Hello, Hot Flash: Christian Menopause, Weight Loss, Hormones & Midlife Health

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.

Leslie Danford, the founder of Vitaminis, shares the importance of magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C for women before and after menopause. As women age, their magnesium levels tend to decline, leading to issues like muscle weakness, fatigue, and poor immunity. Magnesium is vital for energy production, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Zinc helps the immune system, protein synthesis, and wound healing. It also plays a significant role in hormone regulation during transitional hormone periods. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules.
Leslie also stresses the importance of magnesium for bone health as we age. This powerful mineral acts as a natural muscle relaxant, relieving cramps and aiding in post-exercise recovery. It also works with calcium and vitamin D to keep our bones strong and healthy, preventing osteoporosis and ensuring effective nutrient processing. However, Leslie advises consulting with a doctor before adding vitamins and minerals to your routine, as some may interact with medications.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Christie grew up on an island in Lake Erie, called Put-in-Bay and is a fifth generation Island Girl. While it was a beautiful childhood, filled with walks in the woods, swims in the Lake and a small community that always looked out for her, it was also a heavily polluted Lake Erie during the time of her youth. She was raised drinking the family’s well water and also eating Lake Erie perch and walleye. Processed food was easy to come by, and store during the long winters, and at the time, items like Velveeta “cheese,” canned vegetables and white bread were part of her family’s staples.
Over twenty years ago, while Christie was teaching elementary school and raising her two daughters, Christie became ill, went into premature menopause at age 29, and was chronically tired. It was discovered she had toxic levels of mercury in her body. Her doctor’s words were “You grew up in a cesspool.” She began the long process of detoxing from the heavy metal and around the same time, her oldest, Anna became very ill. It was discovered that her ten-year-old was allergic to many foods, preservatives, and colorants. Even fluoride! Something had to change. Christie began researching and learned the TRUTH about what is in our water, food, cleaning products and finally, body and skin care. The journey toward better health began. She replaced all her household items with more natural things, including her skin and body care. However, after years of buying these products, she realized some of them still held questionable ingredients. She recalled how her family lived on the island for all those generations, living naturally. Before the onslaught of plastics, before the Lake was polluted. When people canned their own garden vegetable and when milk was actually milk. When the meat that was eaten was hormone-free, along with the eggs, too. The islanders lived on the island all those years without the toxic products. She recalled a medicinal salve her family had called Gramma’s Salve. It was made by her Great-Grandmother, whom Christie was named after. Whatever happened to it? On her search for better skin care and natural remedies, Christie gathered the ingredients for this ancient salve. One winter night in 2013, she made it and that familiar healing scent came back to her. Using lavender from her gardens, this gave her confidence to make other products, as well. The best part? She could control all the ingredients. At first, she shared the remedies with family, teachers and her students. The students were her cheerleaders and they convinced her to sell the organic concoctions. So, she did! Christie left teaching to focus full-time on the business almost 8 years ago. Many small batches later, Your Only Earth was born and now has over 30 products, living on the mainland near Cleveland, Ohio.
