Reigniting Desire in Midlife with Dr. Diane Mueller: Stress, Hormones & Real-World Intimacy FixesDesire doesn't vanish in midlife—it evolves. In this episode of Asking for a Friend, certified sexologist Dr. Diane Mueller joins host Michele Folan to unpack what really happens to libido, intimacy, and connection as hormones shift, stress piles up, and long-term relationships get comfortable.We explore the science of midlife desire, from how oxytocin calms cortisol and improves sleep to how vibration therapy and pelvic floor health can ease pain and increase pleasure. You'll learn the difference between “wanting to want” and true arousal, how testosterone fits into the libido puzzle, and why body image and tissue health deserve as much attention as hormones.Dr. Mueller introduces her concept of “erotic repair”—a framework that moves intimacy beyond penetration and toward curiosity, communication, and play. Together, we tackle mismatched desire, dopamine boredom, and the single most important habit separating happy couples from disconnected ones: talking specifically about what feels good.Expect evidence-based tools and real-world scripts you can try tonight—like the Yes/No/Maybe exercise that makes awkward conversations easier. Whether you're navigating menopause, rebuilding intimacy after stress, or simply craving more connection, this episode delivers honest, science-backed guidance with zero fluff. Dr. Dian Mueller's book: https://WantToWantIt.comFree Libido Quiz to get to the root causes of low libido: https://LibidoQuiz.comFree - Yes, No, Maybe Checklist to bring in novelty: https://MySexDoc.comRecommended Lubes and products: https://MyLibidoDoc.com/Products IG: https://instagram.com/myromancedoc_________________________________________

re you tracking your macros—but not seeing the results you want? Or maybe you've thought about tracking but felt completely overwhelmed before you even began? You're not alone, friend.In this episode, we're breaking down why macros matter—protein, carbs, and fats—and how they fuel your body, balance your hormones, and support fat loss in midlife. We'll also talk about the science of consistency and why sporadic tracking keeps you stuck spinning your wheels.Whether you've been logging inconsistently or you're brand new and don't know where to start, this conversation will give you the tools to simplify macro tracking, overcome the overwhelm, and finally start seeing results.And we won't just talk about food—we'll talk about faith.

What's the Real Cost of That Evening Glass of Wine? A Sobriety Journey with Kate VitelaKate Vitela, a registered nurse, shares her powerful journey from physical alcohol dependence to over seven years of sobriety. Her story isn't defined by a dramatic rock-bottom moment but by a gradual awakening to how daily drinking eroded her sleep, career, and relationships. Now, Kate offers a hopeful perspective on recovery through neuroplasticity—the brain's incredible ability to rewire itself and form new neural pathways. “Our brains can reorganize,” she says. “We can completely transform as human beings.” This challenges the outdated notion that addiction is a lifelong disease requiring constant management.In this candid conversation, we dive into what that evening glass of wine means for midlife women. For many, it's more than a drink—it's a rebellious act of self-care, a boundary between meeting others' needs and claiming a moment for themselves. But Kate reveals the hidden costs: even one drink disrupts REM sleep, circadian rhythm, and hormones, far beyond just calories. Host, Michele Folan, shares a personal experiment, contrasting a sleep score of 62 after bourbon with 91-94 on alcohol-free nights.Kate doesn't judge moderation but offers a bold reframe: “Alcohol is ethanol—a poison. Moderation is just microdosing poison.” She argues that midlife is the perfect time to rethink your relationship with alcohol. With greater motivation and a clearer sense of what doesn't work, midlife women are uniquely positioned to embrace change.Whether you're sober-curious, exploring moderation, or questioning alcohol's role in your life, this episode invites you to uncover what drinking is truly costing you—and what freedom could look like. Through her work with women, Kate shows that true empowerment comes from self-care practices that nourish without requiring recovery.Listen now to discover how to reclaim your power, improve your sleep, and embrace a life free from alcohol's grip.You can find Kate Vitela at https://www.instagram.com/rewiredsober/Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rewired-sober/id1781739552 or wherever you listen_________________________________________

The day my DEXA scan results revealed osteoporosis was a wake-up call I dreaded. No symptoms. No warning signs. Just a family history of poor bone health.

