    #63 Questions We Hear From Women Who Are Tired of Struggling (part 2)

    In this Q&A Part 2 Andrea and Nicki dive into the real questions they hear every week from women in their 30s and 40s who are exhausted from “doing everything right” and still feeling stuck. From stubborn weight that won’t budge, food obsession, and stress cravings, to the fear that your metabolism is broken…this episode gently reframes what’s actually happening inside your body and why pushing harder is often the very thing holding you back. Drawing on their clinical backgrounds and heart-centered coaching approach, the twins explain how stress, blood sugar, hormones, inflammation, and the nervous system quietly shape your relationship with food, energy, and weight and what truly supports change in this season of life. If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s tired of fighting your body and ready to work with it instead, this episode will help you feel validated, grounded, and far less alone. ⁠Holistic Health Coaching for Women’s Wellness and Nutrition⁠ ⁠Discovery Call Holistic Health Coaching for Women’s Wellness and Nutrition

    #62 Why Your “Healthy Routine” Might Be Keeping You Stuck

    If you’re doing all the “right” things eating well, staying consistent, showing up for your workouts but still feel tired, frustrated, or stalled… this episode is for you. In this conversation, Nicole and Andrea from A&N Holistic Health unpack four very common patterns they see in women who genuinely care about their health  yet still feel stuck. You’ll learn why progress isn’t always about doing more… and how, sometimes, your most “healthy” habits may actually be keeping your body in survival mode. This is a gentle, science-grounded reminder (especially for the high-achieving, busy women) that your body needs stability, fuel, and rest in order to change.  If nothing seems to be working, it may not be because you’re failing it may be because your body is asking for a different approach. Listen in if you’re ready to stop chasing perfect routines and start building a sustainable, supportive way of caring for yourself.  BOOK FREE Discovery Call Holistic Health Coaching for Women’s Wellness and Nutrition

    #61 Questions We Hear All the Time (and Answers Most Women Actually Need to Hear)

    You’re eating well. You’re exercising. You’re trying to sleep. So why are you still exhausted? In this episode of Double Dose of Wellness, we’re answering the questions we hear constantly from women who are doing “all the right things” yet still don’t feel like themselves. Andrea and Nicole break down what’s really happening beneath the surface when energy is low, labs look “normal,” stress shows up physically, and everything feels connected (and overwhelming). This isn’t about pushing harder, being more disciplined, or starting another plan. It’s about understanding what your body has been carrying and how support actually works. Is this just burnout, or is something actually wrong with my body? Why do I feel awful when my tests look fine? Do I need to change my diet again? How long does it take to actually feel better? This conversation is for you. Consider this episode permission to stop forcing your body and start listening to it. Support restores capacity.  Grab your tea, get comfortable, and join us for a conversation without judgment, guilt, or overwhelm.

    #60 The Energy Trifecta: Why Hormones, Gut Health & Immunity Are Draining Your Energy

    Are you exhausted even though you’re eating well, moving your body, and doing “all the right things”? In this episode of Double Dose of Wellness, Andrea and Nicki unpack why fatigue in high-achieving women is rarely a motivation or discipline problem, and almost always a physiological one. We explore what we call the Energy Trifecta: hormones, gut health, and immune function: three deeply connected systems that determine how energized or depleted you feel day to day. If one of these systems is under chronic stress, the body doesn’t generate more energy, it conserves it. We cover: Why energy isn’t about doing more How hormones act as signals, not the root cause of fatigue How to start noticing patterns in your energy instead of blaming yourself This episode is an invitation to stop pushing through exhaustion and start listening to what your body is asking for. If you’re tired of being tired and ready to understand your energy at a deeper levelthis conversation is for you. Grab your tea, get comfortable, and let’s dive in.

    #59 Motivation Isn’t the Problem: The Science of Momentum & Habits

    Motivation is one of the most misunderstood concepts in wellness and it’s keeping so many of us stuck. If you’ve ever thought “If I could just get more motivated, everything would finally fall into place” this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, Nicole and Ann dismantle the myth that motivation is about willpower, discipline, or wanting something badly enough. Because the truth is: motivation isn’t the problem. Most of us aren’t inconsistent because we're lazy or undisciplined. We're They’re inconsistent because we've been taught to wait for motivation before taking action. It actually works the other way around. In this episode, we break down: What motivation actually is (and what it’s not) How dopamine truly works in the brain and how it impacts motivation Why motivation feels “selective” (and why that’s normal) How momentum is what creates lasting change What’s happening in your brain when you procrastinate If you’ve been blaming yourself for not being “motivated enough,” this conversation will change the way you see your brain, your habits, and yourself. Motivation doesn’t come first. Momentum does. And we’ll show you how to build it.
