    S8 E4 Dr. Michael Aziz on the Top Anti-Aging Foods (and Diets to Rethink)

    In this episode of Beauty is a Bitch, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Aziz, a board-certified internist, regenerative medicine expert, and author of the bestselling The Perfect 10 Diet. His latest book, The Ageless Revolution: 10 Hallmarks of Aging That Hold the Secret to Defeating Disease, Reversing Age, Looking Younger, and Living Longer, explores how we can slow down aging and prevent disease—starting at the cellular level. We dive into some of the top anti-aging foods you should be eating now (hint: your kitchen may already have a few), and why gut health and healthy fats play a critical role in how well we age. Dr. Aziz also shares why certain restrictive diets—including vegetarian, low-carb, and keto—may not be the best choice for long-term health and vitality, especially for women in midlife. If you’re curious about how to support your body from the inside out and make smarter food choices that align with graceful, healthy aging—this episode is packed with insight, practical tips, and maybe even a few surprises.

    S8 E3 Sexy, Strong & Unapologetic: Julia Haart on Reinvention at Any Age

    Welcome back to Beauty is a Bitch, where we get real about aging, confidence, and owning your power in midlife and beyond. Today’s episode is extra special because I got to sit down with the one and only Julia Haart. You probably know her from the hit Netflix series My Unorthodox Life, but she’s so much more than that. Julia is a total force—a self-made entrepreneur, author and advocate for women's empowerment. She’s lived a life of radical reinvention, going from an ultra-Orthodox community to becoming the CEO of major fashion brands and now launching her own shapewear line, Body by Julia Haart—which, by the way, includes my new favorite bra. Seriously. We got into it all—what it really means to feel sexy and confident as we age, how to break free from limiting beliefs, and why it’s time we stop shrinking ourselves just because society expects us to. We talked body image, personal style, reinvention, navigating criticism, and how to rewrite your story at any age. Oh—and we got on like gangbusters. I now consider her one of my besties (not in a creepy way, I promise). This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of truth bombs you don’t want to miss.

    S8 E2 The Best of Both Worlds: How Western Medicine & Eastern Healing Work Together for Midlife Health

    In midlife, our bodies start speaking louder—whether through hormonal shifts, chronic inflammation, or the wear and tear of years of stress. Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms, while Eastern healing philosophies emphasize root-cause healing, balance, and longevity. But what if we could blend the best of both worlds for a truly comprehensive, patient-centered approach to health? This week, I’m joined by Dr. Anuradha Lala-Trindade (Anu Lala), a renowned cardiologist specializing in heart failure management, cardiometabolic disease, and holistic patient care. She believes in a patient-centered approach, integrating medical advancements with emotional and spiritual well-being to create personalized treatment plans. Dr. Lala serves as Deputy Editor of the Journal of Cardiac Failure, leads research for major cardiology networks, and has been recognized by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology for her contributions to cardiovascular education and awareness. In this episode we discuss; How Western medicine & Eastern healing complement each other in midlife health Why treatment ≠ healing and how to shift from symptom management to whole-body wellness The role of chronic inflammation in aging & how to reduce it naturally How stress, trauma, and emotional health impact heart disease and longevity The best lifestyle strategies to balance hormones, improve metabolism & boost energy How to navigate medication vs. lifestyle interventions to create the best health plan If you’re ready to explore a more balanced, integrated approach to health and healing in midlife, this episode is for you.

    S8 E1 – The Truth About Women and Sleep with Dr. Carleara Weiss

    Sleep is one of the most essential components of our health, yet so many women struggle with getting quality rest—especially in midlife. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Carleara Weiss, Ph.D., MSH, RN, a sleep expert, researcher, and advocate for women's health. Dr. Weiss brings over 15 years of experience as an Adult-Geriatric Nurse and is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the State University of New York in Buffalo. She has been featured in Buzzfeed, Insider, EatingWell, Women's Health and on the Well+Good podcast, and she’s here to help us uncover why so many women are struggling with sleep—and what we can do about it. From the impact of hormones and life changes to the lack of sleep resources in healthcare, this conversation is packed with must-know insights and practical solutions. We dive into the findings of Aeroflow Sleep’s recent survey on women’s sleep health and what the results reveal about our well-being. Why do so many women feel exhausted even when they’re getting the recommended amount of sleep? Dr. Weiss helps us break down the most common sleep disorders affecting women in midlife and explains why more than half of women have never spoken to their doctor about sleep. If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, we talk about how you can start that conversation with your healthcare provider and what practical steps you can take to improve your sleep quality. We also explore the strong connection between poor sleep and mental health, and why women are particularly vulnerable to this link. Hormonal shifts and life changes in midlife play a huge role in sleep disruptions, and we discuss why sleep resources and supplies are often underprovided by doctors—and how to advocate for better access. Dr. Weiss also sheds light on the use of CPAP machines and other sleep aids, explaining why they’re often underutilized by women and how they can be game-changers for those struggling with sleep apnea. Finally, we examine what changes need to happen in healthcare to bridge the gaps in women’s sleep health. Don’t miss this essential conversation on sleep, health and self-care!
