Joining me in today's show is friend and fellow registered dietitian, Danielle Omar. Danielle -- an integrative dietitian and nutrition consultant -- is the co-creator of my new Fasting + Food program. We share a mutual love of beautiful eyelashes (she first appeared on the show in The Eyelashes Episode), plant-based eating and of course, fasting for longevity. When Danielle and I first started our careers as registered dietitians, therapeutic fasting for longevity was almost unheard of. Fast forward to today and fasting has become THE thing to do. And while many of the popular fasting programs you hear about may offer some benefits, most of them don’t offer the benefit Danielle and I are most interested in -- the benefit of increased longevity. We’ve personally been studying the relationship between fasting and longevity and found there’s a ton of confusion about what fasting really is, and what results you can expect from doing it.  In this episode, we discuss: The various definitions of the term "fasting" How/Why therapeutic fasting for longevity is different from intermittent fasting (check out The Intermittent Fasting Episode) The importance of longterm fasting to turn on the process of autophagy What autophagy is and why it's so important for longevity The importance of understanding "why" you want to fast How therapeutic fasting is possible with the assistance of food The potential benefits of a longterm, food-assisted fast How hunger and a "hunger reset" play an important role both during and after a food-assisted fast We spend the second half of this episode discussing in greater detail the program we co-created -- first for ourselves, then for others -- to facilitate a long-term therapeutic fast. Fasting + Food is a do-it-yourself therapeutic fasting program that allows you to fast, while also eating a few fresh, whole foods and recipes you make at home. While it may seem counterintuitive to fast and eat food at the same time, with the right calorie level and the right macro-nutrient mix, it IS possible to enter a state of metabolic ketosis that closely resembles that of a prolonged fast. I hope you enjoy this episode! If you have any questions about fasting, the Fasting + Food program OR simply want to connect about any episode of the show, here's where to find me!

You know menopause is coming. But do you know what healthy habits you should adopt now to help best manage the symptoms of menopause? About today’s guest: Liz Ward* is a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of several books, including The Menopause Diet Plan, which is written with her friend and colleague, Hillary Wright. Liz and Hillary have been friends since college, each have 3 children, and are now going through mid-life together. In this episode, Liz answers the following questions: Is it possible to prevent a decline in estrogen with diet and exercise? What does it mean to “manage your hormones” during menopause? How important is getting enough sleep in terms of managing your hunger and overall hormone balance? What are the principles of The Menopause Diet Plan and how do they help women better manage their hormones? Is soy safe to eat for women going through menopause? Why is regular physical activity so important at mid-life and beyond? What kind of change is your brain going through during menopause? In the commercial break of this episode, I’m previewing a little bit about my new Fasting + Food program that I developed with Danielle Omar, MS, RD. Fasting + Food is a 4-day food-assisted fast and metabolic reset. To learn more about it, visit thisunmillenniallife.com/fasting, where you can also download a FREE GUIDE to Fasting for Longevity. I wrap up today’s episode with a recommendation for my favorite new true-crime podcast, Tom Brown’s Body. From the website: “In 2016, a popular teenager disappeared in the tiny Panhandle community of Canadian, Texas. Two years later, his remains were discovered beneath a tree outside of town. But to this day, no arrests have been made, and nearly everyone involved in the case has fallen under suspicion.” Thanks so much for listening, downloading, subscribing and sharing with a friend.

"When your muscles are more flexible they are going to be more efficient in their movement." Whether you're a fitness junkie or just someone who wants to be able to get up and down off the floor as you age, this quote from today's guest sums up one of the main reasons people need to incorporate exercise that enhances flexibility. Joining me in today's episode is Amanda Gyves -- a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, 200 Hr Certified yoga teacher, and one of my local Bodyflow® instructors. In the show, we discuss how Bodyflow is so much more than just a flexibility class and everything you need to need about Bodyflow before you go. We also discuss: How she got started teaching Bodyflow How Bodyflow is different from yoga How the music in Bodyflow is different from the music often played in yoga Why Bodyflow (and yoga as well) are a crucial part of maintaining flexibility both as we age and as a counter-balance to our daily lives and training schedules How difficult is Bodyflow How often someone should take a Bodyflow or similar yoga class In the commercial break of this episode, I'm previewing a little bit about my new Fasting + Food program that I developed with Danielle Omar, MS, RD. Fasting + Food is a 4-day food-assisted fast and metabolic reset. To learn more about it, visit thisunmillenniallife.com/fasting, where you can also download a FREE GUIDE to Fasting for Longevity. To wrap up today's episode, I discuss why I've decided to stop using fabric softener and dryer sheets. And I detail what I'm using instead -- loohoo wool dryer balls.

