    128: The 40-Day Water Fast That Exposed What Fat Is Really Holding

    What actually happens during a 40 day water fast? In this episode, Lizzie sits down with Reggie Mckiver after he completed a 40 day water fast and lost 47 pounds. But this conversation is not about weight loss alone. It’s about what surfaced when food was removed. During the fast, anger resurfaced. Generational trauma surfaced. Fear surfaced. And something unexpected happened. Every time deep emotional release occurred, the scale moved. This episode explores the connection between weight loss resistance and unresolved emotional patterns. It challenges the idea that fat loss is purely physical and asks a deeper question. What if fat is protecting something? If you are struggling with weight loss resistance, fear of food, chronic under-eating, or feeling stuck despite doing everything “right,” this episode will expand your perspective. In this episode, you’ll discover: What a 40 day water fast revealed about trauma and fat storageHow anger and suppressed emotion can affect weight lossWhy fat may hold stored stress and memoryThe link between generational trauma and physical healthWhy the scale stalled during emotional suppressionHow emotional release influenced fat lossWhy chronic under-eating damages metabolismHow increasing calories improved sleep and strengthThe difference between weight loss and healingWhy transformation requires internal work We talk about: 00:00 Intro02:00 Why Reggie chose a 40 day water fast05:00 Weight loss versus emotional transformation07:30 Facing anger during fasting09:45 The day 38 breakthrough12:30 Fat holding trauma and stored memory15:00 Emotional release and sudden weight drops18:15 Pride, fear, and physical pain patterns24:00 Suppressed voice and emotional health26:30 Fear of food and chronic under-eating29:00 Eating 3,000+ calories and restoring sleep31:30 Strength, recovery, and metabolic healing34:00 Healing before sustainable weight loss Connect with Reggie Facebook: a...

    127: F the Scale, The Real Reasons Your Body Won’t Lose Weight (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right)

    If you’re eating well, moving your body, prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and still watching the scale refuse to move, this episode is for you. Lizzie breaks down why weight loss resistance is rarely about willpower or calories, and almost always about what’s happening beneath the surface. From chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation to inflammation, insulin resistance, gut health, and emotional identity tied to the scale, Lizzie explains why your body may not feel safe enough to release weight. You’ll learn how living in constant fight-or-flight blocks fat loss, why parasympathetic healing is essential, and how unresolved trauma, internal pressure, and metabolic dysfunction can keep the scale stuck, even when habits look “perfect” on paper. Lizzie also dives into overlooked contributors like insulin resistance, lymphatic congestion, heavy metals, parasites, gut imbalances, and why functional testing can uncover what diet culture never addresses. This episode reframes weight loss as a healing process, not a punishment, and offers a grounded, compassionate path forward for women who are tired of blaming themselves. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the scale not moving is often a stress and inflammation issueHow chronic fight-or-flight blocks fat lossThe role of cortisol in weight loss resistanceWhy nervous system regulation matters more than restrictionHow sleep quality impacts detox and metabolismWhen the scale becomes an identity, not a toolWhy deep emotional healing can unlock physical changeHow insulin resistance fuels inflammation and stalled weight lossWhen strategic medical support can help reset the systemThe connection between toxins, gut health, and metabolismWhy lymphatic health is critical for fat lossHow functional blood work and GI mapping reveal root causesWhy what worked in your 20s and 30s often fails in your 40sHow to stop fighting your body and start working with it We talk about: 00:00 Why the scale feels defeating when you’re doing everything right01:15 Stress, cortisol, and why the body won’t feel safe to lose weight02:40 Sympathetic vs parasympathetic and healing capacity04:10 Sleep, detox, and metabolic repair05:35 The emotional relationship with the scale07:10 Why identity and self-worth get tied to weightspan class="ql-ui"...

