S4 E11: Wine and Waistlines

This episode is all warm and fuzzy feelings. Cindy B. tries not to cry when she and Cindy H. share their excitement of the FIFA World Cup, how visitors view America, plus summer travel plans (more not crying) and highlights from a more serious Season 4, that include a lot of learning about new needs for our middle-aged body and brain.

We thought Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) looked a little goofy. Okay... a lot goofy. But after learning that tapping may help lower stress and cortisol levels, we decided to give it a try. In this episode, we share what EFT is, we try it, and decide whether two skeptical Cindys find our inner zen—or just gave ourselves a forehead workout.

You've heard of Fight or Flight, but let's dive deeper with ways we can reduce everyday stress. Cindy H. and Cindy B. find some interesting and kinda fun ways to reduce cortisol and keep the calm.

Turning up the heat and the red lights for this try before you buy. We compare the two wellness trends, share what they do, what science says and our own experiences so you can know what you're in for!

We’re talking lifting heavier, sprinting smarter, sleeping like it’s your job, and—gasp—actually eating enough. Because this isn’t about surviving menopause—it’s about thriving through it…with a little sweat, a lot of sass, and maybe a glass of wine on the side.
