After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Fast Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksAge Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksSubstack Article "I Stopped Fasting for a Year": https://substack.com/@drmindypelz/Carb Manager App carbmanager.com, available on iOS, Android, and webThe Movement Diet: Redefining Fitness at Every Age with Katy BowmanStudy: Prolonged Fasting, HPA Axis & Cortisol - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12736288/Study: Estrogen & Cortisol Regulation - https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/12/4457/4587523Midlife Women Fasting Trial - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65678-zStudy: Self-Selected Fasting Windows - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03375-yBEAM Minerals, use code MINDY for 20% off: https://www.beamminerals.com/?oid=4&affid=648LMNT, get a free sample pack with your order: https://bit.ly/drinklmntpelzTo view full show notes, resources mentioned, transcripts, and more, visit

866. The market is suddenly full of products claiming to prevent or even reverse gray hair — not by dyeing it, but by actually changing what's happening inside the hair follicle. Some of these serums, supplements, and "anti-gray systems" are backed by genuinely interesting science. Others are getting way ahead of the evidence. Today, Monica breaks down the biology of why hair goes gray, what ingredients show the most promise (and for whom), and which products are banking more on your hope than on clinical proof.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we're talking about what comes after the school year ends. We start by discussing why summer breaks matter so much, the importance of play, and why our kids don't need every moment scheduled. Then we talk about graduates and young adults, and how to help them take their next steps, how much guidance parents should give, and how to encourage them as they move toward adulthood. We had a great conversation, and we think you'll be encouraged. Enjoy! We want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler. They are one of the best math curriculums availible, and we believe they help more homeschoolers smile, and you should use their math curriculum for this school year. So go check them out at teachingtextbooks.com.  Today's show was also underwritten by Samaritan Ministries and Redeem HealthShare. Where Members are committed to honoring Christ and serving one another through health care needs. As Todd likes to say, "We use, love, and recommend Samaritan Ministries." You can learn more about REDEEM HealthShare by Samaritan Ministries here https://hubs.ly/Q03VZL7c0   Have a great week and don't forget to smile!

Age bias affects people across the entire career span. For women, this bias is compounded by gender, creating what researchers call “gendered ageism,” a double bind where there is effectively no “right” age to be a professional woman. Drawing on survey data from 913 women leaders across industries including law, healthcare, higher education, and nonprofits, Harvard Business Review research reveals a consistent pattern: women face age-based bias at every stage of their careers. Definitions of “young,” “middle-aged,” and “older” vary by context, but the experiences of discrimination are strikingly similar. Older women often encounter “oldism,” where they are viewed as less relevant or valuable, in contrast to men who are seen as gaining wisdom with age. Participants reported being overlooked for advancement and having their voices dismissed. Younger women face “youngism,” including being patronized, mistaken for junior staff, or not taken seriously in leadership roles. Many experience “credibility deficits,” where their expertise is questioned, forcing them to continually prove themselves. Appearance-based scrutiny is also common, with professional accomplishments overshadowed by comments on looks. Women in midlife—traditionally thought to be in a career “sweet spot”—fare no better. They are often judged based on assumptions about family responsibilities, menopause, or perceived lack of vitality. Hiring and promotion decisions frequently favor similarly aged men, reinforcing the idea that women are either “too young” or “too old,” but rarely seen as just right. Despite these challenges, research shows that age and gender diversity benefit organizations. Diverse teams perform better, especially in complex or crisis situations, while age discrimination reduces job satisfaction and engagement. The path forward does not rely solely on institutional change but also on individual action. Key strategies include examining personal assumptions about age, building intentional intergenerational relationships, advocating for age inclusion in diversity frameworks and actively supporting other women through mentorship, sponsorship, and amplification. Ultimately, the research highlights a systemic issue: age is often used as a convenient justification to undervalue women at any stage. Recognizing and challenging these patterns is essential to creating workplaces where women are seen as credible, capable, and worthy—at every age.

865. The USDA unveiled the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the "Inverted Pyramid" has been sparking a lot of discussion. After a decade of MyPlate, why is the government returning to a pyramid visual—and why is it upside down?In this episode, Monica breaks down the major shifts in the new US guidance, including:The protein pivot: Why protein is taking center stage and what it means for your health.The plant-based omission: Why beans and legumes were left out of the new visuals despite the scientific evidence.The global gap: How the new US pyramid compares to the UK's Eatwell Guide and Canada's food plate.AHA vs. USDA: Why the American Heart Association is issuing its own "course correction" on salt and saturated fat.This episode will help you navigate these changes without losing sight of common-sense nutrition.Nutrition Diva is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast, hosted by Monica Reinegal.New to Nutrition Diva?

