The Flipping 50 Show

Start light if you’re just beginning. When you start strength training there is no need (or benefit) to lifting heavy. The neural component is responsible for changes in the muscle the first 4 weeks at least. So more weight won’t get more results faster.

This round up of 2018 research and resources will help you age better, get stronger, and lose weight for good after menopause. Most of the studies were published, a couple were pilots presented at conferences and a bonus 8thresearch study from 2015 I throw in because of the significant results a sneaky little trick gives Flipping 50 students.

Could your biggest obstacle be something even you can't see? Do you have a hard time getting or staying motivated around fitness and health habits? What if something you never suspected could be your biggest obstacle to weight loss, optimal energy, or ultimately your best life?  Today’s episode visits a recurring theme of emotions that could be tied to your self-sabotage and be a form of self-protection.  Let's unpack your biggest obstacle. 

Do you struggle to fall asleep or find yourself staring at the ceiling at 2am and 3 and 4… Do you think you’re sleeping but find your Fit Bit says the times you’re restless are in double digits?

Functional medicine and functional doctor are buzz words right now. Functional exercise for that matter, too, have us all wondering if we need to change but, more importantly have us wondering what that really is! 

"Non-athletic." That's how 61-year-old Catherine Thomas described herself to me. As we began her interview so I could share her story of starting to train for a triathlon after 60, she told me she'd been a smoker for 45 years.  Three years ago she quit. She had, that pivotal moment when she wasn't "trying to quit," she did. It was then that she began riding her bike. 

Do you struggle with fatigue? Do you want to take a nap in the afternoon but then have a hard time sleeping at night? Have you had to endure stress or put yourself on the back burner for long periods of time? If you're exercising and eating "right" and its not working. Instead of more energetic and thriving you feel like you're just getting from one day to the next. If that sounds familiar one of the reasons could be that you need an adrenal reset.

Do you sauna? Why would you want to? How would you like a passive way to boost your energy? Not to mention detox, improve skin, sleep, heal wounds… And a convenient way to do it at home? In minutes?

The holidays are kicked off with Halloween. Will yours be a healthier Halloween or start a cascade of sugary treats that last through the New Year?  Whether you acknowledge it, deny it, or you're somewhere in the middle things aren't the same as when you were a kid no matter how old you are reading this! 

Especially, perhaps at this time in our lives when things are changing rapidly if you’re not matching your hormone needs to changesyou make. You know, thinning hair, more pronounced wrinkles, sudden lines in the neck, crepe skin around legs, cellulite some days not others…  But I actually felt like I aged backwards in those four days.

Constipated? Bloated? Gas? Diarrhea? All of the above? Life would be so much better if you could just poop every day regularly, right? During this episode we are going to flip the lid on the truth about your poop. My guest is none other than the Queen of Thrones.

Fasting and anti-aging are two of the hottest topics among 50 and older women right now. The Flipping 50 podcast and blog have touched fasting lightly. Today we deep dive into my fasting experience, the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) I used and a guest who can address fasting from many angles.
