Girls Gone Wellness

Jeanette Titus & Victoria Gasparini

Girls Gone Wellness is the smart, sexy, science-backed wellness podcast flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about health. If you’re doing all the “right” things like eating 'clean', taking the supplements, following the skincare routine, and still breaking out, burnt out, or just not feeling like yourself, you are not the problem. The problem is that the wellness world wasn’t built for real women, with real bodies, real stress, and real questions that deserve better than vague advice and viral trends. Hosted by naturopathic medical grads Jeanette Titus and Victoria Gasparini, we’re cutting through the noise with no fear-mongering, and no fluff. Just real talk, real science, and real solutions. This isn’t another influencer podcast. It’s evidence-based, unfiltered, and actually makes sense. Welcome to Girls Gone Wellness-where wellness is hot, smart, and finally feels like it’s for you.

    How to Talk So People Actually Listen (and Change) with Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, PhD

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever given someone all the advice in the world, explained exactly what they need to do… and then watched them do absolutely none of it? Here's the thing: knowing how to help someone and knowing how to help them actually CHANGE are two very different skills. In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, a leading expert in behaviour change, coaching, and communication, to unpack the psychology behind why people change (and why they don't). Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, coach, parent, partner, or simply someone who wants to have better conversations, this episode is for you. We're getting into: Why giving more advice isn't always the answer (and can actually backfire)Motivational interviewing and how to ask questions that inspire reflection and changeThe art of listening, getting comfortable with silence, and giving people space to thinkWhy people seem resistant to change, even when they genuinely want things to be differentHow to help patients and clients make meaningful, sustainable changesWhy empathy, curiosity, and connection are some of the most powerful tools we haveBecause sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do for someone isn't to give them another piece of information. It's to make them feel heard. We loved this conversation so much that Vic went out and bought Krista's textbook and is planning to take her course!

    Rewire Your Brain For A Happier Winter: Beating Seasonal Depression With Co-Host Victoria Gasparini

    Send us Fan Mail The days are getting shorter, the sun is disappearing before dinner, and suddenly everything feels a little harder. Sound familiar? In this solo episode, Vic (now officially a Naturopathic Doctor!) is bringing back a conversation that feels especially relevant this time of year: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the impact the colder, darker months can have on our mood, energy, motivation, and mental health. From the winter blues to more significant seasonal mood changes, we're breaking down what's happening in your brain and body when daylight becomes harder to come by, and more importantly, what you can actually do about it. Vic shares some of the research behind light therapy, vitamin D, saffron, and exercise (yes, unfortunately, movement makes the list again), alongside practical ways to build routines that support your mental health through the winter. We're also talking about the emotional side of the season: finding a balance between comfort and discomfort, creating small moments of joy, and making space for spiritual connection, whether that's through prayer, journaling, or a little quiet time to yourself. Because while we can't control how early the sun sets, we can be intentional about how we care for ourselves through it. Want more personalized support?

    Hormone Myths: Cortisol, Thyroid & Hormone Testing with Endocrinologist Dr. Karl Nadolsky

    Send us Fan Mail Do your hormones need “balancing” or is someone selling you a problem? In this episode of Girls Gone Wellness, Jeanette and Victoria sit down with endocrinologist and Docs Who Lift co-host Dr. Karl Nadolsky to unpack hormone health, hormone testing, and the wellness claims flooding your feed. From “estrogen dominance” and “adrenal fatigue” to expensive DUTCH tests and testosterone pellets, we ask what these claims actually mean, what deserves investigation, and where marketing gets ahead of the evidence. Dr. Nadolsky explains how an endocrinologist approaches symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods, and weight changes—and why more testing doesn’t automatically mean better care. We get into: Hormone imbalance: what the phrase tells you and what it leaves out.DUTCH testing, estrogen detoxes, and the questions to ask before paying for a hormone panel.Cortisol, chronic stress, and the difference between “adrenal fatigue” and adrenal insufficiency.Thyroid testing, including TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3, and the debate over “optimal” levels.Hypothyroidism treatment, from levothyroxine to desiccated thyroid and combination therapy.Perimenopause, testosterone therapy for women, and concerns about hormone pellets.Low testosterone in men and the role of sleep, chronic illness, and lifestyle.

