    S8 E10 The Truth About Women, Aging and Strength Training with Dr. Vonda Wright
    Jul 29 2025
    This week on Beauty is a Bitch, we’re diving into one of my favorite topics: how to age stronger, smarter and on our own terms. My guest today, Dr. Vonda Wright, is an orthopedic surgeon and internationally recognized expert on active aging and mobility. She’s spent 25 years helping everyone from elite athletes to professional dancers stay strong, injury-free and performing at their best—and now she’s sharing her expertise with the rest of us. Her new book, UNBREAKABLE: Go Strong. Live Long. Age with Power (coming out August, 26, 2025) is a powerful guide to building what she calls “shields” against the timebombs of aging—so we can extend not just our lifespan, but our health span. In this episode, we talk about why strength training is essential—especially in midlife—what push-ups and jumping can tell us about our longevity, and why it’s never too late to get stronger and feel better in your body. We also bust some of the biggest myths about women and aging—and Dr. Wright shares what she hopes every woman takes away from her book. If you’re ready to shift how you think about aging—and take back your power—this one’s for you. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: Pre-Order: UNBREAKABLE: Go Strong. Live Long.

    S8 E9 How to Prevent Travel-Related Back Pain in Midlife with Dr. Okubadejo
    Jul 11 2025
    If you’ve noticed your lower back doesn’t love planes, trains, or even the carpool line anymore—you’re not imagining it. As we age, our bodies become more vulnerable to travel-related back pain, especially for women over 50. But here’s the good news: there are simple, science-backed ways to feel better on the go—and today’s guest has the expert advice you need. Lauren sits down with renowned NYC spine surgeon and founder of The Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, Dr. Bolanle Okubadejo, to break down why our backs get cranky during travel, and what we can actually do about it. From posture hacks to lifting tips, and even small movement strategies you can do right from your seat, this episode is full of practical tools to help you protect your spine without relying on gimmicks or gear. They’ll also discuss why women over 50 are particularly susceptible to back pain, the common travel mistakes that make it worse, and how to stay mobile, strong, and pain-free—no matter where life takes you. If you’re heading out on vacation, commuting daily, or just tired of feeling stiff after sitting, this is your must-listen episode. Your spine will thank you.

  • S8 E8: Death Clock, AI & Taking Control of Your Health with Brent Franson

    S8 E8: Death Clock, AI & Taking Control of Your Health with Brent Franson
    Jun 20 2025
    This episode we’re diving into the intersection of aging and technology. My guest is Brent Franson, the Founder and CEO of Death Clock (yes, that’s really what it’s called), the world’s most downloaded longevity app. It may sound scary but promise it isn't. It’s been named one of the "Techs That Will Change Your Life in 2025" by The Wall Street Journal, and has ranked in the top five of the U.S. App Store’s Health & Fitness category—so clearly, something’s working. We talk about how AI and tech are transforming the way we think about aging, prevention, and longevity, especially for women in midlife. Brent created Death Clock out of frustration with a system that only reacts when we're already sick. His mission? Help people take proactive steps—before it becomes a health crisis. We explore why it’s never too late (or too early) to start investing in your future self, how tech can empower women over 50, and why tracking your habits might be the most life-affirming thing you do. Here is some of what you can expect in this episode: What the Death Clock app actually does (and why it’s not morbid at all) Why the healthcare system is reactive—and how tech helps you get proactive How AI can empower women in midlife to stay informed, independent, and healthy The surprising connection between daily habits and longevity How wearables and digital wellness tools are changing the game for aging If you’re curious about AI, aging, or just want to live longer—and better—this episode is for you.
