Dr. Deb Dittberner, Chief Clinical Officer and Director of Population Health at Herself Health, focuses on providing value-based care for women aged 50 and older through a model that prioritizes cognition, bone health, behavioral health, and cardiac health. Conventional primary care for older women often overlooks the complexities of aging, which Herself Health addresses through longer visits, proactive screening, and patient education. Technology is being successfully integrated into the environment to provide virtual visits, support medication adherence, and improve access to care.  Deb explains, "We are focusing on women 50 +, specifically women 65-plus who are heading into that Medicare world and have more complex medical problems. We see a real need to focus on that group, where we can create team-based care and deliver population health, value-based care for those patients, with a greater focus on keeping them well. And lowering healthcare costs and doctor visits by focusing on wellness rather than fee-for-service or on illness and problems."   "I think that as we age, it becomes more complicated. And I think advanced primary care takes that into consideration. We do longer visits for these patients. We focus on keeping them well. And what we're trying to do is look at the whole picture. Aging people have more hypertension, more diabetes, more chronic medical conditions, and taking the time to help with all of those conditions together and look at the whole picture is what we're trying to do." #HerselfHealth #PrimaryCare #WomensHealth #ValueBasedCare #Geriatrics #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCenteredCare #MedicareAge #ClinicalLeadership #HealthEquity #AdvancedPrimaryCare #HealthTech #PopulationHealth herself-health.com Download the transcript here

In 2001, Kathleen (Keen) Harrison, PhD, took a leave from her university faculty position in medical genetics to travel with the Semester at Sea program. A visit to Kenya's first orphanage for HIV-positive children changed the course of her life. She returned home feeling, “I just can't walk away from this.” She didn't.In 2005, Keen founded Project Harambee, a volunteer-run nonprofit supporting community-led initiatives across three pillars: health care, economic opportunity, and education. Its programs are both practical and powerful: Plant a Seed–Grow a Doc helps students from high schools in under-resourced communities to attend medical school and return to serve rural communities. Livestock donations—dairy goats, chickens, and pigs—help families reduce hunger and generate income.Women's cooperatives create crafts sold in the United States, building sustainable livelihoods.Today, Keen remains deeply committed while gradually transitioning leadership to nonprofit partners in Kenya and dedicated U.S. volunteers. Sustained by a wide circle of generosity, Project Harambee continues to grow—transforming lives across communities and generations."I left a profession in medical genetics and found a vocation supporting women and families in Kenya." - Kathleen HarrisonConnect with Keen:Email: keen.harrison.mcnulty@gmail.comWebsite: www.projectharambee.orgFacebook: harambee.nfpAfrica photo bookACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOUR SPONSOR AARP Illinois is dedicated to empowering adults 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

At 84, Phyllis Mitzen is still reshaping how communities care for older adults — with curiosity, courage and a fierce commitment to action.Phyllis spent 24 years at CJE Senior Life (formerly Council on Jewish Elderly) and went on to consult with Health & Medicine Policy Research Group. She was proud to be awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both Illinois and the National Association of Social Work. Phyllis serves on state and city Advisory Committees, and is currently active in the new Multi-Sector Plan on Aging, recognizing that without implementation its benefits will not be felt in Illinois. She reminds us that, equally important, the IL Dept on Aging, with 13 area agencies, depends on funding from the Older Americans Act. While it is reauthorized every 3 years, its funding is currently stalled with funding remaining at levels inadequate to meet growing needs. Phyllis' contribution to the Villages movement, specifically Skyline Village, has led to a consortium of 8 Villages in the Chicago Metro area. Many of these non-profit organizations have received Dementia Friendly designations, and are moving Chicago towards designation as a Dementia-Friendly city. These Dementia Friendly communities support, include, and empower people living with dementia, ensuring they can participate fully in social, cultural, and civic life. Why listen: Whether you work in aging services, advocate for policy change, or care for an aging loved one, Phyllis's practical wisdom, grassroots solutions, and insistence on turning plans into practice offer both inspiration and concrete next steps.“It's not the creation of the plan - it's the implementation that brings it alive.” - Phyllis MitzenCONNECT WITH PHYLLIS:Email: phyllis.mitzen@gmail.comAnd thank you to our sponsor, Women's Connection, a nonprofit women's group with chapters around the country.

Mariann Aalda—actor, hypnotherapist, and joyful “pro-aging evangelist”—invites us to rethink what it means to grow older. She interrogates ageism, asking“ Why should youth get all the good press?” And declares, “My vibrancy and vitality are due to my being Age-full, not Youth-full!” Drawing on a 30-year television career and her work in hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming (NLP), Mariann explores how language shapes our inner lives—“the words we use become internalized and we behave accordingly.” Today, through stand-up and solo performance, she shares her authentic self with candor and humor, encouraging women to pursue their dreams and “use our time wisely with curiosity, creativity, and joy.”“I'm not an older version of myself—I'm the Newest Model.” - Mariann AaldaConnect with MariannEmail: mariannaalda@aol.comAging Shamelessly https://www.mariannaaldainherprime.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOur Sponsor: Plymouth Place in LaGrange Park, IL. has redefined senior living with options and opportunities to fit individual needs and preferences.

