You're just a workout, even a warm up set, away from strength training benefits in menopause. In this episode you will learn or get a refresher on just how soon you can expect to get those immediate results we all crave. Unlike Amazon you can't get them dropped on your doorstep in a few hours, but you will be pleasantly surprised (or reminded) by the fact that some changes happen in seconds. Within Minutes these are Happening: Increased Heart Rate - which means increased blood flow to brain and because of that a decreased level of pain and increased sense of alertness and creativity and problem solving Release of Anabolic Hormones - testosterone and growth hormone blood sugar reduction - it's used for the fuel for the exercise, even 10-15 air squats works so of course, if you're lifting with a load or tempo that causes more muscle stress Release of Neurotransmitters - this occurs more with intense exercise and may take a few minutes but by the end of your workout, dopamine, and Improved Neuroplasticity - if you're trying to learn a new language or absorb new information you might want to push play while you're working out. How to amplify these while you workout? Want more "feel good" hormones ? Play music you love, workout with a friend (and yes, even an exercise video if you feel like the instructor "gets you" and is more than a drill sergeant could do this) Want to take advantage of learning or inspire a little creativity? If you're already working on a project, absorb a little content about it before the workout and don't necessarily dwell on it while you workout. Your brain may actually answer questions you ask while you're taking a break from it. But also, listen to that Spanish lesson or informative podcasts while you exercise. Within days or weeks these strength training benefits occur Reduce Hot Flashes - in the 24 hours after a moderate or higher intensity workout. The same is not true of low or leisurely activity. A 2012 study in the medical journal Menopause. Continued Neural Connection - studies show a large part of initial gains - up to 8-12 weeks of training - are still due to that stronger neural connection. During this time, heavier may not be better, especially for women in midlife with history of injury or tendency toward injury. Blood Sugar Control Improves - reducing insulin resistance issues that negatively impact visceral belly fat, so you will be on the path to reducing total fat as well as directly impacting visceral fat Strength Increases - due primarily to the neural connection as your brain learns or also strengthens the signaling between brain and muscle while you're learning a new movement pattern or waking up an old one. This isn't yet due to size (or hypertrophy) so the first few weeks you may not see noticeable change but you will already be picking up a heavier weight. Fiber Size Increases - after those first weeks and as that neural connection continues, muscle fiber size increases, and you'll likely see more tone as evidence. Changes in Fiber Type - less noted but the anaerobic exercise improves your type two or fast twitch fibers. So important for aging because these are lost without intentional stimulation. These changes will continue and enable more powerful speed and agility work that further enhances your aging process. Tendons And Ligaments Improve - a big bonus for midlife women who have lost estrogen and are thus more prone to injury. You'll be improving resilience in those for every day activities as well as preparing to do heavier work that will be a greater stimulus for bone and metabolism boosts. Over Months and (lasting) Years....these strength training benefits occur Reversed Aging Effects of 179 Genes Associated with Aging - hello game-changer. If you start October 1 by April 1 (no kidding) you'll be younger. Increased Bone Density - with the right progressive protocol (we don't jump in at the end and we can't stay at the beginning if you're able to do more) significant changes take 9 months to a year for the bone remodeling process. But if you're having an annual DEXA (and I highly recommend you do), you'll have noticeable change with strength training as you also fix any gut issues. Reduced Risk of Both Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis in Late Life - muscle and bone loss historically have been issues related to metabolic disease and structural issues related to falls, fractures, bedrest, weakness and injury directly related to falls or consequent falls. Resistance training is proven to decrease this risk. But ? Pilates and yoga may be on the continuum... they are on the left... not the right. Psst. Sarcopenia and osteoporosis BOTH begin in your 30s. Muscle peaks at 25, bone at about 30. Losses of each begin around 30 and 35, respectively. Think about what you were doing. Were you consuming adequate protein? Doing high impact and high intensity resistance training? Were you prioritizing sleep? Or were you on weight loss diets one after the other, skipping meals or skimping on calories, or making poor choices? You may have been doing the best you knew then, or may have been ignoring best in search of short cuts to skinnier obsessions so many women have. You can support a young woman from making the same mistake. Her bones could be better thanks to you.

