- This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Eve Henry — internal medicine physician, preventive health expert, integrative medicine practitioner and medical director at Function Health — for a straight conversation about cholesterol, heart disease, menopause, statins, metabolic health, GLP-1s and what women actually need to know about their labs.
Dr. Henry explains why so many women see their cholesterol rise in their 40s and 50s, even if they have always thought of themselves as someone with “great cholesterol.” She breaks down how estrogen affects cholesterol, why perimenopause and menopause can change the picture quickly, and why women should not automatically blame themselves, their diet or their lifestyle when their numbers shift.
The conversation covers what really matters on a cholesterol panel, including ApoB, Lp(a), triglycerides, insulin, glucose, A1C and blood pressure. Dr. Henry explains why particle number may matter more than particle size, why ApoB can be one of the most useful markers, and why every woman should know her Lp(a). She also explains genetic risk, polygenic risk scores and when imaging like a coronary calcium scan or CT angiogram may help guide decisions.
Kerstin and Dr. Henry also get into the statin debate, including why doctors prescribe them, what side effects can happen, and what other options exist, including Zetia and PCSK9 inhibitors. Dr. Henry shares her own experience with high ApoB and cholesterol medication, why HRT usually does not fix cholesterol, and how thyroid, weight gain, metabolic health, insulin resistance, supplements and GLP-1 medications fit into the bigger heart-health picture.

Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Harry Slatkin — known as the king of home fragrance, co-founder of Slatkin & Co, QVC favorite, business builder and co-founder of Next for Autism — for a heartfelt conversation about fragrance, family, severe autism, stress, faith, health and turning deep pain into purpose.
Harry shares how he started his first business at 15, went from finance to fragrance, and helped change the home fragrance industry by bringing candles out of the home department and into the beauty world. He opens up about working with iconic names like Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Elton John, Princess Diana, Tory Burch, Christian Dior, Bath & Body Works and more, while explaining why scent is not just a product but an emotional and physical experience tied to the brain.
Then the conversation turns personal. Harry talks about his son David’s severe autism diagnosis, the early years of biting, clawing, screaming, medical uncertainty and family stress, and how he and his wife Laura decided they could either sit in their sorrow or get to work. That work eventually helped lead to major autism advocacy efforts, including Next for Autism, Autism Speaks, schools, adult programs, workplace programs and support for families living with autism.
Harry also shares how his family handled Laura’s breast cancer, what faith looks like for him, why every family is carrying something, and how honesty helps him manage stress. He explains why he and Laura have watched The Golden Girls almost every night for decades, how he learned to shut his brain off, why sleep matters, and why phones, food, blood work, magnesium, vitamin D and small health changes are all part of the bigger conversation.

Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Pastor Jonathan Miller — author of Healing Hurts, pastor’s kid, ministry leader and longtime pastor — for a powerful conversation about church hurt, family trauma, forgiveness, leadership, emotional healing and how God can turn deep pain into purpose.
Jonathan shares the story of how his life fell apart at age 12 after his father confessed to multiple adulterous relationships inside the church. He opens up about watching people he loved walk out of his life, the pain his family endured, his father’s prison sentence, his mother’s decision to stay, and the 18-year crisis that eventually became a testimony of restoration.
Then the conversation turns practical: how church hurt can go both ways, why pastors and their families need grace, how transparency leads to transformation, how pain can become fuel instead of a prison, why crying and emotional honesty matter, and how physical, emotional and spiritual health all work together in healing.
Jonathan also explains why pain does not have to control your decisions, why generational wounds can be broken, why leaving a church should be done with honor, and why his non-negotiable morning prayer rhythm keeps him grounded.

Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Chalene Johnson — New York Times bestselling author, fitness pioneer, host of The Chalene Show, entrepreneur and creator of Camp Be More — for an honest conversation about leaving the fitness industry, body image, GLP-1s, muscle, relationships and why life can get better after 50.
Chalene shares why she walked away at the height of her fitness career after realizing that the results being sold to women did not match what she had to do behind the scenes. She opens up about the pressure to become smaller, unhealthy exercise patterns, rapid weight loss, disordered eating and her concerns about how GLP-1 medications are being used.
Then the conversation turns practical: creatine, sleep trackers, stress, priority clarity, lifting heavy, Zone 2 walking, mobility, protein, hormone replacement therapy, supplements, social media criticism, elective surgery, preparing the body for recovery and protecting your most important relationships.
Chalene also explains why she calls herself “level 57,” why women need strong friendships in midlife and why aging is inevitable — but getting old is not.

06/09/2026 | 59 mins.This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Amie Hornaman — known as The Thyroid Fixer — for a direct and personal conversation about thyroid health, hormones, metabolism, weight gain, brain fog, fatigue, cholesterol, GLP-1s, dementia risk, and why so many women are told they are “normal” when they know something is wrong.
Dr. Amie shares her own pain-to-purpose story, including gaining weight while training for fitness competitions, being dismissed by six doctors, finally getting diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and discovering that standard thyroid care was not giving her the full answer. She explains why many doctors only test TSH and T4, why she believes women need full thyroid panels, and why symptoms matter just as much as labs.
Then the conversation gets personal. Kerstin asks about her own thyroid medication, getting pregnant, family history, cholesterol, coffee, ashwagandha, GLP-1s, peptides, and whether her mother’s thyroid removal could have played a role in dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Amie breaks down T3, T4, reverse T3, natural desiccated thyroid, Hashimoto’s, menopause, insulin resistance, and the questions women should ask before accepting a one-size-fits-all answer.
