You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

In this episode, Sarah Gormley discusses the quiet pain of self-loathing and finding the courage to face it. Sarah had it all – a thriving corporate career, success, and admiration. But beneath was a quiet, relentless self-loathing she couldn't shake. In her memoir, The Order of Things, Sarah shares the profound turning point at 40 when she finally asked, is this how it's going to feel forever? She unpacks why therapy isn't linear, how grief can deepen gratitude, and the freedom that comes when we stop performing and start genuinely living.Feeling stuck? It could be one of the six saboteurs of self-control—things like autopilot, self-doubt, or emotional escapism. But here's the good news: you can outsmart them.

If bladder issues in menopause are keeping you from jumping for bone density or for jumping for joy. Or if laughing and sneezing or a need to consider hydration needs against access to a bathroom are real life and every day concerns you… we've got you today.  Bladder issues in menopause don't need to keep you from activities, and they may come with signs and symptoms that aren't the obvious urgency, burning or leakage. The information here about testing beyond traditional options just might make you want to re-listen and share this one.    My Guest: Dr Kelly McCann is a board certified internist and pediatrician specializing in functional, integrative and environmental medicine. She graduated Brown undergrad, Tulane Med School, fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Her medical practice, the Spring Center, is located in Southern California. She hosted virtual summits on MCAS and can be found on many podcasts, summits and @drkellymccann.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:09:09] What is a bacterial biofilm and how does that relate to bladder issues in women? [00:08:21] How do you know if you have a biofilm colonization? [00:13:26] Can you explain the testing technology and how it differs from a urinalysis and urine culture? [00:25:09] Other than UTIs and bladder issues, what might be some other signs that bacterial biofilms might be an issue?  [00:26:55] Are there other things that we should understand about this? (often associated with hypercoagulability which can mean an increased risk for heart disease) [00:30:58] Are there other options before or instead of antibiotics? If you personally got results back suggesting you do have bacteria, would you go the route of herbs or antibiotics?  [00:35:00] Cost of the test? And is it covered?    Bacterial Biofilm as Bladder Issues in Menopause   What is a Bacterial Biofilm? Mucus-like structures where bacteria live, can be found in the mouth, nose, GI tract, vagina, etc. These bacterial “homes” protect microbes from detection in standard lab tests. That means you can have symptoms, but your test results still show “normal.”   What is Next Generation Sequencing? Gives a complete and accurate picture of what's causing  your symptoms, even when your urinalysis and cultures are ‘normal'. Procedure: Scans the DNA of everything present in your sample (e.g. urine). Matches it to a vast DNA library of known organisms. Identifies exactly which microbes are in your bladder, how many, and in what percentages. Recommends treatment options by checking the medical literature for which antibiotics are effective against each bacteria. MicroGenDX does this test.   Signs You Might Have Biofilm Colonization: Chronic bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, burning) without a confirmed UTI Recurrent UTIs that don't resolve or keep returning “Normal” urine tests but ongoing discomfort Other unexplained inflammation-driven symptoms like fatigue, rashes, headaches, joint pain, and more.   Relation to Heart Disease: Bacteria can travel from brushing your teeth and can end up in your coronary arteries and bladder. Biofilms can trigger clot formation for individuals who are genetically predisposed to forming clots or fibrin mesh. Systemic inflammation risk for individuals with low-level bacterial colonization that their body   Connect with Kelly: Website - Dr. Kelly McCann Website - The Spring Center Facebook - Dr. Kelly McCann Instagram - @drkellymccann    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Solving Sleep Issues with CBD and Other Perimenopause Symptom Solutions Next Episode - What Stem Cell Therapy Taught Me About Recovery, Mindset, and Reinventing Downtime More Like This - True Core Confidence: Revolutionizing Pelvic Floor Fitness After 40   Resources: Short & Easy Exercise videos in this 5 Day Flip Challenge.