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to begin lifting heavy weights during midlife, perimenopause, or menopause? Let's talk about how lifting can be very beneficial to your bones, connective tissues, and everyday life. For beginners, you have to start slowly and surely, lifting until we feel that sweet spot. And for those lifting for some time now, let's discuss the safe progression of lifting weights. Notable notes in lifting during midlife: Don't rush going heavy. Let your connective tissues adapt. Understand your muscle fatigue and know when to stop. Listen to your body when to increase weights, increase reps and/or increase power. Do no harm to yourself. Do not underestimate recovery. For older women or those with injuries, keep in mind the 72 hours of rest in between workouts. Explore light activities during the recovery period like yoga. Consider cortisol tests to check on your body. Strength training beginning phase and progression is different per body. Join me in this episode for the in-depth details on how you lift heavy, create a routine and how to progress your workout during midlife, perimenopause and menopause.

Are you ready for an adventure? Midlife is a time when we can get itchy feet and want to explore new horizons, but sometimes niggling doubts and a lack of confidence can get in the way of that. So in this episode, I'm chatting to adventurer Alice Morrison, who's just the woman we need to give us the encouragement to take that first big step. Alice is an adventurer, TV presenter and author, who's currently living in a little village in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I met her at The Travel Show earlier this year, where she was talking about her latest book Walking With Nomads and I knew straight away that I wanted to chat to her in more detail. After a successful career in journalism, Alice decided it was time for a change and she embarked on a series of adventures in midlife which have transformed her life – she's cycled across Africa; run across deserts, and trekked across Morocco, for starters. Alice knows exactly what it's like to travel solo as a woman, so she's just the person to help us get started on our own midlife adventures!My conversation with Alice has definitely reawakened my travel bug, and I love how encouraging and matter of fact she is about it. She's quite right – we just need to do it, and I hope you will!If you're a fan of The Happy Menopause, please tell your friends and family about it, and do give it a 5-star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on.

Is the midlife crisis a real thing? I've been curious about this for a while. I mean, there are times I'm actually pretty thrilled to be in my 40s. There are times I get a little freaked out about it. Stephanie McLaughlin is on the podcast this week to talk about that thing that happens to us around "midlife."When she turned 40, Stephanie decided to have 40 drinks with 40 friends from her past. The project changed her life. In our episode, Stephanie shares how this started the '40 Drinks Project,' a movement that challenges the stigma around the midlife crisis narrative. Stephanie shares the unexpected wisdom she uncovered via the laughter and reminiscence she shared with long-lost friends.One of the things Stephanie uncovered in this project is how her childhood memories were the secret ingredients to understanding her present self. She is now on a mission to wash away the "ick" around the idea of midlife, and to show people how it's actually a chance to turn back toward the things that brought you joy as a child.Meet Stephanie McLaughlin:Bringing a background in journalism to marketing, Stephanie McLaughlin merges creativity with clarity for clients of her marketing agency, Savoir Faire Marketing/Communications.

Let's be honest, we probably can't even count the number of times we glance at our reflection in a day…but regardless of what you see staring back at you…The TIME spent looking the wrong direction can lead to a HEART looking in the wrong direction too. Cuz we live in a world where we're tempted to keep up APPEARANCES- our homes, our relationships, our business, our ministry…and even more so, the way we dress, and how our body looks. No wonder it's easy to put BODY IMAGE ISSUES (or any other kind of appearance) in a wrong place in our heart, making it where we find our beauty, acceptance and desirability. But God doesn't see as man sees- He looks at the HEART. And He wants our heart to be fully His… Cuz that's what truly makes us BEAUTIFUL. So let's KEEP UP APPEARANCES…but this time from the inside out. And let's correct the wrong beliefs most of us hold around our beauty and body as women going through midlife so that our hearts are turned from worship of self to worship of Him.Ready to see your beauty through the eyes of Jesus?

