Join Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® to become a coach! Flipping 50 Women's Retreats are each designed to challenge and stretch you. We challenge your fitness, your thoughts about aging, and menopause. We educate about hormones through exercise, nutrition and sleep choices.  We always try to find motivation to move. Truth is if we don’t fix this issue, we’re not going to fix sarcopenia, obesity, and osteoporosis or Alzheimer's.  This conversation dives into the science of motivation, the difference between exercise vs. daily movement, and why healthy longevity (healthspan) matters more than simply living longer. You’ll also hear how to build sustainable habits, avoid burnout, and find movement you actually enjoy—because consistency is the real goal. Movement—not just exercise—is the most powerful “medicine” for longevity. Despite decades of evidence, most people still struggle to stay active—not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack motivation to move. My Guest: Jordan D. Metzl, MD is an internationally recognized sports medicine physician, researcher, bestselling author, and fitness instructor who practices at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, the world’s premier orthopedic hospital.  Dr. Metzl is a 40-time marathoner and 15-time Ironman finisher. He created the Ironstrength Workout, a functional fitness program for improved performance and injury prevention that has been performed by more than 1 million people. An elite athlete himself, he practices what he preaches.  Questions We Answer in This Episode: You’ve recently written a new book. You’re published in AARP, so let’s start with your interest in getting the world to move Why did you write PUSH and how does it reflect the different parts of your career? Why did you choose the title PUSH and why is this concept connected to healthy longevity? Why aren’t people comfortable pushing themselves? Can we extend our lifespan? What does science tell us about longevity? Is the financial investment in “longevity” worth the spend? Who is the intended audience for PUSH?

Where to start? What they don’t know about menopause might kill them? Or us?  In this episode I am joined by the author of the recently published book by a male, for males, but also valuable to women about navigating menopause with partners.  Instead of focusing only on biology, this conversation dives into what really matters: 👉 Communication 👉 Emotional support 👉 Relationship dynamics 👉 Practical ways men can show up better The episode highlights that menopause isn’t just a women’s health issue—it’s a relationship transition. When they know what they used to not know about menopause, it can actually strengthen connection and improve intimacy long-term. My Guest: Joe Warner is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author. His new book, Burning Up, Frozen Out - What Every Man Needs to Know About the Menopause (But No One Told You), explains how men can better understand and support their partners through menopause, while also taking better care of their own health. Questions We Answer in This Episode: Why do so many men still struggle to understand perimenopause and menopause - and what impact does that have on relationships? How can menopause affect connection, communication and day-to-day life as a couple in ways people might not expect? What do men consistently get wrong - and how can you guide them to support you in a way that actually helps? What are some simple, realistic ways partners can better support each other through this transition? How can couples stay connected and on the same team when everything feels like it’s shifting? Why can intimacy and libido become such a challenge during this stage - and how is it often misunderstood?

We answer questions like human behaviour, creating change, defining success on your own terms and so much more.  If you’re suffering from decision-making fatigue, information filtering, or feeling a little isolated, frustrated or confused this is your episode. We’re turning midlife muscle strength into personal power! My Guest: Cori Lefkowith is the founder of Redefining Strength and the author of The STRONG System, a practical framework designed to help women build sustainable strength, nutrition, and lifestyle habits that support real life. With over a decade of coaching experience, Cori helps women, especially in midlife, break free from burnout, diet culture, and all-or-nothing health thinking by shifting the focus from intensity and willpower to consistency and systems. Her programs and educational content have been featured in outlets including Women’s Health, SELF, Nike, Prevention, MSN, Well+Good, MindBodyGreen, LIVESTRONG, and The Guardian. Questions We Answer in This Episode: Why are women still afraid of getting bulky from lifting weights? Can strength training be about more than just weight loss? Why are we stuck in a survival mindset instead of thriving? How do women handle pressure to be everything to everyone? How do you know what fitness advice is actually right for you? Why is asking ‘why’ so important in changing habits? Why is muscle so critical for independence and longevity in midlife?

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of dieting, losing, and regaining weight—this episode flips everything you thought you knew about boosting metabolism after age 50.

Gut health and migraines may be more connected than you’ve ever been told — and if you’ve been waiting for your migraines to “just go away” after menopause, this episode might change everything.  Migraines are now being viewed as a symptom of deeper dysfunction in the brain, gut, mitochondria, and vascular system — not just a hormonal inconvenience.  If you’re tired of powering through, relying on quick fixes, or wondering why nothing seems to work long-term, this episode gives you a smarter path forward. We might have been overlooking the missing link between gut health and migraines. My Guest: Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett is a Stanford-trained neurologist and founder of Migraine Relief Code, where she pioneers a precision medicine approach to chronic headaches and migraine. She created the first genetic testing panel designed specifically for people with migraine, helping patients identify their unique Genetic Headache Type and follow customized recovery protocols that combine medical care, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies. A TEDx speaker and author of the upcoming book ALIGN: Live the Way You’re Wired to Relieve Headaches + Migraine for Good, her work has been featured in Business Insider and Women’s World.  After launching her private neurology practice in Denver in 2003, she founded Migraine Relief Code in 2019 to bring personalized, science-driven solutions to people worldwide. Dr. Barrett is passionate about addressing migraine as a women’s health crisis, empowering women to relieve pain, protect their earning power, and reclaim their lives.
