Forget expensive biohacks and longevity gadgets; the real secret to anti-aging starts with getting you from “fine” to extraordinary through the basics that most doctors never discuss. Dr. Vonda Wright challenges the entire medical paradigm by treating patients as whole people rather than collections of body parts, revealing how a 46-year-old woman's frozen shoulder is actually a warning sign of perimenopause, inflammation, and systemic hormone depletion that conventional orthopaedics completely misses.

Eating biblically in midlife is vastly different than the worlds approach to food. What we eat either fuels us or steals from us. If you want to eat in a way that brings you more energy and a sharper mind then you need to settle in, sister.  With us starting the first week in Nov. 2025, it's a good time to take stock of our mindset around foods that are stealing from us instead of fueling us.  We are entering holiday season here in the US and it can be a time where women tell themselves they are gonna enjoy all of the holiday celebrating they want and start caring for themselves again Jan 1st… (come on, you've been there too.) OR they DECIDE to stay the course of what they've already been trying to do in their health journey and they don't allow distractions in. The women who start working with me BEFORE the holidays do amazing THROUGH the holidays. They feel more confidence in their food choices and they feel better in their skin. They have more energy, better sleep, less belly fat.  I pray you leave the episode feeling more confident in being your own best advocate for your health. Decide today to shift your thinking about the foods you are eating so that you can have more energy and a sharper mind... just in time for the busy holiday season!   XO, Michelle Get rid of your stress induced fatigue, brain fog and belly fat in 12 weeks without dieting, deprivation and disappointment!

What do curly hair and your midlife health journey have in common? More than you'd think. In Episode 247 of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth Sherman shares a personal story about ditching the flat iron—and discovering that the path to healthier hair was eerily similar to the path so many midlife women take toward better health. The endless trial-and-error, the frustration, the belief that there must be one perfect product (or plan) out there if you could just find it. This episode is for every woman who's ever said "Just tell me what to do" and still ended up feeling stuck, exhausted, or like her body just doesn't respond the way it used to. Elizabeth dives into the mindset traps, the false promises of quick fixes, and the deeply empowering truth about what actually works. The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding Midlife Health Habits The biggest problem women in midlife face when it comes to their health isn't a lack of discipline—it's the belief that someone else has the secret formula. This belief shows up in the constant search for the "right" diet, exercise plan, supplement, or routine that will finally solve their unexplained symptoms, weight fluctuations, or chronic fatigue. But much like hair care, health isn't a plug-and-play system. What works for one woman in one environment doesn't necessarily work for another. Women often blame themselves when these one-size-fits-all plans fail. They think they're the problem, rather than recognizing that the plan wasn't made for their body, lifestyle, or needs. This mindset leads to a shame spiral, confusion, and resignation—and keeps them stuck in the cycle of trying harder instead of trying differently. Episode 247 reframes this problem and empowers women to reclaim agency over their midlife health by learning how to trust their own bodies. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why your body not responding to health changes might actually be good news The surprising connection between hair routines and sustainable health habits How to stop outsourcing your health to experts, influencers, or algorithms What You Can Do Right Now Start with the lowest-hanging fruit. In the episode, Elizabeth shares how she stopped expecting instant transformation and began identifying the small, sustainable changes that fit her unique body and lifestyle. You can do the same. Rather than looking for someone else's answer, shift your mindset to curiosity and observation. Ask: What makes me feel better? What actually fits into my day? Just like curly hair requires different products, application techniques, and care based on texture and climate, your body requires a custom approach that honors how you live and what you need. The Listener Takeaway: Why This Episode Matters The biggest takeaway from this episode is that you are not broken. If the diet didn't work, if the workouts feel like a punishment, or if your symptoms aren't going away—it's not because you're failing. It's because your body needs a different approach. This episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered. It's an invitation to stop trying to follow someone else's plan—and start building one that actually works for you. The relief? It's not perfection. It's permission to find peace in what's already working.

