She opens up about the power of understanding blood sugar balance, how spices like cinnamon can help reduce cravings and improve metabolism, and why focusing on adding nutritious foods works better than restriction.

"You can accomplish feeling like the best version of yourself no matter what age you are. It's very different than all the approaches we're hearing out there." - Nagina Abdullah Nagina Abdullah is a leading weight loss coach specializing in empowering women in midlife to achieve lasting health transformations. As the founder of the renowned website MasalaBody.com, she has personally coached over 1,500 women to successfully lose weight permanently by optimizing their metabolism. Utilizing her background in molecular and cell biology from UC Berkeley, Nagina combines scientific principles with practical lifestyle changes, including strategic use of metabolism-boosting foods and spices. Episode Summary: In this episode of "Oh, My Health... There Is Hope!" host Jana Short welcomes Nagina Abdullah, a prolific weight loss coach renowned for her expertise in helping midlife women achieve sustainable weight loss. Nagina discusses the science-backed strategies she uses to boost metabolism, address sugar cravings, and guide women toward a healthier lifestyle. She shares her personal journey of overcoming weight loss challenges and how she engineered a lifestyle shift for herself after experiencing menopause-induced weight gain. The conversation delves into actionable insights on dietary strategies that focus on increasing protein intake and understanding the role of metabolism-boosting foods. Nagina emphasizes that traditional dieting and calorie restriction can be counterproductive, especially during midlife. She offers practical advice on incorporating healthy foods and spices into daily meals. Nagina also introduces her upcoming five-day metabolism boost event as an opportunity for women to learn and transform their health journey, focusing on practical, sustainable changes that align with life's demands. Key Takeaways: Nagina Abdullah emphasizes the importance of boosting metabolism through the strategic addition of nutritious foods rather than restrictive dieting. Incorporating 30 grams of protein per meal is crucial to stabilizing blood sugar, reducing sugar cravings, and promoting sustainable weight loss in midlife. The transition into menopause requires a revised approach to dieting, focusing on metabolism and anti-inflammatory foods to counteract hormonal changes. Midlife dietary approaches should aim to maintain steady blood sugar levels, counteracting the body's tendency towards insulin resistance. Nagina Abdullah's five-day metabolism boost event will provide live teachings on sustainable weight loss strategies specifically tailored for women in midlife.

What if the thing you've been dreaming about doesn't fall apart…but actually works out?So often in midlife, we get stuck in a cycle of “what if it fails?” thinking. What if people judge me? What if I'm too old? What if I'm not ready?But here's the game-changing question I want you to hold close: What if it works out?In this solo episode of Reinvention Rebels, I'm exploring how shifting the question changes everything in your midlife reinvention journey. Instead of focusing on fear, you can root yourself in possibility and courage.✨ In this episode, I share:Why our brains are wired to default to fear, and how to break the cycleA personal story about flipping my perspective from doubt to daringThe profound nugget that helped me win a Women Who Podcast Award (Mary Newell's reminder that she is her own heroine at 75)How you can start building your own “what if it works out” mindset todayBy the end of this episode, you'll feel empowered to see your reinvention through a whole new lens, one that reminds you that the best is yet to come.
The day my DEXA scan results revealed osteoporosis was a wake-up call I dreaded. No symptoms. No warning signs. Just a family history of poor bone health. The casual “take medication and see you in two years" was a no-go for me. Like so many women in midlife, I knew there had to be another way.In this episode, I share my personal journey of reversing bone loss and improving my DEXA scan results—without relying solely on pharmaceuticals. If you are being presented with an option of drug therapy, please have the conversation with your doctor about what steps are best based on the severity of your disease. From strength training with proper form and lifting heavier weights, to increasing protein to 110–120 grams daily, optimizing supplements like vitamin D3, K2, calcium, magnesium, and collagen, and making lifestyle shifts around alcohol, sleep, hormones, and daily sunshine—this holistic approach has transformed my health in many ways.You'll learn:Why osteoporosis is called the “silent disease” (and how to catch it early)The nutrition, supplements, and workouts that actually support bone densityHow lifestyle choices—sleep, stress, and hormones—affect bone remodelingThe real results from my follow-up DEXA scanIf you're a midlife woman worried about osteoporosis, fractures, or staying strong and independent as you age, this episode will give you practical strategies and hope. Don't wait for a fracture to get serious about your bone health—start building stronger bones and a stronger future today.Supplements/Hormone Therapy I am taking: (Please consult your healthcare provider before adding any supplements.)Solaray Magnesium Glycinate https://amzn.to/4oCSXwR Solaray Calcium Citrate with D3 https://amzn.to/3HFEzTI Thorne Zinc https://amzn.to/4mLwATUOsteo-K Minis - NBI Health https://amzn.to/45UnNtfCollagen Peptides - Healthy Bones Co. https://amzn.to/419VNPLEstradiol 0.05 Transdermal PatchProgesterone 100 mgTestosterone 5mg. - Transdermal (compounded)Past shows on OsteoporosisEp.21 Kevin Ellis - The Bone CoachEps.63 & 118 Rebecca Rotstein - The Buff Bones MethodEp.126 Dr. John Neustadt - Osteoporosis Research & NBI HealthEp.156 Dr. Doug Lucas - Orthopedic Surgeon and Osteoporosis Specialist _________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

The paper has been shared widely across social media, and this interview with Dr Wright is an edited version from last year diving into Dr Wright's efforts to create awareness of this constellation of muscle and joint problems experienced during perimenopause. This is an issue close to Dr Wright's heart: it was the first thing she went though in perimenopause. Listen in as she explains why MSM is her mission, just what happens to our bones and muscles as we get older, and delves into the need for proper diagnosis and preventive measures such as exercise and diet, and the importance of estrogen in maintaining bone health.

Losing Hair? Losing Confidence? Your hair is the messenger...are you listening? August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month and today I'm sharing what I wish every woman in midlife knew: It's not random. It's not just “getting older.” Midlife Hair loss is your body asking for support.It's often dismissed as cosmetic, but in midlife, hair loss tells a much deeper story.For many midlife women, it begins subtly: a widening part, more hair in the drain, a shift in texture. For others it's sudden, and terrifying, but it doesn't have to be.In today's episode, I'm unpacking the patterns I see most often in my clients. We'll explore the different types of hair loss, the real causes (often overlooked), and give you some proactive strategies that actually work.And I'll walk you through the key shifts I recommend to my private clients so you can stop guessing, and start getting to the root of what's happening in your body.In this episode:The most common types of hair loss in women and how to identify themHow nutrient depletion and hormonal shifts are silently impacting your folliclesThe role of stress, inflammation, and scalp health in regrowthNutrition strategies that support regrowth from the inside outMentioned in this episode:Catch up on the entire WTF Series:Midlife Moment: WTF Is Happening to my Hair?WTF Is Happening to My Hair PT. 2WTF Part 3: Giving Your Hair a Reset and Going DRY this JanuaryJoin the waitlist for ROOTED my high-touch, nutrition-first hair regrowth program for women in midlife.

Welcome to the first episode in a five-part series on self-silencing and its profound effect on women's health. I'm Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer at Protea Medical Center, and in this episode, I break down how self-silencing — the learned suppression of one's needs, emotions, and voice — directly influences weight gain, hormone disruption, autoimmunity, cardiovascular risk, and more. This is a deeply personal and evidence-backed conversation rooted in decades of clinical experience and medical research. I discuss real patient patterns, the emotional layers behind common health complaints, and why this silent epidemic deserves more space in medicine. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with feeling unheard, unseen, or overwhelmed by caretaking roles, this is for you. Citations: 13] Jakubowski, K.

We've been told our whole lives not to want too much, need too much, or ask for more. So we don't. We shrink, we wait, and we hope someone notices and gives it to us anyway. And then we wonder why we're so tired, resentful, and invisible. This episode is your wake-up call. I'm pulling back the curtain on the hardest thing I've done lately: Asking for what I want, for what I deserve. I share the origin story of my book, The Selfish Year - the miserable woman I used to be, and the moment I stopped waiting for someone to save me. You'll hear: Why asking feels so wrong, and why that's a lie. How we betray ourselves when we don't ask. What selfish actually means for women who are ready to save themselves. Why The Selfish Year isn't just a book...it's a rebellion. If you've ever wanted more, but felt guilty for even saying it, this is for you. And yes, I'm asking too: Please pre-order The Selfish Year! Pre-order here and get The Selfish Woman Starter Kit as a big thank you from moi.
We all know the usual journaling prompts, morning pages, brain dumps, gratitude lists. But what if you wrote a story instead? One where you are the main character. Where you let your desires speak. Where you remember the parts of you that got quiet over the years. In this episode, I share what happened when I began writing my Love Story, not to find someone, but to find me. And how, when that story had served its purpose, I started a new one: The Story of My Becoming. Messy. Real. Midlife. Not about waiting, but choosing. To live, to feel, to show up as the woman I want to be, now. If you've been feeling disconnected, try writing for yourself. Let the page be your mirror. Let her see you, today. --- Need a space to come home to yourself? My Daily Chat Support is here for those in-between moments, the wobbles, the wins, the quiet longings. You're not meant to walk midlife alone. Let's walk it together. x https://kiransinghuk.com/

“What we decide to put in our mouth each day, what time we decide to go to sleep, who we choose to engage with, how much movement we get, how we manage our stressors, those choices that we make each day that seem really simple, those have the biggest impact on our brain health as we age." - Dr. Heather Sandison When my son Grant suffered his traumatic brain injury, I learned firsthand how devastating cognitive decline can be for an entire family. That's why I was so excited to sit down with Dr. Heather Sandison, a pioneering naturopathic doctor who's literally rewriting the story around Alzheimer's and dementia. While most memory care centers are one-way doors, Heather runs what she calls a "memory recovery program" where the goal is for people to return home—and they're doing it! Through her groundbreaking work applying Dr. Dale Bredesen's protocols, she's seeing 74% of her patients with cognitive impairment actually improve. Her approach to preventing Alzheimer's in midlife women focuses on hope, action, and evidence-based strategies that work. Whether you're carrying APOE4 genes, worried about your family history, or simply want to protect your brain as you age, this conversation is packed with hope and actionable strategies for preventing Alzheimer's in midlife women. From the power of ketogenic nutrition and sleep optimization to addressing hidden infections and hormonal signaling, Heather breaks down the six pillars of brain health that every woman over 40 needs to understand. This isn't about accepting decline—it's about taking control of your cognitive destiny. The six key components of brain health and how to optimize each one for preventing alzheimer's in midlife women Why APOE genetic testing is crucial for women over 40 and how to act on your results How sleep apnea (even in thin women who don't snore) devastates brain health and simple at-home testing options The specific ketogenic approach that helps patients remember their grandchildren's names within 72 hours Hidden infections in your mouth and body that trigger brain inflammation and cognitive decline Why caregivers have 2-6 times higher risk of developing Alzheimer's and how to protect yourself The surprising connection between hormones, exercise, and building new brain connections after menopause Simple lifestyle interventions that work better than any pharmaceutical for preventing cognitive decline Love the Podcast?

If you've been bouncing between skincare lines and feeling underwhelmed by promises and airbrushed claims, this conversation delivers the real deal.

What if the real glow-up in midlife has nothing to do with wrinkle creams—and everything to do with finally showing up unapologetically as yourself?Meet Sherri Dindal, better known as The Real Slim Sherri—the blue-haired, tattooed, profanity-positive powerhouse who's become a viral voice for women over 40. With over 5 million followers, Sherri's raw, hilarious, and brutally honest takes on menopause, midlife identity shifts, and societal invisibility have struck a nerve—and built a movement.After 26 years in a male-dominated investigative career, Sherri walked away with no backup plan. What followed? A wildly successful boutique, a clean skincare brand tailored for menopausal skin (Wholesome Hippie), and an accidental TikTok empire born out of a post-COVID haze. Oh—and now she's headlining sold-out comedy shows across the country on her Gen X Takeover Tour.She never planned this life. She never thought she was funny. And she definitely never expected midlife to be the beginning of everything.From parenting through “second puberty” (ahem, menopause), to the sacred ritual of quiet mornings with coffee, Sherri's message is refreshingly clear:
Have you ever felt frozen on the edge of a big life decision—knowing it's the right move but unable to leap? In this solo episode, I share how to work with fear instead of against it. Whether you're navigating a breakup, a career pivot, or the uncertainty of caregiving, I guide you through how to build a relationship with fear, use it as your compass, and honor your higher self in the process. We unpack the myth that courage means fearlessness and reframe fear as a dance partner to transformation. You'll hear tangible mindset shifts and practical tools to build emotional capacity and move forward—one brave step at a time. If you're ready to stop waiting for the fear to disappear and start stepping into the life you're meant for, this episode is for you. What we explore: Fear doesn't go away—it's something we walk with. Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's moving forward with fear present. Fear is often a misguided protector, trying to shield you from pain or rejection. Creating a dialogue with fear transforms it from a roadblock to a guide. Action builds clarity, momentum, and confidence—fear loses power when you act. Reflection prompts: What's one moment in your life when you felt fear and took action anyway? What is your fear trying to protect you from? What small, courageous step can you take today?

He shares how some women, particularly in their 30s, feel lost in their bodies after having children, and why many of his patients — moms in their 30s, 40s, and 50s — are looking for more than just a single procedure. They want comprehensive, whole-body care that helps them feel like themselves again.They also discuss the rise in revision surgeries, especially tummy tucks. Dr. Camp breaks down what to look for in an improperly done tummy tuck, how liposuction techniques like VASER and MicroAire help reduce trauma and improve results. He also explains why he's “Team Drains” and how that impacts healing. He shares what patients should ask when choosing a surgeon and how trust and communication are key.Key Topics Covered:Why moms in their 30s, 40s, and 50s seek holistic plastic surgeryHow some women feel lost in their bodies after having childrenWhat leads to tummy tuck revisions and how to avoid themNew advances in liposuction: VASER and MicroAireWhy Dr. Camp uses drains and how it affects healingThe importance of whole-body care over one-off proceduresFollow Dr. Steven Camp:Website: campplasticsurgery.comInstagram: @stevencampmdTikTok: @drstevencampFacebook: Steven Camp MD Plastic SurgerySend us a textDo you want help planning your surgery?
