Ever wonder why you're still exhausted—even after a full night's sleep? Or why brain fog and hormone imbalance seem to linger no matter how “healthy” your habits feel? If alcohol is still in the picture, even just a little, that could be a missing link. In this episode, I talk with intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland about alcohol's hidden role in disrupting your sleep, spiking cortisol, and draining your energy—especially for women navigating perimenopause, chronic stress, or stubborn fatigue. We're breaking down the science and psychology behind how alcohol affects your metabolism, hormone balance, and nervous system, even if you're not a heavy drinker. Whether you're someone who winds down with wine or drinks socially without thinking twice, this conversation will shift how you see alcohol—and give you tools to reconnect with how you actually want to feel. What You'll Hear Inside This Episode: How alcohol secretly spikes cortisol and leaves your nervous system stuck in stress mode The overlooked way drinking impacts your progesterone levels and sabotages deep sleep Why "just one drink" can still disrupt blood sugar, digestion, and next-day energy The simple mindset shift that helps you reduce drinking—without guilt or restriction Alcohol isn't just a lifestyle choice—it's a hormonal disruptor. From poor sleep to midday crashes, alcohol quietly rewires your body's stress and recovery systems. If you're navigating perimenopause, low energy, or weight loss resistance, this episode unpacks why cutting back might be the most impactful change you can make—and how to do it intuitively. You'll learn why alcohol affects your gut health, sleep cycles, cortisol rhythms, and even contributes to hormonal imbalance like estrogen dominance or adrenal fatigue. It's not about willpower—it's about understanding the biology and building habits that support your best energy. We're not here to ban alcohol. We're here to help you think critically about it. When you shift your intention, you get your energy, sleep, and clarity back—without feeling like you're giving anything up. If you're tired of waking up groggy, feeling inflamed, or wondering why your stress feels worse after a night out, this one's for you.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, and hormone chaos? Wondering why no matter how “healthy” you eat, your energy stays low or your weight won't budge? You're not alone—and it may not be your fault. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aly Cohen, a board-certified rheumatologist and environmental health expert, to talk about something that affects every single one of us but rarely gets discussed: the toxic chemical overload hiding in our everyday lives. We unpack how environmental chemicals are silently disrupting your hormone balance, gut health, and immune system—especially during perimenopause and menopause, when your body is already more sensitive to stress, inflammation, and hormonal shifts. You'll hear how toxins are linked to weight loss resistance, IBS, exhaustion, thyroid dysfunction, and even autoimmune flares. Dr. Cohen shares her signature “4 A's” method to detox your life—without obsessing or aiming for perfection. From common kitchen swaps to what's lurking in your self-care routine (yep, even your garbage bags), we get into the everyday habits that silently sabotage your metabolism and energy—and how to reclaim your vitality, one simple change at a time. Key Points (Listen for the 'how' in the full episode): • The everyday products disrupting your hormone balance and gut health—especially during perimenopause • How immune-disrupting chemicals could be triggering inflammation, fatigue, and autoimmune flares • A subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes—and how to fix it without relying on coffee • The surprising link between toxins and brain fog, and the four simple steps Dr. Cohen recommends to detox smarter (not harder) If you're doing “all the right things” for your health but still dealing with bloating, mood swings, constipation, or low energy, it's time to look deeper. Toxins are the hidden variable no one talks about—but they're quietly impacting your metabolism, hormone balance, and gut health. This episode helps you understand the “why” behind your symptoms and gives you a practical place to start. Ready to clear the confusion and reclaim your health? Tune in and learn how to assess, avoid, and gently detox without the overwhelm. Because true hormone balance, digestion, and energy start with removing what's blocking your body from healing.  How to Connect with Dr. Meg:   Free Guide: 6 Essential Steps for an Effective Detox  MegaVitality Supplement Store: www.megavitalityshop.com.

Ever feel crushing fatigue, stubborn belly weight, or energy crashes no matter how “clean” you eat? Let's sort out the confusion around weight-loss resistance, hormone balance, gut health, and a metabolism that suddenly won't cooperate—especially in perimenopause when brain fog, IBS-style bloating, and low energy can gang-up on you.  Today I walk you through the hidden hormone signals that turn calories into cling-on fat (yes, even if you're fasting, counting macros, or exercising harder) —so you can finally drop the frustration along with the extra pounds. ​ What we cover in this episode The cortisol trap that stores fat around your organs—and the simple nightly shift that starts reversing it. A subtle estrogen-progesterone imbalance that can tank metabolism in perimenopause and why blood tests often miss it. Why “eat less, move more” backfires when thyroid conversion stalls (hint: it's not just about calories). A protein-fiber combo that smooths blood-sugar spikes and steadies energy without crash diets. You'll walk away knowing what hormone patterns sabotage weight-loss, why stress and sleep set the stage for belly fat, and which lab clues flag hidden insulin resistance—so you can tune into the full episode for the “how” and put each fix into action. Expect to reclaim energy, clear brain fog, and see the scale move in the right direction while supporting gut and digestive health along the way.  Struggling with bloating, IBS, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, or hormone imbalance?

