The Fit Mother Project Podcast Episode 178 features a powerful and inspiring conversation with Lindsey Burwell, founder of The Patch Method. Lindsey shares her deeply personal health journey—marked by chronic illness, hormone imbalance, cancer scares, and motherhood—and how those experiences shaped her mission to help women heal at the cellular level.Together, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi and Lindsey explore why blood sugar regulation and daily detox support are two of the most overlooked foundations of women's health after 40. They break down how insulin resistance, liver congestion, chronic stress, and toxin exposure quietly drive fatigue, weight gain, inflammation, hormone imbalance, and brain fog—even in women who “eat clean” and exercise.The conversation also introduces transdermal nutrient delivery as an alternative for women who struggle to absorb supplements due to gut or liver issues. Lindsey explains how patch-based delivery can support metabolism, detox pathways, cortisol balance, immunity, and perimenopause—while simplifying daily wellness routines for busy moms.Key TakeawaysBlood sugar regulation underpins hormone balanceInsulin resistance affects women long before diabetesChronic snacking keeps metabolism inflamedMovement after meals improves glucose controlLiver health drives detox and thyroid functionModern toxin exposure overwhelms natural detox pathwaysDaily detox support matters more than short cleansesPoor absorption limits supplement effectivenessTransdermal delivery bypasses gut and liver stressCortisol balance supports energy and emotional resilienceSimple routines outperform complex protocolsFeeling better physically enhances motherhood and presenceMore About Lindsey Burwell and The Patch MethodSPECIAL DEAL: Go to https://www.instagram.com/the.patchmethod/The first 20 podcast listeners who send a direct message with the word FITFAMILY will receive free Patch samplesEveryone else who sends a direct message with the word FITFAMILY will receive 30% offWebsite: https://www.lindseyburwellwellness.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseyburwellwellness/Podcast: The Biohacked Method PodcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biohacked-method/id1834050652Spotify:

If you are eating less, trying harder, and still gaining weight after 40, this episode explains why. I lost 30 pounds in my 30s and kept it off for over a decade. Then perimenopause hit. Weight gain. Muscle loss. Brain fog. Inflammation. And zero answers from traditional medicine. So I rebuilt my entire approach to weight loss from the ground up. In this episode, I break down what actually works for women over 40 in 2026 and why most advice is outdated. This is not about more discipline. It is about using the right formula for the body you have now. Listen if weight loss feels harder than it used to and you want clarity instead of more rules. What You'll Walk Away Understanding Why stress reduction matters more than willpower Why eating less backfires in midlife Why the scale stopped telling the truth How muscle protects metabolism after 40 Why blood sugar drives cravings and energy How hormones, minerals, and data remove guesswork Where GLP-1s fit and where they do not Why sustainable weight loss is an identity shift One thing this episode will do It will help you stop blaming yourself and start using a smarter approach.

Soft, honest, and just a little sassy - because growth doesn't always look how we expected, but it still counts.Send us a text

Send us a textYou know that reflex where someone starts telling you about their awful day, and before you even realize what's happening, you're already three steps ahead trying to solve it for them? Same. Which is why talking to therapist and Yale instructor Leah Marone felt like someone gently holding up a mirror and saying, Honey, look.Leah's book Serial Fixer unpacks exactly why so many of us leap into rescue mode even when nobody asked. And it's not because we're Mother Teresa. It's usually anxiety, overfunctioning, a desperate need for harmony, or an old story we picked up somewhere along the way that says if everyone else is okay, then I'm okay.We get into the three types of fixers and I swear I saw myself in every one. Leah explains why giving advice too quickly, anticipating needs, and being “the glue” in every system slowly erodes our sense of self and keeps us out of true connection. We also talk about resentment, internal critics, and those sneaky moments when we center ourselves in someone else's problem without meaning to.My favorite part is how simple the solution can be. Validating before solving. Pausing before taking the bait. Letting people feel the consequences of their choices. And actually checking in with yourself instead of running around on emotional autopilot. Leah also shares how to handle those internal battles between the part of you that wants to do everything and the part that is exhausted and wants to hide under a blanket forever.If you've ever been called the helper, the dependable one, or the person who magically keeps life functional for everyone else, this episode is basically a warm permission slip to stop carrying the world.What's Inside:The three types of serial fixersWhy helping can quietly shift into controlHow to support without swooping inPractical shifts to reduce guilt and resentmentSo here's the real question. Whose life are you actually trying to keep glued together and what would happen if you stopped for a second? Imagine redirecting all that fixer energy into something that expands your own life instead of managing everyone else's. What would feel possible then?I want to hear from you. Come tell me on Instagram what you're ready to stop fixing and what you're finally choosing for yourself instead.Mentioned in This Episode:Leah MaroneSerial FixerOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

