Episode Summary

“I can never get a good workout in… I don’t have the time.”

I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again!

In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer.

Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep.

So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically.

For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL’s unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health.

Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results!

QUOTES

“Unfortunately, with aging, we all lose about 10% of our VO2 max per decade. So it’s a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don’t do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.”

“Based on the feedback we’re receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.”

“Perimenopause is a decline of up to 20% of bone mineral density loss. So when women are having these hormone replacement therapy conversations, we’re not taking into consideration that these were changes that are happening in Peri.”

“There’s a lot of work to do. There’s no magic pill. It’s not just hormones, it’s an entire lifestyle. But you CAN master this.”

“Even if women don’t want to squat 200 pounds, we need to squat enough to be functional, because that’s what picking up our grandchildren or our children is, right?”

EPISODE SUMMARY

Joint aches. Softer muscles. Saggy skin. Brain fog.

Dealing with these not-so-fun issues in midlife? Trust me, you’re not the only one. But… these changes aren’t “just a part of getting older”.

In this podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Greg Kelly, Senior VP of Product Development at Qualia Life and a leader in anti-aging and cellular health, to unpack the powerful concept of cellular senescence, also known as “zombie cells.”

These cells don’t die when they should, sticking around to cause inflammation, slow down your metabolism, and accelerate aging in your skin, joints, muscles, and brain.

The good news? You’re not powerless! Dr. Kelly shares how senolytics—natural compounds that help your body clear out zombie cells—can dramatically shift how you age, supporting your body’s innate ability to regenerate.

If you’ve been feeling like your body is betraying you, this episode will bring hope and science-backed strategies to help you feel vibrant, clear-headed, and strong again.

QUOTES

“As these zombie cells accumulate wherever in our body, our joints, our skin, our brain, our muscle tissues, our fat tissues, they cause both local problems and systemic problems.”

“They scanned a whole bunch of different compounds, both plant extracts and actual medications, and came up with two that, especially when combined together, worked really well to get these zombie cells to finally go through cellular death.”

“These people all had some degree of joint discomfort, and what we saw was about a 60% improvement over three dosing cycles. So this seemed like it made a big benefit.”

EPISODE SUMMARY

Osteoporosis is showing up at younger ages in women.

So, waiting until menopause to start thinking about your bones is just way too late.

That’s why in this episode, I’m joined by orthopedic medicine expert Dr. Doug Lucas for a powerful conversation on bone health, aging, longevity, and why your bones are one of the most important (yet often overlooked) pieces of your long-term wellness.

We’ll dive into the surprising ways your daily habits impact your bone density—and what you can do right now to protect and even rebuild your bones as you age.

Dr. Lucas breaks down the importance of supporting your musculoskeletal system, screening and early prevention measures, and why your 30s and 40s are critical decades for building lifelong bone strength.

Strong bones mean a strong life—and it’s never too early (or too late!) to start taking care of them!

Doug Lucas, DO

Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist. His mission is to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable AND reversible. He’s the founder of Optimal Human Health MD and PEMA BioIdentical, as well as the creator of The OsteoCollective– where he empowers others to optimize bone health, hormones, and longevity.

IN THIS EPISODE

The importance of bone health throughout ALL of adulthood
Imaging and biomarker screening for osteoporosis detection
Factors driving bone loss in younger women
The role hormones play in bone health and bone loss
Lifestyle strategies to enhance bone health and longevity
Strength training recommendations for building strong bones
HRT for women to improve bone health

QUOTES

“I get it from a public health perspective, you want to screen when you’re most likely to see the disease… But that doesn’t help us prevent it. And preventing osteoporosis is so much easier than reversing osteoporosis.”

“If you are a postmenopausal woman, I strongly encourage you to consider bioidentical hormone replacement, because estradiol is the biggest tool you can use for bone health.”
