Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, Tom dives headfirst into some of the timeliest and most controversial topics heating up the internet right now. From the persistent mysteries surrounding the Epstein files and the political whirlwind of Trump and Netanyahu, to the wilder side of AI with Grok's out-of-control responses, Tom and Producer Drew tackle it all with unfiltered honesty and signature wit. They dig deep into the “deep state” theories, the fatigue of the public with ongoing scandals, and debate whether real change is possible in a world ruled by power and attention spans. But it's not just politics and conspiracies—they shift gears to explore the explosive role of AI, its unhinged moments, and how it's impacting creativity, business, and even regulation. Plus, special insights from Eric Weinstein illuminate the concept of “managed reality,” while a viral Charlize Theron interview sparks a raw conversation about relationships, gender norms, and what fulfillment really means in our rapidly changing culture.

Extended Cardio and Low Protein Equal Short Term Weight Loss

The Flipping 50 Show

Short term weight loss sounds great BUT it's not all fat – it's muscle! Muscle will be much harder to regain as we age because of anabolic resistance..  Clothes might feel loose and you get weight loss compliments. But short term weight loss is just giving a “false positive” honeymoon period. This might mean you divorced muscle, the love of your life.   1. Muscle Mass Loss (Sarcopenia) Protein Deficiency Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle tissue. Insufficient protein intake exacerbates muscle atrophy and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Excessive Cardio Prolonged cardio can lead to a breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, particularly if glycogen stores are depleted. This can worsen age-related muscle loss and counteract maintaining strength and function. 2. Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Protein Deficiency Protein is needed for bone health and bone density. Inadequate protein intake, especially after menopause, increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis Risks After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases due to declining estrogen levels and can weaken bones prone to fracture. Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis Link Having both increases the risk of falls and fractures. Poor nutrition leads to sarcopenic obesity and increases the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Other Negative Effects Reduced Physical Function Since inadequate protein leads to muscle loss, this reduces strength, impaired balance, and decreased ability to perform daily activities. Slow-Healing Injuries Protein repairs tissues. Deficiency can slow wound healing and recovery from injuries. Weakened Immune Function Amino acids from protein build antibodies and maintain a healthy immune system. Low protein intake can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. Potential Cardiac Issues (Excessive Cardio) Associated with potential adverse cardiac effects, such as myocardial fibrosis and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, in some individuals. Musculoskeletal Injuries (Excessive Cardio) Increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis and stress fractures.   What Can You Do Instead of A Short Term Weight Loss Recommendations: Prioritize protein intake with 30 grams each meal. Balance cardio and strength training to build and maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or engaging in prolonged, strenuous exercise if it causes excessive fatigue or pain.   References:  Chucherd O, Vallibhakara O, Vallibhakara SA, Sophonsritsuk A, Chattrakulchai K, Anantaburarana M.

Today we're sharing part two of our conversation about PMS - premenstrual syndrome - and PMDD - Premenstrual dysphoria disorder. We began this exploration in episode 202, How Menstrual Cycle Awareness Can Transform PMS and PMDD, where we discussed the premenstrual phase of the cycle as a gateway to our power, and premenstrual symptoms as a truth-telling signal or a warning sign from the deepest part of ourselves about all that needs to be healed within us, and in our world. In part two we get practical and look at how menstrual cycle awareness can help you if you experience extreme pre-menstrual disturbance, through the lens of some brilliant questions and stories that the community gathered around this podcast have sent to us. They include what to do if you're in premenstrual hell right now, the most important practical actions to take that genuinely help with symptoms and why cycle-aware therapy or professional support is often essential, especially if you've experienced trauma. We explore:The three menstruality ‘medicines' which can help PMS and PMDD: cycle tracking, premenstrual power and rest at menstruation.The small, repeated acts of self-care and boundary-setting can shift everything; and we share our favourite personal examples like dealing with premenstrual rage by roaring out of the car window and smashing plates!The power of writing a love letter to yourself in your ‘good' part of the cycle. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

