If you've listened to this podcast before, you'll know that one of the keys to successful weight loss in the menopause transition and beyond is taking control of your insulin and blood sugar levels. More specifically, being mindful of when and what you're eating in order to allow your levels of insulin, our fat storage hormone, to rise in reaction to typical increases in blood sugar, then fall back down when its work is done.
There's so much that we could discuss regarding optimizing diet and lifestyle for menopause weight loss, but sometimes we all just need some quick and easy wins. So in this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, I'll be sharing 5 simple blood sugar hacks to turn any meal into a meal geared towards menopause weight loss.
These are hacks that I use everyday to reduce blood sugar spikes with every meal. And the best part? They're so simple I hardly have to think about doing them!

In this week's episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, we'll be exploring some of the myths surrounding keeping your blood sugar "balanced" and how it plays in with weight loss. There are three main myths that we'll get into, and after going through them my hope is that you'll have a solid understanding of how glucose, insulin, and weight loss all work together.
Myth #1: Eating frequently keeps your metabolism revved upMyth #2: Eating frequently controls hungerMyth #3: Eating frequently helps to keep blood sugar from going too low
Before we dive in, here's a little preview of the myths:Think about what you've heard about blood sugar and weight loss. Have you heard any of these myths? There's so much information out there, but once you've got a handle on how blood sugar and insulin work together, it's much easier to understand the key to unlocking sustainable and consistently effective weight loss. I'm confident that this episode will get you there!

Menopause and perimenopause are tough. Let's just break it down quickly.
After years of relative homeostasis in our bodies, things just start to go a little haywire across most body systems. We see mood changes, skin changes, difficulty sleeping, hot flashes, and then the pièce de résistance for many people... our weight can sneak upwards and aggregate around the middle without changing anything about our diets. Tough!
Now just remember, there's light on the other side of the tunnel and everybody will eventually make it there. But in my years as a doctor and weight loss expert, I've found that professional women tend to struggle a bit more than others when it comes to weight loss in menopause. So in this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, we'll be exploring the very specific reasons why this is, as well as strategies for navigating some of the main challenges that professional women face on their menopause/perimenopause weight loss journeys.
As you'll hear in this episode, when I hit menopause I also struggled with my weight until I learned about managing my hormones through healthy, menopause-tailored eating. At that point I was able to lose 27 pounds and keep them off, and now I find so much joy in helping other professional women through the same challenges that I faced. So if as you're listening something that we're discussing sits with you, don't hesitate to reach out to strike up a conversation about how we can get you started on your final weight loss journey.

We've always been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and there are, of course, arguments for why this is or not true, depending on your perspective. But when we're talking about weight loss in menopause and beyond, the foods with which you start your day can have a real impact on how easily you shed those extra pounds, especially those sitting around the waist.
So in this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, we'll talk about why I unequivocally advocate for a savory breakfast over a sweet breakfast everyday, and we'll dive into the components that make-up the ideal breakfast for weight loss. Because ultimately, for women in midlife, menopause, and beyond- the name of the game for losing weight is decreasing blood sugar and insulin levels, and getting plenty of protein, fiber, and healthy fats with each meal.
But as you'll hear today, the benefits of switching up your breakfast from sweet to savory goes beyond weight loss. It's a pivot for better overall health and increased energy. So I hope you find this topic interesting and can implement some of the practical tips that I share into your morning routine.

There may be some cool medical technology that your primary care doctor isn’t offering you. It could help increase your health span (your healthy years), by telling you what is going on with your heart right now. It might not be offered because you seem “fine,” and it may not be covered by insurance, but it’s not very expensive out-of-pocket for most professional women either.
Take the Coronary Artery Calcium Score test, for example. It’s a CT scan to see if you have calcium deposits in the arteries that supply your heart, and it might change the preventive treatment you need for your heart. This is especially true for people with a family history of heart disease.My guest today is Dr. Tracy Paeschke, a board-certified cardiologist and health coach with over 25 years of experience caring for people with heart disease. After working for many years to diagnose and treat heart disease, she now focuses on prevention. She practices Integrative Cardiology in person at her clinic in Monument, Colorado, and through telehealth in several states. She employs the latest advanced lab testing, diagnostic testing, and cardiac imaging to provide a personalized assessment of her client's cardiac risk. She is passionate about helping people prevent and reverse heart disease through personalized medicine so they can enjoy a long life in good health.
In today's episode, Dr. Paeschke will give us strategies to increase the health of our hearts--yes, you can improve from where you are--and we talk about what level of LDL babies have. It will give you REAL perspective on your own cholesterol numbers.
I hope you enjoy the conversation and find something you can do to improve your health span, your years of good health.

