You're exhausted by 2 or 3 PM. Your workouts suddenly wipe you out. Your hair is shedding, your brain feels foggy, and even climbing a flight of stairs leaves you more winded than it used to. Then you finally ask for help and hear: “Your labs are normal.” In this solo episode, Dr. Mariza breaks down one of the most commonly missed contributors to persistent fatigue in women: iron deficiency, even before anemia develops. She explains newly released American Society of Hematology ferritin thresholds and why women who were previously told their iron was “normal” may deserve a closer look. But iron is only one part of the conversation. Dr. Mariza walks through the bigger clinical picture she considers when a woman says, “I don't feel like myself anymore,” including thyroid function, mitochondrial energy production, blood sugar, sleep, nutrition, stress physiology, and HPA-axis regulation. Most importantly, she explains why fatigue is a symptom, not a diagnosis and why neither stress, aging, nor perimenopause should automatically become the explanation for everything you're experiencing. Listen now to learn what may be hiding behind your exhaustion and how to have a more productive conversation with your healthcare provider. IN THIS EPISODE Why iron deficiency can exist before you become anemic The new ferritin thresholds women should know about Why a lab's reference range and a diagnostic threshold are not always the same thing Why heavy perimenopausal periods can increase your risk of depleted iron stores The fatigue, brain fog, headaches, hair shedding, and exercise intolerance that can overlap with perimenopause How iron, thyroid hormones, nutrition, blood sugar, sleep, and recovery influence mitochondrial energy production Why “adrenal fatigue” oversimplifies what may actually be happening with the HPA axis How under-fueling, over-training, poor sleep, circadian disruption, illness, and caffeine can add to the body's total stress load The questions to ask when you know something has changed but your labs keep coming back “normal” QUOTES “You can be iron deficient before you ever become anemic.” “Two things can be true at once.” “I don't want mitochondrial dysfunction to become another vague label we give an exhausted woman.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Find inspiration, connection, and meaningful reads.

In this special 400th episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down the biggest mistakes she sees women over 40 making with their nutrition and training - and what actually works instead.  She explains why calories control your size but macros control your shape, why most women over 40 are eating half the protein they need (and the muscle loss, low energy, and mood crashes that come with it), why "toning" isn't a real training method (it's body recomposition, and it requires two specific things), and why constantly switching your workouts is keeping you stuck instead of helping you progress.

You used to be the calm one. Your rule was simple: if it will not matter in five years, it does not get more than five minutes of your energy. Now there is a low hum of anxiety that never shuts off, and someone closes a cupboard and you snap. In this episode I explain the connection between low progesterone and that on-edge feeling so many women hit in their 40s, and why it is a hormonal shift, not a personality flaw. This one hits close to home for me. I get into how progesterone acts as your brain's brake pedal, why it drops first in perimenopause while estrogen keeps going strong, and why you can still have a regular period and not ovulate. I also break down how this is different from PMDD, and why guessing at your cortisol from a Google search can send you the wrong way. If you are tired of being told to just relax more, that is your signal to look at what your hormones are actually doing. When you are ready to test instead of guess, book a call with my team.

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey calls out the one thing that's actually been missing from your fitness journey - and it's not the right program, the right diet, or the right amount of motivation.She breaks down why women over 40 keep restarting every Monday, the difference between an intention and an actual decision (most women have been confusing the two for years), and why your brain is wired to find the most reasonable exit every time things get hard. Nikkiey explains why waiting for the perfect conditions is a trap - not preparation - and why the women who transform are the ones who act while life is still messy, not the ones who wait until everything lines up.If you've been telling yourself you'll start after the holidays, after the stress passes, or when you finally feel ready - this is the episode that closes that door for good. Join Our Free WarriorBabe CommunityTake the Free Quiz - Get Your Personalized WB4 Plan Get Toned With The Macro Method + 7 Bonus Gifts  If you've got a story about how The Macro Hour Podcast has positively impacted your life, we'd love to hear from you!

Midlife belly fat is often blamed on high cortisol, but the picture may be more complicated. Long-term stress, insulin resistance, low energy availability, intense exercise, and poor recovery can all affect how the body responds to weight-loss efforts in your 40s. Pushing harder with HIIT, fasting, or calorie restriction may not always address the underlying issue. Could improving recovery and blood sugar balance change the way your body responds?

