| Ep. 124: Go For It. The Price of Playing It Safe Is a Half-Lived Life | 27 Oct 2026 | 00:23:29 | |
Going after what you want is vulnerable. Whether it's starting a business, writing a book, changing careers, finding love, or finally admitting what you're longing for, putting yourself out there means risking rejection. But there's a bigger risk: letting fear make your decisions until one day you realize you never really went for it. In this solo episode, I'm sharing one of the wildest stories from my own life: how I met my husband at 15, spent years believing we were meant to be together, walked away when he wasn't treating me the way I deserved, and watched everything change when I finally chose my own self-respect over chasing him. I'm also talking about why I'm publicly chasing a dream right now through the Top Host contest, and why I've decided I'd rather be seen trying than spend the rest of my life wondering, "What if?" If you've been waiting for the perfect moment, this is your reminder that momentum starts with one brave step. We talk about:
My challenge for you: You don't have to know exactly how it'll work out. You just have to be brave enough to begin. Resources:

| Ep 123: Follow Your Longings. Stay Generative. Live Boldly. Advice From an 80-Year-Old Who Knows | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:57:07 | |
How often do you put what you want on the back burner because someone else needs something from you? Women are taught to be accommodating, pleasing, helpful, and easy to get along with. But what happens when you stop planning your life around everyone else and start paying attention to your own longings and enthusiasm? | |||
| Ep. 122: The Physical Side of Grief: Immunity, the Lungs & Letting Go With Dreena Burton | 13 Oct 2026 | 00:24:13 | |
Grief isn’t just an emotion. It can affect the body, too. In this monthly check-in, Dreena Burton explains the connection between grief, the lungs, the immune system, and the body’s ability to defend itself. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall is the season of letting go, and Dreena explains why holding on to grief may show up physically, including through the lungs and even the skin. We talk about what the fall season can teach us about releasing what no longer serves us, why the lungs and large intestine are the organs associated with this time of year, and how to support them with warming foods, ginger, garlic, soups, breathwork, and simple body-care practices. Dreena also explains the surprising connection between the lung meridian, fascia flow, and grip strength, which has important implications for healthy aging. And if you're grieving, Dreena has an important message: letting go doesn't mean forgetting or “getting over” someone. It means giving yourself permission to actually feel the grief, process it, and allow it to move through you. Sometimes making space for what comes next begins with releasing what you're carrying.

| Ep. 121: How to Start Eating Plant-Based for Better Health (Without Making It Complicated) Andrea Corbi Fein | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:52:21 | |
Want to eat more plant-based for your health but have no idea where to start? You don't need to become vegan overnight, learn a hundred new recipes, or give up the foods you love. Andrea Corbi Fein says the easiest way to begin is to eat more plants, make simple swaps, and start with one plant-based meal a day. Andrea is a certified professional plant-based cook and founder of Ingreened, where she works with people to make eating more plant-forward practical and approachable. Her own journey began after a brain tumor and AVM diagnosis at 34 and a growing realization that she needed to take her health seriously. A few years later, she watched a Dr. Michael Greger presentation, decided to try eating plant-based for two weeks, and never stopped. Now Andrea helps others do the same without making food miserable. We talk about easy swaps for meat and dairy, how to make tofu actually taste good, why beans deserve a much bigger role in your diet, and how to build simple meals around foods you already enjoy. She also explains why eating plant-based doesn't have to mean giving up your favorite foods or relying on a refrigerator full of specialty products. If you've been thinking about eating more plants for your health but keep getting stuck on “Okay, but what am I actually supposed to eat?" start with this podcast episode and see how easy it can be.

| Ep. 120: New Science! Look and Smell Better in Just Six Weeks By Eating This | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:17:14 | |
What if eating more fruits and vegetables could help you look healthier in just four to six weeks? A new peer-reviewed review says it might. In this mini episode, I break down fascinating research showing that eating more colorful fruits and vegetables may improve your skin's appearance, give you a healthy glow, and even affect how you smell. You'll hear:
I've spent years talking about how plants can help prevent heart disease and diabetes. But if I'm being honest, this might be the most motivating nutrition research I've seen in a long time. Because sometimes "eat your vegetables so you can live longer" isn't nearly as compelling as "eat your vegetables because you'll probably look better." Sometimes the quickest motivation is seeing the benefits reflected right back in the mirror. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who thinks healthy eating is only about preventing disease. Resources Mentioned:

