Think your cholesterol numbers tell the whole story? Think again.🤔 In this episode, we flip everything you've been taught about LDL, statins, and total cholesterol on its head. From misunderstood lab values to the tests that could actually save your life, we're diving into what's really behind elevated cholesterol—and why "normal" results might not mean you're in the clear. If you've ever been to...

You're doing "all the right things"—eating better, moving your body, taking your supplements. But what if the real reason you're still feeling off has nothing to do with your habits… and everything to do with how you think ? 🧠🤔 In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the unseen beliefs that quietly sabotage your progress. 😮 These aren't the typical mindset tips you've heard before. T...

Feeling anxious but don't know why? You've tried everything—yet that constant worry and stress still won't go away. What if the root cause of your anxiety isn't just in your mind—but in your gut? Yes, you heard that right. The connection between your gut and your brain is far deeper than you might think. In this eye-opening episode, we're diving into the hidden culprit that could be quietly fuelin...

Did you know that cortisol —your body's stress hormone—could be secretly sabotaging your health in ways you're not even aware of? 😫 What if we told you that it's not just about feeling stressed out, but that cortisol could be messing with everything from your energy levels to your waistline? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on cortisol and uncovering the surprising ways it impacts...

What if everything you've been told about metabolism after 40 is wrong? If you're eating clean, working out, and doing all the right things —but still feel like your body's working against you—this episode will flip your perspective for good. It's not that your metabolism has slowed… it's that it's adapted. And once you understand how (and why), everything shifts. We'll show you exactly what to do...

Ozempic? Wegovy? Semaglutide is everywhere— but is it really the weight loss miracle it claims to be? Or are we witnessing perhaps one of the biggest metabolic traps of the decade? Let's break down exactly how GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and others actually work, what's being overlooked (that you really need to know!), and why so many people are experiencing unexpected consequenc...

I'm so excited to be BACK after a long break from the podcast - and I have some surprising updates for you!  There's a reason why I chose this topic to revive our weekly visits (more on that inside!). A menopause wake-up call is what we need when everywhere you look, HRT is being touted as necessary for nearly all women. I call foul.  But, what's a reasonable approach? As women, we're given half-t...

It's a very real-world lesson that renewed my appreciation for something I teach all the time. And I got to see it work in real-time.  Click play and quench yo...

You tell yourself, "it will all be OK", because intuitively you know that's the "right" thing to say, and you really want to feel that way . . . OK with how it all turns out, regardless. But why doesn't that work a lot of the time? Why, even after you say over and over again, "it will all be OK", you DON'T FEEL OK? There are three reasons I believe we do this. Obsess about how something will or wi...

Yah, the title is a bit dramatic, but you've likely never considered this as ever being something that could be detrimental to your health!  Especially since our modern lifestyle more than embraces it. Not that it is the only thing - but if your stressor bucket (or stress baseline) is already near-full, this can definitely contribute to it overflowing and wreaking havoc on your hormones and your o...

So many people have seasonal allergies -  but,  so many do not ! What could be the difference? Might there be something - lifestyle behaviors - that could reverse allergies and allergy symptoms? This is exactly what we explore in this week's episode. I cover THREE ways to support the body naturally that could very well make allergies a thing of the past. Curious? Then join me and let's dive in! Al...

You want to STOP doing this or that - over drinking, over eating, under-exercising, whatever. And you tell yourself that you really need to stop . . . but despite the logic, you find yourself going directly against that logic. There is a really good reason why the brain does this, and a really "simple" way to fix it. And using the example of drinking a little too much - or more than you'd like - i...

Why is it that we (you?!) can have the BEST of intentions with starting an exercise plan, eating better - or even improving relationships - and no matter how well-intentioned and how successfully we start off, we find ourselves right back into our old habits? Actually, there's a really good reason for this. And a really easy way to create new habits without wrestling with your willpower.  Think ab...

No matter your goal, these five habits must be given attention on a...

It's embarrassing. As a sought-after health consultant I had a toxic stressor right under my nose and it wasn't even on my radar. That is, until about 8 months ago.  I've had breast implants for nearly 13 years and it turns out my body has been a saint in dealing with the toxicity. But, it's also been "talking" to me all along the way. Dropping subtle clues that something wasn't quite right.  I'll...

Have you heard of telomeres? Well, I had mine tested and I'll share with you what my results were (partial spoiler alert: It wasn't as good as I thought it would be). What are telomeres?? Not only will I explain what they are in this episode, but we'll take a look at what kind of insight they might have into your health and wellness.  Plus, if you haven't had an opportunity to get on the waitlist...

It comes up, in some form, at once a week - a question related to hypothyroid or the thyroid in general. But there is a lot of confusion around how to test it, and how it's connected to other organs and systems in the body. Fatigue, hair loss and hair thinning, low cold tolerance, constipation, and stubborn fat loss are symptoms that can have you running to the doc and asking, "can you check my th...

Seems simple, but this is truly one of the best little tools in your tool box. Why? It forces you to think about things outside the box. Especially when it's something that you "believe". And beliefs are nothing more than thoughts that we think, repeatedly. When we get "stuck" in a belief or thought process, we tend to just let it sit . . .  Whether that's how you eat, how you workout, or your tho...
