Introducing Dr. Vonda Wright: Formula to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle (Why your Current Workout is Not Giving You Results) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How often do you work out?

What’s been the biggest challenge in your fitness journey so far?

In today’s episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in active aging and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay feeling youthful as you age, lose stubborn fat, and improve your sleep,, this conversation is packed with life changing insights.

Jay and Dr. Wright start by debunking the myth that aging is an inevitable decline. Dr. Wright explains how lifestyle choices in your 20s and 30s directly impact how you feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. They dive into how excess fat, especially around the belly, isn’t just about appearance—it’s a sign of inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Wright shares how movement, muscle mass, and diet play a crucial role in fat loss and energy levels.

They also explore the powerful body-brain connection. Dr. Wright breaks down how physical activity releases key proteins that protect the brain from cognitive decline and diseases like dementia. Jay and Dr. Wright discuss how poor sleep can sabotage fat loss, slow down recovery, and disrupt hormones—leading to more cravings, weight gain, and reduced longevity.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How fat storage impacts aging and energy levels.

The critical role of sleep in weight loss and brain function.

How movement and muscle mass keep you youthful.

How lifestyle choices in your 30s affect long-term health.

Why fitness-based friendships can improve your health.

If you want to stay sharp, maintain a healthy weight, and build lasting habits that help you thrive for decades, this episode gives you the tools to start now.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Follow the show: Two Parents & A Podcast

Happy Thursday! This week, we dive into “default parent syndrome”—what it means, how it’s not good or bad (unless you’re experiencing it and you think it is!!), and how it could be your own fault if you’re the default parent?? But first - we talk about our housing update (I think we’re moving into a hotel… Eloise at the Plaza 🤝 Tate at the [insert Austin hotel here]), recap our Aspen trip (plus answered your questions about we handled childcare while traveling) and is it OK for babies to cry on planes (+ a bunch more of airplane talk lol).

Introducing LIZZO EXCLUSIVE: “Releasing The Weight Has Affected People” The Real Transformation Story She’s Never Shared Before from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How would your life change if your healing reshaped not just your body, but your entire way of being?

What if the real change wasn’t about losing anything—but about gaining a deeper connection to yourself?

In this deeply vulnerable episode, global superstar Lizzo sits down with Jay for an unfiltered conversation about loss, boundaries, transformation, and what it really feels like living in the spotlight. Lizzo shares how her loyalty to friends and her habit of seeing the good in everyone sometimes came at the cost of her own peace.

She shares what happened when she finally stopped chasing relationships that no longer served her—and how distance gave her clarity on who was truly in her corner. Lizzo opens up about the pain of letting people go, the reality of feeling isolated, and the music that came out of her lowest moments.

Lizzo dives deep into how the recent public scandal impacted her—and why she’s now more intentional than ever with her words, her energy, and her healing. Lizzo opens up about the responsibility of being a public figure, how her weight release journey evolved into a powerful personal transformation, and why she's chosen to let go of toxic energy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to Let Go of One-Sided Relationships

Why Some People Disappear When You Set Boundaries

How to Honor Your Emotions Without Editing Them

How Your Energy Shapes What You Attract

How Love Without Drama Becomes a Flow State

What It Means to Grow Apart Without Guilt

Why Intentional Healing Starts With Self-Awareness

Lizzo’s transformation is a reminder that you can still believe in people—and protect yourself. You can evolve—and still be soft. And you can face the hardest season of your life—and still come back to love.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Introducing Stacy London: Reinvent Yourself (and Your Style) in Midlife from The Tamsen Show.

Follow the show: The Tamsen Show

Why are women still expected to “stay in their lane”? Tamsen sits down with Stacy London, CEO, author, and former co-host of What Not to Wear. Now with her own QVC fashion line and decades of experience helping women feel seen, Stacy unpacks the emotional toll of high-functioning depression and why conversations about menopause are still considered risky in the professional world.

Stacy gets vulnerable, sharing why community and friendship are more essential than having a partner, and how to let go of outdated identities. Together, they dive into the messy, transformative beauty of midlife, exploring the unspoken truths about living in fear, reinvention, and how clinging to old clothes can keep you stuck. Stacy opens up about closing her business, redefining success at 55, and why evolution means saying yes, even when it’s uncomfortable. 

Stacy shares her expert advice on getting comfortable with your naked body in the mirror is the key to personal freedom and good style. 

If you’ve ever wondered if your best years are behind you, this episode is here to tell you: absolutely not!
