    What GLP-1s Reveal About Hunger, Metabolism & Midlife

    Ever wonder why your body suddenly responds differently in midlife, even when you’re eating and exercising the same way? Ashley Koff, RD, joins us to break down the hormones that influence appetite, metabolism, blood sugar, and satiety (including GLP-1s) and how these systems can shift through perimenopause and menopause.

    Ashley is a USA Today bestselling author, founder of The Better Nutrition Program, and a leading voice in the emerging weight health movement. With more than 25 years of experience, she’s helping change the conversation from weight loss to a more personalized, science-based approach to weight health.

    Her Husband Betrayed Her at 67

    At 74, author and wellness educator Danna Demetre is opening up about one of the most painful chapters of her life: being betrayed by her husband at 67. She shares what happened, how she navigated heartbreak, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust, and why she ultimately chose to fight for her marriage. We also talk about how that experience inspired her debut novel, Beyond Betrayal, as well as faith, female friendship, healthy aging, and finding purpose and hope later in life.

    Danna is a former R.N., Christian author, speaker, and wellness educator, and the author of several books on health, wellness, and personal transformation, including Eat Live Thrive Diet

    Women Are Dying From This More Than All Cancers Combined

    We talk a lot about cancer prevention, but are we paying enough attention to our heart and bone health? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jaime Hope, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience, to talk about the health risks women need to consider now, not years down the road.


    Dr. Hope and I dive into why cardiovascular disease is such a serious threat to women, why heart attack symptoms can look different in women than they do in men, and the warning signs you should never ignore. We also debunk some of the “heart-healthy” nutrition advice we’ve been given over the years, from low-fat diets to sugar, alcohol, processed foods, and more.

    We talk about the bloodwork women should be asking for beyond standard cholesterol tests, the role of advanced heart imaging, how menopause and hormone replacement therapy can affect cardiovascular health, and why sleep, stress, nutrition, and daily habits all play a role in protecting your heart.

    Vic Gets Real About Turning 64: Cancer Update, Identity & His One Birthday Wish

    In this special birthday episode, I sit down with Vic to celebrate his 64th birthday, complete with Star Trek costumes and a birthday cupcake. We also have an honest & heartfelt conversation about health, aging, and what really matters as we get older.


    Vic gives a full health update, and we talk candidly about the emotional weight of turning 64, the identity struggles that come with aging, and why our worth was never meant to be tied to our careers, our bodies, or what we can still do. With humor, vulnerability, faith, and a whole lot of love, Vic and I reflect on the season we're in and what he's dedicating his next year to.

    Have you ever felt like your body was working against you? 

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal hormonal journey from IVF and postpartum depression to hypothyroidism and eventually perimenopause. I’m connecting the dots between the symptoms I experienced at different stages of my life, what I wish I had recognized sooner, and why becoming your own health advocate matters. Because you know your body better than anyone, and you should never feel like you have to simply suffer through the symptoms.

    Vera Bradley Founder Explains How She Started a Billion-Dollar Brand After 40

    This week, I’m joined by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, co-founder of Vera Bradley, to hear the story behind the brand and the woman who helped build it. What started as a simple observation at an airport would become one of America’s most beloved lifestyle brands. In 1982, Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and her friend and business partner Patricia Miller noticed that every piece of luggage looked the same: boring, black, and bland. That moment sparked the idea for Vera Bradley, built on the belief that color could change how you feel.


    Together, we talk about entrepreneurship, ambition, motherhood, success, and the lessons Barbara learned along the way. It’s an insightful conversation about what it really takes to build something lasting, and what can happen when your dream changes your life in ways you never expected.

    The Truth About “Mommy Wine Culture”

    In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland for a conversation about the emotional reasons so many women turn to alcohol. 


    We talk about why drinking has become so normalized, how wine can quietly become a coping mechanism, the connection between loneliness, stress, and overdrinking, and why true change isn't about willpower; it's about understanding what's really driving the habit. If you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, this conversation offers a different perspective.

    “I can’t wear that” SAYS WHO?!!

    Have you ever found yourself asking, "Can I still wear this?" My question is... according to whom? 


    In this episode, I'm challenging the outdated fashion rules and opinions that keep so many women playing small. I'm sharing the comments I've received, the mindset shifts that have helped me tune out the critics, and the seven style principles I actually live by. Because the goal isn't to dress for someone else's approval, it's to dress for the life you're living today. Authenticity never goes out of style, and the only opinion that truly matters is your own.

    Fact vs. Fiction: The Truth About Menopause Supplements & Wellness Trends

    There’s no shortage of wellness advice these days, but how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money? From menopause supplements to skincare, hair growth, creatine, collagen, and everything in between, it can be hard to separate science from savvy marketing.

    This week, I’m joined by Shanley Chien, Senior Editor of Health at U.S. News & World Report. With a background in medical research, Shanley specializes in turning complex clinical data into practical, easy-to-understand health advice. She leads the publication’s healthy aging coverage, including its 2025 Healthy Aging Survey, and helps identify the top over-the-counter health products based on expert recommendations, not social media trends.

    Together, we break down what actually works, which wellness products are worth buying, and how to cut through the marketing hype so you can make more informed decisions for your health. Whether you're wondering if creatine is right for you, which drugstore skincare brands dermatologists trust, or if menopause supplements are truly worth the investment, this conversation will help you shop smarter and focus on what really supports healthy aging.

    Former Good Morning America Host Joan Lunden on Reinvention, Aging & Purpose

    In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by Joan Lunden for a conversation about the moments that shaped her extraordinary career and the lessons she's carried into this next chapter of life. We talk about breaking into a male-dominated television industry with no experience, why she's always believed in saying "yes" before feeling ready, and how learning on the job became one of the greatest keys to her success.


    Joan is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, television host, and motivational speaker who has been a trusted voice in American homes for more than 50 years. As the longest-running female host of Good Morning America, she broke barriers in broadcast journalism and has continued to inspire millions through her resilience, reinvention, and advocacy for women's health.


    We also discuss what happened after she left Good Morning America, why purpose became more important than prestige, how her breast cancer diagnosis led her into advocacy, and why she's become such a strong believer in cultivating female friendships later in life. This conversation is full of practical wisdom about staying open to new opportunities, embracing reinvention, and continuing to find meaning and purpose long after the career chapter you thought would define you.

    The Makeup Expert Behind Oprah’s Best Mascara of 2025 Shares Her Secrets

    For nearly three decades, Sarah Creal has helped shape the beauty industry from behind the scenes, developing products for iconic brands like Prada Beauty, Tom Ford, Bobbi Brown, and Victoria Beckham Beauty. Now, she's using everything she's learned to create makeup specifically designed for women over 40.


    In today’s episode, Sarah shares her journey from luxury beauty product developer to founder, the research that goes into formulating products for changing skin, and why so much makeup on the market isn't built with midlife women in mind. We also discuss the biggest beauty challenges women face as they age, from hydration and complexion products to smudging eyeliner and mascara, and the simple formulation changes that can make all the difference. Plus, Sarah opens up about the highs and lows of building her own brand and the mission to help women over 40 feel seen, supported, and beautiful.
