Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique Sachse

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with one of the leading minds in longevity science to unpack one of the most talked-about molecules in aging today: NAD. We’ve all heard the buzz, but what is NAD, and why does it matter so much as we age? From energy and brain function to hormones, skin, and metabolism, this powerful molecule plays a critical role in how our bodies function and declines significantly after our 30s. Dr. Andrew Salzman breaks down the science in a way that actually makes sense, helping us understand what’s really happening inside our cells and how it impacts aging, menopause, and overall vitality. We also dive into the connection between NAD, inflammation, the microbiome, and cellular energy, and what we can do to better support our bodies as we move through life. Dr. Andrew Salzman is a Harvard-educated physician and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery. He has published over 170 clinical studies, holds more than 50 patents, and is known for pioneering work in NAD biology, DNA repair, and longevity science. He currently serves as Chief Medical Officer at Wonderfeel, where he focuses on developing science-backed solutions for healthy aging.

In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Dr. Maria Sophocles for a conversation about sex, menopause, and the changes that can impact intimacy in midlife. Dr. Maria Sophocles is a menopause expert, pioneering gynecologist, TED speaker, and passionate advocate for women’s sexual health. Known for her candid, no-shame approach, she’s helping women reclaim their right to pleasure and better understand the physical, emotional, and societal factors that shape intimacy as we age. Her book The Bedroom Gap explores the disconnect between partners’ expectations and experiences, and offers a new framework for improving communication, desire, and connection. We talk about why so many women feel unprepared for the changes that come with menopause, the truth behind low libido and painful sex, and how hormones, culture, and misinformation have shaped our understanding of intimacy. Dr. Sophocles breaks down the real, practical solutions, from vaginal estrogen and testosterone to simple shifts like scheduling connection and improving communication with your partner.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by Courtney for a candid and thoughtful conversation that starts with hair but quickly becomes something much deeper: identity, confidence, and the courage to embrace change. Together, we explore why something as simple as a hairstyle can carry so much meaning, and how many women tie their sense of self to how they look. From my own experiences with hair transformations to our reflections on fear, judgment, and self-worth, we talk about what it really means to step outside of your comfort zone and redefine beauty on your own terms. We discuss the pressure to stay the same, the freedom that comes with evolving, and how even small changes can spark personal growth. This episode is an honest look at the emotional layers behind change, and a reminder that embracing it can lead you closer to your most authentic and confident self. 🎟️ Don’t miss your chance to experience the Behind the Curtain tour LIVE!

In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Gabby Reece for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and what it really means to live strong. Gabby Reece is a former professional beach volleyball player, Nike’s first female signature athlete, and a wellness entrepreneur who has spent decades helping women redefine strength beyond performance. From a childhood marked by instability to building a life rooted in discipline, purpose, and authenticity, Gabby brings both lived experience and hard-earned wisdom to the conversation. We talk about letting go of guilt and learning to prioritize your own wellbeing, the identity shifts that come with motherhood, and how to maintain a sense of self while raising children. We also explore setting boundaries with family, redefining strength through femininity and emotional awareness, navigating long-term relationships with honesty and respect, and why taking care of yourself first is essential, not selfish.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow. Many of you may know him from hit TV shows like The Swan and Botched, and today he joined me to discuss the future of aging, from GLP-1 medications and biohacking to the biggest misconceptions about plastic surgery and what actually helps us look and feel our best as we get older.  We dive into everything from facelifts and filler fatigue to why so many procedures go wrong, and what truly makes someone look refreshed rather than overdone. But this conversation goes far beyond aesthetics, we also unpack the explosive role of AI in healthcare, the concept of longevity “escape velocity,” and what it really means to preserve your body so you can take advantage of what’s coming next in medicine.

In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Erin Washington for a conversation about diet culture, perfectionism, and identity. Erin Washington is a former Division I soccer player whose identity was rooted in athletics from the age of four. After her college career ended abruptly, she spent twenty years battling body image struggles and hiding a painful secret before ultimately committing to healing and sharing her story in her book From Pain to Purpose. We talk about the pressure to achieve, the connection between being the “good girl” or oldest daughter and perfectionism, and how so many high-performing women quietly tied their worth to their bodies. We also explore listening to your hunger cues after years of restriction, the role of stress and cortisol in midlife, modeling confidence for our daughters, navigating divorce after finding purpose later in life, and why growth can sometimes change a marriage. If you or anyone you know is struggling with an eating disorder or disordered eating, you’re not alone. Visit findedhelp.com or call ANAD’s free helpline at 888-375-7767 for more information.

