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!

Feeling our best starts and ends with quality sleep, but as we get into midlife, sometimes the "quality" part starts to slip away from us. Whether it's increased waking throughout the night, difficulty falling asleep, or general unrestful sleep, these disturbances make the rest of our day much more difficult, and as professional women, that's the last thing we need!
That's why I'm so pleased to share this episode, which is a terrific conversation with the one and only Morgan Adams - a double-certified holistic sleep coach and your "sleep soulmate." More than 1 in 4 women experience or the inability to fall or stay asleep, and Morgan is on a mission to help women reclaim their rest and achieve whole-body health.
In this episode, Morgan shares her story of going from struggling with insomnia and relying on sleep pills in order to fall asleep, to becoming a sleep expert. We discuss the benefits of sleep from a general perspective, as well as with weight loss in mind. Spoiler alert: quality sleep is often the missing piece to the puzzle for midlife women who get stuck on their weight loss journeys.
I was so impressed with Morgan's wealth of knowledge and graciousness in sharing some of her best tips and tricks for unlocking better sleep. So if you're someone who wants to rest easier and reap the benefits, this is a great episode for you.

Weight loss really works when you've made the mental commitment to staying on that path, and you have the support systems in place to hold you accountable. The worst place to be is in a state of indecision, which is what we'll dive into in this episode!
A good analogy for this conundrum that so many people face is when you're driving and there's a fork in the road. To the right, the road leads you home - a place that you know well and you're comfortable with. To the left, the road leads to a place that you've always been curious about but haven't ventured yet. And in-between these two roads there's a median full of debris, sticks, and trash; a generally uncomfortable place.
Within the context of weight loss, if you think of the road to the right as maintaining the status-quo, and the road to the left as moving head-on towards permanent weight loss, then the median represents indecision. It's a place where you're interested in moving towards permanent weight loss, but you're not sure if you'll be able to do it so you don't fully commit. It's a sticky zone where there's intention, but not quite enough, and this is often the situation that leads people to underwhelming results on their weight loss journeys.
Stories are always the best way to connect our experiences, so in this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, I share a few stories, some of my own and some from clients - that highlight the different outcomes of a weight loss journey when it's faced head-on with mental commitment versus indecision. We'll also talk about the profound benefits of working with a coach while on your final weight loss journey, such as built-in accountability, having someone to consult with to work through the "sticky" social moments, and so much more!

Is there a person that you're afraid of becoming while on your weight loss journey? I so frequently hear from the professional women that I work with that they're excited to have their personalized meal plans, but they're worried about what their new way of eating is going to look like when it comes to family/friend gatherings.
They're worried that they'll have to justify themselves to people, that food will be pushed upon them and they'll have to say no, or that they'll be perceived as bad guests. All totally valid concerns, because after all, they're venturing into new territory. But for just a moment, let's put aside our worries, and imagine two different people in this same situation: Justifying Jane and Magnificent Maya.
They're both on similar eating protocols, but the way that they engage with others when it comes to food varies drastically. Justifying Jane feels the need to explain her choices in great detail, while Magnificent Maya gracefully eats only what she wants, and nothing more. Despite eating the same foods, one of them is perceived by others in a much better light. I'll let you guess who!
In this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, we'll explore this fear that so many people hold of becoming like Justifying Jane, and dive a bit deeper so that we can understand why it is that this fear exists. And please keep in mind that there's no one right way to be other than the way that you choose to be, but for many people, Magnificent Maya is an aspirational figure while they're on their weight loss journeys. So with that in mind, we'll also talk about ways to be the gracious, thoughtful, well-perceived, desired guest that she embodies, so that get-togethers can be a breeze!

I hear it so frequently from the professional women that I work with that they wish they had more time to do all of the things that they want/need to do. And it's true! As high-achieving women with so many things that we want to do plus all the regular responsibilities of life, 24 hours seems like it flies by.
But what if I told you that you could get back at least 10 hours of your time per week? Imagine what you could do then!
Well, my guest this week on the Vibrant-MD Podcast, Dr. Ann Tsung, specializes in helping entrepreneurs do just that! When you look at Dr. Tsung's resume you immediately get the sense that she is a master at getting things done. To name a few of her accomplishments, she is a NASA Flight Surgeon, Critical Care/Emergency Medicine physician, real estate investor, podcast show host of Productivity MD, a mother of a 19-month-old, and a peak performance/productivity coach at Productivity MD. With a unique fusion of medical precision and entrepreneurial success, she guides top physician entrepreneurs to unlock over 10 hours a week, master their mindset, scale their businesses, and achieve unparalleled freedom and leadership excellence.
In this episode, Dr. Tsung shares some of her favorite tips and tricks that she personally uses to make the most out of her time. They range from something as simple as turning your phone to grayscale in order to reduce dopamine dependence, to outsourcing until the scope of work only includes your "zone of genius", aka, the stuff that you're great at!
This is the type of episode where you'll walk away feeling empowered, with real tips that can make an immediate impact on your productivity. So do yourself a favor and tune into this episode!

