The New Mid is a frank, funny look at women in mid-life and their day-to day-struggles and successes, as well as the big stuff - questions about meaning, fulfillment and happiness. It’s a place where women in their 40’s and up are breaking societal boundaries and expectations, while still dealing with real life issues such as caring for aging parents or restarting their careers.  You’ll get real talk with nothing held back about the topics you care about, with experts weighing in on health, sex, finances, relationships and everything in between.

There are so many different diets out there. It seems like every few months there's a new one whether it be to take a new product, eat only certain foods or not eat for several hours. It's no wonder the weight loss industry is a $72 billion industry. I wanted to get to the bottom of what is causing us in midlife to gain weight and how can we lose the weight and keep it off. I reached out to dietitian Amy Goldsmith from Kindred Nutrition. We get into a great discussion about what's going on in our bodies during midlife and breaks down the latest diets and what we need to know about nutrition. It was so great I've made this a 2 part series. Today's is Part 1 of my interview.
