    212. Why Your "Normal" Hormone Labs Are Keeping You Stuck

    Most women are told their labs are "normal." But normal isn't the same as optimal.  In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own recent lab work to show you exactly why reference ranges don't always tell the whole story. While my results would likely be considered "normal" by conventional standards, taking a closer look through an optimal health lens revealed several areas that desperately need support. We'll walk through both thyroid and sex hormone markers, discuss what they actually mean, and explore why subtle imbalances can have a profound impact on your energy, metabolism, mood, and ability to lose weight—especially during perimenopause and menopause. Whether you're feeling amazing or struggling to understand why your body isn't responding the way it used to, this conversation will help you think differently about your hormones and why testing can be such a powerful tool. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why "normal" lab ranges aren't synonymous with optimal health. • The thyroid and hormone markers every woman should understand. • Why getting baseline labs while you feel healthy can be one of the best investments in your future health. • How identifying hidden deficiencies or imbalances can help explain why you're feeling stuck. Your hormones don't have to be "bad enough" to deserve attention. The earlier you understand what's happening beneath the surface, the more options you'll have to support your health before symptoms become impossible to ignore. If you've ever been told, "Everything looks normal," but deep down you know something feels off, this episode is for you.  Want a second opinion on your lab work?  Schedule a free consultation and let's explore what your doctors may have missed: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule  Chapters (00:00:02) - Eat Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - The optimal range for thyroid hormones(00:06:31) - How to Get Your Testosterone Levels to Return to Normal(00:12:31) - The optimal range for medical care in the US(00:13:58) - Break the Cycle

    211. The 20/20 Project Q&A: Is This Right for You?

    After introducing The 20/20 Project last week, I've received some great questions about who this program is designed for, how it works, and whether it's the right fit. So in this episode, I'm answering the most common questions and walking you through the three types of women who will get the best results inside this program. We'll discuss: ✨ Why "I've tried everything" is often a sign that you're closer than you think. ✨ Whether this approach is right for women in perimenopause and menopause. ✨ The role of GLP-1 microdosing (and whether it's required). ✨ What makes this different from another diet or weight loss program. ✨ Why healing your metabolism requires more than calories, willpower, and restriction. ✨ Who is likely to thrive inside The 20/20 Project—and who probably isn't ready for this work yet. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, frustrated that your body isn't responding the way it used to, or wondering whether there's a more sustainable path forward, this episode is for you. The goal of The 20/20 Project isn't simply to help you lose 20 pounds. It's to help you stop fighting your body, heal the root causes keeping you stuck, and create results that actually last.

    210. The 20/20 Project: Stop Fighting Your Body

    For years, I've been asking one simple question: What if the weight isn't the problem? What if it's the symptom? In this episode, I'm introducing The 20/20 Project—a brand new 20-week metabolic healing experience designed to help women stop fighting their bodies and lose the next 20 pounds by addressing the real reasons the weight won't stay off. We'll talk about why traditional diets fail, why the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s often stop working in your 40s and 50s, and why lasting weight loss requires more than just eating less and exercising more. I'll also share the four pillars of my metabolic healing approach: sustainable lifestyle integration, nervous system regulation, hormone support, and strategic, personalized GLP-1 guidance. If you've ever felt frustrated by weight regain, convinced your metabolism is broken, or wondered why your body isn't responding the way it used to, this episode is for you. I'm also sharing details about the Founding Member launch, including special pricing, exclusive bonuses, and a chance to win a private 2-day VIP retreat experience with me!  Ready to learn more?

    209. GLP-1s and PCOS: Why It’s Working Better Than Birth Control Ever Did

    For years, we've treated PCOS like an ovary problem.  But what if the ovaries are simply where the symptoms show up?  What if the real issue starts with insulin, inflammation, and metabolic signaling long before cysts ever appear on an ultrasound? In this episode, we're taking a deeper look at why GLP-1 peptides have been so effective for many women with PCOS—and why their benefits extend far beyond weight loss. We'll explore the connection between insulin resistance, testosterone, irregular cycles, fertility challenges, and the metabolic dysfunction that frequently sits at the root of PCOS.  You'll learn why many traditional approaches focus on managing symptoms, while GLP-1s may be helping address one of the key drivers behind them. We'll also discuss why PCOS isn't simply a hormone problem or an ovary problem, and how understanding the body's interconnected systems can change the way we think about treatment and healing. Because when you stop focusing on the branches and start looking at the roots, the entire conversation about PCOS begins to change. If you're struggling with PCOS, weight loss resistance, or hormone symptoms and want a personalized approach, I'd love to help. Schedule a free consultation to explore what's driving your symptoms and what true healing could look like for you. www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule  Are you struggling to lose weight after trauma?  Join me for an all new, live workshop and learn what every woman should know about stress, metabolism, and lasting weight loss.

    Bonus: Food Noise, GLP-1s, and the Missing Piece No One Is Talking About

    Food noise isn't just about hunger. While GLP-1 medications can be incredibly effective at reducing appetite and quieting the constant thoughts about food, many people discover that the deeper struggle doesn't disappear when the cravings do. In this special replay from my presentation at the Nashville Health & Wellness Expo, we're exploring the missing piece that rarely gets discussed in conversations about weight loss, food freedom, and GLP-1s. You'll learn: Why food noise is about so much more than physical hunger How shame, diet trauma, and chronic restriction shape your relationship with food The hidden "Restrict → Binge → Regret" cycle that keeps so many people stuck Why medication alone doesn't heal the emotional patterns underneath overeating The key to creating lasting peace with food—with or without a GLP-1 If you've ever wondered why your struggles with food feel deeper than willpower, this episode will help you connect the dots between biology, psychology, and true healing. Because quieting food noise is powerful. But understanding why it was there in the first place is transformational. And when you're ready to take your health back into your own hands, so that getting dressed every day is a breeze, I'd love to help.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule to learn more.  Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - Food Noise and GLP1s(00:01:44) - Food Noise and How to Lose Weight(00:09:49) - How to Heal Food Noise Without Medication(00:17:53) - GLP1s and their place in your life(00:20:13) - Breaking Free From the Binge Eating Cycle

    208. GLP-1’s, Eating Disorders, and the Healing Most People Skip

    Most people aren't struggling with food, their weight, or habits because they lack willpower or nutrition knowledge.  They're struggling because years of dieting, weight stigma, body shame, and chronic stress have created a nervous system that no longer feels safe around food. True healing requires more than changing what you eat — it requires changing your relationship with food, your body, and how you talk to yourself.  Today's episode addresses the connection between GLP-1 use and eating disorders, why it's happening to some but not all, and how GLP-1's might actually help you HEAL parts of your diet trauma.  Keep listening to learn more.  And when you're ready to explore a customized approach to not just losing weight, but keeping it off long term, I'd love to explore if my 4-part process is right for you.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  Is your metabolism traumatized?  If you've experienced emotional, verbal, or spiritual abuse, the answer is likely 'yes.' This is a critical piece when it comes to weight loss, especially when you're 40+, because abuse triggers a cascade of repercussions in the body.  Learn more with my all new, free workshop: Your Metabolism Isn't Broken — It's Traumatized.  Get all the details here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/trauma Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - GLP1s and Anorexia(00:07:45) - Weight Loss on a GLP1 peptide(00:15:26) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle

    207. Your Metabolism’s Not Broken – It’s Traumatized

    If you feel like your metabolism suddenly stopped responding in your 40’s, this episode is for you. Because despite what you’ve been told, your body isn’t “just aging,” and the answer is NOT more restriction, more cardio, or more self-control. In this episode, we’re talking about the deeper reasons so many women struggle with weight gain, inflammation, cravings, exhaustion, and insulin resistance during peri/menopause.  And why the real issue often has far more to do with stress, nervous system dysregulation, chronic dieting, and emotional patterns, than calories, burpees, or running. We’ll unpack: Why your metabolism may feel “broken.” How trauma and chronic stress impact the body physiologically. Why weight gain is a symptom—not the root problem. The connection between inflammation, hormones, insulin resistance & emotional eating. And a more supportive approach to metabolic healing.  If you’re tired of fighting your body and ready to understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface, this conversation will change how you see everything.  ️ I’m also hosting a live workshop called: “Your Metabolism Isn’t Broken—It’s Traumatized” You can register here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/trauma Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - Does Your Metabolism Break?(00:02:36) - How to Heal Your Metabolic Dysfunction in Your 40s(00:07:12) - How to Heal a Trauma- Affected Body(00:12:36) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle

    206. Abuse, Autoimmune, & GLP-1’s (what your doc doesn’t know)

    What if your autoimmune condition didn’t start in your gut… but in your nervous system? In today’s episode, we’re talking about the connection between emotional abuse, chronic stress, autoimmune disease, hormone dysfunction, and the surprising role GLP-1 peptides are beginning to play in helping women regulate inflammation, insulin, and hormones, so that they finally feel “normal” again. Because here’s the truth: Many women are being treated for symptoms, while the root cause is never addressed. We’ll cover: How chronic emotional stress changes the body biologically. Why cortisol dysregulation can drive immune dysfunction. The connection between trauma, metabolism, and weight gain. What most doctors are not taught about nervous system dysfunction. The nuanced truth about GLP-1’s beyond weight loss. This episode will completely change the way you think about health, healing, and the physiological impact of trauma on the body.  Curious to see if a microdosing protocol is right for you and your goals this year?  Schedule a free consultation to learn more about how I guide clients through lifestyle changes, emotional regulation, hormonal testing, and peptide therapy to decrease inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate hormones, and ultimately create the life and body you crave.  www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule Chapters (00:00:02) - Eat Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - Attacking the body with abuse(00:01:24) - Why is it so common for abuse survivors to have autoimmune diseases?(00:11:15) - Autoimmune diseases and cortisol dysregulation(00:18:57) - Cortisol dysregulation and autoimmune conditions(00:22:51) - GLP1s and cancer(00:31:24) - It's Time to Break the Cycle
