Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill

Is your dentist unknowingly poisoning you and destroying your health? That's the shocking question Dr. Michelle Jorgensen had to face when mysterious illness nearly ended her dental career at just 35 years old. After a decade of traditional practice, she developed devastating symptoms—brain fog so severe she couldn't remember patients' names, gut pain that made drinking water unbearable, and nerve damage that left her unable to hold dental instruments. The culprit? Mercury poisoning from drilling out silver fillings without protection for ten years! But Dr. Michelle's personal health crisis became her calling to revolutionize dentistry. Now she's exposing the hidden connections between oral health and chronic disease that could change everything about how you think about your mouth. We dive deep into the dental toxins that might be sabotaging your health—from mercury fillings leaking poison 24/7 to fluoride disrupting your thyroid function. Dr. Michelle reveals why 78% of fatal blood clots contain mouth-only bacteria, why she's never seen a cancer patient without root canals, and the shocking reason dentists have such high suicide rates. But this isn't just about problems—it's about solutions. Learn practical steps you can take right now to protect your health, including how to safely remove mercury fillings, alternatives to root canals that save 85% of "hopeless" teeth, and why switching from fluoride to hydroxyapatite could transform your oral health.   Check out Dr. Michelle's line at http://midlifeconversations.com/livingwell and use code NATALIEJILL to save    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Michelle Jorgensen:   https://www.instagram.com/livingwellwithdrmichelle  http://midlifeconversations.com/livingwell   Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Did you know that 50% of your hair disappears before you even notice it's thinning – AND – it might not just be because of hormones? Groundbreaking research reveals the real culprit: "zombie cells" accumulating in your scalp that literally sabotage your hair follicles from within. In this eye-opening conversation, Natalie sits down with Carolina, co-founder of OneSkin, to uncover the cellular science behind why traditional hair loss treatments often fall short—and why a revolutionary patented  OS-01 peptide targets aging cells at the molecular level to rejuvenate both skin and scalp. You'll discover why your scalp ages just like your skin, what creates the perfect storm for hair loss, and the surprising truth about why natural solutions can actually outperform chemical treatments when they target the right mechanisms. Carolina shares the fascinating story behind their breakthrough discovery of the OS-01 peptide, which took years to develop after testing over 900 different compounds. Whether you're already noticing thinning or want to prevent it, this conversation will completely transform how you think about hair health and aging. Plus, Natalie shares her own 3-month experiment results that surprised even her—including why she almost gave up at 8 weeks and what changed her mind.   Interested in trying OS-01 HAIR?

We dive deep into the sympathetic versus parasympathetic nervous system, the hidden epidemic of mouth breathing, and why your ancestors had perfect teeth without ever seeing a dentist.

GLP-1's have become a major topic in wellness circles, often discussed by celebrities, influencers, and even your neighbors. However, misinformation and incorrect dosing are prevalent. What most people (even doctors) don't realize is that proper, smaller doses of these compounds (specifically semaglutide) offer remarkable benefits for inflammation, brain health, pain relief, and overall wellness. Dr. Tyna Moore, a naturopathic physician, chiropractor, and pioneer of GLP-1 tiny dosing, reveals the not often spoken of benefits that are game-changers for midlife women's health and wellness.  In this episode, Dr. Tyna Moore explores five powerful GLP-1 benefits that go far beyond appetite suppression: their anti-inflammatory effects that calm overactive immune systems, neuroprotective properties that support brain health and reduce cognitive decline risk (including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), pain-relieving capabilities that help with chronic conditions, cardiovascular protection that supports heart health, and even their ability to modulate addiction and reward pathways. She also explains why proper dosing is crucial for accessing these benefits without severe side effects, how GLP-1 agonists work as part of a comprehensive health strategy, and why these medications might be particularly valuable for women dealing with the inflammatory changes that accompany hormonal shifts.  Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, brain fog, autoimmune symptoms, or just want to understand all your options for optimal midlife health, this episode reveals the science behind GLP-1 benefits that could change how you think about these powerful compounds.

