In this episode, I’m talking honestly about the wellness and fitness trends being marketed to midlife women right now. Everywhere you look, there’s a new gadget, supplement, test, or protocol promising better hormones, faster fat loss, or a healthier body. And while some of these tools can be helpful, a lot of them are overhyped and unnecessary.

I walk through popular trends like weighted vests, vibration plates, rebounders, walking pads, compression boots, cold plunges, saunas, detox teas, parasite cleanses, hormone testing kits, creatine, greens powders, and more. I break down what the research actually shows, what these tools really do, and where the marketing goes too far.

We also talk about detox teas and what’s really in them, why “detox” claims are misleading, and how your body already detoxes itself without expensive products. I explain the difference between lifestyle tools and medical treatments, including an honest discussion about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and who they may be appropriate for.

I share which tools I personally think can be worth considering for fitness, recovery, and aging well, and which ones are completely optional or easy to skip. Most importantly, I bring the focus back to the foundations that matter most in midlife: strength training, protein, walking, sleep, hydration, stress management, and consistency.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by wellness trends or wondered if you’re missing out on something everyone else seems to be doing, this episode will help you filter the noise, save your money, and feel confident about what actually works for your body in this season of life.

This week on Live Your Best Midlife, I’m bringing you a big Life Lately update — the real, the funny, the chaotic and the heart-level parts of this season.

We’re talking deer camp, Thanksgiving, escaping cold weather, staying active in winter and how I’m learning to be a chill mom with my adult kids during the holidays.

In this episode, I share:

What it’s like feeding a house full of hungry guys, rolling straight into Thanksgiving prep, and the mindset that makes hosting easier in midlife.

The moment I saw snow in the forecast and said, “No thank you!” Packed up the dog and hit the road. My mood shift the second I hit sunshine was… dramatic.

My step count drops HARD in the winter, so I’m sharing practical ideas that actually help midlife women stay active when the temps plummet:

• Finding the warmest walk window

• Indoor movement “snacks”

• Indoor pickleball

• Using your walking pad

• Store laps (yes, Costco counts!)

• Group fitness like Zumba, step, spinning, and my personal favorite… hot yoga

This season looks different when your kids are grown. I talk about shifting traditions, letting go of expectations, not guilt-tripping your kids and why I’m choosing to be the chill, flexible mom. The relationship matters more than the date on the calendar.
