My Gynecologist Dr. Stephanie McClellan Answers Our Questions &…

My Gynecologist Dr. Stephanie McClellan
Answers Our Questions
& Some Will Surprise You!

Welcome back to a very special episode of Loving Later Life!

Today, I have an incredibly special guest joining us! My Gynecologist Dr. Stephanie McClellan published author, advocator and creator of innovative care models for women answers our questions! 

Dr. McClellan has a 30+ year career as a practicing, board certified OBGYN advocating and caring for the needs of women while integrating the world of research and academia with frontline care delivery.

Trained at the University of Southern California, she quickly began creating innovative care models for women as she founded the Doctor’s Office for Women in Orange County, CA in 1987. Dr. McClellan practiced in this setting for 17 years, before starting another private practice bearing her name in 2004.

As a result of the success of the Doctor’s Office for Women model, she collaborated with Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, CA to design and develop a premier women’s healthcare program.

Her evolving interest in good health and vibrant aging led to co-authoring a book on the science and clinic effects of chronic stress published by Simon & Schuster called “So Stressed: The Ultimate Stress Relief Plan for Women”.

Recently Dr. McClellan served as the Chief Medical Officer of Tia, and the first practicing OB/GYN at Tia’s NYC Clinic — an outpatient gynecology, primary care and wellness practice.

Following Tia she served as Co-Founder and CMO for another growing tech-driven, women’s health start-up, Plenish.

Dr. McClellan continues to see patients in her private practice, while serving as a consultant and Medical Advisor for companies across the country. She is sought-after on both the speaking and consulting circuits for her expertise in women’s health, hormone therapy and menopause.

And, last but not least, she is my very own gynecologist! You are going to learn so much and also be very surprised by some of what she has to say! Let’s get to it!

Not be missed take-ways:

1- Do older women need a Pap smear every year? Some do and some don’t. It depends on many factors. Listen to hear why.

2- Either pick a gynecologist who has integrated thinking and training, or you find an internist who thinks this way because if push comes to shove you’re better off with a smart internist because you can always go to a gynecologist for a Pap smear.

3- The final journey from reproductive hormone levels to post reproductive hormone withdrawal is more than hot flashes.

4- Mood changes, contextual memory changes, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, social phobia, ringing in the ear, weight gain, sleep disturbance, brain fog, and of course hot flashes are some of the symptoms of menopause.

5- One area that has been grossly under-discussed and understudied is the effect of menopause on the microbiome.

6- The less that you eat foods that you don’t make, the better. She’s convinced that much if not nearly all the chronic illnesses that we’re dealing with, centers around a disrupted and malfunctioning micro biome in the gut.

7- Women who are using HRT in their 50’s to early 60’s have a have a lower death rate from all-cause mortality including breast cancer.

8- Women in their early menopause transition should consider hormone therapy unless they have a specific contraindication to using it.

9- The earlier in the menopause transitioning you start HRT, the better. What we don’t know is, is there an end point. Sometimes there is no reason to stop, but instead slowly reduce the dose.

10- Health and vitality foundationally center around social connectedness, friendship and faith. Faith matters. Communing has been shown to have anti-inflammatory messaging from brain to body, it allows for cellular repair, creates a sense of empathy and one with community as opposed to isolation and loneliness.

11- Sleep, following social connectedness, is second most important. Followed by nutrition and exercise. And then, medication.

12- Very few chronic diseases are the result of simple inherited genetics.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

If you have more questions for Dr. McClellan, please send  them to me at nancy@lovinglaterlife.com so that we can have her back to answer them!

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

More on the Golden Bachelor and Nancy’s Not So…

More on the Golden Bachelor
and Nancy’s Not So Golden Dating Updates

Welcome back to the 60th episode of Loving Later Life! 60! And this was recorded hot off the press after the airing of the most recent Golden Bachelor.

But first, before I share the spoiler alert (if you haven’t seen Thursday’s episode be warned!) and my observations about our Golden Guy Gerry and the ladies, I have my own not-so-golden updates to share with you!

