So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It's not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you'll learn…

What if the harder you try, the more stuck you actually get? I know, sounds backwards, but I learned this lesson the hard way. Picture this: I'm in Hawaii, surrounded by paradise, and instead of enjoying the damn beach, I'm in full-blown meltdown mode over whether I earned my Mai Tai. That was the moment I realized… something had to change. Enter: The Flip Flop Life, my “napkin manifesto” that sat on my hard drive for six years before I finally brought it to life. In this episode, we're diving into: · Why perfection and all-or-nothing dieting are making you miserable (not healthy). · How to ditch the food police soundtrack running in your head 24/7. · The boring (a.k.a. unsexy) basics that actually move the needle, sleep, stress, protein, fiber, consistency. · What happens when you finally let it be easy instead of chasing six-week shred promises. This isn't another 30-day quick fix. It's a lifestyle shift for women who are done white knuckling their way through diets, workouts, and “earning their food.” So, if you're ready to trade the mental gymnastics for ease, fun, and actually living your life, welcome to The Flip Flop Life.

Download my Ultimate Creatine Guide for Women before listening so you can read along and get the most out of the episode. You know that feeling when you discover something that completely changes your perspective on health? That's exactly what happened to me with creatine. For years, I avoided this supplement because of outdated misconceptions, but the research on creatine benefits for women over 40 has blown me away. Here's the reality: we actually need creatine MORE than men do, yet most of us are walking around severely deficient. We have less muscle mass to store creatine, we're not eating nearly enough animal protein to get adequate amounts from our diet, and we're dealing with unique stressors like hormonal fluctuations and sleep deprivation that drain our energy reserves even faster. When I finally tried the right form of creatine - and yes, the form matters tremendously - it was like flipping an energy switch I didn't even know existed. No more afternoon coffee crashes, better workouts, sharper mental focus, and for the first time in my life, I could travel internationally without jet lag. What you'll learn: Why women over 40 are walking around creatine-deficient - and how this impacts everything from your energy levels to your brain function The shocking difference between creatine monohydrate and creatine HCL - one causes bloating and GI issues in 76% of women, the other doesn't How to calculate your optimal creatine dosage based on your stress levels, workout intensity, and life demands (hint: it's way less than you think) The brain-boosting benefits beyond muscle building - from reducing depression when combined with SSRIs to helping with sleep deprivation and cognitive decline Why adding taurine and magnesium creates an amplification effect that makes your workouts more powerful and recovery faster Real-world success stories from women who've transformed their energy, athletic performance, and overall vitality The simple math that proves most women aren't getting enough creatine from diet alone - you'd need to eat a pound of raw meat daily Love the Podcast?

So… Serena Williams shares she used GLP-1s to support her weight loss and the internet implodes with hot takes, shade, and side-eyes. Here's the truth: when it comes to midlife weight loss, some folks don't come to this decision lightly, and others are judging from the sidelines. If you've ever felt like you had to hide what's working for you because someone else might label it "cheating," this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is your permission slip to shut that noise down. In this candid, smart, and hilarious conversation, I sat down with Dr. Megan Garcia Webb, triple board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine (yes, triple), to break down: · What GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound actually do · Why “food noise” might be what's really driving your cravings · The real deal on side effects like muscle loss, gut issues, and does it really cause cancer · Who's a great candidate for these meds, and who should pause before jumping in · Why natural GLP boosters are more boring than sexy (but still matter) · How social media makes women feel like they're doing it “wrong”, no matter what they choose · The #1 most underrated weight loss tool (spoiler: it's not a supplement) · Whether you're GLP-curious, already on it, or side-eyeing it from afar, this episode is about giving you clarity, facts, and a whole lot of freedom. DM me or tag us if something in this conversation made you say, “Wait… I never thought of it like that!” Links + Resources: Dr. Megan Garcia Webb's website: YouTube channel: Previous Ozempic podcast Everything You Need to Know About Ozempic with Dr. Janese Lester Facebook group Free Resources: https://www.fitgirlmagic.com/freeresources_podcast Website: http://www.kimbarnesjefferson.com FREE Challenge 5 Days To Break The All Or Nothing Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kimjeffersoncoach
In this episode of the She2.0 Podcast, I sit down with Elisa Kosonen, a former fashion editor turned registered holistic nutritionist and founder of 14 Carrots - a practice helping women reclaim their energy, resilience, and joy in midlife. We talk about:✨ The scary-but-thrilling reality of making a midlife career pivot✨ Burnout red flags every woman should watch for✨ Why perimenopause is the “runway” to menopause - and how to make the landing smoother✨ The transferable skills you already have (yes, you're more qualified than you think)✨ What it really takes to start over at 40+ If you've ever thought “Is this it?” while staring down your career, relationships, or health in midlife, this conversation is proof that change is not only possible, it can be the best thing you ever do.
"All animals on earth and humans will eat until they get enough protein. You're basically gonna eat and eat and eat until you get enough protein. And only then are you gonna stop eating." - Dr. Ted Naiman I've been studying nutrition for decades, but when I discovered Dr. Ted Naiman's work on protein leverage, everything clicked into place. He is a brilliant primary care physician who grew tired of watching his patients gain weight despite trying every diet available. So he did what any good engineer would do - he reverse-engineered the entire obesity epidemic to find the real solution. What he discovered about protein for weight loss in women over 40 is absolutely game-changing, and it explains why you might be struggling despite doing "everything right." The simplicity of his approach will make you wonder why no one taught you this decades ago, and what he reveals about satiety will completely transform how you think about hunger. What you'll learn: How to stop the constant battle with hunger by understanding protein leverage for women - the biological drive that controls your appetite Why your grandmother could eat to satisfaction without gaining weight (and what changed in our food supply) The exact protein target that eliminates cravings and naturally reduces calorie intake Why the plant vs. animal food wars are missing the point - and what really matters for body composition The four-factor satiety scoring system that predicts exactly how much you'll eat How to exercise just 90 seconds a day and get incredible results (seriously!) The minimum effective dose for both cardio and strength training that busy women can actually maintain Why 8,000 steps daily is non-negotiable for appetite regulation - and what happens when you fall short Love the Podcast?

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my non-negotiable daily routine, how I reconnect with my purpose when life gets noisy, and why I believe loneliness is the silent thief of joy. We're tackling a challenge so many of us face in this season of life: how to stay motivated and productive while everything around us keeps shifting. Whether you're navigating midlife transitions, empty nesting, or simply wanting to show up more fully in your day-to-day, this conversation is for you.Key Highlights:Why September feels like a "new year" and the perfect reset point.The power of daily routines to set the tone for your day. How stacking small, intentional habits creates flow, reduces decision fatigue, and sets you up for productivity before your day even begins.How finding your purpose (big or small) reignites motivation. Exploring the importance of having something meaningful to wake up for—whether it's a personal passion, community role, or simply the joy of showing up for yourself.The truth about loneliness and isolation being as dangerous as smoking.Why midlife is the perfect time to redefine success and rewrite “the box.”Key Takeaways:“Loneliness and isolation are killing people, especially in terms of productivity and motivation.” -Kellie Lupsha“There is no box.

The intermittent fasting craze has left so many of us confused about whether we should eat breakfast or skip it entirely. I've watched women swing from one extreme to the other - from grabbing a muffin and latte on the run to forcing themselves to wait until noon to eat their first meal. But here's what I've learned after years of working with women in midlife: there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but there IS a sweet spot that works for most of us. When I see women struggling with energy crashes, afternoon cravings, and that constant feeling of being "hangry," I often trace it back to how they're starting their day. The truth about breakfast for women over 40 is that it sets your metabolic tone for the entire day - and that can either work for you or against you. When you understand how to break your fast properly (and yes, even if you eat at 10 AM, you're still breaking a fast), you can stop that blood sugar roller coaster before it even starts and finally feel in control of your hunger and energy again. What you'll learn: Why the timing of your first meal matters more than you think - discover the 90-minute to 2-hour sweet spot that can transform your entire day How to tell if you're a coffee fast metabolizer or slow metabolizer - and why this knowledge could be the key to better sleep and sustained energy The 40-gram protein rule that changes everything - why women over 40 need more protein than ever to overcome anabolic resistance and maintain muscle What really happens when you start your day with a "muffin and latte" - the blood sugar roller coaster that keeps you trapped in cravings all day long The loaded smoothie formula that delivers 40+ grams of protein - plus my favorite high-protein breakfast combinations that actually taste amazing How to do intermittent fasting the right way for women over 40 - why eating from noon to 8 PM might be sabotaging your results The 10-gram fiber rule that stops energy crashes - how this simple addition creates steady, sustained energy without the crash When to eat your last meal for optimal fat burning - the 3-4 hour window that lets your body actually rest and repair Love the Podcast?

After 30+ years of helping women transform their bodies, I'm sharing the exact fat loss strategy that actually works—and it's not what you've been told. If you're tired of the "eat less, exercise more" approach that left you exhausted and metabolically damaged (like it did for 95% of people who try it), this episode is your game-changer.
