In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity. This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it. Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition. Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies. The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this! Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.

Dr. Maria Sophocles examines the “bedroom gap,” the disparity in sexual expectations and challenges between men and women in midlife. In this episode, she explains how menopausal hormonal changes, together with psychological and cultural pressures, affect women's sexual agency. Many women internalize norms that prioritize a partner's needs over their own, leading to shame about reduced libido. This conversation is a call to action for women to prioritize their sexual health and engage in honest dialogue to support healthier, more fulfilling relationships.Episode Overview (timestamps are approximate):(0:00) Intro/Teaser(5:00) The Bedroom Gap(10:00) Hormones & The Neiman Marcus to IKEA Transition(14:00) Systemic Estrogen vs. Vaginal & The Cancer Fear(23:00) Hormone Therapy & The Healthy User Bias(26:00) Non-Hormonal Options(32:00) Sex After a Heart Attack(40:00) Sex Span as Health Span(42:00) Why Women Think Sex Is For Men(49:00) Where to Learn About Sex(55:00) How to Talk to Your Partner(1:10:00) Redefining Sex at Any Age(1:13:00) After Party with Dr. StephanieResources mentioned can be found at https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep456We couldn't do it without our sponsors:KENETIK - You think carefully about how you fuel your body but are you fueling your brain?

Publishing your book is a moment worth celebrating—but what happens next is what truly determines your book's impact. The most successful authors aren't the ones with the loudest voices or biggest followings—they're the ones who build relationships, create systems, and stay focused on the long game. A strong book launch isn't about short-term buzz. It's about building a bridge between your book and your business. When you treat your book as a strategic asset, every review, podcast interview, and event becomes a stepping stone toward greater visibility and revenue. That's the lens I bring as a book launch strategist. I help authors design launches that feel authentic, achievable, and aligned—using launch teams, soft launch strategy, and virtual events to generate reviews, referrals, and results.

In this episode, I'm joined again by dating coach Laurie Gerber (Love at Any Age) to unpack one of the biggest midlife dating challenges: how fast is too fast… and how slow is too slow? Midlife dating mixed with dating apps can create a pacing problem: momentum matters, but trust matters too… and misreading either one can derail the whole thing.Laurie and I compare our two approaches—hers from a woman's trust-and-safety lens, mine from a man's momentum-and-street-reps lens—and we lay the groundwork for a practical, balanced way to date smarter.In this episode, you'll learn:The core “Momentum vs Trust” tension (pressure alarm vs lost match)Thoughts on meeting people organically with more strategyNeedy or prepared?Laurie's proven funnel: Text (1–2 weeks) → Video chat → Coffee dateWhat's the magic balance point for keeping momentum while building trust?About Laurie GerberLaurie Gerber is the founder of Laurie Gerber Coaching, Inc. and the creator of Master the Art of Love, an online course for women over 50 who are ready to date like they mean it.

She founded her own successful accounting and financial planning firm before selling to an ASX listed company just before Covid. Over the past 13 years, Mel has also written 5 books about business and money including the global bestseller, Unf*ck Your Finances, and her latest book (released Feb 2026), Dare to be Wealthy. So, she has the theory. But Mel also has the life experience. She grew up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney in a violent, often inconsistent household and came back from less than nothing in her early thirties, after giving all of her money to charity (a move she instantly regretted). Despite these starts, set-backs and mistakes – she is now a multi-millionaire gaining financial independence from the strategies she put in place for herself. Mel genuinely believes, as a result of her own story and working with tens of thousands of women and families, that understanding how to build wealth shouldn't be abdicated or just for the select few who can afford it – but is something that everyone can achieve. Mel is regularly asked to comment on money and finances making regular TV and radio appearances including Triple J's The Hack, the Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, Weekend Today, Sky Business and The Daily Edition. She has also been featured in or written articles for a variety of places including CEO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Who, Vogue, Yahoo Finance and had a fortnightly column in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Age for 7 years.