Exercise Physiology Plus Menopause Physiology for the Midlife Exercise Rx

In this episode discussing the midlife exercise rx I host Dr Kathleen Jordan as we discuss from a Medical Exercise Specialist and a physician the mash up of menopause symptoms and exercise solutions to mitigate and amplify good health now and for decades ahead. In case you're curious, I have a couple stats. Nearly 50% of medical schools offer any training in exercise physiology. And 0% of these require it. At least 80% of physicians don't feel comfortable recommending exercise. When a doctor recommends exercise they're often helping you get moving at all. The suggestion to walk or do Pilates can be helpful. The match to your highest priorities comes from direct knowledge of the physiology of exercise + the physiology of menopause for the ideal midlife exercise Rx for you. Right now. Because it most certainly can change. My Guest: Dr. Kathleen Jordan. Described as a proponent of digital health and solving access issues, Dr. Kathleen Jordan has consistently leveraged innovative technology in patient care. After scaling her own medical practice, she became Chief Medical Officer at Dignity Health, then shifted to leadership roles at women's healthcare startups. She was Chief Medical Officer at Tia, focused on young women, prior to joining Midi Health. Her career highlights include: establishing telehealth services at Dignity Health; attaining the Health Equity Leadership Certification for the hospital and its programs; establishing a new trans health program in San Francisco for which she was awarded the Leadership in Innovation Award; helping Tia grow from one site to a multistate organization with leading healthcare system partnerships. She joined Midi with the goal of helping all women in midlife feel better and live stronger, longer. Her expertise has been tapped by The Washington Post, CNN, Yahoo News, and many other media outlets. She is a graduate of the UCLA School of Medicine and Stanford University. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What fitness and workout recommendations do you have for a woman navigating menopause and/or perimenopause? What do you see are some common misunderstandings or mistakes women make in trying to maintain fitness over 50? A patient is in your office or on a telemedicine call, what's the source of confusion or most common complaints? What do you believe to be the most important dietary considerations to further benefit a fitness routine during menopause? (and let's be clear- are these not important for women who aren't exercising?) Some women don't recognize they have entered perimenopause.. What are some of the lesser known or often overlooked symptoms? What do you see as a physician are some of the special exercise challenges of women in midlife hormonal transition?

Do You Need a Detox and If So, How?

Whether it is the beginning of the year or a new season or you're listening later to this episode, cleanses and detoxes are prevalent topics. Do you need a detox? I may have answered that very differently 10 years ago. This episode follows two recent episodes on detox and answers some of the questions from our community about what it is why it might be needed and it's not what you think. But once you know something you can't go back. In the last two years, I've done 3 liver detoxes. I have a recent episode on biohacking, and admit I have disliked the word hacking forever. Yet, many of us are biohacking as we gain insight into the what and why of the body. We didn't label it. We do elimination diets, we sauna, steam, sweat, and those all help us naturally detox. But does the body need a detox boost from time to time? And if so why? Why am I answering this question? Because when a woman asks, why am I gaining weight when I'm doing everything right? Or someone asks why they can't lose weight… I've had to have an explanation for that. While the After 50 Fitness Formula and Flipping 50 methodologies taken from science can support an updated version of “healthy for you” that replaces healthy for all, there are stubborn cases. I've witnessed them for 40 years. And would say, I've had to solve my own mysteries along the way- this last 5 years more than ever. Many fitness pros do and it's what leads them to the Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What is detox? Do you need a detox? What could interfere with natural detox? How can we support our natural body detox processes? What is a detox experience like? Is there a difference between a cleanse and a detox? What is Detox? A process of clearing toxins out of the body. The body does it well automatically. Except at a tipping point. Tipping points are one cause of cancer. Combine genetics, and don't blame your parents – we all have potential cancerous cells within us but they don't all express – with two other factors.. The saying goes, genetics may load the gun but lifestyle habits pull the trigger. And the environment is the third. So consider this, maybe genetically you're more predisposed. Your environment is contaminated, because say you live in a location where air quality or water quality is loaded with heavy metals and weren't aware of it. And let's say in effort to do the right thing you clean within an inch of your life and always have. But if this was true before toxin-free products were even discussed and you've used all kinds of products promoted to kill germs, eliminate odors, sanitize your kitchen where you eat, the bathtub where you and your family bathe. This could be enough to reach a tipping point. When families endure cancer, they begin to learn this. Often before that, we ignore or figure that it's just someone trying to sell us a product or service. We collectively ridicule something that we aren't ready to accept. If it's too far from beliefs we've always had, it feels threatening. That's often the human reaction to something. Judgment. Skepticism. To anything that makes us uncomfortable with knowledge we thought we had, about habits we thought were good. When those are challenged we first get defensive. Curiosity isn't unfortunately our first response. But the heavy metals in your fillings, from tuna or other fish high in mercury, in drinking water; chemicals in cleaning products, hair and body products, things we've thought were good like fluoride in drinking water… and the BPA in plastics we all not only ate food or drank from but often also microwaved food in and stored it for days in the refrigerator. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Toxins make fat loss hard and are hormone disruptors. Tweet What Could Interfere with Natural Detox? Your body can deal with toxins. But one way is removing them from your bloodstream and storing them in fat. That makes fat loss hard as the body is reluctant to release these stored toxins. One reason the process gets interrupted is the combined overload mentioned above and too few ways to eliminate toxins. If you're not regularly sweating, during exercise, and also in sauna (preferably infrared sauna), or pooping daily at least once, supporting yourself by drinking purified water and including plenty of fiber in your diet, natural detoxification is limited. If you continue exposure to processed foods, sweeteners, polluted water or air, or have a mouthful of old amalgams, you're making it harder to detox. Even eating what seem to be healthy foods, that aren't for you, can contribute to this disrupted detoxification because your body isn't processing them well. I didn't understand the mechanism behind this and if you have a queasy stomach, you may want to turn this off. I've vomited directly onto my laptop keyboard while drinking a really poor coffee choice. You may wonder why I talk about clean sources of matcha and coffee ? It matters. Even if you're getting away with it, doesn't mean there isn't damage being done. If you have 95% of everything well, missing a step may not be a problem here and there. But when your body becomes loaded down, even with those of us that live health-consciously, your body will rebel somehow. I put together a list of things I did last year, and among them: 182 gallons of drinking water 109 Epsom salt baths 730 mugs of matcha 500+ showers Considering that, first and foremost, what if my drinking water or tap water is contaminated? Fluoride, chlorine, or I was drinking out of plastics, soaking in water regularly? What if I wasn't careful of my matcha and was drinking mold and heavy metal-laden green tea? I'm doing those things every single day. BTW: I choose PIQUE and you should too! If you're a coffee drinker – I do recently more too – because I'm drinking a coffee designed to NOT have mold(common) and infused with minerals and electrolytes. Try it yourself here. I also had a water filter system installed for the entire house and for drinking water. It took three times for me to roast a pan of veggies, eat them and almost immediately, get nauseous and throw up to put the clues together. It was the food for sure, specifically sulfurous foods. That I ate often: broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, onions and garlic. Just to name a few that I eat often in copious amounts. Now, sulfur can be good for the body, but if something else is off, it can trigger the issues like I've described. It's not about eliminating those foods 100% all the time. It's about fixing the root cause of the problem. Why Would You Need a Detox? Here's what I find is the kicker; signs you may need a detox mimic many signs of menopause: Weight gain Inability to lose weight Bloating, constipation, diarrhea Puffiness Lethargy and fatigue Insomnia Elevated Cholesterol Water retention Headaches Skin rashes, acne Moodiness Unstable blood sugar or insulin resistance So it's not a coincidence. At a time when your hormones change, you tolerate things less well. Your body has the hormetic stress of the phase of life you're in, and possibly can't work as hard to process all the toxins from your past and present as well. How can we support our natural detox processes? How Your Exercise Supports Natural Detox – Podcast Episode First and foremost, start exercising regularly if you're not already. Exercise moves everything so your circulation, respiration, digestion are all enhanced. You'll sweat, expire and eliminate toxins better. The lymphatic system is a part of that and you'll hear more about that in the podcast on natural detox with exercise. Natural detox occurs with the liver first every day. It filters everything. But if it's on overload as from above it can't do the job. There's three ways to lighten the load. First, reduce exposure to toxins. Second, reduce the load on the body. Third, support the key ways toxins are eliminated: pee, poop, sweat. If you wanted to do a natural 3 day detox you could: Upgrade all the products you use on a daily and weekly basis. Perfumes and fragrance in lotions and shampoos are toxic, so look everywhere. Eliminate foods you know are toxic for you – processed foods, those with preservatives/additives, use organic, alcohol and sugar. Eat lighter with soups and smoothies or cooked veggies to reduce digestive stress. Consider intermittent fasting for a longer period of time. Move but don't do strenuous or long intense exercise during this time. Get lots of rest. Drink lots of pure filtered water, increase your fiber intake, move regularly, or sauna. My detox experience? In order to support detox for something specific like mold exposure – I used glutathione and Charcoal. In order to do a liver cleanse I took supplements with scalar frequency and those that helped me intermittent fast with some boosted benefits for the body's own rejuvenation. Inside the Flipping 50 membership, we regularly do a self-directed kickstart. This is just a very simple elimination of food sensitivities, awareness of other toxins in your environment, knowledge of how to support your own system and tracking progress start to end. But sometimes it takes more. I've done a liver cleanse with Sara Banta of Accelerated Health Products. I've done this three times now and it gets easier each time and I've learned so much. Look, I don't like “cleaning myself out.” But this recent process was so easy compared to previous flushes. I'll do it again sooner than I have before. She made the final stages so much easier. Perhaps I'm less distracted than I've been for a decade too. The entire process was just simpler and smoother. The exposure to amyloid proteins and spike protein that are real for all of us who regularly think of chicken and turkey, not to mention the post-pandemic status whether or not you chose to do a poke. For me, the final cleaning out was no less pleasant but it also was a huge eye opener about what's going on in my body, why I have felt less than 100%. And for those of you that “do well.” In fact, if you do better than most, it's all too easy to settle and tell yourself what others are telling you: you do so much, I don't know how you do it… I know you! But stop… if you don't feel 100%, you're not. End of story. Dig for why. In show notes I'll share how to get access to Sara's next cleanse. She does them monthly, with a coaching group where she answers questions, a very complete pdf, as well as videos to explain what and exactly how to do the cleanse. If you choose to do it, I'll support you in any way I can too. I'll share the other ways I detox every day and week of the year with my coffee, tea, and sauna and inside our member's area for our members, you'll be able to search for detox options to DIY or with our other members.

