    146: The Estrobolome: What Your Gut Is Doing to Your Hormones with Caroline Carralero and Lizzie Ens

    Gut health and hormone balance are not two separate conversations. They are the same one. If you are dealing with bloating, irregular cycles, stubborn weight, fatigue, or the skin issues that nothing seems to fix, your gut microbiome may be the root cause. There is a specific subset of gut bacteria called the estrobolome, and it controls how your body processes and clears estrogen. When it is out of balance, estrogen builds up, symptoms pile on, and no supplement in the world will move the needle until the gut is addressed first. In this episode, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach and founder of Undiet You, sits down with Caroline Carralero, CEO and founder of Daily Nouri, a targeted gut microbiome company built specifically for women. Caroline breaks down how the estrobolome works, why PCOS, estrogen dominance, and infertility all have a gut connection, and how targeted strain-specific probiotics are fundamentally different from the one-size-fits-all bottle you have probably tried before. Daily Nouri is currently running a first-of-its-kind clinical trial on their Hormone Balance probiotic. This episode gives you the science in plain language so you can start making decisions that actually match how your body works. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the estrobolome is and why this lesser-known part of your gut microbiome directly controls how much estrogen circulates in your body at any given time. Why PCOS, endometriosis, estrogen dominance, and infertility all share a gut root cause, and what that means for where healing has to start. The difference between a generic probiotic and a targeted strain-specific probiotic, and why the cheap bottle from the drugstore was never designed to help with hormone imbalance. Why sleep is your number one detoxer, and how skipping rest is keeping your gut and hormones stuck no matter what else you do. The specific Daily Nouri product Caroline recommends as a starting point for women in their twenties, thirties, and perimenopause, including what makes each phase of life different. Why your body cannot heal in a stressed state, and how the cortisol-gut-hormone loop keeps women spinning their wheels even when they are doing everything right. We talk about: 00:00 Why your gut and your hormones are running the same system 01:11 Who is Caroline Carralero and what is Daily Nouri? 04:03 Why one-size-fits-all probiotics do not work 06:27 What is the estrobolome and how does estrogen detox work? 08:12 Why PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility are gut health issues 11:16 Real results: bloating, skin, energy, and cycle regularity 13:07 The first-of-its-kind clinical trial underway on the Hormone Balance probiotic 17:14 The lifestyle pillars that must go alongside a probiotic 19:19 Is Akkermansia worth it? The GLP-1 connection explained 23:14 Why quick-fix culture is putting your body into fight or flight 25:00 Why women need more rest than men and what depleted testosterone means 27:15 Where to start with Daily Nouri products by life stage 29:14 Men's gut health, testosterone, and sperm health 32:20 Why founder-led brands are built differently Ready to stop treating symptoms and start healing at the root?

    145: The Onion Framework: Heal Emotional Blocks to Lose Weight | Lizzie Ens

    Emotional blocks to weight loss are the real reason so many women stay stuck no matter how clean they eat or how hard they train. If you are sick and tired of doing everything right and still not seeing results, your body is not broken. The block is underneath the surface, and it is wrapped around your heart. In this solo episode, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker Lizzie Ens introduces The Onion Framework, her powerful framework for understanding how unhealed trauma, childhood conditioning, and emotional shutdown silently sabotage physical healing. Drawing from her own Amish upbringing and her years of coaching real women through real transformation, Lizzie gets raw about what it actually takes to lose weight and feel well from the inside out. You will walk away knowing exactly where to start. In this episode, you’ll learn: What The Onion Framework is and why the layers of emotional protection wrapped around your heart are directly blocking your body's ability to heal and release weight. Why healing from the inside out is not just a mindset concept but a physical necessity, and how unresolved trauma shows up as thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, gut problems, and unexplained weight gain. How Lizzie's Amish upbringing created specific patterns of emotional shutdown and overworking that she has since unpacked, and why so many women share these same patterns without recognizing them. Why the number on the scale triggers you so deeply, what that emotional charge is actually telling you, and how to face it instead of letting it derail your progress. The one question Lizzie asks every new client to reveal how closed off they are from themselves: "If you took away every title you carry, do you know who you are?" We talk about: 00:00 Why most people never reach their health goals 01:30 The friend conversation that sparked this episode 03:00 What is The Onion Framework and how does it work 05:30 How growing up Amish shaped Lizzie's emotional shutdown 07:00 Were you meant to stay or were you meant to leave 09:00 Who are you without your titles and your work 10:30 What do you do for fun, and why that question matters 12:30 How Lizzie learned to live outside of work 14:30 Can you stay in parasympathetic long enough to heal 16:00 How to make big things happen instead of just dreaming 18:00 Why people invest in their health when they are truly ready 20:00 The scale went up. Now what do you do with those emotions 22:00 What pulling the onion back actually feels like 23:30 The client who applied for 600 jobs and never gave up 26:00 You cannot hate your body into healing.

    144: What Is Insulin Resistance? The Hidden Driver of Weight Gain, Fatigue, and Inflammation | Lizzie Ens

    What if the reason you cannot lose weight, you are always tired, and your labs keep coming back "normal" is a condition affecting up to 40% of adults that most doctors are not even testing for? In this solo episode, Lizzie breaks down everything you need to know about insulin resistance: what it is, why it is quietly behind so much of the weight gain, fatigue, inflammation, and metabolic chaos she sees in her clients every day, and most importantly, what you can actually do about it without going straight for medication. She shares the specific lab test your doctor is likely skipping, walks through a real client story that shows exactly how this plays out, shares her own personal experience going into insulin resistance from chronic stress and poor sleep, and lays out the research-backed lifestyle changes that have been shown to rival medication for blood sugar and insulin management. This is the episode for anyone who has been doing everything right and still cannot figure out why their body is not responding. The answer might be in a number your doctor has never checked. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why up to 40% of adults have insulin resistance and most have no idea, including what is quietly happening in your body before any obvious symptoms show upThe single most important lab test for metabolic health that is missing from most standard blood panels and exactly what to ask your doctor forHow visceral fat, PCOS, fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline are all downstream effects of unmanaged insulin resistanceWhy stress and poor sleep can drive you into insulin resistance even when your diet is completely clean, and how Lizzie experienced this firsthandThe role of muscle mass in glucose disposal and why strength training is one of the most powerful things you can do for insulin sensitivityHow to prepare potatoes and other whole food carbs in a way that significantly reduces your insulin spikeWhy eating protein and vegetables before your carbohydrates flattens your post-meal glucose response, and what the research actually showsThe post-meal walking research that demonstrated comparable results to adding an insulin injection in type 2 diabetes patientsWhat front-loading your meals earlier in the day does for your sleep quality, deep sleep, and heart rate variabilityWhen a short-term intervention may be appropriate and why lifestyle change still has to come first regardless We talk about: 00:00 Why insulin resistance is behind so much unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and inflammation 02:00 How common it actually is, the lifestyle factors driving it, and why most people have no idea they have it 03:00 How insulin resistance develops in the body and where the breakdown actually happens 04:00 The lab test your doctor is likely skipping and why glucose and A1C alone are not enough 05:00 Client story: pre-diabetic, shaky after meals, and blaming the wrong thing entirely 08:00 Visceral fat, fatty liver, PCOS, and cardiovascular disease: the downstream effects no one warns you about 09:00 Why sedentary muscle, chronic stress, and poor sleep fast-track insulin resistance 12:30 The good news: insulin resistance is largely reversible, and when a short-term microdose intervention makes sense 15:00 What to do now: cut refined carbs, prioritize protein and fiber, and how to prep your carbs smarter 17:30 Post-meal walking, eating order, and the research showing lifestyle can rival medication 21:00 The studies on resistance training, stair climbing, and sleep restriction that make the case for lifestyle first 25:00 Front-loading meals, reverse fasting, and what Lizzie's Oura Ring data revealed about earlier cutoffs Connect with Lizzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #InsulinResistance #InsulinSensitivity #BloodSugarBalance #MetabolicHealth #WeightLossResistance #DiabetesPrevention #PreDiabetes #HormoneHealth #CortisolAndInsulin #FastingInsulin #ViscerealFat #PCOS #StrengthTraining #PostMealWalking #SleepAndMetabolism #WholeFoodNutrition #NutritionScience #FunctionalNutrition #TheLizzieEnsShow #UndietYou

    143: The Biggest HRT Mistakes Women Make in Perimenopause (and When to Actually Start) | Karen Martel

    What if the fear that has kept you off hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is built on a study the researchers themselves have walked back? In this episode, Lizzie sits down with Certified Hormone Specialist Karen Martel to unpack the most common HRT mistakes women make and why the window to act is years earlier than most doctors will tell you. Karen breaks down why 100% of women are affected by the loss of their hormones even when the symptoms are invisible, why estrogen is protective rather than dangerous, and how one misreported study created decades of fear around the wrong hormone. They get into the timing mistake that costs women years of needless suffering, the xenoestrogens hiding in everyday products, and why HRT only works when the foundational pieces are actually in place. This is the episode for the woman who has been handed a prescription for patience and told to come back when things get worse. There is a better way, and it starts with knowing what to avoid. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why 100% of women are affected by the loss of their hormones, even without hot flashes or weight gain, and what is quietly changing on the inside for your bones, brain, heart, and blood sugarThe timing mistake that costs women years: why declining hormones, not full menopause, are the real signal to start HRTThe truth about the Women's Health Initiative study, why estradiol is breast protective, and which synthetic hormone actually raised the riskWhy HRT is never one-size-fits-all and exactly what to do when the first protocol does not work for youWhere xenoestrogens and endocrine disruptors hide in your home and the simple daily detox habit that helps clear themWhy you cannot out-diet or out-supplement low hormones, and the foundational pieces that make HRT actually workHow far hormone loss really reaches, from skin and collagen to hair, mood, libido, joints, and even your voiceWhy fewer than 7% of doctors are trained in menopause and how to advocate for the care you deserve We talk about: 00:00 - The mistakes women make with HRT and why the information out there is so conflicting 02:30 - Karen's story: how early menopause blindsided a health expert who thought she was fully prepared 06:00 - Mistake one: believing your healthy habits will protect you from the loss of your hormones 10:30 - Xenoestrogens and endocrine disruptors: where they hide and the daily detox that helps 15:00 - Mistake two: timing, and why waiting for full menopause works against you 20:00 - The fear of estrogen, the Women's Health Initiative myth, and the hormone that was actually the problem 26:00 - Why fewer than 7% of doctors are trained in menopause and how to advocate for yourself 30:00 - Why HRT almost always needs tweaking and the many ways hormones can be delivered 34:00 - The foundations you cannot skip and the truth about alcohol and breast cancer risk 38:00 - How far hormone loss reaches: skin, collagen, hair, voice, libido, and joints 42:00 - Bioidentical hormones you can access over the counter without a prescription 45:00 - Why midlife can be the best and most powerful season of your life USE CODE LIZZIE OR LIZZIE10 FOR SAVINGS: https://midlifesolutions.org/?ref=Lizzie Connect with Karen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenmartelhormonesPodcast: https://karenmartel.com/blogs/podcastWebsite: https://karenmartel.com/ Connect with Lizzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellnessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellnessTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellnessWebsite: https://undietyou.com/ #HRT #HormoneReplacementTherapy #Perimenopause #Menopause #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth #Estrogen #Progesterone #BioidenticalHormones #MidlifeWomen #PerimenopauseSymptoms #MenopauseSupport #Xenoestrogens #HormoneBalance #WomensHealthInitiative #EstrogenAndSkin #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #TheLizzieEnsShow #HealthAdvocacy

    142: Cholesterol Is Not the Enemy. Triglycerides Are. Here Is What to Actually Watch | Lizzie Ens

    What if the number your doctor is watching most closely is not the one that matters most? In this solo episode, Lizzie breaks down what your cholesterol panel is actually trying to tell you, why triglycerides are the number to watch, and why LDL is more of a signal than a problem. She unpacks how statins work, why they are hard to get off, and what has driven the shift in prescribing thresholds over the years. She also gets into the gut-cholesterol connection, the role of parasites, heavy metals, and mold in elevated LDL, and why the oatmeal advice needs to stop. This is the episode for the person who has been handed a prescription and told to eat more fiber. There is more to this story. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why statin medication is the most over-prescribed drug in the US and how it actually works inside the bodyThe difference between LDL, HDL, and triglycerides and which number should be driving your concernWhy LDL can rise in response to parasites, heavy metals, mold, and bacterial infections as a protective mechanism for your brainWhat low HDL levels can signal, including a possible autoimmune connectionWhy red meat and eggs do not raise cholesterol and why oatmeal may be making things worse for people with insulin resistanceWhat lifestyle changes can realistically move your numbers and the supplement Lizzie recommends as a natural starting pointHow to know if your doctor is managing your numbers versus actually helping you get better We talk about: 00:00 - Why cholesterol medication is the most over-prescribed drug and what Lizzie learned in functional medicine school 03:30 - How the body makes cholesterol daily and why fiber and daily elimination matter more than most people think 06:00 - The statin pathway: how the medication works, why it shuts down the body's own cholesterol production, and why it is so hard to get off 09:00 - How the threshold for prescribing statins has dropped over the decades and why 12:00 - How Lizzie can tell within 10 minutes of a consultation whether a doctor is helping a client or keeping them dependent 15:00 - Triglycerides: why they are the number to actually watch for heart disease, stroke, and clogged arteries 18:00 - LDL decoded: why it goes up in response to infections, pathogens, heavy metals, mold, and parasites 21:00 - The blood-brain barrier connection and what research on MS patients revealed about parasites in the brain 24:00 - HDL and what low levels can signal, including autoimmune patterns 27:00 - The real dietary drivers of cholesterol and why eggs and red meat are not the problem 30:00 - Why oatmeal may be spiking your blood sugar instead of helping your cholesterol 33:00 - Red yeast rice: what it is and how to use it as a natural cholesterol support tool 36:00 - The courage it takes to change direction when what you are doing is not working Connect with Lizzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #Cholesterol #LowerCholesterolNaturally #FunctionalMedicine #Triglycerides #LDLvHDL #StatinAlternatives #HeartHealth #GutAndCholesterol #NaturalHealth #WomensHealth #HolisticHealth #CholesterolAndDiet #AreStatinsOverprescribed #TheLizzieEnsShow #FunctionalNutrition #ChronicDisease #RedYeastRice #BloodSugarBalance #HealthAdvocacy #InsulinResistance

    141: What Is Quantum Biology and Why Does It Change Everything About How You Heal | Dr. Catherine Clinton

    What if the reason you are still struggling with your health has nothing to do with what you are eating and everything to do with the invisible forces your body is swimming in every single day? In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with Dr. Catherine Clinton, a licensed naturopathic physician and founder of the Quantum Biology Health Institute, to explore one of the most fascinating and underutilized frameworks in modern health. Quantum biology. Dr. Clinton was not always the expert in the room. She came to this work because she got sick. In her second year of naturopathic medical school, her nervous system buckled under the pressure, and she was diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, and a cascade of GI infections. Conventional tools helped her function. Quantum biology helped her actually heal. In this conversation, Lizzie and Dr. Clinton break down what quantum biology actually is, why your mitochondria are the key to almost every modern disease, how light, water, sound, and the earth beneath your feet are sending real biological signals to your cells, and why the outdoors is not a nice-to-have but a genuine prescription for healing. This is the episode for the woman who has tried everything and still does not feel well. The answer might not be another supplement. It might be a walk outside. In this episode, you’ll learn: What quantum biology actually is and why it represents a major expansion beyond the chemical and mechanical model of medicineHow Dr. Clinton went from debilitated medical student to founder of the Quantum Biology Health InstituteWhy your mitochondria are the foundation of almost every aspect of your health including hormones, immunity, metabolism, and moodHow light, specifically infrared light, acts like a gas pedal for your cells and why you are getting it even on cloudy daysWhat blue light from screens and LED bulbs is actually doing to your cortisol, blood sugar, melatonin, and sleepWhy your fascia is not just scaffolding but the largest sensory organ in your body and a full electrical communication networkWhat happens inside your body when you are chronically dehydrated at a cellular levelHow a five minute heart coherence practice measurably improved mitochondrial function in Dr. Clinton's researchWhy dysbiosis in your gut microbiome may actually be your body trying to compensate for stressed mitochondriaHow grounding, nature, movement, and even your thoughts directly impact cellular energy productionWhat Dr. Clinton's book Optimized covers and how to get the free companion workbook We talk about: 00:00 What is quantum biology and why it matters for your health 03:00 How Dr. Clinton got sick in medical school and what led her to this work 06:00 Light as medicine and the Nobel Prize winning research on circadian biology 09:00 Blue light, LED screens, cortisol, melatonin, and what is actually happening in your body at night 13:00 How quantum biology helped Dr. Clinton fully heal from autoimmune disease and Lyme 17:00 Why returning to nature is not optional, it is a biological prescription 20:00 Fascia explained: the body's electrical communication network and why hydration matters more than you think 25:00 Grounding, bioelectricity, and how your body maintains its vital charge 30:00 Heart coherence: the five minute daily practice that improved mitochondrial function in research 33:00 Trauma, the microbiome, and why your gut bacteria might be trying to help you 38:00 What your E. coli overgrowth might actually be telling you about your mitochondria 41:00 How to start supporting your mitochondria today 43:00 Dr. Clinton's book Optimized: what is inside and where to get it Connect with Dr. Catherine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.catherineclinton/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.catherineclintonndYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.catherineclinton LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-clinton-17b87b42/ Website: https://www.drcatherineclinton.com/ Connect with Lizzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #QuantumBiology #MitochondriaHealth #HealingNaturally #DrCatherineClinton #CircadianRhythm #LightTherapy #Grounding #FasciaHealing #HeartCoherence #AutoimmuneHealing #NervousSystemHealth #FunctionalMedicine #WomensHealth #GutMicrobiome #NatureHeals #RedLightTherapy #ChronicIllnessRecovery #TheLizzieEnsShow #QuantumHealth #MindBodyHealing

