Dropping a very timely episode today with so many great strategies and tips for you to be able to make it through the holidays while prioritizing your health. As we head into a busy season, imagine getting to January 2 and feeling energized, proud of yourself, on track with your goals and ready to take on a new year!

Molly Brown, personal trainer, certified nutritionist and dietary supplement professional, joins me on this episode to help us think through how to be health-smart through this season.

It’s all completely possible when you adopt/keep some healthy, practical habits through the holiday season, such as:


Prioritizing a nutritious, low sugar breakfast to start your day off right.
Eating mindfully at holiday parties (how you approach sweets or fill your plate).
Intentional approach to your calendar to avoid a lot of stress.
Go for a walk after meals.
Try to move a little every day - even if it’s for a short time. 
Continually over indulging, avoiding exercise, suppressing your immune system and putting yourself under a lot of stress is a recipe for regret. 

The tips in this episode can help you end the winter holidays feeling great!

Dr. Monique has been practicing as a naturopathic doctor out of Connecticut for 12 years. She has an incredible story of healing that led her to do what she is doing today, helping others find healing too. 

First we talk about the difference between a naturopathic and allopathic doctor. As well as some of the common conditions she sees in patients. 

Then we discuss Dr. Monique’s 5 pillars of health!


Sleep: Your body’s nightly reset. We discuss tips for good sleep and why  this is number one!
Hormones: the orchestra of your well-being. We spend a good bit of the time here discussing stress hormones, which connects to Dr. Monique’s own personal story, and mine!
Detoxification: out with the old and in with the new. We discuss what detox actually is and how that process works in the body.
Stress Management: Your secret weapon against chaos in your body.
Nutrition: fueling your way to radiant health. Here we chat about the foundations of healthy eating and steps for improving your diet. 

Listen in for all the details.

All things babies! This is your chance to hear from a health expert on topics like infertility, healthy pregnancies, postpartum challenges, unexpected pregnancies and high-needs children. 

Starting with emotional stories of Dr. McCauley’s legacy and her emotional journey through infertility, this episode really digs deep into all things women’s health through pregnancy and postpartum.

We discuss the emotional impacts of infertility and some common factors that are often overlooked for mom AND dad, such as diet, work environment and exposure to harmful chemicals.

Next, we discuss important things to consider for a healthy pregnancy and Dr. McCauley focuses us in on lifestyle factors.  Pregnant moms need to be mindful of what they eat and drink, of course, but also what they take into their body through their environment. Remember to focus on gratitude and peace! And don’t neglect chiropractic care. 

As you approach time for labor and delivery, Dr. Nicole shares some great tips to help that go as smoothly as possible, and encourages mamas to know their negotiables and non-negotiables ahead of time. Be sure to communicate those things with your birth partners and care team.

Then what about care for mamas after delivery? Dr. McCauley shares very passionately about meeting the needs of moms post-partum in that “fourth trimester”. Moms not only have physical needs and healing to go through, but also psychological, mental and emotional needs. We chat about ways to help well in this season.

Menopause has a lot of stigma around it, being known for hot flashes, mood swings, and weight gain.  But does it have to be that way?

Zora Benhamou joins for this episode. As a gerontologist, biohacker and health coach, she brings a hopeful perspective on all things menopause. Including how to be prepared for it if you’re not there. 

We will get a definition of premature menopause, early onset menopause, pre-menopause, perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause. 

Her description of what to look for in each stage is very helpful. The typical signs and symptoms can often be unwanted or uncomfortable, such as insulin resistance, weight gain, saggy skin, depression, moodiness, anxiety, wrinkles, harder to build muscle, brain fog, and vaginal dryness.

After Zora explains why this is happening,  I ask her to help us understand some biohacking tools that would be helpful for women in various menopause stages.
