    Why Your Body Is Designed to Heal: A Marine Scientist's Approach to Curing Chronic Lyme Disease with Alayna Bellquist

    What if your body already knows how to heal - and the only thing standing in the way is you?  That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Alayna Bellquist, marine scientist, speaker, and author of Resilient by Nature: A Memoir of Curing Chronic Lyme Disease.

    Your Energy Blueprint: How Human Design Can Transform Your Health, Hormones and Healing with Emma Dunwoody

    If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel exhausted, out of alignment, or like something just doesn't fit - this episode might be the missing piece. Kylie sits down with Emma Dunwoody, Behavioral Specialist and author of Human Design Made Simple (Penguin Life), to explore how understanding your unique energetic blueprint can completely shift the way you approach your health, your habits, and your life. This isn't about astrology or personality tests. Human Design is a system that blends modern science and ancient wisdom to map how your energy actually operates - how you process stress, make decisions, manage your nervous system, and maintain balance. And as Emma explains, when you stop fighting your design and start working with it, everything gets easier. In this episode, Emma and Kylie explore how Human Design connects to energy, healing, and whole-person wellness - including why so many women are exhausted not because they're doing too little, but because they're doing it all wrong for their type, how your energetic blueprint affects your nervous system, stress response, and emotional wellbeing, and why consistency, discipline, and productivity look completely different depending on who you are. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and welcome 00:45 Emma's personal story: depression, panic disorder, and the journey to human design 06:37 What human design actually is and how it differs from personality profiling 09:22 Deconditioning: removing the masks we built to stay safe and receive love 12:26 How childhood conditioning from ages zero to seven shapes who we become 14:45 Human design, parenting, and raising kids in alignment with their design 15:51 How human design connects to women's health and breaking repeated patterns 17:30 Energy types explained: sacral vs non-sacral beings and what that means for your body 19:52 Why health advice is not one size fits all and how to find what works for you 20:51 Can your type change? Life cycles, saturn return, and the shift in your early 40s 25:01 Strategy and authority: the two most important things to understand in your chart 28:00 Profiles explained: what your two numbers reveal about how you move through life 29:29 How knowing your design builds confidence in decisions and health choices 31:31 Why 90% of the global population is designed to wait before they act 34:50 Alignment over hustle: why doing less of the wrong things gives you more energy 36:14 Redefining consistency for women and why the 24-hour model is designed for men 40:56 Perfectionism, dropping the ball, and why starting over is not failure 43:00 Human design in business: building around your energy instead of someone else's system 46:10 Raising teenagers with human design and letting go of parenting guilt 50:51 Trusting yourself in an era of information overload 52:49 Building the muscle of internal authority and sovereign decision-making About our Guest Emma Dunwoody is a Behavioral Specialist with over 20 years of experience helping people understand how their mind, body, and energy are uniquely designed to work together.

Kylie breaks down the real reason so many women struggle with low energy, fatigue, and that frustrating wired-but-tired feeling: your gut.

    The Science of Aging Backwards: Stem Cells, Peptides & Longevity with Dr. Jeff Gross

