Too Young To Be Old with Diane Gilman, The Queen of Jeans

In this episode of Too Young To Be Old, Diane Gilman, the iconic “Queen of Jeans” and host of the show, sits down with Colleen Kupka, a hormone health expert, to tackle one of the most complex and misunderstood phases in a woman’s life: menopause. Together, they discuss everything from hormonal changes to dietary shifts that can ease menopausal symptoms and the misinformation that can make the journey challenging. Diane and Colleen bring clarity to topics that many women face in silence, empowering listeners with knowledge to take control of their health.

Diane and Colleen dive deep into the nuances of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical hormones. Colleen shares her personal journey through menopause, shedding light on the differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones and the importance of being informed about hormone therapy options. They discuss the controversial study from 2001 on HRT and cancer risk, debunking myths and explaining why bioidentical hormones can be beneficial.

Colleen highlights the crucial role diet plays in managing menopause symptoms, especially for weight maintenance and reducing inflammation. She emphasizes a plant-based diet, recommending plenty of greens, whole grains, and avoiding inflammatory oils. Together, they discuss how making mindful food choices—like swapping out processed foods and vegetable oils for healthier alternatives—can reduce inflammation and support overall well-being.

One of the key points Colleen discusses is the impact of inflammation on aging. She explains how certain foods, like dairy and processed oils, can increase inflammation, which exacerbates menopausal symptoms and accelerates aging. Diane shares her own struggles with inflammation, prompting Colleen to offer practical advice on anti-inflammatory foods and lifestyle adjustments.

Diane opens up about her experience with weight gain during menopause, a struggle familiar to many women. Colleen provides insights into why these changes occur and what women can do to manage weight more effectively. They discuss the benefits of weight-bearing exercises, dietary adjustments, and supplements like vitamin D to combat osteoporosis and support bone health.

In a candid exchange, Diane and Colleen debunk several pervasive myths surrounding menopause and aging. They address topics like soy consumption, the confusion surrounding cholesterol medications, and the importance of maintaining a diet that supports longevity. Colleen warns against relying on medication as a “quick fix” for lifestyle issues, advocating instead for natural solutions whenever possible.

In this episode of Too Young To Be Old, Diane Gilman, formerly known as the Queen of Jeans, introduces listeners to an innovative concept that merges fashion and wellness: the wellness wardrobe. Diane shares her personal experiences and insights on how curative clothing can empower women, especially those over 50, by improving comfort, addressing health concerns, and enhancing overall well-being.

Diane starts the conversation by explaining the concept of a "wellness wardrobe," which she refers to as "fashion-suiticals." This revolutionary approach to fashion goes beyond aesthetics, focusing on clothing that serves a functional, health-boosting purpose. Diane shares how, as we age, clothing can do more than just make us look good – it can also help alleviate common health concerns like aches, joint pain, and swelling.

One of the standout points of the episode is Diane's discussion on compression wear. She emphasizes the benefits of garments like compression stockings, copper-infused tops, and knee sleeves that promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, and provide comfort for joint pain. Diane candidly shares her personal struggles with lymphedema following breast cancer, highlighting how these garments have made a significant difference in her life.

Diane opens up about her experience with curative clothing for joint pain, specifically mentioning her reliance on copper-infused leggings and shirts to alleviate discomfort. She acknowledges that while these items may only offer 20% improvement, that’s often enough to make a noticeable difference. Diane encourages listeners to explore options like copper-infused garments and other compression wear, sharing that it's been instrumental in managing her own aches and pains.

Diane also touches on her sensitive skin and her history with skin cancer. She recommends rash guard clothing with SPF protection for those who are sensitive to sunlight or concerned about skin damage. She highlights that these garments are not only functional but also fashionable, allowing women to stay protected while looking great.

Another key topic Diane addresses is cellulite and water retention, issues many women over 50 face. She introduces her listeners to lymphatic drainage leggings, anti-cellulite shapewear, and other solutions designed to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. Diane emphasizes that while these garments may not entirely eliminate cellulite, they can provide real relief and comfort for everyday wear.

