Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill

• 477: From Hormone Fear to Hormone Pressure: HRT Isn’t Black and White for Midlife Women

  Join us on our FREE hormone education session at http://midlifeconversations.com/magic   What if everything you've been told about hormone replacement therapy is only HALF the story?  In this raw, personal episode, Natalie shares her own hormone replacement journey - from feeling amazing on HRT to discovering 30 fibroids and a dangerously thick uterine lining. She dives deep into why the pendulum has swung from hormone FEAR to hormone PRESSURE, leaving women confused and sometimes shamed for their choices. You'll discover why the infamous Women's Health Initiative study created decades of hormone fear, how your DNA actually determines whether hormones help or harm you, and why your detox pathways matter more than your blood test results. Featuring insights from Dr. Tyna Moore, Dr. Anna Cabecca, and Dr. Betty Murray, and personal stories from Dr. Amie and Jen Delvaux, we examine the various approaches and decisions women face regarding HRT, including the complex truth: there's no one-size-fits-all approach to HRT. Whether you're currently on HRT, considering it, or opting out, this episode aims to open up a thoughtful conversation about finding what's right for you. Because the truth about HRT really isn't black and white.  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

• 475: The Biggest Loser Trainer Reveals What Really Happened Behind the Scenes (It's Not What You Think) with Kim Lyons

  Did the reality TV show Biggest Loser permanently damage contestants' metabolisms, or is that just another excuse we tell ourselves? In this episode, we dive into the behind-the-scenes world of The Biggest Loser with former trainer Kim Lyons. Kim breaks her silence after years of staying quiet and shares her firsthand experiences from seasons three and four, and reveals what really happened behind the cameras, why the "damaged metabolism" theory makes her blood boil, and the shocking truth about why contestants really gained their weight back. Kim doesn't hold back as she exposes the difference between what made good TV versus what actually worked for weight loss, shares the real calorie numbers contestants were eating (spoiler: they weren't starving), and explains why she's tired of hearing medical experts who know nothing about the behind-the-scenes reality give opinions about the show. From the dangerous challenges that actually concerned her to the environmental factors that determined long-term success, this episode will change everything you think you know about extreme weight loss, metabolism, and what's really possible for transformation. Plus, Kim shares her controversial take on the current GLP-1 craze and why she believes the future of weight loss looks completely different than what we're seeing in Hollywood right now.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Kim Lyons:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/trainerkimlyons Website ➜ http://kimlyons.com/  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

• 474: Why I Chose Disc Replacement Over Spinal Fusion + 5 Weeks Post-Surgery Reality Check with Dr. Jared Ament

  Five weeks ago, I could barely sit without pain. Bending over to brush my teeth required a strategic plan involving core activation and glute squeezing. Sneezing meant grabbing onto furniture for dear life. Today? I'm sitting comfortably having this conversation with my neurosurgeon about why disc replacement surgery changed everything.  In this episode, join me and Dr. Jared Ament as we dive deep into the world of motion-preserving spine surgery. You'll discover why spinal fusion became the "standard of care" (hint: it wasn't because it was the best option), how disc replacement technology has evolved to achieve 96% success rates, and why insurance companies still call a procedure with 20+ years of data "experimental." Dr. Ament reveals the shocking truth about why most surgeons don't offer disc replacement, the real recovery differences between fusion and motion preservation, and what actually happens when you go "through the stomach" for spine surgery. We also tackle the controversial emotional vs. mechanical pain debate, discuss when stem cells actually help (and when they don't), and explore why chronic NSAID use might be sabotaging your healing. Whether you or a loved one suffer from degenerative disc disease, bulging or ruptured discs, this episode is packed with valuable insights from both a patient's and a surgeon’s perspective. Also, discover the benefits of nootropics in surgical recovery and daily cognitive function.    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Jared Ament:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drjaredament Website ➜ https://www.nsg-la.com/  Episode Links: Consult ➜ Reach out to:  [email protected]   Axon Mastermind ➜ www.AxonMd.com  For the episode Natalie referenced on a Genius Life go to: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-genius-life/id1379050662?i=1000698582182   Thank you to our show sponsors!
