  • The Two Pillars of Longevity: Mastering Metabolism and Human Connection with Dr. Molly Maloof

    The Two Pillars of Longevity: Mastering Metabolism and Human Connection with Dr. Molly Maloof
    May 8 2024
    Get ready for an incredible episode with the amazing Dr. Molly Maloof. She's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to optimizing your health and longevity. We dive deep into the two key pillars that Molly believes are essential for a long, healthy life: metabolism and human connection. Molly shares her insights on how you can optimize your metabolism through personalized nutrition, blood-sugar regulation, and continuous glucose monitoring. She also emphasizes the crucial role that social connections play in your overall health and well-being. Loneliness can be more detrimental than smoking, drinking, sedentary behavior, and obesity combined! Molly provides simple tips on how to build and maintain a strong social network, even in the face of challenges like the pandemic. Throughout the episode, we touch on a variety of fascinating topics, from the importance of a diverse, whole-foods diet to the benefits of nature therapy and the power of mindset in healing. Molly's passion for helping people achieve optimal health is truly inspiring and I know you'll come away from this conversation with practical tips and motivation to take your well-being to the next level.

  • Do This Daily to Burn Fat & Build Muscle at the SAME TIME

    Do This Daily to Burn Fat & Build Muscle at the SAME TIME
    May 5 2024

    We've been told for decades that it's impossible to target fat loss and muscle gain at the same time (also known as body recomposition), but that's not entirely accurate. Rather than focusing on just your weight, you need to know what that weight is made up. If you're tired of the weight-loss roller coaster and ready for a more effective strategy, this episode is for you.

    Today, we delve into the critical role of protein, why lowering your sugar impact is essential, and the importance of movement, including resistance and HIIT training. Plus, I share my husband's jaw-dropping transformation as a testament to the power of these strategies. So, if you're looking to make a lasting change to your body composition, you won't want to miss this episode!

  • Beyond Weight Loss: How GLP-1 Agonists Are Redefining Health with Ashley Koff, RD

    Beyond Weight Loss: How GLP-1 Agonists Are Redefining Health with Ashley Koff, RD
    May 1 2024

    In this episode of Well Beyond 40, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley Koff, a registered dietitian with over 25 years of experience in personalized nutrition. We dove deep into the world of GLP-1, a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating appetite, insulin, and leptin. Ashley shared her insights on how to optimize your body's natural production of GLP-1 and when it might be appropriate to consider GLP-1 agonist medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc).

    We also discussed the importance of working with a qualified practitioner when considering these medications, as they can have significant effects on your metabolism and overall health. Ashley emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring to ensure the best possible outcomes. Whether you're looking to improve your metabolic health, manage your weight, or simply feel your best, this episode is packed with valuable information you won't want to miss!
