    Leaking, Lifting & Your Pelvic Floor in Midlife- With Dr. Caroline Packard

    You’ve been told a little leaking is just part of having kids or getting older. It’s common, but it’s not something you have to accept. This week I’m joined by Dr. Caroline Packard, Doctor of Physical Therapy, pelvic floor physical therapist & founder of Connect Pelvic Floor Fitness. Caroline’s own experience with pelvic floor dysfunction led her to build a program that helps women move from pelvic floor rehab into real, progressive strength training. We talk about the part of your core nobody mentions when they tell you to lift weights after 40, and why your pelvic floor belongs in every strength conversation, not just the ones that start after symptoms show up. In this episode, you’ll learn: What your pelvic floor actually does & how it works with your breath, core & overall strengthHow perimenopause, menopause & dropping estrogen change these muscles, and when to bring it up with your doctorWhy leaking when you sneeze, laugh or jump is common but not normalWhy Kegels aren’t the whole answerHow to breathe through a squat or a dumbbell row so you can try it at your next workoutWhether heavy lifting, jumping, running & pickleball hurt your pelvic floor or help itWhat leaking, heaviness or pressure during squats & deadlifts is telling you, and how to adjust without stoppingSimple things you can add to your routine now, even with zero symptomsWhen to see a pelvic floor PT & what actually happens at a first visitThe one thing Caroline wants you to do this weekIf you want to keep lifting, jumping, laughing & doing the things you love for decades to come, this conversation is for you.

    7 Things I Would NOT Do Between Halloween & New Year’s (45+ Fat Loss Edition)

    You don’t have to gain 5 pounds every holiday season, and you don’t have to go to extremes to avoid it. The stretch from Halloween to New Year’s is about 10 weeks long. For most women over 45, holiday weight gain doesn’t come from one big dinner. It comes from small habits that slip a little at a time. In this episode, I’m sharing the 7 things I would NOT do this holiday season, and the simple structure to use instead, so you can enjoy the food, the parties, and the people and still walk into January stronger. In this episode you’ll learn: Why “saving up” calories for a party backfiresHow to handle the Halloween candy without restrictingThe minimum strength routine that keeps you on track when life gets busyWhy the “start over Monday” mindset does more damage than the mealHow alcohol and short sleep affect cravings in midlifeWhy you shouldn’t wait until January to set a goalReady for structure this season?

    My DEXA Scan: Here’s What I’ll Share (and What I Won’t)

    My mom was diagnosed with osteopenia at 50. I’m four years out from that age, and I wanted to know if I was as risk. In this episode, I’m telling you the whole story: the two and a half hour drive, the appointment itself, and what my results actually showed. I’ll also tell you what I’m choosing not to share, and why that matters just as much as what I do share. Here’s what you’ll hear: Why I finally booked a scan, and how I found a place to go from a rural communityWhat the appointment was actually like, start to finishMy bone density results, and what they tell me about the choices I’ve been makingWhy I’m keeping my body composition numbers private, even though I’m happy with themWhy a scan result is one point in time, not a verdict on your worthWhat you can start doing right now for your own bone health: training, protein, vitamin D and K, calcium, and screeningThis isn’t about fear. It’s about knowing what’s happening in your body so you can do something about it before you’re the one getting the diagnosis.

    GLP-1s & Muscle Loss After 45: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Ana Reisdorf, RD