I was happy to connect with Dr. Louann Brizendine today! She is the founder of the Women's Mood and Hormone Clinic at UCSF. She completed her degree in Neurobiology at the University of California, Berkeley, graduated from Yale School of Medicine, and completed her internship and residency at Harvard Medical School. She also served on the faculty of Harvard University and the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Brizendine founded the Women's Mood and Hormone Clinic at UCSF. Her New York Times bestseller, The Female Brain, and its follow-up, The Male Brain, continue to be read worldwide.  Today, we dive deeply into her new book, The Upgrade: How the Female Brain Gets Stronger and Better in Midlife and Beyond, which was released in April 2022. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The transition and the upgrade stage of life explained Celebrating the transitional time of life and not fearing it How hormones help guide behavior Transition Stages 1,2,3 and what they mean Then onward to the 3 stages of "The Upgrade" Estrogen fluctuations that affect sleep Be aware of caffeine in your food and drinks and how it may affect your sleep. If you are having a problem staying asleep, you may want to cut back on alcohol or drink it earlier in the day. The Women's Health Initiative - (almost 20 years ago) disastrous misinterpretations and negative implications it caused by instilling fear in women to not use Estrogen - including osteoporosis, brain fog, anxiety, and sleep disruptions Hormone Replacement Therapy - now viewed as a positive and much-needed step in women's health Women between the ages of 40-50 should get a bone density scan as one of the determining factors of whether or not to begin hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Brizendine suggests that women should not be fearful of using therapies today to help balance hormones. Cynthia discusses the loss of cognition later in life as another correlative symptom of not receiving needed hormones. Dr. Brizendine advocates doing your own research regarding HRT and not depending only on information from major pharmaceutical companies. Cynthia and Dr. Brizendine discuss the importance of keeping an open mind when it comes to synthetic hormones because of the good they can do. If you are not well and do not feel like you can go on, please, immediately, seek out a doctor who can prescribe medications or hormones to help your particular and unique situation. Be your best and do not suffer in silence any longer. Cynthia says the transitional time of life should and can be a very good time in your life.

I'm breaking down everything you need to know about creatine - the game-changing supplement that's not just for bodybuilders anymore. As women over 40, we're dealing with changing metabolism, declining muscle mass, and energy dips that can make us feel like we're fighting an uphill battle.

It's your cellular battery booster that can sharpen your brain when you're sleep-deprived, help you recover faster from workouts, and even ease jet lag struggles. I'm sharing why I wish I'd started taking it decades ago, the crucial difference between creatine HCL and monohydrate (hint: one causes bloating, the other doesn't), and exactly how to dose it for maximum benefits without the side effects. Plus, I'm revealing my personal protocol for high-stress days, travel, and those nights when sleep just doesn't happen - because let's be real, life after 40 throws us curveballs and we need our energy to keep up.   What you'll learn: Why creatine is crucial for women over 40 and how it functions as your cellular battery booster The significant difference between creatine HCL and monohydrate forms and why absorption rates matter Proper dosing protocols for foundational use, intense workouts, and high-stress situations How creatine benefits brain function, focus, and mood - especially during sleep deprivation What to expect when starting creatine and how to monitor your progress with body composition Why creatine can help with jet lag, time zone adjustments, and travel recovery The connection between creatine and muscle definition, plus why slight weight gain is actually beneficial How to use creatine strategically for better workout performance and faster recovery Love the Podcast?

