Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

If you’re a woman over 40 wondering “What is happening to me?”—this episode is your permission slip to get curious, not quiet. Dr. Jannine Krause and Theresa Lear Levine dive deep into the hormonal maze of perimenopause and menopause—from brain fog and bloating to ADHD symptoms and anxiety—and explain how these changes ripple far beyond your period tracker.

We talk hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—the myths, the magic, and the marketing of “bioidenticals.” We break down the often-missed links between gut health, detoxification, emotional regulation, and your hormone story. And yes, we talk about the things nobody wants to admit: the not so pretty results of various cleanses, the relationship between estrogen, binge eating and emotional outbursts, and why relational healing is hormonal healing.

This is the conversation your doctor probably hasn’t had with you—but your body is begging for it.

🧠 Top Takeaways:

Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal.
Hormonal shifts can trigger or worsen ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and overwhelm.
Estrogen detox is directly tied to gut health.
How xenoestrogens from plastics, beauty products, and cleaning supplies are hormone saboteurs.
Why detox pathways must be supported, especially in your 40s and 50s.
Weight gain is not just calories—it’s chemistry and quantum physics.
HRT is not one-size-fits-all and why saying Bioidentical-HRT is "natural" is misleading
Mental clarity, mood, and libido are all influenced by estrogen and progesterone.
Your emotional and nervou system health affect your hormones.
Healing happens in safe, supportive relationships—this is nervous system work we're overlooking

✨ Notable Quotes:

“All healing is relational healing.”
“It’s not just about the uterus—your whole life changes.”
“You can’t out-supplement a nervous system stuck in survival mode.”
“It’s like cleaning out a sewer pipe—but for your hormones.”

📚 Chapters Breakdown: Time Topic 00:00 Why we need to stop whispering about perimenopause 02:58 What’s really happening with your hormones 05:48 ADHD or just perimenopause? (Or both?) 09:00 How your gut influences your hormones (and mood) 12:04 Detoxing the right way (hint: not juice cleanses) 15:03 Hidden hormone disruptors in your home 17:58 Weight gain + hormones = a complex equation 25:14 Demystifying HRT + why the term “bioidentical” is marketing 35:04 The mental clarity so many women never knew they could get back 40:00 Emotions, nervous system, and your hormone dance 44:52 The healing power of community & sisterhood 🧭 Perfect For You If:

You’re in your 40s or 50s and feeling “off” but don’t know why
You’ve tried diets, supplements, or HRT or Bio-HRT but still feel stuck
You’ve been dismissed or misdiagnosed
You’re craving clarity, connection, and a roadmap that makes sense