In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with attachment theory expert Thais Gibson for a powerful conversation about love, trauma, and the patterns that shape our relationships. Thais Gibson, PhD, is a relationship expert and the creator of Integrated Attachment Theory, a framework designed to help people understand and heal attachment patterns at their root.  We break down the four attachment styles and how they influence everything from marriage to friendships to the way we see ourselves. We also talk about the connection between attachment and rising divorce rates, how modern parenting may be shifting attachment styles, and how conditioning is not just from childhood.  Thais explains how you can rewire 40, 50, even 60 years of trauma through simple daily practices that regulate your nervous system and heal core wounds.   Resources: Visit university.personaldevelopmentschool.com and use code PDS2026 for 20% off the Personal Development School’s 90-Day Attachment Healing membership.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with Susan Holmes McKagan for a conversation about reinvention, courage, and playing the long game. After a successful career as a 90s supermodel, Susan pivoted in her late 40s and enrolled in Harvard Graduate School to deepen and refine her craft as a writer. She shares what inspired that decision, what it felt like to be older than many of her classmates, and how the academic rigor sharpened her writing and strengthened her discipline. We also talk about her nearly 27-year marriage to Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses. How they met on a blind date, what keeps their relationship strong, and what it was really like raising two daughters while navigating life on tour. Susan offers an honest look at the pros and challenges of being married in the rock and roll world and why longevity in love, just like career, requires intention and growth. In this episode, we discuss: Why Susan chose to go to Harvard Graduate School in her 40s after a successful modeling career What it felt like to be the outlier in the classroom How her writing sharpened and evolved after graduate school How she met Duff McKagan and built a lasting marriage in rock and roll What tour life was like while raising a family The importance of taking leaps of faith at any age Why following your passion matters more than playing it safe How benefiting from the long game leads to lasting success For more on Susan Holmes McKagan, follow her on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanholmesmckagan/?hl=en  Twitter/X: https://x.com/SuHolmesMcKagan  Susan’s book, The Velvet Rose: https://a.co/d/0cZfZwW8  Three Chords & The Truth: https://duffmckagan.com/radio-show/  Thanks to my Sponsors: Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50  Hers: If you want clearer insight into your health, go to https://ForHers.com and schedule your labs Audible: Go to Audible.com/BigAgeSeries to start listening today Honeylove: Save 20% off Honeylove at Honeylove.com/OVER50  Manukora: Head to Manukora.com/FLOURISHING to save up to 31% plus $25 worth of free gifts Bloom Nutrition: Go to bloomnu.com and use code OVER50 for 20% off your first order.  Keep in Touch: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/ Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=en YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetv Have a question for Dominique?

What happens when you stop caring what people think after 60? In this candid, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Lisa Arce (@kitchenkillalisa), the bold and unfiltered voice behind the viral videos that say what so many women are thinking but won’t say out loud. After being fired at 61, Lisa did not retreat. She reinvented. What began as off-the-cuff social media posts turned into a thriving online presence, brand opportunities, and a loyal audience drawn to her sharp humor, honest storytelling, and unapologetic perspective on real life and modern culture. In this episode, you will also meet the woman behind the persona, shaped by resilience, complicated family dynamics, loss, love, and a refusal to shrink with age. In this episode, we discuss: What it felt like to be fired at 61 and why it turned out to be a gift Reinventing yourself later in life and building something new online Making money on social media in your 60s Aging without apology, including Botox, gray hair, and the judgment women place on each other Why women over 50 are still competing instead of supporting one another Divorce, loss, and reconnecting with a past love decades later Learning to stop caring what people think Finding freedom and confidence in your 60s For more on Lisa Arce, follow her on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitchenkillalisa/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Kitchenkillalisa-61575239068280/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehangryitalian  Substack: https://kitchenkillalisa.substack.com/  Thanks to my Sponsors: Brickhouse Nutrition: Visit TONETODAY.com and use promo code FLOURISHING for 20% off your first order.  Osea: Get 10% off your first order sitewide with code FLOURISHING at OSEAMalibu.com Hero Bread: Go to hero.co and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for 10% off your order.  Brodo: Head to Brodo.com/FLOURISHING for 20% off your first subscription order and use code FLOURISHING for an additional $10 off.  O Positiv: Head to OPositiv.com/FLOURISHING or enter FLOURISHING at checkout for 25% off your first purchase.  Caraway: Visit Carawayhome.com/OVER or use code OVER at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.  Fora Travel: Become a Fora Advisor today at Foratravel.com/flourishing  Keep in Touch: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/ Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=en YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetv Have a question for Dominique?