Why You Overeat at Night (And How to Stop)   You're not overeating at night because you have no willpower. In fact, what you're doing at 9 p.m. may have very little to do with the food...and everything to do with what you've been doing to yourself all day. If you spend your day saying “I shouldn't eat that,” restricting foods, negotiating with yourself, and trying to be “good,” your brain eventually gets tired of hearing NO. And that's when the pantry starts looking really damn interesting. In this episode, we're getting into why nighttime overeating happens, the connection between restriction and emotional eating, and why the answer isn't another diet or more discipline. Because what if the real goal isn't learning how to control yourself around food...but learning how to trust yourself? Press play. This one might change the way you look at that 9 p.m. cookie. If you've been listening to this episode and thinking, “I know I'm ready for something to change, but I can't spend another year dieting, starting over, and fighting with my body,” this is your moment to take action.   Our next live cohort of the Jumpstart Experience begins in just a couple of days on September 28th, and enrollment is officially closing.   This is an intimate, highly supported 12-week program where we work together to break the nighttime overeating cycle, rewrite your habits, and build real self-trust. It's designed specifically for women who are done with quick fixes and ready for weight loss to finally feel simple, calm, and sustainable.   Because we start in just a few days, spots are extremely limited and time is running out to jump in. If you're ready to stop waiting for "someday" and actually make this the moment everything shifts, don't wait on this.   Head right now to nicoleternay.com/jump to submit your application before doors close!  

Would you still exercise if you knew for certain it wouldn't change how you look? In this episode, we're talking about what sits underneath the things you do for your health, and how diet culture taught us to read a changing body as proof that exercise is working. We get into functional fitness, exercise for longevity, body neutrality, and what a healthy relationship with food looks like once appearance stops being the scoreboard. Tara makes the case for a different goal, Elizabeth takes on the false story we've been told about control, and Maria brings the frame she uses as a therapist to sort which habits are worth your time. This conversation touches on: Why exercise gets treated as visible proof, and what that does to your body image What functional fitness looks like when the goal is balance, strength, and getting off the floor The all or nothing thinking trap that shows up when one goal doesn't land How Maria's protective factors vs risk factors frame decides which habits make the list Why non scale victories are the evidence most of us were never taught to count What Tara means by a weight neutral approach, and what it doesn't mean How exercise benefits mental health, strength, and endurance whether or not your body changes Why joyful movement still counts when your body looks similar a year from now If you've ever wondered whether you'd keep going without the promise of a different body, this conversation gives you a better question to ask and a wider set of markers to answer it with.

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey explains why the scale is the worst scoreboard for your fitness journey - and what's actually happening inside your body when the number won't budge even though you're doing everything right.She breaks down the three invisible changes working against women after 40 (muscle loss, estrogen decline, and dropping testosterone and growth hormone), why eating 1,100 calories a day is destroying your metabolism instead of fixing it, and the exact 4-step body recomposition plan that has worked for thousands of women inside WarriorBabe - including Robin, a 60-year-old who went through surgical menopause, lost only 4-5 pounds on the scale, but looked like she dropped 30. Join Our Free WarriorBabe CommunityTake the Free Quiz - Get Your Personalized WB4 Plan Get Toned With The Macro Method + 7 Bonus Gifts  If you've got a story about how The Macro Hour Podcast has positively impacted your life, we'd love to hear from you!

Do you know what you need to do for your health, but struggle to stay consistent? You're not alone. For many women over 40, the problem isn't a lack of information or even motivation—it's finding a way to make healthy habits fit into real life. In this episode of Healthy Beyond 40, Michele talks about how to stay consistent with exercise and healthy habits after 40, why motivation isn't enough, and how simple systems and accountability can help you follow through. We'll talk about healthy habits, exercise, strength training, habit tracking, accountability, and creating a routine that actually fits your life. If you're tired of starting over and want to build healthy habits that last, this episode is for you. Mentioned in this episode:

In this episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand-new series I'm calling Blind Spots — parts of your health that genuinely matter but almost never get talked about. First up: your feet.I open with the true story of Abebe Bikila, the unknown Ethiopian runner who won Olympic gold in the 1960 Rome marathon running completely barefoot — then I break down why that's possible, and what it teaches us about our own feet. We walk through the anatomy of the foot (26 bones, 30+ joints, and its own "core" of intrinsic muscles), the windlass mechanism that turns your foot into a rigid lever with every step, and why your feet are actually one of your main sensory organs feeding data straight to your brain.This matters enormously after 40. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death in adults 65+, and the research is clear: weak toes, poor sensation, and cushioned, narrow shoes are directly tied to fall risk, bunions, and balance decline. I share several eye-opening studies, four simple at-home tests you can do right now to assess your own foot strength, and the daily practices I personally use to keep my feet — and my balance — strong for the long run.Rate & Review – If this episode opened your eyes to something you've never been taught before, please take a moment to rate and review the Fit Mother Project Podcast.

