She also talks about why she thinks menopause gets framed as something women should dread when it can actually bring a surprising amount of clarity.We visit her childhood in San Francisco, where Margaret spent much of her time in her parents’ gay bookstore. She grew up around gay men, lesbians, nightlife and conversations about Harvey Milk, and she witnessed the devastating impact of AIDS on the community around her. Lauren and Margaret compare notes on what it was like to grow up around queer adults and hear things kids probably weren't supposed to hear.Margaret is also remarkably candid about what Hollywood did to her relationship with her body. She revisits All-American Girl, including being told she was too fat to play herself, and how the pressure to lose weight spiraled into severe anorexia and hospitalization.We also talk about aging parents, the pressure women face to stay thin and young and partnered, and the strange freedom that can come with getting older and caring a little less about meeting everyone else's expectations.And because no Margaret Cho conversation would be complete without some wonderfully random cultural detours, she tells us what she's been reading and watching lately, including celebrity autobiographies and Wife Swap.It's funny, candid, occasionally dark, and very Margaret Cho.Margaret's photo credit: Nick SpanosTickets to Choligarchy Tour and all things Margaret:https://margaretcho.com/The Kaye Ballard show we referenced: The Mothers-in-LawThis episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient GrainsGrand Teton Ancient Grains (ancientgrains.com)Use code Healthy10 for 10% off your order at checkoutWebsites, Cookbook, and Merchhttps://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/https://wellelephant.com/Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow us and reach out at:Email: [email protected]: @WellElephantInstagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother#MargaretCho, #Menopause, #MenopauseHealth, #HormoneReplacementTherapy, #HealthyAging, #WomenOver50, #MidlifeWomen, #AuthenticAging, #LGBTQVoices, #AgeLikeABadassMother, #Podcast,

In this episode, Lauren Bernick and Dreena Burton explore bloating, gas, digestion, fascia, jaw tension, stress, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, including the Chinese medicine concept of “dampness” and its connection to the Spleen and Stomach.According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, late summer is associated with the Earth element, the Spleen and Stomach, and the emotion of worry. Dreena explains the concept of “dampness” and how, within this framework, it can be associated with digestive complaints such as bloating, gas, IBS, fatigue, and a heavy, sluggish feeling.We also explore the surprising connection between jaw tension and the quads. If you've been seeing all those jaw-release videos on social media, Dreena explains why working on the fascia in your legs may sometimes help release tension in your jaw.Lauren and Dreena talk about their views on self-care. Are we nourishing ourselves, or have we simply created another giant list of things we're supposed to do?And lastly, Lauren shares a pretty hilarious self-care confession involving a video game for your vagina. 😂Flows for today's podcast https://fasciaflo.com/badass/Dreena's Main pages: fasciaflo.com/app and https://dreenaburton.com/Jujube Tea post: https://bit.ly/jujubeteahttps://www.instagram.com/dreenaburton/This episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient GrainsGrand Teton Ancient Grains (ancientgrains.com)Use code Healthy10 for 10% offWebsites, Cookbook, and Merchhttps://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/https://wellelephant.com/Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow us and reach out at:Email: [email protected]: @WellElephantInstagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother

Nelson Campbell joins Lauren Bernick to unpack the health misinformation that has shaped how we eat, think about disease, and understand what it means to be healthy, as well as the powerful interests that may have influenced what we've been told.In this fascinating conversation, Lauren Bernick talks with Nelson Campbell, co-author of The Whole Truth with his father, legendary nutrition researcher Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study.Nelson takes us behind the scenes of his father’s decades of research into nutrition, cancer, and chronic disease, and the forces he says have helped keep that information from reaching the public.But this conversation isn't just about what’s wrong with our healthcare system. It’s about what we can do differently.Nelson explains the difference between reductionism and biological wholism, and why trying to treat the body like a machine made up of isolated parts may be fundamentally flawed. We talk about his father’s research showing the relationship between animal protein and the cancer process, the enormous follow-up study that never received funding, and why Nelson believes our current healthcare paradigm is overdue for a major shift.We also dig into Nelson’s decades of work helping people experience the effects of a whole food, plant-based diet for themselves. His Plant Pure Nation programs produced dramatic changes in participants’ cholesterol and other biomarkers, and his documentary From Food to Freedom follows people with type 2 diabetes as they changed their diets.And then the conversation takes a surprising turn.Nelson challenges some of the rigidity and confusion that have surrounded the whole-food, plant-based movement, including the tendency to obsess over individual food components rather than viewing the diet as a whole. He makes a compelling case that whole foods like nuts, seeds, avocado, and coconut shouldn't automatically be treated like dietary villains, and that making healthy food delicious matters if we want this message to reach the mainstream.The Whole Truth: The Hidden Agendas Behind Decades of Health Misinformation - and What to Do About it by T.

She has been referred to as the “Mother of Mindfulness.” Through her famous counterclockwise study, where she put men in their 70’s and 80’s in an environment that was 20 years in the past, she illustrates how our mindset can influence our physical health. Spoiler, they all became “younger” and measurably healthier. We talk extensively about the mind-body connection and how stress can impact health and longevity. She schools us in the power of language especially when it comes to chronic disease. This is a rare experience to learn from someone who has devoted her life to the transformative power of mindfulness and its impact on health and aging.Her latest book, The Mindful Body is available now.Mindfulness (25th anniversary edition) (A Merloyd Lawrence Book)On Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativityhttps://www.ellenlanger.me/This episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient GrainsGrand Teton Ancient Grains (ancientgrains.com)Healthy10 for 10% offWebsites, Cookbook, and Merchhttps://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/https://wellelephant.com/Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow us and reach out at:Email: [email protected]: @WellElephantInstagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother#DrEllenLanger, #MindfulAging, #HealthyAging, #MindBodyConnection, #Mindfulness, #PsychologyOfAging, #AgingMindset, #LongevityMindset, #AgeLikeABadassMother, #TheMindfulBody, #Podcast,

She also shares her own struggle to balance staying healthy after reversing heart disease with making room for the things that truly matter: family, friends, travel, laughter, and simply enjoying life.This isn't about abandoning healthy habits. It's about recognizing that you don't have to do every wellness practice, every day, to age well. The healthiest life isn't necessarily the one with the longest checklist; it's the one you actually enjoy living.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why today's wellness culture can leave us feeling overwhelmed instead of healthierWhat Bryan Johnson's recent health diagnosis reveals about the limits of biohackingHow Lauren is simplifying her own health routine after years of pursuing optimal wellnessWhy perfectionism may be doing more harm than goodThe surprising longevity habits that science continues to support: community, purpose, movement, laughter, and meaningful relationshipsHow to create a realistic, sustainable approach to healthy aging without feeling like you're constantly falling behindIf you've ever felt guilty for skipping your supplements, missing a workout, or not keeping up with the latest longevity trend, this episode is your reminder that good health is meant to support your life, not become your life.Mentioned in This EpisodeEpisode 48: How Lauren Reversed Heart Disease with a Whole Food, Plant-Based DietEpisodes 82 & 91: Lower Your LDL Cholesterol Naturally with Dr. Michael GregerRecipes: WellElephant.comIf this episode made you think, please share it with a friend who could use the reminder to slow down and enjoy life.

We explore how environmental toxins, emotional burdens, and even the roles we play in everyday life can disconnect us from who we truly are.She discusses the impact of toxic load on health, and the lessons she's learned from the psychedelic experience with 5-MeO-DMT, a potent, fast-acting psychedelic found in plants and the venom of the Sonoran Desert toad. Inhaling it causes profound ego dissolution and non-duality states within seconds.We talk about why authenticity isn't something we achieve once and for all; it's an ongoing practice of becoming more honest with ourselves. Nikki feels that she wasn't on the path to true authenticity until she had her breast implants removed. Whether you're curious about holistic health, healing through psychedelics, personal growth, or what it really means to live authentically, this conversation offers plenty of insight and food for thought.Dr. Nikki built a Total Toxic Load Assessment, what she calls TOX, to investigate the three things no one looks at together: the toxins in your food, your home, and your own thoughts. It finally connects the dots. She's giving our listeners $50 off.