The messages, the date that never actually happened because I am strengthening my boundary lines muscles and not tolerating shit I don’t need to tolerate!

All of the above inspired me to share a quote from Brene Brown that ties this all together. 

I hope you’ll come with me!

It’s Not Too Late to Find Your Passion, Cathi…

It’s Not Too Late to Find Your Passion
Cathi Colas Did at Age 53

My special guest in this episode of Loving Later Life is Cathi Colas.

Costco magazine did a cover story on 2nd chapters of life. It was about people, as they said, had one thing in common: a mindset open to opportunity.

Cathi was one of those people featured. So, because I’m a lifelong proponent of the “it never hurts to ask” club, I looked her up and reached out to her asking if she’d join us on Loving Later Life!

I am very happy to report that she said yes. Cathi has done many things in her life but it wasn’t until about 8 years ago that she found what lights her up. And then she made it a reality.

Cathi is a professional Audiobook Narrator, Coach, and Voice Actress. She currently has over 60 audiobooks on Audible that include everything from Self-Help to Horror. She also has many notable voiceover credits on TV and video games.

I hope you’ll join our conversation because you will be inspired by her journey to finally finding her passion and purpose in later life. And then we went even deeper about what keeps us from believing, trying, seeking, and doing anything that may give us joy in this chapter of our lives. Don’t miss this!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Just jump in. Do it messy. Done is better than perfect.

2. Overthinking = Doing nothing.

3. No one really gives a shit unless you affect them.

4. Trust the process. Keep exploring. Stay open.

5. Be aware of the old stories you tell yourself.

6. Your passions may not be what you expect them to be.

7. Don’t be attached to a specific outcome or you could miss other possibilities.

8. Let go of the need to control. We really don’t have any anyway.

9. Stay present. Trust yourself and your knowing.

10. Life changes in the blink of an eye. Don’t wait. Jump in.

11. Stop saying you can’t. You can do it.

 

You can find out more about Cathi at her website: Cathicolas.com

Or hear her podcast of audiobooks she’s narrated episodically at Cathi Colas Audio Books.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

If you are feeling that you haven’t yet found what lights you up, or you want to find a new thing that does, look at it as a fun adventure (which it can be if you let it) and start exploring, and trying new things. Jump. In.

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

First Golden Bachelor Review & Update on My Dating…

First Golden Bachelor Review & Update on My Dating Adventures

With all that is going on in the world right now I was second guessing whether doing an episode on dating and all the comedic aspects of the process is somehow disrespectful or tone deaf.

However, as I thought about it a bit more, I remembered that we can feel sad, we can feel scared, and we can feel joy and still laugh. 

So, this episode is what the title says! My first Golden Bachelor review with some of my thoughts and observations. Then, I have an update for you on a few of the experiences I have had thus far in the dating pond, and the frogs in said pond who I absolutely did not kiss!

If you could use a fun distraction, I hope you’ll join me! And if you know someone who would enjoy this, or any episode, please share!

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

How to Take an Active Role in your Health…

How to Take an Active Role in your Health & Wellness and Become the Heroine of Your Journey

How to Take an Active Role in your Health & Wellness and Become the Heroine of Your Journey?

Dr. Laura Ricci has a doctorate in Physical Therapy. She specializes in women’s health and pelvic floor PT, she’s a National Board Certified health and wellness coach specializing in women’s health and functional nutrition.

She is also a DoTerra (essential oils) wellness advocate with an international team.

In her words, Laura is a wounded healer. She had a rare cancer journey, lots of orthopedic surgeries for adult hip dysplasia, she’s had chronic Lyme disease, a hysterectomy in her 30’s, and various auto immune issues. She went on a journey to heal, and found that when you help others you heal in turn.

Laura reclaimed her health and wellness, found weight training, “became a beast,” and has become the heroine of her journey.

