    Why Today's Body Standards Are More Dangerous Than Ever

    Send us Fan Mail In this eye-opening episode of What They Didn't Tell You: From Core to Floor, Dr. Millie sits down with licensed mental health counselor Rachel Tuckman to discuss one of today's most important conversations surrounding body image, diet culture, and the growing influence of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Together, they explore how society's definition of "healthy" has shifted, why extreme thinness is becoming the new beauty standard, and the emotional impact this has on women, men, teenagers, and families. Rachel shares her expertise on eating disorders, body image, Health at Every Size (HAES), and the psychological factors that often drive our relationship with food and our bodies. Rather than focusing on weight, this conversation challenges listeners to redefine health through nourishment, emotional well-being, meaningful relationships, and self-compassion. Whether you're navigating your own body image journey, raising children in today's social media culture, or simply trying to build a healthier relationship with food, this episode offers compassionate insight and practical perspective. In this episode: • The rise of GLP-1 medications and today's changing body standards • What "food noise" really means • Why hunger is a healthy biological signal • The psychology behind eating disorders • How social media shapes body image • Why commenting on weight can be harmful • The difference between thinness and true health • Helping children develop a healthy body image • Redefining wellness beyond appearance Connect with Rachel Tuckman Instagram: @racheltuckmanlmhc Website: racheltuckman.com If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could benefit from this conversation.

    The Truth About Your Menstrual Cycle That No One Ever Taught You

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of What They Didn't Tell You: From Core to Floor, Dr. Millie sits down with fertility awareness educator and founder of Reclaim Womanhood, Pessy Schwartz, for a powerful conversation about reconnecting with the wisdom of the female body. Together, they explore what it truly means to reclaim womanhood beyond cultural expectations and gender roles. Pessy shares how understanding the menstrual cycle isn't just about fertility, it's about recognizing your body's natural rhythms, embracing feminine energy, and living in greater alignment with yourself. You'll discover why your menstrual cycle is considered your "fifth vital sign," how each phase of the cycle carries its own purpose, and why symptoms may be messages rather than problems to silence. The conversation also dives into rest, productivity, burnout, nervous system healing, and the courage it takes to slow down in a world that constantly tells women to keep pushing forward. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating postpartum, coming off birth control, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of your body, this episode offers a fresh perspective that will change the way you think about hormones, femininity, and your overall well-being. In this episode, you'll learn: What it really means to reclaim your womanhoodWhy your menstrual cycle is more than just your periodThe four phases of the menstrual cycle and their deeper meaningHow to work with your hormones instead of fighting themThe connection between feminine energy, rest, and healingWhy slowing down can transform your health and relationshipsHow your body communicates through your cyclePractical ways to become more connected to your body's natural rhythmIf you've ever felt disconnected from your body or frustrated by your hormones, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and inspired to see your cycle in a completely new light.

    How to Have the Hospital Birth You Actually Want

    Send us Fan Mail This one is such an important episode. I’m talking to Sheva Mintz, a labor and delivery nurse at a high-risk hospital in Florida, mama of three, and someone who is deeply passionate about helping women walk into birth feeling educated, calm, and empowered. She believes in movement, breath, trusting the female body, and also in the value of medical support when it’s actually needed. If you’re planning a hospital birth and you want to feel informed instead of steamrolled, this one’s for you. We get into what advocacy really looks like in the delivery room, how to ask better questions before saying yes to interventions, what fetal monitoring is actually telling you, and why preparing for birth is about way more than just packing a hospital bag.  In this episode, we talk about:  what advocacy in the hospital actually looks like  the difference between informed consent and just going along with whatever is offered  what to ask before interventions like breaking your water  what fetal monitoring, decels, and positioning really mean  how to choose a provider who aligns with the kind of birth you want  why hospital birth does not have to mean giving your power away And a reminder... I’m also doing a free webinar on Sunday, June 7th all about how to prepare your body for birth. The details are linked here, and I would absolutely love to see you there.  If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or know someone who is, send this one to her.

    The Birth Story I Can’t Stop Thinking About

    Send us Fan Mail Season 4 is hereeee and we are kicking it off with such a special episode. In this conversation, I’m sitting down with Liat Buckman — women’s dietitian, hormone health educator, mama of four, and one of the smartest women I know when it comes to supporting women through their childbearing years. But today, we’re not talking about food. We’re talking about birth. And not just any birth. Liat is sharing the story of her first home birth after previous hospital births, and this episode honestly moved me to tears. We get into what led her to make this decision, how she chose her team, the fears she had going into it, and what it was like to prepare for birth in a way that felt deeply aligned, safe, and empowering.  This one is for you if:  you’re pregnant  you’re thinking about birth in a deeper way  you’ve had a hospital birth that didn’t feel great  you’re curious about home birth  or you just love a really beautiful, honest birth story In this episode, we talk about:  what led Liat to choose a home birth after prior hospital experiences  how she found the right midwife team and built trust with them  what kind of emotional and physical prep she did before labor  the fears and questions that came up around home birth safety  how labor actually started and what unfolded from there I loved this conversation because it’s such a reminder that birth is not just about outcomes. It’s about how a woman feels in the process. Safe. Seen. Supported. Heard. And that matters so much.  If you’re preparing for birth and want extra support, I’ve also included my free guides here to help you feel more ready in your body. Love you guys. Enjoy this one.

    How Deleting Social Media Changed My Life

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve been feeling a little off lately, scrolling more, thinking more, trusting yourself less, this one’s for you sis!!!!!! In this episode, I’m sharing what happened in the land of Millie when I deleted social media… and why it changed way more than just my screen time. We’re talking about what it looks like to get quiet enough to hear your own body again.  This is how you start trusting yourself again.  Most women aren’t disconnected because they’re broken.  They’re disconnected because they’re overstimulated. And your body is talking but YOU AIN'T LISTENING HONEY Inside this episode:  What shifted (mentally + physically) when I got off social media  Why constant input blocks your intuition (and what to do about it)  The connection between your nervous system, pelvic floor, and emotional health  How to start hearing your inner voice again Simple, realistic ways to build self-care into your day (especially if you’re a mom or busy) We also get into what real self-care actually looks like (hint: it’s not more stuff), and how to create a life where you feel clear, grounded, and like yourself again. And if you’ve been craving a space like that, this is exactly why we created Core Girls Club.
