What do you do when your joints hurt? Do you think this is only temporary because I did too much of something? What can you do when joints hurt, or at least ache? Are you thinking or told about knee replacement? If this is you, this is your episode!   My Guest:  Dr. Joshua Schacter, DO, FAAOS, America's Holistic Orthopedic Surgeon, is redefining joint care with a commitment to providing actual solutions for his patients. Spending a decade as the Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and Director of the Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excellence, he saw the need for non-invasive, innovative solutions that address the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than masking symptoms. When his wife was diagnosed with the “breast cancer gene”, the Schacter's became obsessed with wellness, health and how to accomplish true healing. Dr. Schacter dreamed of a more effective and patient-centered approach, the Pinnacle Method.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:25] How did your personal experience cause you to shift your focus from traditional orthopedic care to a more holistic and integrative approach?  [00:21:18] What is orthobiologics?  [00:20:20] How does The Pinnacle Method address not just the symptoms but the root causes of joint pain? How does the Pinnacle Method help patients achieve long-term wellness? [00:21:30] How do the treatments you offer support the natural healing process? [00:37:00] Can you define PRP? The efficacy and timeline, cost and success rate?  [00:37:35] What do you find to be true today on surgery and non-surgical treatments? What evidence or success stories would you share to illustrate the effectiveness of the Pinnacle Method? [00:39:30] Your approach is optimizing overall health and longevity. How do you incorporate wellness and prevention into your care for patients?   Know What You Can Do When Joints Hurt   What is orthobiologics? Use of the body's own healing capacity. Includes PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cells from fat or bone marrow, cord blood.   What is PRP? Platelet-rich plasma: Draw blood → concentrate platelets → inject into affected joint Cost: $2,000–$6,000 per dose   What is The Pinnacle Method? Combines PRP, functional medicine, and BHRT Addresses the whole patient, not just symptoms   Key Takeaways Orthobiologics like PRP and stem cells are effective alternatives to surgery, especially when used early. Steroid injections can accelerate joint degeneration and should be used cautiously. The Pinnacle Method is a patient-centered approach combining regenerative orthopedics, functional medicine, and hormone therapy. Menopause-related hormonal changes significantly affect joint health, making hormone balance crucial.

Is it possible you've had ADHD your entire life and just didn't know it? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy chats with Kate Moryoussef, host of the award-winning ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, EFT practitioner, and author of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit. After being diagnosed with ADHD at 40, Kate embarked on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and advocacy for women navigating late-in-life diagnoses.   Kate breaks down how hormonal changes in midlife can unmask previously undetected ADHD symptoms, why so many women are being misdiagnosed (or completely overlooked), and how holistic tools like EFT tapping, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and spirituality can make a world of difference. With raw honesty and heartfelt passion, Kate empowers listeners to see ADHD not as a flaw—but as a difference that deserves understanding, support, and even celebration.

You've committed to eating better. Maybe you've even started feeling more like yourself again—more energy, fewer cravings, pants that fit the way you want them to. But then you go to dinner with friends… and suddenly, you're halfway through a basket of fries you didn't even want, wondering how you got there. If you've ever felt like changing how you eat starts messing with your relationships, you are not alone. In fact, the pressure to eat a certain way around others is one of the biggest hidden reasons women struggle to stick with new habits. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, we're exploring what happens when food is more than just fuel—it's friendship, tradition, and connection. And what it means when you start making different choices. Because it's not about discipline. It's about belonging. And if you've ever felt torn between doing what's right for your body and doing what's expected at the table… this episode is going to explain why—and what you can do about it.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why eating out with friends can derail your best intentions—even when you had a plan How shared food habits shape our friendships, and what happens when you want to change them Two key mindset and behavior shifts that make social eating easier to navigate What to do when your health goals don't match your group's habits (without blowing up your relationships)     RESOURCES Free Guide: 82 Reasons You Overeat That Have Nothing to Do with Food Total Health in Midlife Podcast Episode #229: When Food Is Friendship Habit #7 from the 8 Basic Habits Framework: Eat just enough, not too much.

Chris & Amy discuss the 'mid-life' portion of life. It seems to come sooner for some people. Amy has a friend in their late 40s who is celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and are already empty-nesters, while other friends are still raising kids.

Chris and Amy wonder how special the All-Star game is; mid-life comes at you in different ways; a golfer was bitten by a tick, and got very sick; Did you see this? A man has been arrested for stealing sex toys.

