When Women's Health Finally Gets the Spotlight: A Conversation on Menopause with Dr. Christina Kintop
Let’s be real—women are tired of not being heard, especially when it comes to our health.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Christina Kentopp, a fourth-generation chiropractor, nutrition expert, and soul-centered practitioner who actually listens. We’re talking menopause, perimenopause, mood swings, mystery symptoms, and why so many women walk out of their doctor’s office with normal labs but still don’t feel normal.
This conversation is filled with personal stories, laughter, eye-opening stats, and practical ways to reclaim your energy, intuition, and whole-body wellness—without giving up your chocolate or your coffee. (You’re safe here. We promise.)
Whether you’re approaching menopause, in the thick of it, or just feeling off—this episode is a love letter to your body and a call to stop settling.
“Common doesn’t mean normal - and you don’t have to suffer just because you’ve been told it’s part of aging.”

Hey Heart & Soul Collective!
What if the exhaustion, mood swings, or brain fog you’ve been brushing off as “just getting older” were actually something your doctor never told you about? What if you could reclaim your energy, clarity, and joy in the years you thought you’d be slowing down?
This week’s episode is one of those conversations that makes you want to take notes, text your girlfriends, and march straight into your next doctor’s appointment with a list of questions.
We sat down with our dear friend and women’s health advocate, Dr. Christina Kintop—a fourth-generation chiropractor, nutrition counselor, and truth-teller about menopause—to talk about the real symptoms, the overlooked signs, and why so many women feel invisible in the medical system during this chapter of life.
From our first encounters with Chrissy—whether working side-by-side at weddings or connecting in yoga class—we’ve known her as someone who listens deeply and sees the whole person. Today, she brings that same presence and wisdom to a topic that impacts half the population, yet is still underfunded, under-researched, and under-discussed.