If you're over 40 and gaining weight around your middle despite doing everything right, cutting calories may be the wrong place to start. In this episode I break down why protein - not restriction - is the first thing I look at with almost every woman I work with. We cover what's actually happening to your metabolism in perimenopause, why low protein can quietly drive your cravings, how much you really need, why breakfast is the meal most women get wrong, and the 30g "absorption limit" myth you've probably been told for years. I also walk through a 12-week trial in women aged 30–60 where the higher-protein group improved their body composition - with no calorie deficit and no exercise programme - and I give you the caveats too. Protein isn't just about building muscle. It's about building biological capacity.

I've spent 20+ years in the fitness industry, and after leaving bodybuilding, I had to completely rethink what exercise means to me. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the 5 pillars of exercise for longevity: strength training, Zone 2 cardio, sprint interval training, mobility, and balance. I'll walk you through what I personally do each week and why I believe women over 40 need to think beyond weight loss and calorie burn. I'm also sharing why I approach HIIT differently for women in perimenopause and menopause, how I incorporate strength training, walking, Pilates, mobility, and sprint intervals into my routine, and why getting strong now can make a huge difference as we get older. If you're a woman over 40 who wants to prioritize strength, fitness, longevity, and healthy aging, this one's for you. And remember: consistency beats perfection every damn time. ❤️ #WomenOver40 #StrengthTraining #HealthyAging

In this episode, Angela speaks with Eric Helms about what the evidence actually says. Eric explains why progressive overload matters more than simply lifting the heaviest weight possible, how women can build muscle effectively across a wide range of rep ranges, and how to structure resistance training for both long-term health and body composition. They also unpack training frequency, sets per muscle group, proximity to failure and why the best programme is ultimately one you can recover from and consistently follow. KEY TAKEAWAYS You Don't Have to Lift Extremely Heavy — Bone health doesn't require maximal lifting. Progressive Overload Matters — Keep increasing the challenge as you get stronger. A Wide Rep Range Works — Muscle can be built effectively across roughly 6–20 reps. Train Close to Failure — Aim to finish most sets around 1–3 reps from failure. Start With 6–12 Sets — Aim for around 6–12 sets per muscle group each week. Frequency Can Be Flexible — Training each muscle 1–3 times per week can work. More Isn't Always Better — Extra training delivers diminishing returns. Want to go deeper?

Most women over 40 are doing the wrong workouts and end up frustrated when the scales stop moving like it used to in their 20s and 30s. Here are the best and worst workouts for losing weight, toning up and getting stronger around menopause. Trinity 1:1 Coaching: www.trinitytransformation.co.uk

Send us Fan MailIf you're over 40, you've probably heard that strength training is important but how much do you actually need?Do you need to spend five days a week in the gym, lift extremely heavy weights, track every metric, or buy expensive recovery gadgets? Or can a much simpler approach give you most of the benefits?In this episode of the FitMitTuro Fitness Podcast, Turo talks with Dr. Jennifer Timmons, physician and founder of Timmons Wellness, about what really matters for building and maintaining muscle in midlife.They discuss why walking alone is not enough to preserve muscle, why women do not need to fear “getting bulky,” how much strength training is actually necessary, and why consistency matters more than following a perfect plan. Dr. Timmons also explains how she thinks about recovery, protein, fiber, exercise snacks, simple physical-function tests, and popular longevity tools like wearables, saunas, vibration plates, continuous glucose monitors, and cold plunges. In this episode, you'll learn: Why muscle becomes increasingly important after 40  Why walking and general activity are not enough on their own  Whether women should worry about becoming bulky  How much strength training you actually need  Why two short sessions can still be valuable  How to use progressive overload without overcomplicating training  Why consistency beats perfection  How to adjust training after a bad night of sleep  How much protein Dr. Timmons personally aims for  Why fiber matters alongside protein  What “exercise snacks” are and why they can work  Simple at-home tests for strength and healthy aging  Which longevity gadgets may be useful—and which you can probably skip  What a beginner over 40 should do this week Dr. Timmons also shares a practical “basics first” framework: movement, emotional health, diet, and sleep before spending money on optimization tools.Connect with Dr. Timmons:IG @jennifertimmonsmdWebsite: https://timmonswellnessmd.com/Connect with Turo:IG @personaltrainer_turoWebsite: https://personaltrainerturo.it/Try The Consistency ResetMy new personalized coaching app for women 35–55 who are tired of starting over with diets, workouts, and healthy habits.Get simple daily actions, realistic workouts, practical nutrition habits, and Reset Mode to help you keep going when life gets busy.Take the quiz and build your personalized plan here: studio.com/turo/consistency-reset

