Well with Arielle Lorre

I’m officially 41, so I’m sitting down for a solo episode to talk about everything that has changed—and everything I know now—when it comes to looking and feeling my best.

I’m sharing how my approach to beauty has changed in my 40s, the treatments I’ll never stop doing, the one in-office treatment I’d choose if I could only do one, and the beauty trends I’m officially over (plus one you will absolutely never catch me participating in). I also get into how completely different my approach to fitness is now, why I’m working out less, how I’ve changed my body composition without dieting, and some of my more controversial fitness opinions.

Plus, I’m getting into the wellness trends I can’t do anymore, the advice I personally don’t follow, what we were all doing to stay skinny in the early 2000s, and the things I know to be true now that I’m in my 40s. Basically: what’s actually worth doing, what I’ve stopped wasting my time on, and what makes me look and feel better at 41 than I did a decade ago.

Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe is a PhD microbiologist, pioneer in translating cutting-edge microbiome science into clinically validated therapies and the co-founder and CEO of Pendulum. Her research focuses on the profound role our gut microbes play in metabolism, blood sugar regulation, immune function, and healthy aging, and she’s helping reshape how we think about chronic disease and longevity.

In this episode, Dr. Cutcliffe joins me to discuss the fascinating connection between the microbiome and everything from sugar cravings and weight management to natural GLP-1 production, hormones, metabolism, and aging. We separate fact from fiction when it comes to probiotics, fiber, fermented foods, and microbiome diversity, and dive into the exciting new research on specific probiotic strains that may help support blood sugar regulation, reduce cravings, and improve metabolic health. We also discuss what stress, travel, antibiotics, and modern life are doing to our microbiomes, what we can learn from centenarians, and why the future of women’s health may lie in understanding the bacteria living inside us.

With decades of experience helping patients age naturally, she’s known for taking a thoughtful, long-term approach to aesthetics that prioritizes harmony over perfection.

• How to get the best results from aesthetic treatments
• The most underrated skincare ingredient
• What every woman should start doing in her 40s

I’m back with a solo episode answering some of the questions you’ve been asking most lately. We’re covering everything from how I structure my workdays, what creator life actually looks like behind the scenes and how I think about money, investing, and the things I choose to spend on now versus five years ago.

On the beauty side, I’m sharing how my philosophy has evolved, the three treatments I’d keep if I had to start over, the procedure I wouldn’t do again, my thoughts on facial fat transfer, cosmetic surgery trends and the beauty insecurity I’ve finally let go of. I also weigh in on the treatments I think are worth the investment, and the ones I think we’ve collectively gone a little overboard on.

Finally, we get into some of your relationship questions, including dating with an age gap, the challenge of leaving a relationship with someone who’s a great person but not the right partner, what my divorce taught me, and a few updates on life lately, including the house remodel.