Many Millennials are either already in their 40's, or they're staring them down. Are they having a midlife crisis?As this generation enters midlife, their lives look really different from their parents' lives: Millennials are more educated and have a higher median net worth, but the generation is also more unequal than previous generations, has higher debt, and lower rates of homeownership and marriage. How does that all shape what Millennial midlife crises are starting to look like? Brittany finds out with Vox senior correspondent Alex Abad-Santos, who recently wrote an article about the Millennial midlife crisis, and Sara Srygley, research associate at the Population Reference Bureau.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Did you know that 50% of your hair disappears before you even notice it's thinning – AND – it might not just be because of hormones? Groundbreaking research reveals the real culprit: "zombie cells" accumulating in your scalp that literally sabotage your hair follicles from within. In this eye-opening conversation, Natalie sits down with Carolina, co-founder of OneSkin, to uncover the cellular science behind why traditional hair loss treatments often fall short—and why a revolutionary patented  OS-01 peptide targets aging cells at the molecular level to rejuvenate both skin and scalp. You'll discover why your scalp ages just like your skin, what creates the perfect storm for hair loss, and the surprising truth about why natural solutions can actually outperform chemical treatments when they target the right mechanisms. Carolina shares the fascinating story behind their breakthrough discovery of the OS-01 peptide, which took years to develop after testing over 900 different compounds. Whether you're already noticing thinning or want to prevent it, this conversation will completely transform how you think about hair health and aging. Plus, Natalie shares her own 3-month experiment results that surprised even her—including why she almost gave up at 8 weeks and what changed her mind.   Interested in trying OS-01 HAIR?

In this episode, I reflect on Meditations 4.5 and Marcus Aurelius' effort to habituate acceptance of death as a natural and necessary part of life. Drawing from Marcus' experiences leading Rome through war and plague, I explore how his preoccupation with death wasn't morbid, but practical—an attempt to remain aligned with Nature and his duty within the Cosmopolis. Death, like birth, is part of the universal order, and Stoicism teaches us that fearing it contradicts the very reason and nature we're trying to live in accordance with. I also answer a listener question about the tension between patience and passivity. When someone wrongs us repeatedly, how do we maintain Stoic endurance without becoming doormats? I break down how context and role-based duties shape what it means to act justly, and I offer practical strategies for staying true to Stoic principles while setting boundaries that honor both ourselves and others. Midlife folks, click here: https://stoicismpod.com/midlife Meditations 4.5 Death is such as generation is, a mystery of nature… not a thing of which any man should be ashamed, for it is not contrary to the nature of a reasonable animal, and not contrary to the reason of our constitution. THREE TAKEAWAYS — Death is neither good nor bad—it's a natural process necessary to life itself. — Stoic practice requires continual habituation, especially around fear and mortality. — Setting boundaries is not un-Stoic when done with reason and care for all parties involved.

In a world that moves at lightning speed, it is easy to forget ourselves. As the géno/side in Pal/estí/ne continues, many have been desensitized and disconnected from their humanity, their empathy. And still others choose to look away and stay silent (likely because they've lost their humanity).In this week's episode, I'm talking about our natural instincts to care for one another, how we can reconnect and remember who we are, and how ritual can help.

