At 61, even my splurges are more intentional. ✨

Intentional about the pieces I invest in for my wardrobe.
Intentional about how I care for my health.
Intentional about how I want to feel in this season of life.

I was looking for a merlot colored bag for my fall wardrobe. After considering several brands I decided on the Gucci Jackie 1961 in Rosso Ancora leather. The twilly is PERFECTION too!

Just like Jackie O, sophisticated with classic style… this intentional splurge is one I know I’ll love for years to come. ❤️

Here’s to choosing what brings us health, confidence AND joy.

SKIN AT 60? ✨ It’s more than just creams.

Nothing to swipe because I’m doing it all!! 😉

I love a good skincare routine, but as a 61-year-old pharmacist, I know healthy skin is so much more than creams!

What we eat, how we move, how we sleep and the nutrients we give our bodies can all play a role in supporting our skin as we age.

A few things that are part of MY healthy-skin routine:

ONE: Supplements

✨ Protein — Our skin needs amino acids to make structural proteins like collagen and elastin. I prioritize protein throughout my day.

✨ Collagen peptides — Collagen production naturally declines with age. My grass fed beef protein is naturally high in collagen. I’ll use Biosil to help my body make its own collagen too!

✨ Omega-3s — I take an omega-3 for overall health, with the added bonus of supporting the skin barrier and healthy skin.

✨ Zinc — An important nutrient involved in skin health, wound healing and normal collagen synthesis.

Supplements are only part of the picture.

TWO: Lifestyle

Strength training , nutrient dense foods ( you can choose Vitamin C rich) , hydration, sleep and sun protection are all part of my lifestyle choices too.

THREE: Skincare

I’m consistent with my skincare and include a retinoid at bedtime, sunscreen for day and at home laser or microcurrent daily… and YES, I’m open to professional treatments that support my skin and collagen as I age.

Healthy aging isn’t one product, one supplement or one treatment. It’s the little things we do consistently.

What’s ONE thing you do every day for healthy skin?

Taking an OTC sleep aid? Something you NEED to know!

💎 NECKLACE & A HEALTH NUGGET: Episode 2

Necklaces: French Kande
Bracelets: Julie Vos & Freshwater Pearl Company

Today’s nugget is one I think every woman in midlife should know.

Many common medications have anticholinergic effects causing dry mouth , constipation and they block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which plays an important role in memory and thinking.

And here’s what gets my pharmacist attention: long-term, cumulative exposure to medications with strong anticholinergic effects has been associated with cognitive decline and memory issues.

Some you may recognize:

💊 OTC sleep aids that include diphenhydramine or doxylamine
💊 First-generation allergy medications like Benadryl ( Diphenhydramine)

Also numerous prescription medications including overactive bladder medications or older antidepressant medications which many midlife ladies may be taking too.

This doesn’t mean you should suddenly stop a medication your doctor prescribed. It DOES mean it’s worth asking whether there’s a safer option.

For sleep, magnesium or melatonin may be worth discussing with your medical provider ( what I personally use nightly along with a magnesium lotion). Progesterone can be helpful for sleep for women in menopause too!

Save this one and check the ingredient on your nighttime sleep aid. 💊💎

For education only. Never stop or change a medication without discussing it with your healthcare provider.

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

My outfits change daily. These 5 supplements? This pharmacist keeps them in rotation!

At 61, these are 5 supplements I personally reach for as part of my midlife routine:

✨ Magnesium — supports normal muscle and nerve function, relaxation and regularity. Magnesium Glycinate is part of a nighttime routine for sleep.

✨ Omega-3s — support cardiovascular health, brain health and joint health. Bonus: I love them as part of my overall healthy-aging routine for glowing skin.

✨ A probiotic — I prioritize gut health, and probiotics can support digestive health. The benefits are strain-specific, so not every probiotic does the same thing.

✨ Zinc — an important mineral involved in immune function, wound healing and normal cellular processes.