Welcome to today's Midlife Minute episode. I've received a wave of questions about the best ways to fuel workouts and how to recognize signs that you're not eating enough to support your exercise routine. This topic is particularly relevant because many women in my community have practiced fasting, intermittent fasting, or other forms of time-restricted eating for years, which can sometimes lead to chronic under-fueling. Stay tuned to learn how to spot the signs of under-fueling and ensure your body gets the energy it truly needs. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How practicing intermittent fasting or time-restricted feeding for years can lead to energy deficits and poor workout recovery What happens to you when you're middle-aged and your protein intake is too low? Why women have a higher risk of chronic under-fueling consequences as their progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone decrease with age  How chronically elevated cortisol negatively impacts women's muscles, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity The importance of maintaining your muscles as you age Signs that indicate you may be under-fueling Strategies to support your health and performance in middle age 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!

Send a textWellness is a word we hear all the time—but what does it actually mean when life is complicated, busy, and sometimes overwhelming? In this milestone 200th episode, I explore the idea that living well isn't about perfection or rigid routines, but about the small choices we make every day that quietly shape our health, our relationships, and the direction of our lives. I invite you to reflect on the emotions you're choosing from, the responsibilities you're carrying, and the possibility that wellness might be closer than you think. If you've ever wondered how to care for yourself while managing a full and demanding life, this conversation might open a new perspective on what it truly means to live well.Quotes of the Week“Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing.” — Zeno “The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” — Plato CitationsCohen, S., Janicki-Deverts, D., & Miller, G.

Ilana Landsberg-Lewis went to law school to understand how power works—so she could help transform it in the service of justice, especially for women. Alongside her father, she co-founded and led a nonprofit funding community-based organization in sub-Saharan Africa working to turn the tide of AIDS and support African grandmothers raising a generation of grandchildren orphaned by the pandemic. When others dismissed older women as “not a sustainable investment,” Ilana helped launch an international movement of grandmothers across Canada, the UK, and the United States—raising more than $50 million and supporting millions of grandchildren. At the center of this work is her unwavering belief that older women are not only caregivers, but leaders, change-makers, and moral anchors for their communities.Through her podcast and fund, Ilana lifts up older women's stories and their power-- a practice of love and a commitment to liberation—from the chains of inequality and from the limits placed on whose lives are valued. Her work invites us to see the human family more fully, and to recognize older women as essential architects of justice across the globe.Connect with IlanaEmail:grandmothersonthemove@gmail.comWebsite: wisdomatworkpodcast.comThank you to our SPONSOR—AARP Illinois, dedicated to empowering adults 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

The fearless young amateur detective is the focus of new Netflix mystery series Seven Dials. Mia McKenna-Bruce is the award-winning actor bringing ‘Bundle' to the screen, alongside Helena Bonham-Carter and Martin Freeman, and Mia joins presenter Nuala McGovern live in the studio.How do you spot misinformation online? BBC Bitesize has launched a new series for schools tackling the problem, after new research with more than 400 teachers highlighted their growing concern about teenagers' relationship with online content. It shows most teachers believe critical thinking is now the most essential skill for young people, yet only a third feel able to teach it. Nuala is joined by psychologist Dr Martha Deros Collado and Pip Sanderson from the Center for Digital Information Literacy in Schools to discuss the issue and how to approach talking to teenagers about it. A new BBC investigation has been examining one of Russia's most covert war operations: the recruitment of foreign nationals as frontline soldiers for its invasion of Ukraine. A central figure of the documentary is a woman called Polina Alex-an-drovna Azarnykh. She's a former teacher turned recruiter who is now accused of misleading economically vulnerable men across the world into joining Russia's military. BBC documentary Into the Void: Putin's Foreign Fighters follows Senior International Investigations Correspondent Nawal Al-Maghafi as she exposes this shadowy system and the human cost behind it. She joins Nuala to discuss the story. Publishing "isn't taking the power of older women seriously" according to author Lesley Kara, in an article for industry bible The Bookseller. Lesley wrote about the number of older female authors, why there aren't enough books about middle-aged and older women and why she thinks the protrayals that do exist are often cliched.

