🎙️ Hormones are only part of the story, stress, diet, and lifestyle play the leading roles in how we feel.

In this heart-opening episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with JO BROWNLOW, a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Bootcamp Trainer passionate about helping women reclaim their health through balance, nourishment, and rest.

Together, we explore how to balance hormones naturally, support your liver and gut health, and why loving yourself first is the foundation for thriving in your 40s and beyond.

In this episode, we explore:

• The hidden dangers of overexercising and its impact on hormones

• How alcohol affects liver health and gut

• Why loving yourself is key to feeling your best in your 40s and beyond

As we navigate the complexities of our health and the inevitable shifts that come with age, it becomes clear that the story of wellness is not just about what we consume, but about how we honor the delicate balance within ourselves. Loving yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s essential. When you prioritize your health and wellbeing, you unlock the freedom to live fully with strength and grace.

Self-worth isn’t up for debate even on your heaviest days.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with LAURA PHILLIPS—Asia’s only genetics-based coach and the woman behind countless midlife glow-ups.

Together, they explore why high-achieving women struggle to prioritize their wellbeing, how shifting your beliefs can unlock lasting change, and why investing in yourself is the ultimate business strategy.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why self-judgment is a false motivator that keeps women stuck in shame cycles

• How separating your self-worth from the number on the scale changes everything

• The truth about “getting bulky” and why strength training should be every woman’s priority

• How chasing success can mask deep-rooted feelings of unworthiness

• Real talk on excuses, internalized pressure, and what finally cuts through the nonsense

It’s time to stop making excuses and start choosing yourself. No more blaming your career, your kids, your circumstances, or even your hormones. The truth is, if you don’t prioritize your health and well-being, everything else suffers, and that’s on you. If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of guilt and self-neglect, this episode is your wake-up call.