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a life mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host, a sought after burnout recovery coach for high-achieving women and help you heal from burnout and survival mode, so you can reclaim your energy, joy, and rediscover your voice. Each week, I bring you inspiring guests, insights, and tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.   Episode Title: How Did Book Club Member, Gina, Go From Burnout to Empowered? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Gina Shutan Episode Summary: In this episode, we sit down with Gina Shutan, a woman whose story is a testament to what's possible when you stop pushing through burnout and start listening to your body, your mind, and your heart. Gina was mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. Like so many of us, she thought exhaustion was something to just “get over.” But everything shifted when she picked up Robyn's book, Exhausted to Energized. Through tiny changes, like simply lacing up her gym shoes, Gina began a powerful transformation grounded in self-compassion, gratitude, and a mindset shift that helped her rewrite her life. Today, Gina isn't just more energized, she's more alive. This conversation is for anyone who's been putting themselves last, battling perfectionism, or wondering how to find their spark again.    You'll learn: Why perfectionism is often a mask for fear. How to build energy with micro-habits (even on your worst days). The role of gratitude in rewiring your mindset. How to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion. What it means to lead your life, not your exhaustion. How small actions (like mentoring or gifting a book) create ripples of empowerment.   Memorable Quotes: “Run my life, not my exhaustion.” – Gina “Food for your soul.” – Gina, on reading Exhausted to Energized “Your attitude is everything. Itt's how you enter a room and connect with the world.” – Robyn    Actionable Steps for Listeners: Commit to One Tiny Win Today Whether it's putting on your gym shoes or drinking a glass of water, start. Energy builds  from movement, not perfection. Reframe Your Inner Voice Notice when you're being hard on yourself. Pause, and ask: “Would I say this to someone I love?” Practice the 90-Day Shift Like Gina, commit to 90 days of small mindset shifts—gratitude journaling, moving your body, and celebrating micro-wins. Mentor or Support Someone Else Gina's healing deepened when she started mentoring others. You grow stronger when you help others rise. Lead with Attitude, Not Exhaustion Every room you walk into is shaped by your energy. What are you bringing with you?   Final Thought: Your exhaustion doesn't make you broken. It makes you human. And like Gina, you have the power to reclaim your energy—not by doing more, but by choosing differently. This isn't about pushing harder. It's about pausing, listening, and finally honoring the truth inside you.    What listeners have to say: “Gina's story made me cry, because it felt like mine. I finally feel like I'm not the only one who's been silently struggling.” — Lauren D., Chief Revenue Officer  “The idea of starting with lacing up your shoes? That hit me hard. I can do that. I did do that today.” — Mindy T., mother of three  “I gifted this book after listening to the episode. My sister is going through a rough time, and I wanted her to feel the same hope I did.” — Emily R., HR executive   These stories remind us: Midlife isn't a crisis, it's an invitation. Burnout isn't weakness, it's wisdom asking for change. And reinvention isn't about starting again, it's about starting true.    Now it's your turn: What moment or quote from Gina's journey resonated most with you? Have you ever felt like your exhaustion was running your life? We'd love to hear your thoughts. DM us, tag us, or share your story, you might inspire someone else to begin again, too.   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

Description: With over two decades of experience in the field, Vanessa Marin is on a mission to help people break down shame, talk openly about sex, and create truly intimate relationships. As a a licensed psychotherapist, sex educator, and bestselling author of Sex Talks: The Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life, which she co-wrote with her husband, Xander, Vanessa brings a candid, humorous, and deeply compassionate voice to a topic that too often stays in the dark Whether your relationship is in a rut, your spark feels a little… dim, or you just want to feel more connected—to your partner and yourself—this one's for you. Vanessa is going to help us say yes to communication, to connection, and maybe most of all, to pleasure. Some topics we dig into: Why we have knee-jerk reactions to sex rooted in shame Why Vanessa says you should start having sex like a man The myth about the female orgasm The best things for your sex life that have nothing to do with taking off your clothes The difference between spontaneous desire versus responsive desire Thought-provoking Quotes: “Despite not getting a great introduction to sex or intimacy or relationships, I had this intuitive sense that there should be joy with this act. There should be connection and intimacy, and it should be something I should feel excited to explore when the time is right.” – Vanessa Marin “This is literally what I am here on this earth for, is to help people get more comfortable talking about sex, connection, and intimacy.” – Vanessa Marin “A lot of people hear, she's a sex therapist. They must have this incredible sex life. the reality is, we've been through ups and downs, too. ” – Vanessa Marin “We get very little, if no, actual sex education. Most of us are left with movies, and TV, and porn as our only sex education. So it's totally understandable that most of us see these scenes and think, that's what I'm looking for. That's the kind of connection I'm supposed to have with my partner. But, the reality is the way that sex looks on TV and in the movies, that's designed for entertainment. It's designed to look good and be pretty. It's not what sex really looks like in real life.” – Vanessa Marin Research has shown that in male-female relationships, women are carrying the vast majority of the mental load. There is so much that is going through our heads on a daily basis—all this tracking, and preparing, and anticipating, and evaluating, our heads are just constantly going. And when you have so much in your brain, it makes it really hard to make the space for intimacy and desire too.” – Vanessa Marin Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Sex Talks: The Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life by Vanessa Marin and Xander Marin - https://amzn.to/43VSwnS The Sex Talks Card Deck and Guidebook: 90 Prompts to Deepen Connection and Spark Intimacy - https://amzn.to/3Hys1xa Vanessa and Xander's Deeper Monthly Membership - https://buy.vmtherapy.com/deeper Guest's Links: Website - https://vmtherapy.com/about Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vanessaandxander/ Twitter - https://x.com/VMTherapy Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vanessaandxander/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/vanessamarin TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@vanessaandxander Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/vanessaandxander/_created/ Podcast - https://vmtherapy.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

