    61. Entering Perimenopause? 5 Smart Moves to Support Your Body Before Menopause

    Hi Listeners!  Perimenopause—the 10-ish years leading up to menopause—can feel like a mystery no one prepared us for. In this episode, I break down what’s really happening in your body during this transition and why so many women feel unsupported, overwhelmed, and depleted. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m sharing my own journey and why I’m so grateful I made key health changes before menopause—changes that have helped me feel better now than I did in my 30s. You’ll learn my five smart moves to support your body through perimenopause and beyond, including building muscle for metabolic health, eating enough protein, using fat for fuel, restoring critical minerals, narrowing your eating window, and learning to truly rest in a busy, distracted world. We’ll also talk about blood sugar, bone health, stress, faith, and why slowing down may be one of the most powerful hormone-supporting tools you have. If you’re ready to stop feeling worn down and start entering this season with strength, clarity, and joy—this episode is for you. ✨ Ready for a reset?

    60. Endocrine Disruptors 101: How Xenoestrogens Hijack Your Hormones, Energy, and Metabolism

    Hi Listeners!    Endocrine disruptors are everywhere—and for many women, they’re a missing piece in the hormone, weight loss, fatigue, and mood puzzle. In this episode, Amanda and I break down what endocrine disruptors actually are, how they interfere with your hormones, metabolism, thyroid, blood sugar, and gut health, and why so many women are struggling without realizing the root cause. We talk through where these toxins hide in everyday life—from plastics and personal care products to cleaning supplies and food packaging—and why “normal exposure” doesn’t mean harmless. You’ll also walk away with practical, realistic ways to reduce your toxic load without becoming overwhelmed or obsessive. This isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom, stewardship of your body, and creating an environment where your hormones can finally function the way God designed them to. If you’ve been dealing with stubborn weight, low energy, mood swings, or hormone chaos, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a simple starting point.

    59. Struggling with Eczema, Itching, or Acne? 4 Nutritional Gut Health Fixes to Heal Your Skin Naturally

    Hi Listeners!    In This Episode, We Break Down: Are you struggling with eczema, itching, or adult acne that never seems to go away? In today’s episode, we break down the powerful connection between gut health, inflammation, hormones, and your skin, and how the foods you eat—and the foods you think are harmless—may be driving your symptoms. You’ll learn why steroid creams and spot treatments only mask the problem, how leaky gut triggers chronic skin flare-ups, and what God may be showing you through the symptoms you’re experiencing. We walk through four natural, gut-focused fixes that support clearer skin from the inside out: healing intestinal permeability, removing inflammatory foods (especially dairy and processed wheat), supporting detox pathways, and balancing hormones through blood sugar control. You’ll also hear my own story of battling acne into my 40s—and the exact shifts that transformed everything. If you want clearer skin, better energy, and confidence from the inside out, this episode will give you the hope and practical steps you’ve been praying for.

    58. Food Noise: What Your Hunger Hormones (Leptin and Ghrelin) Are Telling You

    Hi Listeners!    In This Episode, We Break Down: In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into food noise — that constant mental chatter about food that leaves so many women feeling frustrated, preoccupied, and exhausted. If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why you’re thinking about food all day, craving something sweet after every meal, or feeling hungry again right after you eat, you’re not alone. We unpack the real root causes behind food noise, from disrupted hunger hormones like leptin and ghrelin to nutrient deficiencies, processed foods, stress, decision fatigue, and restrictive dieting. You’ll learn how sleep, blood sugar, gut health, meal timing, and truly nourishing your body can dramatically quiet the cravings and restore balance to your hunger hormones. But we’re also going deeper — because food noise isn’t just physical. It can become spiritual when it starts dominating your thoughts and stealing your peace. Scripture reminds us, “I will not be dominated by anything” (1 Corinthians 6:12), and yet so many women feel mentally captive to food without even realizing it. In this episode, we explore how obedience, temperance, and inviting God into your health journey can break the cycle and restore the freedom He designed for you. If you’re ready to calm the noise, support your metabolism, and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit, this episode will empower you with the education and encouragement to take the next step.

    56. Why Counting Macros for Weight Loss Isn't Getting You Results and What to Track Instead for Better Energy, Focus, Moods, and Metabolism

    Hi Listeners!  Are you exhausted from counting macros, logging every bite, and still not seeing the results you hoped for? You’re not alone, friend. In this episode, we’re talking about why macro and calorie counting doesn’t tell the whole story — especially when it comes to your hormones, metabolism, and gut health. You’ll learn how food quality and blood sugar stability play a much bigger role in your energy, mood, and weight than the numbers in your tracking app ever could. I’ll share why “if it fits your macros” can actually keep you stuck, and how blood sugar reveals what’s really happening in your body when you eat. If you’re ready to ditch the overwhelm of macro counting and finally start eating in a way that supports your metabolism and hormonal balance, this episode is your roadmap. You’ll walk away with practical ways to monitor your blood sugar, simple food swaps that calm cravings and improve energy, and a faith-filled reminder that your body isn’t broken — it’s just asking for a different kind of care. Share this episode with a friend who’s been stuck in the calorie-counting cycle and tag me on social media with your biggest “aha!” moment. Let’s help more women find freedom, balance, and peace in the way they nourish their bodies. Ready to feel empowered?  Grab your earbuds and listen in!

    55. The Shocking Truth About Wheat and Gluten: Why It Could Be the Biggest Reason You Struggle with Weight, Moods, and Feeling Tired All of the Time

    Hi Listeners!  If you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or brain fog — even while eating “healthy” — your daily wheat habit might be to blame. In this episode, we’re uncovering how modern wheat affects gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and hormone balance. You’ll learn why today’s wheat is not the same as what our grandparents ate, how it can damage the gut lining and slow your metabolism, and what to eat instead to finally feel lighter, clearer, and more energized. We break down the science in a simple, real-life way — helping you connect the dots between wheat, poor digestion, and metabolic slowdowns. You’ll walk away with practical swaps, easy gut-healing tips, and a 2-week “wheat-free” experiment to help you see how much better your body can feel. If you’ve been feeling bloated, moody, or stuck, this episode will open your eyes to one of the biggest hidden culprits affecting women’s health today.
