The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance

The honest conversation about midlife anxiety, perimenopause supplement scams, and why women over 40 can't stop adding things to their plate.
I can't stop. I can't rest. And even when I do, I feel guilty about it. Sound familiar? I did my third ketamine therapy session last week and something shifted. I'm not gonna oversell it, but I noticed. And apparently so did hundreds of you who sent me DMs saying you feel the exact same way. We need to talk about this.
We also need to talk about what's going on with women in midlife right now because the messages I've been getting from you are telling me this is not just a Chalene problem. The anxiety. The pressure. The guilt when you finally rest. That's an us problem.
Plus there's a major investigation just published about how supplement companies are targeting women in perimenopause with products that have zero clinical evidence behind them. In at least one case it led to a misdiagnosis of cancer. I'm giving you the one question to ask before you buy anything in this space.
Then we're getting into the Erika Jayne settlement because the media has this completely wrong and the $2 million number everyone keeps repeating is not the whole story.
And at the very end, spoiler warning, my full breakdown of The Crash on Netflix and everything they conveniently left out.

Listen to the full 47 minute Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "I Did Ketamine Therapy AGAIN Here's What Actually Happened" https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-did-ketamine-158992336
Picture this: Chalene opens up about trying medically supervised ketamine therapy to break her addiction to being busy… and the internet absolutely loses its mind. What starts as a vulnerable conversation quickly turns into backlash, outrage, and one of the most unfiltered discussions she's had in a while.
This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff that usually stays on Patreon. Some weeks it's hilarious, some weeks it's jaw-dropping, but it's always real life that doesn't quite fit on the regular show. If you're into a little chaos and behind-the-scenes tea, you're in the right place. If you love it, amazing…you can listen to the full, unedited version here http://Chalene.com/more

What nobody tells you about facelifts, the real talk on natural results, real costs, and what actually matters.
My plastic surgeon looked at my facelift consultation list and said no to half of it. Honestly? That's when I knew he was the right one.

Listen to all the BTS of My Facelift Journey  👉http://chalene.com/facelift
Dr. Miguel Mascaro is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in deep plane facelifts and natural results for women over 40. He only takes patients by referral. His wait list is two to three years out. And in this conversation, he was more honest with me than any surgeon I've ever talked to.
We get into everything. Why good facelift results go completely unnoticed. Why waiting too long is actually one of the biggest mistakes you can make. What's really going on when someone comes out of facial plastic surgery looking nothing like themselves? And why doing every procedure on your list at once almost always backfires.
I also tell you exactly what I had done, what Dr. Mascaro told me I didn't need, how I treated my facelift recovery like a full-time job, and yes, I tell you exactly what I paid for my extended deep plane facelift. Down to the penny. But you're gonna have to watch till the end for that one.
I am just your bossy big sister who really doesn't want you to mess up your face.

Three new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly "high protein," the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I'm on a ketamine table as you listen.
Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what's actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone's talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor's appointment.
She also gets into why every grocery aisle suddenly screams "high protein," and why this whole moment is starting to feel suspiciously like the Snackwell cookie era. There's a simple protein target that works without tracking macros, and Chalene walks through how she's using it.
Then she breaks down the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama that took over Instagram this week. What the shoe brand founder got wrong, what Bethenny got wrong, and the rules of brand partnerships that almost nobody outside the influencer world understands.
Finally, a personal update. As you're listening to this, Chalene is on the table for another medically supervised ketamine treatment with Dr. Andrew Levinson. She shares why she went back for a third session, what the last journey taught her about control, and who this kind of work is really for.

Picture this: what starts as a conversation about a Disney cruise ship scandal suddenly turns into a much bigger discussion about reality TV marriages, power shifts, fame, and what actually changes relationships behind closed doors. It's messy, unfiltered, and the kind of conversation that spirals in the best way possible.
