About Dr. Taz, founder of hol+ As a pioneer in merging systems of medicine together, double board certified integrative medicine physician Dr. Taz Bhatia is on a mission to provide the world with true, holistic medicine that combines a unique integration of science, spirit, and the human experience. Faced with personal health challenges in her twenties and a health care system that was dismissive, Dr. Taz turned to nutrition, homeopathy and Eastern medical wisdom for answers. What she found was a wealth of information not yet taught in conventional medical schools. Passionate to share this new knowledge, she opened CentreSpringMD in Atlanta, a nationally recognized holistic and integrative medical practice designed to treat the whole family.

Welcome to hol+, the podcast where science meets spirit. I’m your host, Dr. Taz, a double board-certified medical doctor, integrative health expert, nutritionist, acupuncturist and founder and CEO of hol+. This show empowers you with the knowledge to heal not just your body but also your relationships, your communities, and our world. Medicine is in crisis and the path and journey to healing is far too fragmented. Globally, the medicine of today is far behind the calling of our current times. Our current healthcare system leaves patients fed up and frustrated, symptoms and complaints are dismissed and the global disease burden only gets more expensive and illusive–all in the context of a changing environment, toxic planet, and increasingly fractured family units. Dr. Taz MD and her guests tackle all things medicine, health, wellness, and family. Each episode enters that space where the layers of our being intersect; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, community, and even the influence of our environment. You’ll hear expert interviews, personal stories, and actionable tips that cut through the noise, bringing you clarifying and coveted "aha!" moments for both you and your loved ones. hol+ is more than a podcast—it’s a movement.

This special BONUS EPISODE, entitled Stronger Together, is the epilogue to our special nine-part series. It’s a closing conversation where our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcomed Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs, to explore the importance of community and connection in midlife, their thoughts + reflections on the series overall and why they were so passionate about supporting it. The conversation touches on how Womaness, a brand built for women by women, fosters community and trust, including a private Facebook Group called The After Party where over 9,000 women connect + share their insights and experiences about midlife. We also discuss the complex paradigm of women supporting women and why that sometimes feels difficult - both in life and in business. We also take a valuable look back on the series, leaving listeners with valuable insights from key episodes and share more on what’s ahead for The Midlife Truth Project. About Our Guests: Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs met over 20 years ago. They became good friends early in their careers, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for each other. During a catchup a few years ago, Sally shared she’d been experiencing a variety of symptoms—aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin—and was surprised to learn that these were all related to menopause. After reaching out to friends and colleagues, they realized that this scenario was all too common. There was no clear education, support, or modern products for this time in a woman’s life. So they did something about it. Leveraging their combined skills and experiences, they created Womaness, the leading women’s wellness brand, to modernize aging for women and to help them navigate their changing bodies with innovative products and solutions, essential information, and unlimited inspiration.

This is episode (9) of our special nine-part series entitled Connect The Dots . Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcome serial entrepreneur, visionary and dedicated philanthropist Sara Blakely. As the founder of Spanx , a now billion-dollar global brand that revolutionized women’s apparel and, more recently, Sneex , the world’s first high-heel sneaker, Sara shares her midlife journey as a time of transformation and growth. She highlights the importance of mindset, intuition, and carving out moments for self-connection, all of which have guided her major decisions in life, including selling Spanx. She also gives valuable advice + insight on how to embrace fear and stay connected to one's "why" - especially in midlife. Here are some key themes + takeaways … Midlife as a "Chrysalis": Rather than seeing midlife as a crisis, Sara sees it as a transformative period of shedding, growth and inner reflection, where ego-driven motivations give way to purpose-driven ones driven more by spirit. The Power of Visualization: Sara shares her approach on visualization where she focuses on creating mental space for her mind to wander, daydream and allowing ideas to surface naturally. Connecting with Intuition: From an early age, Sara explains how she learned to connect with herself, embrace intuition and manifest what she wants. She talks openly about her ongoing process of becoming intentional and clear about key decisions as well as asking the universe for specific signs to guide her. Overcoming Fear: “The only way to overcome your fear, is to do it,” Sara says, explaining that continues to be committed to saying YES to challenging situations that could be embarrassing. Embarrassing situations become funny, vulnerable stories, she explains, and these experiences make us more resilient and allow us to embrace our imperfections. Struggling with Perimenopause: Sara opens up about her own vulnerable experience and confusion dealing with perimenopause including extreme hormone fluctuations, sleep struggles, massive weight fluctuations and severe emotional lows. Philanthropy and Purpose-Driven Work: Passionately dedicated to empowering women, she talks about her personal, and at times playful, approach to philanthropy, including lending out her wedding dress to women during COVID, creating a "wedding dress sisterhood." About Our Guest, Sara Blakely Sara Blakely is a serial entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Spanx, a brand that revolutionized women’s shapewear by turning her personal frustration with traditional hosiery into an innovative solution. Beyond her business, Blakely is committed to empowering women globally through her Sara Blakely Foundation, and became the first female billionaire to join the Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half her wealth to charity. Today, she continues to inspire as an investor on Shark Tank , a frequent speaker, and a champion for women achieving their dreams, all while aiming to create the world’s most comfortable high-heel shoe, Sneex.