In this vulnerable and unfiltered episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about something many women go through, but few talk about openly: midlife weight gain, hormonal changes, and starting a GLP-1. After gaining 55 pounds with no major lifestyle changes and struggling with symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, anxiety, and loss of muscle, my mom found herself at a health crossroads. We walk through the emotional and physical toll this took, her experience going off hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and what finally led her to try tirzepatide (a GLP-1 medication similar to Ozempic). This episode isn't just about weight loss, it's about reclaiming your life, making empowered health choices, and what happens when you start advocating for your own wellness. We also talk anxiety, alcohol, sleep, family dynamics, and yes, why my mom is already seeing mental clarity within days of her first dose. If your mom (or you!) is silently dealing with hormone chaos, frustrating weight gain, or health confusion, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and informed. 00:00 Life updates, small talk & avocado toast inflation 04:00 My mom's health scare & going off HRT 07:00 Symptoms spiral after stopping hormone therapy 10:00 Shocking lab results: cholesterol, blood sugar & hormone crash 12:00 The decision to start tirzepatide (Ozempic-like medication) 15:00 What happened after her first dose (mental clarity, food noise, no cravings) 18:00 My evolving opinion on Ozempic 20:00 Women's hormones are misunderstood—here's what we've learned 24:00 Monitoring with InBody scans, strength training, and muscle preservation 27:00 Our honest feelings on weight, lifestyle changes & identity 33:00 Why I might never drink alcohol again (full breakdown) 44:00 10 facts that made me rethink alcohol for good 48:00 Newsletter updates & book recs from my mom 54:00 What we're reading this summer 56:00 Travel talk & life reflections 59:00 Wrapping up + dinner's ready!

As a Registered Nutritionist with a Medical Science degree (BSc) in Biochemistry & Immunology and having completed the full certification program at the renowned Institute for Functional Medicine, VJ uses evidence-based nutritional therapies to support her clients in transforming their health.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Lynne Wadsworth and VJ Hamilton engaged in a discussion about health issues related to midlife, focusing on skin and hair health during menopause, as well as autoimmune disorders. Lynne shared her personal experiences with alopecia and migraines, linking her health challenges to her environment in Florida, while VJ highlighted the connection between skin health and the immune system, emphasizing the impact of diet and climate. VJ recommended dietary changes, such as incorporating omega-3-rich fish and antioxidant-rich foods to reduce inflammation and stressed the importance of high-quality food sources. VJ also explained gut health's role in autoimmune conditions, and how gut bacteria imbalances can lead to inflammation and digestive issues. She advised including a variety of plant-based foods and fiber in the diet, particularly for those on restrictive diets, and encouraged manageable dietary changes.   We discussed health challenges faced during midlife, particularly focusing on skin issues and autoimmune conditions.  VJ recounted her experiences with autoimmune diseases and how they motivated her to pursue a career in nutrition. She highlighted the significance of anti-inflammatory foods, particularly omega-3-rich fish, in managing symptoms and maintaining overall health during midlife. Health and Nutrition Insights - VJ explained that gut health is central to managing autoimmune conditions and overall health, as it affects nutrient absorption and immune response. She noted that an imbalance in gut bacteria can lead to inflammation and digestive issues. Stress management and dietary choices, such as incorporating short-chain fatty acids and a variety of plant-based foods, are essential for maintaining gut health. VJ also mentioned the significance of fiber for gut health and highlighted the need for conscious dietary choices, especially for those on low starch or low grain diets.  She recommended starting with small lifestyle changes that bring joy and suggested focusing on one nutritional improvement at a time, such as cooking whole food instead of relying on ready meals.   Free Resource From VJ Hamilton: The Autoimmune Recovery Plan: https://vjhamilton.kartra.com/page/TheAutoimmunityRecoveryPlan   Connect With VJ Hamilton: Website: https://theautoimmunitynutritionist.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theautoimmunitynutritionist Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theautoimmunitynutritionist LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-autoimmune-reset/id1646389917   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

Sabemos que o excesso de peso é fator de risco pra quase todas as doenças crônicas e degenerativas. Isso inclui coisas como, diabetes, doença cardiovascular, câncer e alzheimer. No caso do diabetes, a relação é de natureza causal e hoje está bem estabelecido na literatura que o emagrecimento pode produzir remissão do diabetes tipo 2 em cerca de metade das pessoas. Mas será que o emagrecimento reduz o risco de outras doenças crônicas? E será que reduz a mortalidade?Links relacionados:Emagrecer pode reduzir mortalidade - Dr SoutoWeight Loss in Midlife, Chronic Disease Incidence, and All-Cause Mortality During Extended Follow-UpQual o benefício futuro do emagrecimento?

