Ten years ago Alison Wayne measured health by the bathroom scale and a nightly glass of wine.
Today the 55-year-old mom of three rings PR bells, sleeps migraine-free and wears two sizes smaller while weighing 20 lbs more.
Host Todd Vande Hei digs into the mindset shifts, nutrition hacks and family dynamics that rewrote Alison’s future — and why she now sees her 50s as the launchpad, not the slowdown.
Key Points
- Reactive → Proactive health – why “not sick” isn’t “healthy.”
- Protein as Nature’s Ozempic – 30 g ➜ 130 g and the thermic edge.
- Muscle > Scale – heavier, leaner, stronger (and the longevity glutes).
- Seed-cycling & HRT – clearing perimenopause migraines without meds.
- Quitting SSRIs – the three-week “dark tunnel” and how she emerged.
- Family Flywheel – turning soda-drinking sons into macro-tracking gym partners.
- Orthopedic Wins – rehabbing rotator cuff, ACL & foot fracture surgery-free.
- Ritual Swaps – wine → walks, coffee → steps, lasagna → sweet potatoes.
- Women & Heavy Weights – confidence, community and ringing the PR bell.
- Healthspan vs Lifespan – designing a life that feels better every decade.
