    #42 5 Everyday Habits That Disrupt Hormones, Even If They Seem Healthy

    If your hormones have felt "off," PMS has gotten louder, or your energy feels unpredictable — this episode is for you. In today's conversation, Michele shares 5 everyday hormone disruptors that many high-achieving women don't recognize as disruptors at all… because they often look like "healthy," responsible, normal life.

In this episode, we cover: Why hormone imbalance often comes from hidden daily patterns, not dramatic health mistakes The "healthy" habits that can quietly backfire hormonally How your nervous system and hormones are deeply connected The difference between discipline and deprivation when it comes to fueling your body Why high-achieving women often carry invisible hormonal stress Simple awareness shifts that can create real balance over time Free Resource: Know Your Body: Understand Your Hormones, Know Your symptoms Want to uncover what might be quietly draining your balance?

    #41 Environmental Changes for Long-Lasting Habit Change

    Why do healthy habits feel so hard to stick to even when you know exactly what to do? In this episode, women's health provider Michele Broad explains why environmental changes for long-lasting habit change are far more effective than relying on motivation or discipline alone. Instead of pushing harder, this conversation explores how your surroundings quietly shape your hormones, energy, stress levels, and daily decisions. You'll learn how your kitchen, workspace, and self-care setup influence cortisol, blood sugar balance, and nervous system regulation and how small, realistic environmental shifts can make habits feel easier and more sustainable over time. This episode is for high-achieving women who are tired of starting over, blaming themselves, and forcing routines that don't fit real life. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why willpower isn't the reason habits don't stick How your environment sends constant signals to your hormones The role cortisol and blood sugar play in consistency and energy How to design a kitchen that supports hormone balance Why clutter increases stress and drains focus How visibility impacts self-care habits Simple environmental shifts that reduce friction and burnout

    #38 How to Build Energy Into Your Day Like a Business System

    What if your energy didn't depend on motivation, caffeine, or pushing harder, but on systems that quietly support you every day?

    #37 Why Your Body Is Your Best Business Strategy

    What if the most overlooked asset in your business, career, or leadership wasn't another strategy, system, or productivity tool, but your body? In this foundational episode, Michele sets the tone for 2026 and introduces the philosophy behind the BioAligned Woman(™). Drawing from decades as a women's health provider and hundreds of real conversations with high-achieving women, this episode reframes health as a leadership advantage, not a personal side project. If you've ever felt successful on paper but exhausted in your body… this conversation will change how you think about energy, performance, and longevity. In This Episode, We Cover: Why women's bodies are not obstacles, but intelligent data systems How hustle culture clashes with female biology (and what to do instead) The hidden cost of ignoring energy, stress, and hormonal signals Why energy is the most important KPI most women never track How hormones, nervous system health, and leadership performance are connected What it means to lead with your biology instead of overriding it Key Takeaways: Your symptoms are feedback, not flaws Women do not operate on linear productivity cycles and shouldn't be expected to Burnout isn't a personal failure; it's a biological warning sign Regulated nervous systems create clearer, more sustainable leadership Health is not a maintenance task, it's infrastructure for success If this episode resonated, stay with us. This is the foundation for everything that comes next.

    #35 The Blood Sugar–Hormone Connection Every Woman Needs to Know

    The Blood Sugar–Hormone Connection Every Woman Needs to Know In today's episode, I'm breaking down why so many high achieving women are exhausted despite doing everything right sleeping 7 to 9 hours, taking magnesium, eating well, working out, staying hydrated and still waking up tired. The truth? Fatigue in your late 30s, 40s, and 50s is rarely a sleep problem. It's a blood sugar and hormone physiology problem, and almost no one is talking about it. This includes the often ignored link between blood sugar and fatigue, especially as women move through perimenopause. In this eye opening episode, I explain: why blood sugar instability triggers fatigue even with perfect sleep and how women's blood sugar balance shifts during perimenopause how estrogen fluctuation alters insulin sensitivity and makes energy more unpredictable why cortisol and blood sugar spikes from stress tank energy faster than sugar itself how progesterone and blood sugar regulation form the emotion triangle so many women feel in midlife how nighttime glucose crashes and night sweats blood sugar swings cause early waking how perimenopause fatigue is tied to subtle mitochondrial shifts most women feel long before any obvious period changes why stabilizing blood sugar is the number one hormone strategy for busy women and how it helps prevent the classic perimenopause energy crashes This episode will help you understand exactly why your energy feels inconsistent and what you can do this week to feel more stable, clear, and grounded in your body.
