Menopause can knock us down. Midlife can knock us down. As you learn in humbling sports like surfing, it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down; it’s how many times you get up and learn and grow and evolve. This week, CrossFit Games champion and health, wellness, and mindset coach Leka Fineman shares her struggles with identity grief and personal loss, and where she found solace and strength to keep going.

The downside of accomplishments is the comedown that can follow. You work months or even years to achieve goals. And inevitably, time moves on. Life changes. You change. You can find yourself comparing your current self to your former self and unsure of who you even are. This week, CrossFit Games champion and health, wellness, and mindset coach Leka Fineman shares her struggles with identity grief and personal loss, and where she found solace and strength to keep going.

We all think ‘weight’ when it comes to GLP-1s, but there are many surprising health benefits that can draw people to try them — from blood sugar to cardiovascular risk to sleep apnea. The catch, says this week’s guest performance nutritionist Heidi Skolnik, MS, CDN, author of the new book Your GLP-1 Game Plan: health and performance aren’t the same thing. What helps your health may not help — and could even hurt — your performance if you can’t fuel and hydrate properly.

There are many reasons midlife women are choosing to use GLP-1 weight loss medications, but how well they work in every aspect of an active woman’s life is an open question, says this week’s guest performance nutritionist Heidi Skolnik, MS, CDN, author of the new book Your GLP-1 Game Plan. Ultimately, active women need to go in fully informed, understand their motivation, and be prepared for some trial and error to manage their health, performance, and weight loss goals.

One of the most impassioned debates online is whether menopause hormone therapy is safe for women who have had DCIS or Stage 0 breast cancer. Some say, the answer is simple: if you had it removed and it didn’t spread, it should be safe to use hormones. Others, like this week’s guests Drs. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Amy Voedisch, co-authors of Estrogen, Interrupted, say it’s not that simple. DCIS itself is not a black and white distinction, and whether or not hormones could fuel cancer progression requires nuanced discussion, and perhaps alternative menopause symptom treatments.

This week on Hit Play Not Pause we break down what you need to know about hormone therapy decision making, as well as new medications, old myths, classic therapies, and what to do when you can’t take hormones. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts. by @fitchick3