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 Stress the Real Reason You Can't Lose Weight or Heal Your Gut?” Are you constantly battling fatigue, weight loss resistance, hormone imbalance, or relentless brain fog—and wondering why nothing is working, even though you're doing all the “right” things? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tricia Pingel to unpack one of the most overlooked but powerful drivers of chronic symptoms: cortisol. We explore how the stress response hijacks your metabolism, messes with your hormones, disrupts your digestion, and can even trigger histamine intolerance and immune system reactivity. If you're in perimenopause, struggling with IBS, feel stuck despite healthy eating and workouts, or just can't figure out why your energy has tanked, this conversation is for you. You'll walk away with fresh insight into how your body is not broken—it's protecting you. And there's a way out. Key Points:  The stress-hormone connection that's wrecking your metabolism and gut health—without you even realizing it. A subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes, and how to fix it without coffee. Why your IBS, histamine issues, or food reactions aren't always about the food—and what to focus on instead. The surprising link between perimenopause and your adrenal response (plus why fasting could be backfiring). What You'll Learn Inside the Episode:  We talk about how adrenal fatigue often sneaks up on the most driven, type-A women—the ones powering through life, checking every box, and still feeling awful. Dr. Pingel explains why your body stores fat in a stressed state (especially around the midsection), how perceived stress—not just actual events—triggers hormonal chaos, and what's really happening in your immune system when you react to the same food one day but not the next. She also walks us through her four-pillar approach to adrenal healing: Functional nutrition that supports cortisol regulation Movement that calms the nervous system rather than overwhelms it Strategic supplementation, including specific vitamins and adaptogens Mind-body rewiring to shift your stress response for good We get into the mindset blocks that keep you stuck in burnout, the dangerous myth of pushing harder to get results, and how joy, boundaries, and nervous system regulation can transform your gut, hormones, and energy levels more than any diet or detox ever will. Fatigue, hormone imbalance, and gut symptoms don't always mean something's “broken”—they often mean your body's under-protected and overstimulated. You can shift your biology by shifting your stress response. This episode offers a roadmap for how to do exactly that, starting with how you think, move, eat, and prioritize yourself.   If you've tried everything and still don't feel better, this might just be the missing piece.

Ever wonder how simply eating steak (yes, just steak) could boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and strip off stubborn weight you've carried for years? That's exactly what Dan Sullivan and I are discussing in this special mini-episode on the Carnivore Diet.We're talking “all meat, all the time,” how we navigate restaurants and travel, the surprising drop in food cravings, and the best ways to monitor your health so you know exactly what's happening in your body. Plus, I'll share why I originally decided to go carnivore after battling colorectal cancer—and how it helped clear my IBS issues for good.If you're curious about a diet that strips away the nonsense and might radically improve your blood markers, this is a must-listen. Remember, we're not doctors—just two guys seeing remarkable results.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSCravings DisappearDan noticed that while his meal choices weren't necessarily the problem, the real weight culprit was all the snacks between meals. Carnivore crushed those cravings almost instantly.Rapid Weight Loss & Inflammation ReductionDan went from 203 to 183 in about six months, and I dropped from 185–190 down to 167 in ten months. Bonus: visible abs, less puffy face, more muscle definition.Energy & Clarity SkyrocketSurprise: no “meal crashes,” no nap cravings. My mental acuity soared. Dan's focus remains sharp and consistent, all day.An “Elimination Diet” for Gut HealthI used carnivore to address ongoing IBS issues post-cancer. By cutting out everything but meat, I zeroed in on triggers, which turned out to be a game-changer for my digestion.A Simple Routine: Steak & WaterMy daily go-to is a New York strip in the morning, possibly another at lunchtime, and sometimes a final cut later in the day—salt, pepper, maybe a little butter. Dan just logs his weight daily and keeps it simple.Travel Hacks & Blood MonitoringIt's surprisingly easy on the road (hello, Brazilian steakhouses!). We both get regular lab work and check with our docs. Surprisingly, many markers (including cholesterol) improve.Question the Old Food PyramidConventional food guidelines? Often the result of corporate interests. Always do your own research, test with labs, and trust how you feel above all else.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] The Carnivore Backstory: Dan's 6-month journey, losing 20+ pounds, and the role Dean Jackson & JJ Virgin played in getting him started.[00:02:57] Cutting Out Cravings: Realizing the biggest weight culprit was snacking between meals, and how pure protein intake solved it.[00:05:10] Mike's 10-Month Experiment:  My IBS, post-cancer rationale for going carnivore and how my steady “steak & water” routine obliterated my gut issues.[00:06:40] Practical Travel Tips: How to manage flights, hotels, and social dinners without falling off the carnivore wagon (butter, grills, and friendly hosts).[00:09:37] Bloodwork & Energy Levels: Dan's regular labs look great, I've seen improved cholesterol and mental stamina.

Struggling with fatigue, brain fog, weight loss resistance, or unpredictable digestion? It might not just be stress—it could be your hormones working against you. If you've ever wondered why perimenopause seems to zap your energy or why your metabolism feels sluggish despite your best efforts, this episode is for you. In today's episode of A Little Bit Healthier, we're kicking off the Hormone Series by breaking down the HPA-TG Axis—your body's command center for hormone balance. This system influences everything from stress regulation to metabolism, thyroid function, and reproductive health. Yet, most of us were never taught how it all works or what we can do to support it. I'll walk you through the missing links between your hormones, gut health, and energy levels—and why chronic stress might be sabotaging your thyroid and metabolism without you realizing it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What the HPA-TG Axis is and why it holds the key to hormone balance, metabolism, and digestion The surprising way stress impacts your thyroid, leading to fatigue, sluggish metabolism, and weight gain How high insulin levels can trigger hormone imbalances, making perimenopause symptoms worse The simple lifestyle shifts that can help regulate cortisol, balance blood sugar, and support digestion for better energy When your hormones are in sync, your body thrives. When they're out of balance, you feel exhausted, struggle to lose weight, deal with bloating, and experience mood swings that seem impossible to control. We'll cover why cortisol is stealing your progesterone, how insulin resistance contributes to weight gain and PCOS, and what you can do to start regaining control over your energy, metabolism, and gut health.

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15 and Blueland. When it comes to weight loss, most people rely on the usual strategies—cutting calories and exercising more. But what happens when these methods don't work? And how do we ensure we're losing fat, not muscle? It's time to rethink our approach. Instead of just focusing on the number on the scale, we should prioritize body recomposition—building a stronger, healthier body that supports longevity and resilience as we age. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on why body composition is more important than your scale weight.  Sal Di Stefano, Mind Pump co-founder and fitness expert, explains why body composition matters more than the number on the scale. He breaks down the most efficient and sustainable ways to exercise and highlights the crucial role muscle plays in overall health. Sal also reveals why lasting motivation for a healthier lifestyle must come from within. By adopting practical, sustainable strategies, we can boost energy, improve well-being, and achieve our fitness goals—all while promoting longevity. JJ Virgin shares her top strategies for weight loss, muscle building, and vibrant aging, emphasizing the power of resistance training for sustained fat loss and the importance of tracking personal goals for long-term motivation. Sal Di Stefano began his fitness journey at just 18, quickly rising to prominence as a trainer and opening some of the largest big-box gyms in the California Bay Area. By 24, he launched a wellness-focused fitness studio that combined expertise in hormones, nutrition, gut health, and fitness training. Today, Sal is a highly sought-after expert known for his practical, easy-to-apply insights. As co-host of the Mind Pump Podcast—the world's top fitness and health podcast—he's appeared on hundreds of leading shows and frequently speaks at events for trainers and health practitioners. JJ Virgin is a renowned health and fitness expert, bestselling author, and prominent media personality. With over three decades of experience in the field, she has become a trusted authority in nutrition, weight loss, and wellness. She is the author of four New York Times bestsellers. Virgin actively contributes to the health and wellness community through speaking engagements, online programs, and her podcast, Well Beyond 40.  In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Why weight loss matters less than body composition (1:08) Reframing our approach to exercise and the body's adaptation to fitness (12:41) Hacks to help with fat loss versus weight loss (22:43) Tracking movement and progress (26:10) Testing body composition and the importance of prevention (29:27) Tracking food intake to optimize protein, fiber, and sleep quality (33:09) Aging powerfully and the new normal (44:01) The misconception about bulking up and the reality of muscle building (47:56) Also mentioned: Full episode with Sal Di Stefano Full episode with JJ Virgin Virginia MacColl Oldest Ninja Warrior episode This episode is brought to you by Fatty15 and Blueland.