There's a myth that you have to keep switching up your workouts or your muscles get used to them and stop growing. It's called muscle confusion.It's not real. It came from people who needed you to keep buying the next workout video.In fact, if you actually want to build muscle, you do the opposite: you repeat the same exercises for 8 to 10 weeks and get stronger at them.In this episode, I explain: Why constant switching actually stalls your progress, Where variety belongs, and Why soreness was never the goal.Enjoy the show!Resources Mentioned: Learn to Lift:Membership:Send me your thoughts

Is it possible to age well while still living fully, rather than giving in to confusing and conflicting health advice? For women in midlife, practical, trustworthy guidance on hormones, metabolism, and longevity feels more essential than ever. This episode explores what really works to support your health as you navigate perimenopause, menopause, and the changes that come with this life stage, with a close look at peptides and regenerative medicine. If you are hearing about peptides, stem cells, and innovative treatments for inflammation, weight management, or energy, but are unsure what is safe and what truly helps, you're not alone. Dr. Jeff, a neurological surgeon and expert in regenerative and anti-aging medicine, joins Natalie for a clear, journalistic look at the science, safety, and real-world benefits behind these newer therapies. With experience rooted in evidence and concern for women's lived realities, Dr. Jeff shares what he sees working now for women in midlife, and the questions everyone should ask before trying new approaches. What you'll learn: Which lifestyle factors play a proven role in aging well, and how to think strategically about exercise, sleep, and stress What peptides are, how they work in the body, and where they fit for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s How to weigh the risks and benefits of peptide therapies, including GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, and why medical supervision matters How to evaluate online sources and navigate the confusing supplement market The role of muscle, bone, and mitochondrial health in midlife longevity Strategies for deciding if regenerative or peptide therapies make sense for your unique situation Aging is both physical and emotional. This conversation avoids hype and instead offers clear, actionable, and grounded advice so you can feel informed about options as science evolves. You'll come away with a firmer sense of what's real, what's probably not, and how to make confident, evidence-based decisions for your own well-being.

In this week's episode, Kacy and Tyler talk about what a GLP1 can mean for you and your weight loss journey as well as what its not going to mean.

You Can Eat What You Want and Still Lose Weight What if the thing keeping you from losing weight isn't what you're eating...but the fact that you've spent years telling yourself you can't eat it? In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest beliefs in dieting: that you need more restriction and more control to lose weight. Because if telling yourself “I can't have that” actually makes you obsess over it, crave it harder, and eventually overeat it… maybe restriction isn't the solution. We're getting into food freedom, cravings, emotional eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and why self-trust matters more than another set of food rules. You'll also learn why eating what you want does not mean eating everything in sight...and how giving yourself permission can actually change the way you eat. Because sustainable weight loss isn't about becoming better at saying no. Sometimes, it's learning how to say yes without abandoning yourself. If you've been listening to this podcast and thinking, “I know I'm ready for something to change, but I don't want to spend another year dieting, starting over, and fighting with my body,” I want to invite you into something a little different. It's called the Jumpstart Experience…a private 12-week experience where we work together to create real, sustainable change in your body, your habits, and the way you think about yourself. We start SEPTEMBER 28th! It's intimate, highly supported, and designed for women who are ready to stop chasing quick fixes and finally understand how to make weight loss feel simpler...and something they can actually maintain. If that sounds like the kind of experience you've been looking for, I'd love to have you join me. You can learn more and apply at https://www.nicoleternay.com/jump  