| Ep. 119: Sex Is a Life Force: Why We Need Sexual Vitality as We Age with Dr. Christina Tracy Stein | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:54:50 | |
Sexual vitality is about more than sex. It’s about feeling alive, connected, present in your body, and engaged with the person you are, not the person you were 20 or 30 years ago. And if your sex life has changed as you've gotten older, you'll want to hear this conversation before you decide there's something wrong with you. Maybe you want sex more often than your partner. Maybe they want it more than you do. Maybe you rarely feel spontaneous desire anymore and assume your libido has disappeared. Or maybe hormones, medications, stress, health, or changes in your body have made sex feel different than it used to. Dr. Christina Tracy Stein, author of The Accomplished Woman and a clinical sexologist, explains what's actually going on and offers some surprisingly practical ways to think about desire and intimacy differently. We talk about spontaneous versus responsive desire, why you don't necessarily have to feel horny first to want sex, and why scheduling sex can sometimes reduce rejection and create anticipation instead of killing the romance. We also get into the bigger picture. Christina talks about sex as life-force energy and why sexual vitality can be an important part of aging well. We talk about novelty, mindfulness, body image, friendship, emotional intimacy, and how couples can stay connected when their bodies, desires, and relationships inevitably change. Your sex life doesn't have to look like it did at 30 to be satisfying at 58, 68, or 78. And you don't have to be “in the mood” in the way you may have assumed you did. If you've ever wondered whether your changing desire is normal, why you and your partner seem to be on completely different sexual schedules, or how to keep intimacy alive in a long-term relationship, this episode is for you.

| Ep. 118: Who the Hell is Lauren Bernick? Re-meet the Host, Hear Wild GenX Childhood Stories | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:23:44 | |
Who the Hell Is Lauren Bernick? Meet the Host There are millions of people out there vying for your attention, telling you what’s wrong with you so they can sell you something to fix it. I don’t want to be one of them. I want Age Like a Badass Mother to be a place where women can get smart, honest information about health and aging without being made to feel broken, inadequate, or like they need to chase youth. But if you’re new here, or you’ve been listening for a while and realized you don’t actually know much about the woman behind the microphone, it’s time to answer the question: Who the hell is Lauren Bernick? I’m 58, married to Andy Bernick, with whom I fell in love at first sight, mom of three grown kids, former pharmaceutical advertising executive, and someone who was diagnosed with serious coronary artery disease at 46. That diagnosis sent me down a rabbit hole that completely changed the way I eat, think about health, and think about aging. I changed my diet, lost 20 pounds and kept it off for 11 years, and testing showed that I had actually reversed my heart disease. That experience is a big reason I started this podcast, and why I became obsessed with questioning what we're told about health. But that's only part of my story. In this personal “meet the host” episode, I talk about what I’ve learned from interviewing doctors and other experts, why I’ve changed my mind about some of the rules I once followed, my 36-year marriage, my three kids, my very Gen X childhood, the complicated relationship I had with my mother, and why watching her age became a cautionary tale for how I want to live my own life. I also talk about something I’m still figuring out: how to pursue better health without turning your life into one giant list of rules. Because yes, I want you to live longer and feel better. But I also want you to enjoy your life. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to follow every health rule. And you don't need another person telling you everything you're doing wrong. You need good information, a little perspective, and the freedom to figure out what makes you feel strong, healthy, and alive. So, welcome to Age Like a Badass Mother. Whether you've been here from the beginning or you're brand new, I'm really glad you're here.

| Ep. 117: Margaret Cho on Menopause, Growing Up in a Gay Bookstore, and the Love Boat | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:40:52 | |
Margaret Cho has been making people laugh, making people uncomfortable, and saying things that other people probably wish she wouldn’t for a very long time. In this conversation, we get into menopause, aging, sex, body image, queerness, Hollywood, and the weirdness of watching your parents get older. Margaret talks candidly about her own experience with menopause, including hot flashes, insomnia, low libido, and vaginal dryness, and what happened when she started hormone therapy. She also talks about why she thinks menopause gets framed as something women should dread when it can actually bring a surprising amount of clarity. We visit her childhood in San Francisco, where Margaret spent much of her time in her parents’ gay bookstore. She grew up around gay men, lesbians, nightlife and conversations about Harvey Milk, and she witnessed the devastating impact of AIDS on the community around her. Lauren and Margaret compare notes on what it was like to grow up around queer adults and hear things kids probably weren't supposed to hear. Margaret is also remarkably candid about what Hollywood did to her relationship with her body. She revisits All-American Girl, including being told she was too fat to play herself, and how the pressure to lose weight spiraled into severe anorexia and hospitalization. We also talk about aging parents, the pressure women face to stay thin and young and partnered, and the strange freedom that can come with getting older and caring a little less about meeting everyone else's expectations. And because no Margaret Cho conversation would be complete without some wonderfully random cultural detours, she tells us what she's been reading and watching lately, including celebrity autobiographies and Wife Swap. It's funny, candid, occasionally dark, and very Margaret Cho.