Five years ago, I faced what I call my "great midlife unravelling," a collision of grief, perimenopause, and career crossroads that left me questioning everything. Today, I've built a global podcast, mentor women worldwide, and live a life aligned with my deepest values. The difference? I chose to invest in myself when it felt scariest. In this personal solo episode, I share the behind-the-scenes story of how backing myself through meditation courses, masterminds, and mentoring didn't just change my career, it transformed my relationships, confidence, and sense of what's possible in the second half of life.Key TakeawaysThe "Later" Trap Will Keep You Stuck ForeverWe tell ourselves we'll invest in growth when work calms down, when kids are older, when we have more time. But what if later never feels easier? What if now is all we have? The women thriving in midlife stopped waiting for perfect conditions and started creating change from within.Free Resources Won't Create Deep ChangePodcasts, YouTube videos, and saved Instagram posts are helpful, but they won't make daily choices for you or do the inner work. When we don't pay for something, we don't pay attention. Real investment through time, energy, and money creates real commitment and sustainable transformation.Your Roles Don't Define Your WorthAsk yourself, when it comes to investing time and money in yourself, what do you think you are worth? Not what your job title says or your family roles reflect, but you, your dreams, growth, and potential. The answer reveals everything about what you'll allow into your life.Investment Creates Ripple Effects Beyond YouWhen you invest in yourself, everything expands around you. Relationships deepen, new friendships form, and opportunities appear that you didn't know existed. Your growth permits others to grow. Your courage invites others to be courageous.Small Steps Lead to Extraordinary OutcomesMy journey from lost educator to global podcaster started with a meditation course. Then books, then a mastermind that terrified me. Each investment built on the last, creating momentum that transformed not just my career but my entire identity. You don't need to know the whole staircase, just take the first step.Your Next Chapter Starts NowThe woman you're becoming in midlife isn't the woman you were five years ago, and she's not the woman you'll be five years from now. You're at the halfway mark, not the finish line. Stop waiting for a crisis or a magical sign to begin investing in yourself.

What if the secret to thriving in midlife isn't about chasing more—but about rediscovering what we've forgotten?When Elizabeth Bruckner saw grocery store shelves emptying in 2020, it sparked more than anxiety—it ignited a deep transformation. Living in a typical suburban home surrounded by concrete and a backyard pool, she began a journey into modern homesteading—a lifestyle choice that turned uncertainty into empowerment.Modern homesteading doesn't require a cabin in the woods or going completely off-grid. It's about reclaiming traditional, sustainable skills—like fermenting vegetables, growing herbs in containers, or making your own pantry staples—that nurture resilience, health, and creativity. These practices are especially powerful for those navigating midlife transitions, when questions about purpose, energy, and identity tend to arise.As a licensed acupuncturist, Elizabeth had long witnessed patients seeking quick health fixes while neglecting true self-care. But through homesteading, she found natural, lasting wellness solutions. Fermented foods helped her rebalance hormones, eliminate symptoms like insomnia and unwanted hair growth, and restore gut health. Just as importantly, crafting with her hands—gardening, preserving, creating—boosted her serotonin and dopamine levels, reducing anxiety and elevating mood.She describes the homesteader mindset as grounded in three simple principles:Choose vibrancy and playLearn for pleasure, not perfectionFind joy in the process, not just the outcomeInstead of defaulting to screen time during moments of boredom or stress, Elizabeth began using what she calls “found time” to reconnect with meaningful, creative work. These small acts of intention created big shifts in her mental and physical wellbeing—and deepened her connections with family, friends, and her wider community.Whether you're 30, 50, or 70, it's never too late to start homesteading in your own way. Your version might include fermenting sauerkraut, growing herbs on your balcony, sewing your clothes, or making herbal remedies. The beauty of homesteading is that it's flexible, empowering, and deeply personal.Midlife doesn't have to be about decline or reinvention—it can be a time to reclaim your power, creativity, and vitality. Your hands remember skills your mind may have forgotten. Maybe now is the perfect time to rediscover them.Social Media and Websites WebsiteSpecial Gift for V.I.B.E.

