  • How to Get Rid of “Bat Wings” Under Your Arm
    Apr 27 2025

    I'm tackling a question I get all the time—how to tighten and tone those "bat wings" under your arms. This isn't just about vanity; it's about counteracting the muscle loss that naturally occurs as you age. Starting around 30, you begin losing up to 1% of muscle mass yearly due to something called anabolic resistance, and declining estrogen during perimenopause makes it even harder to maintain muscle. But here's the exciting truth—muscle loss isn't inevitable! I've seen amazing women in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s build impressive muscle. The key is understanding that you can't spot-reduce fat, but you can build muscle that creates that toned look. I'll share why compound movements beat isolation exercises, why progressive overload matters, and specific strategies for nutrition and exercise that work especially well during menopause.

    What you’ll learn:

    • Why women experience muscle loss starting at age 30 and how declining estrogen during perimenopause accelerates this process

    • The truth about "spot reduction" and why building muscle gives you that toned look

    • How compound movements like pushups and rows give better results than isolated bicep and tricep exercises

    • Why progressive overload and training to near-failure is critical for seeing results in your arms

    • The importance of protein, collagen, creatine, and resistant starch for muscle building and fat loss

    • How to determine if you're overtraining or not training hard enough

    • Options beyond exercise if you have significant loose skin, including estrogen creams and laser treatments

  • Reversing "Irreversible" Heart Markers with Dylan Gemelli
    Apr 23 2025

    "I am on a mission to show in the most positive manner just how far off a lot of these people are and to show people there's hope and to teach them how to do it without completely eradicating their health." - Dylan Gemelli

    I sat down with Dylan Gemelli, a prominent figure in the fitness and biohacking industry who's transitioned from the bodybuilding world to becoming a cellular health expert. Dylan shared his incredible journey of rebuilding his life from scratch, discovering peptides and SARMs long before they became mainstream, and his personal battle with heart disease that led him to prove medical professionals wrong about what's possible. We dive deep into the world of peptides, cardiovascular health testing beyond standard panels, and why the hierarchy of health should include strategic supplementation for optimal aging. Dylan's passion for challenging medical dogma is infectious, especially his evidence that LP(a) levels can be lowered despite conventional wisdom saying otherwise.

    What you'll learn:

    • What peptides and SARMs are and how they differ from harmful substances like steroids

    • Why standard cholesterol panels miss the most important cardiovascular risk markers

    • How Dylan lowered his "unchangeable" LP(a) levels by over 230 points when doctors said it was impossible

    • The hierarchy of health supplements everyone should consider, starting with creatine for women of all ages

    • Why microdosing GLP-1s may be the ultimate longevity hack for improved metabolic health

    • How specialized peptides can accelerate healing, improve sleep, and support cellular repair

    • The truth about NAD+ supplementation and what delivery methods actually work

    • Why building and maintaining muscle mass is critical as we age, especially for women

  • Best Diet for Fat Loss (and it Includes Chocolate!)
    Apr 20 2025

    I invite you to join me in a deep dive into why dark chocolate should be part of your fat-loss strategy—yes, you read that right! This episode reveals why bitter dark chocolate actually satisfies sweet cravings, lowers your appetite-stimulating hormones, enhances metabolism, and supports insulin sensitivity. I break down the complete fat loss picture for women in perimenopause and beyond, explaining why muscle is your metabolic superpower and how protein, fat, and fiber create the ultimate satiety trifecta. Learn about resistant starch foods that can boost fat burning by 20-30% after meals, and discover my everyday strategies for managing portions, cravings, and creating a sustainable eating approach that works specifically for your body's unique needs.

    Listen to my interview with Dr. Annette Bosworth

    What you’ll learn:

    • Why dark chocolate supports fat loss by satisfying cravings and enhancing metabolism

    • How women's metabolism differs from men's and changes during perimenopause

    • The importance of protein for building muscle and supporting metabolism (0.7-1g per pound of target body weight)

    • Why resistant starch foods boost fat burning by 20-30% after meals

    • Strategies for managing cravings with bitter and sour foods

    • How to approach restaurant dining without sabotaging your progress
