Are you doing all the “right” things—eating less, working out more, and trying every health supplement and trend—but still feeling stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like yours? If the weight won’t budge, your energy is zapped, and nothing seems to work, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m cutting through the noise and breaking down the two absolute non-negotiables every midlife woman needs: lifting weights and eating protein. These aren’t just tips; they’re the foundation for reclaiming your strength, energy, and vitality in midlife.
We’ll dive into:
• Why weight gain in midlife isn’t about “calories in, calories out.”
• The real reasons your body is changing: hormones, inflammation, and insulin resistance.
• How lifting weights builds muscle, boosts metabolism, and improves overall health.
• Why protein is your midlife powerhouse—and how much you actually need.
• Overcoming common obstacles to strength training and eating enough protein.
I’m also sharing personal insights, practical tips, and encouragement to help you take action and get real results. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and guessing what your body needs, it’s time to stop DIYing your hormones and start getting testing and answers.

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.