What if aging didn't mean decline, burnout, or stubborn weight gain but a powerful metabolic and neurological upgrade? In this in-studio episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to discuss her brand new book Age Like a Girl and share science backed strategies for women over 40 who want better metabolic health, sustainable fat loss, and hormonal balance. Dr. Mindy reframes aging as a biological initiation rather than a breakdown, explaining why stubborn belly fat, fatigue, and stress resistance are signals of adaptation, not failure. Together, Ben and Mindy break down simple but powerful habits that lower cortisol, restore insulin sensitivity, and help women shift from survival mode into strength. This conversation explores fasting rhythms for women over 40, the neurochemical changes of menopause, why walking is one of the most underrated metabolic tools, and how environment and relationships directly influence fat loss and healing. It is both deeply scientific and profoundly human. If you are feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, frustrated with your body, or ready to embrace the next chapter of your health with clarity and confidence, this episode is a must listen. Key Topics Covered Why fat gain is a protective intelligence, not a failure How walking lowers cortisol and restores nervous system balance Eating only during daylight for better insulin signaling The most effective fasting rhythm for women over 40 Carnivore fasting and why it accelerates fat loss safely Estrogen loss and the shift to ketone based metabolism Dopamine, motivation, and the neurochemistry of menopause Why environment and relationships affect metabolic success Menopause as a neurological and emotional initiation Why self prioritization is essential for long term health 

In this holiday season episode, I challenge the idea that you need to do more to stay healthy. Instead, I dive deep into the power of The Single Habit—a focused, non-negotiable daily action that acts as an anchor for your physical and mental well-being through the end of the year.   Mentioned in this episode:

Let's get into it!

If you've ever been curious about period underwear but also kinda scared to try it… this is your episode. Today I'm chatting with Arielle Loupos, founder of FlowerGirl, and her story, her mission, and her product completely blew me away. Arielle creates non-toxic, beautifully designed period underwear  including the viral period thong and let me tell you… I was skeptical. Then I tried it, fell in love, messaged her immediately, and said: "You need to come on the podcast."  In this episode, we get super real. We talk about why traditional period care (tampons, pads, cups, discs) can cause problems, why so many women deal with cramps and PMS that aren't actually "normal," and how materials, toxins, and synthetic fibers impact our hormones more than we think. Arielle shares her journey from e-commerce to product creation, what it really takes to make functional, sexy, non-toxic underwear, and how she's disrupting a category that desperately needs it. We also dig into the misconceptions around period underwear - the "diaper feeling" myth, the fear of leaks, the cleaning process, and why so many women are shocked once they finally try a pair. And of course, I share my own story of trying the FlowerGirl thong on my heaviest day… and becoming immediately obsessed!  You've been running on empty long enough.

As an IFBB bodybuilding pro who's coached women for almost 20 years, I'm giving you my honest thoughts, what actually works in the real world, and where most women go wrong once hormones, aging, and metabolism shifts start kicking in! We're talking protein targets that actually make sense, how much you really need, what supplements are worth your time, and why creatine isn't scary. I'm also getting into resistance training basics, how many sets you actually need per muscle group, and what a realistic weekly training plan looks like if you're trying to change your body in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. If you want to build muscle, burn fat, stay healthy, and look hot doing it without drowning in misinformation, you're in the right place! You've been running on empty long enough.

Feeling like your hair, brows, or skin just aren't the same lately? You're not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing what's been working for me — from my favorite clean beauty products to faith-based reminders that help you feel confident in the skin God gave you.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sat down with Gemma James, the host of Muse Yourself Podcast for a deep and honest conversation about my journey, my reinventions, and the many chapters that led me to where I am today. Gemma interviews me about how my life shifted from becoming a teen mom at 16, to raising two children on my own, to navigating toxic workplaces, financial struggle, and the overwhelming pressure of simply trying to survive!  I share how fitness became my lifeline during some of my darkest moments, helping me manage depression and slowly rebuild my confidence. We talk about how a random idea turned into a thriving pole dancing business, how that evolved into a women's strength studio, and how following tiny nudges without knowing the full plan turned into a career of helping women over 40 feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies! This episode dives into midlife health, reinvention, the power of movement, and the surprising path that brought me from government aid to coaching women worldwide. If you're craving a fresh start or love hearing raw, real stories of growth and grit, this conversation with Gemma is one you'll want to hear.
