Alzheimer's is something very close to my heart. I watched my grandmother become someone she wouldn't have wanted to be, and it was heartbreaking for our family. So this episode means a lot.

Have you ever been technically doing nothing, sitting on the couch, at dinner with friends, lying in bed, while your brain runs through everything you can't forget? That's the mental load, and today's episode is all about it.The mental load of motherhood isn't the physical work of cooking, cleaning, and driving. It's the invisible layer underneath: the remembering, the anticipating, the planning, the checking, the worrying. I share the research showing this isn't just a

2026/09/21

Today we're getting into something nobody wants to talk about and everybody should: poop. I promise it's one of the most useful conversations we'll have, because your bowel movements are one of the clearest windows into your health, telling you about your hydration, your nutrition, how well you're absorbing nutrients, and how your gut is functioning day to day.I start with the question everyone asks: how often should I actually be going? Then we get into the tool I pull up constantly

Ashley Madsen is one of our favorite guests, and after our peptides episode sparked a flood of questions about sex, desire, and libido, we had to bring her back. This one is refreshingly honest. We start by untangling three words that get used interchangeably but mean very different things: libido, desire, and arousal. Then we walk through the stages of a woman's life and how desire shifts through each.We get into the science without shame and why the single most powerful "treatment"

Some of the best connections happen by accident. I met Becca Medvin during a car meditation at a wellness event. I'd climbed into her car to escape the heat and left feeling calmer than I had in ages. So I asked her on the show. Becca is a meditation and yoga teacher rooted in the Himalayan tradition, with a decade of study at the Clairvoyant Center of Hawaii and a passion for breathwork, flower essences, and herbalism. As she puts it, all your answers already exist within you, these practices

A year ago, Dr. Sarah Avila did my eyelid surgery, and the questions haven't stopped since. So I finally brought her on to answer them. Dr. Sarah Avila is the board-certified oculoplastic surgeon who performed my own upper eyelid surgery, and after all the questions that experience generated, I knew I had to bring her on.

We first met Geri Del Vento when we were hunting for a space to record this very podcast, and hers was so beautifully designed we couldn't stop talking about it. Geri is a Venezuelan-born, Miami-raised creative whose path wound through dance, church environments, and motherhood before landing in interior design, and she brings real warmth and intention to everything she touches.We get into something I care about deeply: the connection between your environment and how you feel.

I've been a fangirl of Ashley Madsen's work for a while, so getting her on the show was a real treat. Ashley is a double board-certified physician associate, international speaker, and educator in functional medicine, longevity science, and performance optimization.We start with NAD and Ashley explains why the real story is far more nuanced than "we lose it with age, so replace it." We get into why the body degrades NAD in the first place, why testing NAD is so tricky, and why the

I met Dr. Teresa Chamorro at our perimenopause premiere, and afterward everyone said the same thing: bring the psychologist back. So here she is. Teresa is a clinical psychologist specializing in sleep and women's reproductive mental health, supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, loss, the postpartum period, and menopause.We start with something that isn't talked about nearly enough: postpartum mental health. We get into why postpartum depression and anxiety carry so much shame, why

My Operations and Brand Manager Alex is back, and this time we didn't stick to one topic. We talked about circadian rhythm and why morning people and night owls are both just wired differently, how we each build habits around our own energy instead of against it, and how to use tools like the Oura ring without letting them override what your body's already telling you.We got into stress, mindfulness, parenting, and the ongoing search for purpose. And we closed on the theme of the week in the

I've read all the habit books and stumbled my way toward what works, so sitting down with someone who studies behavior for a living was a gift. Sarah Welsh is a board-certified behavior analyst, and this conversation reframed how I think about change entirely.Here's some of what we get into:Why willpower isn't the answer, and what actually is and how to start a habit when you hate the very thing you're trying to do.

So many questions have been coming in lately about perimenopause, HRT, what to do, and when to do it from patients that I have yet to answer. This episode is dedicated to answering every single one of them. When should you consider starting hormone therapy, and how do you actually raise it with your provider? Often the first sign that brings a woman in is simply not feeling like herself: disrupted sleep, new anxiety, feeling on edge. That early shift frequently traces back to declining

This episode is close to my heart in more ways than one. Bestselling author, speaker, and the creator of the Soul-Led Living podcast Nikki Novo and I go back to childhood, so sitting down with her in Miami felt less like an interview and more like a long-overdue conversation between two women who took very different paths to the same place: helping people listen to themselves.We talk about what intuition really is, why so many of us are afraid to hear it, and how to tell the difference between your

Most of us feel it: the slow, heavy drop in energy and focus that arrives in the early afternoon. In this episode, I break down what is actually behind the post-lunch dip and why it lands for almost everyone around the same time of day. I explain the two systems that overlap in the early afternoon. The first is your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that has not yet reached its peak wake signal at midday. The second is sleep pressure, the steady buildup of adenosine that makes you drowsier the

We cover what 40+ years of research actually shows, the difference between GHK and GHK-Cu, the human topical studies that support its use, the gaps in the data on injectable use, the labs to monitor (especially copper and zinc), and how it compares to free

Some of my favorite conversations start in the DMs, and this one is no exception. For this episode of The Rever Rundown, I sat down with Dr. Jason Pencek. He’s a chiropractor, nurse practitioner, and founder of Fountain Wellness in Chicago. He's one of the most generous voices I've come across in the peptide and functional medicine space, and the conversation that unfolded was one of the most candid and clinically rich I've had on the show so far.We talked about Dr. Pencek's path
