    4 HR AGO

    The Feminine Longevity Shift: How Misalignment Shows Up in the Female Body (and What Actually Restores It)

    In Day 2 of The Feminine Longevity Shift free live masterclass, I unpack why so many women are doing "everything right". Yet still feel inflamed, exhausted, or disconnected. This isn't about more discipline or optimization. It's about recognizing how misalignment shows up in the female body and what actually supports long-term vitality, hormonal resilience, and healthy aging. Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support. I TALK ABOUT:  05:45 - Connecting women's longevity to intuition and low-grade stress you don't notice until you feel it 07:10 - Recognizing the systems that train women to override their needs and intuition 13:10 - Using a full-body scan to treat your symptoms like feedback, not "normal aging" 21:45 - Hormone burnout, resentment, and loss of pleasure through the sacral/womb lens 27:30 - Linking self-worth and productivity to metabolism, inflammation, and "proving energy" 33:20 - Emotional labor as a real physical load that shows up in the shoulders, chest, and immunity 41:20 - Breaking the overthinking loop and returning to the body when you live "in your head" 51:25 - From survival identity to thriving identity with three reflection prompts RESOURCES: Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support.

  2. The Feminine Longevity Shift: Why Women Age Faster When They're Out of Alignment

    1 DAY AGO

    The Feminine Longevity Shift: Why Women Age Faster When They're Out of Alignment

    In this free live masterclass, I connect the dots between women's healthspan, chronic stress, and the biological cost of living out of alignment. Even when your habits look "healthy."  I talk about why the longevity conversation has been dominated by male-centered frameworks, and what happens when women override their intuition for years (in work, relationships, family dynamics, and daily decisions). This is an invitation to stop treating intuition like a "soft" topic—and start seeing it as a health input that shapes inflammation, hormones, nervous system regulation, and long-term vitality. Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support. I TALK ABOUT:  10:05 - Setting the intention for women's health, longevity, and intuition 13:40 - How "doing everything right" can still accelerate aging 15:20 - Why women live longer but spend more years in poor health 17:45 - Linking chronic stress to inflammation, epigenetics, and hormone disruption 19:15 - A simple self-check to measure how aligned your life feels right now 25:35 - Distinguishing body-led intuition from self-led intuition 27:20 - How overriding needs trains the nervous system into threat mode 30:55 - Guided prompts to identify what your body and life actually need right now 46:25 - Reframing longevity as safety, not force RESOURCES: Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support.

    Why "Calm" Feels Impossible for Women: Trauma, Sensory Overload, and the Real Path Back to Safety with Dr. Holly Duckworth

    Dr. Holly Duckworth (PhD) shares how she went from mechanical engineering → psychology → deep hypnosis work (QHHT), and why "higher self" doesn't have to be woo. Especially when you understand how fear, trauma responses, and nervous system dysregulation run the show. We also get super practical: How to recognize dysregulation (hello, sensory sensitivity + road rage), why "therapy doesn't work" for some people until the body is regulated first, and how gratitude + nature can become daily tools for coming back to safety. Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support. WE TALK ABOUT:  02:15 - The moment Dolores Cannon's work cracked open a new reality 04:25 - What a QHHT session looks like and why it can be so transformative 10:05 - Using gratitude to interrupt fear and access a calmer inner state 14:20 - Signs your nervous system is dysregulated (and why it's not your fault) 17:40 - Why regulation is like rehab: Gentle, consistent training over time 23:55 - The exhale technique that signals safety to your nervous system 25:45 - The modern motherhood overstimulation loop (and what helps) 29:45 - The hidden trauma so many women dismiss as "normal" 31:00 - Turning daily stress (traffic, grocery lines) into regulation practice 34:40 - How to rant without getting stuck in scarcity and fear 41:00 - Why grounding works (and what nature does to your perspective) 45:30 - Dr. Holly's book trilogy on purpose, forgiveness, and gratitude RESOURCES: Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support.

    NAD, Senolytics, Stem Cells: The Longevity Stack That Might Actually Move the Needle with Dan Pardi of Qualia

    Modern longevity culture can make "the perfect protocol" feel like the answer—especially when you're a busy mom who wants more energy now and a longer healthspan. Dan Pardi from Qualia (code: BRITTANY) breaks down what's changed in longevity science over the last 25 years—and why "healthspan" (feeling strong, clear, and capable for longer) matters more than simply living longer.  We get into the real trade-offs of fasting, protein, and vitality, plus a clear explanation of what stem cells actually do, why they decline with age, and how "stem cell wellness" differs from clinic-based stem cell therapy. Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support. WE TALK ABOUT:  00:00 - Why longevity finally feels "hackable" 03:55 - NAD explained and why it became an early longevity focus 10:10 - The fasting trade-offs that can crush vitality and metabolism 14:25 - Healthspan vs lifespan and what "living well longer" really means 24:45 - The non-negotiable foundations that beat any "longevity stack" 26:55 - What "stem cell wellness" is (and what it's not) 36:25 - Exosomes explained and why they're everywhere right now 44:25 - The truth about "plant stem cells" in skincare 51:30 - Senescent "zombie" cells, inflammation, and the case for senolytics RESOURCES: Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support.

    Biohacking Won't Save You If Your Life Is Misaligned: The Missing Longevity Conversation with Oluwatobiloba

    Modern women are doing the most—tracking, supplementing, optimizing—yet still feel tired, inflamed, and strangely off. And sometimes the issue isn't another protocol. It's the life you're living. Queen Oluwatobiloba explores women's holistic wellness through a lens we don't talk about enough: alignment. We unpack how your environment can mirror your internal season, why "being stuck" drains your vitality, and how discomfort is often the clearest sign you're choosing something true. We also go into motherhood as an initiation (and why mom guilt is so biologically sticky), plus the missing longevity conversation: no supplement can override the relationship, job, or lifestyle that keeps your nervous system in survival mode.  WE TALK ABOUT:  07:40 - Womb power as the courage muscle for radical change  12:45 - Differentiating sensing from feeling for clearer decisions  14:00 - Nature archetypes as a map for energy, boundaries, and burnout risk  19:35 - Motherhood revealing your true nature and unmet support needs  22:20 - Sacrifice, support, and why moms hit depletion so fast  26:35 - Releasing guilt and shame as a hormonal + energetic reset  29:40 - Womb connection practice to identify what you're carrying  38:30 - When "fixing the symptom" hides unresolved root patterns  40:45 - Longevity through value alignment and living by your blueprint  45:00 - Why biohacking can't override a misaligned life  53:55 - Choosing discomfort now to protect vitality later SPONSORS: Join me in Costa Rica for Optimize Her, a 5-night luxury women's retreat in Costa Rica with yoga, healing rituals, and biohacking workshops—only 12 spots available.

    Modern success can humble your nervous system fast. Especially when your life looks "perfect" on paper, but your body feels flat, restless, or quietly done.

    Detox Culture Is Lying to You: Why Cleanses Can Make Women Worse (and What to Do Instead) with Eva Hooft

    Modern motherhood can make "detox" feel like the answer—especially when you're exhausted and convinced you just need the right protocol to get your body back. Eva Hooft unpacks why the do-more, cleanse-harder mindset can keep women stuck, and how real healing starts with safety, not force. We talk detox through a nervous system + mineral lens: how stress shuts down digestion and drainage, why aggressive "pulling" can backfire when you're depleted, and what it looks like to rebuild your terrain with simple, foundational support. We also get real about the emotional side—when wellness becomes obsession, why slowing down can be the most powerful biohack, and how simplicity helps you get your energy and resilience back for the long game.