Why your body freaks out when you finally get what you asked for   It's not lazy, it's loaded: Karen opens with the myth of the “lazy days of summer” and how midlife is anything but—especially when you're managing multiple people's needs and navigating your own evolution in real time. The 2025 energy shift is real: She reflects on how spiritual teachers, psychologists, and mindset leaders are all noticing a universal sense of “shedding,” awakening, and identity redefinition. Receiving what you've prayed for can rattle your nervous system: A surprising personal example—her husband suddenly offering her a 6-week solo Airbnb work trip to Scottsdale (a long-held dream)—triggers unexpected anxiety, fear, and suspicion… even though it's everything she wanted. The freeze/fawn sabotage loop: She dives into how even “good” things can send you into a nervous system shutdown if you haven't expanded enough to hold them. You might fawn, freeze, or ghost the opportunity completely. Human Design as a recalibration tool: Karen discusses how knowing your energetic blueprint helps you make soul-aligned choices instead of survival-based ones. Especially crucial in midlife when the emotional scoreboard is crystal clear. Nervous system signs you're glitching: Clenched fists in your sleep Over-functioning to avoid conflict Equating “peace” with “absence of tension” Internalizing disappointment as your fault Feeling tired after big wins Big concept: "Your nervous system is programmed for safety, not greatness." You have to intentionally prepare for the arrival of what you say you want—otherwise your system will short-circuit to keep you ‘safe.' Practical reframe: Use visualization, tapping, prayer, and mindset tools to pre-experience your dream outcomes so your body doesn't freak out when they arrive. quote-worthy insight: “The dream showed up on my doorstep... and I glitched out. That's how I knew I wasn't as expanded as I thought I was.”     ✨ Ready to expand your energetic capacity and actually hold the life you're calling in? That's exactly what we're doing inside The Experience Project — through:

What if the reason you're feeling off isn't what you think? In this short but powerful episode, I'm sharing a quiet truth that's helping so many midlife women feel better—without quitting their job, changing their relationship, or starting over. If you've been pushing through, keeping it together, and wondering why it still doesn't feel right… this might be the reframe you didn't know you needed.

Have you recently left your doctor's office feeling more confused than when you walked in?  Or finally worked up the courage to share the brain fog, crushing fatigue, or unexplainable mood swings—only to get brushed off with: “It's just part of getting older”?  I see you—because I was you—and I know how frustrating and lonely it can feel to navigate midlife changes when so few doctors truly understand what's happening in your body.  In this empowering episode, we dive into how to be heard at the doctor's office during perimenopause and menopause, what to track before your appointment, the right questions to ask, and the signs it might be time to find a new provider.  You deserve answers. You deserve care that sees the whole you. And you deserve to walk out of your appointments with clarity and a plan to feel your best.  Tune in to this episode to reclaim your voice and your power in this beautiful season of life!

I know this can feel daunting, but your health and your quality of life is on the line. You deserve a provider who listens.” “There are so many doctors and providers out there like me who care deeply, who understand what it's like to be going through this transition, what it's like to be a woman navigating the world, particularly the healthcare system, and what it's like to struggle with symptoms, and you just desperately want answers to feel better again.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Grab the FREE Thriving in Perimenopause Guide HERE!  Preorder my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE and get instant access to over $500 worth of bonuses!

What if everything you've been told about fat loss shortcuts is actually keeping you stuck? I'm sharing the unfiltered truth about why motivation, stricter eating, and working out harder actually backfire in midlife - and the foundation you need BEFORE any tactics will work. From my estrogen patch almost falling off on stage to the three-letter framework that changes everything, this episode reveals why most women are building their fat loss on sand instead of solid ground. You'll discover the "health detective" approach that saved my own transformation, why being in "deficit" isn't the answer you think it is, and the inflammatory trio that's sabotaging your results (hint: it's not what you expect). Plus, I'm calling out the false assumed truths that keep us playing small and sharing the decision-vision-action framework that actually creates lasting change. This isn't about finding another shortcut - it's about building the foundation that makes everything else work. And just to be clear, this is the tiny little appetizer version of what I actually teach. For the full buffet of midlife fat loss strategies, check out my full program, Total Body Thrive.

