Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Do you crave chocolate almost every single day? There's a real reason for that, and it might be the same reason your magnesium isn't actually working. If we are in midlife and we have ever been told to 'just add magnesium,' this episode is for us. Because here is what almost nobody explains. There is not just one magnesium. There are seven different forms. And every form does a completely different job in our body. Most of us are taking one form. Usually the cheapest one. Usually the one that does almost nothing for the symptoms we are actually trying to fix. Then we wonder why magnesium 'is not working.' Wade Lightheart is back on the show. He is the co-founder of BiOptimizers (the company behind Masszymes), a three-time Canadian national natural bodybuilding champion, and one of the world's leading authorities on natural nutrition and supplementation. Today we walk through every single form of magnesium, what each one does in a midlife woman's body, and why one capsule with all seven became the missing piece in my own routine. This is the foundation underneath every other midlife thing we are already doing. The HRT. The protein. The lifting. The sleep work. None of it lands the way it should without this mineral in place. WE GO DEEP ON: • Why 'just add magnesium' is incomplete advice • Why midlife women are running on a magnesium deficit and do not know it • The 7 forms of magnesium and what each one actually does • Sleep, cramps, anxiety, mood, bones, energy, recovery: which form does what • Why magnesium taurate is one of the most under-discussed forms for women's hearts • How estrogen, cortisol, and stomach acid affect our magnesium in midlife • Why one capsule with all 7 forms (Magnesium Breakthrough) became my switch • What women feel in the first night, the first week, the first three months TIMESTAMPS • 00:00 | Why everyone is saying just add magnesium (and what nobody is explaining) • 08:00 | The 7 forms one by one (sleep, heart, muscle, energy, absorption) • 28:00 | Why one form is not enough. The Magnesium Breakthrough reveal. • 38:00 | Who this is for and how to take it • 48:00 | One thing to do this week. Close.

For decades, women with low bone density were told to take it easy; Professor Belinda Beck's research proved the opposite: high-intensity resistance and impact training safely rebuilds bone, even in women who had been told their bones were too fragile to lift heavy. Belinda covers the full arc of bone health, from how peak bone mass is set in the teenage years, to what actually happens to bone when estrogen declines through perimenopause and menopause, to why so many popular "safe" exercises, including walking, cycling, and Pilates, simply don't provide enough stimulus to protect bone. They dig into the physiology of bone remodelling, the real evidence (and lack of it) behind weighted vests, how to read a DEXA scan, and practical calcium and vitamin D guidance. Belinda also shares the story behind LIFTMOR itself, including how her research team was once considered reckless for asking postmenopausal women to lift heavy, and how those same women ended up stronger, more confident, and more independent than they'd been in decades.

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Did you know you swallow about six cups of your own saliva every single day, and that saliva could be quietly feeding disease throughout your entire body? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Elmira Shojai and Lora Hooper, two women working at the cutting edge of something almost nobody in traditional dentistry ever talks about: your oral microbiome. I did a consult with them on my own mouth, and even though I feel amazing and have done so much work to clean up my health, my results shocked me. We go deep on why the mouth is the second largest microbiome in your body, why traditional dentistry cleans and fills without ever asking why the problem keeps coming back, and why killing every bit of bacteria with harsh mouthwash might actually be making things worse instead of better. If you've done everything right and still feel like your body is working against you, this conversation might hold the missing piece.

Episode Description: Your morning smoothie might be working against you. Your intermittent fasting routine might be dysregulating your hormones. And Botox, from a Chinese medicine perspective, is freezing the very nervous system pathways that keep your skin alive. Dr. Felice Chan is back on Heal Thy Self and this time the conversation happened outside, on a walk, in a rosemary bush. Dr. Felice is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner based in Los Angeles, and she connects dots between ancient medicine and modern biology in a way that stops you mid-sentence. This conversation covers breakfast, fasting, facial acupuncture, Botox, aging, and why everything in the body comes back to nervous system regulation and the rest and digest state. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why cold and blended foods create what Chinese medicine calls dampness in the body, how that slows metabolism and digestion, and what Dr. Felice's own smoothie habit led to after two to three months of daily use • Why most fasting research was done on men, what happens to a woman's cortisol and hormones when she skips breakfast, and the Chinese medicine case for a warm morning meal • The difference between what Botox does to the face neurologically versus what cosmetic acupuncture does, and why one freezes while the other reinvigorates Beauty from the inside out. This is what that actually looks like in practice.

310: There's so much noise in the health and wellness space that it can be hard to know what's actually worth your time. This conversation is all about cutting through that overwhelm and focusing on the habits that can have the biggest impact on your health. Dave Asprey and I talk about metabolism, weight loss, stress, recovery, sleep, protein, regenerative agriculture, and why doing more isn't always the answer.

What if everything you've been told about "lifting heavy" is actually setting you up to get hurt instead of getting stronger? I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Estima, doctor of chiropractic, female metabolism expert, and creator of the Betty Body Method, to pull apart the fitness advice flooding your feed and replace it with what actually works for women in midlife. We start with the "eat more protein, lift heavier" noise online and dig into why that advice, without context, is nearly useless. Stephanie breaks down exactly how you know you're lifting heavy enough (hint: it has nothing to do with a specific number of pounds), why so many of us skipped straight past the strength foundation we needed in our 20s and 30s, and how that's showing up now in injuries and frustration. This episode will change how you think about every workout, every meal, and every wellness trend you scroll past. We Go Deep On: How to actually know you're lifting heavy enough (it has nothing to do with the number on the dumbbell) Why so many midlife women skipped the strength foundation they needed decades ago The Trendelenburg test and why 85-90% of back pain patients have weak glutes The direct link between glute strength and chronic low back pain My own disc rupture and disc replacement story, and what rebuilt my lower body Progressive overload without the injury risk, including rest periods that actually work VO2 max training and why cardio still matters after 40 Weighted vests, vibration plates, and step counts: what the research actually says Why "toning" isn't a real physiological process Rethinking protein without obsessive tracking An honest take on GLP-1 medications and what most protocols are missing Stephanie's simple, non-negotiable supplement list Why the fear of carbs (and honestly, fear of everything but protein) has gotten out of hand Letting go of "skinny" as the goal and redefining what a healthy body actually looks like Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube Learn More About Dr. Stephanie Estima Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/dr.stephanie.estima Website ➜ https://drstephanieestima.com/ Book ➜ The Betty Body: A Geeky Goddess' Guide to Intuitive Eating, Balanced Hormones, and Transformative Sex https://amzn.to/45CNOg5 Thank you to our show sponsors: TIMELINE:Timeline is offering 20% off your order!

If your container can only hold 60 watts of energy, that is all you are getting. No strategy, no opportunity, no amount of hustle changes that. What changes it is expanding the vessel itself. David Ghiyam is a Kabbalah teacher and spiritual coach who has spent 25 years working with people at the intersection of consciousness, abundance, and transformation. This is one of the most expansive conversations Heal Thy Self has ever had. It moves from money ceilings and competing belief systems to anxiety as a message from your highest destiny, to darkness as excess light, to the energetic pipes of mother and father that govern healing and abundance. It goes places most podcasts never go and it earns every minute of it. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why the ceiling you keep hitting with money, love, or opportunity has nothing to do with the outside world, and why fixing your circumstances without expanding your spiritual vessel is fighting a shadow instead of the seed • What competing belief systems are and how a hidden belief you are completely unaware of can quietly sabotage every goal your conscious mind is working toward • Why anxiety is not a problem to solve but a signal that your higher destiny is trying to come in and cannot, and what it actually takes to open the channel This one will stay with you.