In this Q&A episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m answering the questions you sent in about aging well, from skincare and aesthetic treatments to wellness, career pivots, and the life changes that shape how we care for ourselves. Drawing from your questions, this conversation reflects on what’s actually helping, what’s changed over time, and how experience informs the choices we make now. From skincare routines, microneedling, and Sculptra, to advocating for your health, navigating menopause and energy changes, processing grief, deepening faith, and maintaining connection in marriage, this episode explores the growth, challenges, and joy that come with different seasons of life.

In this special Valentine’s Day episode, I sit down with my husband, Vic. Together, we reflect on the beauty of second chances, the hard seasons that shaped us, and why Valentine’s Day can be both a joyful celebration and a difficult reminder for so many. We talk about the myths surrounding romance, the pressure society places on this holiday, and how love is so much bigger than chocolates, flowers, or date nights. With humor, tenderness, faith, and real-life perspective, Vic and I share the lessons we’ve learned through heartbreak, healing, and God’s perfect timing. In this episode, we cover: Why Valentine’s Day can feel painful or complicated for many How to reframe the holiday around giving, gratitude, and love beyond romance The power of second chances and God’s timing in relationships Why the only thing worse than being alone is being with the wrong person The importance of honesty, growth, and letting go of perfection What we’ve learned from past mistakes, loss, and uncomfortable “yeses” How faith became the foundation of our marriage Why every day can be an opportunity to love someone well Have a question for Dominique?

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by dating and relationship coach Laurie Gerber, host of the Love at Any Age podcast and a longtime friend of the show, for a timely conversation about love, connection, and reclaiming Valentine’s Day at any stage of life. Together, we unpack why Valentine’s Day can bring so much pressure and disappointment, how unspoken expectations quietly erode intimacy, and what it really takes to feel seen, heard, and cherished in relationships.  In this episode, we discuss: Why Valentine’s Day triggers pressure, comparison, and resentment, and how to reclaim it How unspoken expectations sabotage intimacy in long-term relationships The power of listening (and why feeling heard changes everything) Why love doesn’t “just happen” and how to design it intentionally How to communicate desires without guilt, testing, or mind-reading Practical ways to create connection (whether you’re single or partnered) The types of dates that can reignite passion, play, and closeness at any age Why midlife is a powerful time to redefine romance on your own terms For more on Laurie Gerber, follow her on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lauriegerberdatingcoach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauriegerber_coach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriegerber YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lauriegerbercoach Listen to her podcast, Love At Any Age: https://lauriegerbercoach.podbean.com/ Sign up for her FREE webinar ‘3 Secrets to Finding and Maintaining Healthy Love without Repeated Disappointments: https://www.lauriegerber.com/webinar  Thanks to my Sponsors: Wildgrain: Visit Wildgrain.com/FLOURISHING or use promo code FLOURISHING at checkout for $30 off your first box and free croissants for life Honeylove: Save 20% off Honeylove by going to honeylove.com/OVER50  #honeylovepod Hers: If you want clearer insight into your health, go to ForHers.com and schedule your labs.  Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 Brodo: Head to Brodo.com/FLOURISHING for 20% off your first subscription order and use code FLOURISHING for an additional $10 off.

