You’re doing all the things. 

They don’t work. 

You’ve changed things. 

That doesn’t work either. 

If it seems you’re going through a revolving door of symptoms and trying to juggle responses but failing, this is for you. 

It’s not just that exercise needs change. 

Periodically, by the way. 

Every quarter during perimenopause, or at least bi-annually if you’re experiencing significant changes, you have to look closely at whether your exercise is causing inflammation or supporting muscle that will help you deal with it. It doesn’t matter if you’re lifting, you can still be in a moment of significant storm that results in your inflammation being up when recovery isn’t keeping up. 

We discuss the ways women doing all the things can still fail you if you’re not getting the foundation you need at the place you need it. We discuss cellular health, liver, detox and the key part these play in whether your lifting, walking and intervals will work. 

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start seeing results, this conversation will change how you approach doing all the things.

My Guest:

As Co-Owner and Chief Brand Officer of BodyBio, Jess Kane Berman leads brand strategy, education, and global growth, shaping the company’s voice at the intersection of cellular health, environmental wellness, and evidence-based medicine.

Jess blends science-backed insights with practical application, empowering women to move away from doing more and toward doing what’s right for them. Passionate about cutting through confusion, she helps women simplify their approach to fitness, nutrition, and overall health so they can feel stronger, energized, and back in control.

Flipping 50 Women's Retreats are each designed to challenge and stretch you. We challenge your fitness, your thoughts about aging, and menopause. We educate about hormones through exercise, nutrition and sleep choices. 

We always try to find motivation to move.

Truth is if we don’t fix this issue, we’re not going to fix sarcopenia, obesity, and osteoporosis or Alzheimer's. 

This conversation dives into the science of motivation, the difference between exercise vs. daily movement, and why healthy longevity (healthspan) matters more than simply living longer. You’ll also hear how to build sustainable habits, avoid burnout, and find movement you actually enjoy—because consistency is the real goal.

Movement—not just exercise—is the most powerful “medicine” for longevity. Despite decades of evidence, most people still struggle to stay active—not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack motivation to move.

My Guest:

Jordan D. Metzl, MD is an internationally recognized sports medicine physician, researcher, bestselling author, and fitness instructor who practices at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, the world’s premier orthopedic hospital. 

Dr. Metzl is a 40-time marathoner and 15-time Ironman finisher. He created the Ironstrength Workout, a functional fitness program for improved performance and injury prevention that has been performed by more than 1 million people. An elite athlete himself, he practices what he preaches. 

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

Who is the intended audience for PUSH?

There is a massive gap in understanding menopause from a male partner’s perspective—and why it’s causing unnecessary confusion, conflict, and disconnection in relationships.

Where to start? What they don’t know about menopause might kill them? Or us? 

In this episode I am joined by the author of the recently published book by a male, for males, but also valuable to women about navigating menopause with partners. 

Instead of focusing only on biology, this conversation dives into what really matters:

👉 Communication

👉 Emotional support

👉 Relationship dynamics

👉 Practical ways men can show up better

The episode highlights that menopause isn’t just a women’s health issue—it’s a relationship transition. When they know what they used to not know about menopause, it can actually strengthen connection and improve intimacy long-term.

My Guest:

Joe Warner is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author. His new book, Burning Up, Frozen Out - What Every Man Needs to Know About the Menopause (But No One Told You), explains how men can better understand and support their partners through menopause, while also taking better care of their own health.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

Why do so many men still struggle to understand perimenopause and menopause - and what impact does that have on relationships?

How can menopause affect connection, communication and day-to-day life as a couple in ways people might not expect?

What do men consistently get wrong - and how can you guide them to support you in a way that actually helps?

What are some simple, realistic ways partners can better support each other through this transition?

How can couples stay connected and on the same team when everything feels like it’s shifting?

Why can intimacy and libido become such a challenge during this stage - and how is it often misunderstood?
