KEY POINTS
Understanding the Impact of Stress on Blood Sugar
One surprising revelation is the significant impact of stress on blood sugar levels. Even without consuming sugary foods, stress alone can lead to spikes in blood sugar. This underscores the importance of managing stress as part of a holistic approach to diabetes and insulin resistance.
 Strategies for Transformative Lifestyle Changes
Andrea Nicholson, a holistic nutrition expert, highlights the alarming rise in type 2 diabetes among women over fifty. She offers invaluable insights into how simple lifestyle changes can make a significant impact on managing this condition. From diet modifications to stress management techniques, Andrea's advice is practical and actionable.
Navigating the Intersection of Diet and Insulin
The relationship between diet and insulin is crucial in controlling blood sugar levels. Liquid calories, often overlooked, can be detrimental to metabolic well-being. Understanding the importance of a balanced diet is key to neutralizing this threat. Discover the truth about intermittent fasting and how it can help take control of blood sugar.
Empowerment Through Midlife
The journey through diabetes and insulin resistance is multifaceted, requiring a holistic approach that addresses diet, stress, and lifestyle. By understanding the impact of these factors and making simple yet effective changes, individuals can empower themselves to live healthier, more vibrant lives.

Have you ever felt like your mental struggles are deeply rooted, hidden from view? I have. That's why I was so excited to speak with Dr. Katherine Kelly about her groundbreaking book on holistic anxiety treatment. As I mark 17 years in business, a journey marked by my own battle with anxiety, Dr. Kelly's insights bring a sense of hope. We discuss the deep connection between our soul and mental health, exploring how genetics, epigenetics, and ancestral trauma shape our well-being.

Dr. Kelly's Soul Health Model sheds light on the impact of anxiety, likening our inner turmoil to a tree struck by lightning. This perspective acknowledges the spiritual and past-life wounds that conventional science often overlooks. Our discussion goes beyond managing symptoms, focusing on achieving genuine healing.

Dr. Kelly and I discuss the wisdom of Hippocrates and Carl Jung, advocating for a renewed focus on the soul in modern medicine. By embracing our entire being, we can better navigate challenges like anxiety.

If you're seeking a path to holistic healing and ready to address the soul's impact, join us on this enlightening journey.

Ever caught a glimpse of silver hair in an ad and felt a surge of pride? You're not alone, and today's conversation with Stephanie O'Dell of Celebrate the Gray, along with model Angela Bellias, elevates that feeling. Their stories shatter stereotypes and construct a new narrative where women over 50 are not just seen but celebrated. From Stephanie's insights on shifting brand perceptions to Angela's inspiring modeling journey, we're peeling back the curtain on the untapped potential of the 50+ demographic in advertising. Their tales showcase the richness of experiences and the critical importance of authenticity in media.

Who says new passions have a shelf life? Angela's roller-skating renaissance is a testament to the notion that life's opportunities don't come with an expiration date. Our chat is more than just about breaking into modeling later in life; it's an homage to the empowerment that comes from embracing the adventures that years bring. We dig into the power networks, both online and off, that embolden us to stand up against ageism and craft our own definitions of positive aging. Our stories, ranging from Angela's foray into skincare panels to the collective push for fair compensation in the industry, are bound to ignite a spark of defiance and inspiration.

Navigating the digital world can be daunting at any age, but for the savvy post-40 crowd, it's become a new frontier post-COVID-19. We explore how technology has become more than a tool—it's a gateway to business, connection, and representation. The chapter wraps with Angela and me, rejecting the 'anti-aging' term and proposing a toast to the silver strands and laugh lines that map our lives. The Vibe Living podcast is where these conversations aren't just happenstance—they're a call to action for living with gusto and authenticity, at any age.

Imagine a world where each wrinkle tells a story of joy, and every year added to your age means a deeper well of wisdom to draw from. That's the world Asara Tsehai, founder of Juicy to 100 Nation, not only envisions but lives passionately at 65 years young. Our conversation with her is a revelation of what she terms 'conscious aging'—a blend of youthful wellness and seasoned wisdom that redefines the golden years. Azara's four-decade quest for the 'fountain of youth' through avenues like African dance and Chicago stepping exemplifies how life can be exuberant and fulfilling, breaking the mold of what society often portrays as a slow march toward obscurity.

Our heartfelt exchange traverses the landscape of self-care, touching upon its critical role in financial stability as we approach the horizon of retirement. The dialogue uncovers the neural shifts that catalyze personal evolution, and what it truly means to be a "juicy woman" — one who is unapologetically feminine, sensuous, and perfectly imperfect. Asara and I explore the leap from acquiring knowledge to taking action, the monumental impact of visual exemplars, and the sanctity of spaces that foster intuition and incremental wellness. As the conversation culminates, we celebrate the collective wisdom that takes flight when women of wisdom unite.

To our cherished listeners, this episode is a testament to the energy and empowerment you infuse into V.I.B.E. Living, and for that, our gratitude knows no bounds.

Asra's Bio
At 65, Asara Tsehai boldly declares, "I plan to be Fine, Fit & Fabulous even beyond 100 years young, and so can you!" She's not merely engaging in conversation; she's insisting on the dialogue surrounding conscious aging for women of all ages, as the visionary founder behind The Juicy to 100 Nation; a dynamic sisterhood of women who refuse to let age define them. These women are not only dedicated to aging gracefully; they're dedicated to aging outrageously, living Juicy and Delicious lives even beyond 100 years young. Asara with 40 years of experience in wellness and leadership has inspired over 10,000 women on their wellness journey. With a wealth of experience in Wellness and Transformational Teambuilding, Asara has transformed non-profits, corporations, and organizations alike.   As CEO of "Ancient Treasure," she offers her clients an exclusive combination of ancient health rituals, a lifestyle promoting radiant health, and holistic skincare, for ageless glowing skin providing simplicity, wellness, and beauty in one transformative experience.
