    107 Lori Aloisio: Holistic Harmony: Secrets of Lasting Weightloss
    Mar 27 2026

    In this Flashback Friday EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, we focus on helping women to achieve sustainable weight loss through uncovering the underlying beliefs leading to excess weight gain.

    Today's Featured Guest is Lori Aloisio, holistic health coach and registered nurse. Lori's passion for helping and healing initially led her to become a registered nurse but she always viewed health and well being from a holistic perspective. Knowing that she needed to look at a larger picture to understand the many factors that contribute to illness and disease, Lori went on to study alternative healing practices, including ancient Chinese medicine, therapeutic and other nutrition techniques. In helping women struggle with weight loss problems, she's focused on showing that there are sustainable options.

  • 260 From Self Doubt to Self Trust: Reframing Midlife through Biology, Beauty and Brain Science with Natalya Borakowski

    260 From Self Doubt to Self Trust: Reframing Midlife through Biology, Beauty and Brain Science with Natalya Borakowski
    Mar 23 2026
    In this conversation with Dr. Gillian Lockitch, Dr. Natalya Borakowski explains the neurological remodeling and hormonal shifts that occur during perimenopause and menopause — and why these changes can trigger identity disruption and appearance anxiety. You'll learn how understanding the biology behind midlife can restore self-trust, reduce fear, and support aging youthfully. Midlife often arrives with an unexpected sense of instability. Women describe feeling anxious, self-critical, emotionally reactive, or disconnected from their reflection — even when medical tests show nothing "wrong." Estrogen and progesterone influence neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, and serotonin, and hormonal shifts temporarily alter emotional regulation, stress response, and self-perception This experience is not psychological weakness or hysteria. It is a biological and neurological transition that most women are never prepared for. If we misinterpret midlife symptoms as personal failure, we amplify stress and self-judgment — two drivers of accelerated aging. For women committed to healthy longevity and extending healthspan, understanding the hormonal remodeling of the brain is essential. When we understand what is happening, fear lessens. And when fear lessens, physiology follows. Natalya Borakowski is a naturopathic physician and founder of Desert Bloom Skincare. Her upcoming book, Emotional Esthetics: The Story of Aging, The Biology of Beauty, and the Art of Self-Trust, reframes midlife distress as a natural neurological transition rather than a cosmetic crisis. Episode Timeline: 00:00 — Opening question: Is midlife distress biological, not psychological? 03:45 — Natalya's journey into medicine and skin health 07:30 — Cultural pressures, appearance & identity 13:15 — The "identity perception split" explained 18:40 — Hormones, neurotransmitters & brain remodeling 23:50 — Wellness vs performance and self-surveillance 26:30 — Personal stories: health crises & device tracking 31:10 — Nervous system safety and the vagus nerve 32:10 — The essential mindset shift: aging as transformation 34:10 — Closing reflections and resources Connect with Natalya Borakowski We are happy to offer a complimentary download The Aging Out Loud Starter kit https://free-gift.unveilyou.life/ Instagram accounts @unveilyou.life @natalyaborakowski LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/natalyaborakowski Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download your guide toBuild Back a Better Body: Strengthen Bones, Muscles, Joint and Fascia Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch at askdrgill@gmail.com to request a phone conversation or zoom call Join the Growing Older Living Younger Facebook Community here Share the Growing Older Living Younger podcast link for anyone you care about and invite them to subscribe
