Low energy in midlife can make you feel like your body has its own agenda, even when you are doing the workouts, buying the supplements, and trying to eat “right.” Wellness mentor Lindsey Kaszuba, founder of Health Club Collective and a mom of three, joins Amy Sherman to show why that stuck feeling is so common and how a steadier approach to midlife health starts with mindset and health, not more rules. If you want to know how to feel better in your body without turning wellness into a second job, this is your listen.Lindsey’s work is built on body trust, so the health mindset shift stays grounded in real life. You will hear how simple health habits help you notice what drains your energy and what supports it, plus a way to treat low energy in midlife like a bank account you can protect. She shares her simple plate rule for balanced meals, which makes eating feel repeatable instead of confusing, and offers sustainable weight loss habits you can stick with even when life is busy.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Midlife Health, Low Energy, and Why You Feel Stuck09:48 Lindsey Kaszuba’s Story and Breaking Free From Diet Culture14:27 Health Mindset Shift for Perimenopause and Menopause18:00 The Energy Bank Method to Fix Low Energy in Midlife23:05 Balanced Meals and the Simple Plate Rule31:15 Sustainable Weight Loss Habits and Ditching the Scale42:08 Wellness Industry Reality Check on Quick Fixes and GLP-1 TrendsConnect with Lindsey Kaszuba:Follow Lindsey on InstagramVisit Lindsey’s websiteShop this episode: You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learn more about our podcast topics.

The real K-Beauty philosophy has less to do with 12 steps and more to do with how you treat your skin every day.Korean skincare routines often get labeled as complicated, yet Elle Choi Son reframes it as disciplined consistency rooted in culture. Skincare in her world starts early and centers on hydration, layering, and protecting the skin barrier. Healthy skin is the baseline. Everything else builds on that. From winning Miss Korea Washington at 18 to carving out a niche as a Korean American makeup artist, Elle learned early that great makeup begins long before foundation ever touches your face.Amy and Elle cut through the noise of viral trends and overflowing bathroom shelves with a return to basics: cleanser, toner, moisturizer, sunscreen. Build the habit first. Then explore Korean beauty products with intention, whether that means testing some of the best Korean skincare brands or trying newer categories like PDRN skincare. They also talk honestly about trend-driven products such as at-home micro-needling formulas and why more product does not equal better results. The takeaway is calm and practical. Let skincare absorb before applying makeup. Protect your barrier. Keep it simple when life gets busy. Glowing skin rarely comes from one miracle product, instead, it comes from consistent care you can sustain.Episode Breakdown:00:00 K-Beauty 101: Why Korean Skincare Is Different04:13 The Korean Skincare Routine Philosophy and Cultural Roots09:37 K-Beauty for Beginners: The Essential Starter Routine11:34 Elle’s Real-Life Korean Skincare Routine and Favorite Products23:19 Skincare Ingredients Explained: PDRN, Actives, and What to Avoid26:12 Viral K-Beauty Trends and Influencer Myths34:26 Five-Minute Makeup Routine That Starts With SkincareConnect with Elle Choi Son:Follow Elle on InstagramFollow Elle on TikTokShop this episode: You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learn more about our podcast topics.

GLP-1s and bariatric surgery are powerful medical tools, and the real risk is starting them without understanding what long-term weight maintenance actually requires.This conversation pulls obesity treatment out of the culture wars and back into medicine. Dr. Betsy Dovec, one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the country,speaks plainly about what long-term care actually demands, whether someone chooses bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or a combination of both. The question beneath it all is simple and uncomfortable: are you looking for a short-term result, or are you prepared for a long-term strategy?There is honesty here about weight regain, about the reality that stopping GLP-1 medications often leads to reversal, and about why a plan for maintenance matters more than the initial drop on the scale. The discussion touches on Microdosing GLP-1, the rise of GLP-1 oral medication, and how access and expectations shape outcomes. It also moves into GLP-1 for menopause and perimenopause, acknowledging how hormones change the metabolic equation for women and why GLP-1 inflammation benefits may explain why some feel better beyond weight loss alone.This episode challenges the shame narrative. Obesity is treated as a chronic metabolic condition influenced by biology, environment, and hormones. The deeper takeaway is not which tool to choose, but whether you are approaching your health with clarity about what sustainable care truly involves.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Bariatric Surgery Explained: What It Really Is09:11 Long-Term Weight Loss Success and Maintenance Strategies11:57 GLP-1 Medications, Ozempic, and Weight Regain Reality18:04 Hormones, Perimenopause, and GLP-1 for Women28:00 Visceral Fat, Fatty Liver, and Metabolic Risk37:01 Modern Bariatric Surgery and Recovery TimelineConnect with Dr. Betsy Dovec:Follow Dr. Dovec's InstagramVisit BodyByBariatrics WebsiteFollow BodyByBariatrics TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉🏻 Join the Wellness Junkies community: • Follow us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@wellnessjunkiesofficial ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram • Subscribe to our newsletter • Shop this episode + our faves on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMyShop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • NEW!

