Episodi

  • In this groundbreaking episode, I'm tackling one of the most frustrating challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause: metabolic changes that seem to happen overnight. Drawing from cutting-edge research and decades of experience, I reveal why that stubborn belly fat appears and - more importantly - the science-backed strategy to reverse it. I'm sharing my four-pillar approach that helps women reclaim their metabolism, build crucial muscle mass, and finally see results. This isn't just another weight loss plan - it's a complete roadmap for understanding and optimizing your midlife metabolism.

    What you'll learn:

    The real reason your metabolism changes during menopause (hint: it's not just about estrogen)

    Why traditional calorie restriction often backfires and what to do instead

    The critical role of protein timing and how much you actually need

    A game-changing approach to exercise that specifically targets belly fat

    How sleep quality directly impacts your ability to lose weight

    The truth about hormone replacement therapy and metabolism

    Simple daily habits that can boost your metabolic rate

  • "After my car accident, I discovered that trauma wasn't the only cause of leaky brain - chronic stress, poor sleep, and inflammation can all compromise our brain's protective barrier. The good news? Just like leaky gut, leaky brain can be healed." - Dr. Titus Chiu

    In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with functional neurologist Dr. Titus Chiu to explore the fascinating concept of "leaky brain" and its profound impact on cognitive health, especially for women in midlife.

    Dr. Chiu's personal journey from a devastating accident to becoming a leading expert in brain health offers hope and practical solutions for anyone experiencing brain fog, memory issues, or cognitive decline. His groundbreaking research reveals how the blood-brain barrier functions like a nightclub bouncer, carefully controlling what enters our most precious organ - and what happens when that security system breaks down.

    Whether you're navigating perimenopause, recovering from a concussion, or simply wanting to maintain sharp cognitive function, this episode delivers actionable strategies to protect and enhance your brain health.

    What you'll learn:

    The surprising connection between leaky gut and leaky brain, and why women in perimenopause may be particularly vulnerable

    How to recognize the warning signs of a compromised blood-brain barrier, from brain fog to unexplained cognitive fluctuations

  • "I really thought I was going to sail through menopause... until I didn't have it all figured out. I started going into early menopause at 42, and that's when everything changed." - Karen Martel

    Today, I sit down with hormone expert Karen Martel, to dive deep into the truth about perimenopause, menopause, weight gain, and hormone replacement therapy.

    As a nutritionist who experienced early menopause herself, Karen shares invaluable insights about why the conventional "calories in, calories out" approach fails so many women in midlife. Together, we explore why even health-conscious women who "do everything right" can still struggle with unexplained weight gain, mood changes, and other perimenopausal symptoms.

    Karen reveals game-changing information about estrogen's crucial role in metabolic health and why starting hormone replacement at the right time can make all the difference in your journey through menopause.

    If you're tired of being told it's "all in your head" or that you need to “eat less and exercise more”, this episode will validate you and arm you with the knowledge you need to take control of your hormonal health.

    What you'll learn:

    Why conventional advice about menopause and metabolism is often wrong, especially for women over 40

    The surprising connection between estrogen levels and insulin resistance in midlife

    How to recognize early signs of perimenopause that most doctors miss

    Why the timing of starting hormone replacement therapy matters more than most realize

    The truth about progesterone dosing and why "more" isn't always better

    How modern environmental factors trigger earlier onset of perimenopausal symptoms

She opens up about her innovative training approach, combining underwater workouts, heat exposure, and strategic strength training—designed not solely for physical gains, but also for building mental resilience.

    What truly sets this conversation apart is Gabby's candid discussion about navigating her marriage to fellow athlete, Laird Hamilton, raising three daughters in today's sometimes overwhelming world, and finding the delicate balance between being a powerful woman and embracing vulnerability in her relationships.

Tune in for a paradigm-shifting discussion on how understanding the true role of visceral fat is key to sustainable weight loss, especially for women over 40.

  • "Good energy is fundamentally about giving your body what it needs to thrive. When we do this, our cells work better, our hormones balance, and we feel absolutely incredible." - Dr. Casey Means

    In this eye-opening episode, I sat down with Dr. Casey Means, Stanford-trained physician, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Good Energy," and co-founder of Levels, to unpack the truth about America's metabolic health crisis—and more importantly, how we can naturally optimize our body's energy systems. As women over 40, understanding our metabolic health is crucial not just for weight management, but for sustained energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality. Dr. Means shares groundbreaking insights about how we can naturally boost our body's production of key hormones like GLP-1 (the same hormone in popular weight loss medications) through simple dietary and lifestyle changes. Her approach proves that we don't need expensive prescriptions to feel our best—we just need to work with our body's natural wisdom.

    What you'll learn:

    Why 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what this means for your health

    The three key factors of "bad energy" that drive metabolic dysfunction

    Natural ways to boost your body's production of satiety hormones without medications

  • "Sometimes at midlife, we stop doing the things we think we should be doing, and start focusing on what we truly want to do. That's when we find that inner peace." - James Davis

    Are you navigating the complex waters of midlife relationships? In this enlightening episode, I sit down with James and Claire Davis, founders of Midlife Mentors, to explore the transformative journey of relationships after 40. Having met in their late thirties/early forties and now running a successful business together, they bring a unique perspective on finding love, maintaining connections, and reinventing ourselves during this pivotal life stage. As someone who found my own love story at 52, I was particularly moved by their insights on how our values shift during midlife and why this period can become our greatest opportunity for growth and authentic connection. James and Claire share their personal journey of maintaining intimacy while working together, including their courageous decision to seek marriage counseling—proving that investing in our relationships is just as crucial as investing in our careers.

    What you'll learn:

    Why midlife isn't a crisis but an opportunity for reinvention and deeper self-discovery

    How hormonal changes affect both men and women's relationships and what you can do about it

    The surprising truth about friendship transitions during midlife and why they're actually healthy

    Key strategies for maintaining intimacy and connection while navigating major life changes

    Why investing in your relationship is crucial and how to do it effectively
