Show Notes
Ever wonder why your body suddenly responds differently in midlife, even when you’re eating and exercising the same way? Ashley Koff, RD, joins us to break down the hormones that influence appetite, metabolism, blood sugar, and satiety (including GLP-1s) and how these systems can shift through perimenopause and menopause. Ashley is a USA Today bestselling author, founder of The Better Nutrition Program, and a leading voice in the emerging weight health movement. With more than 25 years of experience, she’s helping change the conversation from weight loss to a more personalized, science-based approach to weight health.

More from Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique Sachse
In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sat down with financial advisor Terri Ho to talk about how women can feel more confident managing their money and navigating major life transitions. Terri shares five essential financial questions every woman should know the answers to, why it’s important to have open conversations about money in marriage, and what to keep in mind when navigating divorce. From dividing assets to understanding tax implications, she breaks down how to make informed financial decisions and protect your future.
Vaginal health is an important part of women’s health at every age, but it’s something we still don’t talk about nearly enough. In this episode, I’m joined by Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love and Vaginal Biome Science, to talk about what happens to vaginal health during perimenopause and menopause, the role of estrogen and the vaginal microbiome, and how women can feel more comfortable and informed in their bodies. We also dive into vaginal care, intimacy, arousal, and why our sex lives don’t have to change just because we’re getting older. Wendy Strgar is an award-winning entrepreneur and women’s health innovator who pioneered BioMatched® technology and has led groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome.
Have you ever had a moment that made you realize your body isn’t quite what it used to be?
What actually works when it comes to building muscle, losing fat, and staying strong in midlife? Cori Lefkowith, founder of Redefining Strength, joins us to break down how women can approach strength training, protein, cardio, metabolism, recovery, and body recomposition in a way that supports long-term results.
At 74, author and wellness educator Danna Demetre is opening up about one of the most painful chapters of her life: being betrayed by her husband at 67. She shares what happened, how she navigated heartbreak, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust, and why she ultimately chose to fight for her marriage. We also talk about how that experience inspired her debut novel, Beyond Betrayal, as well as faith, female friendship, healthy aging, and finding purpose and hope later in life. Danna is a former R.N., Christian author, speaker, and wellness educator, and the author of several books on health, wellness, and personal transformation, including Eat Live Thrive Diet.
