  • Decoding Myths About Hunger

    Decoding Myths About Hunger
    May 15 2026
    I am so excited to welcome back my friend Dr. Jason Fung, a world-renowned nephrologist and expert on intermittent fasting, to discuss his groundbreaking new book. In this episode, we peel back the layers on why the traditional "calories in, calories out" model is a complete failure and how hormones truly dictate our weight. You will discover the three distinct types of hunger and learn why your struggles with weight are rarely a matter of willpower or discipline. What you’ll learn: (00:00) Why the biggest lie about hunger is that it signals nutrient need. (00:48) What homeostatic hunger is and how hormones control it. (01:35) How emotional (hedonic) hunger drives overeating behaviors. (02:16) Why ultra-processed foods amplify reward pathways in the brain. (03:02) How conditioned habits create hunger even without physical need. (04:25) Why the calories in calories out model fails in real life. (06:23) How sleep, stress, and environment influence how much you eat. (08:40) Why hormonal changes (like perimenopause) impact weight gain.

  • Balancing Hormones and Thyroid Health with Dr. Amie Hornaman

    Balancing Hormones and Thyroid Health with Dr. Amie Hornaman
    May 13 2026
    Could your “normal” labs be missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck? I’m joined by Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as The Thyroid Fixer, to talk about why so many women over 40 are told their labs are normal while still feeling tired, foggy, inflamed, and unable to lose weight. We dig into thyropause, Hashimoto’s, reverse T3, thyroid medication, and the exact labs women should ask for if they want real answers. My hope is that this episode helps you stop blaming yourself and start testing, advocating, and getting the support your body actually needs. What you’ll learn: (06:28) Why Dr. Amie Hornaman believes “thyropause” deserves more attention for women over 40. (07:56) Why standard thyroid testing often misses what is actually happening inside the body. (11:20) How Hashimoto’s, hormonal shifts, stress, toxins, and autoimmune triggers may contribute to thyroid issues. (13:15) Why TSH alone may not tell the full story of your thyroid health. (14:43) How reverse T3 can push the body into a survival-mode state that slows metabolism. (17:22) Which thyroid labs Dr. Hornaman recommends asking your doctor to run. (24:30) How thyroid symptoms and perimenopause symptoms can overlap and influence one another. (43:35) How GLP-1s, inflammation, and thyroid optimization may intersect when used appropriately.

  • What Dietary Guidelines Get Right and Wrong

    What Dietary Guidelines Get Right and Wrong
    May 11 2026
    What would nutrition guidelines designed specifically for women over 40 look like? I'm breaking down the latest dietary guidelines to show you why following generalized advice during a non-generic phase of life will only lead to generic results. My mission is to help you move from simply preventing deficiencies to optimizing your metabolism by prioritizing a muscle-first approach and high-quality whole foods. It is time we stop playing the percentage game and start focusing on the specific nutritional needs women over 40 require to age powerfully. What you’ll learn: (02:01) Why the minimum protein recommendation is not the same as the optimal amount for women who want to thrive. (03:39) How dairy can be a powerful source of leucine and protein, but only if your body responds well to it. (05:09) Why JJ believes fat recommendations should focus more on food quality than abstract percentages. (07:05) How ultra-processed foods and rancid fats can affect obesity, metabolic health, and inflammation. (07:55) Why managing added sugar by the numbers can keep you stuck thinking about sugar. (08:38) How alcohol can slow fat oxidation, disrupt sleep, and interfere with recovery. (11:21) Why menopause changes protein, fiber, carbohydrate, and muscle-support needs after 40. (13:36) How to shift from generic food rules to results-driven nutrition that supports metabolism and aging powerfully. Love the podcast? Here’s what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.
