    Bloated, Tired, and Out of Answers? Your Gut Might Be Calling the Shots

    Send a text Is your gut secretly sabotaging your hormones, energy, and weight—no matter how “healthy” you try to eat? In this episode of the Intentional Health for Women podcast, host Garrett GQ Query takes you behind the curtain on what’s really going on when your digestion, mood, and body feel out of control—debunking the “just eat more greens” cliché and shining a spotlight on the realities of modern gut dysfunction. Meet Lexi—a busy mom who went from being terrified to eat (thanks to painful bloating, stubborn constipation, and exhaustion that left her unable to play with her son) to finally taking back her health. Lexi’s day-to-day was hustling to survive, grabbing caffeine and snacks on the run, and riding a blood sugar rollercoaster that amplified cravings and crashed her energy. Even after labs came back “normal,” she knew something was off. It took digging deeper—addressing her meal habits, stress, gut health, and even stealth factors like breast implants—before she could truly thrive again. In this raw, myth-busting conversation, you’ll learn: Why your gut is truly your body’s “hormone command center”—and 70-80% of your immune system lives there.How everyday routines like distracted eating, poor meal choices, and sitting all day set you up for digestive disaster.What a “modern mom hustle” day really does to your gut (and why meal plans alone can’t fix it).Why “normal” labs can miss hidden dysfunction—and which symptoms matter more than numbers.The basics every woman should know for true gut healing: intentional eating (not just what you eat but how), protein and fiber at every meal, managing your biofeedback, and supporting gut health beyond quick fixes or TikTok trends.A high-level, realistic gut game plan that doesn’t rely on fad diets or influencer protocols, but instead emphasizes real food, real lifestyle shifts, and relentless curiosity about your body’s feedback.If you’re tired, bloated, inflamed, and sick of being dismissed or gaslit for how you feel—this episode will have you nodding along, taking notes, and, most of all, realizing you’re not broken…and you’re definitely not alone. Don’t settle for surviving when you’re worthy of thriving. Listen, share, and take the first step toward your healthiest, most intentional self.

What we cover: Why the "eat less, move more" mantra is built for men's hormones, not women's complex 28-day cycleThe critical lab markers your doctor probably isn't checking (and why "normal" doesn't mean optimal)How chronic restriction and overtraining sabotage your hormones and gut healthThe science behind cycle-based nutrition and why you need 2-3% more calories during your luteal phasePractical strategies for training with your cycle, not against itWhy your period symptoms are red flags, not punishmentsIzzy's results in 12 weeks: 18 pounds down (mostly inflammation)Regulated, pain-free cyclesWaking up before her alarm with energyGlowing skin and deep sleepTraining only 2-3x per week with better resultsIf you've been told surgery is your only option, that your labs are "normal," or that you just need more willpower—this episode is your wake-up call.

    Insulin Resistance | Why Women Struggle to Lose Weight Despite Doing Everything Right

    Send a text  In this episode, Garrett "GQ" Query exposes the truth about why so many women struggle with weight loss despite "doing everything right." If you're a busy mom experiencing afternoon energy crashes, stubborn weight gain (especially around your midsection), and feeling like you need to starve yourself just to see the scale move, this episode reveals the hidden metabolic saboteur: insulin resistance. Drawing from his own journey of losing 180 pounds and overcoming serious health challenges, Garrett shares how the fitness industry's male-centric "eat less, move more" advice is metabolic suicide for many women. Through client success stories like Olivia, who went from restricting to 1300 calories to eating 1800-2000 calories while losing 26 pounds, you'll discover: Why normal blood sugar tests can completely miss insulin resistanceHow your current diet and lifestyle perfectly create insulin resistanceThe strategic protein timing trick that eliminates afternoon energy crashesWhy muscle building (not cardio) is your metabolic salvationThe shocking impact of sleep on insulin sensitivity (equivalent to 6 months on a high-sugar diet!)This isn't about willpower or discipline—it's about understanding your body's metabolic signals and working with them instead of against them. Discover the Intentional Strength Method that's helping women transform their relationship with food, energy, and their bodies. Remember: We are not normal! We are Intentional.

    How Sobriety Saved Laura’s Life After She Nearly Lost Everything

    Send a text This one hit deep. I sat down with my friend Laura, a former D1 athlete, sobriety warrior, and absolute powerhouse of resilience, to unpack the kind of life-altering moments that shake you to your core and show you what you're really made of. Laura’s story is wild. From nearly playing pro soccer to hitting rock bottom in addiction, to eight years sober, surviving a traumatic brain injury, and battling black mold toxicity, this woman has been through it. But what blew me away most was how she still shows up, not as a victim, but as a fighter. She talked about healing from the inside out, what sobriety really feels like, and the invisible wounds that too many of us carry in silence. We also talked about childhood trauma, the pressure of performance, faith, purpose, and the cost of always running from the pain. Laura reminded me, and hopefully reminds you, that healing isn't linear, but it’s always possible. If you’ve ever felt like life knocked you down one too many times, this one’s for you. Hit play. You won’t walk away the same.

    Women Are Getting Sicker, Sooner! Christina Blames This Silent Epidemic & It’s NOT Your Hormones!

    Send a text In this episode of the Intentional Health for Women podcast, I sit down with Christina Hathaway, a former therapist turned food and body obsession specialist, and one of the most influential voices I’ve ever heard in the mental health and wellness space. Christina has walked through trauma, burnout, healing, and reinvention, and today she opens up about how our earliest family dynamics shape not just our beliefs but our bodies, habits, hormones, and health outcomes as adults. We talk about codependency, perfectionism, and how trauma doesn’t always look like what we think it does. Christina shares what “death by a thousand paper cuts” trauma is and why it matters more than we realize. We dive deep into how burnout, emotional suppression, and unresolved pain often show up as thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, autoimmunity, and weight loss resistance. If you’ve ever wondered why your healthiest habits aren’t getting results, or why your emotional well-being feels out of sync with your physical body, this conversation is for you. This is about healing from the inside out, about learning to choose you, even in the mess. We’re not here for surface-level fixes. We’re here to do the work.