You know what to do. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. Yet somehow, nothing really changes.According to belief expert Shelly Lefkoe, the problem isn't a lack of willpower. It's the beliefs you've been carrying since childhood.In this eye-opening conversation, Shelly explains how the meanings we assign to childhood experiences become beliefs about ourselves, and how those beliefs quietly shape our relationships, careers, parenting, confidence, and happiness for decades.We discuss why evidence rarely changes deeply held beliefs, the five limiting beliefs most people carry, and why so many of us spend our lives trying to prove we're good enough, lovable enough, or worthy enough.Shelly also shares powerful insights into parenting, including how well-meaning parents unintentionally create limiting beliefs in their children and how we can do things differently.If you've ever felt stuck, self-critical, or trapped in patterns that don't make sense, this episode may completely change the way you see yourself and what's possible for your future.The Lefkoe Institute:https://www.mortylefkoe.com/Eliminate a limiting belief - go to @shellylefkoe on IG https://www.instagram.com/shellylefkoe/and comment Lauren27 Shelly will send you a link to eliminate a limiting beliefThis episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient GrainsGrand Teton Ancient Grains (ancientgrains.com)Use code Healthy10 for 10% off your orderWebsites, Cookbook, Classes, and Merchhttps://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/https://wellelephant.com/ACE Plant-based Eating Course https://discover.wellelephant.com/ace-plant-based-eating-course-reg/Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow us and reach out at:Email: [email protected]: @WellElephantInstagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother01:31 The Lefko Method and Its Origins08:30 Understanding Limiting Beliefs18:15 The Impact of Beliefs on Behavior23:08 The Meaning We Assign to Events31:10 Understanding the Meaning Behind Emotions31:21 Eliminating Negative Emotions33:18 Common Limiting Beliefs37:17 The Impact of Beliefs on Relationships41:19 Effective Parenting Strategies45:28 Raising Confident Children47:17 Steps to Eliminate Limiting Beliefs50:24 Introduction and Appreciation50:46 The Importance of Reviews and Community Support#ShellyLefko, #LimitingBeliefs, #MindsetTransformation, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfWorthJourney, #EmotionalHealing, #SubconsciousMind, #BreakThroughBarriers, #AgeLikeABadassMother, #MindsetMatters, #Podcast,

They weren't seeing her; they were projecting their own inherited fear and shame, expecting her to swallow it and pass it on. That's how the cycle works.In this mini episode, Lauren traces that conditioning to its roots: beauty standards largely set by men with a vested interest in keeping women chasing an impossible ideal: the body of a teenage girl. The media and beauty industry flood us with images of youth while aging women are rendered invisible. Men get to grow old in public. Women are told to fight it, fix it, hide it.Lauren's message is a rallying cry. Stop getting distracted by the noise telling you to look younger. Take your rage and use it! Protect the young women coming up behind you from predatory men and impossible standards, to demand that images of real, aging women are seen and celebrated, and to show up for each other the way bonobo monkeys do: fiercely, collectively, without leaving anyone behind.We are perfectly imperfect. It's time to act like it.Websites, Cookbook, Classes, and Merchhttps://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/https://wellelephant.com/ACE Plant-based Eating Course https://discover.wellelephant.com/ace-plant-based-eating-course-reg/Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow us and reach out at:Email: [email protected]: @WellElephantInstagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother

Filmmaker Dominique Debroux joins Age Like a Badass Mother to share insights from her documentary Wise Women: Humanity’s Untold Origins.

Dr. Michael Greger joins us to discuss his latest book and shares practical, evidence-based strategies for lowering cholesterol naturally through dietary changes. If you've been wondering whether you really need that statin prescription or how food can be your medicine, this conversation is for you.Understanding Cholesterol: Dr. Greger explains why LDL cholesterol matters so much for heart health and clarifies what our numbers really mean. He explains the relationship between cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease risk in terms we can actually understand and use.The Food as Medicine Approach We explore how a whole food plant-based diet can dramatically impact cholesterol levels. Dr. Greger shares which specific foods have been scientifically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and explains the mechanisms behind why they work.The Statin Question When are statins necessary? Dr. Greger offers nuanced guidance on evaluating your individual risk factors and making informed decisions about medication versus dietary intervention. This isn't about all-or-nothing thinking; it's about understanding your unique situation.Practical Implementation From specific supplements that can help to realistic strategies for making sustainable changes, Dr. Greger provides actionable advice you can start using today. He emphasizes that incremental changes can lead to significant health benefits over time.Empowerment Through Knowledge A central theme of our conversation is that understanding your personal health metrics puts you in the driver's seat. Dr. Greger encourages listeners to take control of their health through informed choices rather than feeling powerless or confused.After the interview, stay tuned as Lauren delves into her results and discusses why she still has high LDL even though she has proven heart disease reversal. https://nutritionfacts.org/https://nutritionfacts.org/book/portfolio/https://wellelephant.com/https://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/https://discover.wellelephant.com/ace-plant-based-eating-course-reg/Follow us and reach out at:Email: [email protected]: @WellElephantInstagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@AgeLikeaBadassMother#DrMichaelGreger, #NutritionFacts, #WholeFoodPlantBased, #EvidenceBasedNutrition, #PreventChronicDisease, #HealthyAgingScience, #FoodAsMedicine, #LongevityLifestyle, #AgeLikeABadassMother, #PlantBasedHealth, #Health, #LDL, #Podcast,