The protein rules in menopause change.  We've talked about protein before. But not like this.  Instead of a complicated, Smart Scale, DEXA scan-based check your numbers hard line obsession, you're going to get down-to-earth, easy to hear support for your protein rules in menopause.    My Guest: Jordan Robertson is an evidence based naturopathic doctor, and the owner of The Confident Clinician, a software built specially to help clinicians make research-backed decisions for their patients with nutrition, supplements and lifestyle medicine.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:03:19] Why do protein needs change as we age? [00:22:48] What simple ways can women use to tell if muscle mass is reducing during menopause, and when should we try to change it? [00:27:42] What happens if women don't make these changes with their muscle mass and appetite? [00:32:51] What are the best sources of protein in the diet? Your thoughts on plant vs animal protein?  [00:37:06] What is your opinion about 5-6 small meals vs 3 meals with bigger bolus?    Protein needs, especially in menopause, go up. As we age, the ability to make muscle gets harder.   Protein Needs Calculation for ideal protein intake: body weight in kg * 1.5 (if you have your weight in lbs, divide by 2.2 to convert to kg) Before: 0.8 - 1 gram of protein per kg body weight per day (based on nitrogen loss) Now: 1.2 - 1.7 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day Depends on who you are and what you need (e.g. your age, gender, lifestyle, athlete, digestive issues, protein resistance, etc.)   Let's Dive Deep Into The Protein Rules in Menopause   Muscle Mass Physical: Check if your body shape has changed, even if your weight stayed the same. Functional: Can you get off the chair without using the arms on the chair? Can you get up off the floor relatively easily? Do you find your walking speed has changed? Body Composition Scan: Many clinics will have a bioelectrical impedance analysis to look at muscle mass and body composition. Best to test the rate of chance over time (after x months, as prescribed by clinic). If you are seeing a reduction in speed, strength and power in any of your daily life activities or in the gym, then we can make an assumption that we are having some loss of muscle tissue.   Plant VS Animal Protein Have a well-balanced diet that includes plant-based protein. The addition of plant-based protein has additional health benefits which can improve our cardiovascular health.   Does Protein Timing Matter Just hit your daily protein with consistency. If 30 grams of protein per meal is difficult, you need to add one more meal. If post-workout protein helps you hit your protein target, continue. Your health journey gets more difficult if your protein timing starts to consume you and your time (e.g. spreadsheet, magnetic to your fridge, etc.).   Connect with Jordan: Instagram - @drjordannd   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), addressing common misconceptions and emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to women's health. She explores the benefits and risks of HRT, the necessity of proper dosage and safety measures, and the role of the nervous system in managing hormonal health. Ali advocates for integrating lifestyle changes with HRT to achieve optimal health outcomes for women navigating menopause and perimenopause. Takeaways HRT can be beneficial for many women, but it's not the only solution. Understanding the risks and benefits of HRT is crucial. Holistic health practices should accompany HRT for best results. Proper dosage and safety measures are essential when using HRT. The nervous system's state can significantly impact hormonal health. Women should not rush into estrogen therapy without proper evaluation. It's important to have a knowledgeable practitioner when considering HRT. Lifestyle changes can enhance the effectiveness of HRT. Women experiencing perimenopause should focus on supporting progesterone levels. HRT should be personalized based on individual health needs and conditions.

Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz You're not imagining it—strength training can make the scale go up before it goes down. In fact, 40% of midlife women say they've quit a workout routine because they didn't see results fast enough. But what if the weight gain isn't failure… it's feedback? In this week's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on 5 science-backed strategies to reverse scale creep from strength training—and turn all your efforts in the gym into visible results. In this episode, I'll answer your most-asked questions including: ✅ “Why am I gaining weight from lifting weights in perimenopause?” ✅ “Scale jumps from workouts: water retention or fat?” ✅ “Does chronic inflammation stall fat loss even with lifting?” ✅ “Can overtraining keep cortisol high and block fat loss?” ✅ “How do I reset my cortisol curve after strength workouts?” ✅ “Best post-lift routines to reduce bloating and scale spikes?” ✅ “How long until I see muscle gains instead of weight gain on the scale?” If you've been lifting weights—but you're starting to wonder if lifting is actually making things worse

Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?”   Recently, a listener asked a menopause exercise question, "I'm doing strength training three times a week for 30 minutes. Is that too much? If you have wondered, or wonder what is enough, too much or the Goldilocks for you, this is for you.   Based on a study in Ireland called Menowell (not to be confused with the bars), almost 70% of us get our information from friends and 50% get information from social media. So, beware. Even researchers right now are spending a lot of time and energy getting eyeballs and making shocking statements. Instead of merely sharing the facts, they're being as inflammatory as the influencers they claim not to be.    Quick Overview: Menopause can bring bone loss, muscle loss, metabolic changes, mood shifts & symptoms like hot flashes and sleep troubles. Promise: By the end, you'll know how to calibrate exercise for maximum benefit and minimal burnout, even if you're not experiencing any of these.    Why exercise is non-negotiable? Exercise is medicine.  Muscle is medicine and an endocrine organ.  Muscle is HRT if you allow it to be.  Like any other medicine, the right dose and timing are crucial.    How much is too little? I could answer in a very generic way: Minimum WHO/HHS guidelines:  150 min moderate aerobic + 2 strength sessions weekly  Under 150 min weekly leads to missed benefits like bone density maintenance and cardiometabolic protection   This is not a generic podcast and you're not a generic woman.  So, let's answer with the uniqueness you deserve. Whether you're exercising too little or too much your body leaves both objective and subjective data.    Red flags of Undertraining and Overtraining: Persistent fatigue Ongoing symptoms Plateau in strength/mood/weight.   More Answers to Your Menopause Exercise Questions   When exercise becomes too much: Excessive high-intensity sessions >3× weekly without recovery ups injury risk—especially for connective tissue for women in midlife.  Overtraining stress can aggravate symptoms, disturb sleep, mood, and adrenal health, appetite/cravings and libido.    Finding the sweet spot: Measure muscle and body fat (See Resources for my smart scale picks.)  Measure waist girth  Measure bone density through Dexa scan    Do-It-Yourself checklist: Track energy, sleep, mood, focus, libido, digestion, elimination (See Resources for Flipping50 Progress Tracker)  Between your objective and subjective measures, are you getting what you want?

SISTERHOOD OF SWEAT - Motivation, Inspiration, Health, Wealth, Fitness, Authenticity, Confidence and Empowerment

In this episode, Dr. Karen Brodman, a seasoned gynecologist, discusses the complexities of menopause, hormone therapy, and the importance of addressing women's health issues. She emphasizes the need for personalized care and the impact of lifestyle changes on menopause symptoms. The conversation also highlights the significance of vaginal and bladder health, as well as the positive aspects of aging and maintaining optimal health. Key Takeaways: Dr. Brodman has over 40 years of experience in gynecology. Menopause symptoms can significantly affect quality of life. Hormone therapy options include both bioidentical and synthetic hormones. Lifestyle changes play a crucial role in managing menopause symptoms. Vaginal estrogen can effectively treat vaginal dryness and bladder issues. The internet has increased awareness about menopause and women's health. Not all women will benefit from hormone therapy; individual needs vary. Healthy aging is possible with the right lifestyle choices. Women should not fear losing their femininity during menopause. Regular check-ups are essential for managing menopause-related health issues.

