Who's Dat Phat Girl with Brooke Hoover Brooke Hoover

Today's special guest HUYEN VU (a Functional Health Pracitioner AND Certified Physician's Assistant) was SICK AND TIRED of feeling SICK AND TIRED. After dealing with many health issues including IBS, Huyen knew there was more to feeling better than simply feeling like she was being bounced back and forth like a ping pong ball in a broken health system.

So, she took CHARGE of her health using functional medicine.

She not only has helped heal herself with functional medicine, she's helped her husband and so many other patients both as a physician's assistant and in her own practice as a functional health practitioner.

I WISH I would have known Huyen when I began my PCOS journey.

There is a way out, there is hope and it's within YOU once you feel IN CHARGE of your health and not at the beck and call of a very rushed and harried traditional medicinal system.

I have an episode for King Cake, an episode for Beignets and an episode for Biscuits. But, I didn't have an episode for something that I eat every day...until now.



My beloved Overnight Oats needed a special episode for many reasons:

They're easy to make - LEARN how to make more oat-based recipes and how to add in more protein with a few more "hacks" I have for ya.

They're resistant starch - HEAR WHY resistant starch is good for you

They're full of prebiotics - DISCOVER the role or prebiotics when it comes to probiotics and how they exist in a symbiotic relationship



And, of course, stay for all of my tales of breakfast woes of yore while growing up in 1980's Louisiana - from grits to Gatorade and more, I've got some stories for ya.



And, of course, I've got some recipes and tips for ya too.

Friend and Fashionista Jacqui Getz is telling tales with me today about her journey from high school principal to personal style curator. (You may have seen her on Vogue's Street Style Series - if not click HERE !)

Jacqui went back to get her SECOND master's degree in her 60's. Jacqui also has studied at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and she now specializes in helping women over 50 find and own their personal style.

If you ever thought that you don't have style, if you ever thought that you can't do something because of your age, if you ever let fear try to stop you, this is the episode for you (and by "you", I also mean me).

To me, Jacqui is true blue New York cool and she's also the kindest, most uplifting person. I am so grateful for our mutual friend Anna for introducing us. I thought Jacqui would be a perfect guest for Who's Dat Phat Girl and I think you will, too.

"You Gotta Get a Gimmick" can hold true for burlesque, cabaret and Broadway musicals but WHY oh WHY is it the case for health and wellness?



I used to be a sucker for a good marketing campaign. I used to be a sucker for anything that told me it would provide me instant relief, weight loss and enlightenment. I used to be a sucker for fat sucking (stay tuned to hear more).



And, after so much drama and too much money spent I am now OVER it. (Well, never say never.) In this here episode I'm telling tales about things that definitely did NOT work for me along my health journey from Living Social deals to doctors' recommendations.

Today I talk with long-time friend, fellow actor/writer/comedian Ken Perlstein about his road to recovery. Ken and I met two decades ago when we were part of an improv troupe called 8 Is Never Enough during the Bush Kerry era, doing political and non-political comedy sketch, improv and standup. I admire Ken for his fearlessness in being vulnerable about his recovery journey and his ability to help others. We are talking about Ken's success as an actor/writer/comedian today but also as someone who's overcome so much and is an awesome dad, husband, friend and human. Listen to the whole thing if you want to hear some fun impersonations from some of your fave (or maybe not so fave) political figures.