    126: Struggling to Get Pregnant? What Doctors Miss About Egg & Sperm Quality with Dr. Marina

    If you’re struggling to get pregnant, have experienced miscarriages, or feel like fertility treatment keeps skipping over the real issues, this episode will change how you understand fertility. In this conversation on The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with Dr. Marina, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 30 years of experience who transitioned into functional and root-cause medicine after witnessing the limitations of conventional fertility care. Dr. Marina explains why fertility is often treated as a checklist of tests and procedures, while the most important factors, egg quality, sperm health, lifestyle, nutrition, toxin exposure, stress, and metabolic health, are overlooked. You’ll learn why sperm quality plays a critical role in placental development and early pregnancy, why fertility challenges must be addressed as a shared responsibility between partners, and how endocrine-disrupting chemicals have contributed to dramatic declines in sperm count and morphology over the last two generations. This episode also dives into PCOS, hormone testing gaps, AMH misconceptions, birth control masking symptoms, nutrigenomics, and why improving health before IVF dramatically increases success rates, and in many cases, leads to natural conception. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or want to protect your fertility for the future, this conversation offers clarity, empowerment, and practical direction. In this episode, you’ll discover:Why fertility struggles aren’t just about ovulation timing or proceduresHow egg quality and sperm quality affect conception and miscarriage riskWhy sperm health is essential for placental developmentThe alarming decline in sperm count and morphologyHow endocrine-disrupting chemicals impact fertility in men and womenWhy fertility should be approached as a couple, not a single patientWhat conventional fertility testing often missesWhy AMH is not predictive of natural conceptionHow PCOS, insulin resistance, and inflammation affect fertilityWhy birth control often masks underlying hormonal dysfunctionHow lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, and stress influence reproductive healthThe role of micronutrients like vitamin D, B12, omega-3s, and inositolWhy improving health before IVF improves outcomes and reduces riskHow nutrigenomic testing supports personalized fertility care We talk about: 00:00 Why fertility treatment often misses key factors01:45 Dr. Marina’s background and shift into functional medicine03:30 Egg quality, stress, and...

    125: Stagnant Lymphatic System Signs: Puffy Face, Cellulite, Fatigue, and Why “Detox” Isn’t Working

    If you rarely sweat (even in a hot sauna), feel puffy despite “eating clean,” or deal with stubborn inflammation, fatigue, cellulite, brain fog, and hormone chaos, this episode connects the dots to one overlooked system: your lymphatic system. In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie explains why a sluggish lymphatic system can look like weight gain (but is often fluid retention), why your body can feel “stuck” even when you’re doing all the right things, and how lymph stagnation can contribute to estrogen recycling, cortisol-related puffiness, and detox symptoms that get worse when you try to cleanse. You’ll walk away with a practical “drainage-first” plan, including movement, hydration, deep breathing, rebounding, vibration, dry brushing, and Lizzie’s top stack: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna. Book a consultation and testing: https://undietyou.com/ In this episode, you’ll discover:The surprising sign of lymph stagnation: not sweating easily (even with heat or cardio)Why puffiness in the face, arms, belly, and legs is often fluid, not fatHow lymph supports detox, immunity, and why Lizzie calls it your body’s “sewer system”Why tight clothing, shallow breathing, dehydration, stress, and sitting all day can block drainageThe hormone link: how stagnant lymph may contribute to estrogen recycling and inflammationWhy “detox” can backfire if drainage is blocked (and what to do instead)A lymph-support routine: walking, rebounding, vibration plate, stretching, cold exposure, minerals, and hydrationLizzie’s top 3: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna (and what changed when her sweating finally “turned on”) We talk about: 00:00 Not sweating easily, why it’s not a flex01:05 Puffy, swollen, inflamed, when it’s fluid not fat01:45 What the lymphatic system does (your detox drainage)02:25 Why blocking sweat can backfire (lymph congestion)03:05 Far infrared sauna, why it matters04:05 Lymph has no pump, it needs your movement05:10 Signs of lymph stagnation (puffiness, fatigue, brain fog, getting sick)06:10 Toxins discussed: mold, heavy metals, candida, pesticides, chlorine07:20 Causes: sitting, tight clothes, shallow breathing, dehydrationspan class="ql-ui"...

