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

100. Break it Down

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

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2024/01/10

As professional women, we've had to learn a lot of things to make it in the career we chose.We took classes, attended years of school, and entered into the workforce ready to apply all that we've learned, but, as I'm sure almost all of us found out, there was still so much we needed to learn beyond didactics and practical knowledge in order to find success. A big part of work is learning how to communicate with your coworkers/partners, managing your emotions, and understanding how our

2024/01/03

Give yourself a pat on the back! You made it through to the other side of the holiday season and now we have a new year to look forward to! Even if you love the holidays and cherish the time that you get to spend with family, there are often some tough moments, especially for those of us on a weight loss journey. Whether it's food pushers, fighting relatives, or increased temptation with treats, they can make the holidays a bit harder. I know that this is definitely the case for me! After

97. Functional Fitness for Midlife and Beyond with...

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/12/27

I think it's fair to say that we would all like to stay healthy, active, independent, and vibrant through midlife and far beyond into the later years of life. Because after all, what's not to love? It means being able to enjoy more of the things we enjoy for longer, and not having to think about the physical tasks required to get through everyday life. It's a win-win situation! One of the best ways to make this a possibility for ourselves as we continue to age, is through strength training

Amongst all the hype surrounding some of the new obesity medications that have come out in recent years, and an emphasis on lifestyle modification to lose weight, it can be really hard for people thinking of starting a weight loss journey to know where to start.

94. Stop Eating Your Anger with Dr. Arpita Gupta DePalma

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/12/05

Did you know that it takes somewhere between 90 seconds and 5 minutes to fully process an emotion? In this episode, with the help of Dr. Arpita Gupta DePalma, we're going to be looking at anger and how it shows up in our lives as professional women and people on our final weight loss journeys. Anger is a tricky emotion for a lot of us to come to terms with, because it means coming to term with all the other negative feelings that we might be having.Jumping to anger gives us a false sense of

92. Two Things to Avoid this Holiday Season

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/11/22

I like to think that the holiday season strolls in each year with the best of intentions, butwithout knowing, it usually brings some baggage that we could do without- especially those of us on our final weight loss journey. There's always an abundance of food and drink, often times there are family stressors, routines change, and all of this adds up to make weight loss seem impossible at this time of the year. But don't worry, you can get through it and I'm going to help you! In this

91. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, oh my! With Dr. Lina Qazi

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/11/15

Do you think miracle drugs exist? I think most doctors (myself included) would say that they don't exist, but after hearing my guest, Dr. Lina Qazi, talk about some of the weight loss medications out on the market, we can at least say that science has produced some pretty incredible medicine! Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are just a couple of the numerous weight loss medications that obesity medicine doctors like Dr. Qazi prescribe their patients. They all work similarly in the sense that

90. Sitting, Dementia, and Weight Loss

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/11/08

"Sitting is the new smoking." You've probably heard this before, and I'll admit that it's a bit provocative, but there is a lot of truth to the fact that sedentary lifestyles lead to greater risks of cardiovascular and cardio-metabolic diseases. Now, there's a new study out in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) saying that sitting may increase the chances of dementia. Let's get into this a bit more! In this episode, I dive into the details of the article and break it

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/11/01

Sleep is not just a luxury. It's a biological necessity that keeps us going and allows us to operate at our best.As professional women with careers, families, and hobbies, it's so easy to forget this and let sleep get pushed aside to create more waking hours- which is why I'm so happy to have had Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown as a guest on the podcast to help us with our sleep health.

88. Urinary Urgency, Hydration, and Weight Loss

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/10/28

I'm sure you all have heard time and time again that it's important to drink water, and this seems obvious, right? It's the healthiest drink option and our bodies need it to perform their basic functions. But when it comes to weight loss, there's so many more benefits that drinking water provides. In this episode, we're going to get into those benefits, such as raising metabolism and providing feelings of satiation, as well as urinary urgency. Urinary urgency is something that many women in

86. Hunger?

Vibrant Menopause Podcast ·

2023/10/11

We can all define hunger with our words, but when it comes down to it, can we describe how it feels within our own bodies? As professional women, odds are that our worlds are constantly full of an abundance of food, which also means that we have the opportunity to never feel hungry if we don't want to. So when I tell people to eat 3 meals with proper spacing in-between so they can feel hungry before the next meal, it's not always clear what the signs of hunger truly consist of. In this
