For years, Stacy London was the woman telling us what to wear (and what not to wear). But in this conversation, she’s talking about something much more important. On this episode of Beauty Is a Bitch , Stacy joins me for an honest, thoughtful conversation about what really changes in midlife…and it’s not just our closets. More than 20 years after I first interviewed Stacy and Clinton Kelly during the height of What Not to Wear , we reconnect to talk about aging, confidence, changing bodies, menopause, and why so many of the rules we’ve lived by no longer serve us. Stacy shares how her own thinking has evolved over the years, why women often panic as they age, and how she’s come to define beauty and style in entirely different ways. We also talk about the challenge of dressing bodies that don’t look—or feel—the way they once did, the freedom that comes from letting go of trends, and why personal style becomes even more meaningful in midlife. We also discover we have more in common than birthdays just one day apart. Both of us have undergone major spinal fusion surgery, leading to a candid conversation about how life-changing physical experiences can alter not only how you move through the world, but how you see yourself. This isn’t a conversation about looking younger or following fashion rules. It’s about learning to trust yourself, embracing the woman you’ve become and giving yourself permission to stop dressing for everyone else. If you’ve ever wondered how to find your style again after menopause, struggled to recognize your changing body, or questioned what beauty really means in this stage of life, Stacy’s insights will leave you thinking differently. In this episode, Stacy shares: Why our relationship with beauty changes in midlife How she now defines style versus fashion Why changing bodies deserve compassion, not criticism What she’s learned about confidence after decades in the fashion industry The surprising freedom that comes with aging What “Wear Whatever the F You Want” really means This conversation isn’t about clothes. It’s about becoming more comfortable in your own skin than you’ve ever been before. Show Notes Instagram; @stacylondonreal Web Series; Why’d They Wear That?

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing bodies fast. But what happens to your skin, face and overall appearance after dramatic weight loss? In this episode, Lauren sits down with New York Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. David Kashan to talk about the growing rise in “Ozempic face,” loose skin, body contouring, facelifts, skin removal surgery and the very real aesthetic side effects many people aren’t talking about. Dr. Kashan, who trained at the renowned Cleveland Clinic, shares what he’s seeing firsthand in his practice during the GLP-1 boom. Together, they discuss who is most affected by rapid weight loss, the most common procedures patients are requesting now, how long patients should stop GLP-1 medications before surgery, and whether non-surgical treatments can help improve skin laxity, facial volume loss and overall skin quality before considering surgery. If you’re a woman in midlife navigating weight loss, aging, confidence, skin changes or considering GLP-1 medications yourself, this conversation is packed with honest insight, practical advice, and expert perspective you’ll definitely want to hear.

We hear a lot about sleep—sleep hygiene, bedtime routines, blue light, magnesium… all of it. But what if the real issue isn’t that you’re bad at sleeping? What if you’re simply out of sync with your body? Here’s why this matters, especially in midlife. As hormones shift, many of us suddenly find ourselves exhausted at the wrong times, waking in the middle of the night, dragging through the day, or feeling like our energy, mood, metabolism and even our skin just aren’t functioning the way they used to. And according to today’s guest, it may have less to do with how much sleep you’re getting—and more to do with when. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Breus , a clinical psychologist, board-certified sleep specialist and one of the most recognized sleep experts in the world. He’s the author of The Power of When , where he explores how our chronotype—our body’s natural rhythm—impacts everything from sleep and focus to eating, exercise, productivity and aging. We break down what chronotypes actually are, how being out of sync with your biology can affect the way you look and feel, and why forcing yourself into routines that work for someone else may actually be backfiring. We also talk about the connection between sleep timing, hormones, skin, energy and longevity—and how small shifts can make a surprisingly big difference. If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel exhausted, foggy, puffy or just off… this conversation may explain why.

