    Weighing In on Worth: Breaking the Scale Obsession

    In today's episode we’re going to talk about one of the most frustrating parts of a health journey- and that is the scale.  You know what I’m talking about—those mornings when you step on the scale and the number is up two pounds overnight, and immediately you think What did I do wrong? Omg I’m getting fat. This isn’t working. What do I do? Help! Somewhere along the way, we allowed how we view ourselves, and our health and fitness progress, to be dictated by a piece of plastic and metal.  We will be diving into what the scale can tell you, what it absolutely can’t, and how to start shifting your focus from chasing a number to cultivating real, lasting health - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I'll be breaking down: the science of scale fluctuationswhy we tend to obsess about the scalepractical strategies for reframing your mindset towards the scale _____________________________________ Join me on the 'gram!

    When diets don’t work: Digging Into Functional Root Causes of Weight Loss Resistance

    Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—tracking, eating clean, training hard—but the scale won’t budge? In this episode, we’re digging into some of the functional root causes of weight-loss plateaus- the things that make the ‘calories in, calories out’ model feel broken. Because while that equation still matters, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Hormones, stress, gut health, inflammation, sleep, and metabolic adaptation all play a role in how your body actually responds to that math.   Today we are going to dive into all the behind-the-scenes systems that impact how your body uses- or holds onto- fat. Because sustainable change isn’t just about cutting calories, it’s about fixing what’s under the hood.   If you’ve been doing everything ‘right’ and still feel stuck, this one’s for you! I will be discussing: The GutHormone Balance Loss of Muscle Mass or just Low Lean Body MassSystemic InflammtionChronic Infections or Stealth PathogensToxic Burden or Poor DetoxificationSleep Deprivation or Circadian Rhythm DisruptionUnder eating & Over Exercising (Metabolic Adaptation)Blood Sugar Imbalance Root Cause Concierge is Live!

    When Food Isn't the Fix: Faith-Led Strategies for Emotional Eating

    Let’s be real: emotional eating isn’t just about food. It’s about the stories, stress, and self-talk that drive us there. In this episode, we are going deep, and talking about what's REALLY under the vicious cycle of emotional eating that so many people fall into. In this episode we’ll talk about how to break that cycle, not through more willpower, but through renewal of mind, body, and spirit. Because sometimes what we’re craving isn’t food at all, it’s peace, purpose, and the presence of Christ. And freedom around food doesn’t start with perfection, it starts with partnership with Christ  What is emotional eatingHow emotional eating traps you in a vicious cycleHow to break the cycle Pausing to prayLeaning into scriptureRooting yourself in your identity in ChristInviting community into your journeyShifting your focus to worship and gratitude __________________________________________________________ Join me on the 'gram!

    The messy middle is that maddening stretch of the journey where your body hasn’t quite caught up to your effort. You’re showing up, you’re doing the work, yet the scale is stubborn, your energy is unpredictable, and every part of you wonders, “Is this even working?” This is the part most people never talk about—the plateaus, the doubt, the second-guessing, the temptation to throw in the towel.

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the truth about the messy middle—and why it matters far more than you think. We’ll cover: What the messy middle actually isWhy it’s a non-negotiable part of every transformationThe most common sticking points in your health and fitness journeyThe danger of quitting right before the breakthroughHow to reconnect with your “why” when motivation fadesWhy you need to simplify instead of overcomplicateHow to get curious, not judgmental, about your habitsThe power of support, accountability, and honest feedbackWhy you should adjust the strategy—not the goalIf you’re in that uncomfortable in-between where nothing feels like it’s working… this episode is your reminder that you’re not stuck—you’re being shaped. ___________________________________________________________ Join me on the 'gram!

    Beyond Protocols & Pills: The Art of Thinking Like a Root-Cause Coach with Jeffrey Su

    In today’s episode, I sit down with Jeffrey Su, owner of First Call Out Fitness and one of the most respected voices in the functional health coaching space.  Jeff has been in this field long enough to see trends come and go, and he brings a refreshingly honest, experience-driven perspective on what truly matters when it comes to health and healing. In our conversation, we unpack how his own views on functional health have evolved, how he defines it today, and the biggest misconceptions circulating on social media.  Jeff breaks down what root-cause healing actually is (not the flashy version people talk about online) and what clients should really be looking for when choosing a coach. We also dive into the pillars that matter most: nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement. Jeff shares his number one tip for each, along with what he’s most excited about in the functional health space. If you’re wanting clarity in a very noisy wellness landscape, this episode will give you exactly that.
