    #141 How to Build a Body That Lasts a Lifetime

    Healthy aging doesn't start at menopause...it starts with the choices you make today. When most people think about preparing for menopause, they picture hormone therapy, hot flashes, or supplements. But what if the foundation for a healthier menopause is built decades before those symptoms ever begin? In this episode of Becca Babbles Podcast, I shares one of the biggest takeaways from her graduate research in Functional Nutrition, a question that completely changed the way she thinks about women's health: Could the way we fuel (or under-fuel) our bodies during our reproductive years influence how we experience menopause later in life? Drawing from the latest research on low energy availability (LEA), Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), and the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, I explores why healthy aging is about much more than calories or the number on the scale. She explains how nutrition, movement, stress, sleep, and muscle mass work together to build what she calls physiological resilience. The body's ability to adapt to life's biggest transitions. In this episode, you'll learn: Why healthy aging begins long before menopause.What low energy availability is and why it affects far more than your menstrual cycle.How chronic under-fueling can impact your hormones, metabolism, bones, muscle, mood, and overall health.What the Minnesota Starvation Experiment teaches us about the body's response to prolonged energy deficiency.Why building muscle, eating enough, prioritizing quality sleep, and supporting your body with nutrient-dense foods may be some of the best investments you can make for your future health. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or already navigating menopause, this episode will encourage you to stop asking, "How do I survive aging?" and start asking, "How do I prepare for it?" Because the choices you make today are helping build the body you'll live in for decades to come.

    #140 The End of an Era | Tri 10 Recap & Graduating Chiropractic School

    Well... it's official. I'm a doctor of chiropractor. In this episode of the Becca Babbles Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the biggest milestones of my life. I am graduating from chiropractic school and officially earning the title of Doctor. It still feels surreal, and I'm reflecting on everything that got me here: the highs, the hard days, the lessons, and the incredible people who helped shape me along the way. I share what my clinical-based internship (CBI) was really like, the patient cases that changed how I think as a clinician, and why learning from amazing mentors completely transformed the way I approach chiropractic care. We also talk about why reassurance is one of the most powerful tools you can give a patient, why manual therapy still matters, and how every patient teaches you something if you're willing to listen. I'm also sharing what it's been like stepping into this next chapter, from interviewing for jobs and building connections to navigating the excitement (and nerves) of becoming a new doctor. If you're a chiropractic student, a healthcare professional, or just someone who loves hearing about personal growth and chasing big dreams, I think you'll really enjoy this episode. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Here's to new beginnings, lifelong learning, and helping people take charge of their health. In this episode, I talk about: What graduation day actually felt likeLessons from my clinical-based internship (CBI)The patient cases I'll never forgetWhy reassurance and communication are just as important as treatmentLearning from incredible mentorsBuilding confidence as a new chiropractorNavigating interviews and finding the right jobBecoming the kind of clinician I always hoped I'd be Whether you're in chiropractic school, already practicing, or simply curious about what this journey looks like, I hope this episode encourages you to keep learning, keep growing, and trust that every step is preparing you for what's next.

    #139 When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan

    No matter how much we plan, prepare, and work hard, life doesn't always go the way we expect. Trust me...I know. In today's episode, I'm sharing a lesson I'm currently learning in real time. Recently, something didn't work out the way I hoped, and I found myself frustrated, disappointed, and questioning everything. Whether you've been rejected from a job, didn't get the internship, failed a test, missed a goal, or simply watched your plans fall apart, this episode is for you. We'll talk about: Why you can do everything "right" and still not get the outcome you wantedThe importance of feeling your emotions instead of suppressing themWhy failure isn't a reflection of your worthHow to stop letting fear of other people's opinions control your lifeFinding lessons in life's disappointmentsLearning to surrender when things are outside your control If you're walking through a season of uncertainty or disappointment, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone.

    #136 Train Harder, Recover Faster: The Science of Rhodiola

    Most athletes and fitness enthusiasts overlook one powerful performance-enhancing herb: Rhodiola. Known as the "golden root," this ancient adaptogen may help improve endurance, reduce fatigue, enhance recovery, and boost mental focus without the crash or jitters of stimulants. In this episode, I break down the science behind Rhodiola, exploring how its active compounds, rosavin and salidroside, impact physical and mental performance. You'll learn what current research says about perceived exertion, heart rate, recovery, strength, and endurance, plus how the effects differ when taken before a workout versus consistently over time. I also shares practical dosing recommendations, timing strategies, and who may benefit most from adding Rhodiola to their routine. Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or simply looking for a natural way to improve resilience and performance, this episode will help you decide if Rhodiola deserves a place in your supplement stack.

    #135 From Research to Real Life Results with Dr. Brandon Beckerman DC

    How do you actually know what health and fitness advice to trust? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brandon Beckerman, a sports chiropractor and Clinic Faculty Doctor at Parker University, to break down some of the biggest questions people have when it comes to movement, rehab, and overall health. We talk about how to spot good vs. misleading research (without needing a science degree), so you can feel more confident in the choices you’re making for your body. We also dive into isometric exercises. What they are, why they matter, and how they can help with everything from injury recovery to getting stronger and more stable in everyday life. And of course, we tackle a big topic: 👉 Is there really such a thing as perfect movement… or have we been overthinking it this whole time? This episode is all about simplifying the noise, understanding your body better, and giving you practical tools you can actually use. Whether you’re working out, recovering from an injury, or just trying to move and feel better.

    #134 Stop Playing Small: Tri 9 Lessons Before Internship

    Tri 9 hits different and if you know, you know. In this episode, I’m breaking down what makes the last trimester of student clinic on campus such a unique and powerful experience. After grinding through Tri 1–7, something shifts, and Tri 9 becomes a whole new level of growth, confidence, and ownership as you step closer to internship and becoming a doctor. This isn’t the end, but it is the end of your time in student clinic at school… and that means it’s your opportunity to make the most of every rep, every patient, and every challenge before stepping into the next level. I’m sharing what I’ve learned inside clinic, why this is the time to stop playing small, and how challenging yourself with harder cases will shape the doctor you’re becoming. We’ll talk about the power of asking better questions, stepping into uncertainty, and why the students who grow the most are the ones willing to get uncomfortable. I also dive into: How to start bringing in external patients (and why this matters more than you think)What it actually looks like to choose a CBI and how to make the right decision for youThe mindset shift that separates average interns from standout future doctors If you’re in clinic right now or about to be, this episode is your reminder to make it count. Because while Tri 10 is coming… this chapter of student clinic won’t last forever.
