    537: You Can Eat Perfectly Clean and Still Be Mineral Deficient - Here's Why with Caroline Alan

    You guys know I am a HUGE believer in the right supplements and the right protocols. So when I tell you that today's episode is about the FOUNDATION underneath ALL of it, lean in. Modern scientists believe we are operating at only thirty-seven to forty percent of the mineral levels our bodies actually need. Minerals are the only nutrient class your body cannot make. They are the foundation under hormones, gut, sleep, energy, hair, and yes, even under the great supplements you are already taking. This is the conversation midlife women have been waiting for. I sat down with Caroline Alan, founder of BEAM Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, published by Hay House (with a foreword by Dr. Mindy Pelz, who called it "a lifeline"). Caroline was the woman doing everything right at 50 and still falling apart. Brain fog. Hair loss. Inflammation. Three miscarriages. Doctors told her it was just normal aging. She went deep into the science of minerals and it changed everything for her. This is NOT anti-supplement. This is the FOUNDATION that finally makes the supplements and protocols you are already loving actually land.

    536: What's Actually Happening to Your Nervous System When You Feel "Off"

    In this episode I share something I never thought I would talk about on this microphone: quantum physics. Not the wellness version. The actual physics. The kind that won the 2022 Nobel Prize. I walk you through why some of us feel things in our bodies that other people do not, why midlife makes us more sensitive (not less), how quantum entanglement actually works in plain English, and what happened when I flew to Germany and got my brain measured in a high-density EEG lab. The data is on paper. The lab is real. The results are mine. And I think every midlife woman who has ever been told she is too sensitive deserves to hear this one.   LINKS:  • Leela Quantum:  Get 10% off your first Leela Quantum order with the code NATALIEJILL at checkout  at https://midlifeconversations.com/leela  • Quantum Upgrade: Try Quantum Upgrade completely free for 15 days—no credit card required.

    535: How to Stop People-Pleasing and Start Living in Midlife with Star Monroe

    What if the thing you've been calling a midlife crisis is actually the most important reckoning of your life? In this episode, Natalie sits down with Star Monroe, a self-identity expert and somatic psychotherapist who helps midlife women face the crisis underneath the crisis, the version of themselves they abandoned decades ago just to feel safe, loved, and chosen. Star opens up about her own unfiltered history, including addiction, two marriages, financial collapse, and the moment she finally understood that her self-destructive patterns were never about the substance itself. They were about a missing connection to herself. From there, the conversation moves into territory every midlife woman will recognize. The strange feeling of not knowing who you are anymore once the kids, the career, or the relationship that used to define you starts to shift. Star explains why this isn't a breakdown, it's a shattering of identities that were never really yours to begin with, and underneath that shattering is the truer, more whole version of you trying to come through. Natalie and Star get into the messy, practical reality of change, including how to stop outsourcing your worth to other people's opinions, how to tell the difference between intuition and fear, and why learning to sit with uncertainty might be the single most underrated skill in midlife. Star also shares the exact moment she walked away from a thriving six figure business because it no longer felt like her, and what it actually took to trust that decision without a backup plan. WE GO DEEP ON:  Midlife crisis vs. midlife reckoning Addiction as a search for connection, not chaos How to stop outsourcing your worth to others Intuition vs. logic in big life decisions Why simplicity is the real path back to yourself Walking away from six figures to find herself   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Star Monroe Instagram ➜ http://www.instagram.com/msstarmonroe   Thank you to our show sponsors:  QUANTUM UPGRADE: Try Quantum Upgrade completely free for 15 days—no credit card required.

    534: Why You're Still Deficient After Taking All the Right Supplements (The Absorption Problem Gets Worse in Midlife) with Lindsey Burwell

