    E:346 What Actually Changes Outcomes (And What Doesn't)

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. Here is something I have observed after more than 20 years working in health and wellness. When people are not getting the results they want they almost always assume the answer is more complexity. A different protocol. A more advanced test. A newer supplement. A better biohack. And I understand that impulse completely. I lived it. When something is not working the brain wants to solve it by adding something. By finding the missing piece that must be out there somewhere more sophisticated than what you are already doing. But in most cases — not all, but most — the missing piece is not more complexity. It is more consistency with the fundamentals that were never fully in place to begin with. We are tackling that today, what is base zero, and the 5 pillars of the foundation, and how they can help.

    E: 345 Why Hormone Solutions Don't Hold for Some People

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. Today, we are going into something I see play out in my practice every single week. And I have been wanting to do this episode for a while because I think it needs to be said clearly and without a lot of hedging. We are talking about why hormone solutions don't work for some people. And before I go any further, I want to set the record straight on what this episode is and is not. This is not an anti-hormone therapy episode. This is not an anti-medication episode. I take a yes-and approach to medicine. Conventional tools have their place. Hormone replacement therapy has helped a lot of women. GLP-1 medications have real clinical value in the right context. I am not here to tear any of that down. What I am here to do is talk about the piece that keeps getting skipped. The upstream work. The foundational layer that has to be in place for any of those tools to actually do what they are supposed to do and keep doing it. Because when that layer is missing, I do not care how good the tool is. It will not hold. And I see this pattern constantly. So let's talk about it.

    E: 344 What Your Thyroid Labs Are Actually Reflecting

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. Your thyroid labs came back "normal." So why do you still feel terrible? If you have been exhausted, foggy, and frustrated despite doing everything your doctor told you to do — including taking your thyroid medication — this episode is for you. This week, we are breaking down why the thyroid is rarely the root cause of thyroid symptoms, what your labs are actually reflecting, and the upstream drivers that conventional medicine almost never checks. She also shares the story of a client who had been on thyroid medication for 13 years, felt terrible the entire time, and is now completely off her medication and thriving — not because her thyroid was fixed, but because the real root causes were finally addressed. In this episode: Why TSH is a pituitary marker, not a thyroid markerHow metabolic dysfunction silently suppresses thyroid conversionThe role of minerals, gut health, and chronic stress in thyroid functionWhy thyroid medication is often incomplete without upstream supportWhat it actually looks like to address thyroid symptoms at the rootIf you want to understand what your own labs might be reflecting, grab the free Metabolic Scorecard in the show notes.

    E: 343 The Real Reason Your Health Protocol Isn't Working

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. You're doing everything right. Clean diet, supplements, movement, stress management. And still — nothing is changing. In this episode, we're breaking down why effort alone isn't the answer, and why most women who feel stuck are not failing — they're solving the wrong piece entirely. We get into why your labs can say "normal" and still be missing the full metabolic picture, which early markers to look at right now, and why environment and timing matter more than most people realize. If you have ever felt like your body is just not responding no matter what you do, this episode is where you start.

    E: 342 Menopause Didn’t Break Your Metabolism — What Actually Changed

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. There’s a new study circulating that says menopause doesn’t impact metabolism. And on the surface… that sounds reassuring. But if you’re in your 40s or 50s and feel like:  nothing changed, but everything changed  you’re doing the same things, but getting different results  your labs are “normal,” but you don’t feel normal 👉 this episode is for you Because here’s the truth: The study didn’t say metabolism doesn’t change. It showed that calorie burn may not change significantly. But metabolism is more than calories. In this episode, we break down:  what the research actually measured (and what it didn’t)  why metabolism can feel “slower” even when it’s not  how muscle mass impacts metabolic function  the role of stress, recovery, and circadian rhythm  why your body responds differently to the same inputs This is the shift most women are missing: 👉 it’s not just what you eat  👉 it’s how your body is responding And that response changes during perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve been told:  “It’s just aging”  or  “everything looks normal” …this will help you understand what’s actually happening underneath.

    E: 341 The 3 Hidden Patterns Behind Fatigue, Weight Gain, and “Normal” Labs

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. If you feel like you’re doing everything right… but nothing is working — this episode is for you. “I’ve tried everything.”  “My labs are normal.”  “My doctor says I’m fine.”  “I still feel awful.” These are the exact phrases I hear every single day. And what I want you to understand is this: 👉 Your symptoms are not random.  👉 They follow patterns. In this episode, I walk you through the three most common metabolic patterns I see in practice that are driving the majority of symptoms — even when standard labs look “normal.” We break down: • Why inflammation is not the root problem (and what actually drives it)  • How blood sugar instability can exist long before diagnosis  • The role of circadian rhythm and your environment in metabolism  • Why “doing everything right” still isn’t working  • What your labs may be missing — and what to look for instead This is the shift from guessing… to understanding. Because once you understand the pattern, you can finally start making progress.

    E: 340 Why Meal Timing, Light, and Sleep Matter More Than Diet for Metabolic Health

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. We didn’t change her diet… and everything changed. In just over 30 days, her C-reactive protein (CRP) dropped from 36.6 to 0.8 — a 97% reduction in inflammation — without changing her calories, macros, or food quality. So what actually changed? In this episode, I break down the real drivers of metabolic health that most people overlook:  how meal timing impacts insulin sensitivity  why light exposure controls cortisol, inflammation, and energy  the role of sleep in regulating metabolism and immune function  how circadian rhythm acts as the control system for your body If you’ve been eating “clean,” tracking macros, and still not seeing results… this episode will help you understand why. Your metabolism is not controlled by food alone.  It is controlled by the signals your body receives from your environment. When you change the signal, your body changes its response.

    Why Your Labs Look Normal (But Your Metabolism Isn’t)

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. A 46-year-old woman was given 30 days to get better or her doctor wanted her on a statin. CRP: 36.6Cholesterol: 288ApoB elevated to 180sThirty days later? CRP dropped to 0.8. That’s a 97% reduction in inflammation.Cholesterol down 10%ApoB down 30%The shocker: We didn’t change what she ate.We didn’t cut calories.We didn’t overhaul her diet.We changed when her body experienced food. Her doctor was floored. Here's the question: Are we misunderstanding what your body is actually doing?