Glutathione is suddenly everywhere—being called the “master antioxidant” and linked to everything from aging and energy to skin and detox. But is it actually something we need to pay attention to… or just another wellness trend? Here’s why this matters—especially in midlife. As we get older, our natural levels of glutathione start to decline. And when that happens, it can show up in ways we feel every day: lower energy, slower recovery, duller skin, increased inflammation, and a body that just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nayan Patel, a pharmacist with over 30 years of experience and a leading expert on glutathione. He’s an adjunct faculty member at USC School of Pharmacy, founder of Auro Wellness, and author of The Glutathione Revolution . We break down what glutathione actually is, why it becomes more important as we age, and what happens when levels drop. We also get into the big questions—do we need to supplement, what forms actually work (and which don’t), and whether this is something foundational or just another thing being added to an already overwhelming list. If you’ve been feeling like your energy, skin, or overall resilience just isn’t what it used to be—and you’re wondering why —this is a conversation worth paying attention to.

Anxiety can feel like it comes out of nowhere in midlife—and once it shows up, it can feel completely out of your control. One minute you’re fine, and the next your mind is racing, your body is reacting, and you’re wondering… why is this happening now? In this episode of Beauty is a Bitch , I’m joined by Christopher Paul Jones, a leading Harley Street phobia expert and author of Face Your Fears . After overcoming his own phobias, Christopher spent more than 20 years researching anxiety and fear, developing what he calls the Integrated Change System™—an approach that combines psychology with practical techniques to retrain the brain’s response to fear. We break down what anxiety actually is, why it can feel so automatic, and how years of conditioning shape the way we respond to stress—often without us even realizing it. We also talk about why certain triggers can feel so disproportionate (even when we know we’re overreacting), and how midlife stress—hormones, responsibilities and just the general mental load—can amplify everything. Most importantly, we get into a simple but powerful technique called anchoring —something you can start using immediately to calm your nervous system and interrupt anxious patterns in real time. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or like anxiety is running the show, this episode will give you a completely different way to understand what’s happening—and what you can actually do about it.

Our relationship with food doesn’t stay the same forever—and in midlife, many women suddenly feel like the rules they followed for decades no longer work. In this episode, I’m welcoming back Elise Museles , certified Eating Psychology and Mind-Body Nutrition expert, creator of the Food Story Method, bestselling author of Food Story and host of the Once Upon a Food Story podcast. When Elise first joined me in Season 4, we talked about rewriting the “food story” many of us grew up with —the one shaped by diet culture, perfectionism, and that relentless inner mean-girl voice. But the conversation around food, wellness and women’s bodies has changed dramatically since then. Now, midlife women are navigating a much louder and more complicated landscape—hormones, metabolism shifts, endless wellness checklists and new pressures around everything from protein intake to GLP-1s. In this honest conversation, Elise and I revisit the idea of your food story through a midlife lens and talk about why so many women feel confused, frustrated, or even betrayed by their bodies right now—and what it actually looks like to rebuild trust with food and yourself. We talk about: What your “food story” really is—and how it shapes the way you eat and think about food Why midlife can suddenly make your relationship with food feel confusing or unstable How decades of diet culture impact women differently as their bodies change How to navigate today’s overwhelming wellness noise without feeling like you’re constantly failing Why rebuilding trust with your body matters more than following another set of rules If you’ve ever felt exhausted by food rules, frustrated by your changing body, or overwhelmed by the constant wellness chatter, this episode will help you step off the hamster wheel and rethink what nourishment actually means in this stage of life.

