The Midlife Shift with Alex Brooks

• #3: Friendship, finances and why health is wealth with Julia Morris & Kate Langbroek

  What happens when two of Australia’s funniest women sit down for an unfiltered chat about midlife, friendship and money? Lots of talking over each other but also big reveals about menopause, the ADHD brain and, well, sharing toothbrushes. In this episode of The Midlife Shift, host Alex Brooks talks to two sassy women, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here host Julia Morris and The Project host Kate Langbroek about everything from surviving teenage kids, health tips (both have dealt with cancer diagnoses in their families), the importance of managing money and the myths around superannuation. Expect some insights on hurtling towards midlife, cancel culture and some eyebrow-raising confessions (yes, involving toothbrushes and… eyebrows). Kate and Julia also share thoughts on ADHD, menopause and the late diagnosis wave as well as what matters more: health or wealth? Oh, and if you listen to the end, you’ll discover why Julia refuses to wear shapewear and Kate is into sun gazing and dancing in the rain.   Find Julia hereInstagram: @ladyjuliamorrisBook: Julia Morris makes it easyFind Kate hereInstagram: @katelangbroekBook: Ciao Bella!Podcast: The Buck Up with Kate Langbroek and Nath ValvoCitro is here to helpHow to exercise through menopause and beyondCould delaying menopause help us live longer?Dementia and cognitive decline 101Your secret weapon against frailty: muscle powerHow to nurture social connections to feel like you truly belongHello muscles: 10 benefits of strength trainingAFTER WATCHING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR SURVEYYour responses will help shape upcoming episodes of The Midlife Shift with Alex Brooks.

• #1: Menopause and midlife health with Michelle Bridges

  From The Biggest Loser to 12 week body transformations, Michelle Bridges has been transforming and helping people become healthier versions of themselves for decades. Michelle Bridges started teaching fitness classes at the age of 14, hit our TV screens on The Biggest Loser in her 30s and had her first child at the age of 45. She’s always been a hard worker, but acknowledges how difficult it is for women to fit everything in. Growing up as the youngest daughter of a single mum in an era where kids weren’t allowed to get in the way of work, she knew from the start that she wanted to raise her son Axel differently. So she’s worked doubly hard to be a present parent; being there for school pick ups, sporting events and even coaching Axel’s soccer league at one point (lucky kids!).Watch the episode hereClick here for the video transcriptMichelle says she was flippant about her fertility and feels blessed to have been able to get pregnant at 44, an age when she was likely experiencing perimenopause. The trainer says she knew remarkably little about perimenopause and menopause, until she began diagnosing her own symptoms after she experienced brain fog and problems sleeping. She talks to The Midlife Shift about what midlife wellness really means to her, including the importance of protein, strength training and dealing with different perimenopause symptoms. Michelle also explains how she manages diet, nutrition and supplements – including a rundown on those she takes herself – before diving into the money lessons she wishes she’d learned earlier. Michelle explains how her upbringing geared her towards financial independence – she now contributes to a self-managed superannuation scheme. She  shares her hopes for retirement income and how she'll spend it all on physio and fitness to stay as well as she can for as long as she can.Find Michelle hereMichelle Bridges 12WBTBooks by Michelle Bridges’We Have a Situation’ podcastCitro is here to helpMastering menopause - a Citro guideCould delaying menopause help women live longer?How to exercise during menopause and beyondHello muscles: 10 benefits of strength trainingFurther readingMenopause and cholesterolVitamin D and perimenopauseMenopause and proteinVitamin B6 toxicityCreatine for women’s healthDebunking the myths about HRT/MHTPlease fill out our survey to let us know what you think. 🙏