You will learn and be inspired. Please join us and listen in on our conversation. I promise you’ll be glad you did.

Not be missed take-ways:

1- What we learn on our own journey can help others and provide support. Women are here to support each other and let others know you’re not alone.

2- Sometimes we have to let go of things that are weighing us down in order thrive.

3- The only way out of a challenging time is through it. It’s hard in the trenches. Feel the feels and you get stronger going through it.

4- Essential oils aren’t a magic bullet for pain, but it can be a tool that’s safe to help support you. Can be used topically, aromatically, and (some) internally.

5- Not all essential oils are the same. There is no government agency that’s regulating quality and purity. Run away from mall, the health food store etc. They can cause more harm than good.

6- DoTerra is what she knows and trusts because of the quality, the purity and the testing.

7- Basic helpful oils to start with: lemon, lavender, peppermint and frankincense. (Listen to hear why!)

8- DoTerra oils are not in the store. You get a person to help guide you.

9- Take an active role in your health and wellness. Pull in an integrative team: nutritionist, personal trainer, doctor, functional medical doctor. You know your body better than anyone else. It is a partnership.

10- Tune in and listen to your intuition. That is the guiding light to your healing. Trust yourself. You know the next right step.

11- Getting older is a gift.

12- Take risks, face your fears. Practice self-care, it’s essential to your health and wellness. Do what you love. Stop doing things you hate. Stop being with people that suck your energy dry.

13- Start lifting weights. It’s not too late. You get strong and it will transform your life, mindset, and confidence. With self-discipline and keeping commitments to yourself, you build self -trust and self-confidence which is the highest form of self-love.

You can find Laura on social media: @drlauraricci

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Become an advocate for your health and wellness. Start with one thing. Take that first step to feeling better and stronger. You’ve got this!

LOVING LATER LIFE IS BACK… FROM THE COUCH WITH…

LOVING LATER LIFE IS BACK FROM THE COUCH WITH COVID AND NEW NEWS!

Welcome back to Loving Later Life! This is the first episode after the first ever break after 53 episodes.

This was not the episode I had already recorded and planned to drop on this the first Monday of September 2023.

What happened? I got Covid. This was my first experience with this virus, and it was not fun. However, while I was down for the Covid count, I was inspired by an older movie I was watching and picked up my phone to record what was resonating with me and how it relates to later life.

I also share with you some news regarding Loving Later Life moving forward, so I hope you will listen. I thank you for being here, for listening, sharing, for your ratings and reviews. If you haven’t yet, please do so?!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Regrets are a waste of time. They’re the past crippling you in the present.

2. Create the circumstances for the life you want to have before you have it so that it has a chance to happen. Keep the gates open to welcome in the possibilities for what you want to happen.

3. When you keep the gates closed, they don’t protect you from hurt, they prevent what you want from entering your life.

4. Trust yourself. Your happiness and your health depend on you.

5. No matter what happens keep your childishness.

6. Unthinkably good things can happen even late in the game. I’s such a surprise.

7. Join the new Loving Later Life private Facebook Group for women 50+ called Loving Later Life Listener Community!

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) Take any of the above that you feel you want to improve upon and start taking baby steps toward doing so.

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

Loving Later Life Special 1 Year Anniversary Episode!

Loving Later Life
Special 1 Year Anniversary Episode!

Hello Loving Later Life family. Before I tell you about this very special episode in more detail, I must tell you if you don’t already know, that today, is a milestone day. Today is June 26th, 2023, and on June 27th 2022, Loving Later Life’s first official episode was born, making this the official one year anniversary of Loving Later Life!! I suppose this could be a very good excuse for a cake, yes?!

Well, the gestation for this baby took a lot longer than 9 months. If you haven’t listened to the very first full episode, I hope you will go back and do so as I share the story of its conception leading up to the date of birth. Click here to listen!

