Hack My Age

Have you ever been told you have osteopenia and immediately felt your stomach drop? Or maybe you've never even had a bone scan and you're thinking, 'I feel fine, so my bones must be fine… right?'"
Today is the first episode in a 5 part bone health series, and we are going to start with screening, interpretation, and context, because bone health is one of the most misunderstood, and underestimated, aspects of women's health in midlife. 
We cover:
When bone density screening should start and why baselines matter

How bone scans, like DEXA, work and what they actually measure

The difference between T-scores and Z-scores and why context matters

Bone density vs bone quality, and why fractures aren't just about numbers

Actual risk factors for fractures and what we can do about it

Today we meet psychoanalyst Dr. Michael Bader who uncovers the mental blocks that silently shut down arousal in midlife and the surprising psychological technique that can actually bring your spark, and your erotic groove, back online.
We cover:
·   Why arousal is actually a psychological act of safety
·   The feelings that come up that shut down libido
·   Why fantasies are safety mechanisms, not guilty pleasures
·   The real reason long-term relationships can erode desire
·   How menopause and cultural pressures create a unique bind for midlife women
 
Dr. Michael Bader is a psychologist and psychoanalyst with over four decades of clinical experience, known for his pioneering work on the psychology of desire, intimacy, and sexual fulfillment. He is the author of the influential book Arousal: The Secret Logic of Sexual Fantasies, where he unpacks the hidden emotional and psychological meanings behind sexual fantasy and why it plays such a powerful role in human arousal.
Dr. Bader blends clinical depth with a refreshingly accessible style, helping people understand how unconscious fears, early experiences, and emotional dynamics shape their erotic lives. His work challenges shame, reduces stigma, and offers a compassionate, science-informed framework for sexual well-being.
Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Bader has served as a consultant, teacher, and writer on topics ranging from sexuality to social psychology, and he's widely respected for bridging the gap between psychological theory and everyday struggles around intimacy, pleasure, and connection.