Wonder how to detox? Or if you even need to? I know my view on this has changed dramatically in the last decade. Once under the belief that our body's detox naturally enough to do the job, I don't think that's the case any more. I think we often need a boost and depending on how clean your lifestyle more or less often. By now you know toxins absorbed by our body because we eat them, breath them, wear them (including fragrances) or have them in our homes or cars… are stored in fat. That makes fat hard to lose. But there's more to it. Those toxins still do damage and compromise your function. This episode is about how to detox. My Guest: In addition to being the host of the Top 100 Health Podcast, Accelerated Health TV & Radio Show which reaches over 600,000 listeners per month, Sara Banta is the owner and founder of the award-winning supplement company; Accelerated Health Products. Her goal is to help her clients and listeners reach their optimal state of health through quality detox supplements, cutting-edge health technologies, and modalities. Her journey was on a different path until she hit rock bottom. After western medicine couldn't give her the health answers she was looking for, she discovered natural solutions that actually worked. As she was healing from Crohn's disease, hormonal issues, PCOS, IBS, and heavy metal toxicity, she was hit with my 9-year-old son's diagnosis of leukemia. It was at that moment she knew she had a bigger calling in life; to open people's eyes to the world of natural healing.

Are you doing the best you can to stay healthy and be happy, but your body (and maybe your whole life) seems to be falling apart anyway? We search for information about our symptoms. And go from doctor to doctor looking for a diagnosis. Because we need to feel validated…to know we're not crazy. And we think the answer is to give our experience a name…a label…so we can understand exactly what's wrong with our body. But the best you can hope for in that scenario is that you'll be able to afford whatever medication you're prescribed. And then you'll have to figure out how to deal with the side effects, loss of vitality and lower quality of life. The alternative is to realize that (at least) 90 percent of your health is a product of your own thoughts and subsequent behaviors. Yes, you need to eat better, exercise more and reduce your toxic load. But you already know that's hard to do when your mind has decided that you're a victim of circumstances (genetics, upbringing, geography, career, finances and family dynamics). My guest today is Sheryl Carroll, an integrative health practitioner and coach. Our conversation today is strategically designed to help you connect the dots on what's really holding you back from living in radiant energy, and feeling strong and sexy in both mind and body. In Episode 92 (part 1) you'll learn: Why the absence of joy in your life is the canary in the coal mine when it comes to future health problems The surprising mistakes that cause you to over-drink, over-eat and procrastinate Why a holistic approach to wellness is the only way to exponentially expand what is possible for you In Episode 93 (part 2), you'll learn: The three conditions that predict autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's and IBS Why bad moods and lack of energy and motivation are symptoms, not causes, of the problem.