    Tired of choking down pills and wondering if any of it is showing up? Transdermal could be the answer. The Patch Method bypasses our digestion and liver completely. Super easy, just slap it on. Code NATALIEJILL for 20% off at http://thepatchmethod.com  PLUS… DM "NatalieJill" to @the.patchmethod on Instagram and the first 50 people will receive a free patch kit of their choice plus four free samples. What if the drawer full of supplements you have been faithfully taking every morning is actually making your liver work harder without making you feel any better? If you have ever walked out of a functional medicine or naturopathic appointment with a list of twelve supplements, spent hundreds of dollars filling that order, and then showed up to your next appointment still deficient in the very things you were supplementing, you are not alone. And according to Lindsey Burwell, founder of The Patch Method, you are also not the problem. Lindsey was one of my most talked-about guests ever, and she is back for part two because your questions did not stop after our first conversation. Today we go even deeper into why swallowing supplements is often a losing game for midlife women, and what transdermal delivery actually does differently at a physiological level. We cover the science of first-pass metabolism and why your liver, already under enormous strain from modern life, is simply not prioritizing breaking down your vitamin C. We talk about what "pill fatigue" really is and why it is only getting louder. And we get into the specific patches Lindsey has developed, including the detox patch, the cortisol fix, the menopause patch, and the one I have been waiting to try: the GHKCU copper peptide glow patch, which has serious research behind it for skin regeneration, hair growth, and cellular repair. I also finally get Lindsey to walk me through why the injectable version of that copper peptide causes that intense, all-day throbbing sensation, and why the transdermal version sidesteps that entirely. Spoiler: it comes back to dose. If you have MTHFR or a slow COMT and have had bad reactions to methylated B vitamins, Lindsey explains exactly why the patch form does not cause that same stimulant response. We also dig into who should and should not be using these patches, how to stack them, and why you do not have to give up the supplements that are already working for you. This is one of those episodes that makes you want to go audit your entire supplement cabinet.   WE GO DEEP ON:  Why your liver may be working 3,000x harder than it used to Why supplements are dosed at 10,000% of your daily need What actually happens to a pill before it reaches your bloodstream Why MTHFR carriers react badly to B vitamins in pill form, not patches The detox patch protocol for clearing excess estrogen on HRT Why the GHKCU injectable causes all-day throbbing, and the patch doesn't What 90 days of copper peptide use can do for hair and skin The adaptogen blend behind some of the best sleep scores Lindsey has seen Whether you can stack multiple patches at once Who should never use these patches   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Lindsey Burwell Instagram ➜ http://www.instagram.com/the.patchmethod  Website ➜ http://thepatchmethod.com use code NATALIEJILL to save    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

    533: Biohacking Gone Wrong: Why Everything You're Doing to Optimize Your Health Might Be Backfiring with Dr. Sabrina Solt

    What if the supplements you've been taking to feel better are actually the reason you feel worse? That's exactly what happened to me, and it sent me down a rabbit hole that led to one of the most important conversations I've had about my own health. Today I'm sitting down with my close friend and personal doctor, Dr. Sabrina Solt, a regenerative medicine physician and peptide expert who has been in this field for over a decade. We start with the question that started everything for me: why was I wired at 3am, crashing every afternoon, and reacting to the exact supplements I thought were helping? Dr. Solt breaks down the cortisol-prolactin connection that most doctors never test for, explains why elevated cholesterol in midlife women is often a protective response rather than a red flag, and walks us through the inflammation markers that actually tell the full story of what's happening inside the body. Then we go deep on what she calls the upstream-downstream problem, the real reason why things like methylated B vitamins, NAD drips, and glutathione pushes can backfire so badly in certain women, and what to do instead. She explains the genetic piece around MTHFR and COMT variations, why "more" is rarely the answer, and what supporting downstream clearance actually looks like in practice. From there, we get into peptides. Dr. Solt gives a grounded, clinical breakdown of BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, the copper peptide GHKCU, growth hormone releasing peptides, and the serious cautions around GLP microdosing gone wrong. She also shares her vision for what medicine could look like if doctors were equally fluent in peptides and pharmaceuticals. This is the conversation I've been wanting to bring to you for a long time. Dr. Sabrina Solt is one of the most precise and brilliant minds I know, and she does not hold back.   WE GO DEEP ON:  The cortisol-prolactin connection most doctors never test Why high cholesterol isn't always the villain (and what MPO reveals) The upstream-downstream mistake making "healthy" habits backfire Why NAD and glutathione drips can be dangerous for some people A no-BS peptide breakdown: BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, copper peptides, and more The truth about GLP microdosing and its risks What to fix before you ever try a peptide   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Sabrina Solt  Instagram ➜ http://www.instagram.com/drsolt  Website ➜ http://www.stemcelltherapypro.com/  Peptide Membership Website ➜  https://dr-solts-peptide-corner.circle.so/forms/dfdcc2cd        Thank you to our show sponsors:  QUANTUM UPGRADE: Try Quantum Upgrade completely free for 15 days—no credit card required.

