The Flipping 50 Show

In this episode we break down the levers for metabolic mastery for midlife women in such easy terms that it is my prediction you will want to listen again. My guest smoothly coaches us through unique messages with examples and specifics. No platitudes or lists in this episode. This will stick.  We talk about habit formation and why we fail at it.  My Guest: Ellie Kempton, founder of Simply Nourish...

This is absolutely the first time I’ve done a greet and meet the team here at Flipping 50. [ Not completely true though – We’ve had one community coach on the show to talk about her 60th birthday and her perspective on it.] In the She Means Fitness Business podcast (for you fitness and health pros) I’ve introduced the positions I have hired and the order I hired them in, how I create job responsib...

This episode is for mothers and daughters so it’s definitely not one to keep to yourself. There are numerous resources mentioned within this episode as well. Those include reference to Judy Blume’s Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret?, Flow and the wisdom of What, When and Why to Exercise for Women 40+ guest expert Alissa Vitti. My Guests: Candace Burch is a Hormone Health Educator with a Masters...

Like many things worth it, it wasn’t easy when the Flipping 50 show started. If you’re new or you’ve been here a minute but you never heard this story, this is how it all started.  Tears roll down my face as I take down years of memories. Since I can remember I wanted dozens of frames full of memories hanging on my walls and lining bookshelves. My cell phone rings and I see it’s my realtor, what p...

In midlife sex is not over! Sexual health expert, Dr Lyndsey Harper joins me in this episode. The questions that are top of mind even if not tip of tongue are what we’re tackling today.  Here’s how I know. In opening applications for the Flipping 50 TV shows the questions about libido were so prevalent that I gave in and episode 3 was about how to modify exercise to help, or at the least not sabot...

Want the real secrets to longevity so you can love it not just last it? This is it. My guest has a voice so buttery you’ll find so easy to listen to and so excited that you’re going to get excited too. You’ll hear how he fell into longevity science. He shares a wealth of resources (books) about longevity and what it means today.  The real secrets to longevity are less secrets and far more science....

If you have a rotator cuff injury or any injury for that matter at the time you’re also feeling like you’re constantly faced with figuring out your changing body’s needs, this is for you. We unpack the unknowing and waiting. What can you do when mobility or ability is limited? How do you create a plan?  We discussed blood flow restriction bands, water exercise and options to keep you in alignment....

In this episode discussing the midlife exercise rx I host Dr Kathleen Jordan as we discuss from a Medical Exercise Specialist and a physician the mash up of menopause symptoms and exercise solutions to mitigate and amplify good health now and for decades ahead.  In case you’re curious, I have a couple stats.  Nearly 50% of medical schools offer any training in exercise physiology. And 0% of these...

The downside of coffee for many is the gut devastation. For others, if we’re talking caffeinated, not decaf, it’s the jitters. Some women rely on it for pooping. (That’s not good by the way. We may want to restore your factory settings, because you never needed this as a child, right?)  Your DNA may determine how well you metabolize caffeine but so can presence of other stressors, whether you have...

It’s time to stop holding back and start sharing your crazy unique gifts. But it’s hard, right? What will people think? How do you put  yourself out there at a time when very possibly the myriad of changes in your life shake your confidence?  It’s always my hope that the strength you gain from lifting weights is far deeper than muscle. It’s confidence, it’s inner strength, it’s having a voice and...

Whether it is the beginning of the year or a new season or you’re listening later to this episode, cleanses and detoxes are prevalent topics. Do you need a detox? I may have answered that very differently 10 years ago. This episode follows two recent episodes on detox and answers some of the questions from our community about what it is why it might be needed and it’s not what you think.   But onc...

Every once in a while inspiring stories come across my desk and I’m so excited to share this episode. Author, Lauren Hurst - who calls herself not an author - wrote a book about older athletes sharing their path and performance.. Some of which will blow you away.  I’ll link in this episode to a previous episode with the hosts of the Huntington World Games in St George Utah. We’ve had some amazing...

