433. Specific Eating Habits to Reduce Cholesterol

Friday, February 14, 2025 • Duration 05:47

Did you know that about 10% of Americans have high cholesterol, and many don’t even know it. The reality is as we age, we become more likely to have elevated cholesterol levels, which can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. And while treating high cholesterol can be as easy as picking up a new prescription at the pharmacy, what if you want to tackle it drug-free?

Listener Carolyn asks**:**“I currently have high cholesterol and really don't want to take medication. I am hoping to get my numbers down by diet and exercise. What’s my best plan of action on the nutrition front? Can I still have occasional splurges? And if so, are there any splurges that I really need to avoid all together that will impact my cholesterol numbers?”

To tackle Carolyn’s question, we’ve invited Dr. Federica Amati back to the podcast. Dr. Amati works as Head Nutritionist for the personalized health company,Zoe, and she’s written two fantastic books,Recipes for a Better Menopause andEvery Body Should Know This. When it comes to knowing exactly how to eat best during midlife - without being extreme or restrictive about it, which I love! - she knows what really works.

431. Climb Down on the Floor & Get Back Up Easily - How to Build Your Strength!

Friday, February 7, 2025 • Duration 09:12

I post lots of training and how-to videos on social media, and most of them get anywhere between 25,000 and 100K views if they’re really hitting. But right now, I have 3 videos right now that have reached about 1 million views. Whoa!

You wanna know what they all have in common?

They aren’t about complicated strength training moves, nutrition advice or ways to stay motivated. They address the very real, every day challenge of climbing down on the floor and getting back up again with ease.

If this is something you currently struggle with, you’re not alone. And if it’s not you yet, don’t get caught thinking this is just a problem for a much older version of you. Losing your ability to climb down easily & get back up again doesn’t happen overnight - it happens over years and the decline usually starts in your 40’s.

Tune into this week’s quick episode, where I’ll outline the things you need to get up and down off the floor with ease, as well as practical exercises to help make it happen!

422. The Only 4 Nutrition Habits You Need to Feel Amazing

Tuesday, January 7, 2025 • Duration 31:30

Every year, it feels like eating healthy gets more and more complicated. So many rules, so many do’s and don’ts. Eat more of this, less of that. Avoid entire food groups but make sure you’re eating plenty of these other food groups!

And when it gets too complicated you’ll inevitably feel like you’re doing it wrong, you’ll get overwhelmed, and you’ll just stop trying.

So while the nutritional world gets more complicated, let’s go the other direction and blaze a different trail.

This week we’re going to cut through all the noise and zero in on 4 SIMPLE habits that will make you feel fantastic. No special equipment or supplements needed. Just four things you can start doing TODAY that will have a significant impact on your health and well-being.

If the nutritional “noise” is making your head spin, then this episode is for you!

332. Splurging, Mindless Snacking & Stress Eating: Your Biggest Nutrition Struggles Solved!

Season 6 · Episode 82

Tuesday, February 27, 2024 • Duration 21:35

Without a doubt, the most common questions I get asked are about nutrition. The women I talk to usually have a pretty good grasp on the things they SHOULD be eating. The challenge comes with getting a handle on what they “SHOULDN’T” be eating - you know, the snacking and splurging that can sabotage the best laid plans!

This week we’re doing something a little different. I’ve gone back into the archives and pulled three short clips from our Ask Megan episodes that address these burning questions.

Take a listen as we tackle:

Overcoming mood eating with mindfulness
Splurges - how many is too many?
Stopping the mindless between-meal snacking

My hope is that this compilation gives you the exact strategies that you can use TODAY to get control of your eating habits.

331. The Optimal Workout Time for the BEST Results

Season 6 · Episode 81

Friday, February 23, 2024 • Duration 08:39

Trying to fit exercise into our busy schedules can be challenging. But should we be considering the best time of day to workout?

Listener Martha asks: “Hi, Megan. I'm wondering if there's a preferred time of day to workout. Should I be working out first thing in the morning? Is there a time of day I should avoid? Is there a certain time of day specifically to do cardio or lift weights? I'm trying to get stronger, maybe lose a few pounds, but really just want to be consistent.”

