    I have learned a lot from this podcast. My favorites are the episodes with Tony - so informative! A request - an episode about strength training with hypermobility, which seems to get even more challenging in perimenopause.

  • Get better microphones!

    The audio is awful. It’s so hard to listen to any episode because of the terrible audio. The most recent episode I had to turn off because I could not listen to all the sounds from them inhaling.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best Of The Body Pod - Rethinking Nighttime Nutrition: Dr. Mike Ormsbee on Sleep, Metabolism & Fat Loss
Q: What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting for midlife women?
It depends on the individual; it can be a useful tool to shorten the eating window and control calories, but it should fit the person's lifestyle and not be forced if it doesn't work for them. Exercise appears to enhance benefits when combined with pre-sleep protein, and fasting plans should consider activity level and metabolic response.
Permission to Pause: Brooke Burke on Wellness Retreats, Midlife & Finding Your Way Back to You
Q: What is transformational letter writing and why is it important in the retreat context?
Transformational letter writing is a process to get honest with yourself and others, write from someone else's perspective, and then possibly burn the letter to symbolize release; it's about healing, not about showing the letters to anyone.
Why You Can't Sleep: The Science of Insomnia, Hormones, and How to Fix Your Sleep for Good with Dr. Aric Prather
Q: How should midlife women approach sleep issues during menopause and hormonal changes?
Recognize that sleep disruption can be hormonally driven and historically under-addressed; seek evidence-based treatments such as CBTI and acknowledge that sleep patterns change with age, so expectations should adapt rather than blame.
Why You Can't Sleep: The Science of Insomnia, Hormones, and How to Fix Your Sleep for Good with Dr. Aric Prather
Q: What is the true definition of insomnia and how prevalent is it?
Insomnia symptoms include difficulty falling or staying asleep and waking up too early with daytime tiredness, affecting a substantial portion of adults; while insomnia disorder is less common, affecting around 10% of the population.
Building Muscle in Midlife: Hypertrophy Training, Bone Density, and Fat Loss for Women with Holly Baxter
Q: Is there a time when high-load, low-rep training is more appropriate for midlife women?
Yes. While hypertrophy-focused higher-rep work is effective for muscle growth, occasional strength-oriented, low-rep, high-load sets can support bone density and functional strength; the overall program should balance goals, joint health, and individual needs.
