Welcome to Meet Your Body with Jessica Valant, MSPT — a podcast dedicated to helping women feel strong, safe and empowered in their bodies through every season of life. Combining science-backed education, professional expertise, advocacy, and compassion, Jessica brings honest conversations and practical tools to the complex world of women’s health and aging.
Each episode explores the topics women are too often left to navigate alone, including perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis, hysterectomy, prolapse, infertility, exercise, aging, recovery, body image, and learning how to advocate for yourself in healthcare and everyday life. Through expert guests, personal stories, actionable strategies, and evidence-based guidance, Jessica helps listeners cut through misinformation and reconnect with their bodies with more confidence and clarity.
Drawing from both her professional experience as a physical therapist & women’s health expert and her own personal health journey, Jessica offers a grounded, empowering approach to aging, healing, movement, and wellness — reminding women that strength is possible at every stage of life.
It seems like everywhere we turn, there’s another wellness trend promising to help us look younger, feel better, live longer or optimize our health. Full-body scans, peptides, weighted vests, skin treatments, supplements, hormone therapy—the list is endless!
But how do we decide what’s actually worth doing?
In this episode of Meet Your Body, physical therapist and women’s health expert Jessica Valant shares the aging and wellness trends she’s currently embracing, the ones she’s choosing to skip and the personal reasons behind those decisions.
At 48, with a history of breast cancer, endometriosis, multiple surgeries and changing hormones, Jessica has learned that more testing, more treatments and more wellness strategies aren’t always the answer.
Jessica also explains two important things: Just because she’s choosing not to do something doesn’t mean it isn’t beneficial for someone else. And just because she’s skipping it today doesn’t mean she won’t reconsider in the future.
This isn’t about finding the perfect anti-aging routine or convincing everyone to make the same choices. It’s about learning to evaluate health trends through the lens of your own body, medical history, goals and quality of life.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by everything you’re supposedly supposed to be doing to age well, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to do it all.