As we move through midlife, many of us start noticing subtle shifts in our brains — maybe it takes longer to find a word, focus feels harder than it used to, or multitasking suddenly feels overwhelming. It’s easy to assume these changes are just “part of aging,” but the truth is far more hopeful: our brains are far more adaptable than we’ve been led to believe. That’s one reason this episode feels especially important. For so many years we were told that cognitive decline was inevitable, that once certain abilities slowed down there was little we could do. But today’s research on neuroplasticity tells a very different story — one where the brain can continue to strengthen, retrain, and improve well into later life when given the right kind of stimulation. My guest today, Dr. Tere Linzey, is a Licensed Educational Psychologist and founder of BrainMatterZ, a program dedicated to optimizing core cognitive skills like processing speed, attention, memory and executive functioning. With more than 30 years in education and research at institutions including Harvard and UC Berkeley, she has focused her work on helping people understand how the brain can be trained to function more efficiently at any age. Together, we talk about what’s actually happening in the brain during midlife, how to tell the difference between normal aging and cognitive skills that can be improved with training, and why strengthening foundational brain functions can have such a powerful effect on confidence, focus, and everyday performance. Dr. Linzey also explains how menopause, stress and modern lifestyle pressures influence cognitive health — and what we can begin doing today to support our brains for the long term. A few things we discuss: • What neuroplasticity really means and how it allows the brain to improve at any age • How to distinguish normal aging changes from cognitive skills that can be strengthened • The impact of menopause, stress and lifestyle factors on focus, memory and processing speed • Practical steps to support long-term brain health and cognitive resilience If you’ve ever wondered whether the changes you’re noticing are simply aging — or something you can actually improve — this conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and far more hopeful about what’s possible.

The holidays have a way of stirring up everything at once — joy, nostalgia, gratitude, and for so many of us in midlife, a deep grief for the people and seasons of life we miss. It’s a complicated blend, and it can feel incredibly lonely… even when you’re surrounded by family and celebration. That’s one reason this episode feels especially personal to me. I was never someone who believed in signs — until after my father passed. And then… they started showing up. Little moments, small winks from the universe that landed exactly when I needed them most. Now I see them all the time, and the truth is: they’re always there. You just have to be open to noticing them. My guest today, Ann Bolinger-McQuade , understands this better than anyone. As an author and workshop facilitator, she has dedicated her life to helping people recognize these quiet messages — what she calls personal oracles — especially during times when grief feels heavy. After her own breast cancer diagnosis set off a series of life-changing experiences, Ann began to see the world as alive, supportive and filled with guidance. Together, we talk about why the holidays feel so emotionally charged in midlife, how to hold both joy and grief without guilt, and simple ways to honor the people we miss. Ann also shares how to notice the meaningful “oracles” that often appear during this heightened season, offering comfort and connection when we least expect it. A few things we discuss: • Why mixed emotions during the holidays are completely normal — especially in midlife • How gratitude and grief can coexist without canceling each other out • Simple ways to feel connected to loved ones who aren’t physically here If the holidays feel complicated for you this year, this conversation is a soft place to land — and a reminder that you’re never as alone as you think.

Your eyes do so much more than help you see — they quietly reveal how well you’re aging. In this episode, I’m joined by optometrist, author, and dry eye specialist Dr. Pam Theriot , whose decades of experience have made her a true expert on the intersection of eye health, longevity, and midlife wellness. We get into the surprising ways your daily habits, beauty routine, and environment affect the skin around your eyes, your tear film, and even your vision. Dr. Theriot also shares her own journey with chronic dry eye and how it shaped her mission to help people feel at ease in their eyes again. We talk about the biggest mistakes women over 40 make with their eyes, the beauty trends doing more harm than good, and the simple, everyday habits that help your eyes look brighter, feel more comfortable, and age more gracefully. Some of the things we’ll be discussing are: • How your eyes reflect internal health — and early signs of aging you shouldn’t ignore • Whether certain beauty trends (hello, lash extensions) are quietly damaging your eyes • What women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond should avoid to protect long-term eye health • The link between dry eye, screen time, and hormone changes in midlife If you’ve ever wondered why your eyes feel irritated, look tired, or seem to be aging faster than the rest of your face, this conversation is your roadmap to understanding what’s really going on — and what you can do starting today. Tune in to learn why caring for your eyes is one of the most important (and overlooked) parts of aging well.

