Show Notes

Chalene Johnson breaks down the Instagram AI feature that had the internet in a panic last week, why deepfake scammers are now stealing real videos and subtly altering someone's voice and appearance to make fake endorsements look real, and what to watch for so you don't get fooled. She also shares a new survey showing that a large percentage of perimenopausal and menopausal women have no idea what stage of reproduction they're in, and explains why she's been getting stronger and leaner using a hormone marker called sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG, something most doctors won't test unless you specifically request it. She recommends Midi Health for anyone who wants a full hormone panel done right. Chalene gives a quick update on the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, including the ongoing dispute over $8 million in legal fees, then moves into the difference between Botox, Juvederm, and Sculptra, her own experience with Sculptra after her facelift, and a new lawsuit against Juvederm maker AbbVie. She closes with a passionate defense of Madonna following her World Cup halftime performance, walking through Madonna's decades of reinvention, her physical training history, and why Chalene believes the ageism criticism aimed at her is completely out of line. Topics discussed: Instagram, AI deepfakes, perimenopause, menopause, sex hormone binding globulin, Midi Health, Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, AB 933, Botox, Juvederm, AbbVie, Sculptra, Beauty Broker, Madonna, World Cup Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉chalene.com/more
