  From Aspiring Doctor to Health Innovator: Kwame Terra’s Mission to Transform Black Health

  Oct 3, 202652 min

  What if improving health wasn’t just about telling people what to eat or how much to exercise—but about building stronger communities, setting meaningful goals, creating better environments, and designing solutions with the people they’re meant to serve? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine sits down with Kwame Terra , founder of bEHR Health , to explore his journey from aspiring orthopedic surgeon to public health innovator. Kwame shares how his early experiences in research, behavioral neuroscience, mindfulness, and public health shifted his focus from treating disease to asking a bigger question: How can we address the conditions influencing health before disease develops? That question eventually led to bEHR Health, a community-centered health platform designed to help improve health outcomes within Black communities through education, engagement, technology, and real-time data. Kwame explains why community is one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—pieces of the health equation. Through Bare Connect , community members can gather, work, learn, exercise, host events, and create wellness initiatives based on what their community actually wants and needs. The conversation also explores Community-Based Participatory Research , an approach that invites community members to become active partners in identifying problems and developing solutions rather than having programs imposed from the top down. Kwame and Dana discuss nutrition, lifestyle, mindfulness, access to healthy choices, health disparities, goal setting, social connection, and the potential for real-time health data to help communities identify what is actually creating meaningful change. Kwame also shares a powerful perspective on longevity: living longer begins with having something meaningful to live for . Inspiration, purpose, connection, and meaningful goals can encourage people to become more engaged with their own lives and health. Words of Wisdom “The perceived separation is merely a perception.” And when something doesn’t work? Learn from it, change your approach, and try again.

  The Perfect Storm: When Grief and Menopause Collide | Part 2

  Oct 2, 202622 min

  What happens when grief, menopause, chronic stress, and years of “holding it all together” collide? In Part 2 of this deeply personal Wise Divine Women Podcast series, Dana Irvine shares a side of her story she has never fully explored publicly: the connection between grief, hormonal change, emotional flatness, and the nervous system. After losing her sister Deanna to brain cancer, Dana continued doing what so many women do—working, caring for others, building businesses, supporting family, and staying strong. But years later, she began asking a difficult question: Why do I sometimes feel disconnected from my emotions and empathy? Dana explores how unresolved grief may lead the nervous system to create protective responses that help us remain functional during overwhelming seasons. She also examines what can happen when this emotional load overlaps with the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen, progesterone, serotonin, dopamine, GABA, cortisol, and the HPA axis all play important roles in mood, connection, stress response, sleep, and emotional resilience. When hormonal changes meet chronic stress and grief, the result can feel like a “perfect storm” of depletion. Dana shares how she began recognizing these patterns not only emotionally, but through her own functional health testing—including hormone testing, gut health analysis, thermography, bloodwork, and DNA insights. This episode is not about being broken. It is about becoming curious about what the body may be communicating—and recognizing when it is time to stop simply pushing through. In This Episode: How grief can affect emotional connection and nervous system regulation Why being “the strong one” can come with a hidden cost The relationship between menopause, estrogen, progesterone, and emotional wellbeing How serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and cortisol influence mood and resilience Chronic stress and HPA-axis activation The gut-brain connection and emotional health Why Dana describes her experience as “body-wide depletion” Using functional testing to better understand individual patterns Moving from survival and willpower toward healing and connection Key Takeaway Sometimes emotional flatness is not a lack of love or caring. It may be the result of years of stress, grief, hormonal change, and a nervous system trying to keep you functioning. Dana believes depletion can be addressed—and that understanding your unique body may be an important first step toward reconnecting with yourself.

  Reclaiming Pleasure at Any Age: Pelvic Floor Power, Pompoir & Women’s Sexuality with Bel DiLorenzo

  Oct 1, 202635 min

  What if your sexuality didn’t have an expiration date? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine sits down with Bel DiLorenzo for an open, empowering conversation about pelvic health, intimacy, libido, aging, and the fascinating practice of Pompoir —a method of developing strength, awareness, and intentional control of the pelvic floor muscles. Bel’s journey began during the pandemic, when she searched for ways to improve intimacy in her own relationship. Her research led her to Pompoir, a practice believed to have historical roots in India. But when Bel tried to learn it, she found very little clear, practical instruction. Bel shares stories of women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s discovering that they can continue learning about their bodies and reconnecting with pleasure. One particularly powerful story involves an 86-year-old student who used the practice to reconnect with a sensual, confident part of herself she felt she had lost. This conversation isn't simply about sex. It is about body agency, self-connection, confidence, curiosity, and giving women permission to continue discovering themselves throughout every season of life. Bel also discusses her desire to see more scientific research examining sexuality alongside areas such as sleep, energy, health, and longevity. A Powerful Reminder One of Bel’s central messages is: “We have a lot more agency over our bodies and our pleasure than we were taught to believe.” Whether you are navigating postpartum changes, perimenopause, menopause, changing libido, or simply wanting to reconnect with your body, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: sexuality and sensuality can remain meaningful parts of who we are at every age. Connect with Bel Bel offers Pompoir education, an animated training program, coaching, a book, articles, videos, and free educational resources through her work at Goddess.

