    Heal Your Gut, Lower Inflammation, and Live Longer with guest expert Will Bulsiewicz, MD

    13/03/2026 | 1h 51 mins.
    Heal Your Gut, Lower Inflammation, and Live Longer with guest expert Will Bulsiewicz, MD
    While most of the wellness world is shouting about what to cut out, Dr. B is here to show us what we’ve been starving for: "Nutrition should be about adding more of the stuff that is missing, that our body terribly needs in order to be healthy". In this episode, I'm joined by triple board-certified gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to dissect the "triad" of your gut microbes, your gut barrier, and your 70% of your immune system.
    We’re moving past basic fitness to tackle the chronic inflammation that Dr. B found in over 130 different health conditions. From why you should be "refrigerating your sourdough" to create metabolism-boosting resistant starch, to the "second meal effect" that keeps your blood sugar stable for hours, this episode is a tactical roadmap for long-term vitality. And don’t worry—we still make room for the "Thai noodles" because your health is a practice, not a prison.

    In this episode, you will learn:
    Why you truly can’t out-exercise a poor diet
    How the gut–immune–inflammation triad impacts midlife health
    What trials reveal about saturated fat, seed oils, and inflammation
    How fiber naturally boosts GLP-1 and stabilizes blood sugar
    The “second meal effect” and why beans are metabolic magic
    How short-chain fatty acids enhance insulin sensitivity and satiety
    Why resistant starch (cooled potatoes, rice) improves metabolic flexibility
    The truth about whole grains and inflammation
    Algae vs. fish-based omega-3s and what to look for in supplements
    Why capsule form, refrigeration, and quality control matter
    How to increase fiber without bloating
    Small, practical steps that build long-term gut, immune, and metabolic resilience

    …And much more!

    Get Jumping!! Rebounder Workouts = Cardio without Impact

    I loooove my rebounder mini-trampoline workouts. Why? Efficient cardio without high-impact hurting my joints + the bonus of improving lymphatic flow.
    It's a great 1-2 punch to get a high energy, low-impact sweat on with the added benefit of using the trampoline as a step, bench and other uses to allow for building muscle (especially when you add-on the strength training kit for a true muscle-building workout!).

    Shatterproof Bones: Strength for Life with guest expert Dr. Vonda Wright

    25/02/2026 | 1h 14 mins.
    Shatterproof Bones: Strength for Life with guest expert Dr. Vonda Wright
    STRONG MUSCLES = LONGER LIFE (AND STRONGER BONES, A SHARPER BRAIN, AND MORE INDEPENDENCE)
    What if aging “gracefully” wasn’t about slowing down—but about getting stronger?
    In this episode, orthopedic surgeon and longevity expert Dr. Vonda Wright flips everything we’ve been taught about aging, menopause, bone loss, and frailty—and replaces fear with power, science, and action.

    From the biology of longevity proteins to why a single fall can change everything, this conversation is a wake-up call (and a roadmap) for building a body that can carry you through every decade of life.
    In this episode, you will learn:

    Why muscle contraction—not age—drives longevity, and how exercise boosts powerful longevity proteins like Klotho.
    How muscle, bone, brain, and gut constantly communicate, shaping metabolism, glucose control, and overall resilience.
    Why frailty and hip fractures are not inevitable, and how strength and balance act as protective shields against aging.
    How exercise functions as a “health savings account”, determining how well you recover from illness, surgery, or injury.
    Why bone health requires both density and quality, and when to ask for tools like DEXA scans and REMS ultrasound.
    What to do after a fracture at any age to support healing, protect future bone health, and prevent decline.
    Why smoking and vaping are devastating for bones, impair healing, and increase fracture risk.
    How chronic inflammation quietly weakens bone and muscle, accelerating frailty and loss of independence.
    Why upper-body strength is essential for daily function, including getting off the floor, out of chairs, and recovering from injury.
    How simple challenges like push-ups, planks, and grip strength translate directly to real-life independence.
    How to improve balance and fall prevention with easy “exercise snacks” like standing on one foot or tree pose.
    Why perimenopause changes the rules, and how to prepare your body with smarter training, nutrition, and recovery.
    How to use baseline data (lean muscle mass, bone density, fracture risk) to track progress and train more effectively.

    About Our Guest Expert:
    Dr. Vonda Wright is a renowned orthopedic surgeon, researcher, and leading authority on aging, bone health, and longevity through movement. She specializes in women’s musculoskeletal health, strength training for midlife and beyond, and preventing frailty, fractures, and loss of independence as we age.

