"It really isn't about food. It is about control...I wish I would have understood that a little bit earlier."With thinness back “in” and diet culture louder than ever, I sat down with Ginger Zee, ABC News chief meteorologist and climate correspondent, for an honest conversation about food, body image, mental health, and the healing that reshaped her life and career. Ginger has spent decades in the public eye and a male-dominated industry. She opens up about her journey from childhood struggles with anorexia to thriving as a leader, parent, and public figure. This episode is about resilience, hope, and what becomes possible when food and body thoughts stop running the show.What You'll Learn:How diet culture is louder than ever and what it means for us nowThe impact of family, society, and trauma on our relationship with food and bodyWhy healing your relationship with food gives you more room to live meaningfullyThe lessons Ginger learned about control, body image, and resilience through different stages of her lifeHow sharing personal stories breaks shame and reminds us that we are not aloneHow taking up space and being vulnerable as women is a powerful act of rebellion against diet cultureConnect with Ginger:X: @ginger_ZeeInstagram: @Ginger_ZeeFacebook Fan PageWebsiteGood Morning AmericaStruggling to know when to eat or when to stop isn't a failure… it could be a byproduct of following diet rules instead of your body's cues.

When you look in the mirror, what's the first story you tell yourself about your body? If you're like most midlife women, that internal dialogue is often rooted in criticism, comparison, and the relentless pressure to "fix" an aging body that was never broken in the first place.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa sits down with registered dietitian and body image coach Deb Benfield to explore how internalized ageism and diet culture keep us disconnected from our bodies—and what it takes to reclaim body trust, pleasure, and freedom in midlife and beyond.Deb Benfield, M.Ed., RDN, LDN, RYT, is a Registered Dietitian, nutrition therapist, and body image coach with 40 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. Her work sits at the intersection of anti-ageism, body liberation, and trauma-informed care—offering a radically compassionate alternative to diet and wellness culture, especially for those in midlife and beyond. After turning 60, Deb began questioning the dominant narratives around aging, vitality, and beauty, and quickly realized how many resources still centered weight loss and youthful appearance as ultimate goals. In response, she created what she couldn't find: a framework for nourishing the body that honors inner wisdom, prioritizes vitality, and embraces the full spectrum of aging. She's the author of Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body, and she offers individual and group coaching to help her clients age unapologetically—on their own terms.Highlights from our discussion include:Understanding Your Body StoryYour Body Is Your Life Partner, Not Your Life's ProjectInternalized Ageism Keeps You StuckDiet Culture Fuels Hypervigilance, Not HealthRebuilding Body Trust Through EmbodimentRedefining Intimacy and Pleasure in MidlifeGLP-1 Medications: A Complex DecisionPermission to Stop ApologizingWhat if you stopped treating your body like a problem to solve and started honoring it as the life partner it's always been?This episode is an invitation home—to your body, your pleasure, and your power. If you're ready to step off the diet culture rollercoaster and into a more compassionate, embodied way of living, Deb Benfield's Unapologetic Aging is the companion you need.CONNECT WITH DEB BENFIELD:Website: https://www.debrabenfield.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agingbodyliberation/Substack: https://substack.com/@debbenfield1CONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Go to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

#293: In this episode, we're talking about the micro habits that actually matter for PCOS in 2026… not more rules, not more restriction, and definitely not more overwhelm. If you're already eating gluten-free and dairy-free, walking, lifting, doing Pilates, and still seeing weight fluctuations, fatigue, anxiety, or burnout… this episode is for you. The missing piece for many women with PCOS isn't another habit; it's nervous system and cortisol regulation. I break down small, realistic micro habits that quietly have a massive impact on hormones, cravings, stress, and consistency. These habits aren't flashy. They won't go viral. But they're the exact foundation women with PCOS need in 2026 to lose weight sustainably, feel calmer, and stop fighting their bodies.

On today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly how much you should be eating for fat loss — and whether most women are actually not eating enough or eating too much.

“Yo-yo dieting, restrictive diets, and cutting out whole food groups is worsening insulin resistance more than carbs ever could.”Carbs have been painted as the villain for far too long, and diet culture has convinced many of us that avoiding them is the key to health and happiness.

Hi friends, and welcome to a very special episode of the podcast! If you've been with me for a while, you know this show has always been about supporting women in their health journeys. Today, I'm excited to announce a big change: our podcast is rebranding as Catholic Women's Metabolism.   This new name reflects exactly who we serve—Catholic women in their 30s and 40s navigating metabolism, hormones, and weight changes—and the evidence-based, clinically grounded education you'll hear in every episode.   You may be wondering why the change. Over the last five years, I've realized that my listeners need more than general health tips—they need science-backed information, personalized for midlife women, delivered in a way that respects Catholic teaching on the body and moral health.   So, everything you've loved about this show—honest discussion, practical insights, and compassionate guidance—remains, but now the focus is sharper: helping you understand your metabolism, your hormones, and your health through a faith-aligned and clinically informed lens.   For those who may be new here, I'm Kristen Noriega, a Registered Dietitian and Integrative & Functional Nutrition–Certified Practitioner. I've worked with hundreds of women to understand the physiology behind weight gain, fatigue, insulin resistance, thyroid function, and perimenopause, and now I get to bring that expertise to you, right here in this podcast.   This show has also been recognized as a Top 100 podcast and independently named one of the Top 15 Catholic podcasts, which is truly an honor. I'm grateful for this community of women seeking clarity and health stewardship in alignment with their faith.   Moving forward, you can expect episodes that are: •Educational and evidence-based, exploring metabolism, hormones, and weight regulation •Faith-aligned, grounded in Catholic teaching about the body as a gift to steward •Practical, with lifestyle strategies rooted in science, not extreme dieting or quick fixes.   Each episode will help you understand your body better, improve metabolic resilience, and feel confident in caring for your health in a sustainable, ethical way.   So here's what I'd love for you to do: 1. SUBSCRIBE to the newly rebranded Catholic Women's Metabolism wherever you listen to podcasts. 2. SHARE this episode with a friend or sister who might benefit from understanding their metabolism and hormones. 3. FOLLOW along on Instagram www.instagram.com/weightloss.wellmom 4. Grab this free gift that I put together for you:  (check back tomorrow!)   Thank you for being part of this community. I'm so excited for this next chapter, and I can't wait to help you understand your metabolism, steward your health, and embrace the body God gave you with confidence and clarity. Let's do this!

While ProLon is often viewed as a “fasting product,” Ashley reframes it as a nourishing technology designed to deliver the benefits of prolonged fasting—without the risks of complete food deprivation.Brad and Ashley break down what the Fast Mimicking Diet actually is: a precisely formulated 5-day program that provides real food—soups, bars, olives, teas, and healthy fats—while keeping the body in a fasting state. The conversation explores how the FMD supports autophagy, cellular cleanup, metabolic flexibility, and insulin sensitivity, while also offering muscle protection, a major concern for adults over 40.Brad shares his personal experience with water fasting, intermittent fasting, and ProLon, comparing fat loss, insulin control, ketosis depth, and autophagy. Ashley explains why ProLon is structured for five days, how autophagy ramps up around day three, and why day six refeeding with high-quality whole foods is just as critical as the fast itself.They also discuss:The role of fasting in reducing inflammation, improving lipid panels, liver health, insulin resistance, and even taste and smell sensitivityHow ProLon supports muscle preservation through targeted nutrients like glycerolWhy fasting is a positive, hormetic stress similar to exerciseThe importance of metabolic flexibility and why fasting gets easier over timeHow continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can provide personalized insight into food responsesThe growing acceptance of fasting and food-as-medicine in mainstream healthcare, including L-Nutra's recent recognition by the American Diabetes Association for improvements in A1C and medication reductionAshley also highlights additional L-Nutra products, including vegan protein shakes and bars that support muscle without triggering aging pathways, as well as one-day fasting resets for beginners.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

#291: Feeling overwhelmed by meal prep? This episode breaks down exactly how to get started with PCOS-friendly meal prepping, without the stress or spending hours in the kitchen. Why meal prepping matters for PCOS: Your body is extra sensitive to blood sugar swings and inflammatory foods. Skipping meals or under-eating spikes cortisol, which worsens insulin resistance, inflammation, and cravings. Meal prep eliminates decision fatigue and reduces the daily stress that impacts your hormones. What PCOS meal prepping looks like: Low-effort, repeatable recipes that you actually want to eat—gluten-free, dairy-free, low sugar, high protein meals following the PCOS plate method. Beginner tips: Start small with just 1–2 recipes per week (like prepping only breakfast) and choose simple, quick recipes. Ready to take meal prep to the next level? Our 4-Week Meal & Workout Plan Kit (https://pcosweightloss.org/course-enrollment/) launches January 1st! Get done-for-you meal plans, workout routines, our PCOS protein powder, a lab kit to track your progress, and so much more.
