    65. Stressed, Tired, and Snappy? How Chronic Stress Is Wrecking Your Health—and 6 Simple Ways to Find Peace Again

    Hi Listeners!  Do you feel tired before the day even starts, snappy with your kids, anxious for no clear reason, or stuck in a body that feels inflamed and heavy no matter how “right” you eat or how hard you try? In this episode, we uncover how chronic stress quietly wreaks havoc on your hormones, digestion, mood, sleep, and weight—and why doing more is often making things worse. You’ll learn what’s actually happening inside your nervous system, how survival mode keeps your body from healing, and why these symptoms are not a failure—but a sign your body is trying to protect you. Through real-life stories, science made simple, and a grace-filled Christian perspective, you’ll begin to see stress in a whole new way. We also walk through 6 simple, practical ways to calm your nervous system and invite peace back into your body and home—without adding more pressure to your plate. From a 2-minute daily reset, eating before coffee, creating margin, shifting your mindset through prayer, prioritizing sleep as stewardship, and harnessing the powerful calming effects of connection and oxytocin, these are small starts that lead to real healing. If you’re a busy mom who loves God but feels stretched thin, this episode will remind you that rest is not laziness—it’s obedience, healing, and trust. You were never meant to carry it all alone, and God meets you right in the middle of your surrender. Ready to feel empowered?  Grab your earbuds and listen in!

    64. How Your Bloating (and Other Digestive Issues) Could Be Responsible for Your Poor Moods, Low Energy, and Inability to Lose Weight

    Hi Listeners!  Have you ever wondered why bloating, constipation, diarrhea, low energy, anxiety, and weight gain so often show up together? In this episode, we dive deep into the connection between your gut microbiome and your moods, metabolism, and motivation. You’ll learn why digestive symptoms are not normal, how an overgrowth of bad bacteria can steal your nutrients, disrupt hormones, and lower key neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—and why simply adding probiotics or fiber can sometimes make symptoms worse. I also walk you through practical, realistic steps you can start today to support a healthier gut ecosystem—without overcomplicating food or giving up meals you love. From smarter food swaps and fiber strategies to stress reduction, faith, and connection, this episode will help you understand how healing your digestion can transform your energy, cravings, weight loss, and overall quality of life. If you’re tired of just surviving and ready to truly thrive, this episode is for you. Ready to feel empowered?  Grab your earbuds and listen in!

    63. Why Blood Sugar Monitoring Should Be Your 2026 Goal- For Better Energy, Moods, and Weight Loss

    Hi Listeners!  If you’ve ever said, “I feel like I’m doing everything right, but I’m just not getting the results I should,” this episode is for you. Blood sugar monitoring is often the missing link behind low energy, mood swings, stubborn weight, and hormone struggles — especially for busy women. In this episode, we talk about how unstable blood sugar impacts insulin, energy production, aging, fat storage, stress hormones, and even your emotional resilience. I break down why spikes and crashes leave you tired, anxious, and frustrated — and how learning to stabilize your blood sugar can completely change how you feel in your body. We also talk about why blood sugar monitoring is personalized nutrition — because what works for one woman may not work for another (and that’s by design). You’ll learn how stress alone can raise blood sugar, why insulin plays a massive role in hormone health at every stage of life, and how small, realistic “hacks” can lead to massive wins without restriction. From a faith-based lens, this is about stewardship, not striving — learning how God designed your body to work so you can show up with more patience, joy, and presence for the people you love. 👉 Reminder: Our FREE Metabolic Reset Masterclass starts TODAY — it’s not too late to sign up!

    62. Why Your Goal Setting Strategy Isn’t Working and Creating Systems That Build Sustainable Habits

    Hi Listeners!  Why do so many motivated, capable moms keep setting health goals—yet feel stuck in the same cycle year after year? In this episode, we’re breaking down why traditional goal setting often backfires for busy moms and how learning to build simple systems can create lasting freedom from yo-yo dieting. We’ll explore the difference between goals and processes, why focusing on the endpoint can lead to frustration and paralysis, and how identity-based habits help you become the kind of woman who naturally lives out her health goals. You’ll hear why integrity with yourself matters just as much as integrity with others, and how celebrating small follow-through moments can actually rewire motivation and consistency. We’ll also weave in a Christian perspective—looking at health through the lens of stewardship, faithfulness, and grace. God doesn’t call us to perfection or instant results; He calls us to show up consistently, trust the process, and grow over time. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and ready for a sustainable, faith-centered approach to health, this episode will encourage you to stop chasing quick fixes and start building systems that truly support your life. ✨ 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.

    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.

    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.