    If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to slow down aging - not just on the surface, but at the cellular level - this episode is for you. Kylie sits down with Dr. Jeff Gross, a neurosurgeon turned regenerative medicine pioneer and founder of ReCELLebrate, to talk about everything from the foundational habits that protect your cells, to the cutting-edge world of stem cells, exosomes, and peptides. What we loved most about this conversation is that Dr. Gross doesn't just geek out on the advanced stuff - he keeps bringing it back to what your grandmother already knew. Sleep. Move your body. Eat your vegetables. And yes, eat your pomegranates. We also got into something I haven't talked about on the podcast before: mitochondrial health and why it might be the missing piece when it comes to your energy, your hormones, and even your brain. If you're in your 30s or 40s and feeling like something is just off, this episode might give you some answers. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction & welcome  03:28 Why aging is really a cellular inflammation problem  08:00 The foundational pillars: diet, sleep, exercise, and why grandma was right  10:05 Why you can't skip the foundations, even with access to cutting-edge treatments  12:00 Calorie restriction vs. intermittent feeding: what the science actually says  15:30 Muscle mass as the longevity organ and why body composition matters more than weight 16:23 Mitochondrial health: what's really happening inside your cells  20:38 The gut-pomegranate-urolithin A connection  22:56 Plant exosomes: why your resveratrol supplement probably isn't working  26:42 Dr. Gross's proprietary exosomal longevity supplement  31:43 Stem cells 101: from pluripotent to multipotent and how they're used clinically  36:00 Why exosomes are now replacing stem cell injections in practice  38:44 How stem cell-derived exosomes are sourced and screened  39:40 Beyond joints: all the ways exosomes are being used  40:17 Peptides 101 and why they've become the most popular entry point  40:42 GLP-1s, muscle loss, and the newer generation of peptides  42:36 The anti-inflammatory peptide stack: BPC-157, TB-500, KPV & GHK-Cu  45:31 Mitochondrial repair peptides for energy, brain fog, and post-viral recovery  46:34 How Dr. Gross personalizes peptide protocols for each patient About Dr. Jeff Gross Dr. Jeff Gross graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in biochemistry and molecular cell biology and earned his MD from George Washington University School of Medicine in 1992.

    Testosterone in Women: The Missing Hormone Nobody's Talking About with Dr. Mohit Khera

    Most conversations about testosterone leave women out entirely - and according to Dr. Mohit Khera, that's a serious problem. Women produce five times more testosterone than oestrogen, yet it remains the most overlooked hormone in women's health. In this episode, we sit down with one of the leading voices in testosterone science and sexual medicine to break down why the "PET triangle" (progesterone, oestrogen, and testosterone) is incomplete without all three hormones, and what women are losing by not understanding their own androgens. We cover everything from testing correctly, to the surprising impact of the birth control pill on SHBG, to why sleep is the most underrated testosterone tool you have. If you've ever been told your hormones are "fine" but still feel off - this episode is for you. Timestamps: 00:10  Why testosterone has always been seen as a "male" hormone - and why that's wrong  00:42 Women have been using testosterone for over 80 years  02:36 How to test properly - total T, free T, SHBG, and what mimics low testosterone  04:38  What markers to run and the "four pillars" that make everything work better  07:25 What causes low testosterone in women (it's not just ageing)  09:30 PCOS and the testosterone paradox  10:08 The male weight-loss/testosterone connection - and why women are different  11:49  GLP-1s, muscle mass loss, and what's coming next 1 2:09 The pill, cortisol, gut health, and other overlooked causes  13:11  Stress, cortisol, and the direct impact on arousal and sexual function  17:08  The gut microbiome, endocrine disruptors, and declining testosterone levels  18:00  Why testosterone is the single best marker of men's health  20:08  Sexual dysfunction as the gateway to men's health  21:46  Why testosterone is still a scheduled drug - and the push to deregulate it  23:31  Is it easier for men to raise testosterone through lifestyle?  24:37  The research gap: what we still don't know about women  26:23  Why pharma companies haven't pursued a women's product - and what's changing  29:30  The case for testosterone in bone density and why it's not in the conversation  31:11  Exercise recommendations: 160 minutes cardio + 60 minutes weight training  34:07  DHEA, ashwagandha, zinc, boron, and supplement quality concerns  36:13  Mediterranean diet, anti-inflammatory eating, and why extremes don't work  36:59  Sleep and testosterone: why the first part of your sleep cycle matters most  40:19  The downward spiral - and how to reverse it  41:06  The Testosterone Project: resources and advocacy for men and women About our Guest With an extensive clinical background and a patient-first approach, Dr. Khera is especially passionate about bringing testosterone into the women's health conversation, where research has historically lagged and access remains unequal. He translates complex science into practical insight without the promotional spin - something that is rare, and needed. 🔗Learn more about Dr. Khera Meet Kylie: Instagram: @within.nutrition Apply for 1:1 coaching here.

Meg Langston, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of Empower Formulas, joins the show to share why so many women are chronically depleted, how iron is one of the most misunderstood markers in women's health, and why creatine might be the supplement your body has been missing all along.