Gut health is a hot topic in the scientific community, and it's been all over the news recently as new amazing findings come out. And for good reason, too! We can all benefit from keeping our gut happy and healthy, but especially women in midlife and beyond.
That's why in this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, I had the great pleasure of being joined by Bonnie Wisener, a registered holistic nutritionist and digestive health expert from Toronto, Canada. We discuss how gut health impacts us, particularly in midlife, affecting weight loss and overall health.
Bonnie's practice is driven by her mantra, "Everything but the Food", emphasizing that while food plays a vital role in gut health, other factors such as stress, exercise, and sleep patterns also have a significant effect on gut health. As you'll hear, she suggests small, gradual changes, and I think you'll find her advice to be extremely practical, sympathetic, and digestible for anybody who wants to improve their gut health.
So join us by tuning into this conversation, and if you're interested in checking out more of Bonnie's work, you can visit her at:

If you're a woman in perimenopause/menopause and you have a vagina, listen up, because this episode is going to blow you away!
My guest this week, Dr. Rachel Rubin, is a Urologist and a Sexual Medicine Specialist, and I was so excited to talk with her because the work that she does, both in clinic and on social media, has dramatically helped countless women live with greater comfort, confidence, and pleasure!
Dr. Rubin joined me on this episode to talk about the life-changing benefits of using vaginal estrogen for women in menopause and beyond. She likes to say that she deals in issues of libido, arousal, orgasm, and pain, and fortunately for everybody, vaginal estrogen can help with issues surrounding all of these topics. Without revealing too much, it is well documented to improve sex life, prevent urinary tract infections, and decrease vaginal pain, leading to a higher quality of life.
So you might be asking yourself, "why haven't I heard of this before?"
Unfortunately, despite literature supporting the local use of vaginal estrogen having been around for decades, it hasn't been widely adopted by the medical community. This is where Dr. Rubin steps in **cue heroic music**.
Dr. Rubin has made it her mission to spread this knowledge, and mind you, credible, up-to-date knowledge- to as many people as possible. She does so by shouting from the rooftops via her social media pages, running her D.C.-based practice, and training the next generation of Sexual Medicine physicians. What I love about her is that she is relentlessly herself and she won't stop at anything to share this information!

If you've been listening to the podcast for a while now, you've probably heard me and a couple of my guests talk about Ozempic. It's an injectable weight loss medication that has been in the news a lot as of recent times, and it's become so popular that, in many places, it's hard to find in pharmacies.
So if it's this popular it must be a miracle drug, right?
Well, in certain situations it can really help people lose weight, and it's worth giving it credit where it's due. However, it's concerning to me when I see the New York Times covering the drug as a premier solution to menopausal weight gain, without talking about any of the negative side effects or downsides.
So in this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, we'll take a look at what the article from the NYT got right, what it got wrong, and what I recommend for someone who is serious about tackling menopausal/perimenopausal weight gain head-on. I think you'll be happily surprised by the simplicity and beauty of my recommendations compared to potentially spending several hundred to thousands of dollars each month on Ozempic.

Let's stop to take a moment to look back on how far we've come as professional women. We've worked incredibly hard, learned all the lessons (both good and bad), and we should be proud of all that we've accomplished!
As we look back, let's think about all the steps, twists, and turns that we took along the path to get to where we are now. We've come a long way, but for most of us, our accomplishments didn't come in one fell swoop. They were the results of breaking down the journey into smaller, attainable, and gratifying steps, that one-by-one led us to where we are today.
I think the process of breaking down a larger goal into smaller steps is a crucial part to accomplishing anything that's important to us, because it helps us to stave off feelings of overwhelm and doubt, and gives us a sense of direction during the journey.
Weight loss is no different, which is why in this episode of the Vibrant MD Podcast I talk about how I like to think about breaking weight loss down into steps that make the process easier and enjoyable. As you'll hear as you listen, depending on how you're feeling, depending on how the landscape looks ahead of you, breaking it down can be a helpful way to go because there's a wonderful satisfaction in focusing on what's immediately ahead of you.

