The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance

If you've been stuck doing 10,000 steps a day and not seeing results, interval walking, sometimes called Japanese walking, might be the shift your body actually needs. Instead of just doing more steps, this method focuses on changing your pace and intensity, which is what really drives fat loss, strength, and results, especially in midlife. In this episode, Chalene Johnson  breaks down why the 10,000 step rule was never based on real health science and how chasing that number can leave you feeling frustrated and stuck. She explains what's really happening inside your body when you hit a plateau and why doing more of the same isn't the answer. You'll learn exactly how interval walking works, how to structure it, and why this simple change can help you burn more fat, improve your metabolism, and get better results in less time. If your body feels like it's stopped responding, this is the smarter, more effective way to get things moving again.

Let me know if this is a topic you want me to cover on my YouTube. There's a reason some people seem to be everywhere… every podcast, every YouTube channel, every feed. And it's not what you think. This episode pulls back the curtain on how fake authority is being manufactured right now… and why even smart, credible people are falling for it. I'm sharing: The exact red flags that instantly tell me someone's numbers are fake How people are buying followers, engagement, and even podcast rankings Why "blue checks" and big-name collaborations don't mean what they used to The rise of AI-generated experts… and why this is getting dangerous fast What to look for so you don't get misled, manipulated, or sold something based on total BS This isn't about one person. It's a pattern. And once you see it, you won't be able to unsee it.   🔥Subscribe to Chalene's YouTube 👉https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos   💥Hang out with Chalene on her Private Podcast Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more    Join the PodSquad on Facebook! 👉https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChalenePodSquad   🎯Related Links: Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "Drama Updates, Age Gaps, Dating Shows, Mormon Wives | I Watched So You Don't Have To" https://www.patreon.com/posts/drama-updates-i-154130065 Picture this: reality TV drama that somehow keeps getting messier, age gaps that make everyone uncomfortable, and shows so chaotic you can't look away. It's opinionated, a little unhinged, and exactly the kind of guilty-pleasure breakdown you didn't know you needed. This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff that usually stays on Patreon. Some weeks it's hilarious, some weeks it's jaw-dropping, but it's always real life that doesn't quite fit on the regular show. If you're into a little chaos and behind-the-scenes tea, you're in the right place. If you love it, amazing…you can listen to the full, unedited version here http://Chalene.com/more

If you've ever thought, what are women actually saying about dating right now, especially in midlife… yeah, this is that conversation. It's a real, unfiltered talk between Chalene Johnson and her friend Aprille Franks, and nothing is off-limits. No scripts, no pretending, just an honest girlfriend conversation about dating apps, divorce, red flags, and why finding a partner later in life feels like a completely different game. This episode goes straight into the messy middle nobody warns you about. The awkwardness of putting yourself back out there, the frustration with modern dating, and the very real reasons long-term relationships sometimes fall apart after years or even decades. It's honest, a little spicy, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel seen. There are definitely moments that might make you rethink what you've been told about love, self-worth, and what you should actually be looking for. And if dating lately has felt confusing, exhausting, or just not worth it… this is going to hit a nerve in the best way.   💥 Hang out with Chalene on her Private Podcast Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more    🎉 Related Links: Follow Aprille on Instagram 👉https://www.instagram.com/epicaprille?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Join Aprille For Marketing School Live!  👉 https://marketandsell.respond.ontraport.net/msl Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

What really happened behind the scenes at Camp Be More… and why everything feels different now. This episode pulls back the curtain on the real story of hosting a live event for 700+ women, including unexpected drama, last-minute chaos, emotional breakthroughs, and the powerful shift that no one could have predicted. From speaker issues and venue conflict to exhaustion, decision fatigue, and even a bizarre foot massage situation, this is the unfiltered reality of what it takes to pull off a transformational event. But more importantly, it reveals why this year felt so different, not just for Chalene, but for every woman in the room. If you've ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes of a large live event, how to handle pressure in real time, or why midlife women are craving deeper connection more than ever, this episode is for you.   💥 Get More Camp BTS 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?

If it feels like your body just stopped responding to everything that used to work, you are not crazy. Fat loss after 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, follows a completely different playbook. In this episode, Chalene breaks down why eating less and doing more cardio can actually backfire and what is really going on inside your body. She walks through the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose body fat in midlife and the small shifts that can finally start moving things in the right direction. This is not about more discipline, it is about understanding your hormones, your metabolism, and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it.

Content Note: This episode contains emotional discussion about death, hospice care, and Alzheimer's, which may be difficult for some listeners. In this deeply personal episode, Bret steps in to host. He candidly shares the story of his father Bob's final days. Bob was a beloved high school football coach known simply as "Coach." Bret describes the emotional experience of rushing to California, sitting with his dad during hospice care, and the meaningful moments that unfolded in the hours leading up to his passing. Through stories about family, love, Alzheimer's, and what truly matters at the end of life, this episode becomes a raw and heartfelt reflection on grief, legacy, and the unexpected peace that can come with saying goodbye. It is a reminder that a life well lived leaves an impact far beyond the final moment.   💥Hang out with Chalene on her Private Podcast Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more   🎉Related Links: Sleep Breakthrough: visit https://chalene.com/sleep to get your special discoun use code CHALENE at checkout Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Peptides for midlife health are suddenly everywhere, but do they actually work or are they just the newest longevity trend? In this episode, Chalene Johnson sits down with longevity expert Dr. Elizabeth Yurth to break down the growing buzz around peptides and what women over 40 should know before jumping in. You've probably heard about GLP-1 medications, BPC-157, collagen peptides, and growth hormone peptides, all promising benefits for weight loss, inflammation, muscle recovery, and anti-aging. But with so many supplements, injections, and online sources popping up, it's getting harder to tell what's legitimate and what's just hype. Together, Chalene and Dr. Yurth unpack what peptides actually are, why they're suddenly everywhere in the longevity world, and why many experts believe peptide levels change as we age. They also discuss one of the biggest risks most people don't realize until it's too late: where peptides are coming from and why the source matters far more than most people think. If you've been curious about peptides, GLP-1 medications, or longevity therapies for women over 40, this conversation will help you start asking the right questions before deciding whether they belong in your midlife health routine.

Tiffany shares the five financial rules every woman should know, how to stop feeling overwhelmed about money, and simple strategies that can completely change your financial future starting today. If you've ever wondered whether you're behind financially, worried about retirement, or avoided looking at your bank account because it felt too stressful, this conversation will change the way you think about money.   🎉 Camp Be More 2026!!

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.

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.

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!

Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "No I Don't Want to Talk to Your Team" https://www.patreon.com/posts/no-i-dont-want-150720002 Picture this: a simple invitation, a promising connection, and one sentence that changes the entire tone of the conversation. What should have been an easy yes turns into layers of back-and-forth, unexpected demands, and a moment that forces a serious reality check. It's unfiltered, slightly shocking, and the kind of behind-the-scenes story that makes you see "I'll send this to my team" in a whole new light. This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff that usually stays on Patreon. Some weeks it's hilarious, some weeks it's jaw-dropping, but it's always real life that doesn't quite fit on the regular show.

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.

Listen to the full 1 hour Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "This Is Why I Don't Read The Comments" https://www.patreon.com/posts/this-is-why-i-150149213 Picture this: a dinner with a well-connected industry insider, quiet confessions about midlife celebrities, and a conversation that suddenly pivots to Reddit trolls and AI tracking anonymous haters.

It's surprising, a little unsettling, and a reminder that sometimes the smartest move is to stop reading the comments altogether.

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?
