177. Menopause Health Truths from Age Like a Girl: A Book Report

I am sharing a brand-new book that is transforming the conversation around menopause — Age Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz.
This book just came out this month, December 2025, and it’s already making waves because it reframes menopause in a way that feels powerful, hopeful, and totally aligned with how I help women over 50 approach health and lifestyle change.
If you’ve ever felt foggy, overwhelmed, exhausted, or like your body isn’t cooperating anymore — this book gives meaning to all of that. It reminds every woman going through menopause that she isn’t falling apart… she’s being rebuilt.
Today, I want to walk you through some of the biggest takeaways and why they matter — especially if you’re interested in building long-term health beyond the scale.

175. BACK TO YOU: Create a Personal Health and Habit Plan for 2026

Today’s episode is exactly what so many of us need right now, as we’re inching toward the holidays and staring down the final weeks of the year.
Let me ask you something: When was the last time you slowed down long enough to check in with yourself? Not your to-do list… Not your family… Not holiday plans or work deadlines…
You.
Because here’s the truth most women over 50 don’t realize until they’re deep in burnout mode:
👉 The biggest barrier to your health isn’t lack of willpower. It’s lack of connection—to yourself.
And that is exactly why I created the Back to You Workbook. 
It’s a free download and inside you’ll find four simple steps to return to your needs, your energy, your habits, and your future.
Today's episode walks you through the entire experience.
So grab your ear buds and your walking shoes and let’s go… Back. To. YOU.

174. Why Women Over 50 Shouldn't Diet Year-Round

You cannot live in a calorie deficit forever and keep losing fat. Not at 20. Not at 40. And definitely not at 50+.
Your body is too smart. Your hormones are too influential. Your metabolism is too adaptive.
And trying to white-knuckle your way through the holidays in a deficit? It's not impossible by any means but maybe not the best time. 
So today, we’re talking about your ENTIRE YEAR—how to use deficit, maintenance, and surplus phases intentionally to make progress without burnout.

173. Reimagining Your Health Beyond Age 50 (or 60!)

Today we’re talking menopause, midlife, and why the world has it completely upside down when it comes to weight management and vibrant health for women over 50. Because listen—this is NOT the downhill slide to death. This is NOT the beginning of the end. This is NOT the time where we “slow down,” “settle,” or “accept” anything less than vibrant health and very capable bodies. This season of life...Let’s make it your POWER SEASON.