As professional women, we've had to learn a lot of things to make it in the career we chose. We took classes, attended years of school, and entered into the workforce ready to apply all that we've learned, but, as I'm sure almost all of us found out, there was still so much we needed to learn beyond didactics and practical knowledge in order to find success.
A big part of work is learning how to communicate with your coworkers/partners, managing your emotions, and understanding how our thoughts interact with the thoughts of others. Because after all, work is a balancing act of the thoughts, emotions, feelings, and actions of everybody involved, so knowing how to navigate this complicated sea is extremely important.
My guest today, Amy Vertrees, MD, is an expert in this area. She's a general surgeon, a certified life coach, an army veteran, and the founder of BOSS Business of Surgery Series. Through her business, she teaches other doctors how to deal with other people, how to advocate for themselves, and how to manage their minds around complications.
In this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, Dr. Vertrees shares her perspective on how to better approach difficult coworkers/partners. She has us take a step back from the pain and frustration that comes with working with someone who causes us distress at work, and helps us to look at the situation in a way that will allow us to have more fruitful interactions with them. By the end of this episode, you'll also have some tools that you can use for the next time you encounter that difficult someone, so I really hope you find this discussion both useful and entertaining!

Give yourself a pat on the back! You made it through to the other side of the holiday season and now we have a new year to look forward to!
Even if you love the holidays and cherish the time that you get to spend with family, there are often some tough moments, especially for those of us on a weight loss journey. Whether it's food pushers, fighting relatives, or increased temptation with treats, they can make the holidays a bit harder. I know that this is definitely the case for me!
After the holidays I find that it's really helpful to do a quick debrief with myself about how things went. I like to check in with the good, the bad, and what could go differently next time. So that's what we're doing in this week's episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast.
We'll get in touch with our wise, compassionate minds, and look back at the holidays to really give ourselves the props we deserve, and think about where we maybe need some support for the next time around. And at the end, I talk about a New Year's Health Challenge that I'm hosting on the Vibrant-MD Facebook group. It's a great way to set healthful intentions moving into the new year, and there will be great prizes every day for lucky participants. The challenge will start January 7th, so be sure to join the Facebook group to get all the news about it.Welcome to 2024, I'm so glad you're here with me!

I think it's fair to say that we would all like to stay healthy, active, independent, and vibrant through midlife and far beyond into the later years of life. Because after all, what's not to love? It means being able to enjoy more of the things we enjoy for longer, and not having to think about the physical tasks required to get through everyday life. It's a win-win situation!
One of the best ways to make this a possibility for ourselves as we continue to age, is through strength training for functional fitness. Starting in our late 30's and early 40's, we start to lose muscle mass, and as you'll hear in this episode, having and maintaining muscle mass is one of the best ways to ensure that we can move through our environments as we want.
And I know what some of you professional women may be thinking? "Aren't I going to bulk up? Won't I put on too much muscle if I start to lift weights?" I grew up hearing these things too, but the short and sweet answer is NO. We can only benefit from including strength training in our workout regiment through midlife and beyond.
So, without further adieu, I'm so happy to introduce this episode's guest, who was kind enough to join me to share all of his wisdom about the benefits of strength training for functional fitness. Marcus Eckert is the co-owner and operator of NorthBound Training, a CrossFit gym based out of Little Canada, MN. He and his wife founded NBT out of a passion for people and fitness, and their goal is to help people realize what it means to be fit, and how hard work in the gym can lead to a far better life outside of it. They believe that everybody, regardless of their age or experience level with fitness, is an athlete, and their bread and butter is helping people gain functional movement and strength.

Amongst all the hype surrounding some of the new obesity medications that have come out in recent years, and an emphasis on lifestyle modification to lose weight, it can be really hard for people thinking of starting a weight loss journey to know where to start.
So today on the Vibrant-MD Podcast, with the help of obesity medicine specialist, Dr. Nikita Shah, we're going to try to make the decision a bit easier by shedding some light on how obesity medicine doctors think about the debate between obesity medications and lifestyle modifications when it comes to advising their patients. We get into discussing the role that genes play in obesity, treating underlying diseases, the marvels of modern medicine, and so much more.
Something that really stuck with me from this episode was a moment when Dr. Shah said that it only takes a 5-10% change in weight to drastically change your health, and that is the ultimate goal with weight loss. So whether you choose medication, lifestyle modification, or a combination of both, you're making a decision that will help you live a longer, happier, more vibrant life.

