Whether we’re sitting at our desks, hunching over our phones or slowly slumping in our chairs, bad posture has a way of catching up with us. And while it may not seem like a big deal right now, as we age poor posture can become a habit with far reaching consequences.

Thankfully, it doesn’t take much for poor posture and alignment to be corrected - and I’m going to tell you how!

In this episode I’m going to introduce you to the PSF Framework - Posture, Strength and Flexibility:

• I’ll walk you through specific stretches to help keep both your upper and lower back, as well as chest and shoulders, loose and flexible.
• We’ll talk simple strengthening exercises to engage your posture-specific muscles.
• I’ll give you my own personal Plan of Action that I intend to incorporate into my daily routine to set me up for decades of good posture.

If you’re looking for a simple, practical way to improve your posture - and ultimately your quality of life for now and years to come - then this is the episode for you!

Do you ever feel like your workouts have kinda stalled out? But what’s the most effective way to get out of a rut and start seeing progress?

Gina finds herself in this same situation: “Hi, Megan. In a recent podcast episode, you had a guest talk about spending less time at the gym, but doing heavier weightlifting and fewer reps. I was wondering what that might mean for someone who is 63 and has been doing weightlifting, but not really increasing my weight.”

Ooh, Gina, I love this question!

Let’s talk about diabetes.

Unfortunately, diabetes is on the rise, and more and more women are wondering how to properly manage their blood sugar levels. This focus becomes even more important for women over 40. Menopausal hormone shifts can have a dramatic impact on insulin sensitivity.

To help us discover more about this connection between hormones and insulin, is Melissa Slemp. Melissa is a health coach who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 42 years - so she knows more than a thing or two about blood sugars, especially dealing with diabetes while going through perimenopause.

On this episode Melissa shares her personal experience with managing blood sugars and the habit shifts we can focus on to improve our insulin sensitivity and maintain healthy blood sugar levels for many years to come.

Get ready for some practical guidance on how to manage your blood sugar levels, the impact of hormones on insulin sensitivity, and how to begin to both educate yourself and advocate for yourself on your health journey.
