    Send us Fan Mail Have you been feeling more bloated, puffy, or inflamed lately and wondering why your body doesn’t seem to respond the way it used to? Today, we’re talking about a system that often gets overlooked: the lymphatic system. I’m joined by John Ossipinsky, also known as LymphMan, to break down what the lymphatic system does and how everyday habits like sitting for long stretches, slouching, and not getting enough movement may affect lymph flow. We’ll talk about signs people often associate with congestion, why movement and deep breathing matter, and a simple shoulder exercise you can try along with us.

    196: The small habit that sparked a 100-pound weight loss with Megan Gaul

    Send us Fan Mail In this conversation, I talk with Megan Gaul about her experience with emotional eating and the small, gradual habits that helped her change her relationship with food. Megan shares how a therapist's simple suggestion to drink an extra glass of water each day helped her see that she could follow through on a commitment to herself. That first step became a starting point for food journaling, movement, and lasting changes. We discuss responding to stress without relying on food alone, making room for favorite foods, finding activities that bring fulfillment, and lowering the practical barriers to cooking. Megan's approach is compassionate and realistic: start with what feels doable, build confidence through practice, and choose changes that support the life you want.

    191: Creating Energy and Reclaiming Your Health with Tim James

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m talking with Tim James, host of Tim Talks Energy and founder of Chemical Free Body. Tim shares the health crisis that changed the direction of his life, including severe digestive issues, painful skin problems, low energy, and an emergency appendectomy while traveling in Peru. We talk about how processed foods, poor nutrition, and chronic stress affected his health and what inspired him to take a more active role in his healing journey. We also talk about creating more energy in midlife, becoming more intentional about the foods we eat, shopping for simple ingredients, finding local farmers, and building supportive health communities. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion about the connection between physical healing, emotional stress and nervous system regulation. Tim explains why nutrition is only one part of the healing process and why we also need to look at the stressors and relationships affecting our bodies. Tim shares practical ideas for reading labels, choosing nutrient dense foods, reducing processed ingredients, and creating daily habits that support better energy and deeper rest. He also explains how he uses his Organic Energy formula and the protocol he recommends to his community.
