aging, together.

What happens when two of the most no-nonsense voices in women’s health get together?
A refreshing, funny, and deeply honest conversation that cuts through the noise.
In this episode, we sit down with Amanda Thebe, fitness and women’s health expert and author of Menopocalypse, and Abby Langer, RD, dietitian, author of Good Food, Bad Diet, and one of nutrition’s most trusted truth-tellers.
Together, we unpack some of the biggest pet peeves in women’s health and social media—from diet culture dressed up as “wellness,” to fear-based menopause messaging, to misinformation that keeps women stuck, confused, and blaming themselves.
We also tackle the big question:
👉 Are we actually moving the needle on women’s body image—or just repackaging old pressures in new language?
Amanda and Abby share candid perspectives on:
- The harm of wellness trends that oversimplify complex midlife changes
- Why strength, nourishment, and self-trust matter more than aesthetics
- What social media gets wrong about menopause, weight, and aging
- How women can reclaim agency over their health without chasing perfection
Expect laughter, sharp insights, and a whole lot of relief as myths are dismantled and common sense is restored.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone tired of the noise—and ready for evidence-based, compassionate, and realistic conversations about women’s health in midlife and beyond.