If it feels like you've lived a year inside of a month right now, you're not alone. The cycle of our times is relentless and demands more of our attention and emotional capacity than we were ever meant to carry.This disorientation makes us more prone to disengagement, burnout, cynicism, and the lure of certainty. We also risk what social psychologists call moral narrowing, where our moral attention and empathy constrict to a smaller set of people or issues—often those we identify with directly—while excluding or devaluing others outside that circle. We can become more rigid, less able to tolerate complexity, and more likely to simplify moral dilemmas into “us versus them.” Even the most caring people are susceptible to moral narrowing when they're constantly overwhelmed. But we can build skills that help us move through grief, tolerate uncertainty, and stay engaged without losing ourselves.We need to train for these times, not just intellectually, but relationally and somatically. We need to be able to stay in the room long enough to build lasting connections and coalitions.My guest today models what it looks like to think and lead with the long game in mind while also tending to present-day relationships and her own well-being. She reminds us that despair is not a strategy and that steady, relational, local action is how we keep the future from being decided by the loudest and most reckless forces in the room.A'shanti F.

Is your dating confidence low? Do you ever ask yourself if it's really possible to reinvent your love life at your age? In Episode 428 of The Charisma Quotient, "Dating Confidence at Any Age with The Golden Bachelor's Edith Aguirre" dives deep into the concept of confidence with her special guest Edith Aguirre, Season One star from The Golden Bachelor. Together, they explore what it means to cultivate "second act charisma"—the confidence that blooms not from perfection or external validation, but from genuine self-connection, presence, and embracing where you are in life.

Highlights for this episode:In this episode, I bring on dating coach Laurie Gerber to coach me in real time—so you can hear exactly how a pro would tune up your dating life, too. Laurie and I talk about my 104/100 score on her “Are You Ready to Date Like You Mean It?” quiz, my 7 deal-makers, and why I've been attracting the wrong attachment styles for years. We discuss approaches to vetting on dating apps—my faster-paced, phone-call filter versus her methodical, text-and-video-chat approach. In this episode, you'll learn:Laurie's 3 stages of dating over 50 and obstacles that often keep people stuck in “not quite ready” mode. Why you may be attracting the same attachment styles that help to explain why you keep attracting the same kind of partner—and what to do about it. Discussion of Deal Makers/Breakers to keep them positive and inspiring rather than secretly negative and judgmental. A practical framework (Head–Heart–Hoo-ha) for assessing compatibility in midlife dating. Laurie and Paul debate how quickly you should get to the phone call. Why moving too fast to the phone can cost you potential matches—and why Laurie prefers video chats.About Laurie GerberLaurie Gerber is the founder of Laurie Gerber Coaching, Inc. and the creator of Master the Art of Love, an online course for women over 50 who are ready to date like they mean it.

Welcome to today's episode with host Sadie and a medical panel of three Hoffman Process graduates who are also esteemed medical practitioners. Our host, Sadie, Carrie Levine, Dr. David Hanscom, and Dr. Kash Trivedi engage in this powerful conversation. They cover the connection between emotional health and physical health, the mind-body connection, finding the safety within needed to heal, and so much more. With her background as a licensed Nurse Practitioner, Sadie guides the panel with insightful questions. Our guests answer through their embodied learning from both the Process and their many years of medical practice. They share insights on what it means to practice medicine with awareness, compassion, and the knowledge that can help guide their patients to deeper healing. As the conversation goes deeper into the idea of healing needing a sense of safety, Sadie then asks the panel if we each can "take responsibility for our inner experience of safety?" Carrie responds, saying, "I think we have to. I don't know that anybody else can do that for us. ... I think it's on us." We hope you enjoy this conversation with Carrie, Davide, Kash, and Sadie. Please note: While this conversation is about medicine, healing, and health, please note that what is shared here is strictly for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

