Unfortunately, as a VIP member, you’re actually setting yourself up for a serious self-care deficit. And let’s face it, in the roller coaster ride of perimenopause and menopause, a self-care deficit is the last thing you need.

For The Health Of It with Juli Madacey Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Who is that woman staring back at me?!” If so, welcome to mid-life! To paraphrase the immortal Bette Davis, "Aging ain't for sissies!" It’s a time of life that gets a bad rap because of the many changes a woman’s body and mind go through, and the stigma that still goes along with it. And it’s all made worse by the conflicting information you read in the mainstream media. Once you add in all the social media pressure, and images of products and programs showing women over 40 sporting 6-pack abs and promises that you can achieve the same results with virtually no effort, it’s no wonder you stand and stare and wonder what the heck is happening. In this episode of For The Health of It, you’ll enjoy some real talk about what happens during the transitional years of perimenopause and postmenopause, what is normal, and what an aging body is supposed to look like (spoiler alert - it might not be what you think).

For The Health Of It with Juli Madacey Have you ever heard the saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know?” There’s a good reason it exists. We walk around with certain beliefs about what it means to live a healthy life, but how do we know they’re really true?

For The Health Of It with Juli Madacey Every advertisement you see regarding a diet or fitness product is telling you that there is something wrong with you, and only THIS thing is going to fix it. You buy into the belief that IF I lose those 10 pounds, THEN I’ll be happy. So you do this program and try that product, and keep failing, over and over, assuming that YOU are the failure and there is something wrong with you. The whole idea that “I’ll be happy when…” is keeping you stuck, unhappy, and supporting a $78 BILLION diet industry. But what you see when you look in the mirror can have a far more profound impact on your ability to get healthy than you realize. Your sense of self-worth is what determines whether you can create - and maintain - the healthy body and life that you are seeking. It’s what drives every action you take. Fortunately, there is a surprisingly simple way that your mirror can help you improve your self-worth so you can build a body you love living in. Sceptical? Then you won’t want to…

There’s this great new diet for that will help you lose a bunch of weight and keep it off forever, without exercising or changing the way you eat - how amazing is that?! What about that machine you hook up to your abs while you watch TV and enjoy your favourite snacks, and you’ll get 6-pack abs in about a month?

We all want instant gratification, but sooner or later we have to face reality. None of that stuff works. Join Juli…

For The Health Of It with Juli Madacey What is a healthy body, anyway? You see all sorts of images and ads telling you what a healthy body “should” look like, but most of what you see on social media and in advertisements isn’t even remotely close to what a healthy body actually is. There’s a lot more to it than you may think. Did you know that many social media influencers, personal trainers, fitness models, and physique competitors are not only unhealthy, but many of them also deal with disordered eating? And the “Body Positivity Movement” may be leading many people down the wrong path. The human body is an extremely complex organism. While it’s partly true that “you are what you eat,” and getting enough exercise is an important factor in a healthy lifestyle, there are other things that can affect your health in more subtle but very important ways. In this episode, Christine McIver, CEO of Inspired Choices Network will be talking with Juli Madacey, Master Health Coach and Holistic Health Practitioner, host…