| Ep. 116: Why Are You So Bloated? The Chinese Medicine Solution with Dreena Burton | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:28:26 | |
Why are you suddenly so bloated, gassy, or uncomfortable after eating? In this episode, Lauren Bernick and Dreena Burton explore bloating, gas, digestion, fascia, jaw tension, stress, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, including the Chinese medicine concept of “dampness” and its connection to the Spleen and Stomach. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, late summer is associated with the Earth element, the Spleen and Stomach, and the emotion of worry. Dreena explains the concept of “dampness” and how, within this framework, it can be associated with digestive complaints such as bloating, gas, IBS, fatigue, and a heavy, sluggish feeling. We also explore the surprising connection between jaw tension and the quads. If you've been seeing all those jaw-release videos on social media, Dreena explains why working on the fascia in your legs may sometimes help release tension in your jaw. Lauren and Dreena talk about their views on self-care. Are we nourishing ourselves, or have we simply created another giant list of things we're supposed to do? And lastly, Lauren shares a pretty hilarious self-care confession involving a video game for your vagina. 😂 Flows for today's podcast Dreena's Main pages: fasciaflo.com/app and https://dreenaburton.com/ Jujube Tea post: https://bit.ly/jujubetea https://www.instagram.com/dreenaburton/ This episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient Grains Grand Teton Ancient Grains (ancientgrains.com) Use code Healthy10 for 10% off Websites, Cookbook, and Merch https://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/ https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/ Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/ Follow us and reach out at: Email: lauren@agelikeabadassmother.com Facebook: @WellElephant Instagram: @agelikeabadassmother https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother | |||
| Ep. 115: Health Misinformation: The Hidden Agendas Behind What We’ve Been Told About Food & Disease with Nelson Campbell | 25 Aug 2026 | 01:01:01 | |
How much of what we’ve been told about food, nutrition, and disease is actually true? Nelson Campbell joins Lauren Bernick to unpack the health misinformation that has shaped how we eat, think about disease, and understand what it means to be healthy, as well as the powerful interests that may have influenced what we've been told. In this fascinating conversation, Lauren Bernick talks with Nelson Campbell, co-author of The Whole Truth with his father, legendary nutrition researcher Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study. Nelson takes us behind the scenes of his father’s decades of research into nutrition, cancer, and chronic disease, and the forces he says have helped keep that information from reaching the public. But this conversation isn't just about what’s wrong with our healthcare system. It’s about what we can do differently. Nelson explains the difference between reductionism and biological wholism, and why trying to treat the body like a machine made up of isolated parts may be fundamentally flawed. We talk about his father’s research showing the relationship between animal protein and the cancer process, the enormous follow-up study that never received funding, and why Nelson believes our current healthcare paradigm is overdue for a major shift. We also dig into Nelson’s decades of work helping people experience the effects of a whole food, plant-based diet for themselves. His Plant Pure Nation programs produced dramatic changes in participants’ cholesterol and other biomarkers, and his documentary From Food to Freedom follows people with type 2 diabetes as they changed their diets. And then the conversation takes a surprising turn. Nelson challenges some of the rigidity and confusion that have surrounded the whole-food, plant-based movement, including the tendency to obsess over individual food components rather than viewing the diet as a whole. He makes a compelling case that whole foods like nuts, seeds, avocado, and coconut shouldn't automatically be treated like dietary villains, and that making healthy food delicious matters if we want this message to reach the mainstream.

| Ep. 114: Holy Sh*t, I’m 58! I Had a Freakout, Then I Realized Something | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:06:34 | |
Holy sh*t. Lauren is 58. And for a minute, she has some feelings about that. Sixty suddenly feels close. And Lauren realizes that some of what she's feeling isn't actually about how she feels at all; it's about how she thinks society expects a 58-year-old woman to feel. The truth is, this is Lauren's happiest, most productive time. Tune in to hear this mini-episode where she takes you on the brief roller coaster ride of her birthday. The main thing is that she feels like a badass, and she wants to normalize women talking about what makes them badasses. So what makes you a badass?

