Are you struggling with digestive issues that just won't resolve? That ongoing constipation might be your body's desperate attempt to get your attention.

Wellness expert Melissa Hall-Klepacki joins Glennis Woods-Mullins to tackle a subject many midlife women experience but few discuss openly: constipation and gut health. This frank, enlightening conversation reveals why digestive issues become more prevalent during midlife and how addressing them properly can transform your overall wellbeing.

Melissa shares the eight root causes of constipation most doctors never mention, from the surprising impact of morning routines to the hidden dangers lurking in your water supply. Rather than relying on quick fixes, she offers a framework for understanding what's happening in your gut and practical steps to restore balance. You'll discover why "pooping once a week" is never normal and how to achieve the daily elimination your body needs.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Glennis reveals her own journey from corporate chaos to morning rituals, illustrating how reclaiming your mornings can become a powerful act of self-care. Her story resonates with any woman who has spent decades prioritizing everyone else, only to find herself depleted and struggling with health issues in midlife.

This episode delivers more than just digestive advice—it's a call to fill your empty cup before it's too late. As Melissa powerfully reminds us, "If you're not getting healthy now, if you've struggled, you've raised your kids, you've poured from your cup that is now empty. Now is the time to fill it, because on the other side, it's not so great."

Ready to transform your gut health and reclaim your vitality? This conversation offers the perfect starting point with actionable strategies you can implement today.

Have you noticed a sudden shift in your body after menopause, despite maintaining your usual exercise routine? That unexplained weight around your middle, loss of muscle tone, and decreased energy isn't your imagination—it's your hormones working against you.

Award-winning fitness coach Ashley Selman reveals the missing piece of the midlife fitness puzzle that most women never hear about: as estrogen drops during menopause, human growth hormone (HGH) plummets alongside it. This hormonal double-whammy explains why traditional workouts stop delivering results after 45, and why some exercise approaches might actually be making things worse.

The good news? There's a scientifically-proven training method that can reverse these changes by naturally stimulating HGH production—without requiring heavy weights, intense impact, or hours at the gym. Blood Flow Restriction training has been used safely for decades in medical settings and is now becoming accessible to everyday women looking to reclaim their strength, energy and body composition during midlife.

Through this enlightening conversation, you'll discover why muscle truly is your friend after 45, how to activate the specific muscle fibers that diminish with age, and why just 20 minutes three times weekly can transform how you feel and function.

Ready to stop fighting your changing hormones and start working with them? Listen now to discover how this approach could transform not just how you look, but how you'll feel and function for decades to come. Your future self will thank you.

What if the wisdom you're seeking has been within you all along? That quiet, steady voice nudging you toward your true path isn't just wishful thinking—it's your intuition speaking. But how do we distinguish between fear-based thoughts and authentic inner guidance?

Intuitive consultant Jenn Cohen joins us to explore the transformative power of intuition, particularly during midlife transitions. Drawing from her years collaborating with major studios like DreamWorks and NBC Universal, Jen reveals how intuition operates as our "first sense" rather than merely a sixth sense—a natural faculty we all possess but often neglect.

The conversation delves into practical ways to recognize when you're ignoring your intuitive signals. Those feelings of irritation, exhaustion, and constant second-guessing? They're clues you're resisting your inner wisdom. Jen expertly distinguishes between the constriction of fear and the expansive clarity of intuition: "Intuition is not here for smallness, it's here for greatness."

For those in midlife particularly, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how intuition becomes even more valuable as we accumulate wisdom and life experience. As Jen reminds us, this natural guidance system can help us navigate career transitions, relationships, and daily decisions with greater ease, authenticity, and purpose—if only we learn to listen.

For as long as Jenn Cohen can remember, she’s been drawn to the intuitive and psychic realm. That curiosity deepened at age 20 when her father passed away suddenly. On the night of his funeral, she asked aloud, “Are you here?”—and watched as a bedside lamp turned on and off repeatedly. In that moment, she knew without question he was with her.

Since then, subtle signs and messages from the other side have continued to guide her. While she didn’t always listen, she noticed that when she shared these experiences, people were deeply moved—curious, silent, and comforted.

After 27 years in the Entertainment Industry, she realized her most powerful and transformational moments came from deeper, intuitive connections. Though leaving the corporate world wasn’t easy, and fear showed up loudly, she began to question the old narratives she had believed for so long.

Once she chose to fully trust her intuition, everything changed. She launched her business as an Intuitive Consultant and now uses her abilities to help others gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and live more fulfilling lives.
