GLP-1s, GIP, and weight loss medications are everywhere right now....but what do they actually do in the body, and are they the right choice after 40? In this episode of Wellness After 40, we talk with Dr. Boev about the most talked-about weight loss drugs today, including GLP-1 and GIP medications. She breaks down how these medications work, why they are effective for appetite and weight loss, and why so many women in midlife are considering them.

Why Recovery Matters After 40: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Technology | with Lisa Benson of PAUSE

We spend so much time focusing on workouts, nutrition, and doing more for our health—but what if the missing piece is actually recovery? In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Benson, founder of PAUSE East Cobb, to talk about why recovery becomes essential after 40 and how to better support your body as it changes. We dive into what recovery really means (beyond just rest), common misconceptions, and how practices rooted in ancient traditions—like sauna and cold exposure—are now being paired with modern technology to support energy, strength, and long-term health. While these methods have been used for centuries, there is also a growing body of research supporting their role in reducing inflammation, improving circulation, aiding muscle recovery, and supporting overall wellness and longevity. If you’ve been feeling run down, low energy, or like your body just needs a different kind of support—this conversation will give you a new perspective on how to approach your health.

Why What Worked in Your 30s Isn’t Working Anymore at 40

If you feel like you’re doing all the “right” things — working out, staying active, trying to take care of yourself — but your body just isn’t responding the same way anymore… this episode is for you. In your 30s, certain habits worked. You could rely on cardio, push through low sleep, stay consistent “enough,” and still feel good in your body. But in your 40s, your physiology changes, and those same habits don’t always give you the same results. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the specific habits that stop working after 40, what’s actually happening in your body, and how to adjust in a way that supports your strength, energy, and overall health moving forward. This isn’t about doing more.  It’s about understanding what your body actually needs now. In this episode, we cover: *  Why cardio alone stops being as effective after 40  *  What’s really happening with sleep, cortisol, and recovery  *  How alcohol impacts your body differently in midlife  *  Why inconsistency hits harder now than it used to  *  The role of mobility, joint health, and hormonal changes  If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend or someone who might need to hear it.

In this episode of Wellness After 40, we’re exploring the powerful connection between gut health and how you feel in midlife—from energy and metabolism to inflammation and overall wellness.

We also take a balanced look at nutrition and supplements, including how they can work together to support your microbiome. Plus, we simplify the differences between prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, so you can make informed choices without feeling overwhelmed.