    532: The ONE Biohack That Works Regardless of Your Genetics with Kashif Khan

    Don't miss the free live hydrogen workshop with Kashif. Save your seat at https://midlifeconversations.com/hydrogen  What if every biohack you've tried has been missing the one piece that actually makes it work? Red light, peptides, cold plunges, NAD, wellness IVs. You've tried some of them. Some worked. Some didn't. And here's the maddening part: your friend is thriving on the same protocol that made you feel worse. That's not random, and you're not broken. There's a reason, and it's rooted in your unique biology in ways most practitioners never explain. In this episode, I sit down with Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company and someone I genuinely call my health guru. Kashif healed himself from a cascade of chronic conditions including eczema so severe his eye was sealed shut, psoriasis, gut issues, migraines, and depression, all by going deep into functional genomics rather than accepting diagnoses and prescriptions. He now runs what may be the largest functional medicine clinic in the country by volume, working with the most complex cases imaginable. We cover what red light actually does inside your mitochondria and how you can completely overdo it, the real reason peptides cause side effects when used without proper sequencing, why 89% of your cholesterol score has nothing to do with food, and the one molecule Kashif keeps coming back to no matter who the patient is. We also go deep on why hydrogen tablets and bottles are not doing what you think they're doing and what the research actually shows it takes to move the needle. This is one of those conversations that makes you rethink everything. Listen all the way through. WE GO DEEP ON:  Why the same biohack transforms your friend but wrecks you What red light really does inside your cells and how to overdo it Why peptide order matters more than peptide choice Why 89% of your cholesterol score has nothing to do with food Why hydrogen has peer-reviewed studies on every chronic disease Hydrogen tablets vs. breathing: a tablet equals about 20 seconds How to rebuild the 70% of mitochondria you've lost since your 50s Cold plunges, saunas, PEMF, and wellness IVs: what's worth it and what isn't   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Kashif Khan Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/kashkhanofficial  Website ➜ https://midlifeconversations.com/hydrogen    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

    530: The Bacteria in Your Mouth Is Linked to Heart Disease, Anxiety, and Hormonal Chaos with Dr. Pedram Shojai

    Get the oral biome test we talked about in the show at http://midlifeconversations.com/oral This is the conversation I have been waiting to have. If you are doing the breathwork, the meditation, the supplements, the protocols, and you are STILL feeling anxious, inflamed, bloated, and exhausted, this episode will explain why. My guest is Dr. Pedram Shojai, The Urban Monk. He is a New York Times bestselling author and a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and the man who first came on this show talking about stress and the nervous system. Years later, after a wild full-circle moment in a group coaching call, we are back together to talk about what he is doing NOW: the connection between the nervous system and the oral and gut microbiomes. In this episode we connect every dot for the midlife woman who has been told she is fine. The stress-and-biome loop. Why your mouthwash may be sabotaging you.  If you have been guessing about your gut and oral health and throwing supplements at a problem you have never tested, this is your invitation to stop guessing. WE GO DEEP ON: •  The full-circle story from The Urban Monk to the microbiome •  Why nervous system work alone is not enough in midlife •  The stress + biome loop and how it makes anxiety, fog, and bloat worse •  Oral microbiome 101: what it is and why it matters for your gut, heart, and brain •  The everyday things women are doing that are wrecking their oral biome •  Why generic probiotics often do not work •  Gut testing and oral microbiome testing demystified •  Pedram's personal first steps after seeing his own data •  Your this-week starter plan: 3 things to stop, 3 things to start TIMESTAMPS: •  00:00 — Cold open: the full-circle story •  03:00 — Welcome + context for midlife women •  05:00 — From The Urban Monk to the microbiome (his journey) •  13:00 — The nervous system + biome loop •  21:00 — Oral microbiome 101 •  29:00 — Gut microbiome as the control center •  36:00 — Stop guessing, start testing •  42:00 — Pedram's own protocol •  48:00 — Biome + hormones + your starter plan + hope   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Dr. Pedram Shojai Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drpedramshojai/ Website ➜ http://midlifeconversations.com/oral    Thank you to our show sponsors:  MITOQ: Take control of healthy aging and longevity.

About

Welcome to Midlife Conversations. On this podcast Natalie Jill does what she does best - taking complicated information that is relevant to us (women entering Midlife) NOW, and breaking it down simply with actionable steps you can implement to level up your life in your BEST YEARS to come. I also regularly interview some of the most inspiring people living their best Midlife years. On this show, I cover topics about our shifting hormones, weight struggles, our mood and focus changes, raising teenagers, our relationships, career changes, beauty and more. If you are new here, Natalie Jill encourage's you to go back and listen from episode one, when this podcast was previously called "Listen UP" for the full transformative experience!
