The Art of Living Well Podcast®
Hosted by Marnie Dachis
Two integrative health practitioners help midlife women navigate hormones, burnout, and aging through expert interviews and science-backed advice.
This is a health podcast that acts as a translator and advocate for women navigating the often-confusing changes of midlife. The hosts, both integrative health practitioners, blend their own expertise on topics like creatine with interviews featuring doctors and authors to demystify subjects from mitochondrial health to medical self-advocacy. They specifically reject narratives of inevitable decline, instead offering actionable, science-based strategies for managing energy, hormones, and stress.
“Unlike broader wellness shows, it's hyper-focused on the physiology of midlife women, consistently translating complex science (like mitochondrial function) into practical advice and advocating for self-empowerment within the healthcare system.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The hosts typically begin by asking guests for their origin story—what personal or professional path led them to their current work. They act as audience surrogates, frequently asking guests to simplify complex scientific concepts, for example, "Can you explain mitochondrial dysfunction... in practical terms for women?". They use personal anecdotes to build rapport and make the guest's points more relatable for their listeners. Questions are open-ended and designed to elicit practical, actionable advice, often framed as "What would you suggest she do?". There is a clear emphasis on empowering the listener to advocate for themselves within the medical system.
A two-host format that alternates between co-hosted deep dives on a single topic (like a supplement) and expert interviews. The hosts are conversational and often use their own experiences to frame the discussion, creating a relatable, 'we're in this with you' tone. Episodes often close with the signature sign-off, 'Keep creating your art of living well.'
