Welcome to today's episode of Women at Halftime, where we're diving into a powerful conversation about breaking free from old habits and creating lasting, healthy change. If you've ever felt stuck in routines that no longer serve you—whether in your health, mindset, or daily life—this episode is for you. Joining us is Sheri Traxler, a certified health and wellness coach with years of experience helping people not just set goals, but actually live them. Sheri brings real insight into why we cling to familiar habits, even when we know they're holding us back—and how to switch those patterns successfully with a clear framework. See the updated article at: https://goalsforyourlife.com/high-energy/ Make sure you're getting all our podcast updates and articles! Get them here: https://goalsforyourlife.com/newsletter  Resources with tools and guidance for mid-career individuals, professionals & those at the halftime of life seeking growth and fulfillment including an online course with Sheri!: http://HalftimeSuccess.com SUMMARY: Complex Habits Need 6 Months: Sheri explained that forming new habits typically takes 21 to 30 days for simple habits like drinking water, but 6 months for complex lifestyle changes that affect multiple areas of life. She emphasized that the 6-month timeframe is necessary because it involves both a mindset shift and adapting to various life circumstances. Sheri highlighted the danger of removing support systems after the initial 3-4 weeks, as this often leads to relapse when life becomes challenging. Lifestyle Choices and Personal Well-Being: Deborah and Sheri discussed the impact of lifestyle choices and habits on personal well-being, particularly focusing on mid-career and mid-life transitions. Sheri emphasized the importance of understanding both the immediate health benefits and the long-term personal development that comes from forming new habits, using a client's experience to illustrate how confidence can be built through consistent action, even if physical results are not immediate. #holistichealth #midlifejourney #midlifemakeover #joyfulaging #midlifewomen CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Introduction 01:52 - Sheri Traxler, Health and Wellness Coach 04:39 - How Long to Form a New Habit 11:54 - Immediate vs. Long-Term Habit Benefits 16:12 - Creating a Habit Framework 20:38 - Lessons Learned About Habits 28:40 - Overview of the SWITCH Framework 32:30 - Stopping Bad Habits Effectively 33:04 - Immersion Techniques 34:50 - Building a Support Team 35:15 - Boosting Confidence for Habit Change 36:05 - The Power of Hyperfocusing 40:50 - Taking on Challenges 42:40 - Connecting with Sheri Traxler 43:56 - Thank You and Conclusion 44:32 - Outro

Have you ever considered that your eyesight might be affecting your bone health? In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle podcast, I sit down with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, a functional eye doctor and neuro-optometrist who's connecting the dots between vision, balance, and your risk of falling and breaking a bone. As someone who works with women 50+, fall prevention is one of the top concerns I hear about—and Dr. Bryce is showing us that vision may be the missing piece in our bone health strategy.We talk about how vision drives balance, posture, and movement—and how poor visual processing, eye fatigue, and depth perception issues can increase your chances of falling. That means more risk for fractures and accelerating bone loss. You'll learn how strengthening your eye muscles, improving your visual flexibility, and understanding how your eyes and brain work together can support you in staying upright, active, and independent. This conversation is a powerful reminder that bone health starts in more places than we think—including your eyes!Key TakeawaysThe Eye-Brain-Bone Connection – Vision is essential to how we move through space, and poor visual processing can increase fall risk and lead to fractures and bone loss.Screen Time and Bone Health – Staring at screens weakens the eye muscles needed for balance and coordination, indirectly increasing the risk of falls and bone-related injuries.Depth Perception and Fractures – Loss of depth perception makes it harder to navigate curbs, stairs, and uneven ground, putting bones at risk of breaks and setbacks.Eyes as Bone-Supporting Muscles – Just like weight-bearing builds bone, training your eye muscles supports posture, stability, and safer movement.Vision, Posture, and Bone Loss – Misaligned vision affects posture and body mechanics, creating patterns that contribute to chronic stress on the bones and joints.Functional Vision for Stronger Bones – Eye-brain-body integration is crucial for fall prevention, making vision training a key strategy in protecting bone density.Aging Eyes, Aging Bones – As eye function becomes less flexible with age, so does your body's ability to adapt and avoid falls—unless you intervene with the right tools.Where to Find Our GuestDr. Bryce Appelbaum's resources are available at http://www.myvisionfirst.comTake the free online vision assessment at http://www.myvisionfirst.com/quizInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbryceappelbaumLinks & ResourcesStronger Bones Lifestyle CommunityJoin a supportive space to strengthen your bones naturally with live sessions and masterclasses.

