This SEAM Salon was recorded live during an intimate gathering of women brought together by the Lynne Cohen Foundation for a candid, expert-led conversation about menopause, hormone therapy, cancer risk, preventive care, and the questions women are often left to navigate alone.

Is it just me or does it feel like everyone is sick right now? Flu season comes around every year, and no matter how careful we are, and this year it feels more prevalent than ever before. If and when it hits you, the key to a faster recovery isn’t just masking symptoms with over-the-counter meds—it’s giving your body what it actually needs to heal. Your immune system is designed to fight off infections, but it works best when properly supported with the right nutrients, supplements, and lifestyle habits…

There is so much controversy in the world of wellness on what is actually “healthy” for you. Personally, I am a huge believer in bio-individuality, and that one person’s food can be another person’s poison, in other words, what might be extremely healing for you may not be as beneficial for your friend. However, water is the one thing that I can say is, without a doubt,  essential for all people. After all, our body is made up of about 70% water so it makes sense that ingesting water is an absolute necessity for every cell in our body in order to function properly.

For Stephanie Matsuba—artist, actress, and instructor at BURN Los Angeles—movement has never been just about fitness. In this deeply honest conversation, Stephanie sits down with Amy Cohen Epstein to reflect on her journey living with bipolar II disorder, the early physical and emotional signals she learned to suppress, and the long road toward diagnosis, self-understanding, and care. From navigating illness as a teenager to discovering the stabilizing power of routine, structure, and community, this episode explores how mental health, movement, and self-advocacy intersect—and why listening to your body matters at every stage of life.

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately looking into peptides and trying new ones myself. Specifically, the quieter peptides that support how the body actually works. The kind that don’t push or stimulate, but instead help systems communicate better, adapt more gracefully, and recover more efficiently. Those are the ones that really hold my attention, especially when the conversation is about aging well, not fighting age, but supporting the body as it changes.

In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Annbeth Eschbach, a pioneering women’s longevity specialist and founder of Reset One, to unpack what longevity really means for women today. Moving beyond buzzwords and biohacking hype, Annbeth shares her thoughts on how to shift from reactive healthcare to proactive health-span optimization, the realities of perimenopause and hormone care, why muscle is a critical longevity organ, and how women can reclaim agency over their health through data-driven, physician-led care.

After cancer treatment ends, many survivors are told to celebrate and move on — but the emotional aftermath is often far more complicated. In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Shay Moraga, founder of Shay’s Warriors, to explore the rarely discussed reality of life after cancer.

Diagnosed with stage III triple-negative breast cancer at just 38, Shay shares how subtle symptoms were dismissed, how survivorship brought unexpected loneliness, and how that experience led her to create a community focused on healing beyond treatment. Together, Amy and Shay discuss fear of recurrence, identity after illness, accountability, and why collaboration is essential in women’s health and cancer advocacy.

Grief doesn’t end when someone dies—it evolves, deepens, and sometimes transforms into purpose. In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Emmy-winning actress, producer, and podcast host Nikki Boyer on the eve of her 50th birthday to reflect on friendship, caregiving, and what it means to carry someone you love forward after loss. Nikki opens up about her relationship with her best friend Molly—whose story became the groundbreaking podcast and FX series Dying for Sex—and the ways grief, legacy, and love continue to shape her life, marriage, and sense of meaning.

Breast cancer survivor Gina Lamanna joins Amy Cohen Epstein for an unfiltered conversation about intuition, self-advocacy, body confidence, and healing after treatment. From early diagnosis to founding The Fondle Project, this episode explores how knowing your body—and trusting yourself—can save lives.

For more than a decade, broadcast journalist Marla Tellez has lent her voice, visibility, and heart to Kickin’ Cancer, the Lynne Cohen Foundation’s annual 5K/10K supporting breast and ovarian cancer prevention. In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Marla reflects on what the event means to her today—now as a new mother—while sharing how motherhood, recovery, and advocacy have reshaped her relationship to health, work, and purpose.

Reproductive health is rarely discussed early enough—or holistically enough— for women facing cancer. In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, host Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Dr. Roohi Jeelani, a double board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist, to unpack what doctors know—but patients are rarely told—about fertility preservation, oncofertility, longevity medicine, and women’s reproductive health across the lifespan.
