The Flipping 50 Show

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...

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 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...

Younger for life, how does that sound? In defense of pro-aging not anti-aging and of loving the wisdom and comfort that comes with knowing who you are and aren’t and not having time for silly petty thoughts of worry about what someone might think… this may sound a little contradictory. But I know I like a compliment about my skin or someone saying, I can’t believe it. It’s when you suddenly don’t...

Get ready to optimize your workout after 40. This list of tips comes from a simple round up of tips shared often on social media and that surprise me that we don’t all know this. Yet.. why should you? You haven’t eaten and slept this for 40 years! You haven’t spent every week keeping up with new science, researching the latest peer-reviewed journals and monitoring large groups of women putting to...

How can stress be a tool for hormone balance? My guest and I dish on the topic of stress in this episode and how you can harness stress as a tool for your hormone balance.  Knowing exercise is stress and that may be what led you here, we all have to deal with stress not only of the emotional, relationship, financial type but of the physical kind that comes from sleep deprivation or exercise or ski...

If you’re struggling with weight loss resistance, a chronic pain or injury or gut issues, there may be a hidden reason for belly bloat and so much more.  The answer isn’t more exercise and less food. The answer is something you may not have addressed yet in your life.  Warning: this episode talks more about energy (yours) and vibrational energetics and you may or may not be ready for it. I recentl...

I’m right there with you. Continuing to do the same thing and expect different results would be crazy. Continuing to do the same thing with a body that isn’t the same as a decade or two ago is insane!  So here’s what I’m doing, to help you identify where you may want to shift too!  The Basic Workout Changes I’ve Made at 59 Prioritizing strength time vs cardio The difference between the WAY I prior...

If you know what really causes cancer you can make better daily choices to prevent it or prevent recurrence.  My guest today overcame her own cancer 100% naturally. She’s not the only one. Knowing we each have cancerous cells in our bodies that do or don’t express based on our epigenetics or lifestyle choices, can empower us to learn and then choose more wisely. In the first few minutes of this ep...

Low libido, sex dysfunction, stress, insomnia, body confidence… we unpack a lot in this episode. Two guests today both specializing in women’s health with specific attention to libido and pelvic floor health show up for this podcast and bring it.  Sex dysfunction is no laughing matter for couples who used to enjoy each other and now are finding it’s not the same. Intimacy is a powerful part of hea...

If you’ve looked in the mirror lately and you see something that makes you wonder about surgery or botox and that is just not you, but you’d love a natural facelift with no negative side effects, this is for you. First though, I’m a low maintenance girl. I am also a skeptic. Look, I get access to some truly amazing products and I’ve shared my favorites with you. Today, though I share something tha...

Many women want to lose weight. To lose weight for active women over 40, they also don’t want performance to deteriorate. There are a few things to consider. First, it’s not the eat less, exercise more dogma that will get you what you really want.  Most women want energy, tone and definition, and strength for now and later. Better blood sugar control that supports reductions in belly fat and overa...

Fair warning: this 5 books I loved in 2023 episode will read a little like a book review. It’s a great gift guide but perhaps the biggest take-away for us all is in the review of titles. I won’t make you wait. I’m going to share them all in the beginning. The titles are like trends on skinny jeans or cropped tops and high-waisted tights. I didn’t love either of those. With these I’m less judgmenta...

Before I go further you should know, I’ve despised the word “hacking” for a long time. For me it seemed like code for shortcut, cheat, and quick fix. And a decade ago I think that was true. But I know better and the biohacking we’re talking about here is very different. It’s not cheating the system but rather getting a bonus. If you lift weights and can’t lift heavy, the use of a whole body vibrat...

If you’ve experienced this… I want you to to know the #1 reason you’re not getting results from my 40 years experience, and most of all from the most recent comments, DMs and group conversations we have. Said 100% with respect to us all… but we have failed to commit to any one. While we’re complaining about the abundance of overwhelming and often conflicting information, we fail to realize it’s us...
