• Tracy Anderson Lawsuit, Paris Hilton vs Mr. Deepfakes, Rosie's Facelift, and A Big Announcement - 1303 03.06.2026 50m

  Fitness copyright just got dismantled, deepfake porn just got a law, and Rosie O'Donnell just got honest. Something happened in a federal courtroom that every fitness creator, every entrepreneur, every woman who's ever built something from scratch needs to hear about. It involves Tracy Anderson, a $110 million fitness empire, and a ruling that just told her anyone can copy 30 years of her work. And that's just where Chalene Johnson gets started in this episode. By the end, you'll know why a suburban pharmacist became the face of the biggest deepfake porn crisis in history, what Paris Hilton's new TikTok documentary is exposing, and why the Take It Down Act might matter to you personally, even if you have 200 followers and a private account. There's also a Rosie O'Donnell facelift confession nobody saw coming, a very honest conversation about women and bodies and who we go after when we're triggered, and a personal announcement from Chalene about where this show is headed next.

• Why Women Over 50 Need WAY More Protein Than You Think - 1302 29.05.2026 34m

  The protein fix for women over 40 that doesn't require tracking, measuring, or losing your mind. Most protein advice was literally designed to make you fail. And the studies it's based on? Done on young athletic men. Not you. What nobody tells you about protein in midlife, the real talk on why you're not absorbing it, how much you actually need, and the fix that doesn't require an app or a food scale. Chalene Johnson spent years obsessing over macros, scanning every package, and still feeling like she was failing every single day. At 57, she's leaner than she was when she was exercising four to five hours a day. She doesn't track. She doesn't restrict. And she finally understands why none of that old stuff was ever going to work. Here's what most protein advice leaves out. Once you're in perimenopause or menopause, your body stops producing the same digestive enzymes. It literally can't break down protein the way it used to. So even if you're hitting your numbers, you're probably not absorbing what you think you are. This is called anabolic resistance, and it changes everything. Why the protein studies everyone quotes were done on young athletic men, not you Why feeling bloated and gassy after eating protein is not a coincidence Why women in midlife actually need more protein than they did at 35, not less Why processed protein products are creating inflammation and working against you Chalene also shares her Smart Girl method for eyeballing protein without a label, app, or calculator, the digestive enzyme tip that was a total game changer, and the one habit every woman she knows who looks amazing at 50, 60, and 70 actually does.   💪🏼 Book your virtual Age Well Appointment today with MIDI Health!! 👉 http://chalene.com/MIDI   🎯Related Links: Bioptimizers Masszymes digestive enzymes 👉 http://chalene.com/digest Organifi collagen peptides 👉 http://chalene.com/collagen Chalene's Favorites!

• Ketamine Therapy, Demi Moore's Body, Erika Jayne's Settlement and The Crash - 1301 27.05.2026 1h 8m

  The honest conversation about midlife anxiety, perimenopause supplement scams, and why women over 40 can't stop adding things to their plate. I can't stop. I can't rest. And even when I do, I feel guilty about it. Sound familiar? I did my third ketamine therapy session last week and something shifted. I'm not gonna oversell it, but I noticed. And apparently so did hundreds of you who sent me DMs saying you feel the exact same way. We need to talk about this. We also need to talk about what's going on with women in midlife right now because the messages I've been getting from you are telling me this is not just a Chalene problem. The anxiety. The pressure. The guilt when you finally rest. That's an us problem. Plus there's a major investigation just published about how supplement companies are targeting women in perimenopause with products that have zero clinical evidence behind them. In at least one case it led to a misdiagnosis of cancer. I'm giving you the one question to ask before you buy anything in this space. Then we're getting into the Erika Jayne settlement because the media has this completely wrong and the $2 million number everyone keeps repeating is not the whole story. And at the very end, spoiler warning, my full breakdown of The Crash on Netflix and everything they conveniently left out. 🔥Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉http://chalene.com/more  Or go directly to the Full Ketamine Episode 👉  https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-did-ketamine-158992336   🧐Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/   🎉 Camp Be More 2027 Registration is now OPEN!! 👉 http://campbemore.com   💥 Related Links: Dr. Andrew Levinson, Vitality Health Miami Beach: https://www.vhw.co/ The Crash on Netflix Mean Girl Murders on HBO Max  Perimenopause supplement investigation: https://www.statnews.com/2026/05/23/perimenopause-misinformation-influencers-supplements-hormones/   🎯Our Sponsors!!  Organifi!!!

