There has been a long developed stigma surrounding herbs and their uses in our lives. Common marketing surrounding herbal remedies is often stamped with confusing labels like, “Not FDA approved” and “If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician.”
What society has forgotten is that these herbs are the plants that our creator gave to us on this planet. They all have a purpose in our lives, from healing to beauty and everything in between—and they shouldn’t be considered dangerous if you are in tune with your body, whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or just wanting to seek more natural remedies. 

My guest in this episode is Arielle De Martinez, and she shares such a refreshing and freeing perspective surrounding herbs and their uses in our everyday lives. Coming from a background as a hairstylist, Arielle began to wake up to the reality that surrounds the beauty and healthcare industries. Shampoos and products that she was using in her client’s hair were loaded with the fragrances and endocrine disruptors that we are all striving to get away from when leading a more holistic life. 

This inspired her to found her own beauty company that centers around whole plant herbalism and the benefits that women can gain from products that are truly natural, not just marketed that way. She and I also dive into the dirty little secret behind essential oils and why they shouldn’t be used in our everyday lives. 

If you’re considering leaning into herbalism in your everyday life and replacing some of the over-the-counter drugs and beauty products that plague our society with herbs, this episode is for you! I know you’re going to love it. Tune in today!

Media has always had the power to shape our outlook on life and even how we choose to behave. I recently rewatched Sex in the City and identified how it so wrongfully shaped the definition of femininity in the late '90s and early ‘00s, by portraying empowered women operating under the guise of masculine energy.
Along with this, which arguably gave an extra boost to the feminist movement, we have a new spin on the definition of femininity that is coming from what is portrayed on social media between the boss babes, wild feminine, and trad wife movements. 

Women have made the mistake of adopting femininity under the guise of what the male anima thinks it should be, which completely derails the power of our true femininity. We have to take control of our own energy and step into the feminine power that has been given to us, and the male energy will respond to that.

This episode is full of so much information surrounding how we interact with the men in our lives, how the men in our lives shape our male anima, and how Yin and Yang energetics are supposed to interact. Tune in now! 

In this episode:
[00:46] Welcome to The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[07:29] The different groups of “femininity” that are portrayed on social media. 
[12:54] What is misunderstood to be femininity is actually feminism, which is damaging to our true feminine energy.
[14:03] The background on Anima & Animus and what those terms mean.
[18:40] The difference between Yin and Yang energy dynamics.
[26:19] The masculine behaves in response to the feminine.
[28:31] The misconception of true femininity and women who shape themselves into what they think the men in their lives want.
[38:46] Feminine and masculine energy are not roles that we play.
[42:26] We cannot heal until we begin to mother ourselves and care for ourselves.

Today’s episode is jam packed with meaningful conversation surrounding the controversial topic of what it truly means to be a woman. It is no secret that society is desperately trying to erase what makes women different and unique, and my guest - Isabella Malbin - joins me in this episode to discuss all that is being stolen from us under the guise of transhumanism.
The definition of a woman comes down to the physiology that sets us apart. As Isabella so clearly states, we are human first, then gender second. It is literally the second most important factor as a dimorphic species. While gender roles may vary across the globe or even across neighborhoods, there is nothing that changes the underlying physiology that connects us all as women. 

Female erasure is occurring in the brainwashing that is being fed to us as a solution to the problem of unwanted pregnancies. Birth control causes the equivalent of chemical castration in women and the true impacts of these medications aren’t discussed with us in the depth that they should be before such a commitment is made.

We talk about the impact that gender ideology has on our power as women, the controversy of societal beauty standards, and about the lie we’ve been fed that our value is derived from what we achieve. Join me in this episode where we dive deep into these topics and so much more. 


In this episode:
[02:20] Welcome my guest today, Isabella Malbin.
[04:28] Isabella’s experience with becoming a Doula and how gender ideology was introduced in that process.
[06:22] The story behind how Isabella discovered that gender ideology and birthing are completely incompatible. 
[09:42] The slow waking that Isabella experienced while working with women and helping them advocate for their own health. 
[13:00] How the concept of transgenderism waters down both the male and female physiology. 
[19:21] The role that birth control has played in how women relate to their own physiology. 
[26:51] Are women more powerful than ever, or is our power being taken from us?
[30:00] The difficulty of finding a political home when we hold the types of views that we do. 
[32:11] The benefits of having children at a younger age and the misconception of fulfillment from funneling our self-worth into a career or accomplishment.
[39:44] We are robbed of the opportunity to watch our elders age without chemical intervention.
[50:08] Why does the language we use to describe women matter so much?
[52:03] The real end goal of the transhumanist takeover.
[56:14] Thanks for joining me on the Fully Nourished Podcast today!

