    The No. 1 Rising Cancer in Women: Dr. Kemi Doll on Uterine Cancer, Fibroids, HRT & What Women Need to Know

    06/16/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    What happens when the womb is treated as separate from the rest of women’s health? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll, double board-certified gynecologic oncologist, equity scientist, researcher, coach, and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, for a powerful conversation about womb health, uterine cancer, fibroids, HRT, health equity, and why so many women are still being taught to normalize symptoms that deserve care.
    Together, they explore why womb health is not only about pregnancy, fertility, or menopause, but a lifelong part of women’s physical, emotional, hormonal, and whole-body health. Dr. Doll shares how her grandmother’s death in childbirth, her mother’s near-death experience, and her own work as a gynecologic cancer surgeon shaped her mission to bring the uterus back into the center of women’s health.
    Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also discuss why uterine cancer is rising, why Black women are twice as likely to die after a uterine cancer diagnosis, and how gaps in research, screening, and diagnostic tools may leave women of color especially vulnerable. They unpack the role of ultrasound, endometrial thickness, post-menopausal bleeding, and why women need clearer conversations with their providers when something feels off.
    This conversation also takes a closer look at the explosion of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, and the questions every woman with a uterus should be asking. Dr. Doll explains why estrogen without proper progesterone protection can increase uterine cancer risk, why some women may not understand the role progesterone plays, and why monitoring the uterus matters when using hormones.

    Womb health is not just about periods, pregnancy, fibroids, or menopause. It is shaped by hormones, stress, inflammation, medical history, race, research gaps, diagnostic bias, body literacy, emotional suppression, and the way women are taught to silence or normalize pain. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll look at the womb as a vital part of women’s health that deserves attention across every stage of life.

    Dr. Doll shares why fibroids often begin earlier and become more severe for Black women, why many women are not believed until symptoms become unbearable, and how chronic stress, anger suppression, vitamin D deficiency, and delayed care can all become part of a larger womb health crisis. She also explains why some women may still have options beyond surgery, while others need honest, compassionate conversations about myomectomy, hysterectomy, fertility preservation, and quality of life.
    Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also explore the connection between traditional medicine, Chinese medicine, science, and what Dr. Doll calls “womb suffering.” They discuss why women need better language for their symptoms, why bringing an advocate to medical appointments can help, and why prioritizing your womb in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond may change the trajectory of your health.
    If you are navigating fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, pelvic pain, post-menopausal bleeding, HRT, menopause, hysterectomy decisions, fertility concerns, or the feeling that your symptoms have been dismissed, this episode offers validation, education, and a deeper way to understand what your body may be trying to tell you.

    36 Doctors Missed It: Amy Kurtz on Lyme Disease, Medical Trauma Brain & Healing After Chronic Illness

    06/09/2026 | 57 mins.
    What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.
    Together, they explore Amy’s 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.
    Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.
    This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.

    Healing is not only physical. It is shaped by the nervous system, emotional safety, medical experiences, self-trust, community, trauma, hormones, inflammation, and the way the body and mind learn to feel safe again. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Amy look at healing as a whole-person process, especially for people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told “but you look fine.”

    Lyme Disease & Chronic Infections: https://holplus.co/conditions/lyme-disease/
    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: https://holplus.co/conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/
    Amy shares why chronic illness can create an “illness after the illness,” why recovery often brings up grief, and why so many patients feel lost once they are expected to simply get back to normal. She explains how Medical Trauma Brain can show up as fear of relapse, obsessive symptom checking, anxiety, hypervigilance, and feeling physically better but emotionally stuck in survival mode.
    Dr. Taz and Amy also explore the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, why patients need to feel believed, and how reclaiming agency can become a central part of healing. They discuss practical tools for calming the nervous system, including orienting, CBT-based stress checks, walking, rest, breathwork, meditation, exercise, and learning to pause before reacting to every internal alarm.
    If you are navigating chronic illness, Lyme disease, invisible symptoms, medical gaslighting, nervous system dysregulation, fear of getting sick again, or the emotional aftermath of a long health journey, this episode offers language, validation, and practical tools to begin rebuilding trust with your body.

She is the author of Kicking Sick and But You Look Fine: Trapped in the Hell Between Sick and Well and How to Break Free.

    How to Rebuild Intimacy in Long-Term Relationships: Caitlin V on Sex, Hormones, Communication & Connection

    06/02/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    What does it really take to keep intimacy alive after years together? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Caitlin V, sexologist, educator, coach, author, and host of Good Sex, for a candid conversation about sex, connection, hormones, communication, and the relationship patterns that quietly shape long-term intimacy.
    Together, they explore why many couples start to feel disconnected over time, especially through the pressures of marriage, parenting, midlife, stress, changing bodies, shifting hormones, and unspoken resentment. Caitlin explains why intimacy is not something couples are simply supposed to “know how to do,” and why learning to talk about sex, desire, needs, and repair can completely change the direction of a relationship.
    Dr. Taz and Caitlin also discuss the role of men’s health, testosterone, cortisol, perimenopause, menopause, performance pressure, emotional shutdown, and the invisible load that many women carry. They unpack why both men and women can check out of a relationship, how resentment builds, and why emotional distance is often one of the earliest signs that a couple needs support.
    This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at how couples can rebuild closeness, not through pressure or blame, but through communication, curiosity, physical connection, appreciation, and a willingness to keep learning each other.
    If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle
    Intimacy is not only about sex. It is shaped by hormones, nervous system stress, emotional safety, communication patterns, body changes, desire, identity, and the way partners repair after disconnection. In this episode, Dr. Taz and Caitlin look at intimacy as a vital part of health and partnership, especially during midlife and beyond.

