Looking Good and Feeling Good in Our 40s and Beyond with Dr. James Simon and Adrien Cotton

Health & Wellness

Apr 1

This week I’m so pleased to share something a little different with you. My friend, Dr. James Simon, Medical Director and Founder of IntimMedicine Specialists, and I dove deep into how women in their 40s and beyond can look good and feel good using medical—and holistic methods.

Dr. James Simon

Dr. Simon is a top-ranked, D.C.-based physician providing patient-focused care for women across the reproductive life cycle, from adolescence to childbirth, and through the menopause transition. His unique approach to care encourages women to be a part of their own wellness, disease prevention, treatment and recovery; and through his renowned clinical research efforts, he offers one-of-a-kind opportunities for patients to experience the latest innovations in women’s sexual health.

And I am a transformational wellness coach, speaker and creator of MASTER Menopause NOW!, an online resource for perimenopausal and menopausal women. I leverage my holistic proprietary approach to help women feel renewed well-being, strong, and confident in their bodies and their lives.

In this conversation, we talk about Dr. Simon’s background and his work in women’s midlife health as well as my experience with my “perimenopause prison” and how that challenge led me to new-found wellness. Dr. Simon shares what we need to know about hormone-replacement therapy (HRT), what it is, the benefits, and why you should consider it. And finally, I share some of my strategies for addressing symptoms of perimenopause/menopause (like the dreaded weight gain and hot flashes), to help you look and feel your best today and every day.
