One Crockpot, two dinners

We cook once and eat twice. Nicole makes a big batch of shredded chicken in the Crockpot using a Siete carnitas packet over organic chicken — seven and a half to eight hours, then shred it and pour the juices back on. Last night it was Chipotle bowls. Tonight the same chicken becomes machaca con huevos. One protein, two dinners, almost no extra work. That's the whole idea behind how we cook during the week.

Why I Can’t Wait for My 70s

For years we were told aging meant slowing down. I don't buy it. My 50s opened doors I never expected. My 60s have been even better. And honestly? I can't wait to see what my 70s have in store. Midlife isn't the beginning of the end. Sometimes it's finally the beginning. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Hotness, featuring Jana Short, now streaming on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #Midlife #HealthyAging #WomenOver50 #Menopause #Hormones #PositiveAging #Women'sHealth #HotnessPodcast #DrLizLyster

You Don’t Need Permission to Age Your Way

Here's what I believe. It's okay to age naturally. It's okay to get a little help. It's okay to do nothing at all. The only opinion that really matters is your own. Women spend far too much time defending their choices. You don't have to. 🎧 Watch the full conversation with Jana Short on Hotness, now streaming on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #HealthyAging #Confidence #WomenOver50 #Menopause #Women'sHealth #SelfConfidence #Hormones #HotnessPodcast #DrLizLyster

Your Pelvic Floor, Core & Breath Work Together

Your pelvic floor doesn't work by itself. It's connected to your core. Your diaphragm. Your breathing. Your abdominal muscles. Think of them as a team. Many women are told to simply "do Kegels," but understanding how to contract and relax these muscles properly is just as important. Sometimes muscles aren't weak—they're tight, overworked, and struggling to function normally. 🎧 Episode 9 of Hotness is now streaming.

Can Trauma Change Your Sex Drive? Here’s What Most Women Never Hear

Shame. Grief. Trauma. They don't always stay emotional. They can show up as painful sex, loss of desire, feeling disconnected from your body, or never quite feeling safe in your own skin. In this conversation with Dr. Willow Brown, we explore how emotional experiences can become physical, and why healing is about so much more than hormones alone. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Hotness now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #Women'sHealth #SexualHealth #TraumaHealing #Libido #Midlife #Menopause #Hormones #HotnessPodcast #DrLizLyster

How an Osteopath Finds Pain Doctors Can’t

How can someone find pain that scans, MRIs, and tests don't explain? In this episode of Hotness, I sit down with European-trained manual osteopath Stephania Humphrey, who explains why years of training her hands allow her to feel restrictions and movement patterns throughout the body that often go unnoticed. If you've ever been told "everything looks normal" but you still don't feel normal, this conversation may change how you think about pain. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Hotness this Friday on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #ManualOsteopathy #ChronicPain #MidlifeHealth #Menopause #HotnessPodcast #DrLizLyster #StephaniaHumphrey #HolisticHealth

Holistic Health Isn’t What Most People Think

People often hear holistic and think it means choosing one alternative therapy. That's not what I believe. Holistic means looking at the whole person – your hormones, movement, relationships, nutrition, stress, sleep, and how all of those pieces work together. Western medicine and holistic medicine aren't competitors. They work best together. That's exactly what we explore in this week's episode of Hotness with manual osteopath Stephania Humphrey. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on Hotness, now streaming on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #HolisticHealth #Women'sHealth #Hormones #Menopause #MidlifeHealth #IntegrativeMedicine #HealthyAging #HotnessPodcast #DrLizLyster

Menopause Isn’t the Beginning of the End

One of my favorite moments from this conversation. So many women are taught to see menopause as something to fear, as if life somehow gets smaller afterward. I couldn't disagree more. Stephania and I talk about why midlife can actually become one of the most confident, fulfilling, and purposeful seasons of a woman's life. This isn't the end of your story. It might be the chapter where you finally become yourself. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Hotness now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #Menopause #MidlifeWomen #HealthyAging #Women'sHealth #HotnessPodcast #Confidence #DrLizLyster #StephaniaHumphrey

Why Letting Go Is So Hard in Menopause

Menopause isn't just a hormonal transition. It's also an emotional one. Stephania shares a perspective I think every woman deserves to hear: so much of midlife is about learning to let go, not because we're losing ourselves, but because we're making space for who we're becoming. When we stop measuring our worth by youth, fertility, or society's expectations, something remarkable can happen. We begin to redefine what this season of life can be. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on Hotness, now streaming on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. #Menopause #Midlife #Women'sHealth #HealthyAging #HotnessPodcast #DrLizLyster #StephaniaHumphrey #PersonalGrowth

Sex Changes In Midlife—And That’s Okay

One of the biggest myths about midlife? That changes in intimacy mean something is wrong. Hormonal shifts can affect vaginal tissue, bladder health, pelvic floor function, comfort, pleasure, and desire. That doesn't mean intimacy is over. It means your body may need something different. More communication. More time. More curiosity. Your body is changing—not failing. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on Hotness.