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Is adrenal fatigue even real, or have we all been chasing the wrong diagnosis? I sat down with Dr. Allan Bacon, a dentist turned nutrition and powerlifting coach who has built his career sitting in the middle ground between conventional medicine and the wellness world, calling out both sides when the science says they've gotten it wrong. And one of the most eye opening parts of this conversation was about adrenal fatigue, a term so many of us have used to describe our own exhaustion. Dr. Bacon walked me through why it isn't actually a recognized medical diagnosis, what's really going on in our bodies when we feel that drained, and why the label matters so much for finding something that actually helps. We also get into the placebo effect, the truth about peptides like BPC-157, and what the research really says about our metabolism in midlife. We Go Deep On: Why "adrenal fatigue" isn't an actual medical diagnosis, and what it means that our adrenals are usually functioning just fine The real reason we feel that drained, and why "stress and burnout" is a more accurate description than adrenal fatigue What actually helps when we're running on empty, including specific, research backed options like glycine and magnesium Why the placebo effect showed up as a 22 pound strength jump in trained powerlifters, and what that means for how we think about our own bodies What the research does and doesn't say about BPC-157 and peptides A landmark study showing metabolism doesn't actually change from age 20 to 60, and what that means for the way we've been told to think about midlife Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube Learn More About Dr. Allan Bacon Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drallanbacon Website ➜ https://mauiathletics.com/ Thank you to our show sponsors: TIMELINE: Timeline is offering 20% off your order of Mitopure!

In this episode, I sit down with nervous system expert Jonny Miller to explore how emotional regulation shapes our relationships, health, parenting, and overall well being. Jonny shares the deeply personal story that led him into this work after the loss of his fiancée, and explains why avoiding emotions often creates more suffering than allowing yourself to feel them. Together, we discuss emotional debt, grief, somatic awareness, breathwork, nervous system regulation, parenting under stress, and practical tools for building resilience. You'll learn why emotions are meant to move through the body, how to recognize signs of dysregulation, and simple practices that can help you respond with more calm, presence, and connection. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Before menopause, our risk of heart disease is HALF what a man's is. Within a few years of our last period, it is EQUAL. By our seventies, it is HIGHER. So why is nobody screening us for it? This is the conversation midlife women have been waiting for. I sat down with Dr. Jayne Morgan, a research cardiologist and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart, who is calling out menopause itself as the most missed opportunity in preventive cardiology. She is the creator of the Stairwell Chronicles, a science communicator who translates complex cardiology into kitchen-table language, and she has spent 25+ years researching what is actually happening to our hearts in midlife. This is our fourth cardiologist on the show. And she is different. She brings the research, the data, and a fierce honesty about why our healthcare system was built around the male body, and what we do about it now. WE GO DEEP ON: • Why menopause is a CARDIOVASCULAR event, not a gynecologic footnote • The half / equal / greater stat that every midlife woman needs to memorize • The 37-minute delay women face in the ER for cardiac care, and the exact phrase that gets you seen • Why hot flashes, night sweats, palpitations, and brain fog are cardiovascular signals, not just inconveniences • What estrogen actually does for your heart and what happens when it drops, and the 10-year HRT window • Her take on statins, the online backlash, and what the research actually says about LDL • What to do if you tried a statin and felt terrible — • Why it is LDL AND insulin resistance AND inflammation — not one versus the other • The labs to demand: ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, fasting insulin, CAC scan • Why women were excluded from cardiovascular clinical trials until 1993, and how that built the entire field on the wrong data • The exact advocacy phrase that gets your concern documented in your chart • Three things you can do this week that actually move the needle This is not a doom episode. This is the conversation you bring to your doctor tomorrow. TIMESTAMPS: • 00:00 — Why menopause is a cardiovascular event • 12:00 — The symptoms women miss and the 37-minute ER delay • 26:00 — Estrogen, HRT and the 10-year window • 42:00 — LDL, cholesterol and the statin debate • 54:00 — What to test, what to track, what to demand • 66:00 — Health equity and self-advocacy • 76:00 — Three things this week Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube Learn More About Dr. Jayne Morgan Instagram ➜ http://www.instagram.com/drjaynemorgan Website ➜ https://drjaynemorgan.com/ Hello Heart➜ https://www.helloheart.com/ Thank you to our show sponsors: LEELA QUANTUM: Get 10% off your first Leela Quantum order with the code NatalieJill at checkout at https://midlifeconversations.com/leela TIMELINE: Timeline is offering 20% off your order of Mitopure!

Episode Description: You have been running from yourself for a very long time. The restlessness, the worry, the relationships that keep ending the same way, the money that never feels like enough. None of that is who you actually are. It is what you learned. Danny Morel is back on Heal Thy Self for the second time, and this conversation goes deeper than the first. Danny had the picture perfect life. The money, the business, the house, the marriage, the admiration. And he was completely disconnected from himself. It took an affair, a divorce, the death of his mother, and a moment on a run reading Eckhart Tolle for everything to crack open. What came through that crack changed everything. This is that story, and the wisdom that came out of it. In this episode, you'll discover: • The difference between victim consciousness and creator consciousness, why the shift from one to the other is the thing human beings are most afraid of, and why every relationship, money problem, and health struggle you keep recreating is pointing at something inside you • How to tell the difference between true soul intuition and fear masquerading as gut feeling, and why the only way to access that distinction is through silence and direct relationship with the divine • Why your partner is a mirror, your bank account is a mirror, and why wanting to fix the reflection without doing the inner work is the single most common way people stay stuck This is the work that makes all the other work possible.

As a mom of three boys, one of the questions I think about most is: how do we raise healthy, resilient kids in a world that feels increasingly complicated? In this special compilation episode, I'm revisiting some of my favorite conversations about parenting, emotional health, food, independence, and resilience. These discussions have shaped the way I approach motherhood and have given me practical tools that I come back to again and again. You'll hear from Dr. Lauren Hartman on helping kids develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, Devon Kuntzman on understanding toddler behavior and responding with connection instead of reaction, Lenore Skenazy on why independence is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children, and Nicole Runyon on setting boundaries that foster confidence, resilience, and emotional strength. No matter what stage of parenting you're in, I hope these conversations remind you that raising healthy kids isn't about perfection, it's about showing up with consistency, presence, and trust. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
What if the supplements you've been taking to feel better are actually the reason you feel worse? That's exactly what happened to me, and it sent me down a rabbit hole that led to one of the most important conversations I've had about my own health. Today I'm sitting down with my close friend and personal doctor, Dr. Sabrina Solt, a regenerative medicine physician and peptide expert who has been in this field for over a decade. We start with the question that started everything for me: why was I wired at 3am, crashing every afternoon, and reacting to the exact supplements I thought were helping? Dr. Solt breaks down the cortisol-prolactin connection that most doctors never test for, explains why elevated cholesterol in midlife women is often a protective response rather than a red flag, and walks us through the inflammation markers that actually tell the full story of what's happening inside the body. Then we go deep on what she calls the upstream-downstream problem, the real reason why things like methylated B vitamins, NAD drips, and glutathione pushes can backfire so badly in certain women, and what to do instead. She explains the genetic piece around MTHFR and COMT variations, why "more" is rarely the answer, and what supporting downstream clearance actually looks like in practice. From there, we get into peptides. Dr. Solt gives a grounded, clinical breakdown of BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, the copper peptide GHKCU, growth hormone releasing peptides, and the serious cautions around GLP microdosing gone wrong. She also shares her vision for what medicine could look like if doctors were equally fluent in peptides and pharmaceuticals. This is the conversation I've been wanting to bring to you for a long time. Dr. Sabrina Solt is one of the most precise and brilliant minds I know, and she does not hold back.

If you're dealing with foot pain, balance issues, knee discomfort, or aches that seem to appear out of nowhere, your footwear may be playing a bigger role than you think. Modern shoes can change the way your feet function and why strong, mobile feet are essential for staying active and independent as you age. You'll discover practical strategies to improve foot strength, support better movement, and make smarter footwear choices without giving up comfort. By the end, you may never look at your favorite pair the same way again—and you'll know exactly how to tell if they're among the shoes ruining your foot health. My Guest: Mark Sisson has been shaking up the world of health and fitness for over twenty years. He ignited the ancestral health movement in 2006 with his wildly successful blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and his best-selling book The Primal Blueprint. He helped popularize the ketogenic diet and the concept of intermittent fasting with his New York Times best-selling books, The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day. He gave millions of health-minded grocery shoppers access to healthier sauces and dressings with his Primal Kitchen Food company. He sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200MM. And now he wants to change the way the world walks with his latest venture, a shoe company called Peluva and his latest book Born to Walk. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did your journey from health entrepreneur to footwear innovator begin? Is it better to start walking in cushioned shoes or transition directly to minimalist footwear? What happens to your feet when you switch from traditional shoes to Peluva shoes? Why is the big toe considered one of the most important joints for movement, strength, and longevity? If you're overweight, out of shape, or new to exercise, what type of footwear should you start walking in? Are we seeing a shift toward healthier footwear choices for children and future generations? If you could go back to your athletic prime, how might stronger foot health have changed your future as an athlete? Do you miss distance running, and has your perspective on exercise changed with age? Is minimalist footwear right for everyone, and who benefits most from it?

And this conversation goes a lot deeper than seeing clearly. Dr. Bryce Applebaum is a functional neuro optometrist who rewires the connection between the eyes and the brain. Vision is not the same as eyesight. Eyesight is how you focus light. Vision is how your brain tells your eyes to move, converge, track, and make sense of the world. And in 2026, with the average adult spending over seven hours a day on screens, that system is under more stress than it has ever been. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your prescription should not get stronger every year as an adult, and why a worsening prescription is a sign your brain is adapting to stress, not a normal part of aging • The connection between functional vision problems and ADHD, including why convergence insufficiency and eye turns are diagnosed far more often in kids labeled with ADHD, and how vision training has gotten patients off medication entirely • Why blue light blocking glasses are not enough, what is actually causing your brain fog and eye fatigue after hours on a screen, and the overnight contact lenses that reshape your cornea while you sleep Plus the foods that protect your eyes, the foods that accelerate macular degeneration, and why vision belongs at the top of your list if you are dealing with brain fog.

The Forever Young Documentary takes you behind the scenes of longevity — but with a perspective most people are missing. What really matters when it comes to aging well, from healthspan and biomarkers to connection, purpose, and the surprising science of loneliness? How to actually age with energy, strength, and independence? Is the hype around longevity real? After interviewing top longevity experts around the world, David Donnelly's experience completely changed the way he approaches his own health and future. Forever Young Documentary is more than a film about living longer; it's a powerful reminder to live better now. My Guest: David Donnelly is an American documentary filmmaker whose work spans classical music, culture, and technology. His award-winning debut feature, Maestro, profiled leading artists including Paavo Järvi, Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn, and Lang Lang, and was broadcast internationally. Donnelly's films have screened at venues including the Whitney Museum and the Kennedy Center. In 2021, he co-founded CultureNet and began a documentary trilogy exploring technology's cultural impact, including The Cost of Convenience and Forever Young. He is also a sought-after speaker who has interviewed global thought leaders across more than 30 countries. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:11:09] What do people actually mean when they say they're afraid of aging? [00:14:50] What does longevity science get right, and where might pop culture and social media get it wrong? [00:18:28] Where do isolation and loneliness fit into the longevity conversation? [00:24:17] What's the difference between fear of dying and fear of death itself? Is there science that helps us understand whether fear of dying alone is different from fear of death? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

Esther Blum, integrative dietitian and menopause expert, unpacks the estrogen supply chain crisis, leaving women without basic hormone care, while there are 25 erectile dysfunction medications on the market with zero shortages. But the conversation goes deeper: if your gut and liver detox pathways aren't functioning first, HRT may not work the way you're hoping. Esther breaks down the gut-liver-hormone axis, explains why 70% of women aren't detoxing their hormones properly, and makes the case for eating more — not less — in midlife. Plus: testosterone as the missing menopause hormone, why carbs at dinner might be the key to sleeping through the night, and why the zero F's era is the best-kept secret of menopause.
Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Facelifts are having a MOMENT. Kris Jenner. Denise Richards. Suddenly every woman over 50 is asking the question out loud: is this what it takes now? Do I need a facelift? Is there a natural alternative that actually works? Facial plastic surgery jumped 19% in 2025. Forty-five percent of surgeons say menopause is what is driving it. Which means somebody needs to be telling us the REAL story, not the marketing one. This episode is with Dr. Anthony Youn, board-certified plastic surgeon known as America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon. He is the most-followed plastic surgeon on the internet with 13 million+ across TikTok and YouTube. He is the author of four bestsellers including Younger For Life and he hosts The Doctor Youn Show. Here is why he is different. He is a surgeon who tells women to AUTOJUVENATE before you operate. Skincare. Supplements. Collagen. Red light. Nutrition. Hormones. THEN, and only then, do we talk procedures. This is the honest midlife conversation about what works, what doesn't, and what is marketing. WE GO DEEP ON Why facelifts have gone mainstream and the Kris Jenner / Denise Richards effect SMAS vs. deep plane vs. ponytail lift, explained in plain English The natural stack that actually works BEFORE surgery (the autojuvenation method) When it IS actually time to consider surgery, and when to wait The simple 6-product skincare routine for every midlife woman Clean skincare: what is real, what is marketing fear Sunscreen truth: mineral vs. chemical, and the brands he actually recommends Collagen supplements: the research, the dose, what to look for on the label Red light therapy: does it actually work, and the masks worth the money Botox honestly: the 2025 CDC counterfeit warning and how to stay safe Filler, pillow face, and why we are in the anti-filler era BBL danger: the deadliest cosmetic surgery and how to lower the risk The ONE thing every midlife woman should do this week This is not a product pitch. This is the conversation that gives you control. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Facelifts have gone mainstream 18:00 — Simple skincare that actually works 32:00 — Collagen, red light, and what the research says 45:00 — Botox and filler, the honest truth 58:00 — BBL, autojuvenation, and the ONE thing this week Learn More About Dr. Anthony Youn Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/tonyyounmd Website ➜ http://dryoun.com Podcast ➜ The Doctor Youn Show Thank you to our show sponsors: TIMELINE: Timeline is offering 20% off your order of Mitopure!

Sadia Khan, relationship coach and author of The Red Flags, joins Aaron Alexander for a conversation on modern dating, attraction, cheating, boundaries, self-esteem, casual sex, monogamy, and relationship dynamics.

What if the reason so many of us feel exhausted, disconnected, and unfulfilled isn't because we're failing… but because we've been taught to live in the wrong mindset entirely? In this conversation, I sat down with Stanford professors and Designing Your Life authors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans to unpack why modern life keeps us trapped in the “transactional world” and how to reconnect with meaning, presence, flow, and joy. We talk about burnout, motherhood, social media, AI anxiety, loneliness, relationships, and the simple mindset shifts that can completely change the way you experience your life. → Leave Us A Voice Message! Topics Discussed: → Why do successful people feel empty? → How do you enter a flow state? → What creates meaning in everyday life? → Why are people more lonely today? → How do you stop living reactively?

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Your mouth has over 700 species of bacteria living inside it right now. And the balance of those bacteria is directly driving whether you have brain fog, bleeding gums, heart disease, or Alzheimer's. Nobody told us this. And nobody told us that in menopause, EVERYTHING about our mouth changes. Saliva drops. Gums get sensitive. Bone density falls. And the antibacterial mouthwash we have been using for 20 years? It might be making it worse. This episode is with Dr. Sanda Moldovan, an award-winning periodontist AND board-certified nutritionist, founder of Orasana, and author of Heal Up. She has spent two decades studying the oral microbiome and she is one of the most respected oral health experts in the country. She walks us through the THREE simple things we can do tonight to reset our oral biome. None of them are expensive. None of them are complicated. And the science is on her side. WE GO DEEP ON Why the mouth is the gateway to your whole body (heart, brain, joints, gut) The menopause mouth: why estrogen drops change your gums, saliva, and oral microbiome The 3 simple things to do tonight: electric brush, water floss, oral probiotic before bed Tongue scraping: 60% of your oral bacteria lives on your tongue Oil pulling: does it actually work, and the safety warning nobody mentions The mouthwash myth: how antibacterial rinses can raise your blood pressure The nitric oxide connection your dentist never told you about The labs to ask for: OralDNA salivary testing The red flags every midlife woman should stop ignoring 3 simple things you can start tonight that actually move the needle This is not a doom episode.

Because it was never just about how much you eat. It's about where that fiber is actually fermenting in your colon. Dr. Karan Rajan is a surgeon, gut health expert, and one of the most followed doctors on the internet. He spent years operating on colon cancers and bowel disease before realizing the most powerful thing he could do was hand people the information they were never given. In this conversation he breaks down the gut in a way that will make you want to reorganize your entire kitchen by the time it's over. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why the old soluble vs insoluble fiber model is outdated and what fermentation geography actually means — and how eating only one type of fiber can cause gas and bloating even when you're hitting your daily target • Why the protein obsession sweeping wellness culture may be quietly turning your gut bacteria into gremlins, and what happens when your microbes run out of fiber to eat • How your microbiome can begin to change within 48 hours of increasing fiber intake, and the exact ramp up strategy Dr. Karan uses to avoid the gas and bloating that makes most people quit If you have a gut, this episode is for you.

My Guest: Dr. Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is best selling author of The Hormone Fix and Keto-Green 16 and MenuPause. Dr. Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. She holds special certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She lectures frequently on those topics and shares the secret behind the ebb and flow of intimacy as she demystifies the fascinating hormonal changes over time. She will help you discover how the “love hormone”, Oxytocin can breathe life into your relationship, and how Cortisol can take it away - and how the delicate balancing act of those hormones can reignite your libido and support a healthy relationship, most importantly the one you have with yourself. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What exactly is the Camino de Santiago and what was your experience? What made you want to do this—and why this instead of something else? Did you have any “rules” during the journey—like not talking or staying silent? Did you have any reservations or fears about traveling and walking alone? Did you use your phone during the journey—for navigation, photos, or connection? What for you will never be the same again after this experience? What do you think is the most impactful part of this experience? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
What if the cholesterol medication your doctor insists could save your life is actually increasing your risk of the very disease it's supposed to prevent? A board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon who has personally performed over 3,000 open-heart surgeries joins us this week with a message he says most cardiologists will not say out loud: the majority of his patients should never have ended up on his table. Dr. Philip Ovadia lost nearly 100 pounds while operating on other people's hearts, reversed his own prediabetes, and spent the last decade asking a question his colleagues are not comfortable with: what is actually causing heart disease? This episode goes deep. You will learn why your LDL number tells you almost nothing meaningful without particle size testing, why statins lower the wrong kind of cholesterol, and why insulin resistance is a far bigger driver of heart events than anything showing up on a standard lipid panel. Dr. Ovadia also walks through the most important heart tests most women have never had, including the coronary artery calcium scan he calls "the mammogram for your heart," and gives his take on every medication in the conversation from statins to Zetia to Repatha. If you have ever left a cardiology appointment more confused and scared than when you walked in, this one is for you.

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
What if the belly fat, the exhaustion, and the 3 a.m. wake-ups were never about willpower or effort at all? In this episode, Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, a neuroscientist with 25 years of nutrition and cellular health research behind her, breaks down exactly what is happening inside the body during midlife and why the same habits that worked at 35 stop working at 45. Dr. Mitchell is currently the Chief Science Officer at MitoQ, a cellular health company with over $60 million in research, and she brings a level of scientific depth to this conversation that is genuinely rare. What unfolds is not the standard hormone health conversation. Dr. Mitchell explains the critical difference between the two estrogen receptor types, why visceral belly fat is actually a metabolic warning sign and not just a cosmetic frustration, and the truth behind decades of fear-mongering around soy. She also introduces a compound called S-equol that most women have never heard of, despite research showing it may outperform soy isoflavones for menopausal symptoms, joint pain, blood sugar, bone density, and brain health. The catch? Only 20 to 30 percent of Western women can produce it naturally, and the rest need to approach it differently. The conversation goes deeper into mitochondria, aging, oxidative stress, and why protecting your cellular energy production may be one of the most important things you can do in midlife. Natalie also opens up about her own experience with cortisol, soy, and the mom guilt she carried for 18 years over a decision she now knows was completely fine. This one is packed. Whether you are on HRT, avoiding it, or somewhere in the middle, there is something in this episode that will change how you understand your own body.

Our first caller is pregnant and navigating the fallout of having cheated on her husband—now she's trying to figure out if it's possible to rebuild his trust and save their relationship. Our second caller recently ended things with her long-term boyfriend, but now she's overwhelmed with regret and second-guessing her decision—did she make the right call, or did she walk away too soon? And our third caller is caught in a deeply personal crossroads: her husband, who is Catholic, wants her to convert, but she's facing the very real possibility of being disowned by her mother if she does. "What you can say to your husband is: 'I really failed us. I failed you, I failed myself." The Viall Files is going LIVE with the new cast of Temptation Island on May 4th! Tickets are on sale NOW!
