2026/10/05

If you've ever said "I just feel inflamed" but couldn't explain what that actually means, this episode is for you.Today, I'm breaking down one of the topics women ask me about constantly: chronic inflammation.We start by naming something that surprised a lot of people: inflammation is not the enemy, and your body needs it to heal. The real problem is when your body can't turn it back off, which is how a helpful acute response becomes the puffiness, brain fog, fatigue, and mystery symptoms so many

2026/09/28

If you could only run one lab test to figure out what's going on in your body, which one should it be?I used to make the same mistake many functional health practices still make: cherry-picking lab tests based on whichever symptoms are loudest. If you have irregular cycles, it seems logical to test hormones first, but that's like cleaning trash out at the bottom of the river without ever looking upstream at where it's coming from.In this episode, I'll explain why the gut sits upstream of nearly

2026/09/14

We tend to look at results as an overnight thing…“I have been on top of my health and habits for the last 3 weeks but still don’t feel much better… this isn’t working. This is too hard. I quit!”But yesterday Coach Elizabeth said “your results are the receipts from the last 100 days”While I don’t think 100 days is some magic number, I think the idea of expanding our time horizon to evaluate our results is really important.Rather than thinking about how you feel after a few days or a few weeks of a