Why is this 56-year-old nutrition expert taking vitamins that float instead of dissolve? Mareya Ibrahim-Jones's midlife journey reveals why most supplements fail – having not as much to do with the quality, but the way you are taking them. Learn why your collagen needs vitamin C to work, how coffee steals your magnesium, and why liposomal delivery gets nutrients directly into your cells instead of relying on your digestive system. She breaks down the science behind liposomal delivery – those mysterious floating packets that don't dissolve in water – and why this delivery method is getting important vitamins like vitamin C directly into your cells instead of just your bloodstream. Discover why that orange from Florida has lost up to 60% of its vitamin C before it reaches you, the connection between vitamin C and anxiety that most doctors miss, and how proper vitamin C absorption can be the missing link in your midlife wellness journey.   Episode Link: Save $56 (get a FREE B Complex) with purchase of the LivOn Midlife Bundle at http://livonlabs.com/nataliejill     Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Mareya Ibrahim-Jones:  https://www.instagram.com/chefmareya  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

In this episode, former news anchor turned menopause advocate and New York Times best selling author, Tamsen Fadal (who I proudly call the “Menopause Queen”), reveals the shocking reality of women's healthcare during midlife transitions. With over 1 billion women expected to be in menopause by 2025, it's shocking how unprepared most feel. Tamsen shares her personal journey as a former news anchor who experienced severe menopause symptoms and felt gaslit by the medical community – from hearing excuses like “it's just stress” or “you're in menopause…period”.  Her bestselling book, 'How to Menopause', became a beacon for many women navigating similar experiences. We dive deep into the controversial truths about hormone replacement therapy, the identity crisis that accompanies menopause, and why the fear of breast cancer has prevented an entire generation from accessing effective treatment. Tamsen shares how she transformed her health crisis into her life's mission and offers practical guidance for women ready to take charge of their menopause journey. This isn't just another hormone conversation—it's a roadmap for thriving through one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change how you think about women's health and aging.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Tamsen Fadal:  https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Why are Americans so divided about the foods we eat? When I asked one simple question about food coloring on Instagram, people weren't just disagreeing with me—they were questioning my integrity, my intelligence, and even making assumptions about my political beliefs. All over food coloring. That's when I knew I needed to have a deeper conversation about why Americans have become so polarized about nutrition, and more importantly, what the actual science says about the foods dividing us. So I sat down with Dr. Jessica Knurick, a PhD nutrition scientist specializing in chronic disease prevention, and she's spent years researching the gap between what science shows and what people actually believe about food safety. In this episode, we dive into the complexities and misconceptions surrounding food and nutrition and discuss the dangers of echo chambers in the wellness community and how they can distort reality by reinforcing pre-existing beliefs. Jessica sheds light on dividing topics such as the real science behind food coloring, the controversies of seed oils, and the benefits and risks of raw milk. Through our conversation, we aim to uncover what's fact, what's hype, and what's genuinely in our best interest for health. Join us as we explore how to navigate the sea of nutrition information, separate evidence-based truth from sensationalistic noise, and make informed choices for better health.  Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Jessica Knurick:   https://www.instagram.com/drjessicaknurick  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

In this episode, we explore the challenges and opportunities that midlife brings, focusing on how setbacks like divorce, empty nesting, or career changes can be turned into periods of transformation and growth. When our guests Joey and Lucy (hosts of the popular podcast Sweaty AF, met in a small London sauna five years ago, they were both going through the darkest chapters of their lives. Divorce proceedings, sleepless nights, hormone chaos, and that crushing feeling that their bodies had completely betrayed them. What happened next in that tiny, three-person sauna changed everything. This is the raw, honest story of how two women discovered that healing happens when you're willing to sit with discomfort – literally and figuratively. From averaging just 2-3 hours of sleep per night to building thriving businesses, transforming their relationships with their ex-husbands, and creating a community that spans continents, Joey and Lucy prove that midlife isn't about decline – it's about renaissance. They delve into the benefits of hot and cold therapy, the importance of sleep, the value of walking and natural daylight, and how creating a supportive community can lead to an overall 'glow up'. If you're feeling stuck, isolated, or like your best years are behind you, this conversation will remind you that healing and friendship can happen anywhere – even in a sweaty box with strangers who become your closest confidants.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Sweaty AF Podcast:   https://www.instagram.com/sweatyafpodcast    Want to get your own infrared sauna?

