    How Women Over 40 Can Lose Fat When Nothing You Used to Do Works Anymore

    Send us Fan Mail Do you feel busier than ever, yet suddenly unable to handle the stress, workouts, and endless to-do lists like you used to? Welcome to life and fitness after 40. In this episode, Erin sits down with Stephanie Crassweller, founder of Vitality OET and Hormone + Menopause Functional Health Coach, to unpack why the strategies that used to keep high-achieving women afloat—pushing harder, cutting more, sleeping less—stop working once hormones start to shift. Stephanie walks through your capacity bucket: why your stress tolerance quietly shrinks in perimenopause even when nothing else in your life has changed, why progesterone (not estrogen) is usually the first hormone to drop, and how years on birth control can leave your body without ever producing it naturally. They also cover why HRT won't fix weight gain on its own, how one bad night of sleep can spike insulin resistance by 25%, and the nervous system resets Stephanie actually uses to stay out of fight-or-flight.

    How to Lose Fat and Build Muscle in Midlife: Body Recomp for Women [Solo Episode]

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve tried to lose weight after kids and found that the old playbook from your 20s and 30s isn’t working, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I share my personal journey inside a dedicated body recomposition program, which helped me lose fat and build muscle in just 6 months. After years of overtraining and under-fueling—which eventually led to a wrecked metabolism, hormones and energy crashes—I realized the playbook of ‘move more eat less’ was not going to work in midlife.  In this episode, I break down the exact methods I used to lose 10 pounds, heal my metabolism, balance my hormones, and build real muscle. I break down this episode into three main sections—nutrition, fitness and lifestyle. I talk about reverse dieting—the strategy where you incrementally increase your daily caloric intake by 50 to 100 calories each week to heal your metabolism, restore hormonal balance, and prepare your body to be in a state where it can lose weight. Whether you want to lose fat, build muscle, or heal your metabolism, this episode is a full playbook on what body recomp entails!

    The High-Achieving Facade: Late-Stage ADHD, Executive Dysfunction and Mental Bandwidth with Katy Weber

    Send us Fan Mail Have you felt like everyone else received a manual to life that you somehow missed? In today's episode, we sit down with Katy Weber who is an ADHD advocate and coach, and host of the Women & ADHD podcast. Katy shares her personal story of being diagnosed during the pandemic at age of 45. Despite appearing as high-achieving, she was white-knuckling her way through daily life, battling internal hyperactivity, and mistaking her struggles for personal failure.   We dive deep into why so many women are overlooked by standard diagnostic tools, which were originally built around the behavior of young boys. Katy opens up about the eye-opening moments that changed everything—including how overcompensating to hide executive dysfunction leaves women completely exhausted.  Katy also shares why the real key to thriving with ADHD isn't a magical planner or app, but a radical shift in mindset toward self-acceptance, how she navigated her kids' ADHD diagnosis, the biggest misconceptions about adult ADHD, and what friends can do to better understand and support their friends with ADHD.

    What’s Really Wrecking Your Digestion & Cycle: Gut Health with Dr. Ashley de Luna

    Send us Fan Mail Have you tried elimination diets, cut out countless foods, and done random internet cleanses, only to find yourself still dealing with uncomfortable bloating, irregular periods and gut issues? In this episode, we sit down with licensed naturopathic doctor, yoga instructor, and women's health expert, Dr. Ashley de Luna. Dr. de Luna shares her personal journey navigating severe gut issues from her earlier days as a vegetarian to medical school, and reveals why the secret to her healing wasn't a restrictive vegan diet—it was regulating her nervous system.   We pull back the curtain on how the gut acts as our "second brain" and why true digestive wellness must start with a safe, grounded nervous system. Dr. de Luna breaks down the physiology of the vagus nerve and explains why eating while stressed prevents your body from properly releasing digestive enzymes. You will learn direct, actionable strategies to shift your body out of "fight or flight" and into a "rest and digest" state. We also touch on parasites, mold, leaky gut, and hormones, for a holistic conversation on gut health for women.

    The Impact of Microplastics on Women’s Health and How to Reduce Them with Dr. Megan Wolff

    Send us Fan Mail Is it actually possible to avoid microplastics in a world where they seem to be everywhere? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Megan Wolff, the Executive Director of the Physician and Scientist Network Addressing Plastics and Health (P-SNAP), to demystify the noise around plastic pollution. Dr. Wolff shares the research that has been done around microplastics and explains the difference between particle effects and chemical effects, revealing why the real danger often lies in the 16,000+ synthetic chemicals used to make plastic—many of which are known neurotoxicants and hormone disruptors.  We dive deep into the most impactful, easy swaps you can make today, specifically in the kitchen and your beauty routine. Dr. Wolff shares why you should ditch the non-stick pans for cast iron, the truth behind ‘microwave-safe’ labels, and how to tell if your laundry detergent is actually fragrance-free.  I’m excited for you to hear her tips—because the impact of microplastics are real, but there are some super simple and easy things we can do, to reduce our exposure and keep ourselves healthy. This conversation is not about fear-mongering; it’s about giving you the agency to make informed decisions for your family's long-term well-being.

    Overcoming Fear, Discomfort, and Grief with Elite Rock Climber Kelly Turner

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we sit down with elite rock climber and founder of Athena Rock Climbing, Kelly Turner, who takes us through her grueling 42-day expedition in the Canadian Arctic, where she led an all-female team to establish one of the hardest climbing routes in the world. Beyond the physical summit, Kelly shares how the outdoors became a sanctuary for processing profound personal loss, including the death of her mother and her recent experience with two miscarriages.   Kelly dives deep into the mental strategies that allow her to thrive in high-stakes environments, explaining how rock climbing serves as a superpower for handling life's unknowns.

    The Neurobiology of Grief: Brain Rewiring, Anxiety, and Mental Health Foundations with Dr. Tash

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when a psychologist who specializes in helping families through with mental health suddenly finds herself on the other side of the table? In this episode, Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos (known as Dr. Tash) shares her deeply personal journey of losing her father to glioblastoma. We dive into the eerie quiet that follows a medical battle, anticipatory grief, and the science of the grieving brain.   We also tackle the vast world of mental health and regulation.