✨ Collagen peptides — part of my routine to support skin and joint health as I age.

Are any of these in your midlife supplement rotation?

Save this for later and send it to a friend who loves talking health as much as we do. 💖

I’ve never been athletic, getting dressed… that’s my sport! 😉🥰😂

At 61, I’m not ready to sit this season out.

Anyone else take putting together an outfit very seriously? 😋

I am literally obsessed with the mother- daughter design team @clarasunwoo.

Their clothes are easy to wear , wrinkle resistant , packable for vacation and definitely what I reach for when I want to feel my confident best.

This lounge knit set does not disappoint. It’s SO soft and comfortable and comes in four colors ( the black set is on my radar for looking stylish in the fall and winter). I know I’ll be wearing the tipped hem sweater with jeans and @clarasunwoo’s liquid leather pieces too.

Mini Vlog: Find the perfect gift with me at Neiman Marcus!

There’s something so special about walking through a store, spotting something beautiful and immediately thinking, “This is SO her.”

Today’s find was at Neiman Marcus, a little Mackenzie-Childs, a little whimsy, and hopefully a lot of joy for the special lady receiving it!

Had to look at the Valentino shoes while I was there too. I have a very narrow foot and they are one of the few brands that fit me!

Ended the day with a delicious meal at our favorite restaurant @zincbistro.

Giving gifts is definitely my love language, anyone else?

What if you could make acidic foods LESS acidic?

💎 Necklace & a Health Nugget
Episode 1

Welcome to necklace and a health nugget where I style one of my favorite necklaces and give you one quick health tip as a pharmacist.

Today’s necklace is from @aratta ( similar linked just as pretty from Aratta)

If acidic foods or drinks bother your bladder, there’s actually a product that can help reduce the acid BEFORE it hits your bladder.

It’s called Prelief and this little tip has been a game changer for so many when I share it with them for bladder and GI health.

Prelief ( calcium glycerophosphate) can help reduce the acid in foods like tomatoes, tomato sauce, coffee.

Be sure to pass this on to someone who may like to see this too!

Menopause was thinning my hair… three things I’m doing to help!

One of the biggest things I notice when I look at older pictures is that my hair used to be SO thick!

Things that have helped:
✨ Naturally increasing collagen through my grassfed beef protein ( honestly this has been the biggest game changer over the last few years because I’m very inconsistent with collagen supplements).

✨Getting inverted layers cut into my hair ( thank you @felix.lynn for this tip)

✨ I am currently using @currentbody’s LED Hair Regrowth System. I’m so excited about this! It’s just 10 minutes per day ( I do this while watching TV) and changes should occur in 16 weeks.

If you would like to join me on this 16 week journey, you can use code LISAKING for 10% off @currentbody!

Cheers to thicker hair on the new year! Check out my favorite protein here too!

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

POV: you are getting more and more high maintenance in midlife but honestly… have never felt better.

One of the biggest things women often share in midlife is IDFLM - I don’t feel like myself.

Honestly, between counting grams of protein, lifting weights, layering on creams at night and all the other self care it can feel like a lot.

If we can live out this chapter feeling vibrant, confident AND more like ourselves again it’s worth it! No shame in doing what you have to do to take care of YOU!

Thank you Lynn Felix @ryanmsalon for always letting me feel like the best version of me!

If I had to wear this outfit every day, I would! I am in love with this style!

✨Pants - Ruti

As a pharmacist of 38 years, I’m sharing these 3 supplements that I always fall back on for healthy aging.

As a 61 year old pharmacist, I am all about healthy aging from the inside out!

These supplements never go out of style!

Omega 3 Fatty Acids -a top pick for me this multi tasking supplement is great for beautiful glowing skin, heart health, cognitive health , mood and immunity … all so very important in menopause.
A probiotic - A healthy gut is a healthy body! Gut health truly is the basis for optimal health to reduce bloating, improve immunity and even beautiful healthy skin!
Magnesium- so important for cellular function to help with relaxation and also keep things ‘moving’ . If you can’t sleep at night, I highly recommend!