Cranking out one episode a week has been so much fun, and pretty intense. You may or may not know that I am a one woman band including writing, recording, editing for sound, sound effects (that episode # 12 was fun to create),… creating a page for each episode on the website: https://nancylanggibbs.com/shownotes/ , submitting it all to the podcast hosting platform, creating visuals to promote each episode, the weekly email and more. 

On this anniversary day I am cognizant of walking the walk and taking moments to acknowledge my accomplishments without diminishing them by focusing on what could have been better or different. (But you know I’m going to go there for a second!) In my wildest dreams I wanted each episode Loving Later Life to be in thousands of listeners ears by this time, with wanna-be-Loving Later Life sponsors blowing up my phone. I should insert a record scratch sound effect here, because that didn’t happen…yet!

If I had to grade myself tho, I’d say that I did what I set out to do as far as sharing my experiences, talking with experts, and amazing women telling their compelling stories. And I hope that you have felt heard, understood, valued and connected.

The part I intend to continue to grow is the creating a safe place where we can connect, ask questions, get answers and feel inspired, part.

What do I mean by that? I want to grow this community of women in later life, both virtually and in real life. Or, IRL as they say!

I have some super exciting ideas that I’m working on, and I want to hear yours. What would interest and excite you? Would you like to see in person events, perhaps a monthly or by-monthly virtual way to connect with me and other Later Life listeners where we can share, learn, laugh and grow? What about a trip with fellow Loving Later Life listeners? These are not rhetorical questions. I would greatly appreciate your input.

After all, it has been a year now and you know me pretty well, so this is no time to be shy with your thoughts. Please, write me and let me know if you have ideas and/or interest in any of the above!

We all need community. Feeling a lack of connection with other women, especially at this age, is a recurring sentiment. Those of us with kids know that they have their lives. The landscape of our friends changes as we get older. Help me create this community with your feedback. It takes a village ladies.

When I do episodes myself, I share my thoughts, experiences and stories.

We’ve talked about love, loss, life after loss, and is there life after death. I’ve shared horrifying/funny dating experiences, my personal challenge of singing with a jazz band, pacifying perfectionism, tweaking the Golden Rule, listening with your whole face, talking with our younger selves, being afraid of joy, accepting the help of others, how the stories we tell ourselves are holding us back, getting out of our comfort zone, how setbacks and quitting may not be a bad thing, and so much more.

The episodes with guests have covered topics like reinventing, love stories, death and dying, techniques and insights for better sleep, living with Alzheimer’s, Medicare, finding your superpower, hormone therapy/menopause/libido, real estate, and the value of positive affirmations…on your socks! I talk with a TV Emmy winner NYT best-selling author, a financial advisor, real estate expert, a veteran of the stand-up comedy scene, a CBS Sunday Morning correspondent/ author, anti-ageism activist, America’s premiere dating expert, and yes, my mom!

As you may remember, with each guest, I ask the same 3 questions at the end of each conversation:

1. What for you have been the most rewarding things about getting older?

2. What are some of the most important lessons you have learned in your life.

3. With all that you have learned, what life advice would you pass along?

So, I thought it would be neat for today’s anniversary episode to do a sort of highlight reel of their answers, taking one question at a time. It’s fun to hear similar answers expressed differently, and fascinating to also hear totally different answers.

Putting this together was a lot of fun…for the most part! Anyhow, I hope you’ll listen to them all because these women are smart, insightful, funny, loving, caring humans. And to all you ladies who gave me the honor to speak with you…I must confess, I was humbled by your yes, to being my guest!! I am so very grateful to each and every one of you, and anytime you want to come back and visit Loving Later Life Land, I will welcome you with open arms.

Please listen until my parting words at the end which includes some very important information.

And….I want to thank you Loving Later Life Listeners….for being here not just at the beginning… for showing up with me week after week. While there may not be thousands of you yet, you are my core founding Loving Later Lifers! Without you, I wouldn’t be here and I hope you know how much I appreciate you. And now that we’re at the year mark, let’s move forward together.