We dive deep into the profound reality that if our lives aren't what we want them to be, the power to change that rests solely in our hands. This awakening often hits women hard in midlife, around menopause, as the awareness of time becomes more acute. Drawing inspiration from unexpected places like the Trolls movie, Sarah shares her insights into personal responsibility and the freedom it brings. We discuss the big-picture and smaller-picture ways we can apply the idea of "No One Is Coming" to craft days and years that align with our desires.

In this brief yet powerful episode of Bite-Sized Balance, my regular guest and BFF Sarah Baillie and I explain the transformative idea behind "Holding it Lightly", a tool we both use regularly in our coaching practices. I open up about a challenging period in my life and how intentionally loosening my grip on the problem (with the help of a fantastic coach!) led to a remarkable shift in my feelings, behaviors, and overall well-being. We explore the tendency among women to hold tightly to situations and desired outcomes, and how often this is driven by a need for control. But we can't control other people, we can only choose how we respond and react to them. Have a listen and then experiment with holding life a little more lightly yourself – we can't wait for you to discover the magic that unfolds when you let go of the need to tightly grasp every aspect of your journey!

In this fascinating episode, I'm joined by Adele Spraggon, a Behavioral Change Expert and author, to explore the complicated world of decision-making in your brain. Adele sheds light on why your brain is always making choices on your behalf (spoiler alert: it's not your fault!) and unveils the step-by-step path to reprogramming it with a fresh set of operating instructions. Together, we dig into neuroscience to uncover how understanding your brain can empower you to make positive changes in your life (in all areas, even your drinking!). If you've ever wondered why you do what you do, and how to regain control, this episode is your key to unlocking your brain's full potential. In this conversation, Adele and I delve into practical strategies and insights that can help you take charge of your decision-making process. We talk about: Why you can't (and shouldn't) believe everything you think Why you also shouldn't always believe what your BFF thinks Why you need to stop asking “why” you're doing something and ask “what” you're thinking, feeling, and doing- instead And why breaking free from habits that aren't serving you isn't nearly as much work as you think!

In this short and insightful Bite-Sized Balance episode, my regular guest and BFF, Sarah Baillie, and I explore the notion of "Filling the Space" that often arises as we begin to say "no" to things that no longer serve us, set boundaries, and experience a shift in caregiving duties as our children grow older. Sarah beautifully articulates the common discomfort we feel with unoccupied time, driven by societal expectations of busyness. This tendency to fill the void immediately can lead to hasty decisions that don't actually serve us and the adoption of unhealthy coping mechanisms. Sarah's heartfelt story about "Hershey," the almost-adopted dog, highlights the profound lessons she gained about her own relationship with free time. Tune in to uncover how embracing the space in midlife can pave the way for authentic self-discovery and transformation.

Ayurveda, Women's Hormones and Midlife with Carina Greweling

No matter what kind of healing or balance you're seeking in this season of life, you've probably realized that quick fixes and shortcuts rarely bring about lasting results. But taking that initial step towards educating yourself is the first stride toward creating real change. In this episode, I sit down with Ayurveda Health Coach, Carina Greweling, who helps women achieve lasting hormone balance by restoring healthy sleep, gut health, and energy. She's a certified Ayurveda Hormone Coach, Chinese medicine practitioner, and naturopath. In this crash course in Ayurvedic wisdom, Carina explains the three constitution types known as doshas, which are rooted in the five fundamental elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether. According to Ayurvedic medicine, the doshas play a significant role in shaping an individual's physical, emotional, and mental characteristics. This was all new to me, but I found it fascinating. It's a really interesting complimentary approach (that's been around for thousands of years!) to conventional approaches to supporting midlife wellness. We talk about: Understanding Ayurveda as a holistic system of healing, that includes the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects, within the context of the universe and nature The three constitution types and why you might resonate with more than just one The influence of the earth's seasons on Vata, Pitta, and Kapha How drinking alcohol might impact your constitution type The significance of aligning lifestyle habits—such as sleep, nutrition, and movement—with your constitution type You can learn more about Carina and connect with her on her website at https://carinagreweling.com/, and listen to her podcast THRIVE.
