Dr. Shabnam Sarshar breaks it down: estrogen drives anandamide, your body's own feel-good molecule. When estrogen peaks, pain drops and mood lifts. When estrogen crashes — which in perimenopause it does wildly and unpredictably — the whole system lurches.https://www.youtube.com/embed/afY-ps36T702026-10-23T12:00:00+00:00https://johnhiemstra.com/api/media/9570cd5e-9a66-495d-b2ca-1df6ddccea0b?w=900My real secret is extended orgasm.Her real secret? Extended orgasm — and she explains exactly what it is. Alicia Davon is a leading expert in tantra and tantric relationship coaching, and she's specific: "An extended orgasm is a clitoral stroking practice... a lot of training and how to relax the body so much that your body involuntarily goes into this state of release and pleasure."https://www.youtube.com/embed/EToc2vN09UQ2026-11-03T12:00:00+00:00https://johnhiemstra.com/api/media/94d191e4-195d-4b6b-865f-738d8b72cdaf?w=900"Diagnosed first in the ER."Most people find out their bones are in trouble in the ER — after the break.

Johnson says farmer carries are one of the best-kept secrets for menopausal women. Load the spine. Fire the core. Challenge the brain.

For women whose bone density is already under pressure from menopause, this one's worth knowing.https://www.youtube.com/embed/xcfPH0ZgVZc2026-10-23T12:00:00+00:00https://johnhiemstra.com/api/media/32245738-335a-44f6-8245-c601856b8c63?w=900There's not a one size fits all."Your body is your body and you need to be the expert of your own body."

Dr. Tina Koopersmith MD reminds us that one cell became you, knocked on the door, and got delivered without your conscious mind doing a thing. That's the intelligence living in your cells. And for women? We do it twice more. Puberty. Then menopause. And menopause isn't losing the ability to create — it's finally creating your life.https://www.youtube.com/embed/ayvPbHzfSGk2026-10-23T12:00:00+00:00https://johnhiemstra.com/api/media/4c683d15-dcda-47fe-9912-349139ddaea2?w=900You can't think your way out...You can't think your way out of patterns that were never created by thinking. Justin Sokol makes it plain: all the conscious self-help work you've been doing is real — but you're trying to run it on a system that hasn't been updated. The patterns that keep showing up weren't built by your conscious mind. Conscious tools can't fully reach them.https://www.youtube.com/embed/0ieAXnwj6wM2026-10-23T12:00:00+00:00 https://johnhiemstra.com/digital2026-11-03 https://johnhiemstra.com/services/product-engineering2026-11-03 https://johnhiemstra.com/analog2026-11-03 https://johnhiemstra.com/services/tailor-builds2026-11-03 https://johnhiemstra.com/about2026-10-29 https://johnhiemstra.com/privacy2026-11-03