    You can lose weight on a GLP-1 and still lose the strength you've worked so hard to build. Or you can do it differently. Whether you're taking a GLP-1, thinking about it, or watching someone you love go through it, this conversation is for you. This week I'm joined by fellow Registered Dietitian Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD, founder of GLP-1 Hub. Ana shares her own GLP-1 story, including the mistakes she made early on, like running on iced coffee until her blood sugar crashed at 2pm, & how that experience shaped the education platform she's built today. We get honest about what these medications actually do, why muscle loss happens, & what you can put in place to stay strong & capable while you lose fat. In this episode, you'll learn: What a GLP-1 does in plain English, including why it quiets food noise & cravings (and no, you're not injecting lizard venom)Why the medication itself isn't what causes muscle loss, & what actually doesWhy 30 to 40% of weight lost on a GLP-1 can come from lean mass, & how to protect yoursAna's baseline protocol: at least 100 grams of protein a day, 25 to 30 grams per meal, strength training at least 2 days a week, & daily walkingWhy losing slower (2 to 8 pounds a month) is a win, not a sign the medication isn't workingHow to get protein in when nausea hits: shakes, cold proteins like yogurt & cottage cheese, & smaller mealsWhy fiber deserves as much attention as proteinThe "cheating" myth, & why a GLP-1 can be one tool alongside a strong foundationQuestions to ask your doctor, & yourself, before you startFirst-shot tips: take it at home, go easy on high-fat foods, add a multivitamin, & plan your mealsWhy sourcing matters, & what to avoidThis isn't about getting smaller. It's about staying strong, capable, & independent for the long haul. About Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD, is a Registered Dietitian, entrepreneur, & founder of GLP-1 Hub, a media & education platform focused on GLP-1 medications, nutrition, & sustainable weight management.

    The Scale Is Lying to You: What a DEXA Scan Actually Reveals- With Tony Orlando

    It's 6am and you're standing on the same scale you've stood on for twenty years. The number moves half a pound and somehow it still gets to decide how your whole day feels. Here's what that number has never once told you: how much of you is bone. How much is muscle. Whether the "progress" you're chasing is actually costing you strength you'll need in ten years. Most women don't find out their bone density is a problem until there's already a fracture, because insurance won't screen for it before 65 and there are no symptoms to warn you first. This isn't something you did wrong. It's something almost nobody's told you to check. In this episode, I sit down with Tony Orlando, founder of DEXA Plus and a 25 year veteran of DEXA scan technology, to talk about what your body composition is really telling you and why it matters more than your weight ever will. You'll learn: Why a DEXA scan sees things your bathroom scale, and even most gym body fat monitors, physically cannotThe real reason osteoporosis is showing up earlier in women, and why waiting until 65 to check is too late for a lot of usWhat happened when Tony's own wife was nearly diagnosed with osteoporosis, and how she turned it aroundThe muscle loss risk on GLP-1 medications that almost nobody mentions, and how to protect against itWhy weight-bearing exercise outperforms cardio for long-term bone and muscle healthHow to actually get scanned: where to go, what it costs, and what the results really meanWhy "the number on the scale" was never the full story to begin withYour body isn't a mystery you failed to solve. It's a system that's been giving you incomplete information this whole time. Once you can actually see what's happening with your bones and your muscle, the goal stops being smaller and starts being stronger, and that's a goal you can build on for decades, not just until the next diet ends.

    Cutting vs. Bulking: What No One Tells Women in Midlife

    Cutting. Bulking. You've heard the terms - but chances are, no one's ever explained them for your body, in this season of life.  In this episode, Casey breaks down what these two phases actually mean, why almost everything you've heard about them was built for 25-year-old men, and how to know whether you're in a fat-loss season or a muscle-building one (spoiler: most of us are exactly where we're supposed to be). Plus - why you literally cannot build new muscle in a calorie deficit, and what to do instead if that's your goal. 🔗 Ready to tackle your fat-loss season the right way?

    Sober September: What Happens When You Take a Break From Alcohol

    What happens when you take a break from alcohol-especially as a woman in perimenopause/menopause working toward health and fat loss goals?  In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience of going alcohol-free, why I’m committing to a “Sober September,” and the surprising benefits I’ve already noticed just two weeks in.  This episode is a replay of one I dropped last year when I was doing a 6 week "Sober October" but it is timely and I hope you find it helpful! We’ll talk about how alcohol can slow fat loss, impact sleep and recovery, and even mess with your discipline when it comes to nutrition and workouts. And most importantly, I’ll show you how removing alcohol- even temporarily- can help you feel clearer, stronger, and more in control of your goals. This isn’t medical advice, and if you struggle with alcohol dependence, please seek professional support. But if you’re curious about what alcohol-free living might do for your body, your mind, and your momentum- this episode is for you.
