Do You Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

What if I told you the biggest threat to your midlife metabolism isn’t your age or your diet—it’s your office chair?

It’s true. Sitting for hours can double your risk for hormone-related metabolic issues in midlife like insulin resistance, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain. Plus, the more you sit, the less motivated you feel to move, leaving you in a cycle of exhaustion and frustration.

In this week’s episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on the hidden hormone damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle and sharing 5 quick tips to get your body--and your metabolism--moving again.

Tune in to learn the answers to some of your most commonly asked questions, including:

✅ How does sitting too much affect hormones?

✅ Is sitting really as bad as smoking?

✅ Can short workouts boost my metabolism in perimenopause?

✅ Is walking enough to lose weight after 40?

✅ What type of exercise is best for hormone balance?

✅ Does strength training help lower cortisol?

✅ Should I exercise every day?

If the only time you got up from your chair today was to reheat your lunch, this episode’s for you.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
