Welcome to a brand-new series on The Menopause Method all about biofeedback in menopause: How to listen to your body’s truth instead of chasing what worked years ago.

In this episode, I share the raw story of my hysterectomy and how ignoring my body’s signals became the turning point that showed me why biofeedback matters in midlife. Together, we’ll explore how the 4 bodies, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, all give feedback you can learn to read.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What biofeedback really means in midlife
• Why your body is a barometer of truth
• How the unconscious mind speaks through your body
• The Awesome/Awful Test you can start today
• Why presence matters more than “doing more”

Because healthspan isn’t about how many years you live. It’s about adding life to those years by listening to the signals your body is giving you right now.

Healthspan isn’t just about how long you live. It’s about why you live.

In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen shares why purpose and belief are powerful longevity tools, just as important as food or exercise. Research shows that people with a strong sense of purpose live longer, recover faster, and are less likely to develop chronic disease.

You’ll hear Cam’s own story of leaving teaching, walking through divorce and empty nest, and finding renewal in faith and community at 42. You’ll also learn how purpose shows up in the four bodies (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) and simple, specific ways to reconnect with meaning in midlife.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The research on purpose, faith, and healthspan
• Why belief and community protect longevity
• How purpose shows up through the 4 Bodies
• Practical ways to reconnect with your “why” in midlife
• Why health isn’t just about steps or protein. It's about meaning

Connection may be the most underrated medicine for longevity. Research shows that people with strong social ties cut their risk of early death by 50%, while loneliness raises it by 70%. As dangerous as smoking and worse than obesity.

In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen shares why relationships, community, and even your relationship with yourself are as important for healthspan as food and exercise. From the Blue Zones to the famous Alameda County Study, to Harvard’s Counterclockwise Study on acting younger, the evidence is clear: connection shapes how long and how well we live.

You’ll discover:

• Why healthspan isn’t just about steps and calories
• How loneliness impacts your body like smoking
• What the Blue Zones teach us about community and belonging
• Why environment shapes digestion, stress, and even aging
• The role of self-connection in the midlife awakening of menopause

Healthspan, not just lifespan, is the goal in midlife. If you’re a woman in menopause or beyond, building muscle through strength training is the single best way to extend your healthspan, the years you feel strong, capable, and independent.

You’ll discover:

• What healthspan vs lifespan really means
• Why strength training in menopause is essential for longevity