    Dr. Wright brings a rare and powerful perspective—combining decades of surgical experience with cutting-edge research on how muscle, bone, brain, and metabolism communicate. She is a passionate advocate for proactive strength training, balance work, and intelligent exercise as essential tools for healthy aging, menopause resilience, and long-term independence. Through science-backed strategies and practical guidance, she empowers women to build strong bones, resilient muscles, and a body that supports them for life.

    Her work helps listeners move beyond fear of injury or aging and into confidence, capability, and strength—at any age.

    Durability Over Longevity: Build Your Pain-Free Body with guest expert Juliet Starrett

    19/02/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    Durability Over Longevity: Build Your Pain-Free Body with guest expert Juliet Starrett
    Do you feel like you're constantly "climbing" a mountain of health advice but never actually reaching the top? In this masterclass episode, Samantha sits down with Juliet Starrett—CEO, 3-time World Champion athlete, and co-author of the blockbuster Built to Move. Juliet breaks down why we need to stop looking for "hacks" and start returning to what she calls Basecamp. This is a system of five essential habits designed for the "busy working mom" who doesn't have time to meal prep or spend three hours in a sauna but refuses to settle for a body that feels like a prison.
    We’re diving into the "24-Hour Duty Cycle" and how to stop treating missed workouts like moral failures. From the secret of the "800-Gram Challenge" to the non-negotiable science of fueling your body within 30 minutes of a workout, Juliet gives us the practical, "no-weirdo-diet" blueprint for becoming durable enough to live fully and independently well into our 80s.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    The Basecamp System: The five critical daily habits that hold your health together when life gets chaotic.
    Durability vs. Longevity: Why "durability" is a more powerful term for survivors and high-performers.
    The 800-Gram Challenge: How to hit your fiber and micronutrient goals without the "prison" of constant tracking.
    Kitchen Island Steps: Why 8,000 steps isn't a workout—it's intentional movement you can accumulate in your own kitchen.
    Protein Timing: The "30 minutes or less" rule for women that changes the game for recovery and muscle building.
    Toxic Cardio vs. Mass: Moving past the "restrict" mindset to signal to your body that it is safe to build muscle.
    Low Energy Availability: Why under-eating is the secret scourge of midlife and how muscle mass actually lets you eat more.
    And so much more!!!!

    Juliet Starrett is a certified Master Nutrition Coach, co-founder and CEO of San Francisco CrossFit, co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Desk Bow and New York Times bestseller Built to Move, and co-host of the Ready State Podcast.

    Strong today, Independent at 80 with guest expert Hailey Babcock

    11/02/2026 | 58 mins.
    Strong today, Independent at 80
    with guest expert Hailey Babcock
    Are you still trying to use your 20-year-old fitness routine to solve your 50-year-old body's challenges? In this episode, Samantha chats with fitness powerhouse Hailey Babcock, founder of Haley Happens Fitness, about why the "cardio is king" era we grew up in is officially over.
    If you’ve felt intimidated by the new "heavy lifting" trend or confused by the conflicting advice on social media, this conversation is the breath of fresh air you’ve been waiting for.
    Hailey breaks down why muscle is the ultimate currency for longevity and how to safely navigate the musculoskeletal shifts that happen when estrogen begins to leave the building.
    This isn't just about "looking toned" (though Hailey has some spicy truths about that marketing buzzword!). It’s about building a bulletproof body that can survive a trip off a curb, a heavy suitcase, or a health crisis.
    From the secret importance of grip strength to the "dosage" of recovery you didn't know you needed, Hailey provides a roadmap for women over 40 to feel strong, energized, and—most importantly—capable for the next forty+ years.
    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    The Recovery Mandate: Why you can no longer "crush it" in the gym on four hours of sleep and a stressful schedule.
    Lifting Heavy vs. Lifting for You: How to find your personal "heavy" without risking injury or feeling like you have to be a powerlifter.
    The "Long and Lean" Myth: The scientific truth about muscle growth and why "toning" is a misleading concept.
    The Mozart Method: Why strength is a skill that requires a foundation before you try to play the "masterpieces" of max-strength training.
    Hidden Weak Links: Why your grip strength and your foot stabilizers are likely the "limiting factors" holding back your progress.
    The Bone Density Blueprint: Why your bones need "torque" and why pogo-jumps might be the most important move you aren't doing.
    Polarized Training: The reason 15 minutes of "sprint" training—though miserable in the moment—is essential for your brain and your reaction time.
    Strength Vs Skinny: Why strength training isn’t just for younger women—and why “strong beats skinny” is the new rule.
    Hormonal Nuance in Midlife: How hormonal shifts after age 40 change recovery, performance, and exercise needs.
    The Babcok App Differnece: How expert insights from Dr. Stacy Sims and Dr. Vonda Wright integrated into her programs (Be sure to catch those episodes a well -- Ep. 51 for Dr. Sims, Ep. 56 for Dr. Wright!)
    …and much more about how to feel strong, capable, and energized at every stage of midlife.

