Who doesn’t love some fun and comfy jam-jams on a slow Saturday morning?! Gets me all silly…and makes me wanna just slow down, hang out on my floor and chill. (A rare thing!)

Don’t have any comfy jammers? Black Friday self-care purchase? Uh huhhhhh. 👌 these are from PrintFresh.

Thanks for this sweet gift! (She has a matching set! 😍) Love!

Woke up feeling that uh-oh tickle in my throat 😷—so here’s exactly what I do the moment I feel something coming on.
These are my immune-boosting go-tos to help my body fight off infection and bounce back fast. I don’t wait—I start same-day!

🧴 Think: high-quality C, zinc, a solid multi with Bs, vitamin D (especially in winter), and a few extra goodies like methylene blue and thymosin alpha-1 peptides.

I go into detail on dosing cadence and quality in the video—but remember: always check what’s right for you.

Stay well, friends. ‘Tis the season 🧣💪

Save this for your next sniffle and check my Fullscript if you want to explore my favorite immune supports. (In my link in bio under Quality Supplement I like).

This week I did some cold plunging - 8c in 32c heat in Zihuatanejo Mexico!

Did you know you can use different cold plunge tactics for different goals?

If your goal is GAINS (muscle & strength):
👉 Skip the plunge right after lifting – regular post‑lift cold can blunt hypertrophy (muscle growth) and strength adaptations.
✅ How to: Wait at least 4–6 hours after resistance training (or use cold on non‑lifting days) if you care most about long‑term gains.

If your goal is RECOVERY (back‑to‑back sessions / games):
👉 Plunging soon after hard sessions can reduce soreness and help neuromuscular recovery into the next 24 hours.
✅ How to: Go in within ~1 hour, 10–15 °C for ~10–15 minutes, especially during dense competition or heavy training blocks.

If your goal is GENERAL HEALTH / MOOD:
👉 Use cold on separate days or far from your lifting window to get the mental and metabolic benefits without messing with strength work.
✅ How to: 2–4 short plunges per week, 2–5 minutes each at a challenging but safe temp you can tolerate and breathe calmly through.

Stories like this mean everything to me.

Not because of the results alone — but because of the shift that happens underneath them.

When Penelope joined Better Beyond 40, she was overwhelmed by conflicting advice and noise. What changed wasn’t just her hormones — it was her relationship with her body.

She learned how to listen, trust, and work with it again. That’s the real transformation: clarity instead of confusion, connection instead of control.

This is why I do this work — helping women understand that midlife isn’t the beginning of the end; it’s the start of their most balanced, confident chapter yet.

🌿 Better Beyond 40 — science-backed, hormone-informed, built for women who are ready to thrive.

I used to think growth meant pushing harder. Now I know it means allowing more.

Rest and alignment aren’t luxuries — they’re requirements. When my hormones, habits, and mindset finally synced, everything softened.

And life expanded.

I could do and be more of myself, on all levels. Even my blood work looked better.

This is the work I teach — not chasing youth, but creating vitality that feels like this.

🌴 Better Beyond 40 — for women ready to thrive in their own rhythm.

Feeling like your sleep, mood or weight are more challenging than they used to be? You’re not imagining it — your internal clock plays a major role, especially in midlife.

In this carousel I break down why your circadian rhythm matters now more than ever, and how you can begin real, science‑backed lifestyle shifts.

Start with morning light ☀️ + consistent routines 🔄 + true darkness at night 🌙. You can support your body’s rhythms instead of fighting them.