Is the sun actually the ultimate anti-aging medicine they've been trying to keep from us? While we've been scared away from sunlight for decades, groundbreaking research reveals that specific light wavelengths might be the key to reversing the hallmarks of aging at a cellular level. But that expensive red light device you bought might be nothing more than a colorful lamp with zero therapeutic benefits. With the explosion of light therapy products flooding the market, how can you tell which actually deliver cellular transformation? Natalie Jill welcomes back Sunlighten founder Connie Zack to cut through the misinformation around the red light therapy trend. You'll discover why most consumer devices completely miss the mark—including why visible red light alone is insufficient and how specific frequencies (660nm for red light and 880nm for near infrared) are essential for therapeutic effects. Connie explains the crucial difference between mere heat therapy and cellular light medicine, revealing how proper infrared creates a "vibrational molecular activation" that makes water molecules dance inside your cells. She dispels the common misconception that hotter is better, proving that temperature is completely irrelevant for results—the benefits start the moment you turn on an effective device. Learn how different light wavelengths affect your body – how far, mid, near infrared, and red light each target different biological systems. The conversation tackles how infrared therapy combats five major hallmarks of aging - addressing everything from zombie cells and inflammation to mitochondrial health and gut function.  Whether you're dealing with hormone-related mood changes, energy dips, or skin concerns, this episode offers practical insights for incorporating light therapy into your wellness routine. Natalie shares her personal experience using infrared therapy to instantly transform her mood, energy, and recovery - calling it the one age-optimization tool she wouldn't live without.   ☀️ Have questions?

What happens when a lifelong vegan doctor realizes her "healthy" diet might actually be undermining her health and identity? Dr. Aimie Apigian spent over 30 years believing veganism was the pinnacle of healthy eating—until her midlife body had other plans. She shares her dramatic transformation from being a devoted vegan to becoming a full carnivore, challenging everything we think we know about optimal nutrition for women over 40. Discover why this board-certified physician secretly ate her first fish on vacation, how a collarbone injury revealed decades of suppressed symptoms, and the surprising genetic factor that explained why her plant-based diet wasn't serving her body. Dr. Aimie breaks down the science behind protein absorption, methylation imbalances, and why quality matters more than food category when it comes to midlife nutrition. This isn't about promoting any single diet—it's about becoming your own health detective and learning to listen to what your body truly needs, even when it challenges your deepest beliefs about food and identity.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Aimie Apigaian:  https://www.instagram.com/draimie  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Choking down protein and still not seeing results? Your protein powder could actually be working AGAINST you after 40! What if everything you've been told about protein supplementation is completely wrong for midlife women? In this eye-opening episode, Natalie Jill interviews Angelo Keely, Co-Founder and CEO of Kion and renowned protein science expert, who reveals that after age 40, our bodies become increasingly resistant to the muscle-building effects of traditional protein.  The shocking truth: essential amino acids (EAA) become 4-6 times more effective than protein powder as we age, yet most women are wasting money on supplements that don't work—or worse, could be accelerating muscle loss. Taking EAAs can be a total game-changer for those aiming to lose fat while maintaining muscle mass. Learn why maintaining muscle becomes nearly impossible during weight loss without the right amino acid strategy and the science behind why the timing of your protein matters dramatically more after midlife.  If you're struggling with stubborn weight gain, muscle loss, or fatigue despite "eating more protein" this conversation uncovers the missing nutritional piece that could transform your midlife body.   Visit getkion.com/nataliejill for 20% off your order!    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About KION:  https://www.instagram.com/kion  http://getkion.com/nataliejill  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Mushroom coffee: you've seen the posts and heard the buzz, but what exactly is mushroom coffee and why are so many people, including me, raving about it? Joining me is the always insightful Wade Lightheart from BIOptimizers, who breaks down everything you need to know about the mushroom coffee hype. Wade explains why therapeutic doses of medicinal mushrooms—like lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, and chaga—can offer incredible health benefits and can transform your mental clarity without needing stimulants like coffee.