Short term weight loss sounds great BUT it's not all fat – it's muscle! Muscle will be much harder to regain as we age because of anabolic resistance..  Clothes might feel loose and you get weight loss compliments. But short term weight loss is just giving a “false positive” honeymoon period. This might mean you divorced muscle, the love of your life.   1. Muscle Mass Loss (Sarcopenia) Protein Deficiency Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle tissue. Insufficient protein intake exacerbates muscle atrophy and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Excessive Cardio Prolonged cardio can lead to a breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, particularly if glycogen stores are depleted. This can worsen age-related muscle loss and counteract maintaining strength and function. 2. Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Protein Deficiency Protein is needed for bone health and bone density. Inadequate protein intake, especially after menopause, increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis Risks After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases due to declining estrogen levels and can weaken bones prone to fracture. Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis Link Having both increases the risk of falls and fractures. Poor nutrition leads to sarcopenic obesity and increases the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Other Negative Effects Reduced Physical Function Since inadequate protein leads to muscle loss, this reduces strength, impaired balance, and decreased ability to perform daily activities. Slow-Healing Injuries Protein repairs tissues. Deficiency can slow wound healing and recovery from injuries. Weakened Immune Function Amino acids from protein build antibodies and maintain a healthy immune system. Low protein intake can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. Potential Cardiac Issues (Excessive Cardio) Associated with potential adverse cardiac effects, such as myocardial fibrosis and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, in some individuals. Musculoskeletal Injuries (Excessive Cardio) Increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis and stress fractures.   What Can You Do Instead of A Short Term Weight Loss Recommendations: Prioritize protein intake with 30 grams each meal. Balance cardio and strength training to build and maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or engaging in prolonged, strenuous exercise if it causes excessive fatigue or pain.   References:  Chucherd O, Vallibhakara O, Vallibhakara SA, Sophonsritsuk A, Chattrakulchai K, Anantaburarana M.

Story at-a-glance Women who ate more whole fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains in their 40s and 50s had up to 31% better odds of aging without disease or decline Diets high in white bread, sugary snacks and processed carbs were linked to significantly worse mental, physical and metabolic health in older age Eating carbs with little fiber, typical of most processed foods, was tied to a 29% drop in the chance of healthy aging across all categories Consistent intake of high-quality carbs over many years had a stronger effect on aging than temporary diet changes made later in life If your gut is compromised, even healthy carbs cause problems, so start with simple carbs like fruit and white rice, then reintroduce fiber slowly once your gut heals

Specifically, today's interview is with someone who healed her nearly 35-year pattern of binge eating and knew she was meant to spend the rest of her life helping others do the same.

What happens when life throws you into a caregiving role you never expected? For professional organizer Janet Taylor, it meant putting her business on hold, stepping up for her beloved mom, and discovering a new layer of strength, purpose, and reinvention.In this inspiring and heartfelt episode, Janet shares how she navigated the intense, emotional, and often overwhelming journey of midlife caregiving — and how her organizing superpowers became her greatest ally.✨ You'll hear how Janet:

I have been sitting with a lot of emotions, like many of you, I am sure. The state of the world right now is heavy, overwhelming and a bit surreal. Before we dive into today's topic, I wanted to share some thoughts on that, because pretending everything is “normal” just doesn't feel right. Times are tough right now and this tells me that the work I do in the world is important. The work I do, the tools and my coaching, combine to help you not get pulled under by the weight of everything happening in the USA and the world right now.  Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychologist, philosopher and Holocaust survivor. I can't help but think of his words right now, as what we are experiencing feels similar. Viktor taught us that no one can take away the way we think and our attitude about our life. When I think of the unimaginable horror that he lived through, and millions of others, his words give me hope and a reminder to make sure we tend to your mind and heart.  And THIS is the reason I will continue doing my work, even though times feel very heavy. And then, once we have grounded in that reality, I want to take us somewhere deeper, into the heart of self confidence. Not the kind that is all surface level pep talk, but the real kind. The kind that grows quietly from trusting yourself and having your own back, no matter what is happening outside of you. I also want to introduce you to, or remind you, of one of my favorite coaching tools. I am going to walk you through my thought model, a tool to help you see how your thoughts create your life. I know it is much more complicated than that, but, let's start there. I can and will help you learn to manage your mind and heart, Wildflower. This is what I do. I would love to work with you and help you through these times.  Reach out via my website or email me amy@amyloganlife.com

Managing Eating Disorders in Mid-Life.

