We’ve tried it all — kale smoothies, fasting windows, cauliflower everything — and somehow, we’re still confused (and maybe a little hungry).

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the wellness pendulum — how food and diet trends keep swinging from one extreme to another, and why it’s so easy to get caught in the middle.

🍖 From vegetarian to carnivore, fasting to “always eat breakfast,” from the rise of clean eating to the guilt that creeps in when we can’t keep up — we’re getting real about what actually works for midlife women and what’s just another wellness bandwagon.

We share what we’ve learned after years of exploring diet trends — and finally finding the kind of balance that actually makes sense. Because not every wellness trend is here to save you… and that’s actually good news.

🥑 What We Talk About

  • The endless swing of wellness trends — and how social media, influencers, and even “science” headlines can send us spinning.
  • Why balance never trends, but it always works.
  • What we’ve actually learned about protein, fats, and fasting (without the guilt or spreadsheets).
  • The real science behind what helps women thrive in midlife — and what’s just noise.
  • How to step off the wellness scoreboard and eat in a way that feels good, sustainable, and judgment-free.
  • A peek at what’s next in Part 2 — The Wellness Pendulum: Trending Fitness, Gadgets & Finding Sanity in the Noise — where we’ll unpack how to stay healthy without being bossed around by your Apple Watch
