    Peptides and Longevity: Hype or Helpful? with Dr. Christine Boev

    Peptides are one of the fastest-growing topics in health and wellness, with claims ranging from improved recovery and muscle growth to better metabolic health, healthier skin, and increased longevity. But how much of the excitement is backed by science? In this episode of Wellness After 40, I sit down with Dr. Christine Boev to explore what peptides are, how they work in the body, and who may benefit from them. We discuss the current state of peptide therapy, potential risks and benefits, common misconceptions, and why peptides should be viewed as one piece of a larger wellness strategy—not a replacement for healthy habits. Whether you're curious about peptides for aging, recovery, body composition, or overall wellness, this conversation will help you better understand the science and separate fact from fiction. In this episode, we discuss: • What peptides are and how they work • Potential benefits for recovery, metabolic health, and longevity • Common myths and misconceptions about peptide therapy • Risks, considerations, and who may not be a good candidate • Why medical guidance matters when considering peptides • How peptides fit alongside nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle habits Connect with Dr. Christine Boev: Website: https://vitalize-fitness.com/bio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchristineboev/ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow Wellness After 40, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

    Wired, Tired & Gaining Weight? The Truth About Cortisol in Midlife with Gunjan Bhalla

    Cortisol gets blamed for everything in midlife—poor sleep, stubborn weight, feeling constantly on edge. But it’s not that simple. In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really happening in your body when it comes to stress and cortisol—and more importantly, how to support your body so it can actually recover. I’m joined by Gunjan Bhalla, who takes a more holistic approach to stress by focusing on nutrition, nervous system regulation, and sustainable lifestyle shifts that help your body come out of that constant “go” mode. If you’ve been feeling wired, tired, or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to—this one is for you. Connect with Gunjin: 👉 Instagram: @gonatural_5 Want to go deeper?

    Cancer Prevention, Early Detection & Screenings for Women Over 40 with Rebecca Maff, Cancer Biologist

    What should women over 40 actually be paying attention to when it comes to cancer prevention and early detection? In this episode of Wellness After 40, I sit down with cancer biologist and TEDx speaker Rebecca Maff for a conversation about cancer screenings, prevention, overlooked health changes, and the importance of proactive care in midlife. We discuss why certain cancer screening guidelines are changing, what women should know about breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer awareness, and how subtle shifts in the body can sometimes be dismissed as “just aging,” stress, or hormones. Rebecca also shares insight into the future of cancer detection, the role of AI in healthcare, and why understanding your body and advocating for your health matters more than ever after 40. In this episode, we discuss:  Cancer prevention and proactive healthcare after 40  Why colorectal cancer screenings now begin at age 45  Breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer awareness  Subtle health changes women often dismiss in midlife  The importance of routine screenings and family history  Early detection and evolving healthcare technology  AI and the future of cancer research and diagnosis  Stress, overall health, and long-term wellness Connect with Rebecca:  Instagram: @rebeccamaff  TEDx Talk: Watch Rebecca’s TEDx Talk Visit my website for more episodes and wellness resources:  Living Well With Katie If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow Wellness After 40, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who may benefit from it.

    GLP-1s After 40 with Dr. Boev: What Women Need to Know

    GLP-1s, GIP, and weight loss medications are everywhere right now....but what do they actually do in the body, and are they the right choice after 40? In this episode of Wellness After 40, we talk with Dr. Boev about the most talked-about weight loss drugs today, including GLP-1 and GIP medications. She breaks down how these medications work, why they are effective for appetite and weight loss, and why so many women in midlife are considering them. This conversation also offers a more cautious perspective on these medications—especially when it comes to long-term health, muscle mass, and sustainability. Tune in as we cover:  What GLP-1 and GIP medications actually do in the body  Why weight loss can happen quickly—and what may be missed  The role of muscle mass and metabolism after 40  Why understanding food, nutrition, and “food noise” still matters  What can happen when you stop these medications  Alternative approaches to support weight loss and long-term health If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s or wondering if weight loss medications are the right choice in midlife, this episode will give you a clearer, more grounded understanding.

    Why Recovery Matters After 40: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Technology | with Lisa Benson of PAUSE

    We spend so much time focusing on workouts, nutrition, and doing more for our health—but what if the missing piece is actually recovery? In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Benson, founder of PAUSE East Cobb, to talk about why recovery becomes essential after 40 and how to better support your body as it changes. We dive into what recovery really means (beyond just rest), common misconceptions, and how practices rooted in ancient traditions—like sauna and cold exposure—are now being paired with modern technology to support energy, strength, and long-term health. While these methods have been used for centuries, there is also a growing body of research supporting their role in reducing inflammation, improving circulation, aiding muscle recovery, and supporting overall wellness and longevity. If you’ve been feeling run down, low energy, or like your body just needs a different kind of support—this conversation will give you a new perspective on how to approach your health.

    Why What Worked in Your 30s Isn’t Working Anymore at 40

    If you feel like you’re doing all the “right” things — working out, staying active, trying to take care of yourself — but your body just isn’t responding the same way anymore… this episode is for you. In your 30s, certain habits worked. You could rely on cardio, push through low sleep, stay consistent “enough,” and still feel good in your body. But in your 40s, your physiology changes, and those same habits don’t always give you the same results. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the specific habits that stop working after 40, what’s actually happening in your body, and how to adjust in a way that supports your strength, energy, and overall health moving forward. This isn’t about doing more.  It’s about understanding what your body actually needs now. In this episode, we cover:  Why cardio alone stops being as effective after 40  What’s really happening with sleep, cortisol, and recovery  How alcohol impacts your body differently in midlife  Why inconsistency hits harder now than it used to  The role of mobility, joint health, and hormonal changes If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend or someone who might need to hear it.