In this week's BeBattleReady podcast, Simon Ward welcomes back Dr Tommy Wood to explore one of the most researched yet misunderstood supplements - creatine. While most athletes associate it with muscle strength, Tommy explains why its benefits go far beyond the gym, extending to brain health, cognitive function, and ageing well. Together, they unpack how creatine works, who should consider supplementing, the differences between athletic and cognitive benefits, and why it might be particularly valuable for older athletes and post-menopausal women. Key Points Discussed: Creatine as a brain protector: Originally known for supporting strength and power, creatine also acts as an energy buffer for the brain, helping maintain cellular energy after head trauma and possibly reducing cognitive decline. Who benefits most: While everyone can gain from adequate creatine levels, the strongest evidence shows benefits for older adults, athletes at risk of head injury, and women in peri- and post-menopause — particularly for memory and bone health. Dosing, loading, and myths: You don't need the old “loading phase.” Regular small doses (3–5 g daily) are safe and effective. The minor weight gain some notice is simply better muscle hydration, not “bloating.” Sleep, mood, and cognition: Studies show creatine can offset mental fatigue and cognitive decline during sleep deprivation, and even support mood when used alongside standard therapy for depression. Safety and practical takeaways: Creatine monohydrate (especially the Creapure® form) remains the gold standard. It's safe for most people, though those with kidney issues should consult their doctor. Foods like sardines, herring, mackerel, and red meat also provide natural sources. Key Quotation: “Creatine is probably one of the most studied supplements in the world — and on balance, it's safe, effective, and beneficial for both the body and the brain.” — Dr Tommy Wood Connect with Dr. Tommy Wood: Website: drtommywood.com Instagram: DrTommyWood Substack: Better Brain Fitness Podcast: Better Brain Fitness Podcast Dr. Tommy Wood's Book (Pre-order now): The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age (Release: March 24, 2026) Book Recommendations: Attention Span by Gloria Mark - how to find focus for a fulfilling life.

Through his healing piano music and reflective writing, he shares insights on purpose, mindfulness, and blossoming in later life.Steve discovered his calling in later life, beginning piano at age 50 with no prior formal training. During the isolation of COVID, he found that music could be a healing force, both for himself and others. This revelation led to his composing and recording two original albums of soothing, restorative piano music:Sweet Dreams: Piano for Encouraging Calm, Restful Sleep and DreamCalmer Days, More Peaceful NightsHis music has touched listeners worldwide, offering calm, comfort, and reflective space in a noisy world.

In this episode of Remodelers on the Rise, Kyle sits down with Chris Moore of Senior Remodeling Experts to unpack why aging in place can be the golden goose for remodelers. Chris breaks down the three segments of the market (traumatic change, progressive change, and no urgent needs) and shows how to weave smart, subtle upgrades into standard projects: three-foot doors, curbless showers, blocking for future grab bars, stacked closets for a future elevator, removable cabinet fronts, and ceiling-lift framing. They talk about messaging that avoids stigma, why most homes are “Peter Pan" housing, and how aging in place is a team sport. You'll also hear Chris's purpose-driven story, the impact of VA grants and Virginia's Livable Homes Tax Credit, and his “Age Out Loud” mission to celebrate later-life living.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Dr. Shirley Piccarreto—doctor of naturopathy and bestselling author of “Healthy, Lean, and Sexy at Any Age”—about practical ways women over 50 can rebuild energy, reduce inflammation, and feel stronger. Dr. Shirley shares routines that helped her recover after surgery: gentle detox practices, nutrient-dense morning smoothies, movement (yoga, walking, hiking), stress regulation through meditation, and mindset tools. We also discuss balancing “go” energy with rest, fitting wellness into a modern schedule, and the first small step to start regenerating today. About the guest : Dr. Shirley Piccarreto is a naturopath and author who supports women 50+ through her Wise Woman of Wellness community. Drawing on three decades of practice and studies across Asia, she focuses on simple daily habits that nourish body and mind. Key takeaways: Regeneration is a choice powered by consistent inputs: nutrients, movement, sleep, stress regulation, and mindset. After medical interventions, start with gentle, short-term detox supports and hydration before rebuilding with whole-food nutrition. Low mood and low energy often track with inflammation and lifestyle load; address both physical inputs and life satisfaction. A simple morning routine—smoothie with whole-food boosters, supplements as needed, and brief meditation—keeps momentum. Movement can be phased back in: walking first, then strength and flexibility work like yoga to support joints and posture. Mindset matters: written affirmations, clear monthly goals, and a life plan help sustain behavior change. Practical “mini-resets” during busy weeks (sunlight, nature, play with pets, fiction breaks) reduce stress reactivity. Start small: choose one step today (e.g., a light, time-bound cleanse and daily walk) and stack wins weekly. Community and guidance improve adherence—structured programs and regular check-ins keep people consistent. Energy is influenced by what you do and how you feel about your life; aligning work, relationships, and health amplifies results.