Raising teens in a digital world can feel overwhelming, especially when you didn’t grow up with social media yourself. In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by Antigone Davis, Meta’s Vice President and Global Head of Safety, for an important and reassuring conversation about teen safety, social media, and what parents and grandparents need to know in today’s digital world. Antigone has spent her career focused on protecting children and young people. With a background in education and law, she now leads global safety efforts at Meta, working with experts, NGOs, and policymakers to create safer online experiences for teens and families. Together, we talk honestly about the challenges parents face raising teens in a world of social media, smartphones, and AI. Antigone breaks down Meta’s teen safety tools, including built-in guardrails, parental supervision, time limits, and age-appropriate content, and explains how they are designed to support both connection and wellbeing. We also explore why teens may actually welcome boundaries more than we expect and how parents can start these conversations with confidence. In this episode, we discuss: How teen accounts work on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger What the new 13+ content experience means for parents How parental supervision tools help without invading privacy Managing screen time, sleep, and late-night scrolling Social media’s impact on teen mental health What parents should know about AI and online safety How to create healthy digital boundaries through communication, not control Resources: For access to more helpful tools and expert guidance, parents can visit https://familycenter.meta.com Instagram Teen Accounts - now guided by PG-13 movie ratings - are designed to give parents peace of mind that their teens are safer with the right protections in place.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by Dr. Will Cole, New York Times bestselling author, leading functional medicine expert, and host of The Art of Being Well podcast, for a powerful conversation about what’s really driving many of the health challenges we face in midlife. Dr. Cole is one of the nation’s top functional and integrative doctors and the founder of the world’s first functional medicine telehealth centers. He works with patients around the globe, specializing in uncovering the root causes of chronic issues like inflammation, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain health concerns. Together, we explore why inflammation lies at the heart of so many chronic conditions, how stress and unresolved trauma impact the body, and the practical lifestyle changes that support lasting health and vitality. In this episode, we discuss: What inflammation really is and why it’s behind so many health issues The gut–brain connection and its role in hormones and immunity Why functional medicine focuses on root causes, not symptoms The foods and lifestyle habits that fuel (or fight) inflammation How chronic stress and trauma show up in the body Why midlife is a powerful time to reclaim your health How to make sustainable changes without extremes For more on Dr. Will Cole, follow him on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwillcole/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorwillcole/  Website: https://drwillcole.com/  Listen to his podcast The Art of Being Well: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-art-of-being-well/id1539535133  Thanks to my Sponsors: Bloom: Go to bloom.com and use code OVER50 for 20% off your first order.  Brickhouse Nutrition: Visit ToneToday.com and use code FLOURISHING for 20% off your first order Hero Bread: Go to hero.co and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for 10% off your order OneSkin: Get 15% off OneSkin with code FLOURISHING at www.oneskin.co/FLOURISHING #oneskinpod O Positiv: Head to OPositiv.co/FLOURISHING or enter FLOURISHING at checkout for 25% off your first purchase.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz, bestselling author, thought leader, and one of the most trusted voices in women’s health, for a powerful conversation about what really happens to us in midlife. Dr. Mindy isn’t just talking about menopause as a hormonal shift, but as a profound transformation of the brain, body, and identity. From burnout and people-pleasing to leadership and self-trust, this conversation reframes midlife not as a breakdown, but as a breakthrough. This episode is about reclaiming the girl within you, her curiosity, her wisdom, her strength, and learning how to age like a girl with intention, science, and self-compassion. In this episode, we discuss: Why menopause is a neurological rewiring, not just a drop in estrogen How the loss of estrogen impacts mood, motivation, memory, and identity The “people-pleasing” brain and why women stop caring so much after 50 Why midlife burnout is often a signal of transformation, not failure The science behind fasting, ketones, and brain health in postmenopausal women How exercise needs to change in menopause, and why more isn’t always better The role of muscle, creatine, collagen, and movement in aging well Why women are biologically wired for leadership in the second half of life The butterfly metaphor for midlife transformation and becoming who you truly are How to advocate for yourself with doctors and build a healthcare team that listens Why involving partners in the menopause conversation matters more than we think For more on Dr. Mindy Pelz, follow her on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz  Website: https://www.drmindypelz.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/drmindypelz  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drmindypelz  Buy her newest book Age Like a Girl: https://a.co/d/hDptHZz  Thanks to my Sponsors: Ritual: For a limited time, save 40% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50  Honeylove: Use our exclusive link to save 20% off Honeylove at honeylove.com/OVER50  Hero Bread: Go to hero.co and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for 10% off your order.