In this unfiltered episode, CEO Amanda Tress sits down with Kim Rogers—health expert, content creator, and the internet's beloved “Worm Queen”—to unpack the dirty truth about what might actually be messing with your hormones, energy, skin, sleep, and sanity.   Kim's jaw-dropping story goes from 13 surgeries and chronic illness to building a booming wellness business—and she credits a parasite cleanse with changing everything. They talk about mold, kid symptoms most moms miss, and what to do now if you're constantly bloated, foggy, fatigued, or dealing with skin flare-ups and mystery moods.   You'll learn: How mold and parasites are secretly sabotaging women's health What “mold rage” is (yes, it's real) Signs you (or your kids) may be impacted—like teeth grinding, rashes, nighttime restlessness, and sugar cravings What to do if you live in a moldy climate (hi, Florida fam) How and when to do a safe, gentle parasite cleanse This is the info you'll wish you had years ago. It's personal, practical, and packed with “wait, what?!” moments. If you've ever felt off and haven't been able to explain why—listen up!

Is midlife really a crisis, or is it the launchpad to your most vibrant chapter yet? In this empowering episode, Dr. Ellen Albertson, The Midlife Whisperer, brings her infectious energy and groundbreaking wisdom to debunk myths about aging, body image, and what it means to thrive after 50.At 62, Dr. Albertson radiates confidence that challenges society's obsession with youth. Her secret? Self-compassion. Through transformative research with Dr. Kristin Neff, she discovered that women who practice self-compassion experience less body shame and greater appreciation for themselves—without changing a single thing physically.We dive into why the outdated "eat less, exercise more" approach fails midlife women and explore how working with, rather than against, your changing hormones can lead to sustainable, joyful health. Dr. Albertson shares her "big four" factors: wholesome nutrition, stress management, quality sleep, and joyful movement that strengthens both body and mind.But that's not all! This conversation takes a candid turn as Dr. Albertson talks about beauty, silver hair transitions, and intimacy in midlife. Far from diminishing, these aspects of life can deepen as we shed the societal pressures to perform and embrace our authentic selves. As Dr. Albertson puts it, "We know ourselves and we're done with the BS."If you're ready to transform your relationship with aging, shed the shame, and step into your prime time glow up, this episode is a must-listen._________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

There's nothing quite like the electric buzz of a FASTer Way event. The hugs. The breakthroughs. The “I'm not alone in this” moments. In this episode, Amanda spills why our live gatherings are pure magic for connection, accountability, and transformation — and drops a hint that even more in-person experiences are coming your way. But first… a revelation! Amanda recently discovered she's allergic to Florida. Yes, really. That revelation sent her down an unexpected rabbit hole into the world of mold toxicity. Those nagging symptoms — depression, brain fog, stubborn fatigue, and that strange “wired but exhausted” feeling — might not just be “life”... they could be mold talking. When Amanda spends time at her home in Costa Rica, the difference is instant. “It is like a veil lifted,” she says, and she can see just how much her environment has been impacting her health.  Now, she's on a targeted healing protocol: a low histamine diet, strategic supplements, and regular bloodwork with Dr. Stephen Cabral. (Hot tip: reheating leftovers can trigger a histamine spike — who knew?)  She's even considering tearing down her home and rebuilding it from scratch with specialists to ensure it's truly mold-free. And because stress can be just as sneaky as mold…let's talk cortisol belly. If you've got stubborn midsection fat, energy crashes, or you're up all night and dragging all day, you might be living in cortisol overdrive.  That's where our 5-Day Cortisol Reset comes in. Starting August 18, for just $20, you'll get smart workouts, a delicious meal guide, and a never-before-seen macro + fitness cycle to rebalance your stress hormones. This is our biggest mini-program EVER — and it's exactly what you need to flatten cortisol belly, boost energy, and finally feel calm, clear, and in control. Join the 5-Day Cortisol Reset → Sign Up Here (Starts Aug 18) Oh, and one more thing — be on the lookout for an upcoming deep-dive podcast episode all about mold toxicity and histamine intolerance. It's going to be eye-opening… and maybe even life-changing!

