    371: Perimenopause Explained: Sleep, Stress, + Hormone Shifts | Dr. Mariza Snyder

    In this episode, I’m talking all things self-care, stress, and navigating perimenopause without losing your mind. We cover mini screen breaks, getting outside, building morning and evening routines that actually stick, and how movement with friends can be a total game changer. I also chat with Dr. Mariza about sleep struggles, hormone shifts, and practical ways to feel more grounded and energized every day. Plus, I share my go-to rituals: red light masks, acupressure mats, cozy teas, and sacred “me time, ”that keep me sane while juggling work, kids, and life. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

    370: How Loonen Is Rethinking Bottled Water Quality | Clara Sieg

    We all know water is essential, but most of us don’t stop to think about what’s actually in the bottle. In this episode, we explore the subtle details that affect taste, hydration, and overall wellness, from mineral balance to carbonation levels, and why they matter more than you might think. It’s not about perfection or overcomplicating your routine, it’s about understanding what makes water truly work for your body. Whether you’re curious about sparkling water, looking for healthier everyday choices, or just want a cleaner, better-tasting sip, this conversation gives you practical insights and fresh perspective. You’ll walk away thinking differently about what’s in your glass and how small changes can make a real impact on daily life. → Check Out Loonen: http://www.loonen.com/kelly → Leave Us A Voice Message!

    Fertility Is a Health Signal, Not a Deadline | Dr. Natalie Crawford

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Natalie Crawford to have a conversation every woman deserves to hear sooner. We talk about fertility through a completely different lens, not as a last stop after things go wrong, but as a powerful reflection of whole body health. From the pressure to push through burnout to the confusing, often incomplete information women are given about their cycles, this episode is not about quick fixes or fear based timelines, it is about clarity, agency, and asking better questions. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

    In this solo Q and A episode, I’m answering your most asked questions about how I actually support my body day to day. I walk you through my real morning routine, how I’m moving right now, why heavy lifting matters for body composition, and how I fuel workouts with protein, carbs, and whole foods without blood sugar crashes.

    365: Menopause Reset: Fasting, Sleep, + Functional Fitness Tips | Dr. Mindy Pelz

    I’ll be honest, menopause used to feel like something I would deal with later, distant and a little intimidating. This conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz completely reframed that for me. We talk about menopause as a neurological and metabolic reset, not a decline, and why so many women feel raw, overstimulated, or suddenly done with people pleasing when estrogen drops. Dr. Pelz explains what’s happening in the brain, why that shift can feel uncomfortable at first, and how it often signals clarity, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How can women boost energy during menopause? → What’s the best exercise for postmenopausal health? → How do sleep and light affect menopause symptoms? → Can intermittent fasting help during menopause? → How do lifestyle changes replace lost estrogen?