In this episode of essential oils for menopause hormones, I asked all the questions you ask. The purpose? To find beyond exercise and food, what can you do with essential oils to support your symptoms or simply elevate your health.  I ask about essential oils for menopause hormones – adrenal fatigue, sleep, libido, cravings and more.  Don't miss this one!    My Guest: Jodi Sternoff Cohen is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, functional practitioner and founder of Vibrant Blue Oils, where she has combined her training in nutritional therapy and aromatherapy to create unique proprietary blends of organic and wild-crafted essential oils. She has helped over 50,000 clients heal from brain related challenges, including anxiety, insomnia, and autoimmunity.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:08:06] No one is a stranger to essential oils, but can we go back to their origins?  [00:10:00] How can essential oils help a woman in menopause?  [00:16:26] What works for adrenal fatigue? [00:19:33] What if sleep is a problem?  [00:22:00] What if blood sugar and insulin resistance are?  [00:23:07] What if cravings for sweets or caffeine are an issue?  [00:28:16] How can oils help with fascia? [00:33:55] What if the energy to exercise seems to have left the building?  [00:35:07] What if headaches or migraines are a problem?  [00:37:08] What if the va va voom is nowhere to be found?  [00:38:45] Where does a newbie start?  [00:34:28] What are your favorites and why?  [00:39:00] Some are for use topically… Do they all require dilution?    Why Use Essential Oils? A powerful concentrated essence medicine, you only need a small amount. Calms, focuses and regulates moods. Targets nervous system, vagus nerve, and adrenal response. Supports cortisol balance, melatonin production, and more   The Power of Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones   The Power of Touch Skin is our largest organ, open to fat soluble remedies. Applying essential oils on a reflex point is powerful.   The Power of Smell Smell has direct access to the part of your brain known as the amygdala. Signals the brain to process certain emotions, calm the nervous system (anxiety, depression, etc.)   Uses: Adrenal Fatigue Indicators: exhaustion, needing caffeine, brain fog. Helps reset stress signals and regulate cortisol through the nervous system and hypothalamus. Topical application on the lower back in the morning or mid afternoon to give energy. Sleep Regulates the Circadian Rhythm by triggering the pineal gland to naturally release melatonin. Sleep issues: Bedtime - topical application on the top of the head, above the ears or back of the head. Waking up at 1am - smelling oils for pancreas, which releases the hormones to pull the blood sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cells. Waking up at 3am - topical application for liver and gallbladder to help sleep through the night. Cravings (sweets and caffeine) Use adrenal or circulation blends to beat afternoon crashes. Inhale or topical application on the lower back to boost alertness. Mobility Fascia health is hormone-responsive and affects posture and motion. Emotional stress can tighten fascia, impacting mobility. Applying on body part allows more range of motion Headache and Migraine Topical application on the temples and lymph node clusters (neck, base of skull, behind the ears and clavicles) to relieve pressure and move fluid. Libido Adrenal blends applied to the lower back help restore energy and hormonal balance. Parasympathetic blends send safety signals to the nervous system, reducing stress and allowing desire to return. Topical application around the belly button or inner thighs to promote circulation and stimulate libido.   Key Takeaways on Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones Oils work quickly due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and influence the nervous system. Topical and aromatic use of essential oils can support hormone health without relying on supplements or medications. Specific oils target specific problems: Adrenals → Energy, stress, blood sugar regulation Circadian → Sleep onset Pancreas → Night waking Liver/Gallbladder → 3 a.m. wakeups Circulation → Boost alertness & focus Hormonal changes affect fascia, posture, mobility, and emotional resilience. Left-nostril breathing with oils can calm anxiety by balancing brain hemispheres.   Connect with Jodi: Get your Vibrant Blue Oils here: Parasympathetic State Toolkit Instagram - @vibrantblueoils    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - What Stem Cell Therapy Taught Me About Recovery, Mindset, and Reinventing Downtime Next Episode - Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?

Is your vitamin D "deficiency" actually a misdiagnosis? In this eye-opening episode, Tara dives into one of the most misunderstood nutrients in functional medicine: vitamin D. While most practitioners rush to prescribe high doses of vitamin D based on a single lab marker (25(OH)D), Tara challenges the status quo and breaks down why this approach can be both misleading and harmful, especially for women in perimenopause.  She explains the critical difference between 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)₂D, why elevated active vitamin D (1,25) often goes unnoticed, and how it can actually suppress your vitamin D storage while driving up inflammation, calcium loss, and even contributing to autoimmune conditions and bone loss. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt confused about whether to supplement or if you've been taking vitamin D long-term without fully understanding how it works in your body. In this episode we cover: The difference between storage vs. active vitamin D (and why you must always test both but your practitioner likely hasn't) The issues with vitamin D testing that scientists are hotly debating (can you even trust your lab result?) What is the optimal reference range for vitamin D? And why ranges are terribly inflated and many are not to be trusted. What really drives down vitamin D in the body and how to come at this from a root-cause perspective instead of drowning yourself in vitamin D supplements If you're thinking about taking D, already taking D, or have been told your vitamin D is "low" (it likely isn't) then this one is for you.   Mentioned in this episode:
