    EP 434 Your Body Makes Fructose During Stress Which Causes Weight Gain with Chris Mearns

    What if fructose isn’t only something you consume? In this fascinating conversation with Chris Mearns, we explore the surprising connection between stress, fructose production, metabolism and weight gain including the idea that under certain conditions, the body can actually make fructose from glucose. We dive into why this matters for metabolic health and why understanding the body’s response to stress may be an important piece of the weight-loss puzzle. In this episode, we discuss: • How and why the body can produce fructose internally • The connection between stress and fructose metabolism • How metabolic dysfunction can change the way the body handles energy • Why our biology may respond differently depending on whether we are in a “feast” or “famine” environment • The fascinating hummingbird vs. bear comparison and what it can teach us about energy storage • The role of exercise and energy expenditure in metabolic health • How polyphenols may influence these metabolic pathways • Why weight gain and metabolic dysfunction are more complicated than simply “eat less and move more” • And what this emerging research could mean for people struggling with weight and metabolic health This conversation completely changed the way I think about fructose and I think you’ll find it fascinating too. So if you’ve ever wondered why your body seems to fight against weight loss, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Chris Mearns is the founder of LIV3 Health and the creator of the Fructose Model, a systems-based approach focused on how fructose metabolism may influence cellular energetics and contribute to chronic metabolic dysfunction.

    EP 430 Nervous System Dysregulation: The Missing Piece In Perimenopause with Adele Wimsett.

    Could your perimenopause symptoms be caused by more than just hormones? In this episode, I sit down once again with Adele Winsett for a powerful conversation about one of the most overlooked aspects of women's health: nervous system dysregulation. We explore how nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, and adrenal health may contribute to fatigue, anxiety, burnout, and other common perimenopause symptoms. While much of the conversation around perimenopause focuses on declining hormones and hormone replacement therapy, many women are also living in a constant state of chronic stress. Over time, this can overwhelm the nervous system, reduce resilience, and leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or simply "stuck." Together, we explore why supporting the nervous system is just as important as supporting hormones, and why healing often requires looking at the whole picture. In this episode, we discuss: • Why hormones aren't the whole story in perimenopause • What nervous system dysregulation is and why it matters • The difference between fight, flight and freeze • How chronic stress and adrenal burden can affect how you feel • Common symptoms women experience when the nervous system becomes overwhelmed • Why resilience changes as we age • The pressures of modern life and how they impact women's health • The role of oxytocin, pleasure, connection and joy in supporting nervous system health • Why some women become less tolerant of additional stressors during perimenopause • Adaptogens and lifestyle strategies that may help support recovery • My own personal experience navigating grief, loss and nervous system healing If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, emotionally flat, anxious, exhausted or like you've lost yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that your body isn't working against you—it's asking for support. ✨ Healing isn't just about balancing hormones. It's about helping your body feel safe again.

    EP429 Cancer PT.4: The Celluverse, Breast Cancer Causes, Metabolism, & Treatment with Alannah Connealy.

    In Part 4 of my Cancer Series, I sit down with Alannah Connealy, author of The Celluverse, for a thought-provoking conversation about breast cancer, metabolism, chronic stress, trauma, hormones, and the body’s remarkable ability to adapt and heal. We explore why cancer is rarely the result of a single cause and instead discuss the many factors that may contribute to disease over time, including metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, chronic stress, hormonal health, nutrition, environmental influences, and lifestyle. One of the most powerful parts of our discussion examines the relationship between major life stressors and breast cancer. We explore why many women report experiencing significant emotional trauma before a diagnosis and discuss the biological effects that chronic stress may have on metabolism, immune function, and overall health. We also dive into: • Breast cancer and metabolic health • The role of chronic stress and inflammation • Hormones, excess estrogen, and the body’s internal environments influence on cancer • Water therapy, hot baths vs. cold, and why warmth may be more healing supportive • Sunlight, vitamin D, and UV exposure • Integrative cancer therapies, including mistletoe therapy • Conventional and complementary approaches to supporting health • Insights from Alannah’s book The Celluverse • The surprising parallels between The Celluverse and Susan Sontag’s Illness as a Metaphor And LOTS more. Whether you’re navigating a cancer diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in understanding the science behind health and disease, this conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of topics that are often overlooked. "Disease doesn't come out of thin air." Alannah Connealy is founder and CEO of Raena Health, author of The Celluverse book, and health researcher.

    EP 428 From Burnout To Healing : Faith, Hormones, & Finding Yourself Again

    In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Tabatha Barber to discuss the physical, emotional, and spiritual roots of burnout. We explore how chronic stress impacts hormones, gut health, sleep, mental well-being, and overall health—and what it really takes to heal. Dr. Tabatha shares her personal journey through burnout, motherhood, and building a successful medical practice while navigating the challenges of exhaustion, overwhelm, and recovery. Together, we discuss the importance of inner healing, restoring the body, addressing gut dysfunction, improving sleep, supporting hormone balance, and developing a strong foundation of faith. In this episode, we cover: ✔ What burnout really is and why so many women experience it ✔ The connection between stress, hormones, and adrenal dysfunction ✔ How gut health influences mood, mental health, and hormone balance ✔ The role of sleep in healing and recovery ✔ Why alcohol can worsen gut health, liver function, and estrogen dominance ✔ The habits and lifestyle changes that support true healing ✔ The importance of faith, purpose, and inner work during recovery ✔ How to begin finding yourself again after burnout If you're struggling with fatigue, hormone imbalances, stress, overwhelm, anxiety, poor sleep, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers hope, practical strategies, and encouragement for your healing journey. Dr. Tabatha Barber is a triple board-certified physician, two-time best-selling author, entrepreneur, and founder of the Fast to Faith® movement, a global mission dedicated to helping women heal their bodies, renew their minds, and deepen their relationship with God. After overcoming significant adversity as a teenage mother and high school dropout, Dr. Tabatha built a thriving medical career and discovered that true healing requires more than treating symptoms—it requires transformation of the body, mind, and spirit.

    EP 427 Your Thyroid Questions Answered | RT3, Hashimotos, T3 Dosing & more with Paul Robinson.

    In today’s podcast episode, I’m joined once again by thyroid expert and author Paul Robinson for a listener-led thyroid Q&A session. After our first thyroid conversation was so well received, I invited members from my Facebook community to submit their biggest thyroid-related questions, and we covered a wide range of topics surrounding hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, T3 therapy, reverse T3, thyroid labs, symptoms, body temperature, hormone balance, and more. Some of the questions discussed in this episode include: • Is reverse T3 testing important? • How low is too low for TSH? • Why do some people with Hashimoto’s struggle to convert T4 into T3? • What do high thyroglobulin and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies mean? • How can you support better T4 to T3 conversion? • Why do some people worsen on natural desiccated thyroid? • Can T3 dosing schedules change as healing occurs? • Can BHRT change thyroid medication needs? • Is there a connection between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and migraines? • Can you still have hypothyroid symptoms with a “normal” body temperature? • What markers can help identify reverse T3 issues when testing is unavailable? • How can symptoms, pulse, blood pressure, and temperature help guide T3 dosing? This conversation is educational, nuanced, and filled with practical insights for those navigating thyroid symptoms and thyroid treatment. Paul Robinson is the author of: • The Thyroid Patient’s Manual • Recovering with T3 • The CT3M Handbook Whether you are newly diagnosed, struggling despite “normal labs,” or wanting a deeper understanding of thyroid physiology and treatment approaches, I hope this conversation helps you feel more informed and empowered. Paul Robinson is a thyroid patient and thyroid patient advocate. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient’s Manual’. This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3). His newest book "Articles on Hypothyroidism" combines the best of what Paul has discovered on his 35 year thyroid journey.