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when life changes so much that you no longer recognize yourself?In this episode of the FitMitTuro Fitness Podcast, Turo talks with author Sacha Hughes about grief, divorce, people-pleasing, alcohol, self-sabotage, emotional eating, and what it takes to rebuild your relationship with yourself.Sacha shares how losing her mother at a young age, going through divorce, raising children, and years of looking outside herself for love and validation shaped the way she lived. She also opens up about using alcohol and partying to numb pain, constantly putting others on a pedestal, and eventually realizing that the relationship she most needed to repair was the one with herself. They discuss why women often put everyone else first, how people-pleasing can become a form of self-abandonment, why social media can feed the need for validation, and how self-awareness can change the way we approach food, exercise, sleep, relationships, and everyday habits.You'll learn: Why difficult life events can make healthy habits disappear  How grief and self-sabotage can become connected  Why people-pleasing can erode self-trust  What it looks like to stop abandoning yourself  Why huge promises often fail  How small, realistic actions can support long-term change  How emotional states affect food, alcohol, exercise, and sleep  Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck  How to distinguish self-acceptance from giving up  Why external validation can become addictive  How Sacha rebuilt confidence and learned to trust herself again Sacha is the author of Love, Grief, and More Sex Than Pinot, part of the Soho Summers series.Connect with Sacha HughesWebsite: https://www.sachahughes.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sachahughes/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/SachaHughesAuthor/Publishers: www.oceanbreezepublishing.comConnect with Turo:IG @personaltrainer_turoWebsite: personaltrainerturo.itTry The Consistency ResetMy new personalized coaching app for women 35–55 who are tired of starting over with diets, workouts, and healthy habits.Get simple daily actions, realistic workouts, practical nutrition habits, and Reset Mode to help you keep going when life gets busy.Take the quiz and build your personalized plan here: studio.com/turo/consistency-reset

You're exercising more, fasting more, changing what you eat, and trying everything you know to support your weight, and yet the scale still doesn't seem to move.In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down five foundational habits she wants you to look at before assuming your body simply isn't responding. She explores how fibre-rich foods can support satiety and your gut microbiome, why walking after meals can benefit blood sugar, how meal timing interacts with your circadian rhythm, and why sleep and consistency deserve a much bigger place in the weight-loss conversation.She also explores GLP-1, food noise, nervous system state, and what research tells us about maintaining weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications.The takeaway is refreshingly practical: instead of chasing another complicated strategy, start by looking at the everyday rhythms you can actually repeat.Resources MentionedFREE Nervous System QuestionnaireTime & Light: Missing Pieces of a Healthy Lifestyle with Dr. Satchin PandaThe Cancer Conversation Women Aren't Having Yet with Dr. Leigh Erin ConnealyReset AcademyEat Like a GirlAge Like a GirlFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep368Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

There's a myth that you have to be doing back squats, deadlifts, and barbell bench presses or you're not really strength training.The reality is you don't need any of the three. You can get just as strong doing other things.In this episode, I explain why, as a 55yo woman, I skip those lifts, and what I program instead. Enjoy the show!Resources Mentioned:Lift-IT!

Are you working hard on your health but still feel like you're not doing enough? You may be eating healthier, exercising more, making better choices, and building healthy habits—but your mind keeps focusing on what's going wrong. In this episode of Healthy Beyond 40, we're talking about why women over 40 often minimize their progress and how that can affect motivation, consistency, weight loss, and healthy habits. I'll share a real example from coaching and talk about how learning to notice what's going well can help you build confidence and keep moving forward—even when you're not where you want to be yet. If you've been struggling with weight loss after 40, consistency, healthy habits, emotional eating, mindset, or feeling like you're never doing enough, this episode is for you. Mentioned in this episode:

Naturopathic doctor and author of The Cortisol Cure, Dr. Erin Kinney, explains why cortisol isn't the villain we think it is, but a "fix it" hormone you earn through rest and spend through everything else. She unpacks why decades of overspending leave midlife women with a depleted account, why that stubborn belly fat took years to build via insulin resistance, and why the instinct to push harder with more cardio and fewer calories only drains you further.

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey Stott breaks down why most women aren't getting the results they're capable of - and it has nothing to do with genetics, talent, or information. It's a standards problem.She explains the difference between goals and standards, why your baseline is almost always shaped by your environment and history instead of your actual capability, and how to set a new non-negotiable floor that holds up even when life gets hard. Plus, why September through December is the window that separates women who walk into January already ahead from women who start over again.If you've been coasting on "good enough" and wondering why nothing changes, this episode is your wake-up call. Join Our Free WarriorBabe CommunityTake the Free Quiz - Get Your Personalized WB4 Plan Get Toned With The Macro Method + 7 Bonus Gifts  If you've got a story about how The Macro Hour Podcast has positively impacted your life, we'd love to hear from you!

