Well with Arielle Lorre

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Make Time Wellness co-founder Emma Heming Willis and scientific advisor Dr. Nicole Beurkens to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of women’s health: our brains. Women face a significantly higher lifetime risk of Alzheimer’s disease than men, yet brain health is rarely part of the everyday wellness conversation. The good news? There’s so much we can do to support our brains now and in the decades ahead.

We discuss how hormones, chronic stress, and the mental load women carry affect cognitive health; the connection between estrogen and the brain; and what we should know about hormone replacement therapy. We also get into the practical side of brain health, including the most effective types of exercise, nutrition, supplements like creatine, the importance of social connection, and five key lifestyle factors that can make a meaningful difference.

This isn’t a conversation about fearing aging or obsessing over disease prevention. It’s about understanding our brains, taking control of what we can, and making small, sustainable changes that support how we feel and function at every age.

Brigid Titgemeier is a functional medicine registered dietitian, nutrition expert, and founder of BeingBrigid, known for her science-backed approach to metabolic health, blood sugar regulation, and using food to address the root causes of chronic symptoms.

In this episode, Brigid breaks down why so many women are doing all the “right” things for their health but still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and stubborn symptoms. She shares the blood markers every woman should know, including optimal fasting glucose, insulin, and ferritin levels, plus the early signs of insulin resistance that can show up before anything looks abnormal on your labs.

We get into the complicated relationship between blood sugar and hormones, whether glucose spikes are actually something to worry about, how to adjust your carbohydrate and protein intake throughout your cycle and into perimenopause, and the foods that can influence inflammation and mental health. Brigid also shares the most impactful dietary changes you can make starting today, why you might wake up exhausted even after a full night’s sleep, and how to pursue better health without becoming obsessive about every number.

This episode is packed with specific, actionable advice to help you understand your body, interpret your labs, and finally feel as good as you’re trying to be.
