We examine the glaring systemic gap where the health of middle-aged women remains undervalued and underfunded in research, and our discussion touches on various facets of women's health, including perimenopausal symptoms, the distinction between chronological and endocrine aging, the scientific misconceptions surrounding weight gain and hormones, the advantages of intermittent fasting, inflammation, and macros. We also get into the supplements Dr. Haver finds beneficial for women in middle age, as well as the impact of non-nutritive sweeteners and the role of continuous glucose monitors.

How a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors can help women prepare for menopause and manage its symptoms How sugar, alcohol, and gluten impact inflammation, insulin levels, and blood sugar How a lack of protein and the wrong types of fats can lead to hunger and satiety issues and lead to muscle breakdown and weight gain in menopausal women Dr. Haver talks about her book, The Galveston Diet How do non-nutritive sweeteners impact the gut microbiome and blood sugar levels?

We were taught a lot about wellness…Low fat. No carbs. Push harder. Start over on Monday.But in midlife?Those rules don't work the same anymore.You're not too old.You're not too late.But you might be following habits that no longer support your body.In this episode, I break down the 7 biggest wellness mistakes women make in midlife—many rooted in outdated advice—and what to do instead.✨ Simple shifts. Real results.

Let me ask you something. When was the last time you felt genuinely sharp? Not just “I had coffee and I'm functional” sharp, but clear-headed, energized, actually-in-the-room sharp?Most of us have quietly accepted a version of ourselves that's a little foggy, a little tired, a little “off” and chalked it up to getting older, being busy, or just how things are now. But here's the thing: that fog has reasons. Real, biological, fixable reasons, and most of them have nothing to do with willpower or discipline.In this post, we're pulling back the curtain on what's actually going on inside your body and brain during perimenopause. We're talking about the surprising link between your gut and your mood, what your sleep problems are really trying to tell you, and why stress is so much sneakier than anyone gives it credit for.Resources We Mention for Daily Habits for PerimenopauseGet Cynthia's books: The Menopause Gut (Amazon/Bookshop.org) and Intermittent Fasting Transformation (Amazon/Bookshop.org).Perimenopause May Be the Wisest and Best Years of Your Life – How to Make That Reality with Jenn PikeWomen Metabolize and Build Strength Differently Than Men (Especially Over 30) with Pearl & Serene, authors of Trim Healthy WisdomThe best blue light glasses for better sleepStress Mastery Challenge for busy momsDon't miss #LifeSkillsNow Season 5!

Valerian | Alien 3 | Alien Resurrection | Middle Age | Trek Sketches

Research suggests that people's commitment to long-term financial planning dips in middle age, just as its importance increases. That's according to the latest edition of PTSB's Reflecting Ireland research series. All to discuss with Leontia Fannin, Chief sustainability and corporate affairs Officer at PTSB.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the delightful Middle Age Goddess, Jane McCann. Jane is a woman who’s turned midlife into a statement. She’s confident, stylish and completely unapologetic. Jane, known as the Middle Age Goddess, has built a loyal Instagram following by rejecting the idea that life slows down after a certain age and proving instead that it only gets better. From fashion, beauty, travel and reinvention, she represents a new kind of woman - one who isn’t interested in playing small, fading quietly or asking for permission. Whether she’s fronting curated experiences abroad or sharing her take on modern femininity, Jane embodies a life that is bold, visible and entirely self-defined. Midlife isn’t the end of the story for Jane, it’s the main event. In this episode we chat to Jane about what life was like before she became the Middle Age Goddess, and what inspired her to share this chapter of her life online and create such a wonderful community. We talk about why people resonate so much with her message, which is really because of Jane’s honesty and authenticity. Jane opens up about what it was like to be brought up by a mother who was suffering from bipolar and the way that affected her confidence and self-belief. Jane also shares about the painful loss of her sister a few years ago, and gives us some beautiful suggestions of the things that have helped her process her grief. We talk about the power of being in nature, going for a walk, calling a girlfriend and leaning into the simple things that make you feel good. We also have fun talking about some of the topics Jane covers on her Instagram - from her middle age rage to her outfits du jour, it’s so entertaining following her story. We absolutely loved chatting with Jane. It was so refreshing to talk about how life keeps getting better as we age and the ways we can keep reinventing ourselves and experiencing new things. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. This episode is proudly supported by Montgomery Investment Management, trusted experts helping you build and protect your financial future.