Navigating Midlife with Grace: Emotions, Renewal & Finding Joy — with Cheryl Fischer About Cheryl Fischer:  Cheryl Fischer is the host of Mind Your Midlife podcast, created to help midlife women feel confident in their body, their decisions, and their goals - and create a midlife they love.  As a certified Life and Mindset Coach, Cheryl works with clients one-on-one and in group masterclass sessions to shift the narrative that tells us that we are stuck or not enough to one that allows us to move forward towards self-belief and success.  She is a speaker and trainer, presenting and moderating at events and providing corporate training classes around the world.  Cheryl is a wife, a mom, and a grandma, and enjoys reading, golf, happy hours, travel, and mahjong.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Midlife brings a mix of challenges and opportunities — from shifting family dynamics to physical changes and emotional growth. In this heartfelt episode, Lynne Wadsworth and Cheryl Fischer dive into the realities of midlife transitions, discussing everything from menopause and caregiving to rediscovering joy and self-connection. Together, they explore how nostalgia, mindset, and emotional awareness can shape how we navigate this powerful life stage. Cheryl shares how to channel nostalgia into positive emotion and use techniques like tapping and deep breathing to calm anxiety and cultivate clarity. Lynne reflects on her recent cruise around the United Kingdom and the deep joy she felt reconnecting with her love of music and the Beatles — a reminder of how simple moments can reignite happiness. They also discuss gratitude, morning affirmations, and the power of noticing "glimmers" — small sparks of joy that bring peace and perspective to daily life.

I finally did it — I quit my job and leaped into the unknown (okay, again, I am a Sagittarius, after all).

In this episode, I share an honest reflection on my perimenopausal journey, the physical shifts, the quiet lessons, and the deep gratitude that comes from finally listening to my body. What began as a dull ache in my hips has become a powerful teacher, reminding me that health is our truest wealth. From attending my first group physiotherapy session to rejoining the gym, this season of my life isn't about pushing through; it's about slowing down, honouring my limits, and moving from a place of care rather than correction. This episode is a gentle invitation to tune in to your own body's wisdom, to listen to its whispers before they become cries for attention, to nourish it, rest it, and thank it for carrying you this far. Because healing doesn't begin with grand change; it begins with one small promise kept to yourself. For reflections and free resources, visit Kiransinghuk.com and explore my Digital Library.

Can I be honest? Midlife has not looked the way I imagined it would. I thought these years would be about traveling with my husband, enjoying our grown kids, and spoiling grandbabies together. Instead, this season has been marked by grief, heartbreak, and rediscovering who I am after walking through an unwanted divorce. But through the pain, I've found something beautiful...a sacred invitation to reconnect with myself, with others, and most importantly, with God. In this episode, I'm sharing part of my own messy middle — the nights of tears, the questions of “Who am I now?”, and how I've learned to rest in my true identity as God's beloved daughter. We'll talk about what it means to take an “identity inventory,” to remember that before we were ever wives, moms, or anything else, we were made in the image of God. And how that truth, even when everything else falls apart, never changes. If you're standing in a season that feels different than you expected, maybe your friendships are shifting, your kids are grown, or your marriage looks nothing like you hoped then this conversation is for you. Together, we'll explore how to make authentic connections again: with yourself, with the people God has placed around you, and with Him. Midlife may feel messy, but it's also full of grace, renewal, and purpose. Let's walk through it together and rediscover the beauty of being God's masterpiece, right in the middle of the mess.

What if true confidence isn't something you build—but something you rediscover within yourself? In this episode, Jessica and Kelly explore the theme of building confidence through self-connection, particularly in midlife. They discuss the importance of introspection, recognizing disconnection from oneself, and the core practices that can help individuals reconnect with their values and desires. The conversation emphasizes that true confidence comes from within and is about being authentic and unapologetically oneself. They also provide practical tips for listeners to cultivate self-connection and confidence in their daily lives. Inside This Conversation: Confidence is built through self-connection and introspection. Midlife is a time for rediscovering who you are. True confidence comes from within, not external validation. Recognizing disconnection from oneself is crucial for growth. Practices like journaling and mindfulness can enhance self-connection. Honoring your values is essential for building confidence. Celebrating small wins helps reinforce self-acceptance. Setting boundaries is a form of self-connection. Doubt is a natural part of the journey to confidence. Being unapologetically you is about being at home with yourself. Connect With Us:

"You don't build courage by avoiding what you're afraid of. You build courage by moving through it." -Diane Gansauer Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, explore an extraordinary midlife reinvention with Diane Gansauer, who traded a high-profile government position for one of the few full-time funeral celebrant roles in the United States. Her transformation proves that stepping away from prestige can lead to real personal fulfillment! "I became more effective and a happier person," Diane reflects on leaving her role as deputy director of a Colorado state agency overseeing multimillion-dollar conservation grants. The political pressures and visibility of managing programs for Great Outdoors Colorado had worn thin. "What I liked best was really the work one-on-one with families," she says. Her journey to funeral celebrancy began serendipitously when a wealthy philanthropist, whose ranch had received conservation grants, learned about her occasional memorial officiating. This connection led to a position with North America's largest funeral services provider, where she ultimately celebrated over 400 lives. The role required mastering the art of storytelling. Working with grieving families, she learned to capture the essence of lives lived. That's a skill that demands deep listening and authentic connection. This was intimate work that stood in stark contrast to her previous bureaucratic responsibilities. But Diane's reinvention didn't stop there. Upon retirement, she embarked on the Continental Divide Trail, completing 3,100 miles from the Mexico border to Canada. "It doesn't matter what other people are doing, it's between you and the mountain." Her experiences culminated in her book "The Waypoints," in which she weaves together insights from honoring 400 lives and conquering thousands of miles of trail. Midlife transitions aren't about climbing higher on conventional ladders. Sometimes they're about finding entirely different mountains to climb, ones that align with who we're becoming rather than who we thought we should be!

We break down:- common mistakes & beliefs that keep many women trapped- why it is different in midlife… you feel it, your body feels it, we know it. and jumping on the next set of diet rules, going harder + doing more only keeps you stuck in a deficit, not losing fat despite watching what you eat, being healthy and doing the work so… if you're a woman in your late 30s, 40s or 50s wondering why nothing is working, this is for you we're breaking down:why 1,200 calorie diets keep failing youwhy your scale is stuck even tho you're trackingwhat metabolism really is (and how to build it) and why it is slowing down for you despite what research saysthe hidden cost of approaching cardio, calories + training the wrong waythe truth about fat loss plateaus, menopause, and training intensityhow to fix the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps sabotaging progressyou'll walk away understanding:what your actual fat loss season should look likewhy training to failure > cardio marathonshow to stop burning out and start building a lifestyle that sticks

Today's episode is about the idea that midlife isn't a crisis but rather a recalibration opportunity in your life. Midlife doesn't have to be about "breaking down." Getting the insight you need about what you actually want next can be about realigning yourself with your priorities now, not from 30 years ago. Things have changed; you have changed. The trick is to actually hear what your future self is trying to tell you or how she's trying to guide you.

You're eating well, staying active, and doing everything that used to work—so why are you feeling tired, stuck, and frustrated with your results? In episode 247, "Why Cardio Backfires in Midlife—and What to Do Instead," I break down why your once-trusted workout strategies may be failing you now—and what to do about it. If you're still relying on cardio as your go-to solution, it's time to reassess. Midlife changes everything, from hormones to muscle mass to recovery time. That means your fitness approach needs a serious upgrade. I explain why too much steady-state cardio raises stress hormones, drains your energy, and accelerates muscle loss. In contrast, strength training becomes essential for metabolism, bone health, and long-term vitality. Even just a few pounds of muscle can increase your resting metabolism and give you more daily energy. Plus, I walk you through my SPARK framework to help you shift toward smarter, more effective habits that support your midlife body—not fight it. You'll discover how a single change, such as replacing a cardio session with a short strength workout, can profoundly impact your overall well-being. This episode equips you with the mindset and practical tools to break free from outdated routines and establish a fitness foundation that boosts your energy, strength, and confidence. Midlife isn't a setback—it's the perfect time for a reset.

