Description

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2469805/fan_mail/new] Belly fat in perimenopause and menopause isn't a willpower problem. It's a hormone problem. And a lot of the advice we've been following for years is quietly making it worse. Johanna breaks down what's actually driving visceral fat in midlife, why undereating and over-exercising are both backfiring. 🤩The Model Health Show https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-model-health-show/id640246578?i=1000763738884 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-model-health-show/id640246578?i=1000763738884] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/johanna.hart] 🎯Subscribe to me on Youtube for video content     • https://youtube.com/@notyourmothersmidlife?si=szq-KzWVC1RNqe-8 🎯Follow me on socials   • Instagram: www.Instagram.com/johannahart5      • Facebook: www.Facebook.com/johanna.hart.733   🎯Email me    •annahojtrah@yahoo.com  🎯Sleeping Tape    •https://www.queentape.com?bg_ref=0iCVnHvmmq

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2469805/fan_mail/new] Johanna is sharing an episode from Betwixt the Sheets — sex historian Dr. Kate Lister taking a deep dive into why cunnilingus has been stigmatised, feared, and condemned across cultures and centuries. It's history, it's fascinating, and it tells you a lot about how female pleasure has been treated throughout time. Also: Dr. Kate Lister has a new book out, and it's worth your attention. 🤩 Betwixt The Sheets https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/betwixt-the-sheets-the-history-of-sex-scandal-society/id1612090432?i=1000769092150 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/betwixt-the-sheets-the-history-of-sex-scandal-society/id1612090432?i=1000769092150] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/johanna.hart] 🎯Subscribe to me on Youtube for video content     • https://youtube.com/@notyourmothersmidlife?si=szq-KzWVC1RNqe-8 🎯Follow me on socials   • Instagram: www.Instagram.com/johannahart5      • Facebook: www.Facebook.com/johanna.hart.733   🎯Email me    •annahojtrah@yahoo.com  🎯Sleeping Tape    •https://www.queentape.com?bg_ref=0iCVnHvmmq

Lasers, Red Light and RF Microneedling — What Actually Works

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2469805/fan_mail/new] Johanna is sharing another conversation from the unPAUSED podcast — Dr. Mary Claire Haver with Dr. Tony Youn, board certified plastic surgeon and bestselling author of Younger for Life. This one moves from the science of skin into the practical: in-office treatments, at-home devices, and how to think about anti-aging without going down a rabbit hole. IPL, fractional CO2 lasers, chemical peels, radiofrequency microneedling, red light therapy — Dr. Youn covers what each one actually does and where the limitations are. 🤩unPAUSED with Dr. Mary Claire Haver — Dr. Tony Youn  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unpaused-with-dr-mary-claire-haver/id1846701533?i=1000768880815 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unpaused-with-dr-mary-claire-haver/id1846701533?i=1000768880815] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/johanna.hart] 🎯Subscribe to me on Youtube for video content     • https://youtube.com/@notyourmothersmidlife?si=szq-KzWVC1RNqe-8 🎯Follow me on socials   • Instagram: www.Instagram.com/johannahart5      • Facebook: www.Facebook.com/johanna.hart.733   🎯Email me    •annahojtrah@yahoo.com  🎯Sleeping Tape    •https://www.queentape.com?bg_ref=0iCVnHvmmq

Frailty Starts Earlier Than You Think — And Here's What to Do About It

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2469805/fan_mail/new] Johanna is sharing an episode from Dr. Tyna Moore's podcast where she talks how frailty is something most people don’t think about until it’s too late, but it’s one of the biggest predictors of whether you survive illness, recover from injury, or maintain independence as you age. It’s also the harbinger of doom for all cause mortality and dementia. In this episode, she breaks down why frailty isn’t just “getting older”, it’s a metabolic and muscular decline that starts earlier than you think and accelerates fast if you’re not actively fighting it. 🤩Dr Tyna Show https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dr-tyna-show/id1577258582?i=1000762531487 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dr-tyna-show/id1577258582?i=1000762531487] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/johanna.hart] 🎯Subscribe to me on Youtube for video content     • https://youtube.com/@notyourmothersmidlife?si=szq-KzWVC1RNqe-8 🎯Follow me on socials   • Instagram: www.Instagram.com/johannahart5      • Facebook: www.Facebook.com/johanna.hart.733   🎯Email me    •annahojtrah@yahoo.com  🎯Sleeping Tape    •https://www.queentape.com?bg_ref=0iCVnHvmmq

Feel Like Your Face Aged Overnight? You're Not Imagining It

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2469805/fan_mail/new] Johanna is sharing a conversation from the unPAUSED podcast where Dr. Mary Claire Haver sits down with Dr. Tony Youn — board certified plastic surgeon, bestselling author of Younger for Life, and the most followed plastic surgeon on social media. They cover something most doctors have never connected for their patients: what estrogen is actually doing to the skin, and why menopause changes everything. If your skincare has stopped working and you can't figure out why, this episode explains it. 🤩unPAUSED with Dr. Mary Claire Haver — Dr. Tony Youn  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unpaused-with-dr-mary-claire-haver/id1846701533?i=1000768527827 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unpaused-with-dr-mary-claire-haver/id1846701533?i=1000768527827] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/johanna.hart] 🎯Subscribe to me on Youtube for video content     • https://youtube.com/@notyourmothersmidlife?si=szq-KzWVC1RNqe-8 🎯Follow me on socials   • Instagram: www.Instagram.com/johannahart5      • Facebook: www.Facebook.com/johanna.hart.733   🎯Email me    •annahojtrah@yahoo.com  🎯Sleeping Tape    •https://www.queentape.com?bg_ref=0iCVnHvmmq