This is episode (8) of our special nine-part series entitled It’s Not Too Late . Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Gabby Reece - volleyball legend, inspirational health and fitness leader, podcast host, corporate speaker, New York Times bestselling author, wife, and mother. In this conversation, Gabby shares her own personal experience navigating midlife and her perspective and advice on fostering a positive mindset, prioritizing self-care + the power of taking personal inventory. Together we discuss why it’s "never too late" for anything; new pursuits, fitness, relationships and instead how to lean into curiosity and play with flexibility and grace. Here are some key themes + takeaways … Midlife + Adolescence: similar to adolescence, we can either buy into what society tells us that we should be thinking and feeling in midlife, or we can avoid the noise and take charge of what we can control. We’re not invisible, it’s simply nature: at the end of the day, humans are animals. As we reach midlife, we’re not emitting signals to make people look at us, because we’re NOT having babies anymore. That doesn’t mean we’re invisible. Midlife is nature’s way of freeing us up, so we can move on and add value in different ways. Preserve your inner ‘girl’: as we age, remember to have fun, not just on Saturday nights but also on everyday afternoons. Lety’s “sharpen the blade of being ‘naughty’ and be more playful, have more levity and take ourselves less seriously. The distinction between curiosity and searching: recognize that the answer is not “out there” for us to search for, it’s ‘within’ us. Ultimately there really aren’t any ‘answers’ anyway. Curiosity is about waking up everyday with your beliefs but being willing to question them, listen to other ideas and learn new concepts. As long as you’re ALIVE, be ALIVE: don’t fall into the trap of ‘you’re either young or old’. Instead, lean into the fact that you’re either ALIVE or DEAD, and as long as you’re alive, BE ALIVE. We’re all here to connect and contribute something for as long as we’re alive. Life is school : we’re learning - let go of all the expectations and live. All you need is 90 days: Create a plan for movement + nutrition. There is nothing more painful than not moving. You can change anything if you give it 90 days About Our Guest, Gabby Reece Gabby Reece is a former professional volleyball player, fitness icon, model, and entrepreneur known for her powerful presence both on and off the court. With a career that began in sports and extended into wellness advocacy, she has inspired countless individuals to pursue active, healthy lifestyles. Beyond her athletic achievements, Reece is a successful businesswoman, author, and podcast host who champions the importance of mental resilience, self-care, and balance.

This is episode (7) of our special nine-part series entitled Plan Ahead . Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Jean Chatzky - CEO and Founder of HerMoney , journalist, author, and former financial editor of NBC’s Today Show . The conversation addresses both the practical and emotional aspects of financial planning, especially for women in their 40s and 50s. Chatzky shares insights into why financial planning is inherently challenging, particularly due to human behavioral tendencies, and emphasizes the importance of understanding personal "money types" to overcome financial roadblocks. Here are some of the themes we discuss … What ‘planning ahead’ means in our 40s + 50s: Jean offers perspective on why we’re not necessarily wired to plan ahead ahead, how planning ahead has evolved, and what we should be thinking about today. Emotional and Behavioral Aspects of Money Management The episode underscores that money management isn’t just numbers—it’s tied deeply to emotions and behaviors, and understanding this connection can help individuals make better, less reactive financial decisions. Understanding Personal “Money Types” She explains that one of the first steps to planning ahead is to better understand your relationship with money and finances. Jean recommends taking a money personality quiz (see link below) to provide insight on why you are the way you are, and, if you’re in a relationship, how your partner is wired too. Building an Emergency Fund Jean highlights the importance of a dedicated emergency fund (aka the “oh shit” fund) for life’s unexpected expenses, including tips on how much we should have saved for unforeseen circumstances. Empowering Women in Financial Decision Making The conversation explores how many women in midlife feel unprepared to handle or even talk about personal finances, the need to insert oneself in financial conversations, and advice on how to take a more active role in managing day-to-day finances. Setting Realistic Financial Goals Jean offers valuable benchmarks for savings and retirement, insight on how to talk more openly with your partner/spouse about your future goals, and broader perspective on how to avoid FOMO relative to what one can and can’t afford. About Our Guest, Jean Chatzky Jean Chatzky, CEO and co-founder of HerMoney is the former financial editor of NBC’s Today Show , a coach on the PBS show Opportunity Knocks , a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, the financial ambassador for AARP and the host of the HerMoney podcast. Through decades of reporting on personal finance, she learned that a) the jargon-filled speak of the financial industry was created (largely by men) to sell you stuff you don’t need, and b) if you eliminate the jargon there is absolutely no rocket science to money. She knows that a full, successful financial life is within every woman’s grasp — and with the HerMoney team, she’s on a mission to help you get it. Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!

