SSRIs can save some people's lives, but for too many people, they are bandaids at best.

Reverse lunges are simply more knee friendly…

Due to the backwards step mechanism, the reverse lunge places more stain on the hips, and less stress on the knees.

Reverse lunges are also extremely strong and stable due to:

✅More forward torso angle (pushes BW into hips)
✅Deeper hip flexion (targets glutes and hamstrings)
✅More vertical shin angle (less stress on knees)
✅Greater posterior chain stability (supports knees/hips)

Expect to be 20-30% stronger lunging reverse vs forward.

NOTE: Forward lunges are still a great exercise, but more advanced involving heavy deceleration stress on the knees while the quads and anterior chain are trained more directly

Follow @menopauseforward to master your midlife transition.

Nobody tells you to start saving for retirement once you’ve retired. Yet that’s often how we treat our health.

The investment you make in your body now won’t show up tomorrow. It shows up in 20 years, when you need it most.

Here’s what that investment looks like:

→ A reserve: strength, bone, and metabolic health you can draw on later.

→ A habit: the routines your body comes to rely on.

→ A routine: small, repeatable choices that compound quietly over time.

How you build it is up to you. Some women choose to look into hormone therapy, others focus on nutrition, exercise, or all three. There’s more than one path, and you get to choose yours.

I like to think of perimenopause as a good moment to start making those deposits, even small ones.

A little consistency now can make a real difference later.

Educational content only. Always consult your healthcare provider about long-term health planning during perimenopause and menopause.

Being average at something doesn’t mean you have to stay average.

I’ve always believed that resourcefulness, effort, and consistency can take you further than natural talent.

You don’t have to be the smartest, the strongest, or the most gifted person in the room. You just have to be willing to put in the work.

Want to stop waiting for someone to give you a chance and start creating your own? I created a 7-Day Challenge to help you take action, become more visible, and make more opportunities happen. Comment HUSTLE and I’ll send it to you.

Shawn Stevenson says the time you go to sleep matters more than how long you sleep, and he’s got a few other habits that might surprise you…

Dr. Cole’s friend Shawn is back on the podcast.

He’s the creator of The Model Health Show and the author of Sleep Smarter, and he’s great at turning hard science into something you can use tomorrow morning.

He makes the case that a consistent bedtime is one of the biggest sleep levers most people never pull.

We also get into a study on water-induced thermogenesis, where drinking about 17 ounces of water within a couple of minutes raised metabolic rate by roughly 30%.

Then it gets deeper. Shawn explains the difference between isolation and loneliness, and why isolation might be the more dangerous of the two.

That connects to the longest-running study ever done on human health, which points to the quality of our relationships as the top predictor of how long and how well we live.

And he’s got strong opinions on why maximalist shoes could be muting the signals your feet send to your brain.

Which one are you trying first?

The longest study ever done on human health says the number one predictor of how long you’ll live isn’t related to your diet or your workouts…

In my conversation with Shawn Stevenson, he shared what he learned from Dr. Robert Waldinger, who runs the Harvard study that has followed people for over 80 years.

The quality of our relationships ranked way above both diet and exercise.

Shawn explained why…

The best data points to stress, and having people in our corner helps our bodies work through it. A JAMA report found that up to 80% of doctor visits have a major stress component, and we still barely talk about it.

I see this in my own telehealth clinic. The quality of someone’s relationships and their sense of community can be so healing, and it often shows up in how people respond to care.

Then Shawn separated two things most of us blur together:

You can feel lonely in a room full of people, but isolation on its own is a deadly risk factor.

We also got into the water habit that can give your metabolism a bump, why the timing of your sleep may matter more than the number of hours, and the barefoot-style shoes Shawn swears by.

Five minutes of walking might be one of the easiest ways to unstick your brain...

Dr. Cole’s friend Shawn Stevenson, the creator of The Model Health Show, shares that movement is the last main part of his day, and he points to Stanford research behind it.

Researchers compared walking and sitting during cognitive tasks, including creative ones. Walking for as little as 5 minutes, and up to about 15 or 16, raised divergent thinking by roughly 60%.

When we hit a problem, we tend to stay stuck on it. Divergent thinking helps you see it in new and different ways.

When you’re stuck, do you push through or step away for a walk?

A simple hello to a neighbor might be doing more for your health than you’d think...

Dr. Cole’s friend Shawn Stevenson, the creator of The Model Health Show, talks about stepping outside your comfort zone with the people around you. It can be as small as a smile or eye contact with someone you pass.

His point is that a quick acknowledgement lets someone know they’ve been seen, and you never know what that person is going through.

It ties back to the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which found that relationship quality is the strongest predictor of how long and how well we live.

What’s one small way you could connect with someone near you this week?

What if two of the most powerful longevity habits are also among the simplest?

Shawn Stevenson explains how daily walking may support metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and healthy hormone function. While 4,000 steps may help prevent inactivity, research suggests that greater daily movement can provide additional benefits.

But physical health is only part of the picture.
Strong social bonds can help us process stress, feel supported, and stay connected to something beyond our own thoughts. Sometimes, simply knowing that someone has your back can make a meaningful difference.

The takeaway is simple: move your body, protect your relationships, and do both consistently.

Shawn Stevenson doesn’t look at his phone until his morning routine is done, and once you hear why, you might not reach for yours first thing again…

My friend Shawn is back on the podcast! He’s the creator of The Model Health Show and the author of Sleep Smarter, and he has a gift for making hard science feel like something you can use by tomorrow morning.

He explains that there’s a powerful cognitive window right after you wake up, and most people spend it scrolling.

We get into what that does to your brain and what he does with that time instead, including his 24-ounce inner bath.

He also walks through a study on water-induced thermogenesis, where drinking about 17 ounces of water within a couple of minutes raised metabolic rate by about 30%.

Then we get into the Harvard Study of Adult Development and why something as small as saying hello to your neighbor and making eye contact could matter for how long you live.

And his biggest tip for sleep? He warned me I might not like the answer…