Which is in your routine right now?

🔥 You CAN reduce inflammation in your body… NO Ozempic NEEDED.

As a pharmacist, I’ve recently been asked A LOT about using GLP-1 medications to reduce inflammation in the body.

While I have nothing against these types of medications, there are dietary changes I recommend trying FIRST before using medication. This has worked for me in reducing inflammation and also weight release from inflammation!

Reducing inflammation can transform your energy, mood, and even your skin.

Start by cutting back on these big triggers:

🚫 Gums & fillers like guar gum and xanthum gum (often hiding in “healthy” snacks)

🚫 Seed oils like sunflower oil, canola or corn oil (look for olive, avocado, or coconut oil instead)

🚫 Refined sugar

🚫 Gluten & dairy (common culprits for bloating + joint pain) . I learned I was gluten and lactose intolerant through DNA testing.

Add in Omega 3 Fatty Acids through supplementation and food.

When you remove what’s causing inflammation you will start to feel more like YOU again!

If you were my patient at the pharmacy, this is what I would tell you … about what over 50% of women will never discuss with their doctor?

Overactive bladder ( OAB) is defined by 8 or more trips to the bathroom to urinate daily and two or more times per night ( Nocturia).

Pelvic focused exercises ( including kegels and pelvic floor physical therapy) and avoiding certain foods are helpful (foods such as acidic foods, spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol and many bladder resources)! Check out Prelief to help reduce acid in foods.

✨Symptoms can be caused by a decrease in estrogen in menopause and perimenopause.

Ask your doctor if Vaginal Estrogen is right for you.

Here are supplements to try that can be helpful as well:
⭐️Supplements to strengthen the pelvic floor which can improve OAB symptoms:
✨Vitamin D - many women with a weak pelvic floor are found to be deficient in Vitamin D
✨Collagen- collagen can not only improve skin, nails, bones and more but can help to strengthen the pelvic floor too! Biosil helps your body create collagen and grass fed beef protein is naturally high in collagen.
✨Raspberry Leaf Tea- can be helpful in toning the pelvic floor

⭐️ A supplement for overactive bladder:
✨Pumpkin Seed esxtract is often included in many supplements for overactive bladder.

This post is informational only and not medical advice. Please contact a medical professional before starting any supplement or if you are looking for resources for OAB. Be sure to pass this along to someone who may want to see this too!

Kinda Chic-to finally figure out how to manage menopause symptoms.

I had a hysterectomy over 11 years ago which left me feeling exhausted, inflamed and not myself.

At 61, I’m feeling better than I ever have in the past.

Here’s what changed:

✨ I started looking at added fillers in foods and swapped my pea protein for @designsforsport beef protein with fewer additives and naturally occurring collagen. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin and hair and less bloating too.

✨ I started listening to my own body and not everyone else.

Long fasting was very on trend when I entered menopause but it’s not for me. A simple 12–14 hour overnight reset fits my body’s natural rhythm. This has helped reduce cortisol and leaves me more energized and not so stressed and shaky. I’ve noticed a lot of health professionals here going with this plan too.

This also includes eating a more keto diet with limited fiber. Fiber is essential for balancing hormones and gut health. Now I look forward to adding in vegetables and I also add in flax at breakfast.

✨ I stopped chasing 10,000 steps every day and started prioritizing strength training . Building muscle has become one of the best investments I’ve made for healthy aging for bone and muscle health. I am finally seeing a shift in my body even though I haven’t lost weight due to body recompositioning.

✨ I no longer apologize for rest and sleep and have a sleep routine that works for me with magnesium, melatonin and magnesium lotion.

Yes… I do see a naturopathic physician to keep my hormones balanced too!

These swaps may not be right for everyone, but they’ve made a tremendous difference for me.

What’s one health swap you’ve made that’s helped you feel your best? I’d love to hear it in the comments.

Follow along here @thefulfilledpharmacist for more evidence-informed tips to help you look and feel your best in your 50s, 60s, and beyond.

As a pharmacist, these are the Wellness staples that always make it into my suitcase!

Here are my vacation MVP’s, be sure to take notes! ❤️

☀️ Many women are prone to UTIs while traveling due to less hydration, less bathroom stops and more intimacy . I always pack
@westcoastmint ‘s D- Mannose just in case to help prevent urinary tract infections and is also soothing to an irritated bladder. Use code FP15 for 15% off.

☀️Magnesium before bedtime helps with sleep, helps prevent constipation which can help alleviate overactive bladder symptoms and also helps with bladder tightness and irritability.

☀️Prelief which reduces acid in foods and is a go to especially on vacation when avoiding acidic foods that can irritate your bladder or GI tract. More spicy foods, coffee, Italian or Mexican foods are often more abundant on vacation. I pack this just in case too!

☀️ Melatonin and @glowbyhormoneuniversity ‘s magnesium lotion are my go-to’s for a good night sleep while not in my own bed.

☀️Sunscreen ( I use mineral based to prevent additional chemical absorption). I absolutely adore @kopari’s Bright as Day Sheer Mineral Tinted Sunscreen- SPF50.

☀️ A probiotic and digestive enzymes to prevent what affects 40% of people on vacation… constipation!

Of course I love packing cute clothes, hats and comfortable shoes too!! ❣️

Simple hacks to avoid what affects 40% of people while traveling… Constipation! 🤦‍♀️

✨A change in location can affect your gut micro biome. Be sure to travel with a probiotic to keep your gut flora on track.

✨Sitting for long periods during travel times can affect gut motility. Walk if you can after meals, it’s great for balancing blood sugar too!

✨The stress of travel can have an effect on the gut . Magnesium helps with sleep, digestion and keeping things moving.

Working on adjusting to time zones, choosing high fiber foods ,a probiotic , magnesium digestive enzymes and getting steps are all helpful. @mineralmoon has a digestive enzyme with senna for a bit of extra support.

Be sure to save this post for future reference and follow @thefulfilledpharmacist for more pharmacist inspired posts.

This post is informational only and not medical advice, please consult a medical professional before starting any supplement routine. ❤️

This Varley Athleisure Set has definitely been my go to outfit for vacation!

It’s stylish, COMFORTABLE. , can be dressed up or down and is definitely a compliment magnet! Available in NUMEROUS colors- I suggest checking out on the Varley Site or Amazon.

Traveling in menopause?

Pack these first! As a pharmacist, I know what we pack on vacation in menopause can make or break how we feel when vacationing.

Stripes Beauty has you covered!

✨ The Full Monty Body Oil with Vitamin C for a gorgeous summer glow.

✨Vag of Honor Hydrating gel for comfort and hydration. Feminine dryness in menopause can cause irritation, overactive bladder and recurrent UTIs, something no one wants on vacation!

✨The Cool Factor- calming and cooling facial mist- enough said- we all could use a little spritz when our internal temperature turns up while we are out and about!

Follow along and stay tuned for more pharmacist tips to feel your best on vacation and all year long!

My favorite peptide that allows my skin to act younger … and it’s not an injection!

As a 61-year-old pharmacist, I’m fascinated by the science behind peptides—and one of my favorites for healthy aging skin is OS-1 from @oneskin!

Here’s why:

✨ Helps support collagen biosynthesis pathways for firmer-looking skin

✨ Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing epidermal thickness

✨ Supports skin’s natural repair mechanisms by reducing senescent ( zombie) cells

Ok - at 61 , I’m all in! I’m dedicated to my skin care routine so I’m willing to be consistent for a healthier-looking appearance over time

Think of it as giving your skin a science-backed signal to act younger, by supporting the way healthy skin functions.

As a pharmacist, I love ingredients backed by research, not hype and I’m looking for products that allow me to feel my confident best.