Can anxiety truly be healed naturally—and fast? In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore what it takes to reclaim peace of mind, energy, and soul alignment in just 45 days. Host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Dr. Shirley Piccarreto, a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author, and Greg Lee, founder of the Lyme Research & Healing Center, who combine their holistic, clinical, and spiritual insights into one healing blueprint. From hidden causes like mold, parasites, and gut issues to game-changing therapies like molecular hydrogen and emotional microcurrents, this episode uncovers what most doctors miss. Discover how daily rituals, breathwork, yoga, and divine healing practices can calm your nervous system, balance your hormones, and quiet the chaos within. If anxiety has left you feeling out of control, this conversation is your starting point to reclaim your power, naturally. About the Guests:Dr. Shirley Piccarreto is a Doctor of Naturopathy, bestselling author of Healthy, Lean, and Sexy at Any Age, and creator of the Wise Woman's Way. She helps women over 50 naturally restore hormonal balance, vitality, and mental peace using ancient practices and herbal remedies. Greg Lee is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of the Lyme Research & Healing Center in Maryland. Formerly a NASA engineer, he now uses advanced diagnostic scanning, molecular hydrogen therapy, and Sufi healing to help people recover from chronic illness and anxiety. Key Takeaways : Anxiety often has physical roots, including hidden infections, gut-brain inflammation, mold toxicity, and hormone imbalances—not just emotional stress. Dr. Shirley shares how supporting adrenal glands and calming the nervous system through herbs, breathwork, and yoga can reverse anxiety naturally. Greg highlights the impact of environmental mold and neurotoxins on panic attacks and insomnia, often missed by conventional medicine. Molecular hydrogen therapy and frequency-specific microcurrents are effective for calming the brain, especially for patients with Lyme or mold exposure. Both experts emphasize the power of daily rituals, grounding, gratitude, and breath to rewire the nervous system and restore control. Anxiety doesn't have to take years to heal.

Parenting Without Guilt: How to Reconnect with Your Kids (at Any Age) with Jennifer Kolari "I want to be more present with my kids, but work always pulls me away." Are you a strong leader at work but feel like you're failing at home? You want to be more present with your kids, but they shut down when you try to talk, and you don't know how to fix it. Are you doing everything you can, but it still doesn't feel like enough? Licensed child and family therapist Jennifer Kolari understands this struggle first-hand. As founder of Connected Parenting, she's discovered that deep emotional connection, not control, is the key to raising resilient children. What she teaches might surprise you: the very moments when things are the most difficult are actually your greatest opportunities to build resilience and trust. Your Child's Brain Is Under Construction Worried you're screwing up your child without realizing it? This thought often stems from a misunderstanding about how children's brains work. Jennifer explains that children don't have fully functioning frontal lobes until around age 25. So you're not just a parent. You're a "substitute frontal lobe." When your child melts down, it's not defiance—it's neurobiology. Connection Is Medicine Jennifer's CALM technique triggers oxytocin release—the "love drug" that speeds learning, strengthens immunity, blocks stress hormones, and builds resilience. The best part? You get these benefits too. It's Never Too Late Whether your child is 5 or 25, it's never too late. Connection can transform any relationship, starting with small moments. Episode Highlights Understanding Your Child: [3:51] - Jennifer's origin story with traumatized children [19:47] - How oxytocin rewires your child's brain [22:57] - Why you're a "substitute frontal lobe" The CALM Technique: [27:50] - You can't regulate your child if you're not regulated [31:11] - Four steps of connecting before correcting [32:25] - Affect matching without escalating Real-World Application: [39:49] - CALM technique examples in action [42:51] - Using self-compassion when you mess up Powerful Quotes "Our children are our greatest teachers. Every emotional trigger, every piece of conditioning, all of the things that we did not resolve in our childhood will show up with our children." —Blake Schofield "Children are not mini-adults. Their brains are under construction. You are a substitute frontal lobe." —Jennifer Kolari Resources Mentioned Connect with Jennifer Kolari: https://www.connectedparenting.com/ The "5 Shifts of Parenting" That Bring You More Connection, Freedom and JOY as a Parent (FREE WEBINAR): https://www.connectedparenting.com/webinar The Connected Parenting Podcast, sharing weekly science-backed techniques on how to parent your sensitive children: https://www.connectedparenting.com/podcast Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!