Feeling exhausted and can't figure out why? The answer might be hiding in your gut and mitochondria. In this eye-opening episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with functional medicine expert Laura Frontiero to uncover the real root causes behind midlife energy crashes. If you're tired of being told "it's just your age" or searching for that one magic solution, this conversation will change everything. Laura shares her journey from 20+ years in traditional healthcare to becoming a detective for chronic health issues, revealing why your energy problems aren't just about hormones—they're about your gut terrain, mitochondrial function, and toxic load that's been building for decades. Discover why that trendy carnivore diet might be helping you now but could backfire later, how infections like Candida and H. pylori are actually trying to protect you from heavy metals, and why you absolutely must support your detox pathways BEFORE trying to kill off bad bacteria. Plus, Dr. Betty and Laura tackle the controversial topic of when to start hormone therapy (spoiler: you don't have to "earn" your hormones!) and why the order of healing matters more than you think. If you're a woman in midlife struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mysterious symptoms that conventional medicine can't explain, this episode gives you the roadmap to reclaim your energy and health. Key Topics Covered: Why your gut terrain matters more than which bacteria you have The hidden connection between toxins and chronic infections Mitochondria: your cellular powerhouses and why they're failing The right order for healing (hint: start with pooping!) When and why to start hormone therapy Why detox is a marathon, not a weekend cleanse Links: Get Laura's FREE Midlife Energy Crisis Report: https://midlifeenergycrisis.com/ Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/   Connect with Laura Frontiero: https://www.instagram.com/laura.frontiero https://laurafrontiero.com/   Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Ever wondered why wine is suddenly pink, skinny, and organic—or why every momfluencer has a glass in hand with hashtags like #WineOClock or #MommysLittleHelper? The answer lies in a carefully orchestrated shift in alcohol marketing that has fundamentally changed women's relationship with drinking.The billion-dollar alcohol industry recognized a golden opportunity when their traditional male market began declining in the early 2000s. Their solution? Target stressed, exhausted women—especially moms—with a completely reimagined marketing approach. What followed was nothing short of an identity assault, where alcohol wasn't just a beverage but positioned as self-care, freedom, and the well-deserved reward for every overwhelmed woman.This episode pulls back the curtain on these strategic tactics and their devastating impact. But this isn't a message of despair—it's an invitation to reclaim your power. I share practical steps to begin questioning your relationship with alcohol, reframing your thoughts around drinking less, and finding the spiritual clarity that may have been muted by that evening glass of wine. Because you were never meant to be a statistic in someone else's marketing campaign—you were created for authentic joy, presence, and peace.Download my free guide "50 Creative Ways to Say No to a Drink" to start your journey to freedom today: https://the-catholic-sobriety-coach.myflodesk.com/50-ways-to-decline-a-drinkJust a few resources to check out:Alcohol & Spirits Influencer Marketing | Open Influence (this details why influencer marketing is a MUST for alcohol and Spirits Brands)https://openinfluence.com/alcohol-spirits-influencer-marketing/Alcohol and breast Cancer | NY Post https://nypost.com/2025/06/06/health/14-out-of-100-women-who-do-this-every-week-will-get-breast-cancer/Binge Drinking in Midlife is Accelerating | NewsWisehttps://www.newswise.com/articles/women-are-drinking-more-during-midlife-and-older-ages-binge-drinking-during-midlife-is-acceleratingNumber of alcohol-related Deaths Among Women Skyrockets in US as "wine culture" is blamed for dramatic Increase | The Sunhttps://www.the-sun.com/health/13007757/alcohol-related-deaths-united-states-health-warning-studyOne Drink a Day Associated with Brain Shrinkage | Alzheimer's Disease Research Center: https://www.adrc.wisc.edu/dementia-matters/alcohol-and-brain-one-drink-day-associated-brain-shrinkageDrop us a Question or CommentI'm here for you.

Does it feel like the world is ending? That all hope is lost? It's time to pause and take a step back. Ask yourself: where are you placing your attention? Is it on the death and destruction? Or are you also seeing the joy and progress of our collective efforts towards liberation? Where we place our attention, energy flows. Can we be intentional without focus? Can we stay informed and bear witness to the atrocities while at the same time, pay attention to the wins both big and small? And how do we do this?

