    Gut Testing Revolution

    In this week’s episode, Sara sits down with Cheryl Sew Hoy, CEO and Founder of Tiny Health, the leading at-home microbiome health platform designed to optimize your gut and vaginal microbiome through all stages of life. When Cheryl’s daughter developed severe eczema and food sensitivities, she did what so many parents long to do—find the root cause. That journey led her into the science of the gut microbiome, and eventually to founding Tiny Health, a platform that now helps tens of thousands of families access advanced, science-backed insights to support lifelong wellness. You’ll learn: Why the first 1,000 days of life are a critical window for gut development How antibiotics, birth method, and diet can shape a child’s lifelong health What parents need to know about supporting the gut microbiome in babies, kids—and themselves The importance of “testing, not guessing” when it comes to chronic conditions, inflammation, and overall health And how Cheryl’s background in tech and entrepreneurship helped her turn cutting-edge science into practical tools for families “We don’t have to wait 10–15 years for research to catch up. Tiny Health gives us the tools to take action now—with data, not guesswork.” – Cheryl Sew Hoy If you’ve ever wondered whether a stool test is worth it, how to support your child’s immune system, or what kind of daily lifestyle habits affect your microbial health… this episode is for you.

    Unleash Legumes' Versatile Flavors with Mége Posner

    So many people ask me, Sara, how can I get to my daily protein requirement without consuming animal products? After recording this episode with Mege, I thought….think of beans like chicken! I often hear people say, I’m so tired of chicken. Yet, many of us are compelled to find a new and different flavorful recipe to prepare it, right?  So I hope this episode opens your mind to the diverse ways you can add a wide variety of legumes to your meals. We know that when beans, peas, and lentils are combined with other foods, the result is a dish with all of the 9 essential amino acids found in animal products. I’m definitely going to implement some of Mége’s time saving and taste tips this week. To learn more visit my website empoweredhealthyliving.org where you can subscribe to my Reset & Launch membership to give you all the tools, strategies, and support you need to transform your life and health. Most of us need support to transform - it’s not a question of will power! I've designed this membership program to be a no brainer - easy and flexible because no matter how badly we want different results, without the right support, education, accountability, and structure, it's nearly impossible to get there.  May you be happy and healthy.

    Omnivore to Vegan with Stephanie Whelan

    I’m excited to be speaking with my friend Stephanie Whelan about deciding to change her diet and going vegan 15 years ago. Stephanie was born and raised in Hawaii in a family who ate animal foods including dairy, meat, and fish - along with vegetables, fruit, legumes, and grains. Whether you've embraced a completely plant-based diet or are just curious about how you might create better health with food, I think you'll find her story of radically changing her diet thought provoking and inspirational.

    Women With ADHD With Theresa Garvin

    Today I’m having a conversation with my friend Theresa Garvin, who is a LICSW,  a transformational coach, and the owner and founder of The Life You Imagine. Theresa has been providing psychotherapy services to children, teens, adults, and families for over 35 years. After seeing the positive and rapid changes in her own life from transformational coaching, she became certified as a Life Mastery Consultant in 2020, and has been providing coaching to adults since then.  After sharing with one another that we both have ADHD, Theresa recommended that I read the book A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD by Sari Solden MS, who pioneered working with women and ADHD , and Michelle Frank, PsyD. Not only is this book a comprehensive guide for women with ADHD to increase their understanding and self-acceptance but Solden and Frank also take the reader through an action plan for women with ADHD to identify and pursue their dreams. This book affirmed for both Theresa and me why we love our work as coaches. Although Theresa helps adults and families decide what they want to transform in four main areas of their life, while I help people to create and take action on a vision for their health, we both provide principles, practices, support, and guidance for our clients to create powerful results in their lives which they absolutely love!  Theresa can be reached at:  https://www.lifeyouimagine.org https://www.facebook.com/theresa.h.garvin/  where you can check out her launching the book, Short Sweet and Sacred, Volume 3