Wade shares his personal experiences with cognitive decline and how medicinal mushrooms helped him regain his mental sharpness. We also discuss the challenges with current mushroom supplements, why most fail to deliver results, how to ensure you're getting a potent and effective dose, and why combining these mushrooms with coffee might actually NOT be the best indicator of their benefits.

Have toxic skin care myths been keeping the most powerful anti-aging element from us?! In this eye-opening episode Steve Revelli, head scientist at Silver Biotics, shares the surprising truth behind silver in skincare and wellness products. Most of us think of silver as jewelry or something that tarnishes, but this misunderstood element has powerful antimicrobial properties that can transform your approach to skincare, wound healing, and muscle recovery.  Steve explains how silver has been used for millennia to fight pathogens and why it fell out of favor due to misclassification as a heavy metal. Learn how proper silver formulations target harmful bacteria, yeast, and mold without disrupting beneficial microorganisms—unlike harsh chemical antimicrobials that destroy everything and potentially disrupt hormones. We explore the pressing concerns about toxic ingredients in skincare products, why many natural alternatives seem to fall short in delivering expected results, and why silver is showing promising results for aging skin, faster wound healing with less scarring, and enhanced muscle recovery after workouts.  Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Silverbiotics: https://www.instagram.com/silverbiotics  http://midlifeconversations.com/silver      Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Is the supplement you've been avoiding actually the key to aging powerfully? At 61, JJ Virgin is challenging everything midlife women have believed about creatine. In this eye-opening conversation, JJ explains why creatine isn't just for bodybuilders but might be essential for women's cognitive function, energy production, and even skin health after 40. She dives into how women naturally store less creatine than men, why our bodies produce only about half what we need daily, and why traditional cooking methods destroy what little creatine exists in our food. She shares a revolutionary form of creatine that eliminates the bloating women typically experience, her exact dosage recommendations (including her emergency protocol for jet lag and sleep deprivation), and how creatine has helped her build more muscle in her 60s than she had decades ago.  If you're tired of being told to "take it easy" or "accept" less than favorable midlife changes, this conversation will completely reshape what you believe is possible for your body after 40 and how creatine might just be your missing link.    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube     Episode Links: Mitopure https://timeline.com/NATALIEJILL  SHEatine www.midlifeconversations.com/sheatine  Protein Powder http://midlifeconversations.com/jjprotein    Learn More About JJ Virgin: https://www.instagram.com/jj.virgin   www.midlifeconversations.com/sheatine  https://jjvirgin.com/main-podcasts/    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Is the "healthy" olive oil in your kitchen actually harming your body? Join Natalie Jill and TJ Robinson, The Olive Oil Hunter and founder of Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club, to uncover the disturbing truth about the olive oil industry. 70% of olive oils on American shelves aren't at all what they claim to be and most bottles have lost their health benefits before you even open them! TJ reveals how the "don't cook with olive oil" marketing myth was created to double industry profits, and why most people have never tasted true fresh-pressed olive oil. We discuss the health benefits of fresh-pressed olive oil and why the Mediterranean diet owes its success to this liquid gold, and why the peppery kick in authentic olive oil is actually your body's inflammation fighter. This conversation will transform how you think about this essential kitchen staple and might be the simplest change you can make for better health.    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube     Learn More About TJ Robinson: https://www.instagram.com/freshpressedoliveoilclub  http://getfreshnataliejill.com/   Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

This episode offers a judgment-free zone for women curious about eyelid procedures, with practical advice, honest recovery stories, and the empowering reminder that at this age and stage, you don't owe anyone an explanation for your personal choices. This honest chat dives into navigating the judgment that comes with beauty decisions—whether you choose interventions or age naturally—and the surprising psychological journey of seeing your face change after surgery. Host Natalie Jill and guest Karen Karlsen both emphasize that cosmetic procedures aren't about "hating yourself" but rather aligning your appearance with your vibrant internal self. They explore the disconnect that happens when your reflection doesn't match how you feel inside, and provide a detailed breakdown of different eye rejuvenation options, recovery expectations, and crucial factors to consider when selecting a surgeon.

