Heads and Tails

Episode 26: Midlife Masterclass: Ask Us Anything


Listen Later

In this special Ask Us Anything episode of Heads & Tails, Dr. Kate White and Jay White tackle some of the most common—and most important—questions they receive from listeners navigating midlife. From relationship challenges and people-pleasing to GLP-1 medications, menopause metabolism, hormone therapy after 60, and why we care so much what others think of us, this episode is packed with practical insights from both the biological and psychological sides of midlife.

In This Episode: ✔ Why you're often nicer to strangers than your spouse or family ✔ The hidden danger of "keeping score" in relationships ✔ Why caring what people think is normal—and when it becomes unhealthy ✔ The psychology behind the "spotlight effect" ✔ Are GLP-1 medications cheating? ✔ How menopause changes metabolism and increases insulin resistance ✔ Why GLP-1s may be especially beneficial for women in midlife ✔ Can you start hormone therapy after age 60? ✔ The truth about vaginal estrogen and urinary tract infections ✔ What hormone therapy can—and cannot—help after menopause

Key Takeaways • Unconditional love isn't unlimited. Healthy relationships require deposits, not just withdrawals. • Most people think about you far less than you think they do. • GLP-1 medications are not "diet drugs"—they may help correct metabolic changes associated with menopause. • It's rarely too late to have a conversation about hormone therapy with a menopause-trained clinician. • Midlife isn't a crisis—it's an opportunity for recalibration.
