In this eye-opening episode, I am joined by Claudia Muehlenweg, founder of the Naturally Clear Vision Institute, who shares her remarkable journey of ditching glasses twice in her life through natural methods. As someone who has helped thousands improve their vision naturally, Claudia reveals why 80% of people over 45 need reading glasses – and more importantly, what we can do about it.
Claudia challenges the common belief that deteriorating vision is an inevitable part of aging, explaining how stress, artificial lighting, and even our relationship with sunglasses can impact our eyesight. From practical workspace setup tips to understanding the connection between vision and overall wellness, Claudia offers hope and actionable strategies for anyone looking to reduce their dependence on glasses.
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. Join me to learn the real reason your metabolism changes during menopause (hint: it’s not just about estrogen)!
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.
In this 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.
Today we’ll dive into the game-changing concept of exercise snacks – short bursts of movement that can transform your health even when you’re super busy. I’m busting the “I don’t have time” excuse wide open by showing you how just 1-2 minutes of movement, three times a day, can dramatically improve your insulin sensitivity, fat burning, heart health, and mood. You’ll discover why these micro-workouts are actually more effective for busy women than traditional long gym sessions, and I’ll share simple, equipment-free exercises you can do right at your desk or in your kitchen. Plus, I’m revealing the science behind why these quick movement breaks could be your secret weapon against age-related health issues.
Today, I sit down with hormone expert Karen Martel, to dive deep into the truth about perimenopause, menopause, weight gain, and hormone replacement therapy. 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 and the surprising connection between estrogen levels and insulin resistance in midlife.
In this eye-opening episode, I dive deep into the most common diet mistakes that derail progress, including the shocking truth about calorie tracking (even nutritionists get this wrong!), why protein timing is crucial for maintaining muscle mass during weight loss, and the real reason cardio might be working against your goals.
I also share specific strategies for tracking, essential tools for accurate measurement, and explain why focusing on body composition rather than just the number on the scale is key for lasting results.
