Healing From Fasting (Part 1)
#91: “Fasting destroyed my health!" We’re putting the pieces together about WHY so many women are quitting fasting in this two-part series. First, we talk about how fasting got so popular, why it might feel amazing at first (but not later), and how the stack of under-eating, stress, and muscle loss can make it the straw that breaks the camel’s back for so many women in their 40s. Plus: that real popular fasting book (and what the research actually says). Don’t forget to listen next week for what to do instead of fasting! ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health supplements HERE, including my fall and winter favorites under the Immune Support Protocol (use code IAPODCAST) 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Beyond the Shot: GLP-1s and making them REALLY work for you with Jessica Brown
#90: Weight loss conversations are boring…unless you’re talking to clinical nutritionist, Stanford-certified compassion educator, and Beyond the Shot author Jessica Brown. Let’s talk about GLP-1s as longevity medicine, what they might do for inflammation, and why women in perimenopause and beyond have so much to gain from them. Plus: what microdosing really means, why I’d tell you not to use these the way I did, and Jessica’s story of body image…going all the way back to her birth. 👉 Find Jessica Brown and Beyond The Shot HERE 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health supplements HERE, including my fall and winter favorites under the Immune Support Protocol (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Are GLP-1s Are Cheating? + What To Wear In Your 40s
#89: Chico’s, Talbot’s, and Ever Eve, oh my! Liz & Jamie talk their sartorial choices (crew socks count!) and the Stacy & Clinton of it all. Then, they answer a burning (and brief) question about GLP-1s and give the download on what cell phone use and weight loss drugs have in common. Plus: skinny jeans, celebrity crushes, and the inner work that REALLY matters when it comes to weight loss. 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health supplements HERE, including my fall and winter favorites under the Immune Support Protocol (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Botox, Filler, and Facelifts: What We’ve Had Done
#88: A listener asked if we'd ever get Botox, filler, or plastic surgery, and (of course) it became a much bigger conversation. Jamie shares her under-eye plans, Liz confesses to a CapCut filter moment, and we sort it all into two buckets: purely cosmetic, and treatments that actually repair your skin. Plus: a sunscreen update, Endermologie; and of course, some golden retriever talk. No judgment here! Just two 40-something women being honest about a weird stage of life. 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health supplements HERE, including my fall and winter favorites under the Immune Support Protocol (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

The Holidays Are Coming. Don't Let Them Break You
#87: If you went from the sh!t show of summer straight into the sh!t show of fall, this is the bone we promised you last week: Liz shares what's actually working in the Body Recomp Done Right beta group heading into the holidays (no paywall required). This isn't a 30-day challenge; it's a roadmap for showing up for yourself the way you show up for everyone else—for long enough that it matters. Plus: why we're done arguing about Diet Coke (hello, refrigerator cigarette), the chicken-and-Chick-fil-A-sauce lunch that's almost perfect macros, and what to say at the work party when someone pushes a drink on you. 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health Daily Multi-Fiber, Daily Creatine+ and lots of other high-quality supplements HERE (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Periods, Puffers, and Perimenopause
#86: We start with periods, detour into the desperate search for a long puffer coat, get fired up about youth sports, and land somewhere actually helpful: when you know it's not JUST "perimenopause," you can start doing something about the part that's actually in your control (and fall is the perfect time). Plus: what a week at family camp did to Liz's cycle, and how to make sure the holidays don’t flatten you. 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health Daily Multi-Fiber, Daily Creatine+ and lots of other high-quality supplements HERE (use code IAPODCAST for 10% off or code Cool50 for 50% off Cool until 10/31/26) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Learning to Run and Letting Go of Perfect
#85: We start with Google Calendar and thongs, and we end up pregnant on a hill. In between, Jamie shares how she went from thinking four miles was insane to running half marathons, and what she'd tell anyone starting from zero (hint: don't buy new shoes just yet). Plus: a perfectionist confession, a nervous system reframe for the questioners, and an Office quote (if you're listening closely). 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right with code INSIDER20 HERE 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health Daily Multi-Fiber, Daily Creatine+ and lots of other high-quality supplements HERE (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

How To Feel ATHLETIC Again
#84: Liz got talked into a staff-versus-adults basketball game on vacation and came away convinced that most of us are missing that ATHLETIC feelin’! She and Jamie dig into why lifting alone doesn't quite scratch the itch, what actually makes women feel capable and athletic, and why how you get there matters.

Creatine! What you need to know RIGHT NOW
#83: Creatine is everywhere, and the conversation gets….confusing. Liz covers how creatine actually works; whether you need 3 grams, 5 grams, or 20; the problem with “gummies;” creatine and hair loss; and why your creatine tolerance problems might come down to something surprising. 👉 Learn more & join Body Recomp Done Right HERE until 9/7—use code PODCAST20 👉 Become an Ideal Age Insider HERE 🫶 Find MD Logic Health Daily Multi-Fiber, Daily Creatine+ and lots of other high-quality supplements HERE (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Health Decision Fatigue & Taking The Summer Off From Recomp

How Body Recomp Works For Regular People
#76: The fitness and nutrition content you see online might be real, but it’s not real FOR YOU. Liz and Jamie get into some of the most important stuff you need to know before you recomp, like why 3% better every year (not Hyrox Marathon and 9% body fat by summer) is the unsexy math that actually works, and why “accountability” is NOT the same thing as support.

Want to Balance Your Hormones? Listen to This.
#74: Dr. Alana Manson, PhD, is a neuroscientist/fertility scientist “hybrid” here to tell us that to truly balance and regulate our hormones, we’ve got to start where nobody else is looking: in the brain, where the “hormone hierarchy” begins. This conversation is going to change the way you think about your hormones, your fertility, perimenopause, and beyond!. Don't miss: the toothpick method, the physiologic sigh, and one gadget that actually makes sense to spend your money on. About Our Guest: Dr. Alana is a PhD scientist and published researcher whose expertise at the intersection of fertility science, neuroscience, and the reproductive microbiome gives her a unique perspective on hormone health that conventional training just doesn’t offer. She works with women with unexplained infertility and those with diagnoses like PCOS/PMOS, low progesterone, luteal phase defect, and beyond.

Every Recomp Plan Is Missing This
#73: Body Recomp Series! Liz and Jamie get into the ACTUAL thing that's standing between you and the results you want (and no, it's not your macros). They unpack why “doing it harder” backfires every time, why the negative self-talk spiral keeps you stuck, and how being settled in your body is what finally lets you make changes from solid ground instead of panic. It’s the work nobody wants to do, but that comes for all of us eventually. Plus: the all-in vs. all-or-nothing difference, why you're actually a creature of rhythm (not "muscle confusion"), and why questioning your “diet identity” might be the thing that actually frees you. 👉 Become a FREE Ideal Age Insider HERE 👉 Level up to Ideal Age VIP HERE 👉 Get your FREE trial of the Ideal Age Fitness App HERE (OR sign up as an Insider/VIP for special pricing) 🫶 Find MD Logic Health supplements HERE (use code IAPODCAST) ❓To ask us a question, go HERE 💓 Love us as much as we love ourselves?

Q&A: I Went Off The (Body Recomp) Rails. How Do I Fix It?
#72: Body Recomp Series! Liz and Jamie tackle a listener question that landed at the perfect time: what do you actually do when you've gone completely off the rails for a week? They get into why the real skill isn't staying perfectly on plan when life gets chaotic, and expose the real sh!t-stirrer: the all-or-nothing mindset that turns one missed workout into a long-term catastrophe.