Have you tried skincare peptides yet? I’d love to hear! #oneskincommunity

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

Over 50% of women will experience this in menopause and if using a GLP-1 , this is even more frustrating!

After counseling patients on constipation for 38 years, these are the supplements I wish more women in menopause (and GLP-1 users) knew about.

If you’re taking fiber, drinking plenty of water, and using a probiotic but still struggling to stay regular, this may be why…

Fluctuating hormones can cause over 50% of women to experience constipation during menopause ( decreased progesterone can slow down colon muscles and decreased estrogen also slows down GI transit) and GLP-1 medications can make it even worse.

Here’s what I suggest:

✨ Magnesium- A menopause essential. Magnesium can support relaxation, sleep, and help keep things moving naturally.

✨ Digestive Enzymes-

As we age, digestion changes. Digestive enzymes may help support digestion, reduce bloating, and improve regularity. @mineralmoon has a digestive enzyme blend that also contains senna for those times you need extra support.

✨ Prebiotics

Think of these as food for your probiotics. Without enough prebiotic fiber, your probiotic may not work as effectively. @nationhealthmd has a great prebiotic with XOS, artichoke root, chicory root and apple pectin.

Before reaching for another laxative, make sure you’ve addressed the foundations first.

Midlife ladies-don’t pass by these 3 pharmacy products . I recommend them all of the time!

✨ Fluctuating estrogen can cause more migraine headaches. BC powders or Goody’s powders absorb right into your bloodstream alleviating headaches quickly. I gave up using migraine medications several years ago after being introduced to these powders.

✨ Decreased estrogen can also increase muscle aches and soreness. Theraworx with magnesium and herbs make this product a winner.

✨Our collagen decreases by 50% in our 50’s. If you are like me and forget to use collagen powders, check out Biosil with CH- OSA that allows your body to produce its own collagen.

✨Bonus- Prelief- I get such positive feedback on this product that helps reduce acid and is helpful for overactive bladder, painful bladder and digestive issues.

Things I thought were ‘healthy’ at 50 … that I’m no longer doing at 60!

I’m all about a healthy and ageless lifestyle but I’m also listening tuning in to what works for me.

✨Long fasts-I love the health benefits of cellular rejuvenation from long fasting periods. However; I they do not work for me. I wind up with low blood sugar and increased cortisol. I now do a digestive reset overnight for 12-14 hours but if I am very hungry before bed I will include protein before bedtime.

✨ Over supplementing - I’m definitely in my supplement era but don’t need to try every supplement out there. My GO TO’s are a probiotic, digestive enzymes, Magnesium, Omega 3’s and Quercetin for inflammation. Back to listening to my body and watching for signs of low blood sugar ( supplements that balance blood sugar can do this for me ) and bladder irritation ( I have a painful bladder diagnosis, many ladies with overactive bladder symptoms can have symptoms with green tea extract and other stimulants too).

✨ Counting Macros- I felt I was overeating when I was counting macros and I was! Now I just make protein the star of the show and eat more intuitively ( stopping when I’m full and eating when hungry).

✨Pushing myself to get in 10,000 steps per day even while exhausted - this no longer makes sense to me. I’m focused on training properly with a weight bearing exercise program and getting in movement every chance I get but if I’m tired, I rest. I know my body needs that too!

How about you? What have you given up as well? ❤️

The Viral Pepcid and Allegra trend in Menopause and the natural alternatives for ladies who want that too!

In perimenopause, estrogen doesn’t decline in a smooth straight line. It fluctuates A LOT!

Those hormone swings can activate mast cells , cells in your body which release histamine.

And histamine symptoms coupled with menopause symptoms can cause:

anxiety
flushing
insomnia
headaches
racing heart
reflux
bladder urgency
bloating

At the same time, progesterone often drops first, losing some of its calming effect on the nervous system and mast cells.

It has been a recent trend for women to use antihistamines like Allegra or Zyrtec which crosses the blood brain barrier but may cause drowsiness and H2 blockers like Pepcid to manage symptoms.

