    Ep. 26 Is it REALLY my hormones? Or is it my habits?

    You're exhausted, gaining weight or can't seem to lose it no matter how much you exercise and you're seeing all this hormone stuff online telling you to get this test and drink this drink to "fix your hormones". But...is it REALLY your hormones? Or could it be something simpler? Hormones are finally getting attention, but they've also become the new excuse for everything. Gt ready for some truth love as we talk about what's actually hormonal versus what's just poor habits you're not addressing. Want to understand more about what's happening with your hormones?

    Ep. 25 "You're labs look fine"...but I feel like shit. What's the deal?

    If I had a dime for every time I've had a woman tell me she had bloodwork done, her provider told her they were "fine"...well let's just say I'd beat a pool with a cabana boy not in my basement with my cat right now. WHY, then, do you still feel like shit? You KNOW something is wrong, you're exhausted, bloated all the time, aren't sleeping, and just don't feel like yourself. Here's what they don't tell you. "Fine" or "Normal" labs simply mean they're not bad enough to get sick. It doesn't mean they're at optimal levels for YOU in the SEASON. Here's my take.

    Ep. 23 Everything you need to know about protein & perimenopause

    Protein is one of the most important nutrients for metabolism, muscle mass, energy, and appetite, yet many midlife women are eating far less than they realize. In this episode, we break down why protein needs increase as we age, what a realistic daily intake actually looks like, and how to spot the difference between real protein foods and clever marketing. You’ll also learn a simple trick to quickly tell if a “high-protein” food is actually protein-dense… or basically a candy bar with good branding.