Please remember to let me know how the Loving Later Life community can be there for you! What would interest and excite you?

Lastly, while I await your responses, I have decided to take the months of July and August off to regroup. I want to provide the time and space for ideas to perculate, cook and rise up so that I can create more opportunities for us all to love later life. And I hope you’ll add some ingredients into the mix by contacting me with what you’d like to experience.

The next episode of Loving Later Life will drop on Monday, September 4th, Labor Day.

Meanwhile, I’m hoping that if you are new to Loving Later Life, or you need to catch up on some episodes, this will give you time to listen to any of the other 52 episodes while you’re on summer vacation, on a road trip, or just chilling on a nice weekend. And if any of the episodes are helpful for you in any way I’d so appreciate if you would share them. Remember how viral covid became was when it was 1:1. Simply letting one other person know about Loving Later Life and asking them to do the same will help to grow this community of women exponentially.

Thank you so much, and let me hear from you!

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

Jan Kreidman: Taking Risks, Her Love Story, Her Husband’s…

Jan Kreidman: Taking Risks, Her Love Story, Her Husband’s Dementia Diagnosis, and Her Drive to Thrive

Hello and welcome back to Loving Later Life! Everyone listening today is in for a very special treat and her name is Jan Kreidman. 

For those who have been listening to Loving Later Life you know that the episodes will be a combination of my thoughts/stories and experiences, talking with experts, and also brave women telling their compelling stories.

Well today, I am talking with one courageous woman. I knew that her story would be an important one to share with all of you. I also knew that Jan met her husband in later life and not long after he was diagnosed with early dementia.

What I didn’t know is about her incredible journey prior to meeting her beloved Steve. I didn’t know about her contagious outlook on life. Her courageous choices that went against the societal grain, her love for taking risks, for embracing the unknown and ability to embrace the valleys. Her skill in listening to what is right for her even when it meant zigging when she was expected to zag, and how she lives her life with a drive to thrive, feeling all the feelings and not letting anything steal her spirit.

And then there is her love story. Jan didn’t meet Steve until she was 66. And you’ll just have to listen to know how long she had been single prior to that. You’ll also hear about their unique story of how their relationship escalated, and what has happened since they’ve been married. This is not a story that will make you sad. If anything, you just might have a more positive outlook about life’s possibilities.

Please join us. I promise you will be glad you did!!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. All experiences, if you follow them, are the breadcrumbs on the trail that will lead you to the answers of where you are to go.

2. With all your different experiences, you learn that you can make the right decisions. That you can trust yourself. That you can find your way. That you can overcome and handle things, and figure things out.

3. Putting yourself in a situation where you don’t know what you’re going to do can be thrilling.

4. There will be times you don’t feel like taking chances. You need to do that too. Acknowledge it and embrace it.

5. We need to take time and space for ourselves in order to be there for ourselves and for those who need us.

6. Many women think that their time is done, or that they don’t have another chance with love or what they want to do in life. It’s never too late.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Take out a piece of paper if you don’t have a journal and write down this question:

What is something (not dangerous) that you could commit to doing that may feel like it’s taking a chance? And if you feel like it, let me know if you need an accountability partner!

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

What is Happening with the Real Estate Market? Special…

What is Happening with the Real Estate Market?Special Guest Jo Ann Luisi, Senior Real Estate Specialist

Why are we talking about real estate on Loving Later Life? Did you know that women make up the majority of home buyers and the majority of realtors; and that real estate is a subject that affects women more than men?

I wanted to talk with a trusted source about what is happening in the market and why, and what we might expect in the (near) future.

So, I reached out to Jo Ann Luisi, ….. Jo Ann is an East Bay native and Bay Area realtor with over 20 years of experience. With her extensive expertise in the real estate industry Jo Ann has become an invaluable resource for countless clients, especially seniors transitioning to new chapters in their lives. Her dedication to helping seniors extends far beyond the transaction itself. She understands the unique needs and desires of this demographic and genuinely cares about their well-being.