In this episode of Beauty is a Bitch , we’re taking a deep dive into brain health and stress — but from a completely different perspective. My guest, Gilbert Martina , is a former healthcare executive turned ancestral health educator, and he’s here to help us rethink how we approach wellness, aging and emotional resilience. We explore why dementia rates are soaring in Western cultures while remaining strikingly low in certain Indigenous Amazonian communities, and what those differences can teach us about lifestyle, community and connection. Gilbert also explains how chronic stress accelerates brain aging , how ancestral rituals like storytelling, meditation and communal living can protect cognitive health, and why reconnecting with tradition and spirit might be one of the most powerful tools for longevity. For women over 50 juggling it all — work, family, and self-care — this conversation offers practical, simple daily practices to support both brain and emotional health. We also touch on i nherited trauma, its impact on the body and brain, and how to begin the healing process. As the holidays approach, Gilbert shares wisdom from his Caribbean heritage on finding peace, balance and resilience during stressful times — and how to take that first step toward a more grounded, connected way of living. Tune in to learn how honoring ancient wisdom can help you stress less, think clearer and age better — mind, body, and soul.

We’ve made real progress in talking openly about menopause, women’s health, and how to live longer, healthier lives. But there’s still one topic too many women shy away from in midlife: money . For a lot of us, conversations about finances were considered impolite, unfeminine, or just not our responsibility. Add in the realities of divorce, career changes, caregiving, or years of putting everyone else first, and it’s no wonder so many women hit midlife feeling financially unprepared or even ashamed. But what if shifting the way we think and talk about money could actually be the most empowering move we make? On this episode of Beauty is a Bitch , I’m joined by Amanda Barclay, Senior Financial Advisor and Senior Vice President with Merrill, A Bank of America Company. She’s not only one of Forbes’ “Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-in-State” in 2024 & 2025, but she’s also deeply passionate about helping women take control of their financial futures. Together, we’re digging into the money conversations we need to be having — with ourselves, our friends, our partners and even our kids. We’ll explore questions like: How can we make finances a regular, unapologetic part of our midlife conversations? What steps should women take to prepare for the unexpected — whether it’s divorce, illness or time away from the workforce? And what money mistakes do women make most often, and how can we avoid them? Amanda also shares her perspective on building confidence, narrowing the wealth gap, and why financial independence is about so much more than numbers. This episode is all about giving you the tools and mindset shifts to feel secure, confident, and powerful with your money.

In this episode of Beauty is a Bitch , we’re talking personal style — but not in the “what’s trending” kind of way. My guest, Elysha Lenkin, has spent over 30 years in the fashion industry (styling everyone from Serena Williams and Tina Fey to Carrie Underwood and O, The Oprah Magazine ), and now she’s on a mission to help midlife women use style as a tool for personal evolution. Elysha and I dig into why so many women reach that moment of standing in front of their closet saying, “Nothing feels like me anymore,” and what’s really happening underneath. We talk about the biggest mistakes midlife women make when trying to evolve their style, the voices in our heads that whisper “Am I too old for this? Is it too much?” — and how to quiet them. And of course, we break down how style can actually energize the next stage of your life and help you show up bigger, bolder, and more confident than ever. Elysha is also launching her first Style Evolution online salon series — a five-day event designed to help women redefine their wardrobes and their confidence at midlife. If you’re ready to stop settling for “good enough” and start showing up in style that truly reflects who you are now, you’ll want to sign up.

This week on Beauty is a Bitch , we’re diving into one of my favorite topics: how to age stronger, smarter and on our own terms. My guest today, Dr. Vonda Wright, is an orthopedic surgeon and internationally recognized expert on active aging and mobility. She’s spent 25 years helping everyone from elite athletes to professional dancers stay strong, injury-free and performing at their best—and now she’s sharing her expertise with the rest of us. Her new book, UNBREAKABLE: Go Strong. Live Long. Age with Power (coming out August, 26, 2025) is a powerful guide to building what she calls “shields” against the timebombs of aging—so we can extend not just our lifespan, but our health span . In this episode, we talk about why strength training is essential—especially in midlife—what push-ups and jumping can tell us about our longevity, and why it’s never too late to get stronger and feel better in your body. We also bust some of the biggest myths about women and aging—and Dr. Wright shares what she hopes every woman takes away from her book. If you’re ready to shift how you think about aging—and take back your power—this one’s for you. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: Pre-Order: UNBREAKABLE: Go Strong. Live Long.

