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.

In today’s episode, you get to hear from Yolanda Russell, a brand coach and host of Accelerate Your Brand & Breakthrough Podcast, where you can tune in for unfiltered tips to help you build your brand and boost your mindset.
Yolanda doesn’t mind telling you like it is. Learn from her how to prioritize your personal needs and how to fill your cup so you can find awareness and create momentum.
Don’t miss her story as she tells us how an HIV scare helped her SWITCH her direction in life.
Learn More About Yolanda Russell
Yolanda navigated a very lonely path of nursing burnout...and she actually HATES that word because her care and enthusiasm for her patients and what she did never left her.
She calls on us to remember--The Universe placed your call to help others for a reason.
Yolanda says you don’t have to be married to the one way that you always thought you were supposed to answer that call.
She’s made tons of sacrifices —including getting rid of her Lexus in 2017, draining her 401K, living off credit cards—dropping her credit score from an 820 to who knows how low. Skimping on beauty and investing money into coaches and things to grow her business.
And she wouldn’t change a single thing. She loved being a Nurse, the profession is beautiful, but she now realizes that it was simply a STEPPING STONE.
The struggles, hardships, achievements, and everything in between have lead her right here to you.
