Ep. 251 Hormone Health 101

Vanessa G Fitcast ·

2025/11/24

If your energy, mood, weight, or cycle feels off, your hormones are already trying to tell you why. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down something that feels confusing for so many women: hormones. Most of us only hear about hormones when something starts going wrong — our energy crashes, our cycles change, our thyroid acts up, or our weight stops responding the way it used to. And because it feels overwhelming, we try to fix the surface symptoms without ever understanding the deeper systems

If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I’m talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don’t-need-rest mindset. But now your body feels like it’s pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I’ve been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty, I’m giving you a simple, practical

2025/11/10

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I’m sharing one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as both a coach and a client: you can’t build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation. I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense

What if your “food sensitivities” weren’t really the problem—but just the message your body’s been trying to send you? In this episode, we unpack what most food sensitivity tests get wrong and why the MRT (Mediator Release Test) is one of the few tools that can actually reveal what’s really inflaming your body. In today's episode, we'll share my personal journey of years of bloating, fatigue, and restriction—before finally discovering how MRT testing offered real answers instead of endless

Ep. 245 How to Reduce Bloating by Eating MORE Food

Vanessa G Fitcast ·

2025/10/13

What if the reason you’re bloated isn’t because you’re eating too much, but because you’re not eating enough? In this episode, we dive into the surprising truth about how eating more food, especially the right kinds in the right amounts, can actually reduce bloating, improve digestion, and help your body finally feel calm and regular again. For many women, undereating or intermittent fasting seems to help at first. You feel “lighter” and less puffy. But over time, that same strategy can backfire,

Have you ever felt like stress was just baked into your life? That no matter what you did, your job, your family, or your schedule would always keep you stuck in survival mode? I’ve been there. For years, I told myself, “I’ll always be stressed,” and it left me trapped in a cycle of burnout, resentment, and health struggles. What I’ve learned is that real healing, whether it’s from weight loss resistance, hormone imbalances, gut issues, or autoimmune conditions, can’t happen until the nervous

Ep. 241 How to Support Yourself When Life Feels Heavy

2025/09/15

If live feels extremely heavy right now, you're not alone. I once had a conversation with a mentor around this topic about what to do when life is just heavy. Sometimes we’re weighed down because we aren’t managing our thoughts well. Sometimes it’s because we’re in environments that don’t serve us. But other times, life is just heavy and no amount of mindset work or environment shifts seem to fix it right away. In those moments, the best thing we can do is support ourselves until the heaviness

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing weight, regaining it, and then starting over again, you’re not alone. Today we’re unpacking yo-yo dieting. Why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to finally break free.

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren’t random; they’re your body’s way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance. Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we’ll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on
