Perimenopause, Hormones & Feeling Like Yourself Again with Experts Dr. Azin Shah & Kavita Sahai
5/5/202654 min
Today I welcome wellness advocate Kavita Sahai, founder of Vibe Tribes, along with Dr.Azin Shah Shaw, a gynecologist and urogynecologist specializing in perimenopause and menopause, for an honest and empowering conversation about women’s health, hormones, mental health, and what it really means to thrive in midlife. I talk openly about my own experiences with fibroids, my hysterectomy, weight gain, depression, and hormone therapy, while sharing why I believe mental health, fitness, nervous system regulation, and hormone health are all deeply connected. Kavita shares how her own struggles with symptoms like brain fog inspired her to create Vibe Tribes, a daily wellness platform designed to help women feel more balanced, energized, and connected to themselves again. We discuss how simple, bite sized practices like breathwork, meditation, movement, mindfulness, and education can help regulate the nervous system and create meaningful changes in both physical and emotional well being. Dr. Shah brings both medical expertise and compassion to the conversation as we discuss the realities of perimenopause and menopause, including sleep struggles, anxiety, mood changes, and the importance of self advocacy in women’s healthcare. She explains how progesterone and magnesium can support better sleep and nervous system health, while also emphasizing the powerful connection between the mind and body.

Hi, everybody. You are listening to Judging Megan with your host, Megan Judge. It was the usual hot mess getting on today. Uh, that's what happens, ladies, I think, when we have three guests in different places. It's... The, the internet and podcasting can be so great when you can just do it from home, but this is why sometimes I think maybe I should s- get a studio, 'cause it would be easier. But that aside, I'm really... I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled to talk about something positive today, because I've spent so... I sp- talk a lot about mental health on the podcast.
