Ketamine Therapy, Demi Moore's Body, Erika Jayne's Settlement and The Crash - 1301
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
The honest conversation about midlife anxiety, perimenopause supplement scams, and why women over 40 can't stop adding things to their plate. I can't stop. I can't rest. And even when I do, I feel guilty about it. Sound familiar? I did my third ketamine therapy session last week and something shifted. I'm not gonna oversell it, but I noticed. And apparently so did hundreds of you who sent me DMs saying you feel the exact same way. We need to talk about this. We also need to talk about what's going on with women in midlife right now because the messages I've been getting from you are telling me...

I Asked My Plastic Surgeon Everything and He Was Brutally Honest - 1300
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
What nobody tells you about facelifts, the real talk on natural results, real costs, and what actually matters. My plastic surgeon looked at my facelift consultation list and said no to half of it.

Listen to all the BTS of My Facelift Journey 👉 Dr. Miguel Mascaro is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in deep plane facelifts and natural results for women over 40.

GLP-1 Protein Propaganda, Bethenny Frankel & Ketamine Treatments - 1299
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
Three new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly “high protein,” the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I’m on a ketamine table as you listen. Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what’s actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone’s talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor’s appointment. She also gets into why every grocery...

Go Directly to this Patreon Episode “Disney Cruise Controversy, Housewives Divorces, and Why AI Is Freaking Me Out” Picture this: what starts as a conversation about a Disney cruise ship scandal suddenly turns into a much bigger discussion about reality TV marriages, power shifts, fame, and what actually changes relationships behind closed doors. It’s messy, unfiltered, and the kind of conversation that spirals in the best way possible. This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff...

AI Is Stealing Followers and Trust w/Brock Johnson - 1298
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
Chalene + her son Brock on the AI avatar takeover, why midlife creators are most at risk, and the one thing AI can never copy. This week’s episode is a little different because Chalene is actually the guest. Brock Johnson invited his mom back onto Build Your Tribe for a conversation that honestly feels very relevant right now. Everyone is rushing to use AI for content, branding, writing, thumbnails, videos, and automation… but what if it’s actually making creators more forgettable? Chalene and Brock break down the growing “trust recession” happening online, why audiences are...

Dorit vs PK Texts, Sports Illustrated Drama, Kim K Lawsuit and AI Is Making Me Tired - 1297
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
Okay… this episode goes everywhere. It starts with a fitness hot take that might make people mad: if women over 40 only have time to lift three days a week… should we just focus on legs? That turns into a whole conversation about muscle, metabolism, longevity, and what actually matters versus what the fitness industry keeps telling us we “should” be doing. Then Bret and I get into the Dorit and PK divorce mess, the Sports Illustrated influencer debate, why influencers honestly work harder than celebrities, and the Kim Kardashian story that has the internet fighting. We also became...

The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
There’s a lot happening right now, and some of it feels a little too familiar. A mysterious virus outbreak on a cruise ship has countries refusing entry, raising real questions about global health risks, travel safety, and whether we’ve actually learned anything since COVID. At the same time, millions of Instagram followers just vanished overnight… including from some of the biggest celebrities in the world. If you’ve ever worried about your growth, your numbers, or what actually matters on social media, this is going to shift your perspective fast. Then things take a turn into pop...

Estrogen Shortage, GLP-1 Risks, and the Diddy and Blake Lively Shocking Updates - 1295
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
There’s a lot happening right now, and some of it deserves real attention. From the estrogen patch shortage, which could last years, to new research on GLP-1 weight loss drugs and what they may be doing to muscle in women over 50, this episode goes deeper than the headlines. It also breaks down what’s unfolding in the Diddy case, the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama, and why situations like these often feel frustrating and unresolved. Then the focus shifts to more personal updates, including Penelope’s health, filming 19 workouts in 3 days, and a few eye-opening moments that...

Saturday Spill | Working Through My Memorial Regrets
The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance
Listen to the full 46 minute Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode “Working Through My Memorial Regrets” Picture this: a memorial service meant to honor someone you love… and instead, you’re sitting there in your own head questioning every decision, every moment, every what-if. Chalene walks through the pressure, the chaos, and the internal spiral happening in real time. It’s emotional, uncomfortable, and the kind of behind-the-scenes honesty you only hear on Patreon. This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered...
info_outlineThree new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly “high protein,” the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I’m on a ketamine table as you listen.
Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what’s actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone’s talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor’s appointment.
She also gets into why every grocery aisle suddenly screams “high protein,” and why this whole moment is starting to feel suspiciously like the Snackwell cookie era. There’s a simple protein target that works without tracking macros, and Chalene walks through how she’s using it.
Then she breaks down the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama that took over Instagram this week. What the shoe brand founder got wrong, what Bethenny got wrong, and the rules of brand partnerships that almost nobody outside the influencer world understands.
Finally, a personal update. As you’re listening to this, Chalene is on the table for another medically supervised ketamine treatment with Dr. Andrew Levinson. She shares why she went back for a third session, what the last journey taught her about control, and who this kind of work is really for.
