    Longevity, Biohacking & Menopause: What Actually Holds Up? With Chris Burres

    If something claims to extend life by 90%… we need to slow down and ask better questions. In this episode, Lisa sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to explore the science behind ESS-60—a molecule linked to one of the longest longevity experiments in mammals. Together, they unpack: What the research actually says (and doesn’t say) The role of mitochondria in aging The supplement industry’s biggest gaps What this means for women in perimenopause and menopause This is a conversation about curiosity, caution, and critical thinking. Key Takeaways: The ESS-60 molecule showed lifespan extension in rats—but human data is still emerging Aging is often linked to oxidative stress and inflammation Mitochondria play a central role in energy, hormones, and cellular health There is no single solution for menopause symptoms Lifestyle foundations still matter most: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress  What We Discuss: The origin of ESS-60 and Nobel Prize research Longevity vs real-life quality of life Supplements: hype vs evidence Menopause, mitochondria, and hormone production Why “one solution fixes all” is a red flag  Important Context: This conversation is exploratory and educational.

    Why You Suddenly Can’t Tolerate Your Life with Tina Erdman

    In this deeply embodied episode of Transforming 45, Lisa Boate sits down with modern mystic, adventurer, and embodiment guide Tina Erdman to explore what it truly means to come home to yourself in midlife. From nervous system healing and frequency, to identity, safety, and reclaiming your voice, this conversation weaves together science, spirituality, and lived experience. Tina shares how trekking mountains, living nomadically, and healing childhood patterns taught her that the body is the gateway to truth, joy, and authentic connection. If you’re a midlife woman feeling exhausted, disconnected, or ready to stop performing and start being, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why your nervous system—not your mindset—runs your life How identity is formed from survival, not truth What “raising your frequency” actually feels like in the body Why joy is not selfish, but essential for collective healing How to tell the difference between unsafe and uncomfortable The power of heart coherence and embodied safety How childhood patterns shape adult relationships Why midlife is the initiation into coming home to yourself How to rebuild trust in your body and intuition A compassionate way to have hard conversations without blame Powerful Takeaways for Midlife Women: You are not broken — your nervous system learned to survive Safety is a felt experience, not a thought Expansion can feel scary and aligned at the same time Healing happens through the body, not just insight Conscious relationships require curiosity, not performance Joy is a nervous system regulator and a form of service About Tina Erdman Tina Erdman is an embodiment guide, nervous system educator, and modern mystic who blends neuroscience, energy work, NLP, and lived experience to help people reclaim their life force, truth, and authentic voice. From summiting mountains to living as a nomad, Tina teaches that the body is the gateway to healing, purpose, and connection.

  6. Your (Peri)Menopausal Body Is Talking — Are You Listening? With Claudine  François

    Your (Peri)Menopausal Body Is Talking — Are You Listening? With Claudine François

    Midlife symptoms can feel confusing, frustrating, and sometimes even frightening. Many women hear the same response when they seek help: “Your labs look normal.” But normal doesn’t always mean your body is functioning well. In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with functional health practitioner and author Claudine François to unpack what’s really happening in the body during perimenopause and menopause. Together they explore why symptoms are actually powerful clues, how stress impacts hormones, and why supporting the whole body—not just one hormone—is essential during midlife. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or like your body suddenly changed overnight, this conversation will help you understand what may be happening and where to start. Episode Highlights: • Why traditional hormone blood tests often miss the bigger picture • The difference between medical lab ranges and functional ranges • Why symptoms should be treated as clues rather than annoyances • The impact of chronic stress on hormones and resilience • Why mineral depletion is common in midlife • Simple ways women can begin supporting their bodies today Key Takeaways: Symptoms are communication. Your body uses symptoms to signal where support is needed. Hormones don’t operate in isolation. Gut health, minerals, stress, sleep, and metabolism all impact hormonal balance. Midlife is a biological transition. Just like puberty, the body is changing and needs new forms of support. You can’t out-hustle exhaustion. Trying to push harder often worsens the underlying imbalance.

    Rewriting Your Inner Story After 40 with Suzanne Longstreet What if the patterns holding you back today were decisions your brain made before you were seven years old? This week on Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with master coach Suzanne Longstreet, creator of the Quantum U Activation Process. Suzanne works with high-achieving women who are ready to release subconscious blocks, reconnect with their true identity, and build lives and businesses that feel aligned and prosperous.

Together, Lisa and Suzanne explore the hidden patterns that shape our decisions, relationships, and confidence. They also dive into the powerful midlife moment when many women begin asking the question: “Who am I now?” This episode is about courage, rewiring old stories, and stepping back into the version of yourself that existed before the world told you who you should be. In This Episode We Talk About: Why so many women experience a major identity shift in their 40s and 50s How subconscious beliefs formed in childhood shape adult decisions The four core root beliefs that drive most self-sabotaging patterns Understanding how your brain filters the world The connection between neuroscience, energy, and personal transformation How to anchor confidence and step into a higher level of self-trust Why midlife can be the most powerful time to reinvent your life Connect with Suzanne Longstreet: Master Coach & Creator of the Quantum U Activation Process Website: https://www.successandclarity.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/successandclarity LinkedIn: (add link) https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanneglongstreet/ https://www.facebook.com/successandclarity https://www.instagram.com/successandclarity https://www.youtube.com/@suzannelongstreet1174 https://www.successandclarity.com/ Connect with Lisa: Website:https://www.liberatedmenopause.ca Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/lboate Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/leaninfindyourwayhome/ Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/245092311417467Email:lisa@liberatedmenopause.ca Learn more about your ad choices.
