Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

205: How Body Image Changes in Midlife


Listen Later

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered when the reflection looking back at you changed? Maybe you thought by this point in your life, you’d have stopped caring about how you look. Instead, you find yourself navigating new challenges—not just about weight, but about the profound ways your body evolves in midlife. What if I told you that the struggles you’re feeling aren’t just about aging but about reclaiming a power that was never meant to be lost?

In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I dive into the untold story of women in midlife and their shifting body image. From unexpected changes in hair texture and skin to the surprise of needing reading glasses, these aren’t just physical transformations—they’re emotional markers of time, identity, and resilience. We’ll explore why these changes can feel so challenging and how societal narratives have shaped our perception of aging. But more importantly, we’ll uncover how to flip the script and embrace a new story about what it means to be a woman in this stage of life.

I share my own experiences and those of my clients, highlighting the emotional weight of catching your reflection and seeing someone you barely recognize. Yet, this isn’t about fighting aging. It’s about challenging outdated myths, understanding the deeper layers of our struggles, and reclaiming the strength and wisdom that midlife offers. From debunking fears about menopause to redefining body care, this episode is packed with insights that will transform the way you see yourself.

So, if you’ve ever felt invisible, irrelevant, or frustrated with your body’s changes, this conversation is for you. Join me as we peel back the layers of aging and body image to uncover the powerful truth about midlife. You might just find that what’s ahead is even more beautiful than what’s behind.