Exercise is the gift that keeps on giving, especially in the midlife transition that we all go through. From weight loss, to overall health, to menopause health, the benefits of starting and maintaining an exercise routine show up in all aspects of our lives and keep us happy and vibrant long into the future.
So in this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, I share what I think are the benefits of exercise that can most profoundly touch the lives of women in menopause and midlife. We'll discuss how it impacts sleep, metabolism, and stress levels, and how all of that in turn can lend a helping hand with weight loss. We'll also look at how exercise helps with overall bone, lung, heart, gut, and brain health, which are things we all want to take care of as we progress through the years. And finally I'll share some practical tips on how to incorporate more movement and exercise into your life so that you can reap all of the amazing benefits.
As I say in this episode, if you're interested in building your exercise habits, start small and work your way up from there. A 1% change will move you forward infinitely more than no change at all.
I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, please consider subscribing to the podcast, following the channel on YouTube, and sharing with anybody who you think might find this content interesting. Thank you!...

Did you ever wonder why some long-term relationships stay hot, and some become more like friends or roommates?
Did you ever think that once the kids were out and you had more energy that you would have more passionate time with your partner, but it just isn’t going that way?

High performing individuals who are successful in their careers (but can’t say the same for their romantic relationships) work with her to create the quality of relationship they long for.

Have you ever tried intermittent fasting, lost a few pounds, but then seemingly got stuck on a weight plateau?
If you have, don't worry, this story is incredibly common and it usually stems from one thing: we forget to keep the "intermittent" in "intermittent fasting. What I mean by this is that as humans we have a tendency to fall into behavioral patterns, and in turn, our bodies adopt a new homeostasis to accommodate the changes. It's all in the name of keeping us alive!
So when somebody starts a fasting protocol and sticks with it, eventually the body catches up and does its best to keep things running steady. That's when the plateau happens, and that's when people typically drop IF.
So that begs the question... is IF even a good solution for weight loss?
The simple answer is YES, it is as long as we stay true to what it is meant to be, which is INTERMITTENT. So in this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast I'm going to be talking about the various ways that you can keep IF intermittent and avoid that lousy plateau. It's a short episode, but I promise that you'll walk away with a revitalized and simple view of IF that can help you reach your weight loss goals.

It's no surprise to anybody that the big snack food companies of the world have been sneaking around for decades now- plotting how to get their processed products into our pantries and ultimately our stomachs. It really started in the 80s when the idea of snacking while watching TV was introduced, and it's only grown from there.
Over time, snack food marketing has successfully shifted our eating habits from one where we ate three dedicated meals per day, to erratic eating throughout the day that doesn't allow for much digestion downtime between ingestion. On top of that, the snack food has become more and more processed to the point where the default for much of the US population is a sugar-filled option, containing a seemingly never-ending list of ingredients.
Now, in recent times we've seen a glimmer of hope in the fact that consumers are starting to shy away from these ultra-processed foods. It's not clear why this is happening, but one thing is clear: the big snack food companies aren't happy about it and they're actively working to reverse it!
In this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, we'll be talking about the sneaky tactics that these companies and their executives are using to boost their sales and regain their control over our eating habits. From suggesting the addition of highly processed foods to typical dishes, to bashing the use of the word "ultra-processed," the games have just begin and it's really quite worrying.
So as you listen, please take note that the snack food companies are coming for you, and know that we're all better off sticking to three dedicated meals per day consisting of healthy fibers, fats, and protein. I hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to stay tuned for more as this story develops!...

The gut-brain connection has been THE hot topic in academic and popular science for a while now because of the incredible evidence that's come out to support its validity. But as humans, we've known, or at least intuited, that there's some sort of connection for much longer. Just think about the ubiquity of the phrases "listen to your gut" or "butterflies in my stomach"!

Now, combine our long-standing human intuition with the rapidly stacking evidence from studies, and what we're left with is a powerful way to understand our personal health. That's what my guest this week on the Vibrant Menopause Podcast is doing, and she's using her expertise to beautifully guide women through their midlife transitions.
Her name is Dr. Ellen Albertson, a psychologist, registered dietitian, wellbeing coach, and self-compassion teacher. Known as The Midlife Whisperer™, she helps women find the energy, confidence, and clarity to make their next chapter their best chapter.
Our conversation covers a variety of fascinating topics, including nutritional psychology, self-compassion, stress management, and of course, the gut-brain connection. She also offers practical tips for women navigating midlife changes, and introduces her book, 'Rock Your Midlife,' which outlines seven steps to a more fulfilling life in midlife and beyond.
This episode is a must-listen for any women looking to find energy, confidence, and clarity in their midlife, so I hope you enjoy and find it enlightening!

One in every four workers in the US works the night shift. So when the sun goes down and the other 3/4ths are getting ready for bed, they're starting their day of work. If you've never experienced this before, take a moment to think about the unique challenges this kind of work poses...
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066781772391&mibextid=kFxxJDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dusktodawnmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chinyelu-oraedu-m-d-a4a01b87/Coaching Website: https://www.dryelora.comRadio Show: https://www.dryelora.com/nightshift-lifestyle-show/
You might be wondering things like, "when are they supposed to eat?", "how do they spend time with their families?", "when do they sleep?", "how do they get good quality sleep?", etc... And these are all very valid questions that, in all honesty, a lot of night shift workers haven't quite figured it out.
For professional women, such as healthcare workers, who work the night shift, finding a sustainable way to do this kind of work is crucial to long-term professional success, as well as being able to maintain a happy and balanced life outside of work. Here's where today's guest steps in!
Dr. Chinyelu E. Oraedu, also known as Dr. Yel'Ora, is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, and is the CEO and founder of Dr. Yel'Ora Lifestyle & Obesity Coaching for night workers. She founded her coaching practice after going on a total lifestyle makeover in which she dedicated herself to becoming very intentional about the way she lives her life in order to thrive in shift work. She engrossed herself in the research about night shift work and put together a program to support, empower and transform the experiences of other workers as they face the unique challenges associated with their non-standard work schedule.
In this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, Dr. Yel'Ora shares her perspective on night shift work, how she got into it in the first place, and how she learned to make the most of it for herself and others. Her goal is to help normalize this type of work and put workers in a position where they can embrace its advantages without sacrificing on their physical health, mental health, families, social engagements, and anything else that's important to them.

Something I've noticed in myself and with clients is that when us women hit midlife, we start to see our brains changing with menopause. Most frequently we observe more brain fog and difficulty recalling words. Inevitably, we then begin to consider what our future cognitive health looks like, and turn to family members to try to get a glimpse into the what might lie ahead.

There's no denying that these changes are daunting, especially if you weren't expecting them, but fortunately for us, there are experts like today's guest who can guide us through the changes and educate us on how to live a long, fruitful, and brain healthy life!
My guest on this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast is Dr. Annie Fenn, an OBGYN from Jackson, Wyoming who's on a journey to help people fend off Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases through eating delicious food. After 20 years of practicing as an OBGYN and helping menopausal women through normal neurologic changes, she decided she wanted to zoom in on this aspect of her work. So she retired from her practice, entered culinary school, and the rest is history.
She has since started the Brain Health Kitchen, through which she teaches classes on brain health nutrition, leads brain health retreats around the world, and has published a new cookbook called The Brain Health Kitchen: Preventing Alzheimer's Through Food.
Dr. Fenn does a terrific job of mixing the most up-to-date scientific literature on food and brain health into actionable advice and a delicious way of eating, and you'll hear all about that in this episode. We'll discuss the midlife neurological changes that women can expect to see in perimenopause and menopause, we'll zoom in on brain healthy diets such as the Mediterranean and MIND diets, and she'll walk us through the brain benefits of various food groups as well as weekly consumption goals to help minimize the risk of cognitive decline.
This was a fascinating discussion and I'm sure that everybody will be able to take something away just from listening. But if you're interested in learning more about Dr. Annie Fenn's work with her Brain Health Kitchen, be sure to visit her at:...

If you're like me who grew up in the '80s, you'll probably remember the seasonal color analysis trend that gained huge popularity. Now, fast forward to 2024 and it's back and more specific than ever before, with new categories and analysis protocols that are allowing people to really narrow in on the exact clothing, jewelry, hair, and nail color palettes that suit them the best.