In this New Year episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m taking time to pause, reflect, and step intentionally into what a new year can mean at midlife.  Using insights from a community poll, I share what you told me you’re feeling as we enter 2026, your hopes, your hesitations, your goals around health, peace, faith, and personal growth, and I reflect honestly on where I find myself in this season of life as well. From strength and wellness, to faith, purpose, boundaries, and letting go of stress and negative self-talk, this conversation is about real life, real bodies, and real growth. In this episode, we cover: The difference between New Year’s resolutions and intentions, and why the shift matters What midlife women say they want more of (and less of) in the year ahead Why health, strength, and peace are top priorities at this stage of life Honest conversations around weight, wellness trends, and sustainability The role of faith, purpose, and reflection in personal growth How to plan for change without adding stress or pressure Why grace, flexibility, and self-compassion are essential for lasting progress What it really means to reset at midlife: emotionally, physically, and spiritually Have a question for Dominique?

In this episode, we cover: The big moments and milestones that defined our year The personal growth we didn’t expect and how it shaped us The behind-the-scenes realities of building a life, a business & a community What surprised us most, and what challenged us the most The boundaries, balance, and boldness we practiced (or struggled with) The beauty of connection, servitude, and purpose in the work we do The messages from YOU that moved us deeply What we’re letting go of (and what we’re stepping into) in the New Year Have a question for Dominique?

In this Christmas special, I sit down with my husband, Vic, for a warm, intimate, and meaningful conversation about the true heart of the holiday season. Together, we reflect on childhood Christmas memories, family traditions, faith, the pressure many feel around the holidays, and how our own views of Christmas have evolved as we’ve grown, blended our families, and navigated life’s changing seasons. With stories that are both tender and hilarious (including childhood Christmas mischief!), this episode brings together nostalgia, simplicity, spiritual reflection, and the reminder that the greatest gifts aren’t found under the tree, they’re found in the people we love and the moments we cherish. In this episode, we cover: The childhood traditions and Christmas memories that shaped us The pressure many feel to “recreate” perfect holidays, and why you don’t have to The gifts that truly matter and the beauty of handmade, heartfelt giving The deeper meaning of Christmas through faith and family How the holiday changes as our families grow, shift, and age Why simplicity, gratitude, and presence mean more than ever What we’re wishing for (and praying for) this Christmas Have a question for Dominique?

In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Baldino, the woman behind Shop With Caroline and a voice many women connect with. From her early years around Univision to the intense world of Spanish soap operas, Caroline has lived a life of constant change. Through motherhood, marriage, and losing her sense of self, she shares how she found her way back through small daily rituals and honesty. This conversation isn’t about fashion alone, it’s about identity, resilience, and what it looks like to rebuild yourself in midlife with clarity and faith. In this episode, we discuss: How Caroline went from soap opera actress to building a thriving business on social media in her late 40s The emotional toll of motherhood, marriage, and feeling lost after two kids under two Her candid experience with perimenopause, weight gain, anxiety, and finding strength again Why “getting up and getting dressed” became her lifeline and signature philosophy How childhood chaos and her parents’ complicated marriage shaped her identity The green flags she looked for in a partner — and how she manifested the love of her life What women don’t talk about enough when it comes to marriage, resentment, and midlife expectations How faith, gratitude, and daily rituals anchor her through life’s toughest seasons The deeper meaning behind her maximalist jewelry and why it became her emotional armor Why women in midlife are craving realness, connection, sisterhood, and permission to reinvent themselves For more on Caroline Baudino, follow her on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shop.with.caroline  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caroline.barbabaudino/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shop.with.caroline  Listen to her podcast Coming In Hot: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coming-in-hot/id1741025547  Thanks to my Sponsors: Gruns: Get up to 52% off with code flourishing at gruns.co  Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/FLOURISHING with promo code FLOURISHING O Positive: Head to OPositive.com/flourishing or enter FLOURISHING at checkout for 25% off your first purchase Clean Simple Eats: Visit https://glnk.io/73q00/dominique and use code FLOURISHING20 at checkout for 20% off your first order The Real Real: Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to TheRealReal.com/over50  Storyworth: Save $10 of more during their Holiday sale when you go to Storyworth.com/FLOURISHING  Keep in Touch: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/ Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=en YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetv Have a question for Dominique?