That evening glass of wine used to be such a simple pleasure. Now it comes with unwanted side effects—disrupted sleep at 3 am, morning brain fog, and inflammation showing up as puffiness or worse. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone in questioning your relationship with alcohol in midlife.Leigh Havelick's journey with alcohol follows a path many women recognize. Growing up in a home where drinking was taboo, she didn't have her first real drink until college. That initial feeling of warmth and calm became a powerful anchor, especially for someone diagnosed with anxiety and OCD early in life. Fast forward through marriage, motherhood, and grief after losing her father in 2014, and what started as an occasional glass of wine evolved into consuming most of a bottle most nights—a progression that sneaks up quietly on so many midlife women.The physical toll eventually became impossible to ignore. Racing heart at 3 am, constant fatigue, and the nagging sense that something wasn't right led Leigh to attempt sobriety multiple times before finally succeeding in June 2023. Her candid admission that she tried and "failed" repeatedly before finding lasting success offers tremendous hope and grace to women currently in that cycle. As she powerfully states, "The only failure is when we stop trying."What makes this conversation particularly valuable is the science behind why alcohol affects midlife women differently. As we enter perimenopause and menopause, our bodies have less fluid volume to dilute alcohol, and our liver may not process it as efficiently. This isn't just anecdotal—it's biological. One drink now can affect us like three did in our younger years.Beyond sobriety itself, Leigh discovered numerous underlying health issues that alcohol had either caused or masked, from gut problems to hormonal imbalances and even bone density loss. The improvements in sleep quality alone (measurable through her Apple Watch) demonstrate how profoundly alcohol was impacting her body's most essential restorative process.Whether you identify as sober-curious or are simply seeking a greater understanding of how alcohol affects the midlife body differently, this judgment-free conversation offers valuable insights for making informed choices about your health and well-being at this stage of life.You can find Leigh Havelick Send us a text_________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

Most commonly the challenge is gaining lean muscle. Doing all the things but can't seem to gain muscle? Then tune in and go through this like a check list of 12 strength training mistakes in menopause that could be the reason. It just takes one. But if there are multiple, it's compounded and in this case, not interest but penalty! Join us at Metabolism Makeover 2.0 to support your journey avoiding the 12 strength training mistakes in menopause. Overworking Small Muscle Groups [00:02:20] You need fewer of these small muscle group-focused exercises in your routine if you prioritize the major muscles like chest (pectoralis) and back (trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi). If the secondary (biceps and triceps) muscles are going to get a workout most of the time, these will rob you of time and energy that is better spent on major muscles if you aren't getting in the adequate volume there. Skipping the Warmup [00:06:40] Nearly a decade ago, I began sharing the fact that if you skip the warmup, you also miss an opportunity to increase total energy expenditure during a workout. It's not only about injury prevention. There's an increased blood circulation, improved energy expenditure, mobility and you can work closer to your capacity. If fitness and longevity are truly goals, “exercising” is not the same as working at your capacity and safely, sanely raising the roof on your fitness level so that age doesn't automatically result in slowing down or gaining weight. Not Resting Between Sets Long Enough Before [00:13:10] Rapidly moving from one exercise to the next, was yesterday. The “metabolic conditioning workouts” are a nice anomaly, a change in pace. Rest between sets of strength training. Reach complete muscle fatigue or within 2 reps of it. If you do HIIT, separate the sessions so you get the best benefit from it and from strength. If you are not getting stronger, not increasing muscle, and these are your goals (in order, perhaps to improve body fat % ultimately), it's a “how” you're doing it problem. Plan Your Routine to Avoid 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause No Organized Plan [00:17:30] You either default to using what's available at the gym or doing the same exercises in the same sequence every time. If you're not careful you won't change the stimulus (by changing the sequence and sets/rep combination) and may also not be getting enough sets per muscle group in each week. It doesn't mean that all sets for a muscle group must be all the same exercise. A super set of 6 different exercises for the triceps works. The next workout you may just do 3 and you're still covered… if you planned it that way. Not Sleeping Enough or Not Changing the Workout When You Don't Sleep [00:20:50] The sleep you get will determine the benefit you get from exercise. If you don't prioritize, your workouts will suffer too. You're also at risk for injury, not only because your body isn't fully doing the repair job or releasing testosterone and growth hormone in deep cycles of sleep as it should, but because coordination suffers. Treating Soreness or Worn Out an Indication of “Good Workout” [00:22:40] When you work muscles, it's normal to feel sore, even if you're extremely fit. Some muscles like quads and glutes are used to a lot of activity and tend to get sore less often. But there are two genes associated with soreness and you may either be predisposed to be sore or not. It's not a good indication of whether you worked hard enough. If you reached muscle fatigue or came close, you gave the muscle enough stimulus. The first sign of poor recovery was soreness after workouts, the second was reduced performance during workouts. 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause to Avoid and Nurture Your Body Dependence on Supplements and Negating Balanced Whole Food Meals. [00:27:00] If you're all too willing to jump to EAAs, or BCAAs but won't eat regular meals that result in satiety, chances are your lack of micro and macronutrients will catch up with you. “Food first”, then allow supplements to take you the rest of the way. I don't like to “count” calories on a regular basis but a snapshot is very helpful for checking in. Often for knowing when you're eating too little. Taking Too Much Advice (or Too Little From Too Many People) [00:30:20] It often takes even gurus a while to come around. You have to love Vonda Wright and Mary Haver sharing their own menopause journeys. We need more women like them. They're open about not knowing what they didn't know about menopause, as physicians and women. You have at your fingertips access to women who learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Just don't jump in the middle. You need an onramp. Ignoring Nutrition Needs. [00:32:30] The talk is “calorie deficit.” Yet, 80% of women in our community under-eat for their mere existence (resting metabolic rate) and then try to put their foot on the accelerator for exercise causing a bigger caloric deficit. Then they stay there for years, under-fed and under-fueled (processed food, diet food), the metabolism will come to a halt, along, potentially with adrenal and thyroid function. Figure your calorie needs. Use an app to track your actual intake for 3-5 days. 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause That Hinder Your Progress Thinking Small, Skinny, or Numbers That Don't Matter Instead of That Do [00:36:20] Your size and your weight on the scale do not tell the story of your fitness and health. Though they might hint at your likelihood of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, fall and fracture risk. When women focus on weight or size they sacrifice muscle. When they lose muscle, they lose strength, longevity and independence. A woman who has her ideal weight or size is constantly thinking about it and a step away from a fall or fracture. A fracture that results in bedrest, weakness and loss of more muscle. The beginning of the end. Those falls are not devastating just because of the breaks, but because of brain bleeds or other internal damage. Too Heavy to Start [00:38:20] The first 6-8 weeks, and up to 12, of a resistance training program, the benefits are due to the neural connection. That isn't rushed by going heavy. But loads too great for your ligaments, tendons and joints or muscles can cause weakness, undue soreness, and a weak foundation leading to injury. We, in the fitness industry, need to be more careful. We have sometimes lost our way in regard to where to START, and how and at what pace to PROGRESS. You Add Something But Don't Remove Something Else [00:40:30] I've experienced this temptation myself. When I started training for triathlons at 40, I was compelled to figure out how to run even while I was adding biking or swimming to my schedule. I soon realized I was sabotaging the quality of every workout and just putting those “junk miles.” A woman will lose muscle because of the added stress, inability to recover. That's an extreme example, but if you're adding and never subtracting/replacing, you're probably going to experience similar results.