What happens when you do everything you're supposed to do to reach a goal, and you still don't reach it?You made the plan. Blocked the time. Set the milestones. Held yourself accountable. Did the work. But the outcome still didn't happen the way you expected.Before you decide you failed, or convince yourself you're back at the beginning, it's worth taking inventory of what the process actually gave you.In this episode of Time For Wellness, we're talking about what remains after an unmet or delayed goal: the skills you developed, systems you built, information you gained, confidence you earned, and evidence you now have about what you're capable of.We'll also explore an important question: Does this goal need more time, a different strategy, a pause, a pivot, or permission to be released?I'm navigating this question in my own life after an anticipated trip to Egypt was postponed. The experience reminded me that an outcome can change without erasing everything it took to prepare for it.You're not necessarily starting over. You may be starting again with evidence.In this episode:Why missing a goal doesn't automatically mean failureHow to take inventory before deciding what happens nextThe difference between continuing, adjusting, pausing, pivoting, and releasing a goalHow setbacks can build evidence for self-trustA simple “I'm Not Starting Over” reflection exerciseVideo version here.Grab your smoothie or cup of tea and join the conversation.

What if you don't actually need another diet, workout, supplement, or piece of health advice? What if you already know what you need to do—but you're avoiding it? Maybe you know you need to eat a better breakfast, reduce your portions, start walking, strength train, get more sleep, or set a boundary. But instead of doing that thing, you find yourself searching for the newest health trend, researching another plan, or looking for something that feels a little easier. If you've been wondering why you know what to do but still struggle to follow through, this episode will help you look at your health and habits in a different way. Mentioned in this episode:

Let's get into it! Some topics from today's episode include:⭐️All in does not mean perfect. It means committed, consistent, and no longer lukewarm about your health.⭐️Nutrition is about more than fat loss. It affects energy, muscle, blood sugar, digestion, heart health, and quality of life.⭐️Small, sustainable changes matter most. Real progress comes from habits you can actually maintain.⭐️Your future self is being shaped today. The choices you make now influence how strong, mobile, and healthy you'll be in 5, 10, or 20 years.⭐️It's better to act from inspiration than desperation.

What if aging isn't something that simply happens to us? This week's conversation completely shifted how I think about longevity. Not because it promised magic supplements or miracle cures. Because it reminded me that the goal isn't living longer. It's protecting the years we're living. If you've ever wondered… ✨ Should I take supplements? ✨ Does intermittent fasting really work? ✨ What happens to our bodies during menopause? ✨ How do I know what's real? ...this conversation is for you.

What if the changes you're experiencing after 40 are asking you to look at more than your hormones?In this solo episode of Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy walks through how she believes women can use the menopausal transition to better understand their nervous systems, reconnect with parts of themselves they may have lost, and begin building the next chapter of life more intentionally.She explores why so many women arrive in midlife already overwhelmed, why learning to regulate your nervous system may need to come before another health protocol, and how years of putting everyone else first can shape the way women experience this transition.Later in the episode, LeAnn Rimes joins Dr. Mindy for a candid conversation about overwhelm, perfectionism, boundaries, HRT, nutrition, self-care, and what it looks like to listen to your body while living a very full life.And for a limited time, you can get Age Like a Girl for $7 with free shipping in the U.S. and Canada only, while supplies last.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy nervous system regulation matters so much after 40How years of over-functioning can catch up with women in midlifeWhy play, curiosity, creativity, and speaking your truth matterHow to build your own lifestyle toolbox for menopauseWhy women need community as they ageWhy saying no can become an important form of self-careWhat it means to create the next chapter of your life on your termsResources MentionedFREE Nervous System QuestionnaireAge Like a Girl (Get your copy for $7 & FREE shipping, limited-time offer)Reset AcademyQualia Senolytic, use code MINDY for 15% offFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep364Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

