Today marks the final episode of Season 1, and we're taking a moment to look back at where it all began. In Episode 1, we asked a powerful question: Who do you see as your future self, and what are you doing today to become her? Over the past year of podcasting together, we've explored that question from many different angles. Again and again, we've come back to one important truth: our daily habits shape our future. The small choices we make consistently are what ultimately define who we become. As we close out this season, we encourage you to reflect on your own journey. How have you grown? What habits have you strengthened? And how much closer are you to becoming the person you envision for yourself? Most importantly, thank you. Thank you for listening, sharing, engaging, and helping us build such an incredible community throughout Season 1. Your support, stories, and encouragement have made this journey truly special. We're excited for what's ahead. Stay tuned for Season 2, and keep in touch with us on social media. If you haven't followed us already, we'd love to connect with you there and continue the conversation between episodes. Thank you for being part of Season 1. We can't wait to continue growing together in Season 2!

Why do so many women seem to develop autoimmune conditions during midlife? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between perimenopause, hormones, stress, the nervous system, gut health, and autoimmunity. With nearly 80% of autoimmune diseases occurring in women, this isn't just coincidence, it's a pattern worth understanding. We break down why conditions like Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis often become more noticeable during the hormonal transition years, and how chronic stress, emotional suppression, burnout, and gut dysfunction may contribute to immune system dysregulation. From nervous system regulation and gut healing to emotional processing and reclaiming your own needs, this conversation is about empowerment, not fear. If you've ever wondered why your body seems to be changing in midlife, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope.

In this episode, we're diving into burnout through the lens of perimenopause and midlife—a season where hormonal shifts collide with careers, caregiving, family responsibilities, and the invisible mental load so many women carry every day. We break down: • What burnout actually is (and why it's more than just stress) • How cortisol, sleep, and the nervous system become disrupted • Why perimenopause can make burnout feel so much worse • The connection between hormones, brain fog, anxiety, and exhaustion • Why recovery—not productivity—is the missing piece • Practical ways to support your energy, resilience, and nervous system This conversation is about understanding what's happening inside your body, recognizing the warning signs before you hit the wall, and learning how to rebuild your capacity to thrive. Because burnout isn't a personal failure. It's often the result of carrying too much for too long without enough recovery. And recovery is not a luxury—it's a necessity.

In this episode of What's My Age Again?, we're unpacking one of the most misunderstood hormonal shifts of perimenopause: estrogen dominance. While many women assume their symptoms are caused by declining estrogen, progesterone often drops first, creating an imbalance that can lead to heavy periods, breast tenderness, mood swings, anxiety, migraines, weight gain, poor sleep, and more. We explore why estrogen dominance is so common today, the role stress and environmental toxins play, and practical ways to support hormone balance naturally through nutrition, blood sugar regulation, stress management, detoxification support, and lifestyle changes.

Standing in the supplement aisle wondering why there are 24 different magnesium supplements? You're not alone. In this episode, we break down the real differences between magnesium glycinate, citrate, threonate, malate, taurate, oxide, and more — what they actually do, who they're best for, and how to choose the right one for your body. From anxiety and sleep to constipation, brain fog, hormones, and stress support, we're simplifying the magnesium madness once and for all.

If meal prep worked the way people say it does… you wouldn't still be ordering takeout halfway through the week. You plan, shop, prep—your fridge is full of good intentions. And then real life hits. You're tired, overwhelmed, short on time… and suddenly nothing you made sounds good or feels doable. So you grab something quick, skip meals, or order takeout—again. In this episode, we're breaking down why meal prep often fails (it's not a discipline problem), and how the way we've been taught to do it simply doesn't match real life. Because it's not about being more organized—it's about creating a system that works on your busiest, most chaotic days. What We Cover * Why traditional meal prep doesn't hold up in real life * The biggest planning mistakes (overcomplicating, overcommitting, rigid schedules) * How decision fatigue and mental load derail your week * Why "having no time" is often a systems problem—not a you problem Where to find us: IG @whatsmyageagain.podcast [https://www.instagram.com/whatsmyageagain.podcast?igsh=MWFmNmd3Ymx2bGltbQ==]  / FB - What's My Age Again Podcast  [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583115452397] Email us at:  [email protected] Where to find Tanya: IG @tlcholistic [https://www.instagram.com/tlcholistic?igsh=MWZhc3AwM2tuNXUyNQ==]/ FB @tlcholistic    [https://www.facebook.com/share/1548LWqYzdY/?mibextid=wwXIfr] https://www.tlcholistic.ca/ Book with Tanya: Join the TLC Community: https://www.patreon.com/tlcholistic Where to find Kim: IG @kimdesmarais.nutrition [https://www.instagram.com/kimdesmarais.nutrition/] /FB @KimDesmarais [https://www.facebook.com/kim.newton.585] https://www.kimdesmarais.com/

How often do you pick up your phone without even thinking? In this episode, we're diving into a missing piece of health: how constant stimulation from your phone and devices may be impacting your nervous system, hormones, sleep, and ability to detox. Because detox isn't just about food or supplements, it's about whether your body feels safe enough to function properly. And when you're always "on," your body stays in fight-or-flight mode, prioritizing survival over healing. If you're feeling inflamed, exhausted, puffy, or stuck despite doing all the "right" things, this could be why.

Creatine has long been labeled as a "gym bro" supplement—but emerging research is telling a very different story, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, we're cutting through the noise and breaking down what creatine actually is, how it works in the body, and why it may be one of the most supportive tools for energy, strength, brain function, and overall resilience during this stage of life. We explore how hormonal shifts impact muscle, metabolism, and cognition—and how creatine can help support these systems when they need it most. From muscle preservation and bone health to brain fog, fatigue, and metabolic changes, this is a practical, evidence-informed conversation designed to help you make confident, informed decisions. We also address common myths, who creatine may be most beneficial for, and how to use it in a simple, sustainable way. As always, this is not about quick fixes—it's about building a strong foundation and using the right tools to support your body through change. If you've been feeling more tired, less strong, or mentally foggy, this episode offers a grounded starting point to explore what might help.