• I Asked My Plastic Surgeon Everything and He Was Brutally Honest - 1300 22.05.2026 44m

  What nobody tells you about facelifts, the real talk on natural results, real costs, and what actually matters. My plastic surgeon looked at my facelift consultation list and said no to half of it. Honestly? That's when I knew he was the right one. Listen to all the BTS of My Facelift Journey  👉http://chalene.com/facelift Dr. Miguel Mascaro is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in deep plane facelifts and natural results for women over 40. He only takes patients by referral. His wait list is two to three years out. And in this conversation, he was more honest with me than any surgeon I've ever talked to. We get into everything. Why good facelift results go completely unnoticed. Why waiting too long is actually one of the biggest mistakes you can make. What's really going on when someone comes out of facial plastic surgery looking nothing like themselves? And why doing every procedure on your list at once almost always backfires. I also tell you exactly what I had done, what Dr. Mascaro told me I didn't need, how I treated my facelift recovery like a full-time job, and yes, I tell you exactly what I paid for my extended deep plane facelift. Down to the penny. But you're gonna have to watch till the end for that one. I am just your bossy big sister who really doesn't want you to mess up your face.

• GLP-1 Protein Propaganda, Bethenny Frankel & Ketamine Treatments - 1299 20.05.2026 56m

  Three new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly "high protein," the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I'm on a ketamine table as you listen. Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what's actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone's talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor's appointment. She also gets into why every grocery aisle suddenly screams "high protein," and why this whole moment is starting to feel suspiciously like the Snackwell cookie era. There's a simple protein target that works without tracking macros, and Chalene walks through how she's using it. Then she breaks down the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama that took over Instagram this week. What the shoe brand founder got wrong, what Bethenny got wrong, and the rules of brand partnerships that almost nobody outside the influencer world understands. Finally, a personal update. As you're listening to this, Chalene is on the table for another medically supervised ketamine treatment with Dr. Andrew Levinson. She shares why she went back for a third session, what the last journey taught her about control, and who this kind of work is really for.   🔥Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉http://chalene.com/more   🎯 Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

• AI Is Stealing Followers and Trust w/Brock Johnson - 1298 15.05.2026 36m

  Chalene + her son Brock on the AI avatar takeover, why midlife creators are most at risk, and the one thing AI can never copy. This week's episode is a little different because Chalene is actually the guest. Brock Johnson invited his mom back onto Build Your Tribe for a conversation that honestly feels very relevant right now. Everyone is rushing to use AI for content, branding, writing, thumbnails, videos, and automation… but what if it's actually making creators more forgettable? Chalene and Brock break down the growing "trust recession" happening online, why audiences are becoming more skeptical of polished content, and how AI may already be hurting authenticity more than creators realize. They also talk about why younger generations instantly recognize AI generated content, how fake influencers are already getting brand deals, and the surprising reason imperfect content is starting to outperform polished content on YouTube and Instagram. This conversation gets into the future of personal branding, content creation, and what creators over 40 need to understand before AI completely changes the online landscape. If you've been wondering how to use AI without losing trust, connection, or credibility, this episode is a must listen.

• Dorit vs PK Texts, Sports Illustrated Drama, Kim K Lawsuit and AI Is Making Me Tired - 1297 13.05.2026 50m

  Okay… this episode goes everywhere. It starts with a fitness hot take that might make people mad: if women over 40 only have time to lift three days a week… should we just focus on legs? That turns into a whole conversation about muscle, metabolism, longevity, and what actually matters versus what the fitness industry keeps telling us we "should" be doing. Then Bret and I get into the Dorit and PK divorce mess, the Sports Illustrated influencer debate, why influencers honestly work harder than celebrities, and the Kim Kardashian story that has the internet fighting. We also became fully obsessed with a MrBeast grocery store challenge that somehow turned into a conversation about psychology, marketing, and why YouTubers understand human behavior better than TV executives. But the part that really hit me was the AI conversation. If you've been feeling weirdly behind lately, overwhelmed by Slack, Asana, Claude, notifications, nonstop messages, and trying to keep up with how fast everything is moving… you are definitely not alone. We got very real about AI burnout, entrepreneur overload, and why all these tools that are supposed to save time somehow make life feel even more chaotic. 🔥 Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉http://chalene.com/more   💪🏼 Book your virtual Age Well Appointment today with MIDI Health!! 👉 http://chalene.com/MIDI   🔥 Join Phase It!!

