    135 - How to Reverse Your Midlife Strength Decline with Dr. Vonda Wright

    Did you know your body gives you a completely new skeleton every 10 years? It's true—but after age 40, the quality of that new bone depends entirely on the signals you send it today. In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright dives deep into the "Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause" and why the rapid drop in estrogen can lead to losing up to 20% of your bone density in just five years. But frailty is not your destiny. Dr. Wright breaks down the science of bone remodeling—the constant battle between your body's "demolition crew" (osteoclasts) and "construction crew" (osteoblasts)—and how to keep the builders winning. We're moving beyond the outdated advice of "just walk and take calcium." Dr. Wright shares the concepts from her book, Unbreakable, for building strong bones, the importance of impact training and the critical role of heavy lifting. Stop hoping for good bones and start building them. It's time to become unbreakable!

    Have you ever been told to "just eat less and move more," yet the weight on your legs and arms refuses to budge? In this episode, we shine a light on Lipedema, a chronic and often misunderstood fat disorder that affects millions of women worldwide but frequently goes undiagnosed. We dive deep into the reality of living with a condition that is more than just "stubborn fat." From the physical pain to the emotional toll of medical gaslighting, we explore Tania Saiz's patient journey from confusion to validation. Plus, we are joined by leading specialist, Carolyn Baek, to break down why Lipedema is so often missed, the specific diagnostic criteria you need to know, and the latest medical insights on management and surgery. Carolyn validates what patients have known all along: Lipedema fat is different. She explains the specific texture of "painful fat," and the groundbreaking treatments that are finally offering women their mobility—and their lives—back. This episode bridges the gap between patient suffering and medical solutions. It serves as a toolkit for anyone suspecting they have the condition or struggling to manage it.

    132 - How to Move Through Grief Without Breaking with Elena Brower

    Join us for a truly heartfelt and emotional conversation with Elena Brower, author of "Hold Nothing", an invitation to let go and come home to yourself. She is a painter, a poet, a mother, a teacher, a meditator and a healer. In this powerful episode, Elena invites us to share our most vulnerable selves (and we do) to uncover what it really means to "let go" and live peacefully.  We learn how Elena's spiritual teachings, yoga practice and family have allowed her to evolve into the compassionate human she is – it was truly a gift to us to be in her graceful presence.  Hearing her words of wisdom – especially around grief – helped us to unravel some of our own fears and guide us towards a life of peace and purpose.  In addition to having an inspiring conversation, Elena's soft, quiet voice makes this a soothing listen for anyone needing more calm energy in their lives.  For more information on Elena Brower go to: elenabrower.com To purchase Elena's book: Hold Nothing Listen to Elena's podcast: Practice You Check out Elena's substack: Hold Nothing Substack Follow Elena on Instagram: @elenabrower Follow Elena on Linkedn: @elenabrower Follow us on Instagram: @every.body.talks @jenngiamo @schully Subscribe to our YouTube channel!

    131 - The Longevity Gap: Why Women Need More Protein with Liz Plosser

    Join us for this enlightening conversation with powerhouse fitness and wellness expert, Liz Plosser. Hear how she transitioned from Fitness Editor of a major magazine to starting her own podcast, "Lifting with Liz" and writing a Substack called "Best Case Scenario".

We chat about how the fitness industry has changed with the introduction of GLP1s for weight loss as well as advancements in the research on women.

    130 - Why Your Body Can't Relax with Dr. Aimie Apigian

    Have you ever felt like no matter how much talk therapy you do, you're still stuck in the same cycles of anxiety, burnout, or chronic fatigue? According to Dr. Aimie Apigian, that's because trauma isn't just a psychological story we tell ourselves—it's a biological reality stored in our cells. In this deep-dive episode, we sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, a double board-certified physician and the leading medical expert on the Biology of Trauma®. Dr. Aimie explains why traditional healing models often miss the mark by focusing only on the mind, while ignoring the physiological "stuckness" of the nervous system. We explore the concept of the "trauma body"—the physical manifestation of past overwhelm—and how our biology actually dictates our emotional and mental capacity. In this episode, we cover: Stress vs. Trauma: Why stress can be growth-promoting, but trauma acts as a biological injury that requires a different roadmap for repair. The 5 Stages of Trauma Response: Moving beyond "fight or flight" to understand the full spectrum: startle, stress, the wall, freeze, and shutdown. The "Functional Freeze" Trap: How many high-achievers are actually living in a state of "high-functioning freeze" and why their "drive" might actually be a survival response. Moving to "Calm Alive": Dr. Aimie's signature framework for shifting the body out of survival mode and into a state of authentic safety and vitality. If you've been told your symptoms are "all in your head" or you've reached a plateau in your healing journey, this conversation will give you the science-backed tools to partner with your body and finally move from surviving to thriving.

    128 - What GLP-1s Do to Your Body & Brain with Dr. Alexandra Sowa

    It's the most talked-about drug in a generation, but do we actually understand how it works? This week, we are joined by Dr. Alexandra Sowa, author of The Ozempic Revolution, to pull back the curtain on the GLP-1 phenomenon. We move past the Hollywood headlines to explore how these medications are fundamentally changing our understanding of biology, willpower, and chronic disease. Whether you are considering the medication, are already on it, or are a skeptic, Dr. Sowa's evidence-based approach offers a roadmap for navigating this new era of metabolic health. The biology of weight: Why it was never just "calories in, calories out." How GLP-1s work in the brain and gut to reset the body's "set point." The stigma of "the easy way out" and why we need to change the narrative around obesity. Dr. Sowa's "SoWell" approach: Integrating medication with nutrition and long-term metabolic health. What the future of medicine looks like in a world where obesity is treated as a hormonal condition.