You lift the weights, drop the collagen in your coffee and hydrate like it’s your job but still with the toned muscles see loose skin. A female scientist may have the answer for crepey skin.  In 2018 I received hundreds of applications for the Flipping50TV show https://www.flippingfifty.com/flipping-50-tv/. Popular questions made it to the show. The 18th episode (of the 39 done in 3 seasons) was l...

Time to get your best sleep in midlife (and later)!!  You’re going to hear about thought restructuring, placebo effects, and how to improve your days by improving your nights. Does sex before bed improve your sleep? What do you do if you’re waking at 2 or 3 am? Why might you be waking at these times and why does the frequency of wake ups increase?  Need Tips on Sleep? My free Sleep Yourself Skinny...

For the ultimate tips on longevity in women 40 and over we’re diving into whole body vibration in this episode with a spokesperson and brand ambassador for Power Plate.  Did you know whole body vibration was first used by astronauts to essentially add protection of bones when in space? Did you know the brand I use, Power Plate, has been available for 20 years?  My Guest:   Caroline Pearce, a forme...

Exercise both directly and indirectly influences detox. Exercise increases respiration, circulation and sweat production.  Exercise [in the sweet spot] also improves digestion and elimination so the toxins released can be removed. Exercise stimulates the lymphatic system (an integral part of the immune system for removal of metabolic waste and toxins).  The Lymphatic system relies on muscular cont...

Wonder how to detox? Or if you even need to? I know my view on this has changed dramatically in the last decade. Once under the belief that our body’s detox naturally enough to do the job, I don’t think that’s the case any more. I think we often need a boost and depending on how clean your lifestyle more or less often. By now you know toxins absorbed by our body because we eat them, breath them, w...

If you’ve got a belly fat issue you potentially also have a need to balance blood sugar. In this episode I answer a community member question.  Community Member Question:  “I am struggling with keeping my blood sugar balanced. I am wearing the CGM and it is showing my blood sugar going below 70 many times during the night and 2-3x during the day. Trying to figure this all out. Balanced meals don’t...

How would you like to grow your own food for dinner? Step outside your door or head to a special place on your counter and grab your spinach or microgreens, wash them and enjoy?  No matter where you live, my guest today tells us we can do this. I love the idea of pulling it out of the ground and eating it full of nutrients instead of knowing it’s been flown or trucked in, sat in the store and then...

It is possible to boost your metabolism in midlife and it’s probably not going to happen from a diet. In fact everything about a diet will tell your body to burn fewer calories and slow your metabolism and deplete energy. Why do we collectively still resort to eating less? That’s going to be a puzzle to solve for all time perhaps. But perhaps not for you. Because in this episode we talk about a fa...

This episode kicks off the New Year with something we seem to all be so interested in, right behind belly fat, and that’s longevity. Is it just me or is it even 30-somethings now trying to reverse aging? Unpacking all that this is and isn’t could be a philosophical episode all on its own. Instead, I’d thought we’d take a look at 4 ways testing your longevity is possible, at home. Now, these tests...

Curious about when or how women use CBD to their best advantage? I’ve been using CBD off and on for about 6 years. I originally began after being gifted some products that then loved so much I shared with my mom for her lower back. I’ve used rubs and lotions for recovering from training rides and runs during triathlon training.  But I think there are now several indications as well as formats for...

You’re a pillow talk away from better sleep well rested days.  If you’re listening you care about better sleep well rested days. Whether you’re struggling with it, or grateful you don’t sleep is king and queen of recovery and all things functioning well. But this episode goes far beyond our usual layer of sleep. If this is a topic you know and don’t love… this is for you. Be sure you visit show no...

If you are trying to use intermittent fasting and exercise after 40, it’s tricky. You’re choosing to apply two hormetic stressors to a body already under hormetic stress going through physiological changes. We really can separate this into three areas – which might help you understand the dilemma.    The benefits of intermittent fasting for women in midlife are potentially many:  Improved gut heal...
