Hair loss is not one problem, and that is exactly why so many women waste time and money treating it the wrong way. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down the two most common types of hair loss in women, what may actually be causing thinning or shedding hair, and why your ferritin levels could be a major missing piece. She also walks through the science backed hair loss treatments that actually work, including minoxidil, scalp care, prescription options, and higher end treatments like red light therapy and PRP. Plus, she calls out the popular hair growth products and remedies that may be more hype than help.

Today, Chalene is breaking down what exactly it costs financially, mentally and physically to put on an event like Camp Be More. The real numbers. The biggest hidden expenses. Why AV is a financial jump scare. What the hotel makes you guarantee. How speaker fees actually work. And why people who do "quick math" on ticket sales are almost always wrong. Want to come this year but need some help? Text us at (949) 312-1868 She will also share how they choose a location, why they intentionally avoided weekend pricing, how she thinks about sponsors without turning the event into a gross sales floor, and the one part of an event that matters more than the speakers. If you've ever thought about hosting an event, or you just love the behind the scenes tea, you're going to love this one.   🎉 Camp Be More 2026!! Register Now!

Walking is great… but it is not building your glutes the way you think it is. Research shows brisk walking activates less than 32 percent of the glutes, and weak glutes are strongly linked to back pain, slower metabolism, and higher fall risk after 40. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the five science-backed glute exercises that actually turn your lower body back on and explains the subtle form tweaks that make all the difference. This is not about vanity. It is about metabolic health, structural strength, and protecting your body as you age. If you want stronger knees, a healthier back, and real lower-body strength after 45, this is where to start.

I told one small lie… and somehow ended up orchestrating three full blown ambushes across the city of Dallas. What started as a simple girls trip turned into wigs, disguises, fake Instacart drivers, a sign spinning maniac outside a restaurant, and an Uber driver blasting mariachi music while swerving to the beat. I had to keep everyone separated, stagger flights from the same city, invent a connection to Troy Aikman, and pray nobody compared notes. It was chaos. The fun kind. Bret's here too…  This one is messy, loud, and very on brand for what happens when women who've known each other for decades refuse to act their age.   🎉 Camp Be More 2026!! Register Now!

Midlife can feel like your body suddenly changed the rules. The supplements that once boosted energy, hair growth, and metabolism might now be causing bloating, acne, brittle hair, belly fat, dry skin, hormone imbalance, and even abnormal lab results. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the popular supplements many women over 40 are still taking that could be quietly sabotaging their health, thyroid labs, skin barrier, bone density, and hormones. If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore, this conversation will challenge what you think you "should" be taking. This is not about fear. It's about testing, not guessing, and making smarter choices in midlife.

Chalene Johnson breaks her usual rule of avoiding politics to talk about something far more disturbing. This episode digs into the newly released Epstein files, the outrage surrounding Dr. Peter Attia, and the uncomfortable question no one seems willing to answer. Why are some public figures facing real consequences while others remain completely untouched? This is not a partisan conversation. It is a deep dive into power, silence, and the accountability gap that continues to protect the most connected people in the world. 🚨This episode discusses sexual assault, exploitation, and abuse involving women and children. No graphic details are shared, but the subject matter may be upsetting for some listeners. 🚨   💪🏼Join Chalene LIVE on Feb 12th at 5 p.m. PST / 8 p.m. EST For "5 Reasons You Can't Drop Belly Fat After 40" Go to 👉 https://chalene.com/mistakes   💥Hang out with Chalene on Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more    🎯 Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

With the release of the new documentary series Handsome Devil: Charming Killer about Wade Wilson, Chalene shares the first episode of a Between Friends series exploring the psychology behind hybristophilia, the phenomenon where people become romantically drawn to violent criminals. In this first episode, she shares a personal story from early in her career that first exposed her to this behavior, then connects it to modern cases that reveal how attraction, manipulation, and control play out behind prison walls. This is not true crime for shock value. It is a psychological deep dive into why these relationships form, how dangerous men exploit empathy and attention, and why understanding these dynamics matters for personal safety.    🚨 This episode includes discussion of violent criminal acts and is not suitable for all listeners.

Birthdays usually come with baggage. This one didn't… and that surprised me. In this episode, I'm sharing the very specific thing I did that created a tiny mindset shift and completely changed how I look at birthdays. It started as a joke, stuck in my brain, and somehow turned aging into something that feels lighter and actually kind of fun. I have a feeling this might work for you too. I'm also recapping my birthday weekend which included a perfect day, a few unexpected realizations, and yes… somehow accidentally ending up completely butt naked in front of a total stranger.

In this life update, Chalene and Bret share what turned into a full blown catastrophe after a major flood destroyed their California beach house. They walk through the reality of dealing with insurance delays, massive financial decisions, and why coastal properties come with a level of risk most homeowners never see coming. Along the way, the conversation shifts into a surprisingly grounding discussion about money mindset, stress, and how quickly plans and priorities can change. It is honest, sometimes darkly funny, and full of hard earned perspective on loss, gratitude, and not letting stuff define your future. Chalene and Bret also the road trip chaos that took place on their way to visit Chalene's parents.    💥 Hang out with Chalene Live on Patreon!!