In this shortie episode, I talk about workout timing - and what I recommend may be a hot take! But if you’re looking for a way to make your workouts consistent, then this advice may be exactly what you need!

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.

When we start thinking about weight loss, what we’re really wanting is FAT LOSS. But so often our pursuit of fat loss is filled with frustration, confusion and defeat. How do I lose fat but maintain muscle mass? Why do the things I did in my 20s not work in my 40s, 50s and beyond? Why is the number on the scale just not moving?

Meet my friend Philip Pape - he’s a nutrition coach and the host of the Wits & Weights podcast, one of the top 25 nutrition podcasts. Today we’re going to dig into the strategies that ACTUALLY work if sustainable fat loss is one of your goals.

Body Composition - what it is and why it matters.
The difference between “weight loss” and “fat loss”.
The 3 big guiding principles for true, sustainable fat loss - and how to incorporate them into your life.

329. Exercising with Osteopenia & Low Bone Density - The Do’s and Don’ts

Season 6 · Episode 79

Friday, February 16, 2024 • Duration 09:20

You’ve heard me rave about the short-term and long-term benefits of strength training. And maybe I’ve convinced you that this is the direction to go with your fitness. But what do you do if the desire to strength train runs into underlying bone health issues?

Listener Lex has this very question: “I am a 50-year-old woman who has never strength trained - so I'd be starting from scratch. And I've considered using your program, but you know what stops me? I have osteopenia. And I don't know if I would need to modify the program or how I would go about in a way to address the osteopenia. I don't want to hurt myself any further - I want to get on a fast track to improving it. What are your thoughts?”

Lex, I promise you’re not the only one with this concern!

In this quick episode, I talk about Osteoporosis and Osteopenia and the differences between them, and then I give you advice on the things you should be doing, and the things to avoid to help not only address, but improve your Osteopenia.

Tuesday, February 13, 2024 • Duration 31:03

Do you feel like with each passing year your body is beginning to fall apart and become less mobile? Movements feel stiff and actions that used to be effortless are now uncomfortable?

I’m often asked, “What can I do to maintain and improve my mobility as I age?” I think the underlying question is, “What can I do to not feel like I’m moving like an old person!”

And the answer is: MOBILITY. And more specifically, JOINT MOBILITY - which is essentially the ability for your joints to move around the way you want them to.

Tune in this week as we discuss:

327. Night Sweats & Hot Flashes! Triggers & Remedies to Ease Symptoms

Season 6 · Episode 77

Friday, February 9, 2024 • Duration 09:45

Ask any woman over 40, and they’ll know exactly what you’re talking about. You wake up in the middle of the night feeling like you just dunked yourself in a pool - literally dripping with sweat. But you’re not necessarily hot, you’re actually clammy and can’t get warm.

What the heck is going on here?!

Listener Dawn asks: “Night sweats. Good Lord, woman. I know there are many women that suffer from night sweats. Mine is partially because of the full hysterectomy and the chemo from cancer. But even past treatment and in remission, I now have night sweats tremendously. So that's my question. What can I do?!”

In this shortie episode, I dive into Vasomotor Symptoms - you know them as night sweats, hot flashes, heart palpitations, and even changes in blood pressure. I’m sure it’s no surprise that fluctuating hormones are the culprit - but what exactly is happening in our bodies and want can we do to help manage it?

326. Defying All Expectations: Strength, Aging, and Body Image

Season 6 · Episode 76

Tuesday, February 6, 2024 • Duration 32:17

So often we measure our success by decrease - Is the number on the scale going down? Are my clothing sizes getting smaller? But what would it look like to shift our focus to increase? How much weight could I lift? How strong could I get?

Meet Alyssa Ages, who asked herself this very question. She wanted to know how physically strong she could become. And that question led her on a journey of building real strength, becoming a Strongman Competitor, and, at the age of 40, pulling a semi truck.

Alyssa documents her journey to uncover the true meaning of strength in her book Secrets of Giants. This week we sit down and talk about body image, many women’s ongoing fear of “getting bulky”, muscle and bone health with aging, and the confidence that comes with being someone that’s really, really strong.

Get ready for a truly inspirational and empowering conversation that just might change the way you measure success.
