If you’ve tried everything—from doctors to diets to detoxes—and still feel exhausted, inflamed, or just off... this episode is for you. Because what if the real reason you’re not healing isn’t your willpower... it’s that no one’s actually gotten to the root of what’s going on? In this episode we’re chatting with Carrie Drinkwine, a regenerative health expert, root-cause specialist, and the founder of the Institute of Regenerative Health. After healing herself from multiple autoimmune conditi...
If you’ve ever peed a little when you laughed—or if sex has started to feel more painful than pleasurable—you might be dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction… even if no one’s ever told you that. Pelvic floor issues are way more common than you think, especially for women over 40. So why aren’t we talking about them? Well, today we are. We’re going to be chatting with Christina Walsh, a licensed physical therapist and the co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler, where she specializes in holistic pe...

Okay, let’s be honest—when was the last time you really thought about your dental work? Probably never. But what if I told you that old filling, root canal, or even just skipping floss isn’t just about your teeth—it could actually be what’s messing with your hormones, draining your energy, and keeping you stuck? Today’s episode is going to blow your mind… and maybe have you calling your dentist. (Or looking for a new one!) In this episode we are chatting with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a trailbl...
Okay, let’s be honest—confidence doesn’t always come easy, especially in midlife. Between the career pivots, the body changes, and the whirlwind of life, it’s easy to feel like we’ve somehow lost our spark. But what if confidence isn’t something you're either born with or not… what if it’s something you can actually build—one intentional step at a time? And what if reinvention isn't just possible at this stage of life—but actually easier because of everything you've already overcome? ...
This summer I spent almost a whole month eating my way through Europe–pasta, pretzels, gelato, french fries–all the things I would normally avoid. But when I finally came home, I hadn’t actually gained any weight. It’s pretty crazy, especially when I realize that five years ago one little cheat meal would leave me three pounds heavier and spiraling with guilt for weeks. But the difference isn't willpower—it's metabolic flexibility. And once you understand what that actually ...
If you’re trying to get healthy, lose weight, fix your hormones, or heal your gut—but you’re still buying meat from the grocery store—you might be missing the most important piece of the puzzle. Because what you eat matters—but what your food ate (and the soil it was grown in)? Believe it or not, that matters even more. Today’s guest is going to explain exactly why—and once you hear it, you’ll never look at your plate the same way again. ---------- Check out Seven Sons and use coupon c...
For the first time ever, I'm inviting you to join me behind the scenes as I plan and execute my most powerful Quarterly Sprint of the year — and design your own right alongside me. Join me for The Finish Strong Project HERE. ---------- It’s easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year. It’s that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz. Everyone’s talking about resolutions, so you do too. And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summ...
Ever feel like your brain just won’t shut off—like the anxiety is constant, sleep is a struggle, and your mood is all over the place? You’ve tried meditating. You’ve cut the caffeine. You’ve even taken the supplements. But what if the real problem is that your brain’s brakes aren’t working? Today we’re diving into GABA—what it is, why it’s so often ignored, and how you can actually fix it without relying on a pill that doesn’t work. We’re going to be chatting with Dr. Scott Sherr, a Board-Cer...
I’m not quite sure where this year has gone, but here we are, already saying goodbye to summer. And whether it was your healthiest summer yet, or you found it hard to get out of vacation mode, there’s nothing quite like a change in season to bring fresh motivation and sometimes, a much-needed reset. A lot of people like to save their goal-setting and resolutions for January, but I love to do it seasonally. Because why only focus on STARTING the year strong, when you can end strong too? And th...
Ever look in the mirror and think, “Ugh, why can’t I just feel better about my body?” You’re not alone. But what if that inner criticism wasn’t the enemy—but a clue? What if those thoughts were actually your body’s way of asking for something deeper? Today’s conversation is going to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about body image—and show you a completely different way forward. ---------- You can find Deb at bodyimageinsideout.com, or on Instagram, and can get the book, Bo...
You're doing everything "right"—eating less, moving more, cutting calories—but that stubborn scale refuses to budge. You spend your whole day thinking about food but trying not to eat it. It used to be so easy. You’d cut back for a few days and be right back in your skinny jeans. But now it feels like your metabolism is just…broken. And here’s the bad news: Your metabolism IS broken. But there is some good news too. It doesn’t have to be broken forever. But it will mean taking a differe...
If you’ve ever felt like your body is falling apart for no reason—and no doctor seems to know why—this is one episode you can’t miss. Because what if the real problem isn’t you... it’s your environment? Things like hidden mold, heavy metals, or even parasites could be silently wrecking your health. And chances are, your doctor isn’t even looking for them. ---------- You can find Dr. Neil Nathan at neilnathanmd.com or on Facebook And get his book, The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide --------...
You know that feeling when you're trying to eat healthy and you're totally crushing it...and then out of nowhere, you're hit with this irresistible need for something sweet? And suddenly, it's ALL you can think about—that donut you saw in the break room, or the pint of ice cream in your freezer, or the leftover halloween candy you hid from your kids. Welcome to sugar addiction and—news flash—even if your cravings aren't for sweet things, but other high carb foods like bread or pasta or potato...
Okay, real talk—when was the last time you actually had fun in the name of your health? Because let’s be honest: most of us have been conditioned to think that getting healthy means struggle, sacrifice, and willpower. But what if the real secret to looking and feeling younger was actually... more laughter, more pleasure, and more endorphins? Yeah. Today’s episode is gonna blow your mind—in the best way. ---------- You can find Dr. Gowri at drgowrirocco.com and check out her book, Growing Youn...
Here's the honest truth about trying to lose weight when you're a mom in perimenopause: Your kids are watching. And I don't mean they're judging you—I mean they're learning from you. Every diet you go on, every time you beat yourself up about your body, every separate meal you make for yourself while feeding them something different—they're absorbing it all. And if you're like me, that realization might just be the wake-up call you need to finally ditch the diet mentality an...
What if the key to protecting your brain—and even slowing diseases like Parkinson’s—wasn’t found in a pill, but in what you eat? Today’s guest has spent her entire career studying the connection between metabolic health, cognitive decline, and chronic illness. And what she’s discovered could change everything you think you know about how we age, and how much control we actually have. ---------- You can find Dr. Melanie Tidman and the studies she and her team have conducted at Colorado Parki...
Have you ever felt like your body is working against you? Like no matter what diet you try or how hard you exercise, the scale refuses to budge—or worse, the weight keeps creeping up?

Today, we're diving deep into the five biggest hormone culprits that are keeping you in fat-storage mode—and exactly what you can do to flip the switch back to fat-burning mode. ---------- To learn more and get starte...
Have you ever found yourself halfway through a bag of chips or cookies and thought, “What am I even doing right now?” It’s like you’re on autopilot—but underneath that mindless munching? There’s usually something much deeper going on. Old stories, buried emotions, childhood patterns we didn’t even realize we still had. And if you’ve ever felt like food is your comfort, your enemy, and your escape all at once... this episode is for you. ---------- Find Isabel here: Isabel-Chiara.com Instagram...
