Andrea chats with Frances Largeman-Roth, a respected Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, to tackle the often-misunderstood landscape of midlife health, nutrition, and metabolism. Frances delivers a balanced and humorous approach to dietary choices, moving far beyond rigid "diet culture" and the noise of social media influencers. The conversation dives deep into the midlife metabolism, offering practical, evidence-based strategies centered on fiber and protein intake, mindful meal frequency and timing, and the crucial role of exercise. Frances critiques the Ozempic craze, offering natural alternatives, and underscores the impact of stress on weight management. Listeners will get the inside scoop on her "Everyday Snack Tray" recipe book—a tool for promoting mindful, nutritious snacking for all ages. We also explore the critical needs for nutrients like calcium and vitamin D in women's midlife, and how to choose quality supplements. Beyond nutrition, Frances shares deeply personal anecdotes, including her journey with fertility and breastfeeding after 50 using donor eggs, addressing the double standards and need for women to own their choices in aging and motherhood. She advocates for balance in every area of life, debunks pervasive health myths (like liver detoxes and cheat days), and encourages women to embrace new ventures in midlife with confidence and self-kindness.