    Why Am I Like This? The Dating Patterns You Keep Repeating with Sabrina Zohar

    Send us Fan Mail Ever find yourself dating the same person in a different body, ignoring red flags, chasing the spark, or wondering why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns? Sabrina Zohar is here to help us unpack WHY. In this episode of Girls Gone Wellness, we're joined by dating and relationship coach, host of The Sabrina Zohar Show, and author of Why Am I Like This?, Sabrina Zohar, for one of our most personal, honest, and eye-opening conversations yet. And when we say personal, we mean it. If you've been listening to GGW for a while, you know Victoria's dating life has become somewhat of a running joke on the podcast. But after reading an advance copy of Sabrina's book (which she genuinely says changed her life), it was time to get into the patterns, behaviours, and beliefs that keep showing up in our relationships. And yes, that includes Victoria's decision to take six months off dating. We get into attachment styles, anxious attachment, dating anxiety, emotional availability, boundaries, self-sabotage, and the difference between chemistry and compatibility. We also challenge some of the most popular dating advice circulating online, including whether “if he wanted to, he would” is actually helpful, why we put so much weight on texting, and whether that intense spark is always something worth chasing. Sabrina shares her own experiences with unhealthy relationship patterns, what it actually takes to change your behaviour, and why becoming more self-aware doesn't automatically mean you'll stop repeating the same mistakes. In this episode, we talk about: Why we keep attracting or choosing the same types of partnersAnxious attachment, dating anxiety, and the need for validationThe difference between chemistry, compatibility, and emotional capacityWhy the spark might not mean what you think it meansDating apps, texting anxiety, and unrealistic relationship expectationsSetting boundaries without abandoning your own needsHow childhood experiences can influence adult relationshipsWhether taking a break from dating actually helps you healWhy understanding your patterns is only part of changing themWhat healthy dating and relationships can actually look likeAnd perhaps the biggest takeaway? You can understand exactly why you do something and still struggle to stop doing it. Whether you're single, navigating modern dating, happily partnered, or trying to better understand yourself, this conversation goes so much further than dating advice. It's about the patterns we carry into our relationships, the ways we abandon ourselves, and what it really means to start doing things differently. Sabrina's new book, Why Am I Like This?, is out October 13, 2026, and we cannot recommend it enough. If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?”, this episode is for you.

    Stop Trying to Bounce Back: Pregnancy, Heavy Lifting & Postpartum Recovery with Personal Trainer Tasha Leung

    Send us Fan Mail Pregnancy and postpartum  fitness advice can really crazy really fast One minute women are being told to lift heavy, build muscle, and get stronger-and then the second they become pregnant, suddenly it’s, “Be careful. Don’t lift too much. Don’t get your heart rate too high. Don’t do core.” Then postpartum hits, and somehow the messaging flips again: now you’re supposed to lose the baby weight, “get your body back,” and return to normal as quickly as possible. This week, we’re talking about what strength training during pregnancy and postpartum should actually look like. We’re joined by pre- and postnatal trainer and female physiology researcher Tasha Leung to break down some of the biggest myths around lifting while pregnant, core training, diastasis recti, Kegels, pelvic floor function, the six-week postpartum clearance, C-section recovery, and the pressure women feel to bounce back after having a baby.

    Want a Healthy Brain at 80? Here’s What to Do in Your 20s, 30s & 40s With Barbie Boules, RD

    Send us Fan Mail What should you be doing in your 20s, 30s and 40s if you want a healthy brain at 80? This week, we’re joined by registered dietitian and cognitive health expert Barbie Boules to talk about what we actually know about protecting our brains as we age and why brain health deserves our attention long before we start worrying about dementia. Barbie has been a registered dietitian for over 25 years, and her work has become increasingly focused on women’s health, healthy aging and cognitive health. After her mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, the conversation around dementia prevention and protecting cognitive function also became deeply personal for her. We talk about the connection between cardiovascular health and brain health, including cholesterol, ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, insulin resistance and body composition, and why many of the things we do to protect our hearts may also matter for our brains. We also get into brain fog and normal forgetfulness, social media and our shrinking attention spans, multitasking, AI and whether outsourcing our thinking could have consequences for cognitive health. Then, of course, we talk nutrition: the MIND diet, berries, leafy greens, whole grains, fatty fish, coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements. Plus, Barbie breaks down what we actually know about menopause and cognition, including the viral claim that your brain starts to “eat itself” when estrogen declines. In this episode, we cover: • How early brain health and cognitive decline should be on our radar • Normal forgetfulness vs. changes worth paying attention to • Modifiable risk factors for dementia and cognitive decline • The connection between cholesterol, metabolic health and brain health • Whether social media, multitasking and AI are changing how we use our brains • The MIND diet and what to eat for long-term brain health • Coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements for cognitive health • Menopause, estrogen and the female brain • Cognitive reserve and why protecting your brain involves more than doing Sudoku • The realistic habits you can start now to support a healthier brain later If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your brain healthy as you age, whether brain fog is something to worry about, or what actually matters for reducing your risk of cognitive decline, this episode is for you.

    From Side Hustle to Six-Figure Business with Dainty Diamond Founder Jess Fried

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really take to leave the security of a 9-5 and bet on your own idea? We sit down with Jess Fried, founder of the Toronto based jewelry company Dainty Diamond, to unpack how a side hustle that began through Instagram DMs grew into a six-figure jewelry business within her first year. Jess gets honest about the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship-from navigating imposter syndrome to reinvesting most of what the business made, missing social events and learning to trust her own decisions.  We also talk about some of the most controversial aspects of the diamond and jewelry business where Jess breaks down the difference between the different types of gold jewelry and what to look out for, whether luxury pieces are actually worth their price tags; lab-grown versus natural diamonds; engagement-ring budgets; and what really determines a diamond’s quality. Whether you’re building a business, dreaming about leaving your job or trying to avoid overpaying for your next piece of jewelry, this episode is a must listen!

    Why Weight Loss Feels Harder With PCOS/PMOS, And What Actually Works With Dr. Nastasia Irons, ND

    Send us Fan Mail If you have PCOS/PMOS and feel like weight loss is harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else, this episode is for you. Dr. Nastasia Irons is back on Girls Gone Wellness for a second time, and after her first episode on body recomposition became one of our most listened-to episodes, we knew we had to bring her back. This time, we’re talking all about PCOS/PMOS and weight management, including why weight loss really can feel more difficult, what role insulin resistance and inflammation play, and why simply telling women to “eat less and move more” misses a huge part of the picture. We also break down some of the biggest myths and questions we see online, including: Is weight loss actually harder with PCOS/PMOS?Can eating too little make things worse?Do you need to go low-carb?Is fruit bad for insulin resistance?Is HIIT really harmful for your hormones?Why is strength training so important?What does an ideal exercise routine look like?Can the Mediterranean diet help?Where do GLP-1 medications and metformin fit in?Do supplements like inositol and berberine actually work?We also talk about why PCOS has been renamed PMOS, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, and why this new name better reflects the fact that this condition affects far more than reproductive health alone. If you’ve ever felt confused, discouraged, or overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice around PCOS/PMOS, weight loss, carbs, exercise, insulin resistance and supplements, this episode will help you understand what actually matters. And if you haven’t listened to Dr. Irons’ first episode with us on body recomposition, make sure to go back and listen to that one next.
