Summary

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.

Hey, before we get too far, I know I've talked a lot about the supplements that I take in powder form.

0:06.3

There's a lot of them.

0:07.6

And there's, of course, the things I take in capsule form.

0:10.8

But I also take a few things in gummy form.

0:14.6

And one of the things that I started taking about a year ago, actually, when we were in Europe last year, is saffron. And I started taking it

0:22.2

because I heard about quite a few studies that demonstrated that saffron made significant improvements

0:31.4

in people's, their ability to reduce their anxiety, to feel more relaxed, to have mental clarity. And of course, that's going to

0:41.1

improve your sleep, right? Because that's one of the main reasons why so many of us struggle to

0:46.6

sleep and now you lay down and your brain just doesn't stop spinning. So anyways, I looked into it.

0:52.2

You know me. I love to see a good study and there's been a ton of

0:55.4

them. In fact, April through July 2025, this is brand new, a randomized, double blind,

1:04.1

placebo-controlled study looking at the impact of taking saffron daily for just three months.

1:13.0

And the results I can tell you were pretty astonishing.

1:16.1

A marked decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress.

1:20.6

72.3% of the participants in the saffron group achieved significant improvements on their mental state.

1:29.6

So talking about having less anxiety.

1:32.1

And, of course, that I think is one of the reasons why it contributes to fewer sleep

1:36.2

disturbances for those especially who are taking the saffron.

1:39.6

So listen, I'm definitely not telling you to go off your SSRIs.

1:43.0

And if you're on an antidepressant, that's awesome.

1:45.9

But if you're one of those people who you've been thinking like, I don't know, I don't know what it is, I just, I don't feel as happy as I usually am, or I just feel kind of me. You know what I'm talking about. You can't put your finger on it, but you're like, I'm just not as happy. or maybe I'm dealing with more anxiety or things are bugging me more than they usually do.

2:03.5

You've heard me talk about Organify for years. And Organify