This is my real, unfiltered mid-facelift journey — before, during, and after — with the gifted Dr. Fred Aguilar. As a physician myself, I've always believed in transparency, especially when it comes to choices that affect how we feel in our own skin. For me, this wasn't about looking younger — it was about alignment. About having my outer appearance reflect the energy, clarity, and confidence I've reclaimed in midlife. In this video, I take you through the full mid-facelift experience — from the decision-making process, to the operating room, and through recovery. Dr. Aguilar is a true artist. With over 35 years of experience and triple board certifications, he brings not only surgical excellence but also a deep respect for natural beauty and subtlety.

Send us a message!When women hit midlife, it can feel like their bodies start to betray them overnight. Weight creeps on despite doing "all the right things," energy plummets, and those tried-and-true habits suddenly stop making a difference. Society blames willpower, leaving women feeling broken and ashamed.

When you woke up with energy and had good energy still when you got home from work? When you were able to do a house project AND go for a walk after dinner with your hubby? Can you remember? Or are you thinking, gosh, I really can't remember the last time I felt good! If that's you my friend something's gotta give!

Grab your bible and settle in with me for a little heart to heart… just you, me and Jesus. More and more people are getting sicker and sicker. God's children are just as sick as the world. God's daughters are doing maybe more than ever and feeling sicker by the day. Yet pushing though. At some point everyone hits a wall.

You think the problem is food. Or maybe it's your lack of motivation. If only you had more discipline, or found the right plan, then everything would finally fall into place—right? But what if the real reason you're not making progress isn't about food, or workouts, or willpower? In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really getting in the way of your health habits—and it's probably not what you think. From skipping workouts to stress eating yogurt by the tub (yes, I've been there), we're diving into why so many smart, capable women are solving for the wrong problem… and how that keeps us stuck in patterns that don't serve us. If you've ever said, “I know what to do, I just don't do it,” this episode is your invitation to rethink everything you thought was the issue. Because once you see what's really underneath the inconsistency, change becomes possible. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why willpower isn't your problem (and never was) How cultural conditioning sets women up to misdiagnose health struggles A simple mindset shift that makes healthy habits more doable and sustainable

What does it take to walk away from the life you've known in order to live more authentically? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush (licensed therapist and soul support for highly sensitive women) talks with Suzette Mullen, author of The Only Way Through Is Out. After decades of marriage and raising two sons, Suzette came out in midlife—a shift sparked through the process of writing her memoir. Together, they explore what it means to find your voice, take agency over your life, and follow a path that aligns with your truth, even when it feels scary or uncertain. The conversation dives into themes of identity, courage, and the grief that can accompany deep personal change. Suzette shares how stepping into her truth required listening to herself in a way she hadn't before—and trusting that voice. Elizabeth and Suzette talk about the unique challenges women face in midlife, the societal pressures that can hold us back, and the importance of finding support from those who see and honor us. Whether you're navigating a life transition or simply asking deeper questions about who you are, this episode reminds us that it's never too late to live more fully, freely, and authentically.   You can find the full show notes and resources mentioned in the podcast here- https://www.elizabethcushcoaching.com/podcast-awaken-your-wise-woman-all/coming-out-in-midlife