What happens when fitness stops being punishment and becomes a way of coming home to yourself?In this conversation, Kristin Walker sits down with longtime friend, fitness coach, podcaster and mental health advocate Aline Duriaud for a wide-ranging conversation about late-identified neurodivergence, menopause, strength training, Muay Thai, mental health, coercive control, unmasking, and the extraordinary experience of finally understanding the operating system you've been living inside all along.Aline talks candidly about receiving an ADHD diagnosis in midlife and more recently beginning to understand herself through an autistic lens. She and Kristin explore the grief that can accompany late identification, but also the enormous possibility that opens when years of therapy, self-knowledge and lived experience suddenly have a new organizing framework. They also talk about bodies.Aline shares how she moved into fitness professionally in her late 40s, becoming a certified personal trainer and later pursuing specialist training in menopause and mobility. What began as a desire to become physically strong during an extraordinarily difficult period of her life eventually led her into bodybuilding, coaching, mobility work and, in her 50s, Muay Thai.The conversation gets into something rarely discussed in conventional fitness culture: movement as nervous-system regulation. For neurodivergent women especially, physical training can offer a place to put enormous mental energy, reconnect with a body that may have felt unsafe or disconnected, learn complex systems through movement, and experience strength without turning exercise into another form of punishment.Aline also speaks openly about her own experiences with coercive control, difficult coaching relationships, mental health treatment, DBT, burnout and the danger of handing too much authority to someone simply because they call themselves a coach. The result is a thoughtful discussion about agency, boundaries and finding forms of movement—and relationships—that actually fit the person you are.And then there is Muay Thai. Aline describes what it is like to become a beginner again in her 50s, learning an intricate combat sport with an ADHD coach who sometimes explains body mechanics using kebabs, baseball bats and imaginary iron testicles. Somehow, it works. Because perhaps the point isn't perfect discipline. Perhaps the point is discovering the kind of movement that makes you want to return to your body.About Aline DuriaudAline Duriaud is a London-based certified personal trainer, fitness coach, mental health advocate and founder of Rise Strong Fitness Collective, where her work centers particularly on helping women over 40 build strength, mobility, confidence and sustainable relationships with movement.Her professional study includes personal training, strength and resistance training, menopause-focused coaching, mobility for strength and injury prevention, body composition and functional training. Her own evolving practice also includes bodybuilding and Muay Thai. Aline is the host of Flex and Flow with Aline, a podcast exploring the intersection of fitness and mental health through conversations with coaches, athletes, mental health professionals and people whose lives have been changed by movement. She also created Beyond the Borderline, a peer-focused mental health podcast that has accumulated more than 80,000 downloads.Her newest writing explores menopause, neurodivergence, fitness and her experience of learning Muay Thai in her 50s.Find AlineSubstack — Menopause & Muay Thaihttps://substack.com/@menopauseandmuaythaiInstagram — Aline Duriaudhttps://www.instagram.com/aline.duriaudRise Strong Fitness Collectivehttps://www.instagram.com/risestrongfitnesslondon/Flex and Flow with Aline — Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flex-and-flow-with-aline/id1788533409Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/Tamsen Fadal was an experienced news anchor when heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fog left her on the bathroom floor of her newsroom. Despite spending decades in the media, she had no idea she was experiencing menopause.In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Tamsen shares how that frightening experience led her to investigate why so many women remain unprepared for perimenopause and menopause.Tamsen reflects on losing her mother to breast cancer and later realizing that her mother had experienced medical menopause following chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. Nearly 28 years separated their experiences, yet both women suffered without the information or support they needed.That realization inspired Tamsen to step away from a three-decade career in television journalism and devote her work to menopause education and advocacy. She explains how social media revealed the scale of the problem and gave women a place to share symptoms and experiences that had been ignored or dismissed.Dr. Taz and Tamsen also discuss the confusion surrounding hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized care, barriers to finding informed doctors, and the role telehealth may play in improving access. They explore how brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, and other symptoms can affect women's confidence, careers, relationships, and sense of identity.Tamsen also shares the story behind The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. After being told there was no audience for a menopause documentary, Tamsen and her partners self-funded the project, brought together leading experts and women's personal stories, and ultimately secured national distribution through PBS.The conversation turns toward reclaiming menopause as a powerful stage of life rather than a period of invisibility or decline. Tamsen discusses her book, How to Menopause, and the practical lifestyle changes that have helped her take better care of herself at 54.In this episode:Tamsen's frightening menopause experience in the newsroomHeart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fogWhy she did not recognize her symptoms as menopauseHer mother's experience with medically induced menopauseWhy menopause care has changed so little across generationsLeaving a three-decade journalism career for women's advocacyThe fear and financial uncertainty of making a major midlife changeHow social media helped women begin sharing their experiencesCreating The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on MenopauseBeing told there was no audience for a menopause documentaryWhy hormone replacement therapy remains confusingThe need for personalized menopause treatmentWhat to do when a doctor dismisses or minimizes your symptomsImproving menopause research, education, and access to careHow menopause symptoms affect women in the workplaceReframing menopause as a powerful new stage of lifeThe sleep, exercise, protein, stress, and alcohol changes helping Tamsen at 54About Tamsen Fadal:Tamsen Fadal is a 13-time Emmy-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, podcaster, and menopause advocate.After more than three decades as a television journalist and news anchor, she shifted her work toward helping women understand perimenopause, menopause, and life beyond midlife.Tamsen is the author of How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before.

