Midlife Mommas: A Girlfriends Approach to Life After Menopause

High fructose corn syrup is a $3.6 billion industry in the US. But what is it?
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener made from corn syrup that is quickly converted to glucose. It is a cheaper alternative to sucrose, which is simple table sugar.
What is HCFS in? The short answer is just about everything.
The food industry has high-jacked your taste buds, and there are billions of dollars to be had by doing so. This industry has scientists determining how to get you to buy more processed foods based on their hyper-palatability.
The sad truth? It's killing us. 88% of Americans are insulin resistant.
What does that mean? Insulin is the hormone that 'shuttles' glucose into cells. It acts as a key. As our culture consumes more and more glucose (>38 pounds/year), our bodies are having a hard time keeping up. We are becoming immune to the effects of insulin.
The result? Insulin resistance, glucose toxicity, and ultimately Type II Diabetes.
This is a GROWING health crisis. Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia (too much fat in the blood) are the trifecta that causes 'Metabolic Syndrome,' and it's taking more and more money and pills to correct.
Big Pharma is making millions while Americans die.
Join Cam and Amelia on the roller coaster ride of insulin resistance. Find out how to identify habits that are contributing to the problem and how to create habits to stop it. (This IS reversible!)

Midlife: Being the Moms of Grown-Ups

Motherhood has many stages, but once you are a Mom, your life is forever changed. We worried about developmental milestones when our children were young; we fretted over schoolboy and girl relationships. We helped with school projects and looked forward to taking pictures at prom.
But what happens when our kids grow up? What are the highs and the lows of being a mother of adults? How do we deal with these people our children have grown into being?
Join Cam and Amelia for a frank talk about being the mothers of grown children. This is a new phase that we both love, and we'd love to share our insights, fears, pitfalls, and joys with you.
We hope you'll join us!

Midlife Self-Care Using Alternative Therapies

Who doesn't want to DETOX, relax and feel Whole?
Join Cam and Amelia as we explore 'alternative' therapies. These therapies are gaining traction and becoming more mainstream, so we provide you with a fast-track guide to these therapies, including using a sauna, dry needling or acupuncture, dry brushing, cryotherapy, and more!
Do you have a nagging injury?
Do you feel like there must be a better way to gain more energy, get better control of your skin health, gut health, and immunity?
Are you interested in Ayurveda and other traditional healing modalities?
Some of these therapies seem scary, but we unpack these for you.
Did you know that a sauna is called the 'poor man's pharmacy' and is present in a preponderance of homes in Finland? Dry brushing can use 'watersheds' to guide lymphatic drainage to rid your body of toxins.
These therapies aid your body in 'taking the trash out'. They help reduce inflammation; some may help reduce anxiety and depression and help your skin glow.
Cam and Amelia are the poster children for holistic health and healing. Please listen in for this fascinating talk!
Lastly, please, please, please, leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts!
