Winter has a way of showing us the challenges we managed to avoid during the summer. January rolls in with colder temperatures, darker mornings, comfort-food cravings, and routines that suddenly feel much harder to maintain. If you've noticed your motivation dip or your consistency feel shaky, I want you to hear this clearly: It's not that you're failing. It's that winter demands a different approach. When hibernation mode kicks in, movement naturally decreases, energy feels lower, and it can start to feel like your progress is slipping away. That's exactly why I recorded this new episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast. This isn't about pushing harder or "powering through." It's about learning how to work with winter instead of fighting it.

Midlife weight gain, burnout, and metabolic changes often get mislabeled as willpower issues. This episode challenges the oversimplified weight loss narrative and unpacks why many women feel blindsided by changes even when their habits stay solid.We dive deeper into this in the Broads episode with Dr. Tyna Moore. We also chat about why GLP-1 was never meant to be a vanity weight loss tool, why microdosing doesn't mean what most people think it means, and the real risks of frailty and why strength equals long-term freedom.Dr. Tyna Moore is a Licensed Naturopathic Physician and Chiropractor with over 30 years in the medical field, specializing in holistic regenerative and metabolic medicine. She earned her degrees from the National College of Natural Medicine and the University of Western States Chiropractic College. Dr. Tyna is also the host of The Dr. Tyna Show and an international speaker.What's Discussed:(08:48) How being “early” to the GLP-1 conversation led to backlash and burnout(10:49) How GLP-1 became misused and distorted by telemedicine and influencers(15:18) Why midlife weight gain isn't about willpower but a neurological shift(16:09) The idea of functional deficiency and why modern stress breaks signaling(19:15) How GLP-1 can increase motivation to move through brain plasticity(22:20) How GLP-1 can magnify existing hormonal deficiencies in women(24:11) Why movement is essential for gut health and metabolic signaling(28:01) Why microdosing is not a true weight loss strategy(35:44) Why strength training is non-negotiable for women in midlife(39:02) The real risks of frailty, hip fractures, and loss of independenceCheck out more from Broads:Website: www.broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.appCheck out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: www.taralaferrara.comInstagram: @taralaferraraYoutube: @TaraLaferraraTiktok: @taralaferraraCheck out more from Dr. Tyna, ND, DC:Website: www.drtyna.comInstagram: @drtynaYoutube: @drtyna

Dr. Stephanie goes "holiday-solo" for the third and final time this week to discuss the growing claim that obesity is mainly genetic, with diet and exercise only accounting for 15% of results. She explains why this messaging is scientifically questionable and potentially harmful, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause who feel powerless. In this candid solo episode, Dr. Stephanie addresses the recent trend of medical professionals suggesting that GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are more effective than lifestyle interventions, and why this approach undermines women's agency. She acknowledges genetic predispositions but argues that resistance training and protein-forward nutrition should remain our primary tools for metabolic health.Episode overview:(0:00) Intro/Teaser(2:00) The Instagram Post(4:00) The Role of Neurochemicals in Obesity(5:00) Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Quality(6:00) Hormonal Changes in Midlife(7:00) Critique of Genetic Determinism in Obesity(12:00) The Importance of Diet and Exercise(19:00) Teaching Healthy Habits to Children(21:00) Final Thoughts and Action StepsResources mentioned in this episode can be found at https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep450/We couldn't do it without our sponsors:PIQUE - Designed to deeply hydrate, enhance skin elasticity & firmness and support sustained energy—exactly what we need during this stage of life.

Do you feel like midlife has brought a whole new set of "giants" you never asked for—belly fat, hormone imbalance, low energy, and a mind that keeps telling you nothing will work anymore? In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm sharing a message straight from my own heart—and straight from Scripture. We're talking about the story of Caleb and Joshua… and why their perspective matters so much for your midlife weight loss journey. Because here's the truth: every season has giants. In midlife, those giants often look like stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, inconsistent motivation, and a mindset that whispers, "This is just how it is now." But that doesn't have to be your report. This episode will help you see how mindset—not willpower—is often the missing piece when you're trying to lose weight in this season. We'll talk about how to acknowledge real challenges without letting them define your future, and how to shift from the defeat report to the report of the Lord—one grounded in strength, hope, and steady consistency. If you're tired of fighting your body and ready for a wiser, more supported approach to midlife health, this episode will encourage you deeply.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way in January! --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post:

The holidays are here, and while they are meant to be a time of joy and connection, they often bring along digital distraction, fear of overeating, and anxiety about the impending New Year.In this short and sweet episode, Andrés Preschel breaks down the three most important themes for navigating the holiday season intentionally. You'll learn how to optimize your physiology to enjoy family meals without the guilt, how to create a digital barrier to ensure you are truly present with your loved ones, and exactly how to execute a "Past Year Review" to set yourself up for massive success in the year ahead.Discover your science, optimize your life, and enjoy your holidays.In This Episode, You'll Learn:1. The Gift of Presence (Digital Detox Strategies)Why you should delete social media for the last week of the year (less than 2% of your life!).How to use "intervention" tools to break the dopamine loop and stop doom-scrolling.Tools mentioned: The One Sec app and Shift technology.2. Preventing Holiday Weight Gain (Without Dieting)How to enjoy potlucks and home-cooked meals without "dieting" or counting calories.The Pre-Meal Protein Primer: Consuming 20-30g of lean protein (Greek yogurt, whey, lean beef) 30–60 minutes before a meal to suppress Ghrelin and boost GLP-1 (satiety).Fiber & Bitters: Why eating handfuls of dark leafy greens (arugula, spinach) before your meal slows gastric emptying and reduces glucose spikes.Food Sequencing: The correct order to eat your food to manage insulin response (Fiber/Protein first, Carbs last).The Postprandial Stroll: How a 10–15 minute walk after dinner pulls glucose into the muscles without insulin.3. The "Past Year Review" (Strategic Planning)Why New Year's Resolutions often fail and what to do instead.A step-by-step guide to Tim Ferriss's Past Year Review exercise.How to use the 80/20 rule (Pareto's Law) to identify the people and activities that bring you peak joy—and how to schedule them immediately.Creating a "Not-To-Do" list to eliminate the negative triggers from your life.

Midlife weight gain can feel like a mystery—one day, everything works, the next, nothing does. You're eating less, staying active, maybe even doubling down on healthy habits, but your body just isn't responding. In Episode 251: Why your metabolism isn't the main villain in midlife weight gain, I dig into a hard truth most women haven't been told: the weight gain, fatigue, and body changes you're feeling aren't just about a slower metabolism. Yes, metabolism plays a role. But it's not the whole story—and believing it is may be exactly what's keeping you stuck. What if the real issue is something more profound? Something that's been quietly working against you—even though you've been showing up, staying active, and trying your best? This episode unpacks the three hidden shifts that most women overlook in midlife, and why fixing the wrong problem can keep you spinning your wheels. You'll walk away with clarity—and permission—to do things differently. If you're exhausted from pushing harder with no results, this conversation is your turning point. It's time to stop blaming your body and start working with it, not against it. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Maybe you're turning down hikes or struggling to keep up with your grandkids. Maybe your energy is low, and your body feels unfamiliar—like it's working against you. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Today's episode is here to help you breathe a little easier. If the scale has shifted or your clothes feel different after the holidays, it can bring up worry or pressure. But your body responds to changes in sleep, stress, meals, travel, and routines, and that response is normal. This episode gives you five simple reminders that bring everything back into perspective so you can move into your week feeling calm, supported, and confident again. Inside this episode, you will learn: • Why most weight fluctuations are water, not fat • How many calories it actually takes to gain one pound of body fat • Why one meal or weekend cannot undo months of consistency • How hormones, digestion, sodium, soreness, and sleep impact the scale • Why your body naturally settles again when your routines return • The habits that help your body feel steady and supported If you want a routine that helps you stay consistent without all-or-nothing thinking, the Movement With Julie app gives you balanced, structured workouts you can follow week after week without guesswork. And if you want to learn how to fuel your body in a way that feels sustainable and supportive, Macro Counting Made Simple walks you through the exact approach I teach to help you feel confident with your nutrition.

In this episode, Dr. Bill Campbell returns to the show to discuss a major pivot in his research from building muscle and optimizing fat loss to understanding menopause and its effects on women's body composition. After watching his wife struggle through a severe perimenopause transition that resisted every traditional fat loss strategy, Campbell uncovered a massive blind spot in the scientific literature: almost no research exists on fit, resistance trained women going through menopause. His public comments sparked hundreds of messages from women describing the same struggles including unexplained weight gain, muscle loss, energy crashes, and sleep disruption highlighting how poorly understood this phase of life truly is. Dr. Campbell breaks down what the best research does show. Menopause accelerates fat gain, shifts fat distribution toward the midsection, and produces measurable declines in muscle and bone mineral density. Many women experience weight loss resistance where standard diet and training approaches no longer produce results. He also digs into the nuance of hormone replacement therapy how progesterone and estrogen can dramatically improve sleep, anxiety, and energy, why estrogen appears anabolic for middle aged women, and why HRT's effect on body fat varies widely. Campbell clarifies the long standing confusion created by the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study, how its flawed interpretation suppressed HRT use for two decades, and why today's evidence supports earlier intervention under an evidence based physician. The conversation closes with clear, practical guidance for women entering perimenopause. Maintain a consistent fitness lifestyle, lift weights to protect muscle and bone, prioritize sleep, get annual bloodwork and DEXA scans, and consider HRT early if medically appropriate. Campbell emphasizes that lifestyle habits do not replace hormone therapy and hormone therapy does not replace lifestyle. Together they help women navigate the most dramatic physiological transition since puberty. Whether you're a coach, practitioner, or someone approaching this stage of life, this episode provides a much needed framework for understanding, preparing for, and managing menopause with strength and agency.

Quick and dirty, Luis outlines the science between insulin and fat storage. It's not the least amount of calories that is the golden ticket, instead, it's the least amount of glucose spike. He teaches us which foods, and the ideal combination of those foods, that results in the least amount of glucose release, so that the body goes into fat burning mode instead of fat storage mode. An important factor in the equation is addressing emotions and unmet needs that drive food cravings so we can learn to meet our own needs rather than bypassing them with foods that either depresses or stimulate our bodies. So grab a snack and be ready to take notes, this little gem is jam packed with info. You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/weight-and-trauma You can read more about, and register for, the Embodied Masculinity group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-mens-group----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices.

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this solo episode, I'm sharing a New Research: What Actually Builds Muscle and What Doesn'tI walk through what actually drives hypertrophy, why effort and technique beat fancy strategies every time, and why things like the pump, soreness, or even hormonal spikes aren't as important as we once thought. I also get into what recovery really means, why consistency matters more than perfection, and the rep ranges I've come to believe work best for long-term muscle gain especially if you're training hard but not seeing results.If you've been second-guessing your program or feel like you're doing “all the right things” but not progressing, this episode will help clarify what matters most (and what probably doesn't).Let's talk about:IntroductionMechanical tensionHormonal Spikes, Pump, and SorenessSarcoplasmic vs. Myofibrillar HypertrophyProgressive overloadRecoveryStaying consistent long-termFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: @jeffhoehn_FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0 HERENutrition Periodization Masterclass: HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HERE

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions about BMI cutoffs, weight cycling, metabolic adaptation, trauma, GLP-1 differences, and why some people gain weight on ultra-low calories. Dr. Cooper explains what's really happening inside the metabolic system and why individualized treatment—not dieting—creates sustainable change.Key Questions AnsweredIf my BMI doesn't “qualify” for GLP-1s, is Naltrexone + Bupropion helpful—and what labs matter first?Does being overweight always indicate metabolic dysfunction, and why are U.S. rates so high?If diets damage metabolism, what do you do when you're already 80 pounds overweight?How long does it take for leptin and ghrelin to stabilize with mechanical eating?How can someone gain weight on 1,200 calories/day?After sleeve gastrectomy, how do you eat enough while on a GLP-1?Is set point theory real—and how does the melanocortin pathway influence it?If obesity runs in my family, will I need meds like Zepbound for life?How do trauma and stress alter long-term metabolic health?Can GLP-1s offset weight gain from steroids, mood meds, or hormones?Why might Ozempic work well while Mounjaro causes weight gain?Key Takeaways1. BMI rules don't reflect metabolic truth.A mid-20s BMI can still mask significant dysfunction, especially with weight cycling.2. Weight cycling is metabolically stressful.Repeated losses/regains increase visceral fat, insulin abnormalities, and cardiovascular risk.3. Obesity is a multi-hormonal disease.Most people need pharmacology plus sleep, fueling, and movement—not restrictive dieting.4. Metabolic adaptation is powerful.Under-fueling lowers thyroid output, suppresses fat-burning, and slows metabolism dramatically.5. After bariatric surgery or on GLP-1s, frequency matters.Frequent, nutrient-dense snacks protect muscle, metabolism, and energy.6. Set point changes with better signaling.GLP-1s and related therapies help the brain accurately detect weight and lower the defended level.7. Genetics often mean lifelong support.Family patterns of obesity usually indicate long-term need for metabolic medication.8. Trauma amplifies metabolic risk.Childhood trauma disrupts IGF-1, sleep, stress hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin.9. Medications can cause weight gain—GLP-1s can help counteract it.Steroids, mood meds, hormonal agents, and more can be metabolically unfriendly.10. “Newer” isn't always better.Some people respond poorly to the GIP component in Mounjaro/Zepbound. Individual physiology rules.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest deeper evaluation: DEXA, visceral fat, fasting insulin/glucose, leptin, reproductive hormones.Stop restrictive dieting permanently—mechanical eating protects metabolic stability.Work with a fueling-focused dietitian (often ED-trained).Review your medication list for drugs known to cause weight gain.Don't switch GLP-1s or chase higher doses if your current regimen works.Notable Quote“Obesity isn't a willpower problem. It's a metabolic disease, and when the underlying system is supported, the body finally has permission to change.” — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

In midlife, I see TONS of women who are “doing all the right things”—eating clean, exercising harder, even restricting more—yet still are seeing the scale creep up. That's why I've invited Sarah Kennedy on the podcast, who's the founder and CEO of Calocurb– a natural, non-prescription hunger control treatment option.  We're unpacking why hunger can feel louder and more relentless than ever for women in midlife. Sarah breaks down how shifting hormones, chronic stress, poor sleep, and dwindling bandwidth all fuel food noise, cravings, and that constant tug-of-war with your appetite.  You'll learn why willpower is not the problem—and why your biology deserves more compassion… not more restriction.  Most importantly, Sarah shares practical, science-backed ways to calm midlife cravings and support your changing metabolism with more ease.

So the brain is telling you to go out and look for food, and your body thinks you are going into a famine. So it's upping and upping and upping… this is why 99% of diets fail.” “I've been on it 6-7 years now. I don't take it twice a day, only take it once. But I can honestly say to you, I'm at peace with food… I think many, many people will find that.” “This has been revolutionary in the fact that we now understand what is happening in our body and what is driving this hunger and craving.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Calocurb: USE CODE DRMARIZA for 10% off your purchase! https://www.calocurb.com/drmarizasnyder Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Calcurb on Facebook Calocurb on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  #621: The Truth About Metabolic Health, Hormones and GLP-1s with Tyna Moore #558: The Science Behind Ozempic and Important Facts About GLP-1 Agonists + Hormone Replacement For Women 40+ with Dr. Tyna Moore #613: Effective Tools for Curbing Your Appetite in Midlife and Optimizing Your Blood Sugar with Nagina Sethi Abdullah #601: The Food You Eat Will Impact Your Menopause Journey + Foods to Ease Menopause and Promote Longevity with Dr. Federica Amati 696: Why Diets Stop Working in Midlife—and What Actually Helps Instead with Lara Frendjian

Are you tired of letting fears—big or small—shape how you live and see yourself? In this powerful wrap-up to our "Fear Free Fall" series, Heather Creekmore tackles one of the most common (and sneaky) fears: the fear of gaining weight. But that's just the beginning. This episode goes deep, unearthing all the little day-to-day worries that seem so normal… until you realize they’re holding you back. Heather asks tough questions: Where do our fears about weight really come from? Are our fears about gainign weight about health…or worth? What does the Bible actually teach about bodies, value, and holiness—and are we prioritizing “taking care of our temple” over what God specifically asks of us? Heather shares surprising biblical truths, eye-opening cultural stories, and practical steps to trade fear for faith—even if your fear is “just how I am.” Whether you find yourself obsessing over the scale, or caught in smaller worries that never seem to quit, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and actionable advice. Don't miss Heather’s candid encouragement and the very real invitation to find freedom, trust, and joyful expectancy… starting today.

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B opens with a candid breakdown of how the recent government shutdown has thrown travel into chaos—from delayed flights to system failures—setting the stage for a conversation rooted in both humor and frustration [00:00 Government Shutdown and Travel Chaos]. She shares her own travel nightmare, using the experience to highlight how political decisions trickle down to everyday inconveniences, especially for frequent travelers. The episode transitions into the delicate territory of weight gain in relationships, where Mandii discusses how partners often struggle with honesty, sensitivity, and boundaries when broaching the topic [18:29 Navigating Weight Conversations in Relationships]. She unpacks the emotional complexity behind body changes, emphasizing communication over criticism and the importance of approaching loved ones with empathy rather than judgment. As the conversation deepens, Mandii explores family dynamics during the holidays, especially for queer individuals navigating acceptance, identity, and the pressure of returning home to families who may not fully understand or respect their experiences [29:14 Family Dynamics and Queer Identity During Holidays]. She reflects on the emotional labor that marginalized people often carry during these gatherings and encourages listeners to honor their own comfort and boundaries. The episode concludes with a thoughtful discussion on microaggressions and diversity in the workplace, where Mandii breaks down the subtle biases that marginalized employees encounter and how companies frequently fall short in fostering truly inclusive environments [36:40 Microaggressions and Workplace Diversity Issues]. She stresses the need for accountability, open dialogue, and intentional change—both in corporate culture and in personal interactions. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media @jayjurden Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