Did you know that it takes somewhere between 90 seconds and 5 minutes to fully process an emotion?
In this episode, with the help of Dr. Arpita Gupta DePalma, we're going to be looking at anger and how it shows up in our lives as professional women and people on our final weight loss journeys.
Anger is a tricky emotion for a lot of us to come to terms with, because it means coming to term with all the other negative feelings that we might be having. Jumping to anger gives us a false sense of feeling in control, which can be comforting in the moment, but what we're really doing is avoiding the root cause of the anger; the other negative feelings that it's masking.
Here's where anger becomes really complex. When it is left unattended, it has a way of manifesting into our actions, some of which are less conspicuous than others. For so many professional women that I work with, this looks like eating as a way of buffering their anger.
In this episode, Dr. Arpita Gupta DePalma and I look at the anatomy of anger, we apply it to specific cases that I've encountered in my coaching, and she shares the comprehensive approach to processing anger that she uses in her coaching. There are some real gems of knowledge in this episode that I'm sure will transform the way you think about how anger shows up in your life.
For some more context about Dr. DePalma, she is a pediatrician and the founder of Thought Work, MD, an organization designed help physicians and professional women learn how to identify, manage, and then let go of what is not serving them through transformational mindset coaching. After completing her coaching certification with The Life Coach School in 2021, she went on to become certified as a Trauma Informed Professional Coach (TIPC) with Lodestar, and then earned her certification as an Advanced Deep Dive Coach with Dev Aron in 2023.
Arpita specializes in helping clients with anger management, time management, perfectionism and self-worth issues, parenting and cultural disparities, business development, and any other area they want to up-level in their lives. She is the host of her podcast, Doctors Living Deliberately, where she shares tools to help physicians live intentionally while remembering their "why."

"You are already whole and complete as you are."
Feel the power in those words and let them sink in. This idea of being whole and complete is central to the Ayurvedic arts, and when I first encountered it, I remember feeling like a weight had lifted off of my shoulders. I hope you do too as you listen to this episode!
Today, I'm joined by Dr. Rashmi Schramm to talk about how the practice of Ayurveda can be a great tool in weight loss. Dr. Schramm is a Board Certified physician, a certified coach, and a certified Ayurveda and Meditation teacher. She specializes in helping busy women tap into their own inner peace and power so they can confidently live more energetic and purposeful lives.
If you've never encountered Ayurveda or the practice of mindfulness, this episode is a great place to start. Dr. Schramm starts by beautifully guiding us through her understanding of what Ayurveda is, and as the episode progresses, we examine how it can be used by women in midlife, women on their weight loss journeys, and women in menopause/peri-menopause as a tool for decreasing stress and finding greater inner peace.
If you're interested in learning more about Dr. Schramm's work after listening to this episode, please check out her website or any of her social media pages (links below). Dr. Rashmi offers private and small group coaching programs. She loves hosting transformational in person retreats and her signature small group program, The Power Within, is set to open registration soon.

I like to think that the holiday season strolls in each year with the best of intentions, but without knowing, it usually brings some baggage that we could do without- especially those of us on our final weight loss journey.
There's always an abundance of food and drink, often times there are family stressors, routines change, and all of this adds up to make weight loss seem impossible at this time of the year. But don't worry, you can get through it and I'm going to help you!
In this episode, I talk about the two most important things to avoid this holiday season to help you along your weight loss journey: mindless eating and giving in to pressures to eat and drink. I share my favorite tips on how to stay mindful while eating, and offer strategies for fending off the pressure from family and friends that you might encounter at gatherings.
The holidays aren't easy, but I hope that this episode can help you to avoid some of the baggage that the holidays carry with them.

Do you think miracle drugs exist?
I think most doctors (myself included) would say that they don't exist, but after hearing my guest, Dr. Lina Qazi, talk about some of the weight loss medications out on the market, we can at least say that science has produced some pretty incredible medicine!
Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are just a couple of the numerous weight loss medications that obesity medicine doctors like Dr. Qazi prescribe their patients. They all work similarly in the sense that they're GLP-1 agonists, so what differentiates them? And if I'm a patient, how do I know which one is right for me?
In this episode, Dr. Qazi explains the differences between each of these drugs, from their mechanisms, to how they're administered, to when they're covered by insurance or not. She lays it all out very clearly so that patients can understand what they're being prescribed and why.
After all, as a board-certified family medicine physician who specializes in lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine, she is an expert in this field and has helped many many people lose upwards of 50 pounds with these drugs. She preaches the importance and power of making changes to lifestyle as a route to weight loss, and in this episodes speaks about cases where lifestyle changes and use of these medication helped her patients reach their healthy weight goals.
If after listening to this episode you want to learn more about the work that Dr. Qazi is doing, be sure to check out the links below. Dr. Qazi is the founder of Thrive Lifestyle Medicine, a concierge weight care practice out of Herndon, Virginia. She is currently taking patients and would love to hear from any of you!
