    Client, Beth, spent 33 years on the diet hamster wheel. Six feet tall since high school, she never fit the mold, so she spent decades running the numbers: calories counted, macros tracked, every bite calculated before it hit her plate.   She swore she wasn't an emotional eater. Turns out, wanting to eat something just because it tastes good IS emotional eating. Nobody told her that.   Today, on her 53rd birthday, she's eating cake without the guilt spiral. No calorie math. No "I'll start over Monday." Just food, freedom, and sleep that isn't wrecked by shame.   Here's what you'll walk away with:   Why "emotional eating" doesn't look like sad-girl ice cream binges, and what it actually looks like for high-achievers The real reason trigger foods lose their power (hint: it's not willpower) How to tell the difference between over-desire and actual hunger Why going "overboard" with a forbidden food can be part of healing, not a relapse The exact self-talk that replaces number-crunching at every meal   If you've built a successful career and a solid life but can't crack this one thing, Beth's story will hit different. This isn't about another diet. It's about learning to trust yourself again.   Doors open for our next Outsmart Overeating group August 31 - September 3rd. Click here to join the Interest List.

She walks you through the exact order of operations: lower inflammation first, stabilize blood sugar second, hit your protein third — so the same plate of food starts working completely differently. If you've been adding supplements, greens powders, and superfood smoothies and your belly fat still won't budge — this is why.

    Could your constant fatigue, brain fog or irritability be more than just the juggle of everyday life? For many women, the first signs of perimenopause arrive years before they expect them to – and are often mistaken for stress, burnout or simply being "too busy". In this episode of Thriving in Menopause, Prevention editor Zoe Meunier is joined by nutritionist, chef and WelleCo educator Zoe Bingley-Pullin, who shares her own experience of being diagnosed with perimenopause at just 39. Together, they unpack why this transition can begin earlier than many women realise, the symptoms to look out for and the simple, evidence-based lifestyle strategies that can help you feel your best. From the importance of blood sugar balance and protein to the role of stress, sleep and movement, this conversation cuts through the online noise to focus on the habits that truly support hormone health – not just for today, but for healthy ageing in the years ahead. Whether you're in your late 30s, already navigating menopause or simply want to future-proof your health, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you take control of your hormones – rather than letting them control you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Playing the Race Card Black Spy Podcast number 258 Season 26, Episode 0006 This week on The Black Spy Podcast, we're diving into one of the most sensitive and controversial topics in modern politics, how the 'race card' is used, whether to highlight injustice or to manipulate opinion and mobilise support. We'll explore how political agendas, media narratives, and even grassroots campaigns can use race as a rallying point. But also how that can divide communities when it's used cynically. We're not here to dismiss racism or discrimination, but to ask whether every appeal to race is made in good faith, or if sometimes it's a strategic move to shape what people believe or how they behave locally, nationally, internationally and global – today and in the past. Join us for a thoughtful, evidence-based discussion that aims to cut through the slogans and examine the reality.

    Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses the growing shift from symptom-only “sick care” to a clinically grounded holistic approach to health and recovery. She argues that self-guided wellness routines can leave gaps when underlying medical issues, mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or trauma remain unaddressed, and emphasizes integrating evidence-based clinical evaluation (including labs and deficiency testing) with lifestyle practices. She explains how treating symptoms in isolation misses connections (e.g., stress, sleep, grief) and defines true holistic care as addressing physical, mental, emotional, relational, environmental, and purpose-related factors without rejecting medical treatment. Key components include consistent movement, individualized nutrition built on basics, nervous system regulation (sleep, nature, breathing, meditation/prayer), meaningful social connection, and a sense of purpose as clinically relevant to resilience.

    I don't know about you, but my social media feed is filled with stuff that is supposed to “give me more energy” to get through perimenopause. What does that even mean? Perimenopause isn't causing fatigue for no reason. Your body is doing things: some are new, and some are a sort of inverse callback to your teenage years. Yeah, that's right – menopause is like a second puberty. Fun! This is work. It's like remodeling your house while you live inside it. There's a lot to change, a lot to update, some things to take offline, and all of it happens while you're in the midst of your daily needs for function, repair, healing, and growth. Those never truly stop, but the demands of the remodel can make them all slow down, or get more difficult.In this episode, Katja shares herbs who will do some of the work for you. By reducing inflammation in the blood vessels and in the digestive tract, and by keeping your lymphatic system flowing smoothly, you can free up a lot of resources inside the body so that your internal workload is lower. In a sense they serve to enhance your inner clean-up crews and help them function more efficiently. (It would be nice if they would also clean your actual house, but alas.)It doesn't take stimulants or adaptogens to do this job. We don't always need to solve feeling tired by going to the buzzy herbs.So if you're feeling tied, but you don't even have time to take a nap, at least these herbs can do some of your work for you!Here are the links Katja talked about in this video:The Reproductive Health course, which includes not just peri/menopause, but also everything else – endometriosis, PCOS/PMOS, managing your cycle, and more.

    Are menopause symptoms making you question your confidence and attractiveness—especially when it comes to dating? What if the secret to reigniting your energy, sensuality, and sense of self is as much about biology as it is about sexy confidence and mindset? In Episode 454 of The Charisma Quotient, "Menopause, Dating & Desire: The Conversation Every Woman Needs to Hear with Dr. Debra Durst" Kimmy sits down with Dr. Debra Durst, a leading regenerative medicine expert, to talk about the often-unspoken intersection of menopause, sexual wellness, and the dating world for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.

    Menopause is one of the largest physiological transitions in a woman's adult life—yet many women are expected to navigate it quietly, without understanding what is happening or receiving meaningful support.In Part 1 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex begins a new four-part solo series exploring perimenopause, menopause, and what it means to faithfully steward a woman's body through a changing season.Drawing from more than 20 years of coaching women through peri- and postmenopause, Alex addresses the painful question underneath many women's frustrations:“What is wrong with me?”The answer is clear:Your body is changing. You are not broken.In this episode, Alex explains the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause; explores why symptoms and severity can vary so widely between women; and names some of the physical, emotional, relational, and metabolic changes that may occur.He also challenges two harmful extremes: dismissing every symptom as “just getting older” and blaming every difficulty after 40 on hormones.Menopause is not a disease—but that does not mean women should quietly endure symptoms that deserve attention, adaptation, or medical care.You'll also hear why a woman's story after 50 does not have to become a story of decline. Strength, muscle, cardiovascular fitness, confidence, wisdom, intimacy, service, and meaningful purpose are still available in this season.This episode also includes an important message for husbands and family members: compassion is not pity, and the women you love should not have to walk through this transition alone or in the dark.IN THIS EPISODEWhat perimenopause and menopause actually meanWhy menopause is a major transition, not a personal failureCommon physical, emotional, and relational challengesWhy symptoms can differ dramatically between womenThe danger of blaming everything on hormonesWhy unusual symptoms and abnormal bleeding deserve medical attentionThe potential freedoms and gains of postmenopausal lifeHow husbands can offer compassion and practical supportWhy adaptation is wisdom—not failureHow women can enter this season with agency and intentionSCRIPTURE FROM THE EPISODE“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”—Proverbs 31:25“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”—Ecclesiastes 3:1COMING NEXTIn Part 2 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex addresses exercise during perimenopause and postmenopause—including muscle, strength, cardiovascular fitness, bone density, high-intensity exercise, walking, and recovery.This is not about desperately holding onto youth.It is about preparing your body for what God may ask you to do with the decades ahead.NEED HELP NAVIGATING THIS SEASON?Email Coach Alex personally at:coachalex@faithfulfitness.coTell him what has changed, what you have been wrestling with, what you have already tried, and where you currently feel stuck.JOIN THE FAITHFUL FITNESS CORPSYou were not meant to steward your body alone.Join an intentional community of men and women working to make the most of every season God gives them:https://faithfulfitness.co/joinYour body is changing.You are not broken.And there is still a whole lot of good work ahead of you.Train hard.

    Trail runner, writer, and BRCA1 gene carrier Sara Aranda grew up watching breast and ovarian cancer devastate the women in her family and ultimately lose her mom while she was in college. This week, she brings us her story–what it was like choosing prophylactic mastectomy and bilateral salpingo‑oophorectomy in her mid‑30s, going from FKT‑strong to surgical menopause overnight, and the collision of relief and grief that follows. Sara shares how she used a massive “lowest to highest” FKT and a prayer run for missing and murdered Indigenous women as both metaphor and preparation, how she's navigating hormone therapy, sleep, body composition, bone worries, and shin splints, and why she wants other medically and/or surgically menopausal athletes to know they are not alone.Sara Aranda is a creative writer, trail runner, and coach who is passionate about craft, community, and challenging perceived notions of language and body, notably what it now means for her to be an athlete in surgical menopause. From adventure storytelling to posting too much on Strava to sweeping run club runs to attempting FKTs, she is both young and menopausal, and still very much full of dreams. Past accomplishments include receiving a Notable Mention in the Best American Essays 2019 anthology, placing 1st Female at the Colossal Vail 50/50 55K, setting 22 FKTs, and receiving the Spirit of No Man's Land Award at No Man's Land Film Festival for her 2025 film, Ofrenda.Join us at Feisty Fest September 18-20, 2026: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-fest/Join the Feisty Strong STRONG Club: https://feisty.co/training/strong-club/ and use code:  HITPLAY15 to save 15%Sign up for our FREE Feisty 40+ newsletter: https://feisty.co/feisty-40/Learn More about our 2026 Feisty Events, including Bike Camps and Cycling Trips: https://feisty.co/events/Follow Us on Instagram:Feisty Menopause: @feistymenopauseHit Play Not Pause Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/807943973376099Support our Partners:Midi Health: You Deserve to Feel Great.

Davis explains FMT history, screening criteria, delivery methods, how it differs from probiotics, and why it is highly effective for recurrent C. difficile (about a 90% durable cure), while noting FDA-approved products (Rebyota, Vowst) and off-label applications. He describes IRB-approved studies on naturopathic care for IBS and ulcerative colitis and a blinded project comparing consistency across 15–20 stool microbiome labs. The conversation covers evidence for diet in IBS/IBD (including SCD and a semi-vegetarian diet), low-FODMAP as a temporary tool, breath testing and relapse in SIBO, helminthic therapy options and legality, targeted probiotics (Saccharomyces boulardii, Akkermansia, soil-based species), enema therapies, indigo naturalis benefits and risks, saffron evidence for mood, telemedicine practice, and a crowdfunding platform for clinical trials.

The day I couldn't move a patient on the operating table — something I'd done alone a thousand times — I knew I needed answers.I was in perimenopause. And medicine had almost nothing to offer me.The research wasn't there. The protocols weren't there. The doctor conversations weren't there.So I went deep into the research myself, rebuilt every protocol from the ground up, and lived it myself.What I discovered changed my life.

Somewhere between the hills, the aching feet, the snack stops and plenty of laughter, I had this feeling that I wanted to ‘bottle up' some of the conversations and the energy we had - to bring it to you.So, instead of an expert interview, I thought I'd invite you to come along for the post-walk chat with us.You'll hear honest conversations, a few giggles, reflections on why community matters so much after cancer...and yes, the story of why I ended up feeling rather guilty about keeping hold of one of the prizes that had been donated for our walkers.

    If you're exhausted from thinking about food all day and wondering why you can't seem to stop obsessing about your weight, this episode is for you. One of my coaching clients, Deborah, who shares how she spent decades caught in the cycle of dieting, emotional eating, and constant food thoughts. Together, we talk about what finally changed. It wasn't another meal plan or more willpower. It was learning how her thoughts created her emotions, and how those emotions were driving her eating. In our conversation, Deborah explains how approaching food journals with curiosity instead of judgment helped her uncover emotional eating patterns. She shares how learning to feel difficult emotions instead of avoiding them gave her something she had wanted for over 40 years. Calm around food. One of my favorite moments is when Deborah says, "No more food drama." That's what happens when you stop fighting your brain and start understanding it. Weight loss becomes simpler because food is no longer controlling your thoughts every day. Enjoy the show!

    Psychedelic Therapy for Mental Health: Research, Safety, and the Path to FDA Approval: Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander, co-authors of “Psychedelic Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Restoring Your Mental Health and Reclaiming Your Life,” reveal the shift from recreational psychedelics to structured, research-based psychedelic-assisted therapy for conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Van Derveer describes limitations of conventional psychiatry (citing STAR*D remission rates) and his entry into MDMA-assisted PTSD research after promising results. They contrast controlled clinical protocols—screening, preparation, safe setting, trained facilitation, medical monitoring, and post-session integration—with uncontained recreational use. The discussion covers current policy momentum under Trump and RFK Jr., VA interest for veterans, and key agents: ketamine (including abuse risks and clinic-only Spravato), MDMA (phase 3 but not approved in 2024), psilocybin (phase 3, potential FDA approval), LSD (GAD trials), ibogaine (arrhythmia risk, Mexico clinics), ayahuasca, peyote, and microdosing. They also note commercialization, including Eli Lilly's acquisition of a 5-MeO-DMT nasal spray developer, and emphasize an integrative “all-of-the-above” mental health approach.
