The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance

After 365 days without alcohol, Chalene is opening up about the real reasons she took a break — and what totally surprised her along the way. This isn’t some dramatic sobriety story… it’s way more relatable than that. From unexpected health wins to awkward social moments, this episode dives into the good, the weird, and the “wait, no one told me that” parts of quitting drinking. Oh — and whether she’s popping champagne to celebrate? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Ever feel like you're living with someone who’s always running late, forgetting things, or totally oblivious to how much time has passed? Or maybe you're that person? In this episode, we’re breaking down time blindness—a real, brain-based struggle that affects people with ADHD, whether they’ve been diagnosed or not. Chalene opens up about what it’s like to live with ADHD as an adult and how it’s impacted her marriage, parenting, and those always-chaotic travel days. You’ll hear expert insights from Dr. Russell Barkley and personal stories from both Chalene and Bret, who also shares his hilarious (and brutally honest) rebuttal about what it’s really like to travel with someone who has time blindness. Whether you’re team “why can’t you be on time?!” or team “I swear I’m trying,” this episode is full of lightbulb moments, laughs, and a whole lot of validation.   🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!    👉http://chalene.com/more   Join the PodSquad on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChalenePodSquad   Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/   💪🏼Join the all-new Phase It!!

If your knees are feeling stiff, crunchy, or just not doing what they used to — you are not alone. In this episode, Chalene Johnson keeps it real and breaks down why your knees might be acting up (and yep, it’s probably not actually your knees). She’s talking hormones, tight hips, sleepy glutes, bad shoes — all the sneaky stuff no one tells you is connected. Plus, Chalene shares exactly what she’s been doing to feel stronger, more mobile, and basically better than she did in her 30s. If you’ve been thinking “I guess this is just what happens with age” — hit play, because that’s a lie we’re not buying.

Chalene’s unpacking the whole Lake Tahoe 4th of July trip — from airport chaos to karaoke in a Christian Uber, to what happens when security guards go full psycho. She also gets real about what it’s like traveling without Bret (spoiler: it involves four-inch heels, zero gate info, and lots of airport pacing). Plus, she opens up about her “non-drinking but not sober” approach, board game trauma, TikTok shopping obsessions, and the dark side of trashy reality TV like Love Island.   🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!    👉http://chalene.com/more   Join the PodSquad on Facebook! 👉https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChalenePodSquad   🎯 Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

Peptides are everywhere right now — hyped by influencers, marketed as the next big thing in anti-aging, fat loss, healing, and even libido. But are they actually safe? Are any of them FDA approved? And what’s the real difference between the peptides found in skincare and supplements vs. the ones people are injecting? In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down the facts, shares jaw-dropping stories, and reveals the truth about what works, what’s risky, and what questions every consumer should be asking before jumping on the peptide bandwagon.

If you've been curious about GLP-1s but assumed they're only for people with diabetes or major weight to lose—this episode will absolutely shift your perspective. Chalene sits down with Dr. Kathleen Jordan of MIDI Health to unpack everything from microdosing GLP-1s (like Ozempic and Wegovy) to their shocking brain-protective benefits, and even their potential role in reducing addictive behaviors like snacking or drinking. They cover why perimenopausal and menopausal weight gain feels so defeating, how compounding pharmacies work, and why GLP-1s might actually be part of a longevity plan. Oh, and if you’ve ever worried about backlash from “cheating” with a medication… this one’s especially for you.

If you've ever caught yourself celebrating taking out the trash like it's a major life achievement—girl, you're not alone. In this episode, Chalene gets real about body image, the emotional toll of performance culture (hello, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders), and why something as simple as the self-checkout line can feel like a final exam. From childhood ballet comparisons to reality TV-level body critiques, this episode unpacks how deep our body beliefs run—and how to start rewriting the script.    🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!    👉http://chalene.com/more   Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉 https://chalene.com/newsletter/   💪🏼 Join the all-new Phase It!!

Talking to a partner about sex stuff can be super uncomfortable — but it doesn’t have to be. In this juicy Part 2 episode, Chalene brings back intimacy expert Susan Bratton to tackle what’s really going on when a man seems less interested in sex, how to approach tricky conversations about hormones or ED without hurting his ego, and what women can do to spark desire and confidence in the bedroom. From surprising tools like penis pumps and nitric oxide boosters to simple mindset shifts around body image and fantasy sharing, this episode delivers the real talk most couples desperately need. It’s funny, raw, and packed with insights that could completely transform a relationship — and maybe even extend a couple’s longevity.   🎯Join Chalene on Patreon for 7 Days FREE for Ad Free The Chalene Show Episodes PLUS all of the other FUN content not suited for the regular show!!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🎯 Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

In this totally unfiltered episode, Chalene breaks down her wild girls’ weekend, complete with boat-day dance parties, self-tanner disasters, shuffle dance injuries, and the Great Bodega Betrayal. She also gets real about sleep struggles, narcissism overload on TikTok, and why posing for thirst traps is basically a sport.