Sometimes the most useful wellness advice is simply paying attention to what you already reach for.In this episode of Wellness Junkies, Amy reflects on what it actually means to trust your own taste when it comes to beauty, skincare, and wellness. The conversation centers on choosing products based on lived experience rather than trends, and noticing which ones quietly earn their place in everyday routines. There is an ease to the way she talks about shopping, rooted in paying attention to what supports real life instead of chasing what is new.Skincare plays a central role, framed around ease, comfort, and how products feel over time. Amy explains why certain formulas stay in rotation and how her standards have shifted toward performance and simplicity. The emphasis stays clear and grounded. Fewer products that do their job well tend to support routines better than crowded shelves and big promises.Overall, the episode offers a steady reminder that wellness does not need to be complicated to be effective. Let your daily habits guide your choices, trust what you genuinely enjoy using, and allow your routines to evolve by letting go of what no longer fits.Episode Breakdown:00:00 A Real-Life Product Junkies Episode02:20 Favorite Beauty Products, Skincare, and Fashion Finds08:51 What I’m Watching and Reading Right NowShop this episode: You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learnmore about our podcast topics.

Wellness works best when you stop chasing trends and start paying attention to what actually delivers results.This conversation cuts through the noise of modern wellness and skincare culture and asks a question many people quietly wrestle with: how do you know what is worth your time, money, and trust. Lindsay shares how her approach to clinical-backed skincare grew from seeing firsthand how skincare science outperforms hype when results matter. From daily routines to bigger wellness choices, the focus stays on simplicity, consistency, and supporting the body rather than overwhelming it. What changes when hydration becomes a priority rather than an afterthought?The discussion also explores Veriphy Skincare and its biotech foundation, offering a grounded perspective on why clean beauty works best when it is paired with real clinical data. Lindsay explains why fewer products can outperform crowded routines and why disciplined growth builds stronger brands and better outcomes. The same thinking shapes how she evaluates companies as an investor, where integrity, clarity, and long-term vision often matter more than speed or flash.Throughout the episode, themes of balance, leadership, and self-trust surface again and again. How do you build a full life and a meaningful business without burning out? How do you filter wellness advice when everything claims to be the answer? This conversation offers a steady reminder that effective wellness starts with hydration, informed choices, and the confidence to do less when less works better.Episode Breakdown:00:00 On Wellness, Joy, and Everyday Rituals10:36 The Journey of Veriphy Skincare14:59 Understanding Phytospherics and Its Benefits18:32 Skincare Trends, Hydration, and What Actually Works26:36 Investing in Wellness Brands with Integrity and Intuition35:41 Wellness Hacks and Daily RoutinesConnect with Lindsay Nahmiache:Visit Veriphy Skincare's WebsiteFollow Veriphy Skincare on InstagramShop this episode:You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learn more about our podcast topics.

College admissions get stressful fast, and for many parents, it starts with the feeling that the rules keep changing and no one explains them clearly.Amy names that tension early in the episode, and Alexis White helps slow it down. Drawing from her work as a college expert and her experience as a parent, Alexis talks through the college process in a practical way. The focus stays on parenting through this stage with intention, prioritizing mental health, realistic expectations, and meaningful support for parents who want to guide their kids without letting stress take over family life.Rather than chasing prestige or checking every box, the conversation asks parents to pause and reassess. What actually fits your child right now? How do grades, activities, and testing reflect who they are, not who they are supposed to be? Alexis offers clear guidance on timing, essays, and decision points, with the reminder that consistency and perspective matter more than perfection.This episode centers on support for parents navigating a major transition. College admissions are treated as a developmental step, not a verdict. With more clarity and fewer assumptions, the college process starts to feel less intimidating and more workable.Episode Breakdown:00:00 College Admissions Stress and Mental Health for Parents01:27 Meet Alexis White, College Admissions Expert and Founder of A-List Tutoring07:15 How Parents Can Stay Sane During the College Admissions Process12:55 What Colleges Really Look For, Grades, Passion, and Context21:46 High School Roadmap for College Admissions, 9th Through 11th Grade29:01 College Essays Explained, Personal Statements, Supplemental Essays, and Parent Roles36:43 SAT and ACT Explained, Test Optional Policies and Score Strategy46:00 When to Hire a College Admissions Expert and Why 10th Grade Matters49:36 Should Teens Go to College, Life Skills, Independence, and Maturity55:51 Underrated Colleges to Consider, Marquette, Bowling Green, and Elon1:01:14 Scholarships and Athletic Aid, How Parents Can Find College MoneyConnect with Alexis White:Follow Alexis on TiktokFollow Alexis on InstagramVisit the Alexis College Expert website⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉🏻 Join the Wellness Junkies community: • Follow us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@wellnessjunkiesofficial ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram • Subscribe to our newsletter • Shop this episode + our faves on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMyShop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • NEW!