BUFFALO, NY — December 19, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on November 18, 2025, titled “Epigenetic age predicts depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging: importance of biological sex.” This study, led by Cindy K. Barha of the University of Calgary and the University of British Columbia, along with Teresa Liu-Ambrose of the University of British Columbia, found that older women with a younger biological age measured years before the COVID-19 pandemic experienced a greater increase in depressive symptoms during the early lockdown period. These findings could help shape future mental health strategies, particularly for women with high emotional or caregiving demands. Epigenetic age is a biological marker that reflects how the body is aging and may differ from a person's actual age. Using long-term data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), the researchers investigated whether epigenetic age could predict changes in mental health during a major public health crisis. The study included over 600 adults, with an average baseline age of 63, and used two widely accepted epigenetic clocks, the DNAmAge and the Hannum Age, to estimate biological age. Depressive symptoms were tracked at four time points between 2012 and 2020, including during the height of the pandemic. “The mean participant chronological age at study entry was 63±10 years (46% female).” The analysis showed that in women, a younger biological age predicted a greater rise in depression during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was not observed in men or in individuals with older biological ages. The study challenges the common belief that a younger biological age always signals better mental or physical resilience. The researchers suggest that women with younger biological profiles may have been more socially or professionally active before the pandemic. When lockdowns disrupted daily routines and social connections, these individuals may have experienced more emotional distress. Additional factors, such as reduced physical activity, loss of routine, and decreased social interaction, known to affect both mental health and biological aging, may have had a stronger emotional effect on this group. The findings highlight the importance of considering biological sex when studying how aging affects mental well-being during stressful events. Although the study has some limitations, including the time gap between biological age measurement and the pandemic, it gives valuable insights into how biological and social factors interact during periods of crisis. Future research could use epigenetic clocks to better identify individuals at greater risk of mental health challenges during large-scale public health emergencies. Overall, this study adds to the growing field of social epigenetics and suggests that biological age may support more targeted public health planning, especially for older adults.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin details a study on the effects of vitamins C and E supplementation in older women with sarcopenia. The study, published in the journal Medicine, found that combining 1000 mg of vitamin C and 335 mg of vitamin E with a 12-week resistance training program significantly improved muscle mass, strength, and certain blood parameters compared to a placebo group. The benefits were attributed to the alleviation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Leyla underscores the importance of adequate animal protein intake to optimize resistance training outcomes.

The Babushka Phenomenon: Older Women and the Political Sociology of Ageing in Russia (UCL Press, 2025) by Dr. Anna Shadrina examines the social production of ageing in post-Soviet Russia, highlighting the role of grandmothers as primary caregivers due to men's traditional estrangement from family life. This expectation places grandmothers, or babushkas, in a position where they prioritise childcare and housework over their careers, making them unpaid family carers reliant on the state and their children. Dr. Shadrina situates older Russian women's experiences within the post-Soviet redefinition of the nation, analysing their portrayal in popular media and biographical narratives of women aged 60 and over in Russia and the UK. It addresses class and racial disparities, noting how some women outsource family duties to less qualified women, and emphasises age as a significant but overlooked axis of social inequality. From a feminist perspective, the book explores citizenship as both a status and a practice of inclusion and exclusion. By focusing on older women's rights to participate in private and public spheres, it discusses the new social inequalities that emerged after the USSR's collapse. Despite prioritising others' interests, older Russian women actively engage in economic citizenship, though their struggles for recognition are often excluded from formal economy and politics. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Bible calls older women to represent Christ well through the way they conduct themselves. They are to teach younger women how to live godly lives and how to be godly wives and mothers. It can be scary to ask someone to be a mentor to you or to be vulnerable with another person, but the reality is that the Bible calls young women to learn from older women. Older Women need to live godly lives so that they are qualified to teach young women. And it can be intimidating to teach young women because of the fear of saying something wrong or the insecurity that there is someone more godly than you. But still, God calls you, if you have the character of Christ, to teach young women. Sarah and Sheryl share their experiences in their relationship of being an older woman and younger woman. They share the importance of having this relationship and practical advice on how to seek someone to mentor or someone to be mentored by. Whether you are young or old this episode will be encouraging to you!Titus 2:3-5 NASBOlder women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.Resources:Consider The Lilies BookListen to Sarah's testimony:Listen to Sheryl and her husband give wisdom for what godly marriage should look like:If this episode was encouraging to you, you should share it!

✨ Episode Description  Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in midlife isn't doing at all...it's pausing. In this episode, I share how an unexpected weekend with my closest friends reminded me of the beauty of slowing down, accepting help, and finding clarity through connection. If you've been feeling stuck, this one's your invitation to take a breath and reset.

What if reinvention in midlife isn't a total life overhaul but a choice to change your mind and bet on yourself? In this candid conversation, Lori Gerber, dating coach, shares how being fired, reworking a marriage, and reframing menopause led her to reinvent life — and dating after 50 — with unapologetic positivity. Expect practical mindset shifts, a no-nonsense approach to dating, and concrete next steps to move from fear to action. What we cover:Lori's turning points: getting fired, marriage pivot, and choosing reinventionWhy past ≠ future: the mindset shift every dater needsHow to curate what you consume (media, conversations, negativity)Menopause: ditching the rabbit hole of doom and reclaiming agencyPractical moves: hire a coach, name the dream, make a plan, be accountableKey takeaways:You don't have to believe everything you think. Change the thought; change the outcome.Reinvention can be forced — and liberating. Sudden endings often open new doors.Curate your inputs. Unsubscribe from narratives that don't serve your midlife story.Plan + accountability = action.

If you could sit across from your younger self with a latte in hand, what would you say? That's the heart of today's conversation with 15-year-old Rose Patton.We thought it'd be fun to share some big sis advice — the kind of wisdom I wish I had tucked into our back pockets during those messy, beautiful teen years.In this episode, Rose shares her testimony and heart for discipling young women, and together we unpack:What we'd say to our younger selves (and the next generation of Christian girls).How Gen Z girls can stand confident in who God says they are despite the pressure of social media, comparison, and culture.Encouragement for older Christian women who want to come alongside their younger sisters in Christ.Whether you're in high school figuring out faith in real time, or you're a woman looking to encourage the next generation, this episode is packed with truth and a whole lot of sisterly love.To connect with Rose, head over to @blessed_bonds1 on IG!Rose's podcast, Blessed Bonds: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blessed-bonds/id1788375577 Rose's devotional, Better Believe It: https://amzn.to/4lsuUh3 SUPPORT BY WORDS: https://buymeacoffee.com/bywordsSHOP MY BOOKS:Waking Up: Living Open — https://amzn.to/3LusgrzLove Is Devotional — https://amzn.to/3S6OZhs FREE Path to Purpose Guide: https://hannahhughes.myflodesk.com/pathwaytopurpose My favorite Bible studies + devotionals - HANNAHHUGHES10  for 10% off: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=300773 Connect: ⁠www.thehannahhughes.com⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thehannahhughes/⁠ https://www.instagram.com/bywordspodcast Shop my Amazon faves: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/thehannahhughes⁠

(This episode was first published in November 2022.) Today's guest is one of my personal heroes, Caryn Franklin. Caryn started her career in the 80s as a fashion editor before moving into TV where she presented, amongst other things, BBC's The Clothes Show. Always outspoken, Caryn has spent four decades being a thorn in the fashion industry's side. Championing diversity of all forms LONG before it became the cool thing to do.  She cofounded All Walks Beyond The Catwalk to promote body equality in fashion, chaired Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and was awarded an MBE for her services to fashion. Now she's written Skewed, with Professor Keon West, to examine how media bias distorts our views of others. To bring it back down to my usual level, She is also the owner of my fantasy hair! Caryn joined me by popular demand to talk 40 years of fighting for diversity, why the fashion industry is still so bloody bad at catering for older women and why clothes should be a superpower. She also shared her experiencing of being a carer to her first daughter's father in her 30s and how that changed the way she felt about ageing, how going grey nearly cost her her job and how HRT gave her her life back.  * You can buy You can buy Skewed by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West from audible.

Last year, Google invited me to come lead trainings for Aging Awareness Week. This was a truly enjoyable opportunity to work with some brilliant leaders. When I asked about who to expect in the audience, I expected to be told, “People over 55.” Instead, I was told, “This ERG is for folks over 40.”  40!  I don't think of 40 as “aging” just yet. But, I guess it is when society and culture start to stigmatize us, isn't it??   If you are a woman over 40 who is done shrinking and ready to lead with the clarity, power, and confidence that comes from your decades of wisdom, with zero apologies, this episode is for you! In this episode, I'm speaking directly to women over 40 who are ready to start leading with the full force of their lived experience. I know what it feels like to be in rooms where youth, speed, and loud voices are mistaken for leadership - but I'm here to tell you that your depth, clarity, wisdom, perspective, and emotional intelligence are exactly what's needed right now. We're not the past. We are the future of work. And, data backs this up: 42% of labor force growth in the next decade will come from people 55 and older, mostly women. Together, we'll explore how to navigate the double bind of age and gender, where you're expected to stay relevant but not be perceived as “too much.” I identify the forces at play (such as the intersectionality of ageism and sexism) and provide tools to help you reclaim your space with power and intention. You'll hear how your ability to read a room, speak with clarity, and lead for legacy, not ego, is your greatest asset. Your ability to listen deeply, ask better questions, and build meaningful collaborative (not competitive) relationships? That's the edge younger leaders are still learning. This episode is your reminder that you don't need to fight for a seat at the table—you are the table. Your leadership is expansive, rooted, sturdy, and deeply needed. So if you've been waiting for permission to own the room, this is it.