This is episode (6) of our special nine-part series entitled Friendship Matters . Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Paige Nolan - life coach, writer and podcast host of I’ll Meet You There . This episode explores the importance of meaningful connection as we age, as well as the sometimes painful reality of needing to take inventory of our friendships and the mutual work that’s required. We’ll also delve into what happens when things get bumpy in a friendship, how to have uncomfortable conversations, and the idea of opening yourself up to new friendships in this new season of our lives. Here are some of the themes we discuss … How friendship evolves as we age. How our lives shift raising children, changing jobs, or with a move, or divorce, leaving some suddenly feeling more disconnected or lonely. Midlife as an opportunity to become more intentional about who + how we spend our time. The power of taking inventory of our relationships , nurturing those that are more meaningful to us while allowing more space for those less fulfilling. Friendship is like a garden: There are oak trees (deeply rooted friends), flowers (beautiful, meaningful connections with sometimes shorter seasons), and weeds (yes, weeds, those relationships that no longer serve us + need pruning). The importance of vulnerability + time: True intimacy in friendship requires showing up, being present and vulnerable as well as daring to have "hard conversations" that cultivate even stronger bonds. Ultimately, we have to take responsibility for the relationships and experiences we want. Lead with love: In difficult situations, remind yourself, it’s not you against them, it’s the two of you against the distance you both feel. It’s never too late to forge new relationships or deepen existing ones. Lean into common hobbies or community groups, be curious and interested ( and don’t underestimate the power of Pickleball! ) Added bonus - Paige shares her thoughts about life coaching vs therapy, her approach, what to look for, and who may benefit from this work . About Our Guest, Paige Nolan Paige Nolan is a life coach, podcaster, speaker, and writer who guides people to discover and focus on what matters most – so they can experience deeply fulfilling lives.

This is episode (5) of our special nine-part series entitled Sex is Complicated . Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome celebrated urologist, author, and podcast host, Dr. Kelly Casperon to unravel why sex + intimacy becomes more nuanced as we age. Kelly’s direct and approachable style provides valuable perspective and much needed advice on all things adult sex-ed. In this episode, Kelly breaks down: Why sex + intimacy is nuanced + layered as we transition into midlife What's happening physically + emotionally and how to navigate it both in and out of the bedroom Advice + perspective on how to take charge of your sexual wellness including the importance of vaginal estrogen, knowing your anatomy, and how to talk more openly with your partner and/or spouse The importance of rethinking sex + intimacy as ‘PLAY’ About Our Guest, Kelly Casperson MD. Dr. Casperson is a board-certified practicing urologist interested in the power of the mind and science to change our views on sexuality. After years in medical practice, she had a life-changing patient who fueled not only her interest in learning everything she could about female sexual wellness but ultimately, her passion for educating women everywhere that they are not broken in the bedroom. They just didn’t get a proper education (and neither did their partners). She created a podcast called You Are Not Broken which consistently ranks in the top 10 in the Apple “sexuality” category in multiple countries. It has been nominated for an AASECT award for three years running. She went on to develop online courses teaching women the fundamentals of their anatomy and physiology, discussing their limiting beliefs, and normalizing their normal female sexual function, so that they are empowered to live their best love lives yet. She has a premier, private podcast/group coaching experience, which started in July 2022 to help people create desire and agency in their intimate lives. Certified through the Life Coach School and the North American Menopause Society, she now combines her medical knowledge with mind-work to help women have more understanding and agency over their sexuality. An engaging and humorous storyteller, she is a nationally recognized speaker, known for being approachable (like your big sister who is a doctor), making people feel comfortable with these often-uncomfortable topics, and changing lives in and out of the bedroom with her practical and useful tips. She is opening The Casperson Clinic in October 2024 Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!
