How Much Collagen Counts Toward Protein Needs?
The Flipping 50 Show
How much does collagen count toward your protein needs? It’s an excellent question. There are a couple things to keep in mind with protein. It’s like a prescription med in that if you don’t have enough of it, you don’t get the benefit. You’d never take an Rx med just half now and half later if it is supposed to be taken 3x a day in the full dose. Likewise with protein. If you don’t get enough for the muscle protein synthesis, that is, the ability to boost an anabolic reaction in the muscle, you may support satiety and blood sugar stabilization but not preserve your lean...

Clutter Free, Lighter Weight, and Better Sleep?
The Flipping 50 Show
I’m everything but clutter free. I sit at my desk (aka the dining room table) and can count 5 piles of unique content, just reduced from 6 because I have one sitting behind me on the chair to toss. I’m not proud of this and I know the direct correlation between inability to focus and the mess I see. But it happens in some kind of effort to keep it top-of-mind so I get to it next. Thanks for not asking how well this is going. Apparently 55% of us are stressed by the clutter in our homes. Assuming now that this is also work for many of us this includes the office. Yet, over 94%...

The Chronic Pain Solution for Complete Resolution
The Flipping 50 Show
The chronic pain of tight upper back and neck and mid back combined with desire to gain strength and muscle through lifting weights may just be creating a vicious cycle. Could you be not over exercising, but under aware of your posture, over amplifying poor postural habits by your lifting and making things worse. Recently, three individuals on the same day, made me aware that lifting heavier caused acute tension and resulted in headaches either immediately or later after the workout. We reviewed posture. Chronically, forward head hang was a common denominator, either as static posture or...

Better Mattress, Better Sleep in Menopause?
The Flipping 50 Show
Ask any woman what she wants and it just might be better sleep in menopause. Ask her what her biggest challenges are and she might say belly fat or energy but often the underlying reason is poor sleep whether she knows it or not.

Which Hormones Matter Most in Meno(pause)
The Flipping 50 Show
Which hormones matter most for your health during and after menopause? I’m asked far too often about unique individual hormones. This week it was testosterone and DHEA. Both I wrote about in You Still Got It, Girl! Yet, you don’t want to just look at individual hormones without looking at the whole picture of your signs, symptoms, basically your subjective measures and your objective measures of muscle mass, bone density, strength changes, sleep number (to some extent) and even Heart Rate Variability. I brought the hormone mistress (she doesn’t know I’m calling her that!) on this...
