What GLP-1s Reveal About Hunger, Metabolism & Midlife

Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique Sachse

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.

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.

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.

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.
