Weight loss changes more than your body. It can change how you see yourself, how others treat you, and the story you tell yourself every day. In today’s episode, I'm joined once again by registered dietitian, life coach, and Wellness Cottage co-founder Kim Lovely to talk about the emotional side of weight loss that so many women experience but rarely discuss. From body dysmorphia and identity shifts to navigating comments from others and adjusting to life after GLP-1s, Kim shares powerful insights on how to care for your mind as your body changes.

In Part 1 of this deeply personal conversation, Vic and I share the private health journey we’ve been walking through over the past year. A journey that challenged us emotionally, spiritually, and personally in ways we never expected. We talk about the uncertainty of not having answers, the emotional toll of navigating difficult news, the role faith played in carrying us through, and how this season ultimately brought us even closer together. After much prayer and consideration, we finally felt ready to open up about what we’ve been experiencing behind the scenes.

I Tried Red Light Therapy for My Knee Pain… Here’s What Happened

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with Bjørn Ekeberg, co-founder and CEO of Recharge Health, to unpack the science behind one of the fastest-growing wellness trends today: red light and near-infrared therapy. While many of us know red light for its cosmetic benefits, Bjørn explains why near-infrared light may be even more powerful when it comes to reducing inflammation, supporting recovery, improving sleep, boosting cellular energy, and helping the body heal itself naturally. I also share my own experience using the FlexBeam for knee pain and inflammation, and we talk about how wearable light therapy devices are making these treatments more practical and accessible for everyday life.

Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
