About Hello, Hot Flash: Conversations about menopause, women’s health and mindset for midlife women.
If you're a Christian woman navigating perimenopause or menopause — and you're exhausted, gaining weight, not sleeping, and not getting real answers from your doctor — you found the right place. Hello, Hot Flash is a faith-informed, science-based menopause podcast hosted by Stephanie Shaw — a menopause advocate who saw 18 doctors, visited two world-renowned medical facilities, and spent $20,000 out of pocket before finally finding relief. She built this show so you don't have to go through what she did. Each week, Stephanie talks with gynecologists, menopause specialists, hormone experts, functional medicine doctors, nutritionists, and real women who've been there — breaking down the most-searched menopause topics in plain language: Menopause weight loss and belly fat · hot flashes and night sweats · sleep problems and 3AM wake-ups · HRT vs. BHRT vs. natural remedies · hormone health and estrogen · testosterone and libido · brain fog and focus · anxiety and depression · insulin resistance and metabolism after 40 · sugar cravings · heart health and bone density · hair loss, joint pain, and heart palpitations · vaginal dryness · irregular periods and frozen shoulder Women who listen to Hello, Hot Flash get real answers to the questions that keep them up at night — and the faith to trust that God designed this body and this season with purpose: HRT vs. Bioidentical HRT vs. natural remedies — what's actually right for you? How to balance your hormones naturally and effectively. What really works for hot flashes and night sweats. How to sleep all night and finally beat insomnia. How to lose weight and keep it off after 40. How to reduce brain fog and sharpen your focus so you can show up fully — at work, at home, and in your calling. How menopause affects your sex drive and your relationships — and how Jesus meets you even there. The best foods and supplements for midlife health. How much protein you need, how much water you should drink, and what your body is actually asking for. How menopause impacts your bones, your heart, and your long-term health — and why the Holy Spirit is as much a part of your healing as any hormone panel. This is a show where your faith and your health belong in the same conversation. Hello, Hot Flash is ranked in the Top 3% of Podcasts Worldwide (Listen Notes) and named one of Feedspot's Top 25 Best Menopause Podcasts of 2025. Real questions. Real answers. No dismissals.

Published 8 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] When your blood sugar crashes hard, your body treats it like a mild emergency and releases cortisol to correct it. Cortisol pushes blood sugar back up, which sets up the next crash. And cortisol itself increases cravings specifically for sugar and refined carbs because your body is trying to refuel fast and it doesn't understand what's going on underneath. Here's the part that matters most. That loop, it gets stronger, not weaker, when your plan depends on you being perfect. One bad night of sleep, one stressful week, one skipped meal, and cortisol is already up before you've made a single decision. […]
