A Modern Menopause – Why Hormone Support Today is a Piece of Cake With Dr. Julia Fountain
Wellness MD
11/21/23 • 29 min
In this episode, I (Dr. Daniela Steyn) engage in a conversation with Dr. Julia Fountain about modern menopause. Dr. Fountain is a Naturopathic Doctor, NAMS-Certified Menopause Practitioner, and the founder of HealthSpan Wellness in Georgetown, ON. Her clinical practice is wholeheartedly dedicated to assisting women in midlife as they navigate their health and hormones through education, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies. She prescribes menopause hormone therapy when indicated, guiding women to explore their options, advocate for themselves when needed, and choose to 'play' rather than 'pause' in midlife!
Dr. Fountain shares her knowledge on:
1. How she became interested in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal care.
2. What a ‘modern menopause’ involves?
3. What she means by ‘hormone support is a piece of cake’.
4. What she sees for the next generation – our daughter’s menopause.
Join us today to listen to this valuable conversation on navigating a modern menopause.

Meditation for better health
Wellness MD
08/16/21 • 19 min
Meditation has been practiced for many years in many religions. However, as more scientific evidence emerges praising the health and wellness benefits of meditation, it is becoming increasingly more popular.
JB and Dr. Daniela Steyn discuss the research behind meditation.
Dr. Daniela also discusses the scientific health benefits of incorporating meditation into your daily practice.
1: Meditation promotes better sleep
2: Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression
3: Reduce pain, especially in chronic pain syndromes, chronic illness, migraines, fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome.
4: Meditation boosts your memory, protects against cognitive decline (ageing of the brain), it sharpens focus and concentration, it improves creativity.
5: Improved cardiovascular health. One study showed that after meditating for only 5min a day, after only 10 days the participants showed an improvement in heart rate variability. Other studies have shown meditation decreases blood pressure and improves blood cholesterol levels.
Some of the science discussed in this podcast:
Our brains consist of billions of nerve cells called neurons. These neurons talk to each other. This communication is called electricity. When millions of neurons are communicating at the same time this generates a significant amount of electrical activity. In the hospital, we can measure this electricity with an EEG machine (electroencephalograph). This combined electrical activity in the brain is known as a brainwave pattern. It is called a brainwave because when we record it, it shows a wave-like pattern. Brain waves can be sorted into four different categories based on wave frequency that gets measured in cycles per second (Hz).
- Beta waves: 15-40Hz
This is when you are superconscious, awake, alert, active, engaged, talking with your boss, teaching your children Math.
- Alpha waves: 9-14Hz
This is the frequency when you are awake and conscious, but calm, lucid, reflective. For example when you are staring into a fire, looking at the rolling waves of the ocean, listening to soothing music.
- Theta waves: 5-8Hz
This is the state we enter when we are deeply relaxed, in a deeper meditative state, almost semiconscious. These are the frequency during daydreaming and REM sleep.
- Delta waves 1.5-4Hz
This is when we are in dreamless sleep, minimally aware, unconscious of our surroundings.
During this episode, JB and Dr. Daniela give advice on how to easily incorporate meditation into your daily routine.

In this episode of the Wellness MD podcast, Life Coach Caroline Elisabeth joins host Dr. Daniela Steyn to discuss how our habits serve (or not serve) us.
Our habits form the foundation of our daily lives and often determine our success or failure.

By examining what no longer serves us, we can identify new strategies that are more productive and effective in helping us reach our highest potential!

Health and wellness coaches are the backbone of functional medicine!
We all know that just having a prescription or treatment plan does not necessarily mean you will consider the cause of your symptoms. It will also not force you to make any changes necessary to improve your overall wellness.
In this podcast, Dr. Daniela Steyn talks with Cecilia Lanier, A professional Teacher and Health Coach with the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. Cecilia explains what a health coach does and why we all need one.
Health coaches are specialists in behaviour change. They help people change when change is hard. Coaching is a partnership between experts. Coaches’ expertise is in behaviour change, and they believe the clients are experts in themselves and their own experience. The relationship is formed within an atmosphere of compassion, unconditional acceptance, and empowerment. The sessions are client-led and coach-supported.
Health coaching is, however, not for everyone as:
- Sometimes people aren’t ready to change in one area, so coaches support them wherever they are on this readiness spectrum.
- Some people are just thinking about it, sitting on the fence.
- Others might resist change and may only seek a coach because it’s been suggested by a doctor or a friend or loved one.
- Others know they need to change, are sure they want to change, and yet are discouraged because they have tried so many times and cannot succeed or sustain the change. So, they remain stuck.
- Or maybe they don’t know how to start the change or how to maintain it. It’s one thing to get a food plan or a directive for eliminating stress, but those plans, or directions don’t work if we don’t work them.
People seek coaches for many reasons, but burnout is one of the main reasons. Health and wellness coaches primarily meet people whose challenges are in one or more of these five areas:
- Food/nutrition
- Movement/exercise
- Sleep/rest,
- Stress management
- Relationships
However, coaches will also address a person’s emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual realities as it’s hard to separate the person into parts. A holistic view of the person is the best approach.
Listen to our podcast today to learn how Cecilia went through burnout and got her life back on track by implementing all the strategies she teaches as a health and wellness coach.

Sleep
Wellness MD
09/06/21 • 23 min
Welcome to today’s Wellness MD podcast! In this episode Life coach JB and her sister Dr. Daniela Steyn discuss the science behind sleep.
Sleep is the ultimate key to optimal health. Sleep influences every function in your body. It affects how your body processes food, how it regulates blood sugar, processes cognitive information and reduces inflammation. Optimizing your sleep is critical for optimal health. Getting enough good quality sleep at the right time can help you feel your best and be high functioning during the day.
A quick summary of the tips they discussed during this episode:
- Aim to get 7.5 hours of sleep, of which 10pm -2am is the most critical, so for many of us, it means going to bed earlier.
- Avoid screens, especially your phone, the hour or two before you go to bed. Ideally remove your phone from your nightstand so that is not the last thing you look at, at night. Try reading something positive or uplifting just before drifting off.
- Go outside for a walk or run first thing in the morning - or use a sunlight light if you live where there is no sun in the morning.
- Avoid caffeine in the afternoon.
- Meditate. even if it is 5 minutes a day.
- Create a bedtime routine, it can include lavender essential oil.
- Take 200mg magnesium biglycenate before bedtime.
