Michele Scarlet’s True Health Podcast

If your doctor’s wellness advice actually worked for women over 40, you wouldn’t be here.
I’m Michele Scarlet; Functional Medicine Practitioner specializing in women’s health, metabolic function, and hormone regulation in midlife.
I don’t manage symptoms or normalize fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or declining health as “just getting older.”
On this podcast, I break down what’s actually happening inside the female body after 40; from hormones and metabolism to stress, detoxification, weight loss, and longevity.
