So When Do I Take My Clothes Off?

When most of us hear GLP-1, we immediately think of Ozempic, Wegovy, weight loss, and all the controversy surrounding these medications.

But what if weight loss is only part of the story?

There's growing research into what these drugs might mean for everything from heart health and inflammation to sleep apnea, addiction, and even Alzheimer's.

So are we looking at something that could fundamentally change how we approach health and aging? Or are we getting a little ahead of the science?

Today we're joined by Dr. Melanie Dewar to help us separate the facts from the hype and explore what these medications may—and may not—be able to do.

Well like all good things we experienced some technical difficulty on this recording...our apologies. We felt like what Monica had to say was so good that we decided to post it anyway so just a heads up.

Does your husband have friends? And I mean REAL friends—not just your friends' husbands! 😂

Why is it that women seem to have girlfriends for everything, while so many men rely on their wives for their social lives? Is this a marriage thing, a male friendship thing, or something else entirely?

Join Phyllis and me for a fascinating (and probably very funny!) conversation with writer Monica Corcoran@prettyripe), whose article My Husband Has No Friends got us thinking about friendship, marriage, and the differences between men and women.

We have LOTS of questions, and we want to hear what you think!

So tell us…does your husband have friends? 👇

GLP-1s are everywhere—but are we talking enough about what happens to our nutrition, muscle, and strength while we’re taking them?

We had such a great conversation with nutritionist and exercise physiologist Heidi Skolnik, author of the new book Your GLP-1 Game Plan: What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You About How to Eat, Move, and Thrive on Weight Loss Medications.

We talked about what we should actually be eating, why protein and muscle matter so much as we age, and how to use GLP-1s without forgetting about the health of the body underneath the weight loss.

Whether you’re taking a GLP-1, considering one, or simply want to know how to stay strong and healthy as you get older, there is so much good information here.

And, as always, we asked the questions we wanted answered too.

Watch the conversation and let us know what surprised you—or what you still want to know.

We sat down with Christine Morrison, author of Clothes Minded, for a conversation about fashion, identity, aging and reinvention—and the stories our clothes tell about who we are and who we’ve been.

We talk about how our relationship with style changes as we get older, the memories we attach to what we wear, and what happens when we finally start dressing for ourselves.

And of course, we had to ask: So when do I take my clothes off? Maybe it’s when the clothes stop being about what we’re wearing—and start revealing who we really are.

Christine Morrison is a renowned journalist and the creator of Writing in Black and White, a newsletter and online platform that explores fashion and beauty through the lens of aging. After a career in advertising and fashion, including time at Calvin Klein, Christine reinvented herself as a writer in her 50s. She’s now the author of Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself, which uses the clothes she’s worn throughout her life to tell a much bigger story about identity, aging and reinvention.

She the entire conversaton live on instagram @getinthegroove1.

We did something a little different this week—we went Live on Instagram with one big question on our minds:

How do we live a full life with as few regrets as possible?

That took us in all sorts of directions. We talked about staying curious and continuing to try new things, what we think we're actually good at, what we're proud of accomplishing, and why it can sometimes be surprisingly hard for women to say those things out loud.

No guest, no script, no perfect answers. Just the two of us trying to figure out how to make the most of this stage of life—and reminding ourselves that there's still plenty we want to learn, try, experience and maybe even get wrong.

Because perhaps having fewer regrets isn't about getting everything right.

Maybe it's about staying curious enough to keep saying yes.

Hair loss is something so many of us experience, but we don’t always know what’s actually causing it, or what we can do about it. In this episode, we sit down with board-certified dermatologist and alopecia expert Dr. Kristen Lo Sicco to get the real scoop on thinning hair, hair loss and what happens to our hair as we age.

We talk about everything from hormones, genetics, stress and nutritional deficiencies to the treatments that actually have evidence behind them, including minoxidil, supplements, PRP and red light therapy. Dr. Lo Sicco also answers some of our biggest questions: Is it ever too late to treat hair loss? Do expensive over-the-counter products really work? How long do you have to stay on treatments? And what should women know about hair-loss medications when trying to get pregnant?

Most importantly, we talk about the shame and self-consciousness that can come with hair loss, and why wanting to feel like yourself again is not vanity.

What if some of the things women have been told to simply accept aren’t actually “normal” at all? In this episode, we’re talking with entrepreneur and women’s health advocate Cindy Eckert about the double standards that have shaped women’s healthcare for generations, from sexual health and menopause to the way women’s pain and symptoms are dismissed.

Cindy shares the story behind bringing Addyi to women, a pill she helped bring to market for women with generalized low sexual desire. Together, we'll chat about her belief that choice and knowledge are at the heart of better healthcare, and what it really takes to challenge an industry that hasn’t always taken women seriously. Plus, we talk about aging, intimacy, advocating for yourself, and why there’s no expiration date on wanting to live a full life.

What if we stopped holding onto things that no longer serve us?

This week, we're talking to professional organizer and founder of Imagine It Done, Lisa Jacobs, about why decluttering is about so much more than cleaning out a closet. Together, we'll explore why it's so hard to let go of our stuff, how clutter can affect our mental well-being, and why creating space in our homes can help us make room for the life we're living today. We also share our own struggles with sentimental keepsakes, kids' memorabilia, and the emotional side of letting go, while Lisa offers practical advice for getting started without feeling overwhelmed.

Whether you're downsizing, buried in clutter, or simply ready for a fresh start, this episode might be just the motivation you need.

How does your relationship with your body change over a lifetime? This week, we're joined by bestselling author, entrepreneur, and creator of the acclaimed one-woman show Old Woman Naked, Pamela Redmond.

Pamela shares how writing and performing this deeply personal show about her body transformed the way she sees herself, why she believes some of life's greatest opportunities begin after 50, and how embracing vulnerability opened the door to unexpected freedom. Together, we'll explore the pressures women face throughout every stage of life, the courage it takes to try something new, and why self-acceptance often comes later than we expect. So when do I stop hiding... and start embracing the person I've been becoming all along?
