Reframing Midlife
Welcome to "Reframing Midlife," a podcast where I’m flipping the script on midlife. I'm Dr. Diane Strachowski, your host licensed psychologist and guide through this wild, wonderful, and sometimes wacky phase of life! Let’s face it—midlife can feel like a never-ending roller coaster. One minute, you’re conquering the world; the next, your hair’s migrating to your chin while your waistline’s taking over the world map! Sleep? What's that? Sex drive? Might need a GPS to find it.

I’m bringing in the big guns—health, fitness, cognitive therapy, neuroscience, and nutrition experts.
