Sandy K Nutrition - Health & Lifestyle Queen
You’re not here to age quietly - you’re here to age powerfully.
Now in its sixth year, this podcast has become a grounded, trusted space for people who refuse to fade out in midlife and beyond. While the conversations center the experiences of women, the insights and tools are valuable for anyone ready to rise into their next chapter.
Hosted by educator and wellness advocate Sandy Kruse, the show blends science, self‑leadership, and soul - always with honesty, transparency, and education first. Sandy’s approach is rooted in real‑life longevity: the kind shaped by time‑tested wisdom, everyday habits, and the practices that actually support a vibrant, meaningful life. Modern tools are welcome, but never at the expense of integrity or common sense.
Most episodes feature Sandy’s own insights, frameworks, and lived experience, with occasional guests who bring genuine depth and value. This is a podcast built on discernment, not trends; substance, not noise.
From hormones to heartbreak, learning discernment and resonance, reinvention to resilience, to becoming the Queen of your own life, now is the time to learn, grow, and step into your power with clarity and confidence.
This is self‑improvement for anyone who’s done being underestimated - especially women in midlife who are ready to rise.

Episode 70 Level Up Your Meditation with Guest Ariel Garten of Muse
Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!
Episode 70 is out! Level Up Your Meditation Practice with Muse's Ariel Garten.
I've been meditating for about 4 years now pretty religiously and it's truly changed my life. I am more self-regulated, I sleep well, I make sound decisions...then there are all the studies out there to show other benefits including:
🌟In a 2012 study, researchers compared brain images from 50 adults who meditate and 50 adults who don’t meditate. Results suggested that people who practiced meditation for many years have more folds in the outer layer of the brain. This process (called gyrification) may increase the brain’s ability to process information.*
🌟A 2013 review of three studies suggests that meditation may slow, stall, or even reverse changes that take place in the brain due to normal aging.*
🌟Results from a 2012 NCCIH-funded study suggest that meditation can affect activity in the amygdala (a part of the brain involved in processing emotions), and that different types of meditation can affect the amygdala differently even when the person is not meditating.*