    Caitlin shares why sex often changes after the early years of a relationship, why many couples wait too long to talk about what is not working, and why resentment can become one of the biggest barriers to desire. She also explains how scheduled intimacy, honest repair conversations, non-sexual touch, and simple practices of appreciation can help couples reconnect before disconnection becomes the norm.
    Dr. Taz and Caitlin also explore the pressures men often face around masculinity, performance, sexual confidence, and providing, as well as the ways women can support connection without shrinking themselves or taking on all the emotional labor. The result is a more balanced conversation about how both partners can participate in rebuilding intimacy together.
    If you are navigating changes in desire, emotional distance, midlife hormone shifts, stress, resentment, communication breakdowns, or the feeling that your relationship needs more intentional care, this episode offers language, perspective, and practical tools to begin repairing connection.

    How to Exercise in Midlife Without Burnout: Strength, Cardio, Pelvic Floor & Hormones with Megan Roup

    05/26/2026 | 55 mins.
    What if the best workout for your body is not the hardest one, but the one you can actually keep showing up for? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Megan Roup, founder of The Sculpt Society, celebrity trainer, mother, former professional dancer, and creator of a movement method designed to help women build strength, confidence, and consistency without burnout. Together, they explore why so many women feel overwhelmed by midlife fitness advice, especially around strength training, cardio, cortisol, pelvic floor health, menopause, and body composition.
    Megan shares why extreme, all-or-nothing workout plans often fail women in real life, especially during midlife when hormones, sleep, stress, family responsibilities, and energy levels are constantly shifting. She explains how shorter, well-programmed workouts can still support muscle, bone density, cardiovascular health, mobility, and emotional well-being.
    Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss pelvic floor function, progressive overload, cardio myths, GLP-1 medications, body image, intuitive movement, and why body confidence does not come from being thin. Megan offers a more realistic, joyful, and sustainable way to think about movement as medicine, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, postpartum recovery, and the constant transitions of life.
    This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like fitness became another source of pressure instead of a path back to themselves.

    Movement is not just about weight loss. It is a hormone story, a nervous system story, a mental health story, and a body confidence story. Dr. Taz and Megan discuss how strength training, mobility, deep core work, cardio, breath, pelvic floor function, and recovery all work together to support women through different life stages.

    Hormone Balancing: https://holplus.co/services/hormone-balancing/
    Megan also explains why cardio still matters, why pelvic floor release is just as important as pelvic floor activation, how progressive overload actually works, and why women should not abandon movement just because they are naturally thin, on a GLP-1 medication, or not trying to lose weight. She also shares how tools like sleep, energy, HRV, and readiness scores can help women choose the right workout for the right day.
    Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss body neutrality, intuitive eating, food freedom, postpartum recovery, cycle syncing, and how women can stop using movement as punishment and start using it as medicine. They explore why thinness does not equal confidence, why body image struggles can show up at every stage of life, and why daughters are watching the way women talk about their bodies.
    If you struggle with all-or-nothing workouts, midlife weight changes, high cortisol, body image pressure, pelvic floor concerns, menopause fitness confusion, fear of strength training, or feeling like fitness has become one more thing to “get right,” this episode will help you find a more realistic and supportive path forward.

    Your Attachment Style Is Running Your Relationships: Thais Gibson on Core Wounds, Ghosting & Rewiring Your Subconscious Mind

    05/19/2026 | 59 mins.
    What if the patterns in your relationships are not just about communication, compatibility, or choosing the wrong person, but subconscious wounds your nervous system learned years ago? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Thais Gibson, PhD, bestselling author, counselor, speaker, attachment theory expert, and founder of The Personal Development School, to explore how attachment styles, childhood conditioning, core wounds, subconscious programming, and nervous system regulation shape the way we love, fight, connect, and pull away.
    In this episode, Thais explains why the conscious mind often cannot overpower the subconscious mind, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns even when they know better. She breaks down the four attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant, and explains how each style can show up in adult relationships, dating, marriage, family dynamics, conflict, ghosting, love bombing, emotional shutdown, clinginess, and the painful push-pull cycle.
    Dr. Taz and Thais discuss why affirmations may not be enough to heal deep core wounds, why the subconscious mind responds more to emotion and imagery than language, and how childhood experiences can become the lens through which we interpret adult relationships. Thais also shares a practical 21-day rewiring exercise using memory, emotion, visualization, and repetition to help shift core wounds like abandonment, betrayal, shame, unworthiness, and fear of being trapped.

    Attachment is not just a relationship story. It is a nervous system story. Dr. Taz and Thais discuss how unresolved attachment wounds can keep people in fight-or-flight, create emotional trigger cycles, increase conflict in relationships, and shape the health of families across generations.

     Integrative Mental Health Services for Emotional Wellbeing: https://holplus.co/services/mental-health/

    Dr. Taz and Thais also discuss why anxious and avoidant partners are often drawn to each other, why secure attachment can feel boring before someone heals, why high-conflict couples can still change when both people are willing to do the work, and why healthy relationships require more than insight. They require rewiring core wounds, understanding your needs, regulating your nervous system, learning healthy communication, and building real boundaries.
    If you struggle with relationship anxiety, emotional shutdown, fear of abandonment, fear of betrayal, ghosting, love bombing, conflict, people-pleasing, or repeating the same relationship cycle with different people, this episode will help you understand the deeper pattern and where healing can begin.

    Thais Gibson, PhD, is a bestselling author, counselor, speaker, and one of the leading voices in attachment theory and personal development. She is the founder of Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory and co-founder of The Personal Development School, where she helps people understand and rewire subconscious relationship patterns, attachment wounds, and emotional conditioning.
