Yoga and bone density might be the most underestimated combination in women’s health after 50—and the science behind it may surprise you. 

What if 12 minutes a day could improve your DEXA scan, lower fracture risk, and support stronger bones without jumping straight to medication? 

This episode is an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Loren Fishman, breaking down the research on 12 yoga poses for bone density. If you’re in menopause or postmenopause and questioning whether prescriptions are your only option, this conversation will change how you think about exercise and aging. 

Stay with me, because yoga and bone density may be the connection your bones have been waiting for.

My Guest:

A dedicated yoga practitioner since 1973, Dr. Fishman uniquely bridges rigorous medical research with practical, accessible movement-based solutions for long-term health.

Sore after workouts and wondering if that means your workout worked — or if something’s wrong with your body now that you’re in midlife?

If you’re rarely sore, always sore, or stuck believing soreness is the price of progress, this episode clears what soreness really means. Why it shows up differently for different women, and how menopause changes recovery without changing your ability to get stronger.

You’ll learn what the science says about muscle damage, inflammation, and why chasing soreness can actually slow your results.

If you want to train smarter, recover better, and stop letting ‘sore after workouts’ define your success.

Hormones and hot flashes with humor is exactly the kind of conversation women in midlife have been missing—real, honest, and refreshingly human.

Let’s get straight to what’s actually happening in your body when symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes, and fatigue show up.

Instead of treating midlife like a breakdown, we reframe it as a biological transition that deserves better information, better support, and better strategies.

Get ready for a fun chat about hormones and hot flashes with humor and content you want served in a dish you’ll love.