Today's guest has long been a trusted voice in the world of smart shopping and consumer advice, and now she's turning her attention—and resources—to a new mission: empowering midlife entrepreneurs. Trae Bodge is a journalist, television commentator, and consumer expert who's helped millions save at the checkout. However, after the passing of her mother in 2023, Trae felt compelled to do something more profound and personal.In this episode, we discuss her newest venture, the Threadneedle Alley Foundation, a nonprofit she recently launched to provide $5,000 grants and mentorship to midlife entrepreneurs facing financial hardship. The organization is named after the street where her mother ran a beloved small business for decades, and this work is Trae's way of honoring that legacy while addressing a gap she's long observed in her professional life: great small business ideas without the resources or support to thrive.We explore why midlife is often the perfect time to launch a business, the biggest misconceptions around starting over at 40 or 50, and how we can all think more creatively and fearlessly about what's next. Trae also shares some Prime Day shopping tips and how to make sure you're not getting duped by false “deals.”Whether you're dreaming up your second act or just trying to save a little money this week, there's something for you in this conversation.

Dive into the refreshing world of midlife fiction with bestselling UK novelist Jane Costello as she reveals the creative journey behind her latest romantic comedy, "It's Getting Hot in Here." With candor and humor, Jane shares how she's boldly reimagining the rom-com genre with a 47-year-old protagonist navigating perimenopause, teenage children, and unexpected romantic stirrings.After selling over a million copies of her debut novel and publishing 15 books across two decades, Jane offers a fascinating glimpse into her evolution as a writer. Her story begins not with childhood dreams of authorship, but during maternity leave with her first child, when she carved out precious writing time during nap sessions. For anyone who's ever doubted their creative potential, Jane's journey from uncertainty to international success proves that persistence transforms possibility into reality.Whether you're an aspiring writer seeking practical advice or a reader hungry for stories that reflect the richness of midlife experiences, this conversation delivers wisdom and warmth in equal measure. Jane demystifies the writing process with refreshing honesty, sometimes describing it as "like knitting with spaghetti," while celebrating how her latest book flowed with unexpected joy. Her advice to writers—begin with a compelling idea, create a rough plot outline, and treat writing as a marathon rather than a sprint—cuts through creative intimidation with practical clarity. And her message to her younger self? "Relax more and worry less. Things are going to work out okay."

The protein rules in menopause change.  We've talked about protein before. But not like this.  Instead of a complicated, Smart Scale, DEXA scan-based check your numbers hard line obsession, you're going to get down-to-earth, easy to hear support for your protein rules in menopause.    My Guest: Jordan Robertson is an evidence based naturopathic doctor, and the owner of The Confident Clinician, a software built specially to help clinicians make research-backed decisions for their patients with nutrition, supplements and lifestyle medicine.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:03:19] Why do protein needs change as we age? [00:22:48] What simple ways can women use to tell if muscle mass is reducing during menopause, and when should we try to change it? [00:27:42] What happens if women don't make these changes with their muscle mass and appetite? [00:32:51] What are the best sources of protein in the diet? Your thoughts on plant vs animal protein?  [00:37:06] What is your opinion about 5-6 small meals vs 3 meals with bigger bolus?    Protein needs, especially in menopause, go up. As we age, the ability to make muscle gets harder.   Protein Needs Calculation for ideal protein intake: body weight in kg * 1.5 (if you have your weight in lbs, divide by 2.2 to convert to kg) Before: 0.8 - 1 gram of protein per kg body weight per day (based on nitrogen loss) Now: 1.2 - 1.7 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day Depends on who you are and what you need (e.g. your age, gender, lifestyle, athlete, digestive issues, protein resistance, etc.)   Let's Dive Deep Into The Protein Rules in Menopause   Muscle Mass Physical: Check if your body shape has changed, even if your weight stayed the same. Functional: Can you get off the chair without using the arms on the chair? Can you get up off the floor relatively easily? Do you find your walking speed has changed? Body Composition Scan: Many clinics will have a bioelectrical impedance analysis to look at muscle mass and body composition. Best to test the rate of chance over time (after x months, as prescribed by clinic). If you are seeing a reduction in speed, strength and power in any of your daily life activities or in the gym, then we can make an assumption that we are having some loss of muscle tissue.   Plant VS Animal Protein Have a well-balanced diet that includes plant-based protein. The addition of plant-based protein has additional health benefits which can improve our cardiovascular health.   Does Protein Timing Matter Just hit your daily protein with consistency. If 30 grams of protein per meal is difficult, you need to add one more meal. If post-workout protein helps you hit your protein target, continue. Your health journey gets more difficult if your protein timing starts to consume you and your time (e.g. spreadsheet, magnetic to your fridge, etc.).   Connect with Jordan: Instagram - @drjordannd   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?