  When Menopause Changes How You Feel: Rebuilding Connection | Part 1

  Oct 1, 202615 min

  What happens when you look at your life and realize you’ve been functioning, achieving, caring for everyone else… but somehow don’t feel fully connected to yourself? In Part 1 of this personal Wise Divine Women Podcast series, Dana Irvine opens an honest conversation about menopause, emotional flatness, empathy, grief, and the biological factors that may influence how women feel during midlife. Dana shares the question that started her own exploration: Why do I sometimes feel like I’ve lost my empathy? Although she continues to care deeply for others, Dana describes feeling depleted, disconnected, and sometimes as though she has been watching life through a window rather than fully experiencing it. Looking back over nearly a decade, she began questioning whether menopause, grief, stress, hormones, gut health, and her own genetics were all contributing pieces. Rather than accepting these changes as simply “getting older,” Dana began reviewing years of information from her blood work, hormone testing, thermography, gut testing, and earlier DNA results. What emerged was a new perspective: emotional wellbeing may not be about mindset alone. Our biology, life experiences, hormonal shifts, stress, and individual genetic tendencies can all become part of a much larger picture. This episode begins Dana’s journey of putting those pieces together and learning how to rebuild from a place of greater understanding, precision, and self-awareness. In This Episode: Dana’s personal experience with menopause and emotional disconnect What “lack of empathy” can feel like in everyday life Feeling present while still feeling emotionally flat Why menopause experiences can look completely different from woman to woman The impact of grief and emotional depletion Reviewing blood work, hormone testing, gut health, thermography, and DNA Why your health story is rarely explained by one single factor Moving beyond random wellness strategies toward greater precision Key Takeaway Feeling emotionally disconnected does not necessarily mean you have stopped caring. For Dana, asking difficult questions opened the door to exploring how grief, menopause, biology, stress, and depletion may have intersected during this season of life.

  Pleasure Is Your Birthright: Transforming Trauma, Libido & the Nervous System with Brooke Bralove

  Sep 29, 202629 min

  What if healing didn’t always require years of retelling your story? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine sits down with psychotherapist and sex therapist Brooke Bralove for a powerful conversation about trauma, the nervous system, intimacy, pelvic pain, libido, and a therapeutic approach called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) . Brooke has spent more than 22 years as a psychotherapist, working with women navigating anxiety, relationships, sexuality, shame, identity, and the transitions that often accompany midlife. Her own experience with ART after a painful breakup led her to train in the modality and eventually incorporate it deeply into her practice. ART uses rapid eye movements and voluntary image replacement to work with distressing memories, images, and the physical sensations connected to them. Brooke explains why understanding a traumatic experience intellectually doesn't always change the body's response—and why addressing the nervous system can be an important part of healing. When the Body Remembers This conversation takes an especially important turn when Dana and Brooke discuss pelvic pain, painful intimacy, and low libido . When intimacy has repeatedly been associated with pain, the body may begin anticipating danger before anything has even happened. A kiss, touch, or initiation of intimacy may trigger guarding, tension, avoidance, or a fight-or-flight-or-freeze response. Brooke shares how ART works with the images and body sensations connected to those experiences and then uses imagery to help create a different emotional and physical response. Midlife, Desire & Reconnecting With Yourself Midlife can bring far more than hormonal changes. Women may be navigating empty nesting, changing relationships, identity shifts, painful sex, loss of desire, career transitions, and the feeling that they simply don't recognize themselves anymore. Brooke sees many women who love their partners but say the “fire” has disappeared. Rather than treating libido as an isolated symptom, this conversation invites women to consider the relationship between desire, emotional history, physical comfort, relationships, and nervous-system safety. Brooke leaves us with a message every woman deserves to hear: “Pleasure is your birthright.” Pleasure isn't something women need to apologize for wanting. Brooke encourages women to recognize their right to seek, experience, communicate, and ask for pleasure throughout every season of life. that ART can be offered virtually or in person, and that Connect with Brooke Bralove Website: brookbraylove.com Instagram: @brookbraylove Connect with Dana Dana Irvine, FDNP Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner • Breast Health Educator • Host of the Wise Divine Women Podcast If you're ready to understand the deeper patterns influencing your hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, and whole-body wellness , DanaIrvine.com to learn more or book a Health Clarity Call.
