Beauty Backroads

In this episode, I’m talking about perimenopause belly fat, broken sleep, brain fog, and some of the simple things that have been helping me feel better.I share my thoughts on calorie tracking, protein, cognitive ease with food, blood sugar at night, intermittent fasting, castor oil, and sleep support like creatine. This is not medical advice, just an honest conversation about what may help during this season of life and I hope it helps you, too.

In this episode, we’re talking about Botox — what it is, what it was originally created for, when it started being used for wrinkles, and the risks many people say aren’t discussed enough. From its medical origins in treating eye disorders to concerns about Botox side effects and possible Botox poisoning, this conversation is designed to inform, not judge. If you want a clearer understanding of Botox history, Botox risks, and what to consider before cosmetic injections, this episode will help you look at the full picture.

If you’ve been feeling off, experiencing things like low energy, brain fog, breathlessness, dry skin, dry eyes, or just not quite yourself—iron could be part of the story.In this episode of Beauty Backroads, I’m sharing real-life iron insights I wish I’d known sooner. We’re talking about the often-overlooked signs of low iron, what can quietly block iron absorption, what vitamin you should take with iron and a wacky symptom that truly surprised me along the way.I’m also revealing a surprising food that provides 50% of your daily iron needs—and no, it’s not the one everyone always talks about.This is a calm, informative, no-alarm conversation meant to help you feel more informed and empowered—not overwhelmed. As always, this isn’t medical advice, but it is an invitation to listen to your body, ask better questions, and advocate for your health.

Losing weight in your 40s is not the same as losing weight in your 20s, and if you’ve been feeling frustrated, discouraged, or stuck, you’re not imagining it.In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of losing around 20 pounds naturally, without dieting, medication, or extremes — and the mindset and lifestyle shifts that actually made it sustainable. We talk honestly about why motivation doesn’t last, what my trainer taught me about protein and nourishment, and how to work out without stressing your body, joints, or nervous system.I break down my realistic approach to clean eating and organic whole foods, reflect on what Susan Powter taught so many of us about food and empowerment, and explain why low-impact workouts can be incredibly effective in midlife. We also dive into the realities of perimenopause, including insulin resistance, visceral fat, blood sugar crashes, and why the “rules” from our 20s no longer apply.I also open up about my personal experience with fibroids, weight gain, and the stubborn stomach bulge that so many women quietly struggle with — along with how fast food, stress, mental health, and the way we talk to ourselves can impact our progress more than we realize.Inside this episode, I share:How to adjust your routine when you feel overwhelmed (without quitting)A simple food hack to stay on track on busy or hard daysMy secret sugar substitute tip and how to avoid crashesWhy blood work matters, including iron deficienciesMy favorite grass-fed protein supplementsThe role fiber plays in weight lossHow I use the 80/20 rule without all-or-nothing thinkingAn “excesses” hack for eating out, parties, and special occasionsThis episode isn’t about perfection or punishment. It’s about learning how to support your body in this season of life — calmly, compassionately, and in a way that actually works long-term.Remember… the more you know, the more you glow.#WeightLossOver40#MidlifeWellness#HormoneHealth#PerimenopauseSupport#NaturalWeightLoss#WomenOver40#SustainableWellness#HealthyAging

As we step into 2026, I wanted to take a moment to slow down, reflect, and share what’s next — not just for this podcast, but for the way we approach beauty together.In this New Year episode, I’m opening up about how the podcast is evolving, why I’m making a few intentional changes, and some big news I’ve been so excited (and a little nervous) to share. This next chapter feels more aligned, more grounded, and more honest, and I think you’ll feel that shift right away.We’re also getting back to the basics when it comes to skincare. Not trends. Not hype. Just what actually matters if you want healthy, resilient skin, especially as we move through our 40s and beyond. I’ll be sharing the skincare principles I’ll be focusing on going forward, why simplifying your routine can be so powerful, and how consistency, barrier support, and intention make all the difference in achieving real beauty goals.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the beauty industry, disconnected from your routine, or ready for a reset that feels supportive instead of stressful, this episode is for you.Here’s to a new year, a clearer path, and choosing what truly serves us — skin, heart, and soul.Remember, the more you know, the more you glow. 💛#beautyover40 #SkinOver40 #SkincareSimplified #HealthySkinJourney #MidlifeBeauty

What if the way you speak to yourself is quietly shaping the way you look?In this Beauty Sermon, Jentri shares the powerful “I AM” principle taught by Dr. Wayne Dyer and how it directly affects your confidence, your nervous system, and even your skin. We talk about why focusing on what you don’t want, like wrinkles, aging, or comparison, actually keeps you stuck there, and how shifting your identity first is what creates real, visible change.We also unpack the illusion of social media perfection versus real life, and why comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s filtered highlight reel can disconnect you from your own beauty and possibility.This episode is a gentle but empowering reminder that belief comes before evidence, and that your glow begins in your thoughts long before it shows up in the mirror.Glow Note: Stop letting what you see deny what you’ve already decided in your spirit. You don’t believe it when you see it — you see it when you believe it.The more you know, the more you glow!
