Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/07/10

Have you ever tried intermittent fasting, lost a few pounds, but then seemingly got stuck on a weight plateau? If you have, don't worry, this story is incredibly common and it usually stems from one thing: we forget to keep the "intermittent" in "intermittent fasting. What I mean by this is that as humans we have a tendency to fall into behavioral patterns, and in turn, our bodies adopt a new homeostasis to accommodate the changes. It's all in the name of keeping us alive!So when somebod...

116. Snack Food Companies are Coming for You

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/06/12

It's no surprise to anybody that the big snack food companies of the world have been sneaking around for decades now- plotting how to get their processed products into our pantries and ultimately our stomachs. It really started in the 80s when the idea of snacking while watching TV was introduced, and it's only grown from there.Over time, snack food marketing has successfully shifted our eating habits from one where we ate three dedicated meals per day, to erratic eating throughout the day th...

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/06/05

The gut-brain connection has been THE hot topic in academic and popular science for a while now because of the incredible evidence that's come out to support its validity. But as humans, we've known, or at least intuited, that there's some sort of connection for much longer. Just think about the ubiquity of the phrases "listen to your gut" or "butterflies in my stomach"!Now, combine our long-standing human intuition with the rapidly stacking evidence from studies, and what we're left with is ...

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/05/29

One in every four workers in the US works the night shift. So when the sun goes down and the other 3/4ths are getting ready for bed, they're starting their day of work. If you've never experienced this before, take a moment to think about the unique challenges this kind of work poses...You might be wondering things like, "when are they supposed to eat?", "how do they spend time with their families?", "when do they sleep?", "how do they get good quality sleep?", etc... And these are all very v...

113. Brain Health Eating with Dr. Annie Fenn

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/05/23

Something I've noticed in myself and with clients is that when us women hit midlife, we start to see our brains changing with menopause. Most frequently we observe more brain fog and difficulty recalling words. Inevitably, we then begin to consider what our future cognitive health looks like, and turn to family members to try to get a glimpse into the what might lie ahead.There's no denying that these changes are daunting, especially if you weren't expecting them, but fortunately for us, ther...

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/05/15

If you're like me who grew up in the '80s, you'll probably remember the seasonal color analysis trend that gained huge popularity. Now, fast forward to 2024 and it's back and more specific than ever before, with new categories and analysis protocols that are allowing people to really narrow in on the exact clothing, jewelry, hair, and nail color palettes that suit them the best.My guest today, Jeannie Stith, is a color analysis expert and the founder of Your Color Guru, and she's been a leade...

110. What's Your Kryptonite

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/04/18

This week we're back with a shorter episode, but it addresses a question that's really important toacknowledge and have in the back of your mind when on a weight loss journey. Thatquestion, of course, is "what's your Krytonite?"In the context of weight loss, I generally think of "kryptonite" as irresistible food items; things that, more often than not, cause you to succumb to their power. For many it's chocolate or ice cream, or for others it's bread or pasta. But unlike Superman, however,

2024/04/11

It's well known that the Mediterranean Diet is among one of the healthiest eating styles in the world, but when you look at all of its components it can cause confusion. So in this episode of the Vibrant-MD Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined by fellow doctor, believer in food as medicine, and midlife weight loss specialist, Dr Caissa Troutman.

Have you ever wondered how the midlife, menopause-age actresses of Hollywood keep their skin looking vibrant and healthy while under the scrupulous eye of the camera? Well, it's thanks in no small part to people like today's guest, Helen Marray-Finlay - a skincare expert, Hollywood makeup artist, and the founder of Finlay+Green!Through her work, and as a woman going through menopause, Helen realized that there was a lack of safe and effective skincare products specifically formulated for

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/03/06

Feeling our best starts and ends with quality sleep, butas we get into midlife, sometimes the "quality" part starts to slip away from us. Whether it's increased waking throughout the night, difficulty falling asleep, or general unrestful sleep, these disturbances make the rest of our day much more difficult, and as professional women, that's the last thing we need!That's why I'm so pleased to share this episode, which is a terrific conversation with the one and only Morgan Adams - a

106. Indecision Kills Weight Loss

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/02/28

Weight loss really works when you've made the mental commitment to staying on that path, and you have the support systems in place to hold you accountable. The worst place to be is in a state of indecision, which is what we'll dive into in this episode!A good analogy for this conundrum that so many people face is when you're driving and there's a fork in the road. To the right, the road leads you home - a place that you know well and you're comfortable with. To the left, the road leads to

105. I Don't Want to be THAT Person

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/02/21

Is there a person that you're afraid of becoming while on your weight loss journey? I so frequently hear from the professional women that I work with that they're excited to have their personalized meal plans, but they're worried about what their new way of eating is going to look like when it comes to family/friend gatherings. They're worried that they'll have to justify themselves to people, that food will be pushed upon them and they'll have to say no, or that they'll be perceived as bad

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/02/14

I hear it so frequently from the professional women that I work with that they wish they had more time to do all of the things that they want/need to do. And it's true! As high-achieving women with so many things that we want to do plus all the regular responsibilities of life, 24 hours seems like it flies by. But what if I told you that you could get back at least 10 hours of your time per week? Imagine what you could do then! Well, my guest this week on the Vibrant-MD Podcast, Dr. Ann

101. Don't Take Ozempic for Menopause Weight Gain

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/01/24

If you've been listening to the podcast for a while now, you've probably heard me and a couple of my guests talk about Ozempic. It's an injectable weight loss medication that has been in the news a lot as of recent times, andit's become so popular that, in many places, it's hard to find in pharmacies. So if it's this popular it must be a miracle drug, right? Well, in certain situations it can really help people lose weight, and it's worth giving it credit where it's due. However, it's

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/01/18

Let's stop to take a moment to look back on how far we've come as professional women. We've worked incredibly hard, learned all the lessons (both good and bad), and we should be proud of all that we've accomplished! As we look back, let's think about all the steps, twists, and turns that we took along the path toget to where we are now. We've come a long way, but for most of us, our accomplishments didn't come in one fell swoop. They were the results of breaking down the journey into
