    A January Reset: Life Updates, Reflections, and Slowing Down in the New Year

    In this episode, I'm sharing a January update as I shift into a slower season after the intensity of the holidays. Rest is something I intentionally prioritize this time of year and January is the perfect time for a natural reset. I also walk you through how I approach my annual intentions ritual (which I shared in episode #71 a couple weeks ago). I talk about how I look back on the past year, identify what feels aligned to carry forward, what doesn't, and how I set actionable dream goals for the year ahead.    Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Join the waitlist for functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – It's finally winter in San Diego 04:36 – Do kids get bored anymore? 09:46 – A post-holiday reset 12:05 – My annual intentions ritual (see episode #71) 15:14 – The impact of setting intentions 17:48 – Our holiday season    I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    Are You in Survival Mode? Simple Steps to Reset Your Nervous System and Restore Energy

    When life feels like a nonstop cycle of to-do lists, deadlines, and obligations, it's easy to get stuck in survival mode without even realizing it.

  6. Fuel Metabolism Through Food: Why Restriction Backfires and How to Support Long-Term Metabolic Health

    11/28/2025

    Fuel Metabolism Through Food: Why Restriction Backfires and How to Support Long-Term Metabolic Health

    When it comes to metabolism, you might think that eating less, skipping meals, or cutting calories will help you lose weight. In reality, restriction has the opposite effect: it slows your metabolism, spikes stress hormones, disrupts blood sugar, and drains your energy. Over time, it can impact everything from your thyroid and fertility to your mood and immunity. In this episode, I share why restrictive eating backfires, what true food freedom looks like, and how nourishing your body with enough protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs is essential for long-term metabolic health. And because this restrictive mindset often shows up even more strongly during the holidays, we'll also talk about how to move through the season feeling grounded and guilt-free.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is ideal for you? → • Join the waitlist for 1:1 functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram for more →   In this episode: 01:05 — Restriction vs. food freedom 04:37 — Skipping meals, caffeine, and over-exercising 06:52 — An all-or-nothing mindset will backfire 08:53 —  Energy, hormones, digestion,fertility, mood, immunity 11:32 — What food freedom really looks like 16:49 — The physical & mental benefits 17:35 — Mindset shifts to support better habits 19:38 — Practical tips for food freedom   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  7. The Truth About Postpartum: What Really Happens After Birth and How I Healed

    11/21/2025

    The Truth About Postpartum: What Really Happens After Birth and How I Healed

    Life update! This episode is a real one. I'm about seven weeks postpartum and finally feeling ready to talk about what these last two months have truly been like. I'm sharing the parts we don't usually say out loud: how the shock of labor stayed with me long after we got home, how intense the early hormone swings were, the moments I didn't recognize myself at all, and the way my body slowly healed. I'm also sharing what has helped: the support I lean on, the simple rituals that ground me, the supplements and testing I'm doing, and the mindset that carried me through the hardest days. If you're anywhere in the postpartum experience (preparing for it, deep in it, reflecting back on it, or supporting someone you love through it), I hope this episode makes you feel less alone and more understood.   Resources: • Which test is ideal for you? → • Join the waitlist to work with me → • Follow me on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 — Shifting with the season change 05:32 — Balancing motherhood and work 07:37 — What I was missing going into birth 10:50 — Noah's guest appearance on the pod  11:13 — The early (hormonal) postpartum weeks 13:35 — What helped me heal physically + mentally 14:38 — Letting go of expectations 16:34 — Taking care of my physical body 17:19 — Supplements and testing for me (& baby!) 19:19 — Advice for healing postpartum   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
