Strength, Sanity & Starting Small: Health at Midlife
In this episode of Talkin' Sh*t, we’re cutting through the noise of midlife health advice and getting real about what actually works. Jana is joined by Kim Duffy—a registered dietitian and personal trainer who’s been in the game since '95—to talk about what it really takes to stay strong, feel good, and ditch the scale obsession after 40.
We get into:
💪 Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40
🍳 How protein and blood sugar balance are game changers for energy and mood
🧠 The truth about menopause myths—and why aging doesn’t mean giving up
💥 Why slow, consistent progress beats burnout every time
🚫 The problem with trainers prescribing 1,200-calorie crash diets
Whether you’re frustrated by perimenopause, tired of feeling like you’re failing, or just want to feel good in your body again—this episode is your permission slip to stop doing the most and start doing what works.
Because being healthy after 40 isn’t about chasing your 20-year-old body—it’s about owning your now.
Pour a glass, press play, and let’s talk some sh*t.

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.