864.Does putting spinach in your smoothie cancel out the calcium? Will your morning cup of tea prevent you from absorbing iron? In this episode, Monica looks into the science of mineral absorption and explores the truth behind "anti-nutrients" like oxalates, tannins, and fiber.While certain compounds in food can bind to minerals—like the oxalates in spinach or tannins in tea—the body has built-in buffers to keep you healthy. In this episode, we discuss:The Spinach paradox: Why the calcium in greens isn't always bioavailable.Iron inhibitors: How coffee and tea affect iron levels (and how Vitamin C can help).The fiber myth: Why a high-fiber diet won't lead to mineral deficiencies.Fortified foods vs. supplements: Is calcium-fortified orange juice or soymilk better than a pill?The good news is the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) already accounts for these interactions. Tune in to learn why a varied diet is your best defense and why you probably don't need to micromanage your meals to get the minerals you need.Nutrition Diva is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast, hosted by Monica Reinegal.New to Nutrition Diva?

Season 6, Episode 20 | Pastor Chad and Pastor Chazz discuss Titus 2:1-10, unpacking Paul's instructions on teaching sound doctrine to older men, older women, younger women, younger men, and bondservants so they live self-controlled, reverent, pure lives that adorn the gospel and silence opponents, while sharing stories of new fatherhood, pregnancy cravings (or the surprising lack of them), and intentional marriage from Chazz's young adult Bible study.

In this episode, Monica breaks down the latest research on resveratrol and bone loss prevention. While the 2020 RESHAW study in Australia showed promising results for postmenopausal women, a more recent meta-analysis tells a different story. We separate the supplement hype from the evidence-based nutrition strategies that actually protect your skeleton as you age.Key Takeaways:The RESHAW Breakdown: Why 150 mg of resveratrol led to modest gains in hip and spine density—and why you'd need a lot of wine to replicate it.10-Year Fracture Risk: How to use the FRAX calculator to estimate your likelihood of a major fracture as part of your longevity strategy.The Meta-Analysis Reality Check: Why mashing up 10 human trials suggests resveratrol might not be the "magic pill" for bone density.The "Healthspan" Levers: Why protein timing, Fibermaxxing, and Vitamin K remain the gold standards for sarcopenia prevention and bone strength.Resources:FRAX Calculator: 10-year fracture risk toolEpisode 734: Closing the calcium gap safely.Nutrition Diva is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast, hosted by Monica Reinegal.New to Nutrition Diva?

In this powerful Easter-season episode, Jed talks with Pastor Sheldon Lee Stovall, a licensed counselor and pastor, about his new faith-based Sunday school series, "Faith and Feelings: God's Ways for Every Age." Drawing from years of working with dozens of children each week, Pastor Sheldon shares how he saw so many kids struggling with fear, loneliness, sadness, anger, and hopelessness—without parents or schools having the language or tools to help them. This burden led him to create age-appropriate lessons for K–4, 5–8, and 9–12, all built around Scripture, prayer, and practical emotional skills. He explains how his teacher/parent guides highlight trigger words and emotional red flags—like "Nobody would care if I was gone" or "I wish I wasn't here"—so adults can recognize when a child might be in serious trouble. Pastor Sheldon also describes simple, faith-centered coping tools such as guided "God-breath" exercises for anger, interactive games for younger kids, journaling and role plays for teens, and testimonies from real kids to remind young readers they are not alone. Throughout the conversation, he connects emotional regulation with spiritual formation and talks candidly about the alarming suicide rate among young people, the impact of social media and drugs, and why parents need to slow down, listen, and intentionally build a spiritual foundation at home. In the final portion of the episode, Jed welcomes Korey Henkel, Senior Director of Marketing Communications at Centricity Records and editor of the children's book "Beloved," inspired by Jordan Feliz's song. Corey shares how the book helps kids understand they are deeply loved by their parents—and even more deeply loved by God.

856. According to the internet, your morning brew might be hiding "mold toxins" that cause brain fog, fatigue, and digestive issues. But is mold-free coffee a bona fide health breakthrough, or just a clever marketing play? This week, Monica takes a closer look at the science of mycotoxins in coffee, specifically Ochratoxin A (OTA). We separate food safety facts from "wellness guru" fiction to find out if standard coffee beans are actually undermining your health. What Mycotoxins Are: Understanding the difference between visible mold and chemical compounds like Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A. The Roasting Defense: Why the roasting process is your best protection against toxins and why "green coffee" products carry different risks. Hazard vs. Risk: A crucial distinction in food safety—is the presence of a toxin the same thing as a threat to your health? Practical Prevention: 4 simple steps to minimize exposure—from checking "roasted on" dates to proper home storage—without paying a premium for specialty brands.

There's a silent struggle that many couples face—issues of pain, discomfort, or disconnection in intimate life that go unspoken and unattended. For so long, pelvic floor challenges have been seen as private burdens to bear alone, surrounded by stigma or confusion about where to turn for help. But what if we viewed these not as individual problems, but as shared matters that impact the whole relationship? Could better understanding and open conversation actually transform your intimacy and emotional connection? In this episode, you'll discover how pelvic floor health influences pleasure, pain, and intimacy—and why these challenges are best faced together, not solo. Drawing from expert insights and practical guidance, you'll learn how increased awareness and communication can bridge the gap between partners, foster support and compassion, and empower you with tools for healing. Whether you're struggling silently or simply want to deepen trust and connection, this conversation offers actionable steps and hope for anyone ready to turn hidden struggle into shared strength. Since 2007, Dr. Sara Reardon has been caring for people's pelvic floors as a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist. She is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout platform for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. As The Vagina Whisperer on Instagram and TikTok, she has hundreds of thousands of followers. She is the author of FLOORED: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage.   Episode Highlights 03:53 Understanding pelvic floor anatomy and its impact on intimacy. 07:50 Breaking stigma and introducing pelvic health conversations. 09:37 The role of partners and destigmatizing pelvic floor challenges. 14:47 Exploring pelvic floor dysfunction: Causes and effects on relationships. 18:56 Pelvic floor health and sexual pleasure.. 21:16 Exploring arousal: Physical and emotional components. 23:13 Daily habits and exercises for intimate health. 28:26 Tools, devices, and progression in pelvic floor therapy. 36:35 Debunking myths: Arousal, climax, and individual differences.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Learn about your pelvic floor anatomy to understand how it affects day-to-day functions and intimacy. Openly discuss pelvic health and intimacy challenges with your partner to reduce shame and foster teamwork. Attend pelvic floor therapy sessions together when possible for shared education and support. Practice mindful urination and bowel movements—sit fully, breathe, and avoid straining or "power peeing." Incorporate pelvic-friendly exercises such as yoga poses (e.g., child's pose, pigeon, happy baby) to encourage muscle relaxation. Explore self-stimulation privately to discover which types of touch and stimulation are most pleasurable or comfortable. Consider using vaginal trainers or dilators, starting small and gradually increasing size, and involve your partner for support and collaboration. Normalize communication around sexual pleasure, pain, and individual needs, recognizing that every body and relationship is unique.   Mentioned Floored (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) V-Hive (*Google Play link) (app) Online Workouts (free workout) Come as You Are (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Squatty potty (e-commerce website) Vaginal Dilators (e-commerce website) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide) Connect with Dr. Sara Reardon Websites: thevagwhisperer.com Facebook: facebook.com/thevagwhisperer YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC2MllrS6zD974pxBFbVUHdA Instagram: instagram.com/the.vagina.whisperer LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sara-reardon-pt-dpt-wcs-4a6b1025 TikTok: tiktok.com/@thevagwhisperer  

In today's episode, we talk about why bone density begins to decline and what actually builds strong, resilient bones — at every age and every stage of life, including perimenopause and postmenopause.Now, before you think, “Well, that's not me — I'm in my 20s… my 30s… my 40s,” please give this episode a listen, because the strength of your bones at 60 is determined by what you do at 25.This is Part 1, focused on nutrition and hormones — and it lays the groundwork for what comes next: Part 2, where we'll talk about mechanical stress, weight-bearing exercise, resistance training, balance work — and why movement is non-negotiable for long-term bone health.In this episode, we explore:* When we reach peak bone mass and why that matters* Why bone loss accelerates earlier than many women expect* What perimenopause is (and why it matters for bone remodeling)* How bone remodeling works — and the roles of osteoclasts and osteoblasts* Why estrogen is central to bone density in women* How to know where you stand: DEXA scans, blood work, and risk factors* Why “normal” blood calcium doesn't tell you what you think it tells you* The nutrition foundation for strong bones * What can work against bone health over time (and what to watch for)

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Meghan Rabbitt as my guest. Meghan is an award-winning journalist and the author of The New Rules of Women's Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age. She specializes in women's health and wellness, and her work has appeared in several national publications, including Oprah Daily, Prevention, Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, and others.  Meghan is known for translating and clarifying complex medical and scientific topics into actionable information. In our conversation today, we dive into her new book and explore the process of writing a 700-page guide. We discuss how the old rules of women's health have often failed, and Meghan shares her hope that things will shift. We cover underrecognized midlife issues such as heart disease, the power of knowledge, reframing the aging process, and how the lack of research funding and a paternalistic system contributed to the lack of information on how women's bodies age.  We also examine the influence of social media, navigating the medical system, advocacy, the gut-brain-hormone connection, and the crucial role of fiber, and Meghan emphasizes why every woman's story matters.  Meghan's book is incredibly valuable, as it speaks to women of all ages, from young adults to those in later life. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why personal context matters when following nutrition advice on social media The value of seeking multiple clinician opinions when facing health choices Improving your communication with clinicians to help them understand your priorities and concerns An essential approach to diet and lifestyle  Underrecognized midlife issues, like heart disease, and why they are often overlooked in women's health How midlife changes in estrogen are linked with alterations in the microbiome and astrobolome Understanding the gut-brain-hormone connection can help clarify your symptoms and guide your lifestyle choices. Gut health and why fiber is important Knowledge, advocacy, and reframing aging empower women to navigate the medical system and make better-informed decisions Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Sissy Goff and David Thomas explore the powerful, research-backed role of play in reducing anxiety, building resilience, and strengthening family connection. They unpack why unstructured play has declined, how play shapes kids' brains and emotional health, and why adults need play just as much as kids do. The conversation offers five practical ways to bring play back into everyday family life—without pressure or perfection—and culminates in a joyful interview with Alex and Whitney Kimerling of Hootenanny Games, who share how screen-free games foster connection, confidence, and core memories across generations. . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!