What if your body already had the blueprint to heal itself, build muscle, torch fat, and reverse aging—and you just didn't know how to unlock it? In this eye-opening episode, CEO Amanda Tress sits down with Jay Campbell, hormone optimization authority and peptide pioneer, to blow the lid off everything you thought you knew about healing, performance, and longevity. From a sports injury at 29 that tanked his testosterone to becoming one of the world's leading peptide experts, Jay's journey reads like a biohacking thriller. But here's the kicker—this isn't just his story. It's a roadmap for anyone ready to stop accepting "normal" aging and start tapping into their body's incredible regenerative potential. You'll discover why so many Americans are walking around hormonally broken (and how to know if you're one of them), plus the underground peptides that are quietly revolutionizing healing and fat loss. Jay breaks down his "holy grail" peptide combinations that are helping people build muscle, lose stubborn fat, boost energy, and literally turn back the clock on aging. Whether you're exhausted all the time, carrying stubborn weight that won't budge, or just tired of feeling like a shadow of your former self, this episode is packed with cutting-edge science, real solutions, and the kind of insider knowledge that could completely transform how you think about your health.

Have you ever found yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips and thought, “Wait, am I even hungry?” Or maybe you've tried to “be good” all day, only to eat your feelings the moment stress hits? You're not broken—you're human. But understanding why we reach for food when we're not physically hungry is the first step to breaking the cycle. That's why I've invited a special guest—a health psychologist who specializes in emotional eating. We're going to talk about what's really going on behind the scenes when food becomes comfort, distraction, or reward... and how to gently shift those patterns without shame or restriction.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shouldn't be shrouded in outdated fears and misinformation. When I finally started HRT at 57, I realized I'd spent years unnecessarily suffering through sleepless nights, hot flashes, and night sweats—chalked up to “normal aging”—when effective treatments already existed.My journey began after a hysterectomy, when a nurse practitioner discovered my testosterone level was critically low (11 ng/dl, with a normal range of 13–87). That led to my first experience with vaginal estrogen and topical testosterone. But over time, I learned I needed a more comprehensive approach—including systemic estrogen and progesterone—to truly feel like myself again.This episode also breaks down the recent FDA meeting that addressed two major barriers to women's hormone health:The outdated black box warning on vaginal estrogenThe ongoing lack of FDA-approved testosterone options for womenThese regulatory hurdles continue to block access to treatments that dramatically improve quality of life for midlife women.Whether you're working with your OB-GYN or exploring options through platforms like MyAlloy, MidiHealth, HerMD, or Parlor Games—support exists. But you must advocate for yourself. No woman should suffer in silence or settle for a life that feels like a shadow of her former self.Share this episode with someone who thinks they're “just getting older” and doesn't realize how good they could actually feel.Some Online Women's Health Resources:Allara Health, Midi Health, Alloy Women's Health, Evernow, Winona, HerMD, Femgevity, Maven ClinicThis episode is not intended to be medical advice. I'm sharing my personal journey with hormone replacement therapy in hopes of starting a conversation and helping other women feel less alone. I realize HRT is not the right fit for everyone._________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

I was a runner adding more & more miles to my routine but the scale was going in the wrong direction!

Today I want to give you a behind-the-scenes peek at what a FASTer Way day actually looks like. Because let's be real—when people hear “intermittent fasting” or “strength training” or “macro tracking,” they sometimes picture a life that's rigid, intense, time-consuming… and maybe even miserable. That's not what we do here. The truth is, the FASTer Way lifestyle is super flexible, fits into your life whether you're retired or running a company, and takes up way less time than you think. So today I'm introducing you to three fictional clients—each with different lifestyles—so you can see just how manageable and customizable this really is.
