Over 50 & Flourishing

Vaginal health is an important part of women’s health at every age, but it’s something we still don’t talk about nearly enough. In this episode, I’m joined by Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love and Vaginal Biome Science, to talk about what happens to vaginal health during perimenopause and menopause, the role of estrogen and the vaginal microbiome, and how women can feel more comfortable and informed in their bodies. We also dive into vaginal care, intimacy, arousal, and why our sex lives don’t have to change just because we’re getting older.

Wendy Strgar is an award-winning entrepreneur and women’s health innovator who pioneered BioMatched® technology and has led groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome.

Have you ever had a moment that made you realize your body isn’t quite what it used to be?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what happened when a three-mile walk in 101-degree heat left me dehydrated and weak, and the perspective it gave me on getting older. There’s so much wisdom that comes from experiencing life, and I’m breaking down the things I think we need to be especially mindful of at this stage, from fighting preventable decline to keeping our bodies and brains strong.

Ever wonder why your body suddenly responds differently in midlife, even when you’re eating and exercising the same way?

At 74, author and wellness educator Danna Demetre is opening up about one of the most painful chapters of her life: being betrayed by her husband at 67. She shares what happened, how she navigated heartbreak, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust, and why she ultimately chose to fight for her marriage.

We talk a lot about cancer prevention, but are we paying enough attention to our heart and bone health? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jaime Hope, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience, to talk about the health risks women need to consider now, not years down the road.

Dr. Hope and I dive into why cardiovascular disease is such a serious threat to women, why heart attack symptoms can look different in women than they do in men, and the warning signs you should never ignore. We also debunk some of the “heart-healthy” nutrition advice we’ve been given over the years, from low-fat diets to sugar, alcohol, processed foods, and more.

We talk about the bloodwork women should be asking for beyond standard cholesterol tests, the role of advanced heart imaging, how menopause and hormone replacement therapy can affect cardiovascular health, and why sleep, stress, nutrition, and daily habits all play a role in protecting your heart.

In this special birthday episode, I sit down with Vic to celebrate his 64th birthday, complete with Star Trek costumes and a birthday cupcake. We also have an honest & heartfelt conversation about health, aging, and what really matters as we get older.

Vic gives a full health update, and we talk candidly about the emotional weight of turning 64, the identity struggles that come with aging, and why our worth was never meant to be tied to our careers, our bodies, or what we can still do. With humor, vulnerability, faith, and a whole lot of love, Vic and I reflect on the season we're in and what he's dedicating his next year to.
