You may have heard that changes occur for women after the age of 45, and that some of these changes may not be positive. Well, there is truth to the first, and as far as the second, health and body changes become a manageable life skill as women after 45 still can live their best life in optimal health. The focus needs to be the long game, not the short game, and reasonable goals that are appropriate for where our lives are going 45 and beyond. Jamie & Teresa will dive into this issue and specifically address concerns around weight management during the 40's and beyond, around exercise, nutrition, stress & sleep, which are essentially the 4 pillars of health we all need to be focusing on, no matter what age we are. Jamie & Teresa are not going to claim to have some magic pill, or magic diet, or protocol that is the right thing for every person, but hopefully you will take away some empowering tips and helpful advice that will allow you to make the best individual decisions for you health today! Enjoy and share with a friend you love.

In our last 2 episodes we discussed mental health awareness, and issues that women can suffer through, like trauma. One thing that unfortunately can occur is that birth doesn't always go the way we expect it too. If fact, for some women may be a traumatic experience and not a joyful one. We though it would be good for both of us to look back at our own birth experiences and share them with eachother. Jamie & Teresa have never shared this information with eachother before so it was all new, and fun to share and learn about how our birth stories went. We know how important it is for women to process these stories after birth and to realize we all have these individually unique experiences. Sharing allows for healing, and we hope you enjoy this podcast of just looking back and sharing our birth stories with eachother! We hope it inspires you to share your birth story whether it a friend, a family member, or even a professional, it is helpful, and birth is such a important and powerful experience in each woman's life.
