    S2 EP9: The Scariest Thing About Halloween Isn't the Candy | Blood Sugar, Sleep & Insulin Resistance

    Halloween candy might not be the scariest thing you're doing to your body this season. 👻 What if the real threats to your blood sugar and metabolic health are hiding in your everyday habits? In this Halloween-inspired episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, Joe Matovich and Tiffany Snead uncover the surprisingly common habits that can impact blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and long-term metabolic health—even when you think you're making healthy choices.

    S2 EP 8: Is Cortisol Really Ruining Your Life? (The Truth About "Adrenal Fatigue")

    Cortisol gets blamed for everything from stubborn belly fat and morning brain fog to complete mid-day crashes. But is it actually the villain it’s made out to be—or is the real problem far more nuanced? In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, hosts Joe and Tiffany with Buckeye PMR in Grove City OH bust the biggest myths surrounding cortisol and the trendy label of "adrenal fatigue". They break down the real biology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and explain why your issue likely isn't high or low cortisol all day long, but rather a broken rhythm. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Normal Rhythm: What your Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) is supposed to do and why you need it to stay energized and healthy. Myth vs. Reality: The truth about "cortisol belly," working out under heavy stress, and drinking coffee on an empty stomach. The Modern Lifestyle Trap: How chronic screen exposure, high caffeine intake, and neglected sleep hygiene compound to disrupt your nervous system and endocrine health over time. Actionable Reset Strategies: Simple daily habits—such as early-morning sunlight exposure, a consistent wake routine, and smart sleep hygiene—that help recalibrate your natural curve. Testing & Targeted Care: Why random blood draws fall short, what comprehensive Dutch Plus testing actually measures, and why you should avoid generic adrenal supplements like high-dose licorice root without individual data. Stop guessing what your stress hormones are doing. Tune in to understand the signals your body is sending and learn how to get your rhythm back on track.

    S2 E7: Is Inflammation Actually Making You Feel Like Shit?

    Inflammation gets blamed for just about everything these days—sugar, seed oils, dairy, gluten, stress, alcohol… apparently even your salad dressing is out to get you. But inflammation isn’t automatically bad. In fact, your body needs it. In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, Joe and Tiffany break down what inflammation actually is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, and whether you can really “feel” when your body is inflamed. Then they play Inflammatory or Internet B******t? and rapid-fire through some of the biggest foods and habits blamed for inflammation online—from seed oils and sugar to gluten, alcohol, stress, and lack of sleep. They also dig into what an “anti-inflammatory diet” really looks like, why eliminating entire food groups isn’t always the answer, and how wellness marketing can make eating way more complicated than it needs to be. Because reducing your risk of chronic inflammation probably isn’t about fearing one ingredient—it’s about the boring stuff that actually matters: eating well overall, moving your body, sleeping, managing alcohol, not smoking, and addressing real health concerns with a healthcare professional.

    S2 EP6: Your Whole Life Isn’t F*cked, You’re Just Overwhelmed

    Bad sleep. The house is a mess. You’re behind at work. You haven’t worked out. You’re eating like shit. Your texts are piling up. And somehow, six completely separate problems turn into one giant conclusion: “My entire life is f****d.” In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, Joe and Tiffany talk about what happens when overwhelm takes over—and why trying to fix EVERYTHING at once can leave you frozen and doing nothing at all. They dig into the importance of calming your nervous system first, getting out of the all-or-nothing mindset, and shrinking your focus from “How do I get my life together?” to “What could make the next hour 10% better?” Maybe it’s going outside. Drinking some water. Taking a shower. Eating something. Going for a walk. Or simply doing the one thing that feels manageable right now. You don’t have to become the perfect version of yourself today. You don’t even have to get your shit together. Calm your system. Make the next good decision. Then go from there.

    S2 EP5: Got 10 Minutes? Let's Take a Walk.

    What if one of the easiest things you could do for your health today only took 10 minutes? In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, we’re doing something a little different: we’re walking and talking—and the episode ends when the 10-minute walk does. Joe and Tiffany break down what actually happens in your body when you get up and move, from blood sugar and circulation to mood, energy, and breaking up long periods of sitting. They also tackle the all-or-nothing mindset that tells us if we don’t have 30–60 minutes for a “real workout,” it’s not worth doing at all. No gym. No perfect workout plan. No tracking required. Just put in your headphones, hit play, and start walking. By the time this episode is over, you’ve already done the thing. Your challenge: Take one intentional 10-minute walk every day for the next seven days and see how you feel. Ten minutes. That’s it. Now go take a walk.

    S2 Ep. 4: The Truth About Protein — How Much Do You Actually Need?

    Protein coffee. Protein cereal. Protein chips. Protein bars. Protein everything. Somewhere along the way, the internet decided we all need to be thinking about protein 24/7. But how much do you actually need? Does the quality of your protein matter? And is every product with “20G PROTEIN!” slapped across the front automatically a good choice? In Episode 4 of Season 2 of Stop Feeling Like Shit, Joe and Tiffany break down the protein conversation without turning your diet into a full-time math problem. They’re talking about how your protein needs can change based on your age, body size, activity level, strength training, and goals; whether your body really “wastes” protein if you eat too much at once; why amino acids and leucine matter; and how animal and plant proteins compare. Then they put some of today’s popular high-protein convenience foods to the test—bars, shakes, powders, meat sticks, and more—to look beyond the marketing and ask: Is this actually a good source of protein… or did someone just put the word PROTEIN on the package? The takeaway? Protein does matter, and for many people, getting more can be beneficial. But you don't have to overcomplicate it. Focus on getting enough throughout the day, prioritize quality, nutrient-dense sources when you can, and use shakes, bars, and other convenience foods when they genuinely make your life easier. Because you don't need to turn eating into a math problem just because the internet discovered protein.