For those dealing with hot flashes or cold sensitivities, Diane highlights the benefits of temperature-regulating clothing. She shares her love for brands like We Norwegians and Cordova, which offer cozy, insulating leggings perfect for cold weather. She also recommends cooling garments for those hot summer days, underscoring the importance of clothing that adapts to your body’s changing needs.

Throughout the episode, Diane emphasizes that the demand for wellness-oriented fashion is growing, particularly among women over 50. She encourages listeners to embrace this trend as part of their self-care routine, offering a way to stay stylish while also taking care of their bodies.

Together, they explore the emotional, mental, and spiritual hurdles that come with a life-changing diagnosis, as well as the strength, resilience, and perspective it brought into Sarita's life.

As both women reflect on their personal battles with cancer, they offer deep insights into coping with trauma, navigating cultural expectations, and finding purpose through adversity. This conversation is a powerful testament to the human spirit and how challenges like cancer can lead to thriving, not just surviving.

1. Breast Cancer Awareness and Personal Stories

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Diane and Sarita open up about their individual experiences with breast cancer. Sarita shares her emotional diagnosis, discovering that she had not one, but two different types of cancer in each breast. Diane reflects on her own journey, including the time she ignored early symptoms due to her career demands.

2. The Burden of Responsibility as First-Born Daughters

Both Diane and Sarita are first-born daughters of immigrant families, and they discuss the unique responsibilities this role entails. Sarita reflects on being a caregiver not only in her family but also in her professional life, which added pressure during her cancer battle. Diane relates, offering insights into the cultural pressures that can make it difficult to prioritize self-care.

3. Genetic Testing and Preventative Surgeries

Sarita talks about her genetic testing journey, discovering she was BRCA1 positive, which put her at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers. She describes the decision to have a preventive surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes following her diagnosis and her feelings about entering medical menopause.

4. The Mental and Emotional Toll of Cancer

The episode dives deep into the emotional impact of cancer. Sarita shares how she compartmentalized her emotions during treatment, only to be hit by a wave of feelings once the physical battle ended. She found healing through journaling and yoga, which helped her process and regain her emotional and spiritual strength.

5. Thriving Post-Cancer: Redefining Life and Purpose

Both Diane and Sarita explain how cancer forced them to reevaluate their lives and make significant changes. For Sarita, this meant leaving the corporate grind and pursuing self-employment, allowing her to design a life that prioritized her well-being and family. Diane discusses how her experience shifted her spiritually and led her to focus on helping other women navigate similar challenges.

6. A Message of Hope and Empowerment

Throughout the conversation, Diane and Sarita emphasize the importance of mindset. They encourage listeners to view adversity as a teacher, not as a victimizing experience. Both women convey that while cancer was a difficult journey, it also provided them with the strength, perspective, and purpose to live fuller, more meaningful lives

In this episode of Too Young To Be Old, hosted by the iconic Queen of Jeans, Diane Gilman, listeners are treated to an engaging discussion with Dr. Suptra Tovar, a health psychotherapist, clinical health psychologist, fitness expert, and registered dietitian. Dr. Tovar’s mission is clear—realigning people's relationships with their bodies and food, freeing them from the chains of diet culture and body shaming. Together, Diane and Dr. Tovar unpack the toxic elements of diet culture and discuss the psychology behind eating habits, body image, and how society influences both.

Dr. Tovar emphasizes the role of the industrialization of food and how it has fundamentally altered our relationship with what we eat. She introduces the concept of "craveability experts" employed by food companies to make foods more addictive, making it harder for individuals to maintain a healthy relationship with eating. The discussion touches on how food and the pharmaceutical industries profit from this system, contributing to unhealthy lifestyles and dependence on medications that treat symptoms rather than the root causes of poor health.

Dr. Tovar passionately advocates for a shift away from traditional dieting, highlighting how most diets set people up for failure by leading to a harmful cycle of weight loss and regain. She outlines the physiological and psychological factors that come into play with dieting and encourages listeners to reject the diet culture mindset, which prioritizes thinness over health. Instead, she promotes a holistic approach to health, encouraging individuals to focus on well-being rather than conforming to societal expectations of beauty and body size.

