  • The Truth About Keeping Weight Off (Why Most People Fail!)
    Your body is wired for survival, not aesthetics, and the moment you lose weight, it fights back with everything it's got. I've seen too many women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond lose significant weight only to watch it creep back on—sometimes leaving them worse off than when they started. The harsh reality is that your metabolism can drop 5-20% lower than it should be after weight loss, your hunger hormones go haywire, and your body literally pushes you to overeat. But here's what the National Weight Control Registry has taught us about the people who successfully keep weight off: they don't just maintain—they continuously evolve their approach. They move more, eat consistently, track their progress, and most importantly, they transform their identity from someone who lost weight to someone who lives like a naturally lean person. The secret isn't perfection; it's understanding that staying where you want to be requires different strategies than getting there in the first place.   What you’ll learn: Why your metabolism drops more than expected after weight loss and how to combat metabolic adaptation The specific exercise requirements for successful weight maintenance (hint: it's more than you think) How to navigate hunger hormones that sabotage your efforts and practical solutions to stay satisfied The controversial daily habits that 80% of successful maintainers practice consistently Why tracking and monitoring become even more critical in maintenance than during weight loss How to shift your identity and lifestyle to match your new body composition goals The role of sleep and stress in weight regain and how to protect your progress When to seek help if your weight starts creeping back up despite doing everything right Love the Podcast?

  • Detoxify Your Life Without Losing Your Mind with Dr. Aly Cohen
    "Chemicals are actually more dangerous at low doses than high ones... they're small amounts, but they're able to do a lot with the size and concentration and power of what they are." – Dr. Aly Cohen I invited back triple board-certified physician Dr. Aly Cohen to tackle the intimidating world of environmental toxins. As a rheumatologist, internist, and integrative medicine specialist, she brings a uniquely practical approach to a topic that can feel overwhelming. What I love about Aly's perspective is her emphasis on making reasonable, sustainable changes rather than attempting perfection. We explored how these small daily exposures accumulate in our bodies over time, the biggest offenders to focus on first, and her practical four-step process for reducing your toxic load without driving yourself crazy. If you've ever felt paralyzed by information overload about toxins, this conversation offers a refreshingly sane roadmap to better health.   What you’ll learn: Why low-dose chemical exposures can be more dangerous than acute exposures and how they accumulate over time The "Four A's" approach to detoxification that makes reducing toxins manageable Which toxin sources make the biggest impact on your health (and should be addressed first) How clean food and water choices can immediately remove thousands of harmful chemicals from your daily exposure The powerful connection between toxins and weight challenges, including how toxins can prevent weight loss Why filtering your water is one of the highest-impact changes you can make Simple travel hacks to reduce your toxic load even when away from home The importance of adding in foods and practices that support your body's natural detoxification Love the Podcast?

  • Joint Pain in Menopause? What’s Really Causing It (and How to Fix It Naturally
    I was shocked when my dentist connected my bleeding gums to low estrogen – the same culprit behind my achy joints and poor recovery! This revelation unlocked my understanding of what Dr. Vonda Wright calls the "Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause." If you're waking up feeling stiff, experiencing joint pain, or noticing your body doesn't bounce back like it used to, you're not crazy or broken – you're experiencing a natural but manageable part of midlife. Contrary to popular advice, the answer isn't to move less or accept joint pain as inevitable. I'm sharing the science-backed strategies that helped me delay knee surgery for 25 years and recently transformed my debilitating foot pain into pain-free walking, from strength training protocols to regenerative therapies and anti-inflammatory nutrition approaches that actually work.   What you’ll learn: Why joint pain often emerges during perimenopause and menopause (hint: it's about more than just aging) The truth about movement – why "protecting" your joints by moving less actually makes them worse How certain foods can dramatically increase or decrease joint inflammation The critical connection between gut health, inflammation, and joint pain Which supplements have research-backed benefits for joint health (and the specific ones I take daily) Strategies to balance muscle-building against fat gain to protect your joints How regenerative therapies like PRP, stem cells, and cutting-edge treatments can help rebuild cartilage Love the Podcast?

  • Reclaiming Your Sexual Power After 40 with Susan Bratton
    "Passionate lovemaking is a mindfulness practice. Even for me now, I have to get in there, connect with my husband, and focus on sensation." – Susan Bratton I sat down with my longtime friend Susan Bratton, intimacy expert to millions and respected sexual biohacker, for a conversation that was even more fulfilling than I anticipated. Susan advocates for all who desire intimacy and passion throughout their entire lives, and she's here to shatter the myth that sexuality diminishes with age. Quite the opposite – she explains how we can experience our most profound pleasure in our 60s and beyond! Susan reveals that studies show people who continue having passionate lovemaking throughout their lifespan live 10 years longer, look 10 years younger, and die significantly happier. We explore how sexual wellness creates a cascade of beneficial neurotransmitters, oxygenates your brain, improves immune function, and releases natural killer cells (think sexual autophagy!). Most illuminating was her revelation that women need 20-30 minutes of arousal time for full engorgement and pleasure potential – a crucial insight many couples miss. Susan emphasizes that healthy sexuality requires both trust/safety AND variety/novelty, and that our bodies continue responding to the moon's cycles even after menopause. For women struggling with self-judgment or uncertainty about their desires, Susan offers practical communication strategies that transform disconnection into ecstatic connection with both yourself and your partner.   What you’ll learn: Why extending your "sex span" directly extends your lifespan and healthspan How women need 20-30 minutes of arousal time for full erectile function and pleasure potential The importance of nitric oxide for sexual blood flow and engorgement as we age Why bedroom communication is the foundation for passionate, connected intimacy How to create a "sex life bucket list" to maintain novelty and excitement with your partner Orgasms are simply learned skills that can be developed at any age The role oxytocin plays in relieving stress and improving overall well-being Strategies for shifting from your busy mind into full-body pleasure Love the Podcast?

  • Can You Really Boost Your Metabolism? (What Actually Works)
    I'm pulling back the curtain on metabolism myths and sharing what really works for women navigating midlife changes. The truth is, your metabolism isn't simply "fast" or "slow" - it's a complex system where small adjustments can create meaningful change. Forget the trendy metabolism hacks that promise miracles! I'll reveal why prioritizing sleep might be more powerful than that cold plunge you've been suffering through, how fidgeting and everyday movement (yes, really!) outperforms your cardio session, and the one supplement that genuinely makes a difference for your metabolic health. These science-backed strategies have helped thousands of my clients reclaim their energy and transform their relationship with their body during perimenopause and beyond.   What you’ll learn: Why the concept of "fast" versus "slow" metabolism is misleading and what actually drives your daily calorie burn How NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) can burn up to 2000 calories daily - far more than traditional workouts The surprising connection between sleep quality and metabolic health, especially during perimenopause Why protein timing and quantity are non-negotiable for maintaining muscle mass and metabolism The truth about "fat burner" supplements versus what actually works for metabolic support Simple hydration strategies that prevent your body from storing fat How resistance training creates metabolic changes that continue long after your workout ends Love the Podcast?
