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.

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."

Labs read "normal" but you're gaining midsection weight, foggy and running at 70%? Your thyroid - not just perimenopause - may be the missing variable. Dr. Amie Hornaman explains why TSH alone misses the picture, how elevated reverse T3 "pools" and blocks T3 at the cell even when free T3 looks optimal, and why roughly 98% of women don't thrive on T4-only. She links falling progesterone, rising thyroid-binding globulin, low ferritin and the "thyropause" hitting 80-90% of women over 40.

But why does action create confidence, and not the other way around?Drawing from personal stories, coaching experiences, and practical examples, I know how fear, procrastination, and negative self-talk often keep women stuck.

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

In this episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with women's health and intimacy expert Maraya Brown for a rich, honest conversation about the difference between a life that's merely fine and a life that's truly spectacular.If you're a busy mom who feels like you're holding it all together but privately exhausted, irritable, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.Maraya shares her signature "Sick, Fine, Spectacular" self-assessment framework — a practical way to evaluate energy, hormones, intimacy, confidence, vision, and community — and explains why chasing a number on the scale rarely fixes what's actually underneath.She also shares her own health crash story (thyroid and adrenal burnout while breastfeeding, working, and organizing family events all at once) as proof that even health professionals fall into "fine," and that the way out starts with small, honest, doable steps rather than more hustle.Rate & Review – If this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to rate and review the Fit Mother Project Podcast.

You'll find real women, structured programs, and encouragement to help you move out of "fine" and into a life that feels alive again.Fit Mother Project Key Takeaways:"Fine" isn't a feeling to settle for — it's stress, effort, and resentment quietly disguised as okay, and most busy moms live there without realizing it.Weight loss and physical goals matter, but the real question to ask is "what will this actually give me?" — usually it's energy, confidence, or connection.A simple 1–10 self-assessment across six areas (energy, hormones, libido/intimacy, confidence, vision, community) helps you see exactly where you're stuck.Hormonal shifts in your 30s, 40s, and 50s are guaranteed — getting labs drawn instead of just "toughing it out" can be the fastest path to feeling like yourself again.Confidence and community feed each other: surrounding yourself with people who believe in you directly impacts your energy and self-image.Regularly "vision casting" — imagining your life 6 months, a year, or 5 years out — can shift your mindset and even your physiology, similar to research on power posing.Intimacy starts with yourself first: how you talk to yourself in the mirror sets the tone for every other relationship in your life.You don't have to overhaul everything at once — start with low-hanging fruit like labs, hydration, and nutrition before tackling deeper emotional work.Real change comes from shifting who you're being as you take action — not just adding another habit, workout, or supplement to your routine.In-person community and connection (retreats, events, close friendships) can accelerate healing and change faster than trying to do it all alone at home.Breakthrough In The Desert LIVE Event 2026!Come experience the energy of Breakthrough In The Desert, Live in person this August 7-9 in Phoenix.You'll enjoy transformational teaching, nourishing meals, and the kind of real community that leaves you feeling recharged, inspired, and deeply connected.Reserve your spot now for an unforgettable weekend.

You've been told your whole life that getting older is something to fight off. That your value has a shelf life. That younger is better, more desirable, more worth something. And most of us absorbed that without even questioning where it came from or who it was built to benefit. In this episode Lauren is blowing that up. We're getting into why the fear of aging makes complete sense given what we were taught — and why what we were taught was never actually about us. What aging really gives you. Why accepting yourself means feeling things you've probably been avoiding for a long time. And how to start building real self-trust from the evidence you've already got. If you're a woman who has ever felt like time is running out, like you're behind, like getting older is something happening to you instead of for you — this one's for you.Erikas instaStay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

If you are a woman over 40, burnout doesn't always come from working too hard. Sometimes it happens because you've slowly drifted away from the life you actually want.If you're a woman over 40 juggling career demands, family responsibilities, aging parents, relationships, and everyone else's expectations, you may recognize the feeling: you're constantly busy, yet somehow disconnected from yourself. In this powerful episode of the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, we explore why so many midlife women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck—and how to begin finding their way back.Our guest is Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer, a board-certified executive coach, human capital strategist, and bestselling author who introduces a powerful framework she calls "drift"—the gradual, often unnoticed movement away from your values, priorities, and well-being. Together, we discuss why burnout is often an alignment problem rather than simply a workload problem.Cynthia shares her practical Five Ps of Human Flourishing—People Health, Physiological Health, Purpose, Prosperity, and Potential—and explains how they can help you identify where your energy is leaking and where meaningful change can begin. We also discuss the early warning signs of burnout, including chronic exhaustion, Sunday-night anxiety, emotional depletion, and the subtle ways women become trapped in cycles of complacency, avoidance, or constant caretaking.One of the most actionable moments of the conversation is Cynthia's Seven-Minute Pivot, a simple daily practice designed to help you stop feeling overwhelmed and begin making meaningful progress one intentional step at a time. We also tackle the difficult topics of boundaries, guilt, people-pleasing, and why learning to say "no" is often one of the healthiest decisions a woman can make.Whether you're navigating career burnout, a season of reinvention, empty nesting, caregiving, or simply wondering why life no longer feels aligned, this episode offers practical tools and fresh perspective to help you reconnect with what matters most.Cynthia also shares resources to continue your journey, including her diagnostic assessment and her books, Now, Near, Next, and Human Capital Investment Strategy.If this conversation encourages you, subscribe to the V.I.B.E.