It’s finally here! I hope you are ready to peel back the layers of intermittent fasting and the misconceptions about it that have been plaguing female physiology and tricking us into starving ourselves. Buckle up because here we go! 
When we consider intermittent fasting, we see big forces at play in our metabolism. The truth is that women (or anyone, really) were not built to fast as a normal practice. The practice of fasting causes too much metabolic damage in our systems.
When your body is forced into a season of scarcity, it will do everything it can to conserve energy and calories for safety purposes. So the fasting practice that you’re hoping will help you shed some weight is actually telling your body to hold on to every pound it can. 
There’s so much more that we dive into in this episode about the real impact that intermittent fasting has on your metabolism and your overall health, and I know you’re going to love it. Tune in today! 
In this episode:
[00:02:11] Is intermittent fasting really a healthy practice for women to partake in? 
[00:06:58] Common misconceptions surrounding the benefits of intermittent fasting
[00:18:45] Metabolic restoration and the role that hormones play in metabolism. 
[00:21:22] The differences between male and female physiology and the impact fasting has on each.
[00:27:28] The process the body follows when in a state of famine and the role it plays in our physiology. 
[00:32:27] How does the process of gluconeogenesis actually work? 
[00:41:24] Intermittent fasting and misconceptions surrounding weight loss. 
[00:44:05] The behavior of our ancestors surrounding intermittent fasting and where fasting shows up in nature.
[00:47:44] How does intermittent fasting impact your circadian rhythm? 
[00:52:21] The impact of intermittent fasting on eliminating toxins and metals from your body.
[00:58:40] What is a more strategic way to focus on long-term metabolic health or even weight loss? 
[01:05:39] Thanks for joining me today!

I am so excited to share this episode with you! There are so many fad diets and health myths present in the health and wellness space. In my chat with Kaya today, we are going to go through many of the top health and wellness trends and discuss not just why they are not helpful to female physiology but how they are actually damaging our cells and our bodies. 
After struggling for most of her life with chronic illnesses that doctors were unable to find the root cause of, Kaya has finally discovered that her nutrition and her physiology had so much to do with her underlying issues and that listening to her body’s needs was the best solution to her problems. 

This sent Kaya down the path of trying every health trend possible to try and find the thing that was going to “fix” her. Kaya shares her experiences on a paleo diet, a low-carb diet, a meat-only diet, a raw meat diet, and her experience with intermittent fasting. None of which seemed to help improve her condition at all. 

I know you’re going to love the information in this episode. We talk about so many topics and share so much information that can help you better understand what these health fads truly mean for your metabolism and what the better alternatives are for female physiology. Tune in today! 


In this episode:
[00:02:56] Welcome to the show, Kaya!
[00:03:39] Kaya shares her background and the health issues she struggled with throughout her life.
[00:06:00] She talks about her experience with the paleo and low-carb diets and how they didn’t really change her overall health.
[00:08:57] How she was doing everything “right” but not reaping any benefits, and how her thyroid issues were overlooked by physicians.
[00:12:39] Menstrual cycles, hormones, and the impacts they play on our health. 
[00:14:00] Kaya shares her experience with the carnivore diet.
[00:17:51] Outside sources are not the voice for what is best for your body.
[00:28:04] Trusting your intuition to nourish your body and how the state of our physiology impacts how we receive certain information.
[00:38:31] The restrictions of many diets or using natural methods to treat symptoms don’t align with the root causes in your physiology and metabolism.
[00:45:37] Common dogmas and misconceptions that are still widely accepted in the health and wellness space and how it all evolves around metabolism. 
[00:55:35] Why is intermittent fasting not a good idea for your metabolism?
[01:08:49] Misconceptions surrounding PCOS and the impact of metabolism.
[01:16:32] The topic of women’s eggs, the myth that we are born with all eggs we will ever have, and supporting research on the topic. |
[01:30:49] The role that metabolism plays in infertility and menopause. 
[01:35:40] Thank you so much for joining me today, Kaya! Where can my audience find you?

I’m excited to dive into the insights and feedback of my podcast audience today! I love the collaborative community that this podcast nurtures, and thank you to all of my listeners who submit write-ins for feedback and questions to dive deeper into discovering your feminine radiance.
One of the topics that came through that piqued my interest and that I thought warranted some discussion was fasting and how it doesn’t really work with female physiology. I could talk for an entire episode on this topic, and I will soon, but today I give the cliff-notes on fasting, how it is significantly different for women, and how it can actually keep us from stepping into our true potential.

Nourishment is a gateway. If your cells are not nourished, you will not be able to progress beyond basic survival. In order to connect to your feminine experience and expand your perspective in life, you have to move beyond a state of survival. 

Another big topic that has so much division in the health and wellness space is dairy intolerance. There are so many misconceptions surrounding dairy, and the first one is lumping all dairy products into one category when they are molecularly different foods based on where they come from and how they are processed. 

I also touch on the topic of “healing pounds” and how it feeds into your overall nourishment. Putting on a few pounds when we begin to regulate our metabolism is normal, but we have to shift to being more intentional about what we are eating and how frequently we are eating to avoid impacting our quality of life negatively by becoming overweight in the process.

This episode is full of so much information on topics that are prevalent in our community and I know you’ll find some value here. Tune in with me today! 

In this episode:

[03:00] Fasting and the impact it has on women’s health. 
[09:24] The role of progesterone in our metabolic processes and nutrition. 
[10:13] Getting out of the way of your physiology to expand your perception and life experience.
[17:21] Common misconceptions about dairy intolerance. 
[21:14] How different people tolerate dairy and how to re-introduce it into your diet if you choose to do so. 
[26:58] Misconceptions surrounding “healing pounds.” 
[29:14] How restrictive diets can set you up for failure in nourishment and make you more prone to binging unhealthy cravings.
[30:46] Gaining weight in a pro-metabolic approach can correspond with not eating intentionally.
[34:39] Fat is protecting you from your environment.
[36:41] The balance between being too lean and being overweight.
[38:28] Taking personal responsibility for the calories we are consuming.
[40:29] Getting into movement and lymph work and utilizing fat in a sustainable way.
[42:15] The power of eating sensibly and the balance between intake and output.
[48:29] Thanks for tuning into the Fully Nourished Podcast today!