    124: GLP-1s Aren’t the Problem. Using Them Wrong Is (Muscle Loss, Thyroid, Rebound Weight Gain)

    GLP-1 medications and peptides are changing modern medicine, but many people are using them in a way that quietly sabotages health. In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why GLP-1s are not inherently “bad,” and why the real danger is taking doses that suppress appetite so aggressively you stop eating, skip protein, avoid strength training, and never address the root causes behind weight gain. She explains why common GLP-1 “side effects” are often the downstream effects of undereating, dehydration, slowed digestion, nutrient depletion, and muscle loss, including constipation, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, reflux, hair loss, and the “skinny fat” outcome (lower scale weight but higher body fat and low lean mass). Lizzie also covers the long game: what happens when someone stops using GLP-1s without building foundational habits first, and why rebound weight gain can happen rapidly. If you want fat loss without sacrificing metabolism, thyroid health, and muscle, this episode lays out what to do before, during, and after a GLP-1 journey. Book a consultation and testing: https://undietyou.com/ In this episode, you’ll discover:Why “I can’t eat for two days” is a sign your dose may be too highWhy constipation on GLP-1s often comes from not eating enough (and not hydrating enough)What causes nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog, and how to reduce themWhy hair loss is often driven by macro + micronutrient deficiency, not “the drug itself”How low intake can contribute to depleted B vitamins and iron issuesHow muscle loss happens on GLP-1s, and why it matters for long-term healthThe “skinny fat” trap, losing weight while losing strength and metabolic powerWhy rebound weight gain can happen after stopping Ozempic-like meds, and how to prevent itThe link between undereating and anxiety, depression, and dopamine disruptionWhy your thyroid is the “fire” of metabolism, and how long deficits can backfireWhy peptides should be the “cherry on top,” not the foundationWhen GLP-1s may not work well at all (hidden stress load, toxins, and other root issues) We talk about: 00:00 Why fast weight loss is not the same as fixing metabolism01:10 Safety and sourcing concerns, why guidance matters03:00 What happens when appetite is shut down and the body is underfed04:30 Constipation, digestion slowdown, nausea, dizziness, and dose red flagsspan class="ql-ui"...

    123: The 3 Stress Personalities That Quietly Wreck Your Health | Trupti Gokani, MD

    Stress isn’t just about having too much on your plate. It’s about how your body responds to pressure, and why the same stressors affect people completely differently. In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with board-certified neurologist turned Eastern Medicine expert Trupti Gokani, MD, author of The Stress Rx, to unpack why stress is not a mindset issue, but a physiological and nervous-system pattern rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. Together, they explore how stress shows up through three distinct stress personalities (Windy, Fiery, and Earthy), how chronic stress dysregulates cortisol, digestion, immunity, sleep, hormones, and the microbiome, and why many women remain stuck in burnout, anxiety, inflammation, or fatigue despite “doing everything right.” Lizzie and Trupti also discuss the deep connection between emotions, identity, illness, and the body, including how suppressed self-expression, misaligned relationships, and long-term internal pressure can manifest as thyroid issues, sleep disturbances, immune dysfunction, and chronic illness. This episode is for anyone who feels like stress keeps showing up in their body, even when their life looks “fine,” and who’s ready to stop managing symptoms and start understanding why their body is responding the way it is. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why stress is not about workload, but about internal vs external demandThe three Ayurvedic stress personalities and how they show up in the bodyHow chronic stress dysregulates cortisol, sleep, digestion, and immunityWhy anxiety, burnout, inflammation, and fatigue are stress responses, not failuresThe connection between suppressed emotions, the throat, and thyroid healthHow relationships, values, and identity mismatches create physical illnessWhy labeling illness can reinforce symptoms instead of healing themHow nervous system regulation restores resilience and energyPractical awareness tools to identify your stress pattern and break the cycleWhy healing stress starts with understanding yourself, not fixing yourself We talk about: 00:00 Why stress needs to be understood differently02:00 Trupti’s journey from neurology to Eastern medicine05:00 Sleep disruption as an early stress warning sign08:30 Why Western medicine misses the root of stress11:00 Ayurvedic doshas and mind-body types explained15:00 The Windy, Fiery, and Earthy stress personalities19:30...

    122: Why Dieting Stops Working for Women (And What Actually Helps)

    If you’ve been eating less, trying harder, and still feeling tired, puffy, inflamed, and stuck, your metabolism isn’t broken. It’s overwhelmed. In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why chronic dieting and long-term under-eating slow metabolic function instead of improving it, especially for women. January often convinces people that something is wrong with their bodies, but in reality, it’s the stress, restriction, and lack of nourishment that keep the body in survival mode. Lizzie explains what metabolism actually does in the body, how dieting downregulates thyroid function, disrupts blood sugar, raises cortisol, and leads to inflammation, fatigue, cravings, and stubborn weight. She walks through why eating less backfires, how being underfed and overstressed impacts hormones and the nervous system, and why food guilt creates real physiological stress. You’ll learn why cravings are not a lack of willpower, why sugar and carb cravings often point to protein and nutrient deficiencies, and how proper nourishment restores energy, digestion, sleep, focus, and metabolic function. Lizzie also shares how safety, structure, and support matter more than discipline when it comes to sustainable health. This episode is for anyone ready to stop dieting, stop punishing their body, and start supporting it in a way that actually works. 6-Week Undiet You Reset: https://www.undietyou.com/6-week-undiet-you In this episode, you’ll discover:Why dieting slows metabolism over timeHow eating less keeps the body in survival modeWhat metabolism actually does and how it adapts to stressWhy under-fueling impacts thyroid, hormones, and energyHow blood sugar imbalance drives fatigue and inflammationWhy food guilt creates stress in the bodyHow nourishment restores metabolic functionWhy safety matters more than discipline for weight lossWhat to focus on instead of dieting We talk about: 00:00 January dieting panic and why it happens every year01:45 Why diets fail and motivation fades by February03:30 Why restriction slows your metabolism06:15 What metabolism actually does08:45 Underfed and overstressed, what this means for women11:30 Blood sugar, cortisol, and inflammation explained14:45 Why eating less backfires17:30 Cravings, guilt, and dopamine20:30 Nourishment vs restriction23:30 How Undiet You supports metabolic...

    121: January Weight Loss Panic - Why Your Body Is Resisting Diets

    If you feel tired, puffy, inflamed, and stuck in January… your metabolism isn’t broken, it’s overwhelmed. In this episode, Lizzie explains why dieting slows your metabolism and what your body actually needs to feel safe, supported, and energized again. January is the month where most people are convinced something is wrong with their bodies. In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why extreme dieting, under-eating, and stress are overwhelming your metabolism, not fixing it. If you’ve been jumping from plan to plan, eating less, trying harder, and still feeling inflamed, exhausted, and stuck, this episode explains why. Lizzie explains what metabolism actually does in the body, how chronic dieting slows it down, and why being underfed and overstressed keeps your nervous system in survival mode. She shares how blood sugar imbalance, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, and high cortisol all contribute to metabolic resistance, hormone disruption, and low energy. You’ll also learn why food is not the problem, why extreme plans backfire, and how feeding your body properly restores energy, digestion, focus, and metabolic function. Lizzie walks through exactly why her 7-Day Metabolism Jumpstart works, how it helps calm inflammation and regulate the nervous system, and why safety and nourishment matter more than restriction. This episode is for anyone ready to stop dieting, stop punishing their body, and start supporting it in a way that actually works. 7-Day Metabolism Jumpstart January 1–7 $7 for 7 days Includes meal plan, grocery list, daily tracker, and guidance Learn more at: https://undietyou.com/ In this episode, you’ll discover why:Your metabolism feels “stuck” after dietingEating less actually slows metabolic functionBeing underfed and overstressed keeps the body in survival modeBlood sugar imbalance drives fatigue and inflammationNutrient deficiencies impact energy, hormones, and thyroid healthChronic dieting disrupts digestion and sleepFood is not the enemy, under-fueling isCreating safety in the body restores metabolismStructure and nourishment matter more than willpower We talk about: 00:00 Why January makes people panic about their bodies01:00 Your metabolism isn’t broken, it’s overwhelmed02:30 Why dieting slows metabolism04:30 Underfed and overstressed explained06:30 What metabolism actually does07:45 Thyroid, cold sensitivity, and energy09:15 Why food restriction backfires10:30 Chronic dieting and inflammation12:00 Why your body needs nourishment13:30 What the 7-Day Metabolism Jumpstart includes15:00 How feeding your body restores energy17:00 Blood sugar balance and nervous system regulation19:00 Why safety matters more than discipline21:00 What to focus on instead of dieting Connect with me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/  #Metabolism #StopDieting #WomensHealth #BurnoutRecovery...