And just like that, we're back where we started -- SLEEP! When you open up your podcast app today you'll see I'm revisiting the topic that kicked off the podcast -- Sleep. Since sleepless nights plague many of us after 40 it's always worthy for a discussion and especially in light of the fact that so many folks who follow me on Instagram have asked about my gravity blanket. So that's what I'm doing today... discussing my weighted blanket and more ... with Dr. Kara Mohr (yes, you've met her hubs on the show before, Chris Mohr.) Specifically, Kara is sharing more about how the habits we’ve developed during the day may be setting us up for tossing and turning at night. We cover: our mutual love for weighted blankets and Kara's personal recommendation for Gravity Blankets and a sunrise alarm the importance of keeping your "work/office space" outside of your bedroom to avoid sleepless nights how choices to enjoy an extra glass of wine in the evening or to stay up a little later should be intentional with the knowledge that it will disturb sleep Kara's history with getting what she thought was "enough sleep" only to realize it was adversely impacting her overall mood and day-to-day interactions I close out today's episode with additional follow up about a recent recipe I mentioned at the beginning of a recent {wednesday rewind} of The Protein {Powder} Episode and shared on the blog and -- the recipe for How I Created My Own High-Fiber Protein Powder. I share insight into my discussion with dietitian colleague Danielle Omar about "how much fiber" is actually in this recipe and how/why some people might want to use less. I end the show by sharing two voicemails I received recently from fellow dietitian and fan of the show, Lauren Harris-Pincus -- a self-proclaimed F-Factor fan -- about the prebiotic inulin fiber she's subbing into her version of the F-Factor 20/20 protein powder and the results she's having.   This Unmillennial Life is available each week via iTunes, NPROne, Libsyn, iHeartRadio, Spotify and coming soon, Podcasts on Pandora.

Tiredness, sleep issues, weight gain, digestive issues -- are these isolated symptoms or a sign of a bigger problem? According to some experts, it may be related to a non-medical diagnosis known as Adrenal Fatigue. While opinions differ on whether or not adrenal fatigue is "real" or really over-hyped, there's no denying the cluster of symptoms often associated with the condition are of real concern to many women. Today's guest is Cynthia Thurlow -- a nurse practitioner who specializes in the treatment of adrenal fatigue. In this episode she discusses: how adrenal fatigue is not yet recognized as a medical diagnosis why the cluster of symptoms is clinically relevant without a diagnosis what the most common cluster of symptoms are what defines a state of being "overstimulated" additional lifestyle factors that contribute to adrenal fatigue why "working harder and harder" isn't a badge of honor in terms of a woman's health what women are most at risk for adrenal fatigue Because adrenal fatigue is such a hot - and hotly debated topic - I wanted to offer up a few more viewpoints about the condition. First, I share some brief but candid feedback from registered dietitian Elizabeth Ward who expresses significant concern over practitioners treating a condition that isn't recognized by the medical community. Next, I offer some additional insights from registered dietitian Danielle Omar on how she works with clients to address the symptoms associated with adrenal fatigue but prefers to avoid the label. I'm closing out this episode with a recommendation for a new-to-me podcast, Light the Fight. I first learned of the podcast month's ago when a listener recommended it as a resource for a potential show on teen suicide (a show that I continue to work on producing, but haven't yet been able to secure Heidi Swapp -- the show's host -- as a guest on my show.) But it wasn't until I recently queried the This Unmillennial Life Facebook group and the show was once again recommended as a good listen to address the topic of Emotional Resiliency that I decided to start listening. I'm now hooked and hope that listeners of this show - especially those that are parents - will give it a try. Today’s episode and so many of the show topics this season I’m addressing are direct requests from listeners. If you have a topic you’d like to hear more about, let me know! Submit a show idea here, connect by leaving me a voicemail, tag or message me on social media (Instagram, Twitter or Facebook) or email me at regan@thisunmillenniallife.com. If you haven’t checked out the new Fan Shop, please do! It’s the only place where listeners can order merchandise to show off their “unmillennialness” to friends and family. Thank you for listening and for subscribing. If you enjoy the show, please leave a review! And if you’ve been listening to the show for a while or are a new listener and have thoughts about what you like/don’t like, I’d love for you to share them with me through this very brief LISTENER SURVEY.