• Cruise Ship Virus, Shocking Instagram Reset, and The Must Watch List - 1296 08.05.2026 54m

  There's a lot happening right now, and some of it feels a little too familiar. A mysterious virus outbreak on a cruise ship has countries refusing entry, raising real questions about global health risks, travel safety, and whether we've actually learned anything since COVID. At the same time, millions of Instagram followers just vanished overnight… including from some of the biggest celebrities in the world. If you've ever worried about your growth, your numbers, or what actually matters on social media, this is going to shift your perspective fast. Then things take a turn into pop culture, politics, and entertainment in a way only Chalene can connect the dots. From a reality TV villain entering politics to the must-watch documentaries everyone is talking about right now, this episode blends real-world headlines with the kind of commentary that makes you think a little deeper. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the news, confused by social media, or just need something good to watch this weekend… this is your guide. 🔥Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉http://chalene.com/more   🧐Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/   Documentaries / Docuseries Worst Ex Ever Season 2 (Netflix)  Trust Me The False Prophet (Netflix)  Hulk Hogan Real American (Netflix)  The Truth and Tragedy of Mariah Wilson (Netflix)  Should I Marry a Murderer (Netflix)  The Turpin Family Diane Sawyer Interview (Hulu or Disney)  Naked Ambition Bunny Yeager (Netflix)  Out of Body by Noah Kahan (Netflix)  Alabama Solution (HBO Max)  The Dark Wizard Dean Potter (HBO Max) Reality Shows / Series Love on the Spectrum (Netflix)  Love Is Blind Age of Attraction (Netflix)  Real Housewives of Rhode Island (Bravo)  RuPaul's Drag Race (MTV / Paramount+)   🎉Related Links: Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

• Estrogen Shortage, GLP-1 Risks, and the Diddy and Blake Lively Shocking Updates - 1295 06.05.2026 56m

  There's a lot happening right now, and some of it deserves real attention. From the estrogen patch shortage, which could last years, to new research on GLP-1 weight loss drugs and what they may be doing to muscle in women over 50, this episode goes deeper than the headlines. It also breaks down what's unfolding in the Diddy case, the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama, and why situations like these often feel frustrating and unresolved. Then the focus shifts to more personal updates, including Penelope's health, filming 19 workouts in 3 days, and a few eye-opening moments that challenge how we think about aging, strength, and what's actually possible in midlife. For anyone navigating menopause, considering HRT, using GLP-1s, or simply trying to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed, this episode is worth the listen. Be honest…what do you think really happened with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni? Was this orchestrated, who do you actually believe, and whose career do you think comes out stronger after all of this… or are you over it completely?   💥 Check Chalene's Deep Dive on Blake and Justin Called Smeared 👉 https://www.patreon.com/collection/1241657?view=expanded   💪🏼Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

• What Really Happened to Turbo Jam, P90X, Insanity, Tae Bo and Other Workouts - 1294 01.05.2026 26m

  Everyone remembers those iconic workout programs, but almost no one knows why they actually disappeared. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down the truth behind popular fitness programs like Tae Bo, P90X, and Turbo Jam, the program she created, and what was really happening inside the fitness industry during the biggest home workout boom. From Tae Bo to P90X to Turbo Jam, these programs did not fail. They were designed to expire. And once you understand how the fitness industry really worked behind the scenes, you will never look at weight loss programs, before and after transformations, or 90 day challenges the same way again. This episode pulls back the curtain on the marketing, contracts, and consumer psychology that drove the cycle of quick fix workouts and repeat customers. It also reveals why so many top trainers ended up burned out, broke, or replaced, and why women kept losing and regaining the same weight over and over again. And yes, this insight comes from Chalene Johnson, who was not just observing it, she was building one of the biggest programs of that era with Turbo Jam.

• Did You Know About This? - 1293 29.04.2026 1h 4m

  Everyone keeps talking about AI like it's just some helpful tool… but what's actually happening right now? It's a lot bigger than most people realize. This episode starts with something that honestly feels a little unhinged… AI employees showing up in company directories, massive layoffs being blamed on automation, and creators competing with content that isn't even made by real humans anymore. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. But then it takes a turn… into looksmaxxing, teenage boys chasing perfection, peptides being used way too casually, and the kind of trends spreading online that most of us don't even realize are influencing people this young. And in the middle of all of that… some very real life updates, including what happened after Bob's memorial, the regret that hit afterward, and the unexpected perspective that helped shift it. This one covers a lot… but it all connects.   💥Hang out with Chalene on her Private Podcast Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more    🎉 Camp Be More 2027 Registration is now OPEN!! 👉 http://campbemore.com   💥 What Chalene Talks About: What AI layoffs actually mean for you How AI is replacing real jobs Why creators are competing with AI How clipping farms flood your feed What looksmaxxing really is Why "bone smashing" is trending How young men are using peptides The risks of unregulated peptides Why rapid weight loss can backfire The emotional aftermath of Bob's memorial Rethinking who you let into your life   🤓 Past Episode: Lost Boys https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-chalene-show-diet-fitness-life-balance/id911042029?i=1000735381941 Gen Z Subculture (Looksmaxxing, Bone Smashing, and Peptides at 14?) - On Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/gen-z-subculture-155898328   🎯 Related Links: 💪🏼Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

