This episode is not intended to suggest that AI should replace licensed mental health professionals. AI may be a helpful source of information or support for some people, but it should be viewed as a complement to, not a substitute for, professional mental health evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.

  From Bestsellers to Barbells: A Former Editor's Midlife Reinvention

  Jul 13, 202657 min

  Before she was coaching women through strength training and hormone shifts, this week's guest was deep in the world of book publishing and public relations. Today, she's a holistic midlife and menopause coach based in Greenwich, CT, and a Studio Leader at Life Time in Harrison, NY. Over the past decade, she's helped women of all ages reclaim their health through fitness, nutrition, and mindset work. In this episode, we talk about the career pivot that took her from editing manuscripts to coaching bodies and minds, what she wishes more women understood about perimenopause and menopause, and why strength training looks different (and matters more) in midlife. We also get into the mindset piece. How do we separate what's actually happening to our bodies hormonally from the stories we tell ourselves about aging, energy, and capability. Whether you're in the thick of menopause, anticipating it, or just curious what a truly holistic approach to midlife health looks like, this conversation is full of practical, grounded wisdom. Hilary Rifkin is a 61-year-old former book editor and public relations executive. She has spent the last decade empowering women of all ages through fitness, nutrition and mindset coaching. Hilary is now a holistic midlife and menopause coach based in Greenwich, CT. She is also Studio Leader at Life Time in Harrison, NY.

  Reshaping the Future of Healthcare with Genetic Screening

  Jun 21, 202656 min

  On this episode of Her Health Compass, Heather and Yonni explore something with the potential to reshape the future of healthcare — genetic screening. Many people assume genetics only matter when there’s a strong family history of disease, but advances in screening show that understanding your genetic risk can guide prevention, early detection, and even life-saving decisions. Heather and Yonni are joined by Emily Goldberg of JScreen, a national nonprofit providing accessible genetic testing and education. Together, they dive into how genetic screening actually works, who should consider it, and what your DNA can reveal about risks for hereditary conditions like breast cancer. They also unpack the biggest misconceptions about genetic testing — and how knowing your genetics can empower listeners to take real control of their health. Emily Goldberg serves as the Director of Genetic Counseling Services at jscreen, where she is dedicated to helping individuals understand and manage their genetic health. With dual bachelor’s degrees in biology and psychology from Brandeis University and a master’s degree in Human Genetics from Sarah Lawrence College, Ms. Goldberg has been a certified genetic counselor since 2011. Prior to joining jscreen, she worked at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, specializing in prenatal and cancer genetics. In addition to her role at Jscreen, Ms. Goldberg is committed to education, serving as an Instructor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and adjunct faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, where she teaches and mentors future genetic counselors. Her expertise and dedication make her a key member of the Jscreen team. Sponsor shout-out: Throughout 2026 we are proud to sponsor who puts are, intention and wellness first.