Have you been doing everything right, cutting out the sugar, never missing a workout, counting every calorie, and still watching the scale creep up while your energy and sleep get worse? In this episode, I'm explaining why "eat less, move more" can backfire once your hormones shift in perimenopause and menopause, and what insulin resistance may have to do with the weight that feels stuck around your midsection. If you're tired of being told to just eat less and you're ready to test the right things, book a call with my team to talk through what you've tried, what hasn't worked, and the best next step for your body. And don't forget to grab my FREE Metabolic Testing Guide in the show notes, where I list the exact labs to start with.

What happens when the life that looks successful from the outside no longer feels like yours?For Lisa Pulliam, that realization came while standing on a beach in South Texas.She had built a successful business, led a team of more than 2,000 consultants and customers, spoken on major stages, and checked many of the boxes we're told represent success.But behind the accomplishments, Lisa was burned out.Her health was suffering. Her marriage was strained. One of her children was struggling. And somewhere in the relentless striving, performing, achieving, and showing up for everyone else, Lisa realized she had lost touch with herself.In this deeply personal episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie DeLucca-Collins sits down with Lisa for a conversation about burnout, people pleasing, midlife reinvention, motherhood, grief, social media, finding purpose, and what Lisa calls "the journey back to me."Lisa shares why she believes peace is an essential measure of success, how she began separating her worth from her accomplishments, and why sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is become quiet enough to hear ourselves again.They also explore Lisa's 30-day social media experiment, her practice of "Soul Time," morning pages, learning to surrender what we cannot control, and why the second half of life may actually become our most meaningful chapter.In This EpisodeThe moment Lisa realized her successful life wasn't working anymoreWhat burnout can look like when everything appears fine from the outsideWhy achievement and accomplishment don't necessarily create peaceHow people pleasing contributes to burnoutSeparating your identity from what you accomplishWhy Lisa deleted social media from her phone for 30 daysWhat happened when she stopped reaching for her phone every morningLisa's "Soul Time" practice for reconnecting with yourselfThe power of silence, mindfulness, nature, and morning pagesCarrying emotional "bricks" that were never yours to carryMotherhood, grief, surrender, and letting go without losing yourselfWhy feeling your emotions is part of healingRediscovering purpose in the second half of lifeWhy small moments can create enormous meaningWhat Lisa wishes she could tell her 40-year-old selfMemorable Quotes"If in the middle of that there is no peace, then I say there is no success.""You are enough just as you are.""Feeling our feelings is the beginning of healing.""Surrendering is an act of trust.""Until you breathe your last breath on this planet, there is a purpose for you."

Testosterone, not GLP-1s, is what finally let Chalene Johnson lose body fat and build real muscle after 40, and she's laying out exactly how in this episode. Chalene explains why her total testosterone always looked normal on paper while she still felt exhausted and stuck in the gym, until a clinician finally tested her free testosterone and SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and found the real problem. In her words, total testosterone is the money in the bank, free testosterone is the cash in your pocket, and SHBG is the bank teller deciding how much you actually get to spend. She also gets into why she skipped the growth peptides everyone's talking about (tesamorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295) and switched from monthly testosterone injections to a daily cream instead. She talks candidly about the mold exposure that wrecked her hormones, caregiving through her father-in-law's Alzheimer's, and why she stopped weighing herself and started tracking body fat with an InBody scale instead. Topics discussed: testosterone for women, free testosterone, total testosterone, SHBG, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause, GLP-1, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, HGH, IGF-1, progressive overload, body composition, InBody scale, DEXA scan, mold toxicity, testosterone cream Midi Health testosterone for women: https://chalene.com/test Midi Health hormone and menopause care: https://chalene.com/midi   Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast
