I just turned 40 last month. And I don't know what shifts inside at midlife, but something changes when you hit this milestone. You start asking different questions: "Is this it?" "Is this who I really am?" "Is this all there is for me?" And if you've been battling an eating disorder for decades—maybe 10 years, maybe 20, maybe 30—you're asking an even harder question: "Who am I without this?" It's Eating Disorder Awareness Month. And this year, I want to talk about something we don't talk about enough—eating disorders in midlife. Did you know that eating disorder hospitalizations for women aged 45-65 have increased by 42% in the last decade? And yet, we still act like eating disorders are just a "young woman's problem." But if you're a woman in your late 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, and you're still struggling, I see you. This is NOT just a young woman's issue. And this episode? This one's for you. Because here's the truth: Midlife is an identity crisis. And breaking up with your eating disorder? That's an identity crisis too. And when those two collide, it can feel overwhelming. But what if this collision isn't a crisis at all? What if it's a crossroads? What if midlife is the PERFECT time to finally break free? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why midlife identity crisis and ED identity crisis are shockingly similar The statistics: 42% increase in ED hospitalizations for women 45-65, 13% of women over 50 engage in disordered eating Why more women are reaching out for support in midlife (and why that's powerful) The 5 reasons why NOW is the perfect season to go all in on recovery Why menopause/perimenopause can actually SUPPORT your recovery, not hinder it How to answer "I've had this for 30 years—how can I possibly recover now?" Real client stories: Women who recovered at 47, 52, and 61 What life AFTER ED in midlife actually looks like The reframe: This isn't a crisis, it's a crossroads Why the second half of your life is waiting for you to reclaim it KEY QUOTES

“Take five minutes for yourself” can feel insulting when your life doesn't pause.In this episode, we give five minutes a new job, not to fix you or restore you completely, but to help you remember that you exist.You'll learn the simple but powerful framework of Notice, Name, Nourish, and how to use it anywhere: bathrooms, hallways, cars, waiting rooms, hospital corridors. We talk honestly about why caregivers struggle to stop, what happens when needs go unacknowledged, and how tiny moments of care can prevent emotional collapse.This episode is for caregivers who feel like they're running on empty, who believe that small pauses don't matter and who are ready to discover that five minutes can be enough to change how the rest of the day feels.

In this episode of the Winter Soul Care series, Alexander invites you into a simple, grounding writing practice inspired by the work of Francis Weller. Following the previous walking meditation, this episode shifts from movement to the page—using writing as a way to give the mind something nourishing to chew on. You're offered a single reflection question: In what ways do you nourish the ritual of everyday life? Listeners are encouraged to write for ten minutes, then return to hear Alexander's own lived response—exploring ritual, repetition, grief, tending, and the sacredness hidden in ordinary acts like laundry, sleep, movement, and daily care. This episode is an invitation to slow down, make room for intention, and rediscover how the small, repeated moments of life can become a source of nourishment and meaning.

Nourish your people, Lord.

May the vulnerable be guarded with love. May the powerful awaken to wisdom. May the earth and its being be cherished. May peace take root in every direction. ~Jack Kornfield Praying It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. Thank you ~ Mary Oliver Instructions for Having a Soul Take it out in the rain sometimes. It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt and need rinsing. When it tries to kill you that is because you've forgotten to let it look into someone's eyes for longer than a minute. It needs that the way a bee needs nectar in the early morning dew. Every so often, take it on a journey. Let it read long, hard books and let it stare into the depths of the sea. Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey but from time to time let it kneel in a place that is holy like the simple cathedral of the willows. All it wants is to live, to keep becoming. Nourish it, and it puts down roots, it opens. But starve it, and the mind, the flesh is empty; the world breaks down; symphonies go unwritten; the rockets fall; the children die in flames. Listen. It is not too late to wake it. Say the names of the wild, the forgotten things: bluebird, red wolf, robin; violet, child, clover. You cannot save the world but you can open the window for the trapped wren in the cellar. Read a book to a blind man, to your father. Tell a child you do believe her anger. Make your life the first life that you save. —Joseph Fasano

2 weeks ago, the United States Government released the 2025 Dietary Guidelines and I'm giving all of my opinions (the good, the bad, and the indifferent).

In this episode, I sit down with the man who is on a mission to completely dismantle the way we think about modern medicine. Aidan Dewar is the Co-Founder and CEO of Nourish, and he believes that the healthcare industry has been ignoring the single most powerful tool for human longevity: what we put on our plates.We live in a world where we treat sickness rather than preventing it. In this conversation, Aidan exposes the cracks in the insurance system, reveals why "food as medicine" isn't just a buzzword but a biological reality, and shares the brutally honest lessons he learned while building a company that is fighting to make nutritional care accessible to every single American.We discuss the hidden crisis in our diets, the psychology of eating, and how to build a business that actually changes lives.Who is Aidan Dewar? Aidan Dewar is a healthcare disruptor and the CEO of Nourish. After witnessing the inefficiencies of the traditional medical system, he co-founded Nourish to bridge the gap between patients and registered dietitians. His goal is simple but revolutionary: to make evidence-based nutrition a standard part of healthcare for everyone, regardless of their background.

What if the explosion of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy is not a weight loss revolution, but rather a warning sign that something in our metabolic health is fundamentally broken? Today, we take a deep dive into the lesser-known satiety hormones, such as CCK and PYY, exploring how dysfunction in these hormones could be silently accelerating your aging and sabotaging your health span. I'm excited to welcome Ashley Koff, a registered dietitian with more than 25 years of experience in functional and integrative nutrition, for a two-part series. In Part 1 today, we break down why your satiety hormones may be underperforming, how this links to aging and longevity, and simple strategies you can start using today to support metabolic health naturally. How to support your weight-health hormones: Focus on supporting your digestion first, rather than jumping straight into weight loss or metabolic fixes Ensure you're consuming enough protein and amino acids to support peptide hormone production Reduce gut irritants like alcohol, ultra-processed ingredients, and unnecessary fasting Nourish your body consistently, especially during times of hormonal change, instead of restricting View digestive symptoms as signs of dysfunction instead of problems to push through or ignore Bio: Ashley Koff Ashley Koff is a registered dietician and who is the founder of the Better Nutrition Program (BNP), the nutrition course director for UC Irvine's Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute's Integrative and Functional Medicine Fellowship, and a faculty member at the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA), where she teaches “An Integrative and Functional Nutrition Approach to Obesity and Weight Management.”  She is also the author of the upcoming book Your Best Shot (HarperOne, Jan. 6, 2026). A practitioner for more than 25 years, Koff is leading a transformative movement in personalized nutrition, turning “better, not perfect” choices into practical, sustainable strategies that deliver real health outcomes. Through patient stories and personal experience, she shows that optimal health is not just possible — it's essential to living your fullest life. Koff has been recognized as one of CNN's Top 100 Health Makers, featured in InStyle as “Hollywood's Leading Dietitian,” and selected as Westin's global nutrition ambassador.  In this episode: How separating weight from health leads to unhealthy behavior and long-term metabolic dysfunction Why a balanced approach is essential when using GLP-1 agonists and other interventions The importance of viewing digestive distress as an early warning sign, not a side effect to ignore How short-term diet “wins” can feel hopeful, yet fail to solve the underlying issue How metabolic health data points to a larger issue than most people realize The role weight-regulating hormones play beyond hunger and blood sugar Why supporting your weight health is foundational to your longevity  Links and Resources: Guest Social Media Links: Ashley Koff on Instagram  The Better Nutrition Program  Your Best Shot Relative Links for This Show:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code FIBER to get 10% off GLP-1 Fiber ⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code CREATINE to get 10% off Creatine Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

In this episode, we're sharing our word of the year—nourish—and what that actually looks like in real life. Instead of chasing big goals or a “new me,” we're focusing on supporting our body, home, routines, creativity, and mental load in a slower, more sustainable way.

Send us a textIn this New Year episode of Nourish the Nervous System, we explore winter not as a time for pushing forward or reinventing ourselves, but as a season of subtlety, listening, and inward refinement.Rather than loud resolutions or high-energy goals, winter invites a quieter kind of awareness — one that whispers instead of shouts. Through the Ayurvedic lens of Vata dosha and the Sanskrit quality sukshma (the subtle), we explore how this season affects the nervous system, our emotions, and our inner rhythms.This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and honor sensitivity as a form of strength — not fragility.In this episode, we explore:Why New Year's energy can feel misaligned in the deep of winterThe contrast between summer's outward buzz and winter's inward stillnessVata dosha in winter, with a focus on sukshma (the subtle quality)How winter heightens nervous system sensitivity and perceptionSubtle signs many people notice this time of year, including:quiet or lingering fatiguelow-grade anxietyemotional waves without a clear storyincreased sensitivity to sound, light, and conversationTranslating Ayurveda into modern language:sensory processingnervous system loadWhy “subtle” does not mean weak — it means attunedHow winter can surface emotional material without anything being “wrong”The cultural pressure to feel “up” and productive — even in winterHonoring rest without slipping into stagnation or disconnectionPractical ways to support sukshma energy in winter:Softening the edges of your day and reducing transitionsCreating sensory nourishment with dim lighting, quiet, and warmthUsing warm oil (especially on the feet) to ground the nervous systemStaying connected to intuition through journaling, somatic awareness, or creative expressionBalancing subtlety with sthula (the gross, tangible quality) through grounding movement:strength-based exercisewalking outdoorsusing larger muscle groupsgetting fresh air and natural lightReflection questions for the week:What feels louder now that life is quieter?What is asking for attention?What no longer fits?You're invited to sit with these questions gently — through journaling, meditation, or simply noticing what arises.Mentioned in this episode:Gentle Ayurvedic Guide to Perimenopause Rhythm & Ritual — a small-group seasonal cohort for perimenopause, Ayurveda, and somatic supportSpring and Fall cohortsFocused on rhythm, nervous system regulation, and seasonal wisdomJoin the waitlist to learn moreWinter doesn't ask us to fix ourselves.

There’s an old saying that goes “you are what you eat.” You might take that phrase with a grain of salt, but doctors agree: what we eat affects our blood pressure, blood sugar, cardiovascular health and more. It's knowledge that's generations old — food as a source of nourishment and healing. Essentially, food can act as medicine. From Ayurveda and Chinese herbs to modern-day food pharmacies — what we put on our plates impacts our health. But what can we do about it? Especially with inflation inching upward, seven-in-ten Americans say the cost of healthy food can be out of reach. We explore solutions.

Whitney Sanger isn't just a nonprofit founder — she's a mother of seven, a Dubuque native, a communications and storytelling pro, and the kind of woman who sees a gap and refuses to accept "that's just how it is" as an answer. In this conversation, Whitney shares the very personal journey that shaped her relationship with food, and how that journey eventually turned into Project Rooted — a nonprofit built on the belief that nutrition isn't only about what's on the plate… it's also about connection, dignity, community, and hope. We talk about the moment that sparked her curiosity (a simple school birthday lunch), the pushback she faced when she started asking bigger questions, and what it looked like to launch a nonprofit in early 2020 — and then pivot fast as the pandemic hit. You'll also hear how Project Rooted has evolved over the last five years, including their incredible Rooted Box program that's helping first graders build a relationship with fresh, local food in a way that's joyful, empowering, and deeply human. If you've ever felt a nudge to do something meaningful in your community — but you weren't sure where to start — Whitney's story will light something up in you. What You'll Hear in This Episode Whitney's early relationship with food — and how healing changed everything Why curiosity is often the beginning of meaningful work The birthday lunch that sparked the idea for Project Rooted How she found the right co-founder and built an aligned board What it looked like to launch in 2020… and pivot into immediate community impact The "Notes of Hope" that continue to anchor every program How the Rooted Box program works (and why kids LOVE "Rooted Box Day") Whitney's advice for anyone with a big idea that feels scary to say out loud What Whitney has found about herself: confidence + empathy Resources & Links Project Rooted Volunteer opportunities in Dubuque: volunteerdbq.com