Authors Curtis Sittenfeld and Erin White join Joe Haddow for a war of the words... Curtis and Erin are best mates - which makes for a very competitive Book Off! Erin talks about her debut novel 'Like Family' which has themes of desire in middle age, queer domestic love and life, navigating the world as a teenager - and much more. Curtis discusses her latest short story collection 'Show Don't Tell' which is a witty and tender collection of tales, featuring a cast of characters that feel like old friends. They also give some writing tips and recommend us some brilliant books too! THE BOOK OFF 'Colored Television' by Danzy SennaVS 'Unless' by Carol Shields Here's a little more on our guests' books! 'Like Family' by Erin White What if everything you wanted is no longer enough?Meeting for an autumnal swim in an idyllic pond, Caroline's friend Ruth tells her about a family secret that has recently been exposed. Caroline was looking forward to a celebration they'd been planning together with her sister-in-law, Tobi, but suddenly everything seems complicated.Tensions that have long been buried are bubbling to the surface. These three couples, who have so much to enjoy in their lives - growing children, affectionate marriages, work they love - must confront the truths they've never shared. More than that, they will have to reconcile the lives they've built with the ones they desire: the old dreams both fulfilled and denied, and the new ones that appeared right when they thought they had all they'd ever hoped for.'Show Don't Tell' by Curtis SittenfeldIn this compulsive collection of twelve witty stories, Sittenfeld shows why she's as beloved for her short fiction as she is for her novels, as she conjures up characters so real that they seem like old friends.In ‘The Patron Saints of Middle Age,' a woman visits two friends she hasn't seen since her divorce. In ‘A for Alone,' a married artist embarks on a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men can't spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in ‘Lost but Not Forgotten,' Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel Prep a new window into the world of her beloved character Lee Fiora, decades later, when Lee attends an awkward school reunion.Witty, confronting and full of tenderness, Sittenfeld peels back layer after layer of our inner lives, keeping us riveted to the page with her utterly distinctive voice.

Together, they dive deep into the unique experience of their generation, exploring how "latchkey kids" are now navigating the challenges of aging and health.Ethan and Lisa bond over their shared history, discussing how the explosion of processed food in the 1980s shaped their early habits and left them to figure out wellness later in life.

They discuss the importance of making fitness fun, using movie montage playlists to stay motivated, and why perfection is not the goal.The conversation touches on the nostalgia of fast food culture, the judgment surrounding diet choices, and why it is crucial to reject the idea that you have missed the boat on getting healthy.For more insights and updates on health, wellness, and Ethan's personal journey, be sure to sign up for his newsletter here: https://ethansuplee.substack.com/subscribeSHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 Intro and Welcome00:39 The Gen X Identity Crisis02:07 The Wealth Transfer Myth03:22 The First Generation of Processed Food05:37 Starting Health Journeys Later in Life07:19 The Power of the Perfect Workout Playlist10:31 Training Montages and Movie Nostalgia13:17 Adapting Workouts to Busy Schedules15:17 The Realities of Aging and Mobility17:51 Fast Food Nostalgia and Marketing Collabs20:25 The Judgment of Food Choices25:18 How Independence Fueled Bad Habits29:51 There Is No Finish Line32:05 Dealing with Loose Skin and Surgery37:06 Swimwear Anxiety and Body Image38:29 Generational Food Pyramids41:18 The Politics of Health and Food44:23 Dealing with Public Disappointment After Weight Loss47:43 Navigating Career Identity Post-Weight Loss49:03 The Gen X Approach to Plastic Surgery Hosted on Acast.