| Ep. 113: Dr. Ellen Langer - The Mindful Body: Thinking Your Way to Chronic Health | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:52:19 | |
Dr. Ellen Langer is a Harvard professor who literally wrote the book on Mindfulness in 1989. She has been referred to as the “Mother of Mindfulness.” Through her famous counterclockwise study, where she put men in their 70’s and 80’s in an environment that was 20 years in the past, she illustrates how our mindset can influence our physical health. Spoiler, they all became “younger” and measurably healthier. We talk extensively about the mind-body connection and how stress can impact health and longevity. She schools us in the power of language especially when it comes to chronic disease. This is a rare experience to learn from someone who has devoted her life to the transformative power of mindfulness and its impact on health and aging. Her latest book, The Mindful Body is available now.

| Ep: 112: Has Healthy Aging Gone Too Far? Finding Balance in the Age of Biohacking | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:14:05 | |
Between face yoga, red light therapy, lymphatic drainage, dry brushing, supplements, meditation, strength training, and the endless stream of health advice flooding social media, taking care of ourselves has become a full-time job. In this solo episode, Lauren asks a question many of us are wondering: Has healthy aging gone too far? Using biohacker Bryan Johnson's highly publicized quest to reverse aging as a jumping-off point, Lauren explores whether our pursuit of longevity has crossed the line into obsession. She also shares her own struggle to balance staying healthy after reversing heart disease with making room for the things that truly matter: family, friends, travel, laughter, and simply enjoying life. This isn't about abandoning healthy habits. It's about recognizing that you don't have to do every wellness practice, every day, to age well. The healthiest life isn't necessarily the one with the longest checklist; it's the one you actually enjoy living. In This Episode, You'll Learn:
If you've ever felt guilty for skipping your supplements, missing a workout, or not keeping up with the latest longevity trend, this episode is your reminder that good health is meant to support your life, not become your life. Mentioned in This Episode
If this episode made you think, please share it with a friend who could use the reminder to slow down and enjoy life. And if you have ideas for future guests or topics, Lauren would love to hear from you.

| Ep. 111: What Toxins and Psychedelics Taught Me About Being Authentic with Dr. Nikki Siso | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:59:56 | |
What do toxins, psychedelics, and authenticity have in common? More than you might think. Dr. Nikki Siso shares her personal and professional journey toward deeper self-awareness and healing. We explore how environmental toxins, emotional burdens, and even the roles we play in everyday life can disconnect us from who we truly are. She discusses the impact of toxic load on health, and the lessons she's learned from the psychedelic experience with 5-MeO-DMT, a potent, fast-acting psychedelic found in plants and the venom of the Sonoran Desert toad. Inhaling it causes profound ego dissolution and non-duality states within seconds. We talk about why authenticity isn't something we achieve once and for all; it's an ongoing practice of becoming more honest with ourselves. Nikki feels that she wasn't on the path to true authenticity until she had her breast implants removed. Whether you're curious about holistic health, healing through psychedelics, personal growth, or what it really means to live authentically, this conversation offers plenty of insight and food for thought. Dr. Nikki built a Total Toxic Load Assessment, what she calls TOX, to investigate the three things no one looks at together: the toxins in your food, your home, and your own thoughts. It finally connects the dots. She's giving our listeners $50 off. Use discount code BADASS at checkout so you can go from running on fumes to clear and happy in your body again."

| Ep. 110: Can Fascia Work Improve Lymphatic Drainage, Reduce Puffiness, and Support Immunity? | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:22:10 | |
In this mini-episode, Dreena Burton joins Lauren Bernick to explore the surprising connection among fascia, lymphatic health, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dreena explains the role of the San Jiao, also known as the Triple Burner meridian, and how stimulating this energetic pathway may help improve fluid movement throughout the body. You'll learn how fascia, the body's connective tissue network, responds to resistance and movement, why healthy lymphatic flow is essential for immune function, and a simple technique you can try to encourage circulation and reduce swelling. Whether you're interested in Chinese medicine, fascia health, or natural ways to support your body's internal systems, this short episode offers practical insights you can start using today.