What happens when the diets that always worked suddenly stop working?In this episode, I'm joined by Letitia, one of our incredible Live360 clients. Like so many women over 40, she'd spent years stuck in the same cycle: lose weight, regain it, promise herself she'd start again on Monday. But when perimenopause arrived, everything changed. The strategies she'd relied on no longer worked, and the constant mental battle around food became exhausting. What started as frustration with her body slowly became a crisis of confidence and identity.As her children became more independent, Letitia found herself questioning who she was beyond being a mum. She became increasingly self-critical, withdrew from life, and felt trapped in a cycle of guilt, perfectionism and emotional exhaustion.Since joining Live360, she's: Lost 1 stone and 5.5 inches from her waist Stopped obsessing over food and dieting Rebuilt her confidence Found consistency without restriction Learned to enjoy birthdays, holidays and family meals without guilt Begun embracing the next chapter of her life with excitement instead of fear In this conversation we discuss: Why perimenopause makes old weight loss methods stop working The hidden emotional cost of dieting How identity changes after children leave home Why perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking keep women stuck The importance of community, coaching and support Why lasting weight loss starts with changing how you speak to yourself How confidence becomes the foundation for every other area of life This episode is about far more than weight loss.It's about letting go of the constant battle with yourself and finally feeling at peace around food, your body and your future.If you've ever thought: "Why can't I do what used to work?" "Maybe there's something wrong with me." "I'm exhausted by constantly thinking about food." ...this conversation will remind you that you are not broken you've simply never been given the right support.If you'd like to find out more about working with me and the Live360 coaching programme, book your free Food Freedom Breakthrough CallFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/max.lowery/Book a Food Freedom Breakthrough Call: https://www.neverdietagainmethod.uk/call-igWatch my The Cravings & Fat-Burning Masterclass: https://www.neverdietagainmethod.uk/register-podcast

EDUCATED & BROKE Black Women Over 40 4 Sista, 9 De by Greg Adams
Have you ever caught yourself saying, "That's just who I am," or "I've always been this way"? What if that story is the very thing keeping you stuck? This week, I'm joined by business psychologist Ryann Gillen for a conversation about identity, mindset, and why lasting change has so much less to do with willpower than we've been led to believe. While Ryann works with entrepreneurs, the ideas we discuss apply to every area of life, including your health, relationships, career, and the way you see yourself. One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation was this: the things you think other people are judging you for are often the judgments you're already holding about yourself. Once you hear Ryann explain it, you'll never look at self-talk the same way again. We also unpack why "just try harder" is terrible advice for most women. If you've convinced yourself you're a bad sleeper, an emotional eater, or someone who just isn't consistent, your brain will keep looking for evidence that those stories are true. In this episode, we discuss: Why hustle and alignment aren't actually opposites When moving the goalpost is healthy, and when it's driven by fear Why regulating your nervous system comes before changing your habits How your identity shapes your behaviors and ultimately your results Practical ways to start rewriting the stories you've been telling yourself If you've ever wondered why knowing what to do isn't the same as actually doing it, this episode is for you.

What if the business you keep daydreaming about isn't a midlife crisis — it's your midlife calling? In this episode, Wendy sits down with award-winning entrepreneur and small business mentor Lindsay Pinchuk, one of the less than 1% of female founders to lead her company through an acquisition. Lindsay built her first brand, Bump Club and Beyond, from a $500 investment into a seven-figure powerhouse — partnering with Target, Nordstrom, and Huggies and reaching three million people a month — before selling it and starting over. Today she runs Dear FoundHer…, a top podcast and community helping women over forty build businesses that actually last. Lindsay and Wendy dig into why it's never too late to bet on yourself, how to start before you feel ready, the simple two-question litmus test behind every brave pivot, and why your decades of life experience are your biggest entrepreneurial advantage. If a little voice keeps whispering “someday,” consider this your wake-up call.
Rapamycin is changing what's possible in fertility treatment, and in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how. Originally discovered in the soil of Easter Island and long used by the longevity community to extend healthspan, rapamycin is now showing real promise for improving egg quality, increasing blastocyst formation rates, and helping women over 40 (even over 45) get pregnant. Joining me is Dr. Steve Palter, founder and medical and scientific director of Gold Coast IVF in Woodbury, New York. We cover the science of how it works at the cellular level, the landmark placebo-controlled trial out of China that gave us published data for the first time, my own case series accepted to PCRS, and how I'm now using Rapamycin for egg freezing patients, not just last-resort IVF cases. We also get discuss the Vibrant Trial on ovarian aging, dosing protocols, and why resistance training and protein intake matter for fertility and longevity. In this episode, we cover: • What rapamycin is, where it comes from, and why it's become the darling of the longevity world • How rapamycin may improve egg quality by regulating protein synthesis and cellular repair in aging ovarian cells • The landmark placebo-controlled trial out of China showing significantly higher pregnancy rates in poor-prognosis patients • My own case series (including patients over 45 getting pregnant) accepted to PCRS • Who is (and isn't) a good candidate, and how to have that conversation with your doctor • Why dosing protocols are still evolving and what current regimens look like • The underrated role of resistance training and protein intake for fertility, PCOS, and longevity Read the full show notes, and find the full length episode here.

A lot of women hit their 40s and feel like the rules suddenly changed. The diet that used to work stops working. Weight becomes harder to lose. Energy drops. Sleep gets disrupted. Hormones shift. And most of the advice they're given is either incomplete or misses the root cause entirely. In this Podcast, I sit down with functional nutrition practitioner Dani Conaway to discuss what's really happening beneath the surface. We cover hormone health, metabolism, thyroid function, gut health, fasting, peptide use, and why focusing on symptoms often keeps people stuck. This isn't about chasing shortcuts. It's about understanding the systems that drive health, performance, and body composition so you can make decisions that actually move the needle. https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!