The most magnetic women in midlife aren't waiting for romance — they're creating it. In this episode, you'll discover how to romanticize your life (and yourself) in a way that awakens pleasure, presence, and confidence in your everyday world. We'll explore why this practice matters so deeply in midlife, and how it can transform the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and even the simplest routines. If you're ready to feel vibrant, desirable, and fully alive again, this conversation is your invitation.Send a Text Message :)

What if the bravest move in midlife isn't to push harder, but to release the grip? We sit down with Dr. Naeema Olatunji to trace a powerful arc from burnout and a life-altering cycling accident to a life rebuilt on faith, non-attachment, and a simple guiding question: what's possible now?We open with the hidden signals that you're overdue for change—the repeating arguments, the stale roles, the identity welded to job titles—and why surrender isn't quitting but choosing peace over illusion. Dr. Naeema shares the moment she let go, lying on the floor of her practice, patients waiting, pain raging, and a clear call to stop carrying what wasn't hers. From there, we unpack a reinvention mindset that rejects the myth of “starting from scratch.” Instead, we talk about starting from wisdom, honoring the version of you that existed before the world piled on shoulds, and using joy as a daily, deliberate choice.Along the way, we explore non-attachment, the “is-ness” of reality, and how to hold both gratitude and grief without pretending. We get practical about boundaries and projection, how to shift from helicoptering to coaching with adult children, and why your closest circle shapes your energy. Dr. Naeema also opens up about her memoir, Raised As A Lie, a candid story about identity, belonging, and becoming, and she shares a free journal resource to help you release what no longer fits and gain clarity for your next chapter.If you're feeling stuck, exhausted by control, or simply ready to step into a lighter, truer season, this conversation offers sturdy tools and a steady hand. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to tell us: what will you set down so you can rise?BioFrom crisis to triumph, Dr. Naeema Olatunji, doesn't just inspire change—she builds it.

For many of us menopause announces itself in our lives through some kind of betrayal. For today's podcast guest, that betrayal came in the form of a dismantling of identity that provoked one particular emotion on a whole new level - rage. Our guest today is the brilliant trauma-informed embodiment guide, facilitator, and heart activist Tanya Forgan. She explores menopause as a series of portals which show us where we're holding power and where we're not. Her initial ‘betrayal' phase of menopause rocked her to her core, coinciding with the pandemic and the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement and catalysing a dark night of the soul where she faced the harm she has experienced as a dual heritage woman in the UK. She goes on to illuminate the healing power of the repair phase of menopause, describing the rituals and community support that helped her to find the grace in the raging fire of the initiatory process. She shares what supported her to alchemise her anger and understand grief as the most exquisite expression of love in the revelation phase, and all she's discovering in the visioning and emergence portals where she is exploring the kind of grandmother she now wants to become. We explore:- How cycle awareness helped to prepare Tanya for the dismantling of menopause. - What helped Tanya when she lost her trust in her body and in society, including her amazing nervous-system-regulating yoga bath ritual!- What menopause taught Tanya about the power of circles for creating belonging, especially when it comes to race, gender, sexual experience, ability in body, power and oppression. ---Join our menopause online course: Menopause: The Great Awakener---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Engineer and Midlife Business Strategist Sairan Aqrawi shares her inspiring journey from Iraq to a new life in the United States—and the extraordinary story of her mother, Sidika, who was married at 14, became a mother at 15, and went on to raise seven children. From Sidika, we learn the power of patience and trust in divine timing; the wisdom of letting go of small grievances; the importance of choosing grace over noise, and of not seeking validation from others. She reminds us that not everything will unfold as we wish—and that sometimes, peace means letting go. Sairan also reflects on the lessons she's learned as an immigrant, a mother, and a business coach: to own your voice, to take action ("because action is confidence"), to see midlife as a triumph and a new fruitful phase, and to remember that sometimes you need to pause—and recalibrate.

