Are These Midlife Health Questions Keeping You Up at Night?

Have you ever found yourself deep in a 2 a.m. Google rabbit hole, trying to figure out if collagen powder is worth it, or whether that weighted vest in your closet could actually help your bones? You’re not alone. Midlife brings a flood of changes—and questions—and it can be hard to know what advice to trust.

In this episode, I’m answering the most common (and most Googled!) health questions I hear from women in midlife. From supplements and strength training to anxiety and brain fog, I’ll guide you through it all with honest insights from both a functional medicine and Chinese medicine perspective—plus a whole lot of compassion.

In this episode:

• Whether a weighted vest can really help support bone health (hint: it can!)
• What to look for in a quality collagen powder—and why cycling your supplements might be a good idea
• The truth about NAD for energy and healthy aging (and whether oral supplements are worth it)
• Why walking is great—but heavy lifting may be even better for midlife wellness
• What might actually be causing your brain fog (spoiler: it’s not just low estrogen!)
• How to nourish your skin from the inside out as it becomes thinner and drier
• Why anxiety may spike in your 40s and 50s—and what your nervous system really needs