Diane and Dr. Tovar discuss the immense pressure society places on women, especially as they age, to maintain unrealistic standards of beauty. Social media filters, photoshopping, and advertising perpetuate this toxic culture, leading to widespread body shaming and dysmorphia. Dr. Tovar offers practical tips to help individuals curate their social media feeds, encouraging them to block or unfollow accounts that make them feel bad about themselves. She stresses the importance of creating a digital environment that promotes mental and physical health.

One of the key takeaways from Dr. Tovar’s approach is the idea of reconnecting with your body and honoring its natural signals. She explains how hunger is a positive signal that should be acknowledged rather than suppressed. By tuning into our bodies and understanding what they need, individuals can achieve balance without restrictive diets or unhealthy habits. Dr. Tovar provides insights into mindful eating, encouraging listeners to slow down, be present with their food, and listen to their body's cues for hunger and fullness.

Dr. Tovar shares three practical tips for rejecting diet culture and improving overall health:

1. Curate Your Social Media Feed – Unfollow or block accounts that promote unhealthy beauty standards or make you feel insecure. Instead, follow content that brings joy, whether it's cute animal videos or inspiring messages.
2. Limit Exposure to Advertisements – Avoid advertising and fashion magazines that push products and unrealistic body ideals. Use that time to engage in enriching activities like reading, learning a new skill, or spending time on a hobby.
3. Set Boundaries with Toxic People – Surround yourself with supportive people and set boundaries with those who promote unhealthy behavior or body shaming.

Andrea Berkowitz, an entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor, brings a deeply personal story of strength and perseverance to this episode. Diagnosed with breast cancer not once, but twice, Andrea’s journey has been one of courage, self-reflection, and transformation. She now dedicates her life to advocating for women’s health, sharing her wisdom on overcoming adversity, and embracing purpose after surviving breast cancer.

Diane and Andrea open the conversation by discussing their respective experiences with breast cancer. Diane reflects on her own cancer journey, recalling how she refused to let fear consume her, and instead used the experience to re-evaluate her life. Andrea shares her emotional story, beginning with her initial diagnosis 11 years ago, just before her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, and how she navigated the fear and uncertainty that came with it. Both women discuss the importance of self-exams, advocating for your own health, and staying positive through treatment.

In 2021, Andrea was diagnosed with a second, more aggressive form of breast cancer, unrelated to her initial diagnosis. She explains how her approach to this battle was markedly different from her first experience. After spending time researching, worrying, and feeling overwhelmed during her first diagnosis, Andrea chose a path of positivity and strength the second time around, empowering herself through mindset shifts and focusing on what she could control.

Diane and Andrea reflect on how their experiences with cancer reshaped their lives. Both women made significant changes to their lifestyles—choosing to eliminate toxic influences and focus on self-care, meaningful relationships, and finding joy in everyday moments. Andrea discusses her journey with a cancer dietitian and how she shifted her perspective on diet, health, and well-being. She emphasizes the importance of living with purpose and surrounding oneself with positivity and supportive people.

A central theme of this episode is finding purpose and empowerment through adversity. Andrea shares how her experiences with breast cancer gave her a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude for life. She now coaches and supports other women going through similar journeys, using her story to inspire hope and resilience. Diane, too, found a new direction after her own cancer journey, turning to podcasting and advocating for women over 50.

1. Self-Advocacy Is Essential: Andrea and Diane both stress the importance of advocating for your own health, particularly with regular self-exams and trusting your instincts when something feels off.
2. Positivity Makes a Difference: While fear is natural, both women emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and not allowing cancer to define or consume your life.
3. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Letting go of toxic relationships and focusing on positive, supportive people was a key part of both Diane and Andrea’s healing process.
4. Purpose After Cancer: Andrea and Diane found new purposes in their lives post-cancer, using their experiences to inspire and empower other women to live fully, no matter their age or challenges.
