    Apr 2 2026

    If you’re in your third phase (60+) and you’ve ever wondered which supplements are actually worth taking—and when to take them—this episode is for you. Lori Carpenter welcomes wellness expert Jana Donohoe back to the show for an actionable conversation on healthy aging, strength training, and recovery, with a focus on the basics that move the needle: protein intake, hydration, sleep, and consistency. Jana breaks down why creatine isn’t just for muscles (and how it may support brain health), how to use collagen and protein powder more effectively, and what “third-party tested” really means when you’re trying to avoid fillers. Plus, they share smart travel snack ideas—like pistachios, tuna packs, jerky, roasted chickpeas, and make-ahead options—so you can stay energized on the go without living at the pastry table.