  Thinking about a facelift after 40 or 50 and wondering what facelift recovery is really like or if it is the answer to a tighter jawline? In this episode, Chalene Johnson shares the truth about facelift regrets, healing, and what plastic surgery after 40 actually involves when everything goes right. Most conversations focus on botched results or complications, but this goes deeper into the emotional impact, numbness, recovery timeline, and unexpected side effects even the best surgeons do not fully prepare you for. If you have ever considered a facelift, anti aging procedures, or questioned whether a facelift is worth it, this is the real, unfiltered perspective you need before making that decision.

• Saturday Spill | Fake Followers, Fake Credibility, Real People Falling for It 18.04.2026 11m

  Listen to the full 48 minute Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "Fake Followers, Fake Credibility, Real People Falling for It" https://www.patreon.com/posts/fake-followers-154734742   Picture this: Chalene hires a high-end editing agency expecting next-level work… and instead, everything starts quietly falling apart. What begins as a normal hiring process turns into missed details, bad edits, and then one move that crosses a line you don't come back from. It's frustrating, a little shocking, and the kind of behind-the-scenes story you only hear on Patreon.   This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff that usually stays on Patreon. Some weeks it's hilarious, some weeks it's jaw-dropping, but it's always real life that doesn't quite fit on the regular show. If you're into a little chaos and behind-the-scenes tea, you're in the right place. If you love it, amazing…you can listen to the full, unedited version here http://Chalene.com/more
• Lifer Update Plus The Cortisol Belly Answers You Need To Know - 1290 17.04.2026 49m

  Question - Would you rather new episodes drop on Sundays or keep on Fridays? Let me know in the podsquad. Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/ For women over 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, belly fat isn't just about calories or willpower. It's about hormones, cortisol, and a specific type of fat most people don't fully understand: visceral fat. And here's the frustrating part… a lot of the advice women have been following for years can actually make it worse. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down what's really happening inside the body during midlife, why common weight loss strategies backfire, and what actually works to reduce stubborn belly fat without slowing metabolism or increasing stress. What Chalene Talks About: • Why visceral fat behaves differently (and why it's harder to lose) • The real connection between cortisol, stress, and midsection weight gain • Why eating less can backfire in perimenopause and menopause • The "protein preloading" strategy that helped reduce belly fat • A simple way to hit protein goals without tracking or counting • Why certain workouts may be increasing stress hormones • The best type of movement to support fat loss after 40 • How muscle impacts metabolism and long-term fat loss • The supplements that may support blood sugar, sleep, and hormones If you've been doing everything "right" and still feel stuck with belly fat, this will finally make it make sense… and give you a much simpler way forward.

• Britney Spears Rehab, Kardashian's Church Scam and Evil Empires Under Our Noses - 1289 15.04.2026 54m

  Britney Spears checked into rehab… and yes, that's the headline. But for anyone who's been paying attention, it's clear there's a lot more going on beneath the surface. Chalene Johnson takes a deeper look at everything surrounding it… the DUI, the conservatorship, her recent behavior, the people in her orbit, and the bigger names and systems that keep showing up in the background. And the deeper you go, the harder it becomes to ignore the patterns. What's actually known is separated from what's speculation, along with why some of these connections feel too consistent to dismiss. From Britney's history of control and finances to the larger conversation around power, money, and influence, this one gets uncomfortable. Chalene Gets Into: • What likely led up to Britney checking into treatment • Why rehab right now may not be as random as it seems • The real impact of the conservatorship and who benefited • The financial relationships that continue to raise questions • Why people are suddenly connecting Britney to bigger headlines • The patterns showing up around power, control, and influence in Hollywood • Why it's getting harder to separate truth from narrative This isn't about tearing anyone down. There's real empathy for Britney and what she's been through. But once you start connecting some of these dots… it's hard to ignore.   💥 Hang out with Chalene on her Private Podcast Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more    🎯Related Links: Chalene's Favorites!