| Ep. 109: Think You've Heard Enough About Hormones? Not If You Have Brain Fog, Hot Flashes, or Low Libido | 14 Jul 2026 | 01:11:53 | |
Hormones can feel like a mystery, especially when symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, hot flashes, low libido, UTIs, and even frozen shoulder seem to come out of nowhere. In this episode, I sit down with hormone specialist and pharmacist Dr. Tiffany Ruder to separate fact from fiction and help you understand what may really be happening inside your body. Dr. Ruder explains how hormonal changes can affect nearly every aspect of health, why brain fog isn't something women should simply accept as a normal part of aging, and how personalized hormone therapy may help address common midlife symptoms.

| Ep. 107: How to Eliminate Limiting Beliefs with Shelly Lefkoe | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:51:01 | |
Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, even when you know better? Maybe you struggle to speak up for yourself, set boundaries, stop people-pleasing, or finally go after what you want. You know what to do. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. Yet somehow, nothing really changes. According to belief expert Shelly Lefkoe, the problem isn't a lack of willpower. It's the beliefs you've been carrying since childhood. In this eye-opening conversation, Shelly explains how the meanings we assign to childhood experiences become beliefs about ourselves, and how those beliefs quietly shape our relationships, careers, parenting, confidence, and happiness for decades. We discuss why evidence rarely changes deeply held beliefs, the five limiting beliefs most people carry, and why so many of us spend our lives trying to prove we're good enough, lovable enough, or worthy enough. Shelly also shares powerful insights into parenting, including how well-meaning parents unintentionally create limiting beliefs in their children and how we can do things differently. If you've ever felt stuck, self-critical, or trapped in patterns that don't make sense, this episode may completely change the way you see yourself and what's possible for your future.

| Ep. 94: Chuck Carroll’s Health Crisis After 275-Pound Weight Loss | 31 Mar 2026 | 01:11:14 | |
Chuck Carroll didn't just struggle with his weight; he grew up expecting to die young. By the time he was a freshman in high school, he was already on blood pressure medication, and by his mid-twenties, he genuinely believed he wouldn't make it to 30. At 420 pounds, his body was sending him every warning signal imaginable. So he made a decision that would change everything. Weight-loss surgery was the first step; a plant-based diet was the second, but as Chuck discovered, losing the weight was only the beginning. What followed was a health crisis that sent him to the hospital multiple times, left him searching desperately for answers, and ultimately led him to the Mayo Clinic. In this episode, Chuck opens up about the physical and emotional battles that came after losing 275 pounds. You'll also hear what Chuck would tell his 26-year-old self if he could go back. If you've ever felt like it's too late, like you've already tried everything, or like your body has simply given up on you, this episode is your reminder that it's not over.

A powerful story of weight loss, addiction recovery, and rebuilding health with a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. What does it take to completely rebuild your life: body, mind, and spirit? In this conversation, Tim Kaufman of Fatman Rants shares his extraordinary transformation from addiction, morbid obesity (over 400 LBS.), and barely being able to perform daily tasks to becoming a world-class endurance athlete fueled by a whole-food, plant-based diet. Tim opens up about the darkest periods of his life, including struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, food dependency, and the wake-up calls that forced him to confront the direction he was headed. He shares how the unwavering support of his wife, the grief of losing loved ones, and a growing sense of gratitude became turning points in his recovery. This isn’t just a weight loss story. It’s a story about radical personal responsibility, small daily changes, and healing the emotional and spiritual roots of self-destructive behavior.

| Ep. 89: Rage, Predatory Men, and How Beauty Standards Condition Women to Surrender Their Power | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:15:58 | |
By the time Lauren Bernick was six years old, two different women had already told her she was "fat as a house." They weren't seeing her; they were projecting their own inherited fear and shame, expecting her to swallow it and pass it on. That's how the cycle works. In this mini episode, Lauren traces that conditioning to its roots: beauty standards largely set by men with a vested interest in keeping women chasing an impossible ideal: the body of a teenage girl. The media and beauty industry flood us with images of youth while aging women are rendered invisible. Men get to grow old in public. Women are told to fight it, fix it, hide it. Lauren's message is a rallying cry. Stop getting distracted by the noise telling you to look younger. Take your rage and use it! Protect the young women coming up behind you from predatory men and impossible standards, to demand that images of real, aging women are seen and celebrated, and to show up for each other the way bonobo monkeys do: fiercely, collectively, without leaving anyone behind.