My guest today, Jeannie Stith, is a color analysis expert and the founder of Your Color Guru, and she's been a leader in bringing this service back to the mainstream while making it more accessible than ever before. She's been featured in VOGUE magazine, Real Simple, and The Spark Joy Podcast, and her services are now available in 48 countries and counting!
I came across Jeannie after my midlife weight loss journey when I needed to rebuild my wardrobe with clothes that fit and made me feel comfortable and confident. After working with her, I'm able to walk into a store and immediately know which pieces will work for me. And as a professional woman, I can't underline enough just how convenient this is and how much time it has saved me over the years.
In this episode we'll talk about the history of color analysis and what it is now, how it works, and most importantly, how it can help professional women in midlife and menopause look and feel vibrant. Jeannie was kind enough to share a discount code with us, so if after listening to this episode you're interested in having color analysis done, you can use code "COLORME" at checkout at yourcolorguru.com to get 10% off any package.
I hope you enjoy, and please consider leaving a review if you do. It's a small thing but it really helps us to reach more people like yourself. Thank you!

I haven't mentioned it much on the podcast, but I've been gluten-free for over a decade now. The decision to cut it out wasn't prompted by anything related to weight loss, but rather some lab results showing that I have an autoimmune disorder that can flare up when I eat gluten. So that was that and I haven't looked back!
That being said, after I cut out gluten I did find that I dropped a pant size, but after doing some digging I realized that this sudden weight loss wasn't directly related to gluten. So this is what I'll be discussing on the first episode of the newly branded Vibrant Menopause Podcast!
We'll explore some of the misconceptions around going gluten-free for weight loss and better menopause health, discuss a bit of the science why gluten-free can actually be especially difficult in menopause, and in the case that any of you want or need to go gluten-free, I'll share some of my favorite menopause-friendly alternatives to gluten-containing products.
I hope you enjoy, and if you do, please consider leaving a rating or review on the streaming platform from which you're listening!...

This week we're back with a shorter episode, but it addresses a question that's really important to acknowledge and have in the back of your mind when on a weight loss journey. That question, of course, is "what's your Krytonite?"
In the context of weight loss, I generally think of "kryptonite" as irresistible food items; things that, more often than not, cause you to succumb to their power. For many it's chocolate or ice cream, or for others it's bread or pasta. But unlike Superman, however, who rarely knows how and when he'll come in contact with kryptonite, we can predict when and where we might be within eye or nose length from these things. And from there, we can create a plan for how we want to handle our temptations in order to stay on track with our weight loss goals.
This is our superpower!
So in this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, we'll talk about how to identify your own kryptonite, how to plan your indulgences with informed decision making, and we'll get into where your kryptonite fits into your weight loss journey.
I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, please be sure to "like" this episode and subscribe to the podcast. These small gestures help us a lot to reach other professional women over 50 who are interested in losing weight for the last time. Enjoy!

It's well known that the Mediterranean Diet is among one of the healthiest eating styles in the world, but when you look at all of its components it can cause confusion. So in this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined by fellow doctor, believer in food as medicine, and midlife weight loss specialist, Dr Caissa Troutman. When working with her clients in her practice, Weight ReMDy, she's a big advocate for incorporating as many of what she calls the "9 food groups" of the Mediterranean into their eating plans while on their weight loss journey, so that's what we're going to be focusing on today!
The great thing about the Mediterranean Diet is that it's really just a guideline for which types of foods and how much of each to eat. So as long as you're sticking to the correct food categories and amounts, you can use any cultural food that you want. And if you're worried that you don't know what the food categories and amounts are, don't worry, we'll cover all of that and more today.

Have you ever wondered how the midlife, menopause-age actresses of Hollywood keep their skin looking vibrant and healthy while under the scrupulous eye of the camera? Well, it's thanks in no small part to people like today's guest, Helen Marray-Finlay - a skincare expert, Hollywood makeup artist, and the founder of Finlay+Green!
Through her work, and as a woman going through menopause, Helen realized that there was a lack of safe and effective skincare products specifically formulated for menopausal skin. This realization fueled her passion to create her own line of products that are straightforward, effective, and made with clean and healthy ingredients.
Helen is dedicated to empowering women and ensuring they feel confident and beautiful in their skin, and this was so clear from our conversation. In this episode of the Vibrant-MD podcast, she discusses her journey from Hollywood to founding Finlay+Green, shares fantastic skincare and makeup tips for women in menopause, and so much more!
I hope you enjoy this episode, and as an added bonus, if you'd like to check out any of the great products from Finlay+Green, Helen was kind enough to share a discount code for listeners of the podcast. Use VIB20 at checkout and get 20% off your order!