Wonder why the heck what used to work for your workouts just doesn't cut it anymore? In this conversation I am diving in with Chalene Johnson to the realities of midlife body changes–even when the scale barely moves, how hormonal changes during perimenopause impact where we store fat, and why the workouts we used to do actually worsen our inflammation. We share the zone two approach that transformed our bodies and has kept us aging powerfully. Beyond physical changes, we discuss the importance of mindset and finding supportive female communities to empower each other.    Join us for some major midlife fun at Camp Be More www.campbemore.com    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube   Learn more about Chalene Johnson:  www.instagram.com/chalenejohnson  www.chalene.com  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Why do supplements that help others make you feel terrible? Why isn't your "healthy" diet working? Your DNA holds the answers. In this episode of Midlife Conversations, I talk with Kashif Khan, author of "The DNA Way," about how our unique genetic code determines our health outcomes in midlife. After overcoming five chronic diseases by aligning his lifestyle with his genetics, Kashif now helps others decode their DNA to prevent illness rather than just predict it. Discover why cholesterol might actually be a healing tool, how exercise affects people differently based on their genetics, and why your body's stress response could be aging you faster. Learn how understanding your genetic blueprint can transform your approach to nutrition, exercise, and stress management—potentially reversing biological aging in the process.

Could the answer to women's health be found in a microscopic superfood well known in Asia? When Catharine Arnston's sister received a breast cancer diagnosis in 2008, neither could have predicted it would launch Catharine into a 15-year deep dive into what might be the most overlooked superfood on the planet: algae. What began as research into alkaline diets evolved into a mission to transform how we approach women's health, especially during the challenging perimenopause and menopause transitions.   In this information-packed conversation, you'll discover the "double hit" women face during menopause, and why your mitochondria are literally "the lights in your building" that start dimming with age. Catharine reveals the critical enzyme (SOD) that protects your mitochondria but dramatically declines after age 30, how spirulina contains the highest concentration of this enzyme in the world, why the blue pigment in spirulina (phycocyanin) has scientists excited about its cancer-fighting potential, and why popular "green powders" and many algae supplements fail to deliver the promised benefits. We also explore the benefits of chlorella for detoxification and overall wellness and how incorporating algae into our daily routine plays a critical role in maintaining our cellular health. Listen to discover why Catharine believes "it's never too late to feel good" and how this microscopic superfood might just be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube   Learn more about Catharine and EnergyBits at:  www.instagram.com/energybits  www.midlifeconversations.com/energybits    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

What if I told you that the answer to some of your most challenging midlife symptoms could be steeping in your kitchen right now?! Yep! In a cup of tea. In a world of quick fixes and pharmaceutical solutions that might sound hard to believe, BUT for centuries, some women have turned to plants for healing. Before there were pills for every problem, there were plants for every purpose. Today's conversation with master herbalist Kita Centella reveals how ancient plant wisdom is meeting modern women's health needs – from inflammation, to cortisol, to brain fog, to sugar cravings. We dive into different herbs like Gymnema for sugar cravings and nervines and adaptogens for cortisol management and why tea is the best way to consume these herbs.    Shop Kita's Loose Leaf Tea Market at https://looseleafteamarket.com/discount/NATALIEJILL and use code NATALIEJILL to save on your order    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube     Learn more about Kita Centella:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/looseleafteamarket Website:  https://looseleafteamarket.com/discount/NATALIEJILL    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Common symptoms experienced by women during midlife, including weight gain, lack of energy, and mental fog are usually chalked up to be “just getting older” or “changing sex hormones”. But there is something critically important you need to understand: your thyroid. Thyroid health has been grossly overlooked and has been oversimplified and treated as a “one size fits all” approach. Truth is, our thyroid is far more complex (and important) than traditional doctors and blood labs make it out to be. It's actually one of the MOST critical pieces that can make or break your midlife experience. I am SURE you are going to learn A LOT from my conversation with “The Thyroid Fixer”, Dr. Amie Hornaman, on this episode. Dr. Amie has helped thousands of women navigate their thyroid health and become empowered to know exactly what to test and look for (that conventional medicine often misses), what the thyroid basics are – in simple terms, and why the thyroid should actually be your starting point when addressing your midlife health.  Save your seat in the free strategy session at https://midlifeconversations.com/thyroid    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube     Learn more about Dr. Amie Hornaman  Instagram: www.instagram.com/dramiehornaman   Website:  https://www.amiehornaman.com/    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