If you’ve noticed your lower back doesn’t love planes, trains, or even the carpool line anymore—you’re not imagining it. As we age, our bodies become more vulnerable to travel-related back pain, especially for women over 50. But here’s the good news: there are simple, science-backed ways to feel better on the go—and today’s guest has the expert advice you need. Lauren sits down with renowned NYC spine surgeon and founder of The Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, Dr. Bolanle Okubadejo , to break down why our backs get cranky during travel, and what we can actually do about it . From posture hacks to lifting tips, and even small movement strategies you can do right from your seat, this episode is full of practical tools to help you protect your spine without relying on gimmicks or gear. They’ll also discuss why women over 50 are particularly susceptible to back pain, the common travel mistakes that make it worse, and how to stay mobile, strong, and pain-free—no matter where life takes you. If you’re heading out on vacation, commuting daily, or just tired of feeling stiff after sitting, this is your must-listen episode. Your spine will thank you.

This episode we’re diving into the intersection of aging and technology. My guest is Brent Franson, the Founder and CEO of Death Clock (yes, that’s really what it’s called), the world’s most downloaded longevity app . It may sound scary but promise it isn’t. It’s been named one of the “Techs That Will Change Your Life in 2025” by The Wall Street Journal , and has ranked in the top five of the U.S. App Store’s Health & Fitness category—so clearly, something’s working. We talk about how AI and tech are transforming the way we think about aging, prevention, and longevity , especially for women in midlife. Brent created Death Clock out of frustration with a system that only reacts when we’re already sick. His mission? Help people take proactive steps— before it becomes a health crisis. We explore why it’s never too late (or too early) to start investing in your future self, how tech can empower women over 50, and why tracking your habits might be the most life-affirming thing you do. Here is some of what you can expect in this episode: What the Death Clock app actually does (and why it’s not morbid at all) Why the healthcare system is reactive—and how tech helps you get proactive How AI can empower women in midlife to stay informed, independent, and healthy The surprising connection between daily habits and longevity How wearables and digital wellness tools are changing the game for aging If you’re curious about AI, aging, or just want to live longer—and better—this episode is for you.

This week on Beauty is a Bitch , I’m joined by renowned cosmetic dentist and oral health expert Dr. Jon Marashi to dive into a topic many women in midlife don’t think enough about: how poor oral health can silently fuel chronic disease. Dr. Marashi—whose celebrity clientele includes A-listers and top athletes—shares why what’s happening in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. From heart disease to bone loss to cognitive decline, research now shows that gum disease and poor oral hygiene can set off an inflammatory cascade with serious health consequences, especially as we age. In this episode, Dr. Marashi breaks down what midlife women need to know about oral care during perimenopause and menopause, why gum recession and sensitivity often show up in our 40s and 50s, and how daily habits (and the right dental visits) can make a major difference. We also discuss cosmetic dental treatments that can help you feel more confident in your smile, common myths about oral health and aging, and why paying attention to your mouth may be one of the best things you can do for your entire body. Trust me—you’ll look at your toothbrush a little differently after this one. Show Notes: Website: https://www.drmarashi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjonmarashi

Welcome back to Beauty is a Bitch , where we get real about aging, confidence, and owning your power in midlife and beyond. Today’s episode is extra special because I got to sit down with the one and only Julia Haart. You probably know her from the hit Netflix series My Unorthodox Life , but she’s so much more than that. Julia is a total force—a self-made entrepreneur, author and advocate for women’s empowerment. She’s lived a life of radical reinvention, going from an ultra-Orthodox community to becoming the CEO of major fashion brands and now launching her own shapewear line, Body by Julia Haart —which, by the way, includes my new favorite bra. Seriously. We got into it all—what it really means to feel sexy and confident as we age, how to break free from limiting beliefs, and why it’s time we stop shrinking ourselves just because society expects us to. We talked body image, personal style, reinvention, navigating criticism, and how to rewrite your story at any age. Oh—and we got on like gangbusters . I now consider her one of my besties (not in a creepy way, I promise). This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of truth bombs you don’t want to miss.