A single late-night choice can redraw an entire map. That's what happens when Gail Bliss, a seasoned performer and international flight attendant, taps the audition button on a whim and lands on The Voice as its oldest U.S. contestant to advance—thanks to Snoop Dogg's unexpected replay. We dive into the messy, magnetic reality behind that moment: decades of craft, the pivot from sax to song, the Patsy Cline era, Nashville's backrooms, and a 60th birthday vow to do six epic things that turned a canceled trip into a once-in-a-lifetime stage.We unpack what age really measures—and what it doesn't. Gail shares how she balanced discipline with delight, put her voice to bed while others partied, and still matched the room's spark. She talks candidly about a missed lyric, a wobbly note, and the mind games bright lights can play, then shows how not chasing the outcome freed her to savor the experience. The unlikely pairing with Snoop becomes a lesson in openness: mentorship and opportunity often arrive from outside your lane, and that's where the best stories live.Along the way, we get practical about longevity. Health becomes a creative ally, not a chore: sleep, strength, mobility, and a support team that might include a physician, holistic practitioner, nutritionist, and coach. Invest on the front end so your body can say yes when the dream calls. If you're staring down 40, 60, or any milestone that feels like a deadline, this conversation offers a clear invitation—make your list, press the button, and let curiosity outrun hesitation.If this story fired you up, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review. Tell us: what bold button are you ready to press next?Bio Chosen from 600 hopefuls to play Patsy Cline in A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, Gail Bliss portrayed the icon for 30 years in 2,800+ shows across North America, endorsed by Patsy's estate and praised by Paul Harvey as “a sensaysh carbon of Cline.” Seen on The Voice (Team Snoop Dogg), Gail has toured with her band, starred on Broadway, and released 7 acclaimed albums spanning country, blues, and gospel. Website - www.GailBliss.comFacebook InstagramSpotifyYouTube HearNow: GailBliss.hearnow.comWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

Dr. Taniqua pulls back the curtain on building Revival Women's Health—a membership-based midlife & menopause practice in metro Atlanta—and gets real about why so many of us end up crowdsourcing medical advice in Facebook groups. Community matters, but it's not a substitute for individualized, evidence-based care. In this candid episode, she celebrates key milestones (lease, legal review) and breaks down how Revival's direct primary care–style model restores time, access, transparency, and partnership during the most dynamic health decade of our lives.What You'll LearnWhy community is powerful—but can't replace clinical nuance in menopause careThe problem with 6-minute visits, portal purgatory, and opaque medical billsHow a membership model (DPC/Direct Specialty Care) gives you time, access, and follow-throughThe Revival care pillars: hormone management, sexual wellness, cardiometabolic/weight health, preventive GYNTransparent labs & on-site draws: using insurance when helpful, cash options when cheaperWhy “concierge” isn't the vibe—access + continuity isKey TakeawaysCommunity is essential; treatment must still be personalized and evidence-based.Midlife is dynamic—your care should be too (more than one rushed visit a year).Direct membership care returns time to the relationship: proactive follow-ups, easy touchpoints, clear costs.You can still use insurance for meds/labs/imaging; the relationship with your clinician isn't dictated by a claim.Transparency is a form of respect.Resources & LinksJoin the Revival Waitlist (Founders Circle pricing): Join HERELearn more about Revival Women's Health: joinrevival.coSay hi / suggest a topic: hello@taniquamd.comFollow Dr Taniqua Miller on Instagram @taniquamillermd and Revival Telemedicine @joinrevival.Georgia listeners!

Letting go is the name of the game in midlife. We're invited to open our hands, releasing what was and receiving what is. Whether it's a role we once held, a relationship that's shifted, a long-held dream, or even our health, midlife invites deep transformation through loss and renewal. In this episode, Krista Gilbert and Alex Kuykendall explore the sacred art of letting go through the lens of Scripture and grounded psychological insight. They discuss the necessity of grieving what's been lost while making space for new beginnings. Ultimately, letting go isn't a passive act - it's an intentional, faith-filled practice that opens the door to freedom, peace, and deeper trust in God's unfolding story. If you find yourself in a surrendering season, this episode is for you! TAKEAWAYS: It's essential to discern when to end something and when to persevere. Letting go is a gradual process, much like building a muscle. Midlife brings significant changes that require us to let go. Grief is a natural response to change and loss. Surrendering to God's will is a key aspect of faith. Self-regulation is essential in navigating life's transitions. Letting go can be painful, as it often involves loss of identity. Ending well is important for personal growth and closure. Recognizing expectations can help in the letting go process. Scripture provides numerous examples of letting go and trusting God. FEW THINGS MENTIONED Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 John 12:24 Episode 469- Who Am I if? QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE Is there an area where you need to surrender? Thinking of Ecclesiastes 3, what season is changing for you right now? Can you form a statement much like in Ecclesiastes 3 that says there is a season for one thing and a season for another in your life, be specific in how your seasons are changing. What is God inviting you into as you discern your next steps? When have you been blessed by letting go? LET'S CONNECT! Did you like this episode?
