Your goal is to help me calculate my current maintenance calories, my total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), and my ideal calorie and macronutrient targets to lose an average of 2 pounds per week while maintaining lean muscle.

So many women have messaged Chalene privately about her facelift, and this episode dives into exactly why she decided to be open about it — and what's surprised her most about people's reactions. From there, she takes a sharp turn into a true crime documentary that's been haunting her ever since she watched it: the story of actress Eva LaRue and her long-time stalker. Chalene breaks down the case like only she can, with a mix of compassion, disbelief, and questions no one else seems to be asking. It's part personal update, part pop culture analysis, and 100% unfiltered Chalene.   🔥 Join Chalene on Patreon  for all the "age-affirming" surgery Updates  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🧐 Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/   What You Will Learn Why many women hide cosmetic procedures What Chalene's transparency actually sparked online The beauty and weight loss details influencers skip Key gaps in the Eva LaRue stalker doc Ways public figures accidentally reduce their own safety How media framing can distort victim stories Chalene's brief stalker experience and takeaways   Show Sponsors: OneSkin OS-01 Body lotion http://chalene.com/lotion  and use Code Chalene at Checkout Smart Creatine+ by BrainMD Optimize your brain and body http://chalene.com/creatine Sleep Breakthrough: visit https://chalene.com/sleep to get your special discoun use code CHALENE at checkout     🎉Camp Be More 2026!!

Recorded while hiking through Northern Michigan this past Patreon episode is pure family chaos and nostalgia. Chalene and Bret swap stories about wakeboarding delays, indecisive dinner plans, and the perfectly unorganized rhythm of Chalene's family at Hubbard Lake. Chalene also shares how her sister met her now-husband at 12, plus the wild chapter when their family bought a ski lodge and turned it into a restaurant, complete with a sous chef who got arrested mid-shift. Between laughs, they reflect on how the environment shapes health, how Gen X freedom compares to Gen Z's screen life, and why parasocial friendships can feel so comforting. It's funny, unfiltered, and very Michigan.   🚨 Join Chalene LIVE for Thriving after 30: A Live Masterclass to Reclaim Your Body, Confidence & Energy http://phaseitup.com/thrive   🎯Join Chalene on Patreon for 7 Days FREE  👉 http://chalene.com/more   💥 Book your virtual Age Well Appointment today with MIDI Health!!  http://chalene.com/MIDI   💡What You Will Learn Why every "go with the flow" family needs a planner How where you grow up shapes who you become The ski lodge story that ended in an arrest What Gen X understood about real connection Why online friendships can feel so real   🤓 Check out the Book: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt   https://amzn.to/4h14bYA   🎯 Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Some days, you just wake up in a mood and instead of forcing yourself into gratitude, maybe you should lean into it. In this episode, Chalene shares why she gave herself permission to stay cranky, the oddly satisfying art of not taking the high road, and what happens when you stop over-filtering your opinions online. From internet trolls to the echo chambers shaping our beliefs, she's calling out why we all feel the need to add disclaimers to everything we say (and why it's exhausting). Plus, you'll get a hilarious reality TV recommendation you didn't know you needed, and a sneak peek into her upcoming deep dive on the GLP-1 craze. 🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE  👉 http://chalene.com/more   💥Related Links: The THC Drink Nowadays 👉 https://trynowadays.com/ McBee Dynasty Reality TV series  👉Streaming on Peacock and other streaming Platforms   🎯Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Let’s be honest. Losing belly fat in midlife isn’t about cutting carbs or working out harder. In this  episode Chalene Johnson breaks down what actually works and what doesn’t when it comes to stubborn menopausal and perimenopausal belly fat. If you feel stuck, bloated, or frustrated despite doing everything right, there’s a reason. Hormonal shifts and changes in metabolism make old strategies less effective. You’ll learn two different approaches—one that’s realistic and sustainable, and one for when you’re ready to go all in. Plus, the supplements, workouts, and daily habits that helped Chalene see real results.

Chalene opens up about something many women experience but rarely talk about—feeling invisible. From landing in LA and instantly feeling dismissed to noticing how differently she’s treated in Miami, she shares raw thoughts on aging, identity, and how society responds to women based on appearance. This episode dives into the psychological toll of losing external validation, especially for women in midlife, and why it’s not about vanity—it’s about identity. Plus, Chalene and Bret get real about keeping passion and excitement alive in long-term monogamy, including insights from therapist Esther Perel that will make you rethink how desire works.    What You’ll Learn: Why some women feel invisible as they age—and why it’s deeper than looks The unexpected link between your environment and your self-worth How social privilege plays into perceived value (pretty, thin, white, etc.) Why long-term couples struggle with desire (even when love is strong) Practical tips inspired by Esther Perel on reigniting spark in a committed relationship 🎯 Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!    👉http://chalene.com/more   🧠 Get your daily dose of brain-boosting nutrients in just one scoop with Bright Minds! 👉 https://chalene.com/memory   💥 Try Sleep Breakthrough: visit https://chalene.com/sleep to get your special discount and free gifts with link when you use code CHALENE at checkout   🫒 Go to GetFresh326.com to get your full size bottle of  Fresh Pressed Olive Oil for only $1 but hurry the offer ends soon!!   💥 Related Links: Mating In Captivity by Esther Perel 👉https://amzn.to/45ChUAW Avo Miami Healthy Food 👉https://www.avo-miami.com/     Join the PodSquad on Facebook! 👉https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChalenePodSquad     Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/     💪🏼 Join the all-new Phase It!!

Most people assume creatine is only for bodybuilders, but new research is challenging that belief. In this episode, Chalene dives into the surprising, science-backed benefits of creatine for women, particularly those in midlife. From brain health and bone density to hormonal support and cognitive function, this supplement might be one of the most underrated tools for aging powerfully. She also busts common myths like weight gain and bloating, and explains why some experts are calling it "the magnesium of 2025." If you're curious about how to take it, which brands are trustworthy, and how to avoid getting scammed, this episode lays it all out.

Ever feel like you're living with someone who’s always running late, forgetting things, or totally oblivious to how much time has passed? Or maybe you're that person? In this episode, we’re breaking down time blindness—a real, brain-based struggle that affects people with ADHD, whether they’ve been diagnosed or not. Chalene opens up about what it’s like to live with ADHD as an adult and how it’s impacted her marriage, parenting, and those always-chaotic travel days. You’ll hear expert insights from Dr. Russell Barkley and personal stories from both Chalene and Bret, who also shares his hilarious (and brutally honest) rebuttal about what it’s really like to travel with someone who has time blindness. Whether you’re team “why can’t you be on time?!” or team “I swear I’m trying,” this episode is full of lightbulb moments, laughs, and a whole lot of validation.   🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!    👉http://chalene.com/more   Join the PodSquad on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChalenePodSquad   Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/   💪🏼Join the all-new Phase It!!

If your knees are feeling stiff, crunchy, or just not doing what they used to — you are not alone. In this episode, Chalene Johnson keeps it real and breaks down why your knees might be acting up (and yep, it's probably not actually your knees). She's talking hormones, tight hips, sleepy glutes, bad shoes — all the sneaky stuff no one tells you is connected. Plus, Chalene shares exactly what she's been doing to feel stronger, more mobile, and basically better than she did in her 30s. If you've been thinking "I guess this is just what happens with age" — hit play, because that's a lie we're not buying.
