Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill
Changing Conversations Around Age, Potential, and Possibility for Women in MIDLIFE
I know there are A LOT of women in midlife who do not love, or even like, going to the gym. They just don’t feel good about themselves when they’re there for any number of reasons and the goal of movement is NOT to feel bad! It’s to FEEL GOOD! Enter MOVEJOY. When I say it will leave you feeling REALLY REALLY good, I mean it!!
This episode dives into the significance of gut health, exploring the connections between gut microbiome, chronic infections, nutrient deficiencies, and toxins. Laura Frontiero, also known as The Gut Genie, shares her insights on the importance of addressing gut health as a foundation before pursuing other treatments. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including the misconceptions about parasites, the impact of dietary choices on gut health, and practical advice for individuals struggling with digestion and absorption issues. Through analogies and personal experiences, the speakers aim to demystify complex health concepts and encourage listeners to prioritize their gut health for overall well-being.
Vibrational training is something I have been intuitively doing for years without really understanding WHY. I didn’t know much about it, other than it just felt good – especially as I navigated my disc issues in my lower back. I always saw much larger ones in the gym but now I have a smaller one in my home and absolutely LOVE having it to use more often, whether doing planks, or doing functional moves, or just using it for recovery.
We get a lot of messages from women in midlife who seem to have simply given up on life. They have a ton of stories that are NOT aided by the masses and the media. But it does NOT have to be that way! No, it’s not just aging! It doesn’t HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT! And no, it’s not all about looks. It’s about the labs, the aches, the pains, your HEALTH and vitality.
You all have learned by now if you follow me and the podcast that gut health is CRITICAL for our health. I was experiencing a whole bunch of mysterious symptoms that I was just chalking up to “aging badly” in perimenopause and menopause. You’ve heard me talk about gut testing, and getting rid of parasites, and removing toxins – you name it. But I wanted to dive deeper into WHY we need to do certain things like HCL, probiotics, etc. Wade and Matt are the founders of BIOptimizers and I am excited to have them on today to talk about just that!