High blood pressure could mean your body's "garden hose" getting kinked. In this episode we discuss The Silent Killer (aka high blood pressure) and why it gets worse as we age. We get into why our hoses are kinked, what exactly is happening to make this worse in midlife, why your body might be stuck in “fight mode”, why traditional cardio is NOT the answer you thought it was, and a revolutionary approach to FIXING it – no medication necessary! Mark Young shares the fascinating science behind isometric exercise and how a simple 10-minute daily practice using the Zona device can retrain your body's natural sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, ultimately fixing your body's own blood pressure regulation system. Tune in to learn how you can incorporate this innovative tool and isometric exercises into your routine for a healthier blood pressure and better stress-managed life.   Episode Link:  Go to https://www.zona.com/nataliejill and automatically take $100 of the Zona Plus   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube   Learn more about Zona Health Instagram: www.instagram.com/zonahealth  Website:  https://www.zona.com/nataliejill    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

In a world where health advice seems to change daily, complete with contradicting opinions and research, what happens when the path forward isn't clear? For Jen Delvaux, this question became intensely personal when a routine mammogram turned her world upside down. As a health-conscious individual who thought she was doing everything “right” based on what she had been taught, her breast cancer diagnosis catapulted her to completely reimagine her approach to health and wellness. Rather than letting fear drive her decisions, Jen embarked on a remarkable journey that challenged conventional wisdom about nutrition, hormone therapy, and the very meaning of "healthy living." In this episode, Jen shares her transformative journey through breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, offering valuable wisdom for both cancer patients and those seeking to optimize their health proactively. The conversation covers controversial topics of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), dietary shifts towards plant-based eating, the impact of GLP-1 medication on her mental and physical health, and the importance of managing toxins and stress.  Her story is a lesson in making informed, personalized health decisions when faced with contradicting information. Through her thoughtful, research-backed approach, she discovered that sometimes the path to healing requires us to look beyond the headlines and tune into our own body's needs.   Visit http://midlifeconversations.com/soltec to learn more and save $100 off your purchase using the code NATALIEJILL.

Morning stiffness? Knees popping or creaking? Shoulders lacking range of motion? Hip, back, or foot pain and injuries feeling like the norm? Have you heard the traditional go-to "solutions" – like getting cortisone shots, knee replacements, wearing braces, getting massages, and taking a “no pain no gain” approach to fitness – are your best (or only) answers?    In this interview you will learn that pain is NOT an inevitable part of aging AND those "solutions" we've trusted for years? Many of them are actually making our bodies worse. Robbie Stahl (aka The Fitness Doctor) is a world leader in anti-aging fitness and shares the surprising truths about understanding how our bodies function, why we experience pain as we age, and most importantly, how to prevent and address these issues. Robbie shares his background and passion for exercise physiology, and offers insights on how to correct body imbalances, alleviate pain, and improve functionality. We also touch on the importance of mind, energy, and emotions in fitness, as well as nutrition and biomechanics.  You do NOT have to accept pain as your new normal in midlife. You don't need expensive surgeries or endless medications. What you need is to understand how your body actually works.   Want to learn more about what's really causing your pain, find lasting relief, and move better than you have in years?

If you're like most people, the last time you thought about mitochondria was probably in high school biology class. However, these tiny cellular powerhouses might be the missing link in understanding how we age and why our energy levels change as we get older.  In this conversation we're diving deep into the world of mitochondrial health, exploring how these cellular powerhouses affect everything from your afternoon energy slump to your skin's aging process. From cutting-edge compounds like Urolithin A to the fascinating connection between mitochondria and hormones, Jennifer Scheinman (not only a registered dietitian but also holds a master's degree in integrative and functional nutrition) breaks down the complex science into practical insights that could help you reclaim your energy and support your body's natural aging process. Whether you're in your thirties and thinking ahead, or already navigating the changes of midlife, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on cellular health that goes way beyond basic biology class. If you've been feeling like your internal battery isn't charging quite like it used to, this discussion might just illuminate why – and reveal some surprising solutions you haven't considered. Let's dive into what mitochondria actually are and why they matter, especially for those of us in midlife and beyond.
