As women in midlife, we’re constantly juggling all the things

So, what can we do to balance all of our to-dos without feeling totally burnt out

In this episode, we’re diving into the reality of energy changes during midlife and why committing to your own well-being is non-negotiable.

I’ve invited Dr. Kristen Holmes– an expert in optimizing human performance, especially in women– to share her powerful strategies for enabling autonomic control so you can feel your best in your body. 

We’re talking: 

  • Boosting mitochondrial energy
  • Improving recovery and metabolic health 
  • And feeling fully resourced every. single. day
  • We’ll break down the simple yet impactful habits you can start to help you reclaim your vitality—even with a packed schedule. 

    Because the truth is, no one is looking out for you the way YOU can. It’s time to prioritize yourself, show up fully, and start feeling amazing again!

      “If we focus on improving the health of our autonomic nervous system, we're going to then improve not only our competitive advantage just as a human but most importantly our survival advantage.”

      “I think it's really important for us to have the resilience to overcome the stressors and to show up for the people we love in this world.”

      “It's a cross we bear in perimenopause and menopause. We can't afford to wing it. And that's why I think this data can be really helpful.”
