Hormones, Hustle & the Art of Not Doing It All with Dr. Breanna O’Keefe

Shelley and Mary grab their mics (and maybe a little magnesium) to sit down with Dr. Breanna O'Keefe, a physician, mom, and unapologetic champion for women who are ready to stop running themselves ragged. This is a real talk about what it takes to keep your health, your sanity, and your sparkle at any age.

From hot flashes to high-powered careers, they spill the truth on juggling work, family, and wellness without buying into the myth that you have to do it all, do it perfectly, and smile while doing it. Think fewer "burners on high" and more intentional, guilt-free choices — the kind that actually let you breathe.

They also go there on perimenopause and menopause, decoding symptoms, swapping supplement secrets, and sharing personal stories you will not hear in your average exam room. Shelley even gets candid about her own hormone therapy journey, the joys (and not-so-joys) of midlife body changes, and why social media might be the unlikely hero for women's health awareness.

Dr. O'Keefe shares why she left the corporate medical hamster wheel to build a Direct Primary Care practice where patients receive the time, attention, and honest answers they deserve. From metabolism shifts to bone health, she breaks down prevention in a way that makes you feel both informed and in charge.

If you have ever wondered how to lift weights for stronger bones, protect your heart, or simply claim more time for yourself without the guilt, this conversation will give you permission and a plan to do it.
