Today, I share how a positive mindset alone can add 7.5 years to your life, and why resistance training is non-negotiable for women over 40.

I had an incredible in-person conversation with Ben Azadi that’s going to revolutionize how you think about your metabolism! We dug deep into the science of metabolic flexibility and why it’s absolutely critical for women over 40. No more confusion about carbs or lengthy fasts – Ben breaks down exactly how to train your body to efficiently use both fat and sugar for fuel, plus the game-changing connection between your thoughts and cellular health that most doctors never discuss.
Ben’s journey from obesity and depression to becoming a leading voice in metabolic health proves what I’ve always said – mindset shifts must come before lasting physical transformation. Join us to learn why your thoughts literally program your DNA.

Recent headlines about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have created more confusion than clarity for women seeking sustainable weight loss solutions. As someone who’s spent decades helping women transform their bodies, I’m diving deep into what the research actually reveals about these medications – both the surprising benefits and the critical precautions.

More importantly, I’m sharing the essential foundation every woman needs before considering any weight loss approach, whether using GLP-1s or not. You’ll discover why protecting your muscle mass is non-negotiable after 40, how to measure your progress beyond the scale, and the exact protocol I use with clients to ensure healthy, sustainable fat loss while maintaining metabolism.

We dive deep into why the common forms of creatine can cause uncomfortable bloating for 76% of women – and how his innovative creatine HCL formulation is changing the game with superior absorption and none of the typical side effects.
We’ll explore the groundbreaking research showing creatine’s potential for supporting cognitive health and fighting neurodegeneration and how creatine can be a powerful ally during perimenopause and menopause for maintaining muscle, bone density and mental clarity.

In this game-changing episode, I’m challenging everything you thought you knew about exercise after 40. Forget the old rules about cardio being queen – I’m sharing why resistance training is actually your secret weapon for burning fat, building stronger bones, and even creating new brain neurons. Join me to learn the fascinating science behind myokines and how they boost brain health and immunity!
Drawing from my background in Exercise Physiology at USC and the latest research, I break down why it’s never too late to start lifting weights (yes, even at 85!), and how to begin safely and effectively. Discover why those gym machines aren’t just for twenty somethings, and how building muscle becomes your metabolic superpower.

In this energizing episode, I sat down with Jennifer Joy Jimenez, transformational leader and founder of the Brave Thinking Institute’s health and wellbeing division, to explore how conscious movement can revolutionize both physical and emotional wellbeing after 40. Jennifer shares her powerful journey from professional dancer battling body shame to pioneering Transcendance, an innovative blend of movement, mindfulness, and energy healing. The science is clear – social dance can decrease Alzheimer’s risk by up to 76% while flooding our bodies with mood-boosting hormones. We dive deep into how incorporating just minutes of mindful movement daily can transform stress, unlock creativity, and reignite joy at any age. Jennifer reveals practical strategies for breaking free from rigid exercise mindsets and embracing movement as medicine for both body and soul.