    140: My Amish Upbringing, My Addiction, and How I Found Freedom

    What if every diet you have ever tried was never actually designed to teach you how to heal? In this deeply personal solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie pulls back the curtain on the journey that built Undiet You from the ground up. She takes you all the way back to growing up in the Amish community in Ohio, navigating relentless body comparison as a twin, developing an eating disorder as a teenager, cycling through fad diets in her early twenties, and ultimately finding her calling as a board-certified functional practitioner helping women break free from the dieting cycle for good. This is not a polished highlight reel. This is the raw, honest story of what it actually takes to go from chronic dieting and self-destruction to building a thriving life and business rooted in real healing, and why Lizzie believes that food freedom starts long before what is on your plate. If you have ever felt like no matter how hard you try, diets just do not work for you, this episode is the explanation and the permission slip you have been waiting for. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why diets don't work for women and what they are actually teaching your body insteadHow unaddressed emotional and mental patterns keep the dieting cycle spinning no matter what you eatWhy leaving diet culture behind requires healing from the inside out, not just changing what is on your plateHow Lizzie went from personal trainer to board-certified functional practitioner and why nutrition was the missing pieceWhy your hardest seasons are often the exact preparation for your greatest purposeWhat Undiet You is built on and why it goes far deeper than food and exercise We talk about: 00:00 Where Undiet You was really born01:00 Growing up Amish and getting her period at 1003:00 Being a twin and the comparison that started everything06:00 The night that changed how she saw herself08:00 How a disordered relationship with food developed without anyone naming it10:00 The pursuit of smallness and what it cost her health13:00 Leaving the Amish community and discovering processed food14:00 The Hollywood lemonade diet and why it wrecked her long term16:00 A history of fad diets and what none of them ever taught her20:00 Starting an online business in 2020 with a nine-month-old baby21:00 The drive to Sedona where Undiet You was born23:00 Why purpose always goes through hell first25:00 What it means to thrive instead of just survive27:00 The internal work that has to happen alongside food and fitness27:30 The Undiet You six-week program and how to join Connect with Lizzie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellnessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellnessTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellnessWebsite: https://undietyou.com/ #WhyDietsDontWork #FoodFreedom #WomensHealth #UndietYou #AntiDiet #FunctionalMedicine #HealingJourney #LizzieEns #DietCulture #HormoneHealth #GutHealth #MindsetShift #FunctionalNutrition #ChronicDieting #HealthCoach

In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down everything you need to know before you ever start a detox: why the lymphatic system has to be open and flowing first, what die-off symptoms are actually telling you, and why so many women make themselves sicker by detoxing before their gut, liver, kidneys, and colon are ready. This is not another episode telling you to grab a cleanse kit.