Your body doesn’t need a complicated reset. It needs more movement today and fewer hours spent frozen in the same position.Amy sits down with Dr. Dan Ginader, a physical therapist and author of The Pain-Free Body, to talk about why so many pain issues stem from long stretches of stillness rather than a lack of effort. Drawing from his work in sports therapy and his one-on-one clinical practice, Dr. Dan explains how consistent movement often matters more than perfect exercise plans. Whether the goal is pain management, injury prevention, or long-term wellness, the most effective approach is choosing exercise you actually enjoy and will repeat.The conversation brings clarity to common issues many people quietly live with. Dr. Dan explains restless leg syndrome and why symptoms tend to surface at night, unpacks how neck pain often starts in the shoulders or from poor desk setup, and reframes arthritis as a normal part of aging rather than a life-limiting diagnosis. From sports therapy and youth injury prevention to simple health tips you can use at home, the focus stays on moving more, supporting your joints with strength, and building habits that fit real life.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Dr. Dan Ginader, Physical Therapist And Broadway Sports Therapy Specialist07:30 Daily Movement For Wellness, Pain Management, And Injury Prevention09:30 The Best Exercise For Long-Term Health And Consistency12:30 At-Home Exercises For Back Pain And Mobility15:30 Restless Leg Syndrome: Causes And Relief20:30 Neck Pain, Shoulder Strength, And Desk Setup Fixes30:30 Arthritis, Joint Pain, And Strength-Based Movement39:00 Sports Therapy And Injury Prevention For Youth And AdultsConnect with Dr. Dan Ginader:Follow Dr. Dan on TikTok @dr.dan_dptFollow Dr. Dan on Instagram @dr.dan_dpt⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉🏻 Join the Wellness Junkies community:• Follow us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@wellnessjunkiesofficial ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram• Subscribe to our newsletter• Shop this episode + our faves on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMyShop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• NEW!

Aging well starts when you stop chasing quick fixes and start building strength, energy, and confidence through habits that actually hold up over time.Amy sits down with Juliana Spaven, a 50+ model, content creator, and founder of Silver Highlights 1971, a platform devoted to helping women age naturally and age well through movement, nutrition, face yoga, and clean beauty. Juliana shares how midlife fatigue, poor sleep, and mounting frustration became a turning point that pushed her to question what aging could look like with more intention. What happens when you stop accepting discomfort as normal and start treating it as useful feedback?The conversation focuses on consistency over shortcuts. Strength training, mobility, and stability form the foundation, especially as hormones change. Juliana explains why she stepped away from Botox and turned to facial exercises, face yoga, and tools like Frownies to support lift and tone over time, along with protein-forward nutrition and ingredient awareness that support overall health. This episode offers a steady reframing of aging as something you actively participate in rather than brace against.

In this episode of Wellness Junkies, Amy sits down with returning guest Rachel Johnson, founder of ah.mi, a wellness brand and community supporting busy women through curated, relatable content and quarterly group challenges. It’s a candid catch-up on all things everyday wellness — from what really went down at the latest wellness summits to building a Substack community, morning routines, and showing up for yourself. This one’s packed with real-life inspo (plus a few beauty hacks and workout confessions along the way). We talk about the recent growth of ah.mi and the evolution of its wellness community. Rachel shares how the brand stays grounded in its core mantra: “Greens, water, move, repeat.” The focus? Simple, actionable wellness that feels realistic, not overwhelming. Rachel also opens up about her recent live TV appearance on South Florida Live, and how she overcame her fear of being on camera — a moment that perfectly reflects her belief in doing hard things and showing up anyway. We then swap stories about our recent wellness summit experiences: Rachel attended In Goop Health, while Amy attended the Dear Media Wellness Edit. We compare notes on the panels, brand activations, and the overall vibe of each event — with a shared takeaway on the power of in-person connection and community. Lastly, we trade favorite wellness hacks — from the magic of being early to lower stress, to making movement a non-negotiable, to creative ways to get more protein in. It's real talk about the rituals that work, and how to get back on track when they don’t. Join us for this inspiring and down-to-earth episode on the realities of wellness, the joy of community, and how to keep showing up — even when it’s hard.

In this episode of Wellness Junkies, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Carl Daikeler — visionary entrepreneur, and CEO and co-founder of The Beachbody Company, a longtime leader and innovator in the fitness and nutrition space. With over four decades of experience, Carl shares the origin story of Beachbody and how it has evolved into the cutting-edge platform known as BODi.

Carl emphasizes the power of community and the crucial role mindset plays in wellness, introducing us to the Body Power Mindset Project, designed to help people overcome self-criticism and embrace a “health esteem” mindset. We also explore timely topics like the rise of GLP-1 medications and their impact on the industry, along with the importance of pairing them with sustainable lifestyle habits. Carl shares why resistance training is essential—particularly for women—and why it’s time to redefine what “lifting heavy” means on an individual level. Throughout the episode, Carl opens up about his personal wellness routines, including his morning rituals and the benefits he’s found in cold plunges. He underscores the importance of "owning your morning" and making fitness a non-negotiable priority for overall well-being.
