EP: 173 How Inflammation is Holding you back in Menopause!

Feeling like your body turned on you in your 40s or 50s? Struggling with fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, and that "inflamed all the time" feeling? This episode might be the missing piece. I'm joined by Jim Davis, owner of Fire & Ice Wellness in Longmont, Colorado. After experiencing their infrared sauna and cold plunge for myself (yes, I did the ice bath!), I had to bring Jim on to break down EXACTLY what's happening in our bodies with these powerful recovery modalities — and why they matter even more during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode we cover: ✅ What "inflam-aging" is and why it hits women so hard in midlife ✅ The best place to start if cold plunging sounds terrifying to you ✅ How sauna, red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and cryo work together ✅ Whether this requires a big time or money commitment to feel results ✅ The unexpected benefit most clients walk away raving about ✅ How these tools shift not just your body — but how you FEEL about yourself This is a must-listen for any woman navigating hormonal changes who wants real, sustainable tools to reduce inflammation and feel like herself again. 🔗 Fire & Ice Wellness: https://fireandicelongmont.com/ 📲 Follow Fire & Ice Wellness on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fireandicelongmont/ 🖼️Check out the Before & After photo of Jim's clients hand =https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dt5r2CSUNUTAjxNVka6lH6y9VMzsqa8B/view?usp=sharing #perimenopause #menopause #hormonehealth #coldplunge #infaredsauna #inflammaging #weightloss #womenshealth #fitchicksandhormones #holistichealth #hormonalweightgain #midlifehealth #coldtherapy #heattherapy #redlighttherapy ➡️If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and share it with a friend who's navigating this same season of life — you could be exactly the reason she finds the support she needs. ⭐ And a quick rating and review means the world and helps other women find this show!💬 Ready to stop guessing and start seeing real results?DM me the word "RESULTS" on Facebook or Instagram — no sales pitch, just a real conversation about what's actually possible for YOUR hormones and YOUR body.📌 Connect with me & grab your free resources:🔥 Free Community → Join Fit Chicks & Hormones on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/fitchicksandhormones📖 Free Hormone Health Guide → Your starting point for feeling like YOU againhttps://fit-chick-express.kit.com/hormone_health📲 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/fitchicks_and_hormones/📲 Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/AngieMarone5🌐 Website → https://www.fitchicksandhormones.com✨ Ready for 1:1 Coaching? → Apply herehttps://fitchicksandhormones.com/apply-to-work-with-me/

EP: 171 The Mindset Shifts That Help Women Over 40 Stay Consistent Without Guilt or Burnout

Are you exhausted from starting over every Monday? In this episode, holistic hormone health coach Angie Marone sits down with fitness expert and women's health advocate Alicia Jones for an honest, no-fluff conversation about why women in perimenopause and menopause struggle to stay consistent — and what actually helps. Alicia has spent nearly two decades working with women over 45, and she knows that the problem isn't lack of effort. It's the mindset traps — guilt, perfectionism, and the relentless all-or-nothing cycle — that keep women stuck. Together, we dig into the mindset shifts that create lasting change, why "doing less" might actually get you further, how elevated cortisol during menopause makes the pressure you put on yourself physiologically harmful, and how to redefine what health success looks like in this season of life. This one is for every woman who has ever said "I've tried everything" — because you haven't tried this. 🔗 Find Alicia at aliciajoneshealthyliving.com | @ajhealthy on Instagram🎁 Grab her free masterclass: masterclass.aliciajoneshealthyliving.com/masterclass
