    #593: The Missing Piece Nobody Talks About: How Your Liver, Digestion, and Nervous System Are Quietly Running (or Ruining) Your Results
    Jun 18 2026
    This is one of those episodes I usually reserve for my mentorship courses and the practitioners I train, so I'm really glad I decided to bring it to the show. There is so much noise right now on Instagram and TikTok about liver health and gallbladder health, but a 20-slide carousel can only go so deep. My hope is that hearing this explained — with real stories and analogies — actually moves you to explore your own digestive health in a meaningful way. In this episode, I cover: Why your liver, digestive system, and nervous system are interconnected — and what happens when one goes offline The constellation of symptoms that get dismissed as "just IBS" or "just perimenopause" (bloating, bowel irregularities, right-sided shoulder ache, mood swings, waking between 1–3 AM, and more) How your liver metabolizes estrogen — and what estrogen dominance really signals about liver load The two phases of liver detoxification, which nutrients support each phase (B vitamins, magnesium bisglycinate, glycine, NAC), and what happens when those phases become sluggish The gallbladder's role as the liver's partner — and why removing it without addressing root cause is a missed opportunity The gut–brain axis, the vagus nerve, and why 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut Beta-glucuronidase — why your gut microbiome is directly influencing your hormone balance Blood work markers to request from your doctor: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, ferritin, fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, and more Functional testing I recommend: comprehensive stool test, Dutch Complete, HTMA, and when to consider an OAT test Nutrition priorities: cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, fiber diversity, healthy fats, choline (please don't ditch the egg yolk), and eating in a parasympathetic state Supplement support for the liver, gut, and nervous system — including Hepato DR, L-glutamine, GI Revive, ox bile, calcium D-glucarate, and adaptogens Let's dive in!

  • #592: Let's Get Real About Changing Your Body: Client Case Study

    #592: Let's Get Real About Changing Your Body: Client Case Study
    Jun 15 2026
    My DMs have been flooded with questions from women trying to figure out what their bodies actually need — how many calories, how much protein, how to structure their macros. So I decided to turn it into a case study episode and share it here with all of you, because one woman's struggle is never just one woman's struggle. In this episode, I walk you through: Why the number the calculator spits out terrifies you — and how you unconsciously manipulate formulas until you land on a number you're already eating (and already not seeing results on) The multi-billion dollar wellness industry's role in conditioning women to under-eat, and why 1,200–1,600 calories is not a starting point — it's a myth A full case study: 42-year-old, 5'6", 160 lbs, perimenopausal, chronic yo-yo dieter — and exactly what I'd do with her step by step Why maintenance calories are almost always higher than you think (and why that's actually good news) The Zone-method macro split I start most women on: 40% carbs / 30% protein / 30% fat How to actually track progress — measurements over the scale, every time. (One client lost 12 inches while the scale barely moved three pounds.) The real metrics that matter: biofeedback, performance, sleep, hunger, recovery When to reduce calories, when to increase them (spoiler: more often than you'd think), and why I never slash protein My strength training framework for women 35–70: 4 days/week, lower body twice, upper body twice, why most women are doing warm-up sets and calling them working sets Zone 2 cardio, step count sweet spots, and why fat loss is a muscle preservation problem — not a cardio problem Realistic expectations: what 12 weeks of genuine compliance actually looks like Let's dive in!

  • #591: Why Smart Women Struggle to Grow In Their Business

    #591: Why Smart Women Struggle to Grow In Their Business
    Jun 11 2026

    This episode is for every woman who knows what she needs to do but still isn't doing it. Whether you're building a business, growing a practice, or trying to level up your health — if you've ever caught yourself saying "I just need more clarity/confidence/knowledge before I start," listen in because today's episode is a goodie!

    In this episode, I'm talking about:

    • Why the real problem isn't a lack of information — it's a lack of movement and decision-making

    • The sneaky ways we self-sabotage without even realizing it (perfectionism, overthinking, procrastinating on the "wrong" things)

    • How your nervous system can actually work against your growth — and what to do about it

    • Why confidence is the result of taking action, not the prerequisite for it

    • The upper limiting beliefs I personally had to break through when I moved my business entirely online

    • What perimenopause and identity shifts have taught me about reinvention in business and life

    • The question you should actually be asking yourself instead of "what else do I need to learn?"

    Let's dive in!
