If your body feels like it’s stuck in stress mode no matter how “healthy” you try to be, your mindset might be the missing piece. In this episode, we’re breaking down four common mental blocks that keep your hormones out of balance… and simple mindset shifts that can help you finally feel more at home in your body. We’ll talk about how perfectionist thinking can actually keep your nervous system on edge and how focusing on small daily habits (à la James Clear’s 1-degree plane shift) can create

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately as our following and show has grown such as: “What actually is a functional health approach to weight loss?” “Are labs like the GI Map or DUTCH test worth it?” “What do I even do with the results?” If you’ve ever thought, “I eat clean. I work out. I track my food. And yet… nothing’s changing,” this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I open up about what I’ve learned after years of doing everything “right” and still feeling inflamed, exhausted,

Why is it that so many high-performing women, those who train hard, eat clean, and juggle intense work and family lives, still feel puffy, stuck, and exhausted no matter how “healthy” they are? In this episode, we unpack a surprising hormonal pattern hiding beneath the surface: your body might be actively shutting down the very system you rely on for energy and fat loss.

2025/05/26

This week, we did something I’ve never talked about publicly before: a 72-hour water fast! But before you picture weight loss gimmicks or punishment, let’s set the record straight: this was a functional health experiment rooted in curiosity, not restriction. Inspired by Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz, I timed this fast with my Power Phase (Days 1–10 of my cycle) to align with rising estrogen and maximize the benefits. In this episode, I walk you through the “why” behind this advanced

2025/05/12

Is the "just be consistent" advice getting old? By now, you've heard this advice at least a million times—from entrepreneurs, athletes, experts, coaches, and even humble newsletter writers. And they're all absolutely right. Consistency is the difference maker. The one common thread behind every major success story. But here's the problem: No one ever tells you how to be consistent—and let’s be honest, it’s easier said than done. Life gets chaotic. Motivation fades. Discipline wavers. Consistency

Are you intrigued by this week's title? That title is called a hook. A hook is something that gets your attention because it opens a loop in your brain, and gets you to keep reading/watching/listening until that loop is closed. Why do certain reels on Instagram get you to pause and watch them through? Because there is text or video or something that hooks you in by opening that loop in your brain. This little-known psychological phenomenon is called the Zeigarnik effect, coined by Dr. Bluma

At one point I cried to my doctor because I was just so frustrated…. I thought I needed to eat less, be stricter, exercise harder but none of it was working. In fact, I found myself gaining weight, looking puffier, and feeling more exhausted the harder I tried. Does this sound familiar? "You're just being lazy. It's all in your head" is what I kept telling myself and that only made things worse mentally. It wasn't until I dug deeper into my hormone health and found the root cause I was able to start

Even with all the biohacking tricks in the world and dialed in morning routines, you are still human and you won't feel 100% every single day. This is the 50/50 of life I like to refer to.

I’ve felt restricted around all different types of eating so I get it... I’ve had clients who I give the same protocol to and one person says “this is too restrictive” and another person says “this is great”One thing I’ve really learned over the years is that restriction is a feeling, not a fact.And it comes down to our own thought patterns, which can be influenced by our beliefs and past experiences. There are things I used to find restrictive- like not drinking alcohol, limiting caffeine- that are

We lost a sweet family dog very unexpectedly this past week and it got me thinking a lot about life and how perceive our expectations... A lot of tears, frustrations, and other emotions throughout that morning and a lot of my thoughts came back to the expectations or misexpectations we put on life circumstances. Although Stella was older, we always forgot just how old she was because of how young and spry she always SEEMED. And in comparison, the other family dog, Levi—who is 2 years older than her—