Today, I am privileged to connect with Sal Di Stefano. Sal is a sought-after fitness and health expert with a straightforward, uncomplicated communication style. He is also a co-host of the immensely popular Mind Pump Podcast. In our discussion, we explore why the scale is an ineffective measure of success in our culture, particularly for women. We dive into the effects of body image and dysfunctional relationships with our bodies, contrasting self-hate patterns with self-love patterns. We look at ways to train differently in middle age with the challenges of perimenopause and menopause, and consider the impact of physiological changes during pregnancy and the postpartum period. We also cover signs of overtraining and intuitive nutrition and address many listeners' questions about reverse dieting, hormetic strategies, and authenticity.  I am sure you will love this conversation, and I look forward to having Sal back on the show in 2024. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The limitations of relying solely on weight as a measure of success in health and wellness Why we should focus on the full scope of fitness and diet rather than a specific number or metric How patterns of self-hatred can lead to unhealthy behaviors  How to practice self-care with exercise and a healthy diet Why exercise routines should be founded on factors like sleep, stress, fitness levels, and diet The importance of starting with small, manageable steps toward self-care and weight loss Why strength training is the most effective exercise for women in perimenopause and menopause How high-performing athletes prioritize recovery and rest to prevent burnout and injury Post-pregnancy muscle recruitment patterns and exercises Diet and nutrition for improved mental clarity and physical performance The benefits of strength training for muscle growth and hormone balance Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow)  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with a previous guest, Dr. Mary Claire Haver.  Dr. Haver is a board-certified OBGYN, a certified menopause provider, and the founder of Mary Claire Wellness, a private medical practice focusing on women in midlife. Her best-selling book, the Galveston Diet, and her latest New York Times best-seller, The New Menopause, are fabulous resources for middle-aged women. In our discussion today, we dive into various aspects of perimenopause, looking at the associated challenges. We discuss factors accelerating ovarian aging, the role of contraception, mental health shifts, and the often delayed diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency. We examine the differences between hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives, discussing the importance of advocacy for women's health and the benefits of vaginal estrogen.

When she began to experience the changes of menopause and mid-life weight gain, she created her online program, The Galveston Diet, which currently has over 80,000 students. The Galveston Diet is the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a female OB-GYN, designed for women in menopause. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, specializing in medical nutrition. In 2021, Dr. Haver opened Mary Claire Wellness; the clinic was born out of repeated requests from the Galveston Diet students and Dr. Haver's social media followers for personal guidance.  Dr. Haver lives with her husband and two daughters in Galveston, Texas.

Thought-provoking Quotes: “Let the top rung of the ladder be your sincere convictions. That's the one to keep sturdy, clear, and visible, and hold that one as tight as you can.” – Jen Hatmaker “Anchor your feet into the ground and stand in this storm. Let it rage. Weather it, weather your own discomfort, weather everybody else's discomfort and whatever loss or change comes along with it, because it will end, and there will come a day when it is not that chaotic and what you will be left with is your integrity and that is enough.” – Jen Hatmaker “Women are capable of getting through the hardest things.  Maybe it's a trope because it's true. Maybe the women who are betrayed grieve and recover and rebuild because that's what women do. So maybe it's not such a surprise that we can flourish.” – Amy Hardin “I'm just convinced, this is the time for us to reinvent. Look how awesome we are.” – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement post - https://www.instagram.com/p/DN02niAXMM-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MTQ4YWwzOGcycWJlcA== [ENCORE] When the Truth Goes Viral: The Cost (and Benefit) of Living Honestly with Jonathan Merritt - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/encore-when-the-truth-goes-viral-the-cost-and-benefit-of-living-honestly-with-jonathan-merritt/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3VnMb0k The Interview: Jen Hatmaker's Life Exploded in Middle Age.