There can absolutely be a time and place for medications, however; If you are looking for a natural approach that may help support histamine balance and mast cell stability:

Check out quercetin-often thought of as a natural antihistamine and a great antioxidant and helpful for inflammation too. It’s a great overall midlife supplement.

Ginger also helps block histamine , has a soothing GI effect but not lowering stomach acid which can affect the absorption of nutrients. You can easily incorporate this into a tea or look into capsules.

Many women do not realize the correlation between histamine and midlife.

Be sure to check with a medical professional to see if any of these options are right for you!

I learned this bladder pain hack from my mom and grandmother, not in pharmacy school!

Baking soda ( Sodium Bicarbonate)in water is an old time remedy for antacid use .

When I was younger and experienced bladder pain ( I do have a painful bladder- Interstitial Cystitis diagnosis) , my mom would always give me baking soda in water, she learned this from her mom too!

Many women can also experience symptoms of overactive bladder after eating acidic foods like oranges, tomatoes , tomato sauce or coffee. Prelief is a fantastic supplement to help reduce acid in foods.

However; in a pinch or to alleviate bladder pain , you can try baking soda in water- per package instructions.

Caution with high blood pressure and check with your doctor to see if this is right for you ( also be sure to check that you do not have a UTI).

Be sure to pass this along to someone who may want to see this too and comment Shop if you want to check out Prelief as well ( it’s now considered a medical food for those with a painful bladder diagnosis).

My pharmacist approved supplements for faster recovery after a day at the medspa for lasers or filler.

Vitamin C is often recommended post - recovery which is great for skin healing, inflammation and recovery but there are other fantastic supplements that I highly recommend too to look and feel your best after an aesthetic treatment.

Here’s what I also recommend:

✨Quercetin - additionally helpful to reduce inflammation

✨Arnica — bruising support topically and orally. The A Method has hydrocortisone too to reduce redness and inflammation.

✨Bromelain — very helpful to break down proteins associated with swelling and inflammation

✨Zinc - improved healing, effectiveness and collagen support. You can start this before a Botox treatment as studies ( while small) do show zinc levels are also needed to improve take and longevity of Botox treatments as zinc is a cofactor for the toxin to bind to nerve endings.

Collagen supplementation can be helpful afterwards to have continued skin benefits. If you forget to add collagen powder to your daily routine try Biosil with CH- OSA to assist your body in making its own collagen.

Avoid Omega 3’s before hand and other supplements that can cause blood thinning and increase bruising.

✨Save for your next Medspa aesthetic treatment!

Always follow your provider’s post-procedure guidance and consult a physician before starting any supplement plan.

✨ Full disclosure, at 60, I’ve had Botox once and experienced a migraine afterwards so not my treatment of choice but I have had micro needling and laser treatments. I do love using my at home @nira_laser too ( LISAKING10) and use it daily!

$Ladies let’s have some real talk. I’m a pharmacist, and I’m all for over-the-counter options. I’ve recently seen these Over the Counter Products shared here on Instagram… I would never share without letting you know these warnings first. ✨ Nasal decongestant sprays- can cause rebound congestion if used beyond a few days. I’ve seen patients take YEARS to be able to come off of these medications due to congestion and then needing to continue medications. ✨ OTC sleep aids - these may lead to next-day grogginess and are on the BEERS list for medications not appropriate for seniors due to confusion, possible falls or bleeding. More importantly I stopped taking these years ago myself as they aren’t ideal for long-term cognitive health. ✨ OTC products for digestion and reducing stomach acid- can impact nutrient absorption over time when used regularly. They can also be linked to risk of bone fractures. None of these are “bad” products but just should be used under the supervision of a medical professional within a certain time frame. This is the kind of information I believe should always come with recommendations and sometimes the those sharing these products do not know the full story. Check out my favorite alternatives here! #healthyaging #pharmacistrecommended #healthyover50 #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40$