    About Our Expert, Hailey Babcock:
    Hailey Babcock is the founder of Hailey Happens Fitness, an online fitness and nutrition brand dedicated to empowering women over 40 to feel strong, confident, and energized through every stage of midlife. With over 20 years in the fitness industry, Hailey has guided more than 50,000 women through her programs and is on a mission to make strength training approachable, safe, and effective.

    How to Move Now to Age-Proof Your 80's with guest expert Vanja Moves

    04/02/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    How to Move Now to Age-Proof Your 80's
    with guest expert Vanja Moves
    Is your body starting to feel like a stiff, achy "prison"? For many women in midlife, rolling out of bed in the morning has become a symphony of pops, cracks, and "grumpy" joints.
    In this episode, Samantha sits down with mobility expert Vanja Moves to challenge the cultural lie that physical decline is an unavoidable part of the aging process. Vanja shares the striking inspiration behind her philosophy and explains why "decades of neglect" are often mistaken for "getting older".
    This conversation is a deep dive into reclaiming your physical agency. Vanja reveals why your one-hour gym session might not be enough to save your joints if you’re sedentary for the other 23 hours, and she introduces the "Movement is Medicine" framework. This episode isn't just about fitness; it’s about building a body that allows you to remain independent, vibrant, and capable well into your 80s and 90s.
    What You’ll Learn:
    The Grandmother Test: The simple floor-movement metric that predicts your long-term physical independence.
    The "Medicine" Dosage: Why your current injuries aren't a reason to stop moving, but a reason to change your "dosage" of movement.
    Western vs. Eastern Mobility: The hidden reason why Eastern cultures don't suffer from the same "age-related" mobility issues we see in the West.
    The Squat Myth: Why common gym advice about "protecting your knees" might actually be making your joints weaker and more prone to injury.
    Movement Snacks: How to integrate "organic" human movement into your busiest days without ever stepping foot in a gym.
    The Estrogen Connection: How building lean muscle mass can act as a powerful ally for your body when hormones begin to shift.
    Mind-Muscle Literacy: The secret to "rewiring" your brain to control your body’s end-range of motion safely.

    About Our Guest Expert:
    Vanja Moves is a movement and longevity expert who teaches a transformative approach to living in your body. Through her Movement is Medicine philosophy, she combines movement science, nervous-system literacy, strength training, and identity reprogramming into practical tools anyone can use to move better, feel stronger, and reclaim their physical life.
    Vanja brings a unique perspective by treating movement as more than exercise—it’s a catalyst for mental clarity, stress relief, and personal growth. Her approach helps people reset, build discipline, expand capacity, and rewire their identity from the ground up.
    Through Instagram, YouTube, and her podcast Making Moves, Vanja reaches millions with insights that cut through trends and misinformation, providing simple, actionable strategies that stick. She is a trusted guide for anyone looking to feel capable, grounded, and fully in charge of their body and life.

    I loooove my rebounder mini-trampoline workouts. Why? Efficient cardio without high-impact hurting my joints + the bonus of improving lymphatic flow.
    It's a great 1-2 punch to get a high energy, low-impact sweat on with the added benefit of using the trampoline as a step, bench and other uses to allow for building muscle (especially when you add-on the strength training kit for a true muscle-building workout!).

From Emmy Award-winning TV journalist (Dancing with the Stars, Entertainment Tonight) to breast cancer thriver, #1 bestselling wellness author, and Certified Health Coach -- I'm here to guide you to be your healthiest yet! Blindsided by breast cancer at age 40 ignited something so powerful that it compelled me to search for the answers we all need to successfully mitigate risk of chronic disease, and live more vibrantly and healthier than ever!

It allows me the wiggle room to live fully, not fearfully. And now you can, too! I'm fiercely dedicated to giving you the tools needed -- with alternating episodes of solo, science-backed coaching sessions and renowned, in-demand guest wellness and medical expert interviews.
