    Aging in Midlife: Longevity Expert Reveals What Really Drives It And What You Can Do About It

    What if aging isn’t random, but predictable, measurable, and modifiable? Longevity medicine isn’t about living forever. It’s about protecting your strength, cognition, metabolic health, and independence, especially in midlife. In this episode with Catherine Johnson MD, Longevity & Precision Health Expert, we unpack what longevity medicine actually means for women over 40 and why the real drivers of aging aren’t what most people think. This conversation is about understanding how metabolic health, hormones, muscle mass, sleep, and stress quietly shape your health span, the years you live well, not just long. You’ll learn: The difference between lifespan and health span Why midlife is a critical window for prevention How insulin resistance and cortisol influence weight gain and fatigue Why muscle is an organ of longevity, not just something aesthetic How stress shortens telomeres and accelerates aging Why “normal lab results” don’t always mean optimal health What actually moves the needle for long-term vitality Many women in their 40s and 50s say, “I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”They’re not dramatically unwell. They’re not in crisis. But something feels off. This conversation explains why. If you care about staying strong, sharp, and capable after 40, this episode will change how you think about aging.

    Midlife Sleep Masterclass: Waking Up At 3am? Here’s What's Happening!

    Can’t sleep through the night? In midlife, wake-ups, restless nights, and feeling unrefreshed are often misunderstood but they’re not your fault.  In this episode, we explore the real reasons sleep changes during perimenopause and menopause, and how to work with your body instead of against it. We bring together key conversations on sleep, hormones, alcohol, and the female brain.  If you fall asleep but wake at 3 a.m., feel wired yet exhausted, or struggle to feel rested no matter how long you sleep, this episode explains why: without fear, shame, or oversimplified “fixes.” You’ll hear why there’s no single “perfect” amount of sleep, how hormonal shifts reshape your sleep cycles, and why even one drink of alcohol can quietly sabotage restorative rest.  We also dive into something rarely discussed: sleep isn’t passive. While your body rests, your brain is actively processing emotion, filing memories, and softening the edges of daily stress. When sleep is disrupted, that work doesn’t happen— nd it shows up as irritability, anxiety, low mood, or burnout. Topics covered include: - Why sleep changes during perimenopause and menopause - How REM sleep supports emotional and mental health - The impact of estrogen and progesterone on sleep quality - Why more sleep isn’t always better and less sleep isn’t always the problem - Evidence-based, practical strategies to improve sleep without pressure or perfection If sleep has started to feel fragile, frustrating, or out of reach, this episode will help you reframe it, calm your nervous system, and stop blaming yourself.

    Expert Reveals Teen Drug Trends Every Parent Should Know About

    If you are raising a teenager, this conversation will change how you think about alcohol and drugs. Alcohol feels unavoidable, cannabis seems increasingly normalised, and parents are hearing about drugs they never encountered growing up. But what is actually happening? In this episode of All About You, Dr Shauna Watts is joined by Paul Dillon, founder of Drug and Alcohol Research and Training Australia (DARTA), to unpack the real data behind teen alcohol and drug use. The conversation is calm, evidence based, and free from fear driven messaging. With decades of experience working directly with schools, parents, and young people, Paul explains what the research really shows, why many assumptions are outdated, and how parents can reduce harm while maintaining trust and connection with their teens. This episode is for parents who want clarity rather than panic, and guidance that works in real family life. And if you want to learn more about:  • Why teen drinking is declining in Australia and internationally • What the evidence shows about alcohol and the developing teenage brain • Why delaying alcohol use matters, without unrealistic parenting rules • How parenting approaches have shifted and why that matters • Why ketamine is an emerging concern for young people • How drug access has changed, even when overall use has not increased • How to talk to teens about drugs without fear, shame, or overreaction • The difference between loss of potential and fear based brain damage messaging • Why one parenting approach rarely works for every child Learn more about the 16 week Rediscover You program here: 🔗https://youbydrshaunawatts.com.au/16-week-rediscover-you-menopause-program/ Leave a Voice Note Have a question about perimenopause, brain fog, anxiety, or midlife confidence?
